you want 'em. I keep hotel. too. l
don't want you to forget about that.
You'll find you can buy things at a
mighty reasonable price at nay place
Some of the reasons for that are these:
Because own my own store-house and
other buildings. Because pay up my
taxes. and therefore don't get caught
for penalty. interest and costs. Be-
cause I'm a careful man and had An
drus insure my buildings in the Fes-
senden company for 81, ,l5O (And this
is no ting g-a-ling cents josh, either.
Because I kill wolves and get money

the cooking. Because I've got no hired
man to worry my life away by strik-
ing me for his wages when I'm little

SnERNEY BOB. of Mandan. evolves. In
the Mandan Pioneer of last week, a aatulent
gush of thankfulness to Senator Hans
brough. No office-holder in the state has
been more villainously abused than Hans
brough has been abused through the me-
dium of the Sheeney's capacious mouth and
mercenary pen. 1t was only few months
ago that, in answer to . request for his
opinion as to when Bingenheimer would be
appointed, the Sheeney replied: II don't
know. Hansbrough hasn't yet succeeded in
getting anybody appointed, except a drunk

assume that he was factor of influence
with Hansbrough in securing Bingenheim-

that Little. Philbrick, Tuttle-snd the
push generally in Burleigh and Morton
who advocated the scheme of presenting
the N. p. with the biggest share of its
taxes-are of necessity extremely anxious
to have the company defeat the counties
that are making the fight. After the
counties win, it may cause some of the
despoiled voter-taxpayers Of Burleigh
and Morton to wonder where they are a,
and take political action for the purpose
of ascertafuing.

Little Harmon Allen was taken sick
last Sunday. DR.. Harcourt was sent

does, regardless of weather or distance.
He soon declared that the disease was
scarlet fever. Mr.. and Mrs. Allen at once
determined that in at least one instance
in Emmons county there would be rigid
quarantine. There will be no communi-

until the little fellow shall be GONZALES

disease breaks out, diph,heria or scarlet

Death Of u Child.

Robert Buchanan was in town Monday.
He brought news of the death of Johnnie
Dickson, aged about two years, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Dickson, of Will
Transport, at the Buchanan ranch. Sun
day night. The child had been very sick
for some time, and at the time of his
death the parents were taking him to
Bismarck for medical attention. When
DR.. Harcourt was down here recently he
gave it as his opinion that the little fel-
low was badly afflicted by worms; and
the excessive number Of the pests seems
to have been the cause of death. The
funeral services took place yesterday after
noon at the family residence.
