BROWN ROBBED
AND SLUGGED
BRAKEMAN ROUGHLY HANDLED
AT ABERDEEN.
UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOURS
AND WANDERS ABOUT STREETS
IN A DAZED CONDITION.

w. j. Brown, Northwestern
brakeman between here and Redfield,
and whose home is in this city, was
slugged and robbed at Aberdeen on
Wednesday night of last week and
after being knocked unconscious his
assailant robbed him Of between ten
and fifteen dollars, all the money he
had on his person.
Mr.. Brown runs to Redf1eld Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays and
after completing his work on Wednes-
day night of last week he went to
Aberdeen with party of friends in
an automobile. He left his friends
near the North Western depot while
he went up town to make few pur-
chases, including a pair of shoes and
some wearing apparel He returned
shortly after nine o'clock to find his
friends and was looking for the auto
mobile to place in it his purchases
when the assault occurred. He had
that it was not the one belonging to
his party he passed on. Suddenly he
received a blow on the head and was
rendered unconscious and did not even
see his assailant.
How long he lay on the ground is
not known, but about four o'clock in
the morning he was found by a party
of well diggers wandering around in a
dazed condition. They took him to
by, and his wound was dressed and he
was taken to the hospital. 1t was
found that he had sustained deep cut
on the upper part of the forehead and
was badly bruised up. He returned
home that night and is able to walk
around this week. The wound is still
pretty sore and one eye is swollen
shut as a result of the bruise from
the blow. He states that he would
be unable to identify his assailant, as
it was dark and he did not even see
the bow coming. He considers him.
self lucky to escape without more SER
ious consequences as blow delivered
with the force that this one must have
been could easily have been fatal.
Just at this time of the year Aber-
deem is overrun with strangers, at
tracted there by the reports of the
immense amount of work to be had,
and it is likely one of these
fellows who committed the assault.
The Huronite in speaking of the as
sault on Mr.. Brown pays it's respects
to the Aberdeen police as follows:
"A prominent man, somewhat famil-
lar with our sister city of the hub"
remarked that it was not safe for
stranger to walk the streets of Aber-
deem after night. We cannot vouch
for the truthfulness of this statement,
but recall that there have been persis-
tent rumors that the policing of that
city was utterly inadequate. This is
probably true of every city in the
state, but, if statements of citizens
of the hub city are to be believed,
it is unfortunate in having a bunch
defective in vision, many eyes being
covered with silver scales"

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy Dr. Pierce's family medicineS-for all the ingredi- ents entering into them are printed on the bottle wrappers and their formulas are atteSted under oath as being complete and correct You know just what you are paying for and that the ingredients are gathered from Natures laboratory, being selected from the most valuable native medicinal roots found growing in our American forests and while potent to cure are perfectly harmless. even to the most delicate womeS> s1childTvS Not drop ai-alcohoL enters into their sSlUoSIIiaii.. < cf-5sFtsE asSGE $ :' Sssa Eask .

This agent possesses intrinsic medicfmT properties of it's own. being most valuable antiseptic and anti ferment, nutritive and soothing demul- cent.
 Glycerine plays an important part in Dr. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour riSingS, heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom- ach, biliousncss and kindred derange- mcntS of the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Besides curing all the above distressing ailments, the Golden Medical Discovery" is specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative stages it will yield to this sovereign rem edy if it's use be persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well, while taking the rGolden Medical Dis covery' for the necessary constitutional treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times day with Dr. Sagc'S Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatment generally cures the worst cases.
 In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron- chial. throat and lung affections. except con- sumption in its advanced stages the "Goiden Medical Discovery" is a most efficient rem edy, especially in those obstinate. hang on coughs caused by irritation and congestion of the bronchial mucous membranes The "Dis" covery is not so good for acute coughs aris- ing from sudden colds. nor must it be eX- pected to cure consumption in it's advanced stages-no medicine will do that-but for all the obstinate. chronic coughs. which. if neg Iccted or badly treated. lead up to consump- tion it is the best medicine that can be taken.

WE all know the man, the mere grip of whose hand puts new life and strength into us, and the wo . man whose brave, cherry smile amidst disappointment and trouble makes us ashamed to dispair and to give up. And why should we not resemble them? It is surely, better to be like a bright, cheer ful fire, at which our friends can warm and revive their dropping hearts, than like the proverbial wet blanket which can effectual- = ly put out the flame of love and hope.

IF you would increase your happiness and prolong your life, forget your neighbors' faults. Forget all the islander you ever heard. Forget the fault finding, and only remember the good points which make you fond of them. Forget all personal quar- rels or histories you may have heard by accident, and which, if repeated, would seem a thous- and times worse then they are. Blot out, as far as possible, all the disagreeableness of life; they will come, but will only grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of the acts of meanness, or, worse still, malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreea- ble from yesterday, start out with a clean sheet today, and write upon it sweet memory's sake only those things which are lovely and lovable.

THE Boone Banner, after a career of more than twenty years, has cashed out it's good will, etc., to The Harrison Times and the plant has been moved to Leslie, where new publica- ton will be launched. Harrison never was a three-paper town and the closing of the Banner shop cannot be taken as ca- lamity to Harrison as it will only enable the Times and the Re- publican to give the people more for the money. One good paper in a town is much better than two or three poor ones.

FEW of us stop to think of the sadness and heartaches which we meet every day, concealed in the breast, perhaps, of those we meet, but are there nevertheless A kindly word, cheerful "Good Morning" will certainly do more toward cheering some downcast mortal, than grunt, a tale of woe, or a aguttural "morn- in'." It was Drummond who said that each person we meet leaves his impress upon our mind. If this be true the even- ing grouchiness must be due to contact with lot of sour-faced individuals during the day. Lets all cheer up and at least put on a "good front"

IT is not too early to start the flower garden by planting the seeds in the house. Lots of real enjoyment can be had in this way, and one can have thrifty plants ready for putting in the ground by the time the soil is warm enough to receive them and have flowers before your neighbors and without patroniz- ing the hothouses. Those who have tried it know the joy and instruction they get out of it.
