A CARD OF
And An Announcement

Brookiugs, :. D.. June 18th, 1905.
To the six hundred and sixteen
friends who voted for me at the recent
Primary | wish TO extend my sincere
thanks and assure YOU your kindness
is fully appreciated. When one con-
siders that a large number of my
friends were sand bagged" ON one
side with the argument Vote for OF
Barge may VIM and on the other side
With the argument Vote for Barge,
Reeves cannot win" and the further
delusive impression spread broadcast
from the partisan headquarters and
the newspapers Of the county that /
was an independent candidate, it APP
pears to me that the result of the vote
clearly indicates that | am the choice
Of the republican voters of this county
for County Auditor. Believing this to
be true, and at the urgent and per-
sistent request of many friends who
bNlltNt llh' l~', dll'I 'lll' N'll~l'l'lN
ton ! have concluded to stand as an
independent Republican candidate for
the Oaica of County Auditor Of Brook
ings County and hereby announce my
self as such.
In arriving at the conclusion to stand
independently | have not overlooked
the argument the opposition viii use.
that because | have"entered the Pri-
mary and was beaten that | should
abide by that vote. In answer to this
objection | Will say that | was not
fairly beaten, and neither the press
the point, because they have all main
tanned | was running Independently.
| also fully realize the stigma and pre-
iudice that would be turned against
a man running independently in a
community where two political parties
of about equal strength We're contend
ing for the supremacy, and a man of
one party would run independently
against a regularly nominated candi-
date and thereby throw the Office to
an opposing political party, The force
OF this argument is entirely lost here
as the polls show there are not enough
opposing party votes to take this of
fee from the Republicans with two
candidates running on the Republican
ticket. If Mr.. Bitterness has beaten me
once fairly he can do so again, for he
now has the advantage of being on the
ballot as an independent Republican
candidate at the November election.
| again ask a free investigation as to
my merits and ability for this office
and ask for the support of teh people Of
this county, | wish further to call your
attention to the fact that he city of
Brookings is the residence of every Re-
publican candidate except the candi-
date for County Treasurer. Is such the
wish of the people? Record your an.
swer at the November election.
Yours Very Truly,
ID. w. Reeves,
Sterling Precinct.

SMALL NET CHANGES
Limited Sales Locally at
Slight Concessions.

The cotton contract market closed
yesterday at small net changes from
the last for Wednesday, The open
ing was 3 to 9 points higher than
the last figures for the day before,
but prices dropped for a time. A
rally took place, but in the afternoon
the market again sold off, the close
being around the lowest for the day
The aerly strength was Attributable
to the Presidents message, which
was well received in financial circles.
New York opened 4 to points up,
but soon lost nearly all of the adj
vance. Fluctuations were narrow and
continued throughout the session. The
close was l point net lower to 2
points higher for the day Spots
were unchanged New Orleans open
ed to 4 higher, ran off a few points,
then hrmed up. In the last few
minutes July lost points The close
was 1 lower for October, 1 higher for
July and higher for May as COM
pared with the last for Wednesday.
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened to points up,
which was not quite as good as due.
Some Improvement was made in the
old positions at the early afternoon
call. The close was denominated very
steady, to points above the last
for the day before. The market is
due 3 to 5 points down this morn
ing. Spots were quoted points
higher, the sales being 1000 bales.
In the local spot market limited sales
were made at small concessions from
quoted values, but little cotton was
offering. Quotations are unchanged
from Wednesday.

To Button Her Waist Behind

She stood before the glass, and she
tried with her might
To button her waist behind
The movements she went through
were surely a sight,
To button her waist behind
She would reach and she'd tug, she
would sigh and she'd groan,
And after each effort she'd let out a
moan,
She twisted and squirmed, till she
strained every bone,
To button her waist behind.
She would take a long breath, and
then stand on her toes
To button her waist behind !;
She strained, at the risk of ripping
her clothes,
To button her waist behind.
She had contortionist beaten a mile !;
She would bend like a jack-knife,
then straighten awhile,
And wonder why nightmares like
that were in style
The waist that buttons be-
For an hour she labored in widest
despair
To button her waist behind;
Her face became red, and all loosened
her hair,
To button her waist behind.
She wept, and the tears splashed
down in her lap,
While for life and its pleasures she
cared not rap,
And when she went to the Office a
hideous gap
Was there in her waist be-

JUDGE. OFFERED
GUN FOR SUICIDE

BELLEVILLE, ILL, March &c.
(SpeciaD Handing a revolver to
Ewald Seifert, a defendant in his
court today, Justice Wangelit said:
Here, kill yourself with this.
It's cheaper than carbolic acid"
Court was in session, the judge
was on the bench. Siefert had just
been fined So for celebrating st.
Patricks day in Belleville and had
threatened to kill himself.
He took the revolver from the
judges hand and pressed the muzzle
against his temple He tried to pull
the trigger; there was a click.
I'm so nervous l can't Shoot" said
Siefert. Somebody please pull the
trigger for me-
There were no volunteers. Turn
ing to one of the spectators, Siefert
handed him dime and said: GO out
and get me some carbolic acid"
While he waited he tried again
to pull the trigger. The man came
back with the bottle. Siefert eagerly
grasped it and drained its contents.
He did not drop dead.
That's funny" he said.
When they told him he had drank
castor oil he cried: THAT was mean
trick
He paid his fine, but he insisted on
going back to the police station with
Chief of Police Nebgen. On the way
he begged the chief to buy carbolic
acid for him. eff you do I'll kill
myself and will you all of my proper
ty"
The chief declined the offer despite
the fact that Siefert is a prosperous
farmer whose wealth is estimated at
100000.

CHOICE OF CLOTHES
TO TAKE ON VISIT
MOmentOuS Question for
Girls This Summer.
Correspondence Times-Recorder.)

Correspondence Times-Recorder.)
NEW YORK, March 26.-The ques-
lions that arise in the choice of
clothes are almost momentous for
the girl who goes visiting, momentous
to her at least, and many are the
hours she will spend in solving the
problem; therefore a few hints
from what other girls are doing may
not come amiss.
The The girl of whose wardrobe l
shall now tell you, was about to Wis
it her fiance's mother, and of
course, dinner, a reception, party
she knew would be given her as an
introduction to the friends who would
shortly be her friends ALSO
The travelling costume consisted of
a plated skirt and box coat The
skirt was a graceful design in purple
broadclOth trimmed in black silk
radium braid below knee depth The
many cores in this skirt were very
narrow at the top and fitted smooth
ly over the hips, fiaring towards the
lower edge. The front and back
cores though also narrow, are laid
in close plaits and are stitched for a
considerable distance below the
hips. The skirts should be in clear
ing length and measures at the
lower edge with the pfaits 6awn
out, about four yards and five-eights.
The coat had as its distinctive fea-
lures a Gibson fold, graduated in
width and quite narrow at the ends,
passes over each shoulder and ex-
tends a trifle over the top of the
sleeves. The coat was in twenty-four-
inch length. The sleeves were in
regulation coat sleeve style finished
with a reversed cuffs trimmed as the
skirt with radium braid and the
Gibson fold and shawl collar were
decorated in the same manner.

RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION
A Simple Way to Prevent and Cure
Stomach Trouble

The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness should eat slowly
and chew the food thoroughly.
But as the majority of people have
already so abused the delicate stom-
ach that they suffer with distress af-
ter eating, f1atulence, headaches, coat
ed tongue, spots before the eyes and
the many other symptoms of indiges-
ton, it is necessary for them to use
Mona, the only remedy that will
strengthen the muscular walls of the
stomach and increase the flow of gas
trio juices so that indigestion will
be cured.
Mona puts the whole digestive
system in such shape that it can
care for all the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.

Fashion Dictates.

"Since semi-precious stones have be-
come so extremely fashionable, .
writes Grace Margaret Gould, the
fashion editor of the April Woman's
Home Companion, women depend a
great deal on jewelry as the finishing
touch to their costume. OF course, we
all know that an abundance of cheap
jewelry is in the worst possible taste,
and no woman of refinement would so
bedeck herself. But to wear a necklet
of fine gold or platinum chain, artistic
and unusual, finished with a flower
shape pendant made of baroque
pearls and white or green metal, set
with tiny diamonds, is in perfect taste
if it is in harmony with the type of
gown with which it is worn.

What is a cold in the head? Moth
ing to worry about if you treat it
