was true that he handled the cards
somewhat awkwardly and dealt In
clumsy fashion that seemed to Indicate
unfamiliarity with their use, but there
was none of the rashness or the timid-
ity OF the novice in the way he backed
the hands he held.
On the contrary, he showed excellent
judgment, especially in the matter OF
laying down cards from time to time
when. for some reason or other, Blais-
dell seemed to expect him to bet. On
his own deal however, he had no hesi-
tation about putting up his money. and
though no remarkable hands appeared
in the show down on these occasions
his own was invariably the best. There
had been players OF note In the game
before. but none had ever acquitted
himself with more distinction.
1t seemed impossible, however, that
any clergyman should prove himself In
the long run superior to the four sea
sOned veterans who opposed him, and
they played along until after raking In
an unusually large pot he rose from
his seat and presented his chips to
old man Greenlaw for redemption.

Anybody can soil the reputation
Of an individual, however pure and
chaste. by uttering a suspicion that
his enemies will believe and his
friends never hear of. A puff Of the
idle wind can take a million seeds
Of the common thistle and do a
work of mischief which the husband
man must labor long to undo. the
floating particles being too fine to
be seen and too light to be stopped.
Such are the seeds Of SANDER 90
easily sown. 50 difficult to be gath
cred up, and yet so pernicious In
their fruits. The slanderer knows
that many mind will catch up the
plague ard become poisoned by bis
insinuati ms. without ever seeking
the anti Tote. No reputation can re-
fute sleer. nor can any human
skill prevent mischief.

Hon. G. N. Haugen won over G
A. Meyers by a good majority, as
was anticipated. His semi-officia
majority In this county was 372
with one precinct to hear from.
Hon. 4 NJ. Enger will be the next
state senator from the Winneshieh
Howard district and has a safe ma
jority of 552 over his opponent Her.
man kullDf Howard, in this county
and is an easy winner.
H. p. Nicholson, Jr. Of Ossiar won
icyar b. 'E.s-Jewell and has a semi
official majority of 2S4.
Oscar WingeT, republican candi-
date for county auditor received a
majority of $50 over w. r. Shea
the present democratic auditor.
Deputy Treasurer Lloyd Christen
polled the largest vote of any of the
local candidates, receiving a major
ity Of 653 over his opponent Will
Hustvedt. With one more township
to hear from will swell this majority
considerable.
The hardest fight, as usual. was
on sheriff, y but o. o. Ellingson the
republican candidate, won out by a
safe majority over his democratic
opponent L.. H. Flemming. With
Hesper yet to hear from Ellingson'l
majority is 1876. which will be con-
siderably higher with the other
township In.
The villifying campaign inaugur.
ated in this county by the local Dem.
ocratic Journal has resulted in a
boomerang for his candidates and
they all met defeat. The people
don't take kindly to such campaigns
any more, as is plainly shown by the
results in this county, where every
republican candidate was given q
handsome majority.

Is one OF those rare things, musical
show with a genuine plot, and is al

with 1t. This is one Of the few mu-

of color, life and action, romance,
music and dancing, an entertaining
injection of the melodramic and a
delightful vein of comedy running
all the way through.
The production is set to striking
music and the songs are catchy.
when Dreams Come True and "The
Town That Grows Where the Hudson
Flows which have long since rid

looking, which is unusual in musi-
