Breteuil and her sister, Lady William

charming Garner girls made a deal
in this city today in connection with
cotton print goods that may it was
said, revolutionize the industry i'll this
country.
To a syndicate of southern and east
eTn cotton mill owners they sold the
vast cotton print goods manufactures
in the northern part of this state
which they inherited from their father.

yoke Of the big trust in the New Eng

materially the price of their goods to

tariff which the cotton print goods
ring was credited with having induced
Senator Aldrich to force through con-

their mills which employ about 10000
hands was not disclosed officially. 1t
was said to have been in he neighbor-

FARMERS KICK REACTS
Harness Maker Offers Better Trade
in Corn Than When "Old
Time" Prices Prevailed.

Vermillion, S. D., Nov. ii. E.
Hirt, a local harness dealer, turned a
price kick on a farmer who protested
that he had formerly bought for SS5
the same quality harness Mr.. Hirt
was now asking Sl5 for.
Mr.. Hirt investigated, and his books
showed that S35 set of harness had
been sold for 800 bushels of corn, so
he told the farmer that he would
bring him in the same amount of corn
now as had been paid those several
years ago he would give him dou-
BILE harness, a single harness, saddle,
set of blankets, buggy top, curry
comb, brush and $40 in money.
The farmer hadn't thought of such
a thing, and he admitted that the oc-
currence was a horse on him.
