I Love You Dear

7 Love You Dear
A scent of violets in the air,
And singing birds.
A beauty newborn, fresh and fair,
Too deep for words;
A little maid with floral crown
On hair of gold,
And blushing cheeks where lies the kiss
OF lover bold,
Whose boyish lips a story tell
Into her ear,
As, bending low, he whispers soft,
Il love you, dear"
The breath of roses in the air,
And lilacs sweet,
sunny sky of azure blue
The morn doth greet;
A maiden crowned with womanhood,
And robed in white.
Before the altar proudly stands,
And answers clear
The one who whispers soft and low,
II love you, dear"
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1900-06-17

A whirl of snowfakes in the air,
cold, gray sky,
Where scudding clouds and wlntry winds
Go sweeping by;
A woman with a crown Of years
On silvered hair,
And faded cheek, where youths fair bloom
Once fingered there,
Besides the hearhstone knits and rocks.
While someone near
Bends low his whitened head and says,
Il love you, dear"

THE CHRISTMAS TRADE.
1t Has Been Very Large Despite
the Seeming Quietness Around
Town.


While business seemed to be quiet up
to three or fourdays before Christmas
the business men in general seem to be
quite we'll pleased with the trade of the
holidays. One of the business men re-
marked to The REPUBLICAN that he
sold more Christmas goods this year
than any year since he had been in bus
mess in Mitchell. Within the past few
days tho business has picked up re-
marksbly and in nearly all the stores
the clerks have had about all they
could attend to. Today there were a
great many Christmas shoppers out.
This extra amount of Christmas busi-
osss has increased the bu ,ine,s of the
post office and express ompanies. Post
master Clark and his force has been ex
ceedingly busy in handling the incom
ing and outgoing mail matter and Sat
ufday a7d today about thirty-fve large
sacks were sent out, while the iucOm.
ing mail reached as nearly large pro
portions The mail carriers looked
like veritable Santa Claus as they
struggled along their routes to deliver
the presents.

four years has rendered her resignation
to take effect March 1. For some time
1t has been evident among the friends
of Miss Fuller that her health would
not permit her to continue the work Of
the supreme court and on that account
she handed her resignation to tho SUI
preme judges.
Before accepting her appointment ~
clerk of the suprems court Miss Fuller
was the court rtstenographer of the fourth
circuit under Judge Haney and made
her home in this city. She also acted
in similar capacity in Judge Smiths
court in the first circuit before coming
to Mitchell. Miss Fuller is . lady of
fine business ability and her work ~
clerk of the supreme court was always
satisfactory. 1t is seldom the case In
any state whore lady has held the i'm
portant position as that held by Miss
Fuller and performed the duties as cap
ably. Miss Fuller has many warm
friends in Mitchell who will wish her
an early restoration to health.
Frank Crane, who was chairman of
the republican state Central committee,
has been appointed to take the place
made vacant by Miss Fuller's resigna-
tion. Mr.. Crane was the former super
intendent Of public instruction and is q
gentleman popular in the business and
political affairs of the state.

CONCERT AT COURT HOUSE.
Sioux Falls Concert Co. Made Its In
itial Appearance in Concert
Work Here.

1t was regretted that larger audi
ence was not in attendance at the con.
cert given by the Sioux Falls Concert
Co., which represents the Baptist col
lege in that city. Those who were
present, however, thoroughly enjoyed
the singing by the quartet and encored
the selections frequently. The work of
the quartet is highly commenGable
and their selections were given with
spirit and vigor. Mr.. Parkinson, the
first tenor, was former student of
Dakota University Mr.. Hamilton is
piano soloist of fine ability and his play
ing gave much satisfaction Mr.. Nor
ton gave several selection on the violin
and thus demonstrated that he could
handle the instrument in very capa-
BILE manner. We hope that the COM
pany will make q return visit to Mitch
ell in the future when there is not so
much going on and we believe it will
be heartily received
The concert was given under the
auspices of the schools of the city for
the purpose OF raising fund to equip
the various rooms with library.

BADLY DELAYED TRAIN.
A Burned Bridge Held the Milwau-
kee Passenger Over Ten Hours
at WOlsey.

The Milwaukee passenger from the
north which should have arrived in
Mitchell Thursday morning at IL
o'clock did not arrive until after 8
O'Clock Thursday night. The delay
was caused by a burned bridge two
miles north OF 'Wolsey. The fire was
seen the night before by farmer lily
ing few miles from the railroad track
but he thought it was haystack burn
ing and paid little attention to it until
in the morning when he arose early and
saw the flames still shooting upward.
He went over and made an investiga-
tion and saw that it was the railroad
bridge. He hurried to Wolsey and
notified the operator and all trains were
blocked by the dispatcher. The north
train was held at Tulare all day aud
little after o'clock it was ran to the
scene of the fire. The wracking train
which was sent to Wolsey from Mitch
ell, transferred the passengers, mail.
baggage and express across the ravipe
or creek which the bridge spanned.
The train which left here in the af-
ternoon transferred it's load to the pas
senger on the other eide and took up
the other burden to bring to Mitchell.
Frank Gibbs engine came near dying
on his hands on the way back and few
miles out of Letcher the boiler COM
menced to leak and the train came to q
stsndstill, but he finally managed to get
the train into the city. passengers
were tired and hungry but did not have
time TO secure anything to eat. A din.
ing car was taken on but the crew
which had charge of is declined to open
up and feed the hungry passengers.
The bridge burned was about 100 feet
long and it took fire at both ends, burn
ing some distance. The wrecking crew
worked hard all day to get it repaired
and shout midnight the job was fin-
ished: Trains could pass safely over
the structure today

crowd of people, when he placed 1t in
the bank. Mr.. Nielsen also stated that
he did not believe the holdup was in
any way premeditated or that they
knew of his having that sum on his per-
son, as no one knew that he was receiv-
ing the money other than the lodge
members. Whom he went into his Of

be did not light lamp and consequent
ly he could not be seen from the outside
by any parties. He placed 1921 ia one
pocketbook aud he had between $15 and
S1S in another.
Mr.. Nielsen said he thought that the
robbers held up the first man that came
along and that it was not through any
design that he was made the victim,
and this was evident from the conver.
sation of the two men when they had
finished going through the pockets OF
their prisoner.
It was lucky thing for Mr.. Nielsen
that the policeman and Mr.. Priest came
along at the time they did for with the
night being 80 cold there is no question
but what he would have frozen to death
before morning. Mr.. Priest had an ex-
perience only q few nights before while
on his way homa. Some stranger made
An attack on him for a holdup, but
Priest struck him over the head with
mis- dinner pail and made his escape. It
being late Saturday night whom he
finished his work In the barber chop
Policeman Coughlin walked up home
with him, aud, as it resulted came
along just in the nick of time to rescue
Mr.. Nielsen.
Mr.. Neilsen's home was besieged
with callers all day yesterday to learn
of the holdup. 1t seemed hardly pos
sible that conditions in Mitchell had
reached the point where citizen could
not go to his hons before the hour of
midnight without being held up, and
until something is done to rid the town
| OF the many suspicious characters peo-
| pie will have to take some precautions
to defend themselves from the attacks
of footpads.
The police officers have been looking
into the robbary since it occurred but
find it difficult matter to get clue tc
the parties who did the deed.
| Olher cases are reported of the work
Of class of criminals in the city. 1t il
stated that Saturday evening some man
gave chase to woman from the coun
try and she had to take refuge in JOSEPH
KOch's store.
Jos. McCaslin's cellar was burglarized
a few nights ago and a barrel of apples
was carried away.
1t is hardly possible that such things
can be kept up in this community LONG
without some of the offenders being
brought to justice.
Among the recent burgIar:es was the
theft of load of hay from J. a. simp
son. The fellow who stole the hay SOLD
it to party In the city and few in.
quiries lead to the discovery OF the mar
who made the steal. He finally settled
by paying Mr., Simpson for a portion O
the hay.

Politics in the Towns

The county board meeting Friday
brought the representatives of the
different towns here, and naturally
enough the politics of their towns
were more or less inquired in
to. The probabilities are that the
towns of Mason and Drummond will
return their present representa-
tiyes without opposition. II is I'M
derstood here that Mr.. Quayle does
not desire to again be a candidate
for chairman of Bayfield,. New men
will contest for the place, ano it is
intimated that Currie G.. Bell NAV
be one of the candidates The peo-
pie of Iron River are evidently well
pleased with Mr.. Saves adm inistra-
ton and will undoubtedly reflect
him. No opposing candidate has
shown up as yet. Of course the
situation in Washburn is we'll
know, and Mayor McBeath is liable
to have two or three opponents to
contest his claims to reelection.
Nothing has been heard from the
town of Pratt as to its Intentions

consideration. Promises of appoint
ment is always hindrance to eff
cient service, and promises of pro-
lection to gamblers ard other law
breakers is a hindrance to good
government.
Washburn is today completely in
the hands of the most vicious ele-
ment of it's population. I ask your
support of the following issues:
APPOINTMENTS:
No promises of appointments.
Fitness for the position should
govern all appointments. The peo-
plies interests must be concerned.
BUSINESS.
An economical and business like
application of the public funds. The
same rules that apply to private
business should apply to public
business.
PUBLIC WORK.
Great care should be exercised
in making improvements where thew
are the most needed, and a dollar
should pay for as much work for
the town of Washburn as for a pri-
vate individual.
LAW AND ORDER.
The license question is not an
issue this spring and we will likely
haYe saloons for some time to come.
AS, long as there are saloons in
Washburn the people are interested
in that business and have right to
say how it shall be conducted. Con-
certs in saloons shall be abolished.
Gambling shall cease and Wash
burn shall be made a very unpleas-
place for gamblers and their cap
pers.
The law governing the sale of
liquors to minors shall be enforced,
and boys shall be kept out of
saloons.
No man shall be supported for any
Office who encourages illegal voting
Let US demonstrate the fact that
we are able to govern ourselves with
some degree of decency if we want
to. Yours for good government,
