was for pleasure to some extent, still the
c%atarrahal difficulties which afflicted
Mr.. knapp's nasal arrangements, super
induced by the result Of the late cleo
ton, were entirely eradicated and he
will now.be able TO devote his spare mo-
ments to delivering panegyrics upon
the hydra-headed political cormorants
which infest Union county-according
TO his ideas.
Chapters of a readible and pleasant
continued story will be found in THE
COURIER each week. We are on the
eve of making arrangements for another
story which will appear on the inside
pages, thus giving u readers two
stories in each issue which will be con-
tinued from week to week. They are
written by the most popular authors OF
the day. Now is the time to subscribe
and thus get advantage of the early
chapters.
In each issue will be found a letter
from our correspondent at Pierre.
They will prove interesting reading
and will contain those matters of in
terest to Union county particularly
and generally such matters with regard
to the state. Better subscribe ana
keep posted. We do not charge any
more on account of the letters, but
where the subscription is paid in adj
vance for one year will send the Inter
Ocean free OF cost.
THE COURIER has a selection of one
dozen large cuts Of stations to select
from for those who wish to get out
hand bills during the coming year. A
larger line can not be found in any
town in the state. In our wood type
we have eighteen fonts, five times a.
many as are found in any other office.
We are prepared to p%rintthese bills at
the most reasonable terms and guaran-
tee satisfaction. We can print any
| size that is wanted.
Our Job hook"is crowded these days
with job work. We have 40 less than
sixteen jobs on the hook in waiting,
and while il is a pleasure for us to have
such a condition confront us, our pat
rons will nave to bear with us a little
longer until WI get Strengthened
around in our new office. With our
new type and new machinery we car
turn out better work and more of it
than any Office in the city. We are
making a specially of legal blanks and
We claim to excel in that line.
Samuel Grant OF Fairbault was the
guest of Mayor Gilmore one day last
week. Mr.. Grant is the son of Donald
Grant, a director in the Citizens bank
and who is reputed to be worth a mil
lion dollars, being one of the wealthiest
men in Minnesota. Youpg Mr.. Grants
visit here was for the purpose of estab-
fishing, if possible, a telephone system.
There is no doubt that a line Of that
character would be a re%lnunerative one
and furnish a convenience to our mer-
chants which they are in need of.
Albert Jordan of Galveston, Tex,
and a cousin of the Vinson boys of Ver-
milliin was in the city on Tuesday for
the purpose of securing victims for the
southern boom. Mr.. Jordan had plenty
of printed literature with him and told
of raising potatoes in Texas as big as
washing boilers, and peanuts on cucum-
Der vines and all colors of cotton from
the pinky pink to that of the column
bine. To those who wish to swelter
in the MONDAY heat and cook their
meals by the aid of sun, Texas is the
place to go.
The Forest lodge of Modern Wood
men Of this city has been growing with
wonderful rapidity of late. From
twenty-three members ten months ago
it has grown to a lodge of forty-five
members in good standing. The in
feature is something which is
cheap and reasonable and does not
break a persons back to pay. An in
vitation has been extended to the Ponca
and Newcastle lodges to come over and
appreciate the culinary ability Of some
of our city cooks. The event will take
place in the near future.
Judge Smith has decided that back
personal taxes cannot be made a lien
on real estate. The case in point was
in Douglas county. Settlers in an early
day frequently made proof on their
land, mortgaged it for all they could
get, and left the land to be foreclosed
and frequently left personal taxes un-
paid. The county treasurer held that
these personal taxes we're a lien on real
estate. and proceeded to sell the land to
satisfy them. The Iowa Land COM
pany, which 10 ownes considerable
land in that county acquired by fore
closure, brought action to restrain the
treasurer from selling the real estate
for that purpose, and the decision has
just been made in favor of the COM
pany.
