peculiar sympathy. Bismarck was once
our capital city and in its halcyon days
was a source of pride for it's generosity
and openhanded enterprise. From
thence also has the stream of corruption
flowed many times into u state politics
and there the final act in the great poll
teal and financial separation of a divid-
ed statehood took place. There are
many things in our common history to
remind us as a people of the interest
we once had in Bismarck and to bring
home the lesson that cities like indi-
viduals and nations have to answer for
their sins. But in spite Of all this, the
loss to the city of virtually all it's bus.-
ness houses commands our deepest
commiseration.

Safe OLD STORY.

At the picnic Wednesday at Terry's
grove, John Minton and a boy
got into an alteration over some trifl-
ing matter and during the fight which
followed, Minton pulled out pair of
knuclSs and began to use them. Cal.
Priest and Ellis McCarty, who were
standing near, seeing the play stepped
in and separated the combatants and
took the knucks away from Minton,
apparently ending the trouble. In a
few minutes however. Minton came
around to where McCarty was stand
ing and drawing knife made a VIC
ious cut at him which he received in
the left arm in attempting to ward off.
The cut is very deep and painful and
might have been fatal, had it not been
for the fact that he threw up his arm,
as it was aimed directly at the region
of the heart. Minton Immediately
skipped out and up to the present time
has not been heard from.
1t is regretable fact that for sew
y
otherwise pleasurable affairs has been
marred by the actions of a few would
be bad men, who apparently go pre-
pared to make trouble and who usu-
ally succeed before the day is over re-
gardless of the fact that every precau-
ton is taken by the management to
prevent it. There are several embryo
desperadoes over there whose ardor
for "blud" can only be cooled by a
few lessons in the art of digging coal
as taught at Lansing, and the sooner
they are put through a course the bet
ter it will be for the community, and
the less will be the chances of a repiti-
ton of the Pryor's grove affair,

A SURPRISE.

Mrs. r. NJ. Drake, of Franklin, was
the recipient of very pleasant sur
prise on the morning of Aug. 8, it
being the 63rd anniversary of her
birth. Her friends and neighbors
kept dropping in. each with a we'll
filled basket, taking possession of her
Kitchen and dining room until some 35
had arrived. when they proceeded to
set dinner fit for the gods. Grand
ma Drake will long remember the Bird
OF August, 1898. #*#
