Our Progressive Advertisers.

Our merchants demand a large
amount of our space this week, with
their announcements, most of them
clearing sales. Without question the
most prominent among them is the
full page advertisement of X. l.
Haugen, which will be found on the
eighth page. 1t is the announcement
of his annual white goods sale, and is
embellished with some of the finest
illustrations we have ever seen made
for this purpose Readers will do
we'll to read the adv. carefully and
note the excellent values offered Mr..
Haugen is one Of our best advertisers
and most progressive merchants, and
we can conscientiously assure our
readers that the statements i'll his adj
vertisements are backed up to the let
ter III his store.
Ben Bear occupies half page in an
nouncing his annual clearing sale and
quotes some prices that seem almost
incredulOus, but when one visits his
store he finds he is dealt with even
better than the advertisements state.
Mott d Co have also been setting
the pace the past year for progressive
ness, and with a half rage announce
the continuance of their clearing sale,
and it means that their store is still
filled with a choice line of dry goods
which is selling at greatly reduced
prices
Jno. @. Hexom, the wide awake
shoe man, does some slashing of prices
that means great bargains in the shoe
line at his store.
Other new advs are the Cas- Kola
Medicine Co., who will have repre-
sentative at Brunt & Parman's the
next six weeks. Iver Larsen, Brunt
& Parman. Wangler Bros, Winnie
sheik Co. Bank, etc. Read them all.

Change in Business Firm,

The deal was recently closed where
by Mr.. E. o. Hokaasen purchased the
interest of his partner o. G. Arneson
in the DEBORAH Marble Works, and
hereafter will be sole proprietor On
account of i'll health Mr. Arneson re-,
tires from active business. Mr. Ho-
kaasen is known as reliable marble
man through his long business career
here, and doubtless will be accorded
the same liberal patronage which the
firm has enjoyed in the past.

Sale Was Not Contaminated.

In last weeks issue we reported the
sale of the grocery store of Fl. j.
Hutchinson to William Linnevold.
During the week the inventory of the
stock was taken, and upon finding
that the stock was larger one than
he cared to purchase, Mr.. Linnevold
did not conclude the deal, so Mr.
Hutchinson will continue the business
as heretofore. He has always done a
large grocery and crockery business,
and will doubtless continue to do So

Excuse Us, Please, This Time.

We're in a pretty pickle this week,
and our readers are lucky to get a
paper at all. job work has been pour
ing in on US the past few days to beat
the band, and on its heels came an
extra large demand for advertising
space. Again on Monday morning
our typesetting machine operator, A.
A. Hanson, received telegram bring
ing the sad news of the death of his
brother at Estherville, which called
him away from his work. AS a re-
salt the editor has been operator,
devil, editor, compositor, chore boy,
bouncer, and what not to such an ex-
tent that he has with much difficulty
been able to tell where he is at. In
consequence of the rush above re.
ferred to, coupled with the addition
of the proceedings to the board of
supervisors and the city council, we
have been compelled to omit many
items of interest that we had expected
to print this week.

THE DOCTOR AND HIS DOGS.
written for rur TRrprxn,

Written for THR TRrBrNEl
The doctor has pack of dogs
All of the greyhound brand.
And every time one passes 10y
They howl to beat the band
The good man feeds them eveey day
And keeps them from the wet,
But what he keeps them for. God knows,
No mortal knoweth yet
They whine and yelp, they snarl and growl
And seem To never tire;
The concert that they sometimes raise
Would make saint perspire.
When night comes on and gentle sleep
Assaif the haunts of men,
They raise their voices to the moon
And Bedlam reigns again
| hit one with brick one day,
He was a long tailed pup,
And all the other brutes jumped ON
And straightway ate him up
had gentle pussy once,
A model Of her kind
Those bloody greyhounds swallowed her
Nor left hair behind
This doctor now desires forsooth
To reach the mayors chair.
But while he keeps his hoodoo dogs
He never will get there.
Then let him dose them with his pills
And slay them everyone;
He may not hope for our support
Until the task is done

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Appropriations May Wait.

Deputy Auditor Daniels has COM
menced the classification Of appropria-
tions made by the last General Assem-
bly,. This shows that the total is ST.
290, 1851, but from this must be de-
Quoted about 100000 that was paid for
salaries and expenses out of the short
appropriation bill. This comes from
the general fund. From the internal
improvement there was appropriated
$122,000 by thirty-one road and bridge
bills.
Under this classification a number
of the appropriations are undoubtedly
doomed, because they are SO near the
bottom that only an unusual receipt of
of money by the state can provide for
them. Even funds to be devoted to
new buildings and improvements of
state institutions will not be available
for year, because the revenue is not
in sight.
cluded in the first class. This indicates
that the state institutions will receive
their allotments for maintenance only.
Not until the reports from counties are
received can the auditor apportion the
revenue. Then some of the building
appropriations may be available.
1t will also be impossible to draw on
all of the road and bridge funds at
present. The internal Improvement
fund, from which this money comes,
contains only $4,000 now. The income
will undoubtedly be sufficient, how
ever, to provide for all of them before
the end of the biennial period.
Following is the classification of the
appropriations, with the total for each
class.

tion, $4,000; short appropriation bill,
