A Redfield Advice says: The bust
ness of this locality is better than for
years past. Merchants report a better
trade than for any year since 1892.
The weather has been almost perfect
for holiday trading, and people have
taken advantage of ii. The prevailing
good prices for farm produce have
made farmers feel more like p%urchaS-
ing. and they have bought freely. The
heavy snow fall, instead of discour-
aging, has had an opposite tendency,
and is regarded as Il promise Of abund-
ant crops the coming season. Alto
gether the outlook for business men,
fer farmers and StOckmen is very
bright. Land agents look for an in
fiuX Of settlers in the spring and are
making preparations to meet it.

In the contested election case of Aud
VS.. Rartine, involving the office Of
states attorney Of Lyman county, the
face of the returns ave Bartine a ma
jority Of 6, but the recount just com
pleted by Judge Smith reduces this
majority to =. There is n new legal
question involved which may possibly
yet give the election 10 Aud. Bartine,
whose name was placed upon the bal
lot by petition, was designated in the
petition as representing Republican
party principles, while the auditor
placed his name upon the ballot as an
Independent. Therefore, the conten-
ton of Aud is that this action render
ed the nomination void. In the case
of Church VS.. Walker, involving the
office of county judge Of Lyman coun-
ty, upon the face of the returns Walk
er had 3 majority. while on the re-
count by Judge Smith it was shown
that Church Ckcp.) had a majority OF 3.
Mr.. +. +. Robinson Of HannafOrd,
Griggs county, net with n very unfort-
innate accident. During the early part
of the fall, while repairing his plow, a
small piece of steel struck him in n
right eye with such force as to bury it
self completely, rendering him totally
blind. He came to Fargo to consult
DR.. Rindlaub, the optician. after the
eye wound had healed so completely
that it appeared perfectly healthy, al
though tie sight was gone. The doc
tor was able to locate the piece Of steel
within the eyeball, and decided to Op-
crate. Remen. bering the attraction of
the magnet for iron, he conceived the
novel idea Of making an incision and
inserting an electric magnet, with h
gratifying result of withdrawing the
piece of steel which had buried itself in
the tissues next to the tense. which had
become Opaque. This being accom-
plishcd. a part of the iris was next cut
out and the tense itself removed. \
week after the operation the bandage
was removed. and, much to Mr.. Robin
sons qualification. he found that the
sight had been restored. This is one of
the most difficult and infreGuent Oper-
ations known To the profession, reguir-
ing great Skill and much experience.
