Opening Of the Bruegger Mer-
camille Co.'s New Store.

A week ago to-day occurred the 18th
business of the B,uegger Mercantile Co.
Of this place. On the oath of May, 1900.
the company opened their mammoth
store, 50Xl00, consisting of two stories
public. Thirteen years before this, John
and George Bruegger came here from
Alma. w lsconsin, and started business
in tent. That Time works changes
must be apparent to every one. John
Bruegger IL Bro. conducted their bust.
ness in a ten, for about five months, and
then moved into a log shack near the
depot; later, this was novel to its pres
ent location, where il is used rs butch
er's shop. From there the business was
moved to log building situated where
the present brick drug store is to-day,
and about ten,yeurs ago the brick build
ing next to their new store was pur-
chased. At that time this building was
only half its present size, but after being
enlarged WAS used by them until the
new brick block was built. Now, their
new building will compare favorably
with any store building III the state OF
North Dakota. Modern in. every re.
spect, well lighted and ventilated, it is a
building that towns many times larger
in size than Willlston might we'll feel
proud Of.
I Tie Bruegger Mercantile. Co. carry al.
most ervthing needed by the people
of Winston. and have done much to
build up and improve the town.
The class OF goods handled in the diff
ferent departments by tins firm can be
seen by referring to tEeir advertisement
in this issue. Beside those mentioned
there will be confectionery and tobac-
CO department, ana live stock and real
estate will also be handled.
IT. il due 70 this lrm that the Williston
brick yard WAN started, which is now
leased to Mr. Ed. Link.
The firm consists of John Bruegger,
George Bruegger, J. Zeno Bruegger,
Chas. Baldwin and Paul Leonlardy, all
OF whom, except J. Zeno Bruegger, who
came from WATERFOWL, Wis.,, about three
pears ago, have been known to the peo-
pie OF WilistOn nearlyAs long as the
town itself, and to- say ANYTHING about
the sterling honesty, enterprise and re-
liable business methods employed by.
this firm, would be only telling over
again what the people of this county al
ready know.

PALINDRcMeS.

Says the London Globe: We have re-
ceived the two following palindromes
from our readers:
Sator arepo tenet opera rotas.
and
Ni(ps)on onomemata me rponon o(ps)in.
The first OF these will not only read
backward, but II one begins with the in
itisl letter of each word, then takes the
second Of each word, and so on, the SEN
tence is again made up in It's original
order; and II one repeats the process
backward. of course. one gets the same
result again.
Two more palindromes reach us from
industrious readers. The first contains
the word and" which must be written
% TO make the sentence read back
ward. Snug e. raw was l ere i saw war
and guns" The other is an old favorite,
but for reatness has hardly been beaten.
II Is supposed 10 be Adams first remark
to Eve: Madam, I'm Adam"
The three-syllable word which spells
the same word backward is "reviver,"
and this has been guessed by few OF
our readers. Other similar three-syllable
words .c are ".delaed, "Iotator." "aluIa"
informs us that all these words were
once woven into clever rhyme, and he
asks II any OF our readers can remember
-A4atl-eE- -esFEaspaAel--s4t- 4,= -YrerA-
which contains all the English vowels in
their correct order-'facetious,"
Another word that contains all the
vowels s'x. IN their proper order, il
"abstemiously." From another corre-
spondont we receive the word "rcpaper''
as ono that spells the sarno word back
ward Nanoleon's supposed sentence:
able was ere 7 saw Elba" 10 one that
r1alges the same doubtful sense backward
The Latin language seems particularly
well fitted for ralindromes. A correspon-
dent sends us three samples. A Roman
lawyer had for his motto: Isl nummi i'm
munic." There is an Ingenious coupist
which runs:
signa te. sigma; temerc me tanyfs Of an
gis; Roma tibi subito motibus ibit
