At the New York Carriage Exposition

The largest harness manufacturers in the United
States show their hemlock harness.
The best makers of oak-harness are there also,
but their trade is mostly limited to city dealers,
as their harness costs SO much more wholesale
than the hemlock on which much larger profit
is made.
Notwithstanding the smaller margins sell
the oalx-tanned goods at prices nearly the same
as you'll pay fer the hemlock article, and get
only about half the wear out of it.
also carry full line of the henalock harness
equal to any sold, at prices hard to duplicate
anywhere
Representative men, the foremost OF our coun-
try, are using my oak-tanned harness and rec
ommending it to others.
A pleasure to show the goods see them before

Gregory, S. D., Nov. Especial to
The News: Reliable information re-
Gently received by parties in Gregory

chosen as one of the principal regis

news is no surprise to the citizens of
the town as it is generally known that
the facilities and capacity of the town
for properly caring for the immense
crowds which will come in during the
opening are superior to those of any
other town in this part of the state.
This fact is recognized by thousands
of people over the country, including
officials at Washington, d. c., who
have visited Gregory during the past
year and have gone away shouting
the praises of this thriving and rapid
ly growing city.
Gregory is only five miles from the
Trip county line and is the largest
and most important town in Gregory
county. The town is only three years
old and now has about 1000 inhab-
itants. 1t is noted for the good order
and obedience to law that have al
ways been maintained. Shooting af-

ally supposed to be necessary Incl
dents in the life of new and rapidly
growing community have been entire

ing one of the best waterworks sys.
TENS in the state and there is an
abundant supply of pure soft water at
hand. The hotel and lodging accom-
modations are exceptionally fine, equal
to any in this part of South Dakota.
These things have been recognized
and talked about by visitors who have
come and gone heretofore and has
given Gregory a widespread reputa.
ton, not only as a progressive, but
also as a peaceful and law abiding

TWO HANGINGs; THREE MONTHS
Nebraska Sentimentallsts Trying to
Prevent Executions,

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 13.-Unless their
attorneys can find some other method
of delay, two men will be executed at
the state penitentiary for murder with
in the next three months. The SUI
preme court has set the execution of
Harrison Clarke, who killed South
Omaha street car conductor, while
bent on robbery, for December 10. and
Frank Barker, who killed his brother
and the latters wife so that he might
have enough to get married on him
self, is to die on January II.
These will be the first legal hang
ings in the state for over two years,
although murders have not been few
during that period. Sentimentalists
have been busy trying to prevent the
hanging of either of the men, and
Barker's case may go before the SUI
preme court again.
A recent publication discloses the
fact that the average term for life
murderers in the Nebraska peniten-
tiary is little more than seven years
pardons and combinations making the
designation a misnomer.

NEW MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE
MEDICINE IN JlNGLlNo BOTTLES
DOES NOT LOOK GOOD.
NOT REAL COIN OF THE REALM
In These Days When Wampum, Coon
Skins and Glass Beads Are Used as
Currency, kurpseweit Balks on Pat
ent Medicines.

Is patent medicine illegal tender
even in days of an eastern money
stringency?
Because Paul Luebcke paid for Her
man Kurpgeweit's COW with patent
medicine Kurpgeweit wants to call
the law down on Luebckes head.
Dropping the COW incident for the
moment Kurpgeweit through the coun-
ty attorneys Office has had Luebcke
brought into Justice Lambert's court
on the charge of peddling patent med
icine without license.
Paul Luebcke, who by the way spent
the summer in Europe, sells patent
medicine for a house in Minnesota.
He says his firm will back him in the
fight on the ground that interstate
commerce is interfered with when the
county demands SIS peddling IL
cense. On this plea Luebcke has had
the case continued until a week from
next Saturday.
The issue that the county attorney
may raise is that Luebcke buys the
IntulClue lTOm lue house anu SELLS Ou
his own account. Anyway Madison
county may have test case on the
license question.
The COW, however, which is really
back of all the having, won't enter
into the evidence at all-not in this
case.
Meanwhile Luebcke has the COW and
he seems to have a legal claim on the
animal. He bought the bovine for
$25 1t was when he came to pay for
the COW that the rub appeared.
Herman Kurpgeweit lives near
Meadow Grove. He says he was un
able to adequately express his feelings
when Luebcke came and paid for the
COW in patent medicine. 1t was 9
beautiful and varied array of bottles
that Luebcke left behind. Kurpge
welt doesn't understand asset curren
cy and cashiers checks have no ter
rors for him, but those bottles neither
looked nor rang like the coin of the
land. And there was some $40 wortl
of them.
Vowing vengeance Kurpgewei
sought the county attorneys office.

PHONE SYSTEM FOR DALLAS.
Enough Subscribers Were Secured In
Very Short Time,

Dallas. s. d., Nov. Especial to
The News: Burl II. Martin, solicitor
for the Gregory County Interstate Tel
ephone company, is here securing the
necessary subscribers to install local
drop system telephone exchange.
Mr.. Martin began work yesterday,
and announced that 1t woulf be nee
essary to secure forty local subscrib-
ers in order to justify the company In
installing the exchange. At the end
of the first days soliciting he had Sc
cured thirty-five, and at this writing
he has over fifty contracts and the
number is steadily increasing without
further effort on his part. Needless
to say the exchange will be installed
at once, the only change in the plans
being that a much larger switchboard
will be installed than was at first in
tended.
The entire system will be of the
very best, with complete metallic cir
cult, and give patrons first-class local
and long distance connection.

LOST AND FOUND HIS COW.

w. n. Brakeman Found Animal Chew
Ing Cud In Strange Place.
w. H. Brakeman lost his COW. He
didn't know the cow was lost until he
sent to pasture for the bessie animal
Then he discovered the fact.
Naturally Mr.. Brakeman decided not
to waste his time hunting over the
fields and dales of northern Nebraska
for the missing COW. That would be
a pretty difficult job. He did the sim
plest thing-went to The News want
columns. And, naturally enough also
he found the COW.
The COW was right there on the want
ad. page of The News, chewing her
cud. Where else would she be? M
l.. Ogden had taken up stray COW
and that was it. Or, rather, that was
she.
And there the drama ended.

the field to save their crop. Husking
is nearly finished in these parts and a
bumper crop is reported on every
hand. Northeastern Nebraska raised
the best crop this year that has ever
been known in the history Of the old

Last Chapter.

Last Chapter.
A broken arm is the latest misfor-
tune to beset Mrs. August Haase, for
whom the last year or two has written
long chapters of i'll luck and bereave-
ment.
Mrs. Haase's right arm was broken
as the result of fall in her own home
three miles north of the city.
A little more than a year ago Aug
ust Haase was run down by a train
opposite his own farm.
Following shortly after the death of
the father two little children were
suddenly taken sick and died within
a short time of each other.
Last summer barn of Mrs. Haase's
farm was burned by lightning. A half
dozen calves were lost in the fire.
Now a broken arm is the latest
chapter to be written in a story OF
death, sickness and loss by fire.

Mrs. George Coleman, once Frances
Gordon and for many years a colored
resident of Norfolk, is on the trail of
bequest of from $4,000 to $4,000
Mrs. Coleman now lives in Sioux Falls,
S. d. The money to which she is sup
posed to have fallen heir is reputed
to have been left her by friend who
recently died in Holland.
Mrs. Coleman was made acquainted
with her probable inheritance as a
result of the newspapers of South
Dakota being asked to ascertain the
whereabouts of one Frances Gordon,
folk for South Dakota. The notice told
that the Frances Gordon in question
had fallen heir to from $500 to $4,000.
Mrs. Coleman was in Norfolk last

money at the time of her visit in this

Mrs. Coleman and her husband are
