grand cloak and suit sale at the Ochsner
department store next week.
Douglas county went for Mckinley
this time by 50 majority. The Republic
can state committee had about SO ma
jority. The fusionists elected about
half the county ticket, but it was a
mighty close shave for some of them.
They elected their county auditor by a
majority of three and the treasurer by 5.
When Father Foote got out his fur
uvercoat last week We hustled around
considerable fixing for q Geld snap, but
not so much as we would have done had
not Observer S,uver told us that the
then mild weather would last until Jan
uary. Well stay by Father Foote next
time.
1. has been reported north of us that
the Kimball coal dealers have raised the
price OF coal 70 cents per ton, and it has
been said that some farmers have gone
way to Miller for coal. If so, they had
their loug trip for nothing. Coal in
Kimball has not been raised, and we
have had it from responsible partie that
our dealers are selling cosl rs cents less
than at towns in Charles Mix.
There were all sorts of freak election
bets scattered over the country; take a
half column TO tell about them. The
most sensible one to come to cur notice
was Between a young couple in Pennsyl-
vania. He Dot her that if Mckinley was
reelected, he would marry her. She bet
him that if Bryan was elected, she would
marry him. They were married tile
18th. That is a Observation-Disclosures
lose bet that is something like 1t.
Don't say anything more about my
having New York apples said G. D. Rose
to the GRAPHIC man Saturday. "They
are chasing me to death about them; !
sold them ont in a few days and could
have sold as many more" Then along
came G. s. Blodgett with: "If you've
got ANYTHING in the GRAPHIC about my
coal bins being full, for heavens sake,
take it out, take it out; I've sold seven
teen cars. Of coal in two weeks and can't
get it fast enough" You can make the
moral to ct the crime.
The creamery paid off for October milk
this week, the price for per cent milk
being II cents. Butter was low in Octo-
Der, averaging about % cents, we think,
and the price for milk was correspond
inglY lower than for the previous month.
Last year the average price OF butter
was about "a cents, and about twenty
three cents in 1897 and 1898. The
creamery paid an average OF 81 cents
for October milk in 1897, 81 cents in
1893, and 93 cents ia 1899. A cent per
pound OH butter, up or down, is cquiva.
lent to about 5 cents per hundred. Ex-
penses vary from month to month. and
it is not always possible for the secretary
to fit the price paid for milk exactly on
this 5 cent basis. The yield from the
churn has something to do with it, and
sometimes there is a premium, then
again a cut in price by the commission
men. The receipts Of milk, too, have a
bearing on the average price paid. But
taking one month with another, patrons
can generally depend upon a raise or
fall in butter to affect the price of their
milk about 5 cents per hundred to every
cent butter rises or falls. This months
will bring 4 or 5 cents per pound more
than October butter and the next pay
ment for milk all the moro better.
