George Lynn and Will Carmichael
drove to Bismarck last week, via En-
monsburR, and did likewise again
yesterday, to look over the stage line
In which they recently became inter-
ested. IL has not yet been definitely
settled by the syndicate as to whether
Carmichael and Lynn or petrie and
Streeter will do the driving ON the
line. 1t is probable that a competi-
tive examination will soon be held for
the purpose OF ascertaining which two
OF the four are the better qualified to
go on the stage.
~ kadoka Is. ID. correspondent Of
the Opera House Reporter says Of the
wilkins Australian Concert Company,
which will show in Linton on Monday
and Tuesday. April 18th aud 18th: 1T
Is an Al company and gave the best OF
satisfaction here. We cannot say too
much in praise OF the wilkins COM
pany. IL is undoubtedly the hest
show we have ever had in town Their
large troupe of Australian cockatooS
and other educated birds are a grand
sight to see in their different stunts.
Our hall was entirely too small for the
large crowd that turned out
Mr.. Rudolph Gau, of Marie, and
Miss Christina Schepp, Of Herreid, s.
d., we're united In marriage last Mon
day noon at the residence OF MIR. and
Mrs Tegge, In Linton. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. A. A. Bos-
chee, the Evangelical minister. After
the ceremony wedding dinner was
served by Mrs. Tegge. The groom is
. straightforward, enterprising young
man and prosperous farmer. The
bride Is almost q stranger, but during
her brief sojourn here has made many
friends. The young husband and wife
will make their home on their farm,
about ten miles northeast of Linten.
Last Thursday an April-fool Joke
that worked was played on a Linton
young lady. Her married sister who
resides In Aberdeen wrote to her Lin
ton sister that she would ON Thurs
day, the lst, visit her relatives At the
Emmons county metropolis, and ask.
Ing the sister, propelling . baby car.
rtage. to meet her at the depot. So II
happened that just before tratn-time
an expectant young auntie, trundling
kid-cart, made her way leisurely
adown Broadway to the day-poe. But,
when the train arrived, no married
sister and no cherubic kidlct were Wis
ible to the naked eye. Whereupon the
lady and the vehicle wended their
way to the federal building for the
family mail. There the lady received
brief note from the Scotch h-named
South Dakota city containing such
Expressions as "April fool! Ha-han
and SO forth and SO forth.
No BUSINESS men other than pub.
pected to give away their space
anything OF quasi-public nature is
willing to stand his share" and 90
down in his pocket tho same as any
other dealer; and then, in addition,
he is expected TO give up his space
free to advertising the scheme or
function, Whatever it may be. This is
manifestly jug-handled proposition
and entirely unfair. And the Record
has quit 1t. Hereafter every line Ia
the way Of advertising any kind Of en-
tertainment for any purpose, where
an admission fee is required, will be
charged at our regular rates. Ii one
wants to hire drayman to haul
something for q function Of any kind,
or goes to a store to procure goods for
use at such function, he will have to
pay for it. There is no more reason IN
expect the publisher of newspaper
to give away his goods his space
than to expect any other business
man to do so. The country publisher
should contribute cash to worthy OBJ
jects as others in his financial class
contribute, and he should receive his
pay Is others who furnish goods art
paid.
This is the limit. Not only Is Lin
ton sup against 1t" in the matter Of
abominable mail service over the N
p. line, but now comes new deal bJ

of the county from the county seat
