Tho county court this morning
made an order requi ring that al
saloon petitions in future mus
have the signatures OF two-third:
OF the tax-paying citizens of the
town or township where the saloon
is to be located. Heretofore only
a majority has been required. A
license will cost St200per annum.
The following from my old
friend, Aug. Rieke, is of sufficient
interest to print, l therefore take
that liberty, hoping that the Nord
Deutscher Lloyd may bring him
safely home before the snow flies,
and that he will conclude, after all,
that this is a pretty good country
and fully entitled to be proudly
called "The Land of the Free:''
"We have still winter weather, so
you might call it, as | have my
winter overcoat on. l just wish
you and VIM. Taunernicht were
with me. l bet you would call it
a Paradise. You | am sure would
say, 'Reike, we are in the land of
the free; let us remain here!' And
it is so, Mr.. AXE. 1t is a beautiful
country. Saloons and summer
gardens are open; concerts by
military bands: A glass of beer,
z IL cents; a pint bottle, 5 cents;
no revenue to it. All Lutherans
here; the preachers and school
teachers go and sit in saloons and
play cards. | told some how it
was in America, the land of the
free, where the men who don't
drink beer-though some of them
will drink if some one sets them
up-don't want to let anyone else
drink it. They told me you must
have some hypocrites over there
who don't know the Bible Well,
| was with my neice, Mrs Herman
Lange, in the city of Hanover, on
the 18th. 1t is only three English
miles from here. All the cities
and villages here are so improved,
[ hardly knew them. Farming
goes very slow on account of so
much rain and cold weather.
Other years by the middle of
september, everything is in, but
it will be the 1st of October before
everything is harvested - that
means grain. Then come the
sugar beets and potatoes, which
are green yet. My nephew has
10 hired hands. One Schwitzer
attends to the cows-does nothing
else. Feeds, milks and curries
them every day. All are stabbed.
The farm also employs 3 Polnish
girls, 3 house girls, including cook
and 3 hired men. There are 10
horses; the least weighing 1850.
The owner has his own threshing
machine, and electric lights in
stables and house. Also drives
the t%hreshing machine with cleo
trio power. I'll tell you, yourself
and Trauernicht would have some
thing to tell if you were here, when
you returned to your country
where is nothing but tyranny,
when it should be the land of the
free. | thought | would 60 to sea
on my return October list, but when
| wrote to Nord Deutscher Lloyd,
they notified me that everything
was engaged up to October 18th,
But | think my nephew has been
writing, because they do not want
to let me go yet. So good-by!
Best regards to your family and
the little fellow"

of the local option election:

The Lopez Store Co.'s Millinery
Opening last Saturday was salts
factory from every point of view:
great attendance, elegant display,
and large sales. The windows
were tastefully and richly dressed.
I can't give details, but they were
pleasing to the eye, and attracted
the attention of all who came or
passed along the street. Ofcourse,
[ don't know much about bonnets
and skirts and waists and such
like things, and therefore | can
only speak of them at second
hand. The ladies were loud in
praise of the display, and their
judgment | transmit to the reader.
The souvenirs-decorated china
or something--were fine, and free
ly distributed. The Fall and
Winter Opening was a success.
The series of lectures by Fathers
Randall of st. Louis and Peschges
of Minneapolis closed last Sunday
evening. Large audiences greeted
the Fathers every night, but even
standing room was at a premium
Sunday evening. Every lecture
was full of interest and all the
subjects were intelligently and
ably discussed. The "question-
box" was an interesting feature,
though some of the queries lacked
the ingredients of good sense and
courtesy. One: "Do you your
self, believe all you say?" was
not only discourteous but very
foolish. However, the best of
feeling prevailed among the listen
ers, and, what with the fine sing
ing, eloquest address, and fairness
of spirit, the course was a decided
success.

VIM. Stevenson is running an
independent telephone line from
here to Piedmont. Carwit Myers
is experimenting it. 1t viii be q
great help to us as the old line has
SO many phone boxes it was hard
to get service.

to get an iron wagon bridge across
Big Creek at Des Arc. Now we will
never get it. 1t will take all
the surplus money to pay the
whiskey murder cases Wayne
County never had an iron bridge
until it went dry now it has three.
Every fellow should have voted
"dry" to save his boys. Our
town was ''dry," but the county
folk all voted SWEET" One thing
that hurt US, was, the tickets were
SO complicated that a good many
made a mistake, and it can be
proven that they scratched the
wrong line or both. | know some
men that intended voting ''dry,"
but voted "wet," and some that
intended voting "wet" voted
''dry." The ticket should have
read "yes" or ''no" or "wet'' or
"dry," then the people would have
understood it better.

Sheriff Marshall returned from
Oklahoma Monday evening hav-
ing in charge Anderson Rust, inn
plicated in the killing of Douglass
Newman some two months ago.
1 understand that he pleads that
the homicide was an accident. The
prisoner vas placed in jail to await
t h preliminary examination
which is set for Thursday, Octo-
Der 18th.
The result of the local option
was about as great a surprise as
any election in the county ever
afforded. The "dry" side claimed
it all from the start and most peo-
pie seemed to think it was going
that way But it didn't. And that
leads us to remark: the result of
an election, the verdict of a jury,
and a woman's within, you can
never foretell. We are glad to say
that the bitterness which too often
charterizes campaigns of this kind
was conspicuous by its absence.

There was a lively family
"rukus" in the west end of town
last Friday evening. The wife
had gone visiting and did not re-
turn in reasonable time, according
to the notion of her liege lord and
master. When she did put in an
appearance he attempted to eject
her from the yard, but, according
to my informant, the weaker yes
sci was a match for him. She
hurled a bucket of milk upon him,
following it with other missiles.
Whilethe combatants were in action
their tongues were not held in abey-
ance, and the surrounding air was
punctured with cuss and other
words loud and shrill and deep. /
don't know just how the fracas
ended, but after so long a time
silence again reigned and the dove
of peace folded her wings and set
tied down upon the domicile.
A couple of weeks ago we asked
the question as to what the decision
would be in the matter of revoca-
ton Of Prof. Daugherty's certif-
cate, and while we have never ex-
pressed an opinion in the matter
of the specific charge while pend
ing and dom care to go on record
as taking any stock whatever in
the contentious in the neighboring
town of Piedmont, still we do feel
at liberty to say that Commissions
or Clubb's decision vindicating
Prof. Daugherty was not surprise.
AS the matter was presented, it
was all that was left to be done.
1t is a common thing to hear Of
a citizen being guilty of some
great criminal or moral wrong,
but how often do we find it that
the accusation is based upon ru-
mors and not facts. Sentimental
statements have much to do in in
juring q neighbours reputation,
and nothing to do in protecting
our own happiness Wayne County
Journal.
Last Saturday was a notable day
in the annals Of Middlebrook: it
witnessed the removal of an old
Landmark, the T%rauernicht tailor
shop, to Bismarck--not exactly
the shop itself, but all that gave it
character and local standing. But
the goods, the curios, the appli-
ances, the tailors, the "boss'--all
have gone and are newly domicil-
ed at the Junction City. There
hereafter those who desire the
services Of Mr.. Trauernicht will
find him, none the less first-class
workman and honest tradesman
because Of the removal. In fact,
with increased facilities, he pro-
poses to further extend his services
to the public and his patrons may
rest assured that he will render
them the satisfaction that has al
ways been a marked feature in
their dealings. Up-to-date goods,
style and finish will still be the
rule, and he will not cease to an
swer the calls of his patrons up
and down the road.
