in Minneapolis on his way back to
North Dakota where he intended going
into the hotel business. At the hotel
he met two men who soon learned that
he had the money, and they enticed
him into the railroad yards and got
him to display his wealth. They then
choked him and took his money away

If the leaf of a cigar has a greasy

or is of pale sickly yellow, the wrap
per is made of inferior tobacco.
Many believe that cigars marked
with light spots are indicators of pre-

tacks only good leaf, but, as matter
of fact, these spots are due to the
combined action Of the sun anu rain.

PLANK ED SHAO.
Makes Speakers Brilliant at Feast at

When Fish Commissioner George M.
Bowers took his party of friends
down the Potomac to organs Point to
assist him in the testing Of the plank
ed shad there it WIS supposed that
they would have a good time. And
they did Though il was known that
there were some good after-dinner
speakers in the party it was not known
that planked shad was conducive to
brilliancy until what was said was
made known in Ma,tinsburg by one
who was present and who could not
resist the temptation to take notes.
We reproduce his report:
Col S. w. Walker acted as toast
master Col. King said that he thought
more of the republican party than ever
before. w f. Mulis only wanted a
chance TO come back. Senator Silver
said that no language could describe
his feelings. A. C.. Nadenbousch said
that language was not strong enough
to give expression TO his feelings.
Col. Walker said that each man dis
posed of seven bottles and four shad.

this audience has never thought OF
and it is this that there would be no
