GROWING BUSINESS.

Nothing appeals so quickly to the
purchasing public as cleanly bust
ness house. 1t costs some little extra
effort to keep a business house clean
in all its departments. but the COM
pensation is always more than the
cost
Since The Thompson Jewelry &
Music company's business has been re-
moved to the Reed block. that store
presents as handsome an appearance as
any store in the city. The stock has
been entirely overhauled and much
new added in the jewelrv department,
while in the display of musical in
has ever been attempted by this house
i'll the musical line. 1t has ON exhi-
hition the largest line of pianos ever
shown in the city, consisting of the
Steinway, Knabe, Cable. Fischer and
other first class makes.
1t is the intention of Manager
Thompson of the company to unateri-
ally change the interior of the store
Work has begun already and much
change has been effected which adds
not only to the utility of the store as
business house, but adds to its beau
ty as well and provides mple display
room for his piano stock.
1t is the aim of Mr.. Thompson dur
ing the balance of the season and for
fall trade to materially add to his
| ipwelrV line He will aim tn keen n
high grade of goods. which will make
his house the headquarters for strictly
first class watches. diamonds and
| iewelry.
A part of the business which has
grown constantly has been the watcf
repair business. Mr.. Walter Prim.
rose, II skilled matchmaker and en-.
graver has this portion of the busi.
ness under his personal care an6
| through his attention it has been grow
| ing from day to day.
This house is now growing to be
one of the old business firms of the city
and it cordially invites through The
Sentinel your patrona ge in its various
lines and promises to make your buy
ing with them worth your while.
The American people are expecting
to be asked fer their business in this
day and generation and The Thompson
Jewelry & Music company wants to
feel that 1t has done all it can to
make the public feel that it wants
their patronage.

few minutes he went into the house

Transportation to Stock Shippers
Seriously CurtaiIed.

Transportation to Stock Shippers
Seriously curtaiIed.
There is an unpleasant surprise in
store for the live stock men of Mon
tana. They will receive no more free
transportation from the railroads. AS
in the past persons who ship one car
of stock may have transportation one
way and both ways, If more than one
car is shipped, but stockmen cannot
be given transportation unless they
do ship. Many Of them in the past
have been given passes merely for
the business they would furnish in the
course of year.
The roads are restrained from Civ.
ing any more passes by the Elkins
law passed at the recent session of
congress. Many shippers are not yet
aware of the change. but will be in
formed as soon as they apply for trans
portation. The ruling is strictly in
regard to business with stock ship
pers and the recipient, as well as the
giver, is guilty of misdemeanor.
Concerning the matter the Omaha
Drover Journal Stockman says:
STOCK shippers bringing in con-
signments are often at loss to under
stand why the roads of which they
are patrons do not grant them favors
in the way of transportation, as has
been their custom in the past and ag-
ents spend great deal of time ex-
planning the position they have been
placed In by the new Elkins law. This
law Is too plain to be misinterpreted
and prohibits roads granting favors
of any kind to patrons. Its purpose
is to further regulate commerce with
foreign nations. and among the
states II puts an end to rebates.
concessions and determinations. its
object being to place all railroads and
patrons of railroads on an equal foot
ing.
Its application to the livestock in
dustry is at once apparent. BY pro-
hibiting discrimination or granting of
favors to patrons with a view of in.
fluencing or soliciting business. 1t cuts
down on the amount of free transpor-
tation which has heretofore been Civ
en- to shippers. The change has been
brought to the attention of stockmen
in most cases in instances of parties
bringing in one car of stock. In times
past these shippers frequently receiv-
ed return transportation. The new
law provides for the transportation
to and from the market of shippers
with two loads and in cases of one
car shipments consignor cannot be
carried back free of charge. The line
Is sharply drawn and there 1t stands. y

Fergus County argus., 1903-04-08

As was anticipated by those who
know how to figure on an election,
the Socialists were completely snow
ed under in the city election held
Monday. Not a solitary member of
the so-called Citizens ticket" which
in reality was the Socialistic ticl.s st
won out on the final count Of ite bal.
lots.
Even in the second ward, Where they
were absolutely positive ~ sweeping
things, and where the'5 had one of
their strongest men IN for alderman,
they lost out. 1t gas bv the narrow
margin Oh one ote, but so far as pro-
noting the ,rogress and welfare of

Although Regan carried on a very
active campaign from the time of his
nomination to the closing OF the
polls, he was ingloriously downed by
Eldridge, who will occupy the may
orally chair with credit to himself
and honor and profit to the city for
the next two years. A majority OF "a
out of a vote of $40 made it almost
a one man race.
For city treasurer Gordon Shafer
had no trouble in coming under the
wire a winner over Jack kearney.
The latter's friends made a strong pull
for him, but Gordon's popularity with
all classes and the fact that he was
on the best ticket made the difference
which was 81 votes.
F. F. MacGowan will continue to
deal out justice to the offenders
against the peace and dignity of the
city. Just the same as If William
Wunderlin had never tried for the

few left over.
Joe Norman, who consented to be
sacrificed in the first ward, Is prob
ably feeling considerably like the boy

say. He lacked about six and one
half votes getting one-half the num-
ber of votes received by his competi-
tor, Walter Smith.
AS stated above. the Socialists fall
ed in what was their strongest hope,
the second ward. The result so upset
Jack Hughes that he stopped work
yesterday and went fishing, hoping to
find surcease from the bitter pangs
of disappointment by angling for the
playful trout.
Barney Mcdonald worked like a
Trojan for election in the third ward,
but failed by just seven votes, that
being N. ]. Littlejohn's majority.
