Circuit Court.

His Honor, Judge Gaffy and STEM
ographer Little arrived Tuesday, and
opened the fall term of court at Mil
Ter. The calendar was a very small
one, and the business quickly dis
patched. Among the visiting attor-
neys present were j. l.. Pyle and {.
G. Hartley, both former citizens OF
MILLER, but now residing at Huron
and Sioux Falls respectively.
The Platts case was called up yes
terday and dismissed, and the Nc
Carthy a was set for Nov. 4th.
An assault and battery case, grow
ing out the Haberling difficulty in
north Hand county, is being tried
today.

TO FALL PURCHASERS.
Advantages to be Obtained by PurcliaS'
ing in the Right Place.

The PRESS desires to call the atten-
ton of Hand county people to one
or two business facts.
First, Miller is by far the best town
west OF Huron, sells more goods
and ships more products.
Second. Miller has more stores ana
larger stocks of goods than any
neighboring towns, giving greater
variety to select from.
Third, Miller has several active
stock buyers and grain buyers, VINO
will crowd the markets to the eH-
treme upward limits to buy your
products.
Fourth, Miler's hotel and restaur-
ant accommodations are first class.
Fifth, the pure artesian water that
gurgles forth at the head OF main
street is an eliXer of life, and is good
for man or beast.
Sixth, about all lines OF business
are represented here, with competitor
in each, and the advantages here
offered the people for purchasing
their fall and winter supplies, are
worth going several miles to obtain.
Miller merchants are this fall bet
ter prepared than ever to supply the
people OF Hand and neighbOring
counties with the best and newest
products of the world for their pleas
ure. The stocks are here to be sold
at bargains, and without a single So
licitation, or penny's interest in the
goods, the Press advises purchasers
for their own interest to come to
Miller, see the goods, talk with the
merchants, learn their prices, and
you will say the PRESS has again
given you good advice.

A nice way 70 cook an egg for a
delicate stomach is as follows: Heat
a cup of milk to the boiling point in
a perfectly new tin cup. While at the
boiling point, break and drop into it
a perfectly fresh egg, then set the tin
back where it will not let the milk
boil and let the white "set" for four
minutes, then lift out and serge with
a bit OF good butter and a little salt.
