and all fair men and women will
Justly condemn his course. Of all
who should complain of improper
doings he should be the last. His
unjust reference to me would not
notice, were it not for his most wick
ed and heartless purpose toward
those who are innocent of wrong. He
we'll knows the injustice he is doing,
and the falsity of his statements"
The general goes on to say that ae
was invited to the asylum always by
the doctor, and that he has great re-
spect for Mrs, A. The doctors
treatment of her was often cruel and
heartless over trivial matters. That he
had been tried and true friend to
the doctor and in return he is bitten by
his supposed friend. The general
denies all charges against him. So
there you are.
The first of the week DR.. Moore
took charge as superintendent of the
asylum and DR.. Archibald's reign
terminated. His reign has been long
and if accusations are true it has
been fearful.
Probably we shall hear but little
of this much advertised family until
their divorce trial comes off. DR..
Moore has grave charges aga in st
him. Unless these are proven false
the public will not rest until he is
also cast out. Let there he no favor,
itism, no coddling of pets. Purge
thoroughly.

A man was here from North Dako.
ta last week telling our people how
healthy it is in that country. He said
he was travelling through the country
one day and met an old gray man
who looked to be about ninety years
old. The fellow was standing at a
farm gate crying as though his
heart would break. When asked
why he was crying he answered that
his father had whipped him. Then
he asked why he had whipped him,
and the answer was, because he had
been teasing his grandfather.-Macy

The Aberdeen News gives an ac-
count of a wealthy farmer near that
town who has made a trip through
California and Texas, and returns to
South Dakota satisfied with it. The
gentleman was delighted with the
climate and other advantages, and
would gladly trade his property in
Dakota for property of equal value
in California, if there were only an
equal chance to make a living. The
people OF the Southwest are largely
engaged in fruit farming and they
barely make living at it. Grapes
sold in California for $3.50 per ton;
raisins atla a pound. A dairyman
was selling milk for 81 20 hundred,
he thought that very good price but
was informed that the dairyma n
had to buy hay at $40 per ton, and
feed his COWS of it from May to Janu-
ary. These facts We're not obtained
by hearsay but directly from the
inhabitants themselves: as the Dako-
ia gentleman put in some time in the
rural districts looking up the exact
state Of things. There is no ques-
tion but that one can make good
living easier in the Dakotas than any
where in the Union, and at-the same
time he can, by thrift and good man
agement, secure a home and be free
and independent. Look before you
leap out of Dakota,
Another severe storm OF wind and
rain ragged over large portions
of the Eastern and New England
states last week Thursday. At times
the wind blew at the rate of " miles
an hour on Broadway street, New
York. Women and children were
blown down and q number were
injured and taken to hospitals.
Brooklyn Jared worse. Two men
died and others were seriously injur-
ed by rough usage from the storm,
Trees were .uprooted, fences and
trees were blown down and windows
smashed. At Rockaway Beach the
wind piped so miles an hour. Sand
was blown on railroad track two
feet deep, and one engine was derail-
ed in New York state. In Waterbury,
Ct, water inundated the principal
business streets, to depth of five
feet, and is said to have done $4,000
damages In Vermont it was cork
er. Rain, snow and wind prevailed
delaying trains, and crippling the
electric service. Meanwhile the wea
ther has been going along quietly
and merrily up here. Not a bad
break this winter.

WHEAT SMUT.
A Reliable Receipt for getting rid Of it.

Prof. Bolley, of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Fargo, sends
the following treatment for wheat
infected with smut.
Wheat smut is disease due to the
growth of a parasite plant inside Of
the wheat plant. The dust in the
smut balls is made up of
the seeds (spores) of that parasite.
These spores germinate and send a
filament in the young plant at the
time when the wheat is terminating.
You can raise clean normal crop if
you follow the directions below. Ut
is no experiment, it has been demon
strated).
How To Blue Stone on a Large
Scale: (a) Pile the wheat on the
floor. With a good spraying nozzle
and hose attached to hose pump, wet
the pile with fine, strong spray of
the sulphate solution, and keep shcv-
cling the pile over, so that every
grain will be wet all over. do not
let the grain have more OF tho solu-
ton than necessarily. b. Ole half
hour later spray on some OF the lime
water and shovel over again. If pro-
perly done there will be no excess
water on the grain. 1t may be drilled
at once.
A sprinkling pot may be substitut-
ed for the spray pump, but it is diff
cult to put the solution on evenly
Formulas. Copper sulphate, five
pounds to 20 gallons of water.
Caution: Remember that Copper
Sulphate is not Copperas.
7 Lime water. One pound of quick
lime to ten gallons Of water.
The object of the lime water is to
stop the poisonous action of the cop
per.

A SUCCESSFUL MUSICALE.

1t is doubtful if the people of
Oakes ever received as much good
music for 25 cents as was furnished
them last Tuesday evening by the
Presbyterian Ladies Aid Society.
The musical ability displayed on this
occasion was surprise to most of
our citizens and nothing but the
highest words of praise are heard
from everyone who attended.
Prof. Bradley deserves great credit
for the performance of his orchestra
of seven pieces. The four selections
and encore were all we'll rendered
and the music was of the grade which
is heard in the best city operas.
1t is to be hoped that NJ. Bradley
will be able to hold the orchestra to-
gether and give us many more selec-
tions of the same kind.
The flute duet, The Swiss Boy, by
Messrs. Sloeum and Dougherty, was
a beautiful number. Both these
gentlemen are accomplished musi-
clans on these instruments.
This is the first opportunity which
the people Of Oakes have had of hear
ing Mrs. j. E. Ellsworth as soloist,
and all were much pleased with the
power and sweetness of her voice as
it was heard in Concore's difficult
song, Judith.
This was also the first appearance
of Miss Maybelle Vincent before an
Oakes audiance as an elocutionist.
The pleasing manner in which size
reclted "She wanted to be Meson"
fairly captured everyone.
Miss Pearl Trauger showed her
self to be piano soloist of consider
able ability by her rendition of Le-
bach's Mill Wheel.
The rendition of Douglass by Mrs.
j. G, Hood, with piano accompani-
ment was the first of the kind ever
hoard in Oakes and was a pleasing
eurprise. Mrs. Hoods recitations
are always thoroughly enjoyed.
'Nydia, the blind girl" given later
in the evening was most beautiful
selection and ably rendered.
1t is not often that Mrs. Slocum
will consent to giving a piano solo,
but when she does it is thoroughly
enjoyed. Her selection, der Ca
liph yon Bagdad" was ably rendered
and called forth many words Of
praise.
One OF the pleasing surprises Of
the evening was the appearance Of
Miss Helen Harris as soloist. Oakes
people have known that she has a
good alto voice but this is the first
time they have ever heard it in solo
work, and all were much pleased
i with its power and sweetness. Her
selection was, "The Day is Done,"
by Baife.
| Everybody likes to hear H. E. BLY,
sing as was evidenced by Tho enthu-
siasm with which the old song "Nan-
cy Lee" was received. The audi
ance tried hard to call him out again
but was unsuccessful.
A piano selection from the opera
Mariana was rendered by Mrs. Chas.
S. Brown, whose playing always
seems popular with Oakes audiauces.
The only poor number on the PRO
gram was the good night quartet by
the Presbyterian choir but as the
voices of the singers had become
tired this was very easily overlooked.
Mrs. Browns fine Mehlin piano which
was taken into the halt greatly added
to the enjoyment of the occasion.
| The entire concert was so much
enjoyed that many have expressed a
desire to have it repeated and it will
certainly stand repeating in the neal
future.

Speaking Of the contest in the Grand
Lodge, Degree of Honor, for the next
place for holding the Grand Lodge,
the Michigan Herald says: Invita-
tions were received from Jackson,
Kalamazoo, Saginaw and Belding for
the Grand Lodge to hold its next ses-
sion at the several places. Sister
Luella X. Webster, Grand Receiver,
OF Belding, made a strong plea in be-
half OF that city. in which she held
that If the Grand Lodge did not hold
It's session there next year il never
would, as the organization was grow.
ing so rapidly that it would be impos-
sible for city as small as Belding TO
entertain the Grand Lodge after next
year. AT tfrst there was quite good
deal of opposition TO meeting there,
the members preferring either Jackson,
Kalamazoo or Saginaw, but Sister
Webster made such an earnest plea in
behalf of Bedng that she finally won
the victory aud the Grand Lodge will
meet there in 1897

A SUDDEN SUMMONS.
Frank A. Smith Found in lbying Condl- T.
tion in the Road at an Early Hour }
sunday Morning.


Frank A. Smith died quite suddenly,
Sunday morning, shortly after SIX
O'Clock. He resided on the North side
with his family and arose in the morn
ing about five o'clock telling his wife
he would 90 and take a walk as he was
not feeling well. In about one hour he
was brought back To the house in dy-
ing condition, and expired soon after.
Matt Retterstorf and Frank Simons
had started out to go fishing and just
after they had passed the Belding farm
house they discovered n man lying on
the ground i'm the road almost uncon-
scious. They called Mr.. Mikesell who
Immediately recognized him as being
Mr.. Smith but did not know where he
lived. He was in great pain and want
ed to be taken home. Mr.. Mikesell
hurriedly hitched up team and had
him taken to Mr.. Mitchell's who inn
mediately took him home, calling up
his SON. Leonard To care for him. DR..
Pinkham was quickly sent for.
but on his arrival soon ascertained
that the man was beyond medical help
and he expired in a few minutes.
Mr.. Smith had been afflicted with
kidney disease for several years and OF
late his trouble had been growing
worse. On two or three other occa-
sions in the past few years he had been
brought home suffering with similar
attacks rs the last one.
The day before he walked to Green
vile anl back in search Of work and
it is supposed this had much to DO in
bringing on "A recurrence Of his trouble
in an acute form. Mr.. Mikesell says
he told him he had not taken anything
but that he became terribly sick and
fell down i'm the road and wanted To be
taken home.
He was % years old and moved here
three or four years ago from Clarkstory
Mich. he leaves wife and six children
He was member of the order of Mac
cabees and was buried under their aus
pices Tuesday afternoon, the funeral
being held at the M. +. church. De
ceased carried life insurance policy of

BY consenting TO allow their Office
to become a medium Of
circulation for the "snap' advertis-
ments of certain manufacturers Of the
scheme order, ON the desk of an occa-
sioual merchant can be found the bak-
ing powder, soap or corset note bill or
statement heading, and sometimes the
whole outfit. At the small expense Of
printed stationery in the Legitimate
way, it is passing strange that any Dus-

as to become the personal endorser Of

BY beautifully graduated degrees
the vouminous character OF woman 5
dress is losing its aggressive expan-
sion, and lines of beauty and grace
which for the past few seasons have
been ruthlessly ignored are once more
recognized; so artfully have these
notifications been introduced, how
ever, that it is only by comparison
with what has been that we realize the
change already wrought. Seldom are
monstrous balloon sleeves stitlened to
insolent unyieldingness; and by gentle
reefs, here and there, woman is return
ing to something at least approaching
her natural proportions.
