W. j Sellick makes "A straightforward
business announcement this week. and
is now prepared for spring trade in
every department.
Broughton has three big advs in the
NoRTHEBNER this week. Every one
OF them is valuable To our readers.
Don't forget them.

nation set for April ID.
Mrs. Pauline Pearse of Wayne, Cass
County, has rented her farm and re-

Friday afternoon at 2:30, "A meeting
of farmers of this vicinity will be held
at the grange hall to talk over the
securing of a station for agricultural
experiment work, with particular refer
ence TO devising means to counteract
the effects of drouth. All farmers and
others who are interested are invited

The editor of the NoRTHERNER feels
hattered. He is credited by the local
organ of the democracy with overturn-
ing in a couple of hours a political
scheme that it took the leaders of the
unterrifed couple of weeks to con
coct, and fifty democrats in caucus as
sembled half a day to consummate.
The flattery is not entirely deserved,
as other republicans did their full share
in the excellent political work of smash
ing the sham free silver ticket
Geo. w. Balm, the Kentucky orator,
was the last speaker of the Coterie lee
ture course, and a full house greeted
him Monday evening He is one of
those men who attracts his audience in
spite of himself-his appearance and
voice not in the least indicating the
mans powe:' of speech. His lecture
was a popular one, not too heavy, but
sparkling with good thoughts and
merry incidents. The Coterie course
has been most successful one, so far
as furnishing acceptable entertainment
is concerned, and the ladies deserve the
thanks of the public for providing it.
Friday afternoon, Supt. Meredith of
the s. Ii. & +. met number of our
leading business men in the office of
tho paW Dau Sauinnc Ranly tn tnl
over the scheme of procuring a passen-
ger and freight depot near the business
center of this village. While no definite
propositions were made on either side,
the whole talk was favorable to the
project, and it is probable something
tangible will soon be proposed. The
rink seems to be thought the most
feasible building for this purpose, and
its location could not be better. If this
building should be secured right of
way would be asked for from the big
mill, along the east side of Gremps
street.
About two o'clock last Friday morn
ing, Nightwatch Lord saw light in
the rear part of Longwell's store. He
thought druggist was there putting
up medicine for some one, but, like the
careful official that he is, he investi-
gated by trying the front door, but the
light had disappeared. Finding that
locked, he went to the back door,
which was also locked. Careful inves-
tigation showed a window glass had
been broken from the rear window,
but no one was i'm sight. Geo. Long
well Jr was notified and came to the
store. where he found that burglar
had been in and had taken little over
two dollars in change from the cash
drawer Nothing else was missing.
+. ). Briggs, when he went to his mill
the next morning, found that also had
been entered, but nothing had been
stoleE. 1t is probable the same party
entered both places. There is no clue
to the identity of the miscreant, but it
is reasonably sure that the thief or
thieves live in this village.
