A DOLL
PRINCESS
TO BE GIVEN AWAY.
Have You Seen This Queen Of
Dolls?

IF NOT, don't fail to give her call before
L her reception days are over. To see heris
to want her,a she is yours for the guessing.
This little Princess Titania La Paulina DeBazan
becoming tired of high society and life in
foreign land, left her home and came across the
ocean deep to seek new home in this great
and progressive country and having heard of
the store of A. G. Seavey & Sons far and wide,
telegraphed us on her arrival in New York
City that she would stay with us until she Sc
lected her permanent home and here she is.
Now, to honor this little Princess and to
repay the crowd for coming to see her, we will
give you the opportunity of carrying her home
with you on Christmas eve, if you can guess
nearest the number of miles she has travelled in
coming to our store. She kept record of her
mileage as travelled, and in h;r hand she holds
an envelope, which contains the exact number,
which is between 5000 and 1900 miles. This
envelope is sealed with and stamped and
the window locked, the key being in our vault,
which goes without saying that no one will have
an opportunity of getting on to the "combina-
tion."
To every purchaser of SOC. worth of toys,
which have been marked below cost to close
out the stock, or the purchaser of $3.50 in the
dry goods department, fancy goods department
or in Christmas goods, will be given guess,
which will be recorded, and on the eve of
Christmas the envelope will be opened by Miss
Fannie Maxwell and the name of the lucky
one announced.
Trade has never been better and all classes
of goods are going like a fash-in fact we are
having hard time keeping ahead of the de-
mand of our fast growing trade Goods come
in on one train and we have to rec order on the
next mail out. Every department, is doing its
best to fill orders right on time and new men
are being added at all times to keep abreast
with the increase in the trade We have the
stock, which is fresh and good, and being re-
newed all the time. We do not have to place
any dead stock or over purchases on sale on
bargain days, for we watch the buying of all our
goods and are careful in the selection of stocks,
and what's more and the best part of the story
is, we mark at reasonable prices. We have the
best mail order connections in the town, and
when you want anything special ring up 26 and
we guarantee to fill your wants in short order.
Call and see Dolly and make a guess for this
beautiful Christmas gift for one of your little
ones, and you will get glimpse of the best
trading place in town.
Remember, our store closes on Christmas
eve and will not reopen until Monday morning,
the 18th.

A New Law Firm.

Mr.. Fred West, who for some
time past has acceptably filed
the important position of deputy
insurance commissioner under
Capt. Cole, has decided to re-
turn to the practice of law and
will therefore tender his resig-
nation to take effect in January.
Mr.. West is young gentleman
of fine talents, and practiced for
two years before coming here.
He has formed partnership with
Mr.. G. G. Lyell, of Brookhaven,
one of the brightest young law
yers of South Mississippi, who
will move to Jackson about the
first of the new year, and the two
will open an office. -Clar on

Brookhaven notes this item with
regret, as far as it concerns Mr..
LyelPs removal. He has been,
ever since his location here, sew
eral years ago, one of our most
valued citizens and gifted mem
bers of the bar. That he will take
with him to his new home the I'M
divided good wishes of our peo-
pie goes without saying. May
success, commensurate with his
worth and talents, attend him.

COnundrums Answered and IMAM

4 Something like the following

is that it,"
Eyes, you are good at conun-
drums. But let me give. you an
other:
"Why do employers subject
these frail breadwinners to such
hardships?"
1T is beyond me. Not even
motives of economy would seem
to warrant 1T, for warm, comfort
able, contented employees will do
far more and better work than
those half-crazed with tortures
such as you have enumerated.
Perhaps these employers, so
careless of the comfort of their
employees, regard the working
woman as being made of much
tougher material than their wives
and daughters, but that is erro-
neous, for often the smartest and
most energetic women are very
frail physically, and woman is a
woman the world over, whether
she is rich or poor, whether her
portion be luxurious ease, or
whether she be compelled by
daily labor to earn her bread.

SUICIDE INSURANCE CLAUSE.

Committee on Insurance Decides to
Amend the Bill Recommending a
One Year Limit Of Exemption in
Case Of Suicide.
The senate committee on insurance
yesterday afternoon discussed the
Lewis bill, which provided that suicide
should not be a defense under any cir
cumstances for a life insurance COM
pany to resist the payment of a claim.
unless it was shown that the insured
contemplated suicide at the time the
policy was taken out. After consider
ing the matter and hearing the argu-
ments that were advanced pro and con
the committee decided to recommend
an amendment to the bill, providing
that suicide shall not be a defense
against the payment of the policy after
n rear from the date of the policy,
and will recommend it to pass as so
amended. 1t was argued before the
committee hat Missouri is the only
state in the union which has uhe fiat
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. clause in it's law.
Several of the old line companies have
withdrawn from the state for that rea-
son. 1t was further argued that in
case a policy holder took out a policy
with the intention of committing sui
eide, that intention would be difficult
pf nrpO" and thjS feature of the law
would mean that the companies would
have to pay in every case of suicide.
The most Of the old line companies
now have the n year clause in their

SHOOTING AT M'HENRY.

Deputy Sheriff WilIoughby. Who is
Taken to Fargo for Treatment.
There was a fatal shooting affray at

named Mclaughlin, a brother to DR..
MLaughlin of McHenry, became in
volved in some difficulty with a man
who was known as a blind bigger, VINO
49, been conducting a resort Of some
kind in the village. The blindpigger
went out of the place and, within a few
minutes. returned with a rifle and was
in the act of leveling it at the younger
Mclaughlin, when Mr.. Willoughby
rushed between the men and struck the
rife barrel into the air SO that the bull
let ven into the air. When Dr.. Nc
Laughlin saw the blindpigger level the
rifle at his brother, he drew his re-
volver and shot at the blindpigger, but
his bullet struck Mr.. Willoughby. He
then fired another shot in quick Or
der. which killed the blindpigger.
DR.. Mclaughlin Immediately set to
work giving aid to Mr.. Willoughby
and through his efforts. coupled with
that of General Agent Moulder, a spe-
cial train was secured for the Fargo
doctors to hurry to the seem The
general sentiment appears to be that
the shooting Of the blindpigger was
justifiable. but the injuries of Mr.. VIII
loughb are to be greatly deplored. DR.

With practically all Of the Republican

the opposition, for no apparently good
reason. Esteem for the high position
which the venerable Senator from

protect him against unfair criticism at
this time, but certainly he owes bet

Post Office Oficials Seem to Think Mail
Carriers Will Win Fight for More Pay.
1t is evident from the discussion al
ready had ia congress, ard from the
attitude of the postofice department
officials, that the suggestion for in
creased pay for rural free delivery
carriers will meet with favor. 1t is
represented that the present pay for
the carriers is not enough for their
support, and that they are actually
worse of than they were two years
ago. AT that time they had enoug d
money to furnish the wagons and
horses needed to make the trips, out it
is declared that this equipment is
about worn out, and the salary is not
large enough to enable the men to put
money by for the purchase of new out
fits. The threat Of the postmaster
general to do away with the express
business conducted on the side by the
carriers also is the cause of vigorous
protest. The intimation is clear that
unless the pay is increased the govern
ment must abandon routes in many
sections of the country.
