Many of your friends, or people whom you know of, have contracted con- sumption, pneumonia or other fatal dis- eases, by neglect of a simple cold or cough.

Newton Ringler returned from their hunting trip, the latter part of last week. All the game they killed was one turkey, which they claim was a wild one, and no doubt it was. for Ringler offered to bet $5.00 on it and make oath to the turkey besides. That ought to settle the question. J. W. Bryan, of Lowder, Ilis., writes: “My little boy was very low with pneu- monia. Unknown to the doctor we gave him Forey’s Hoxey Axp Tar The result was magical and puzzled the doctor, as it immediately stopped the racking cough and he quickly re- covered.” Miller & Shaler.

One day last week a very interesting case was tried in the court of Esquire Samuel Lowry, in which the litigants were Scott Brown (colored) and Jacob Blough, a white neighbor. It seems that Brown had bought some Plymouth Rock chickens, which in some mysterious way disappeared. Brown having a sharp eye as well as a good appetite for fowls, at once began to’ look about for his birds. He soon discovered in Blough’s lot some chick- ens that looked like his own, and he was not slow in claiming them, insinu- ating strongly that Blough had “done taken dem chickens from his hen coop.” This charge was vigorously resented by Blough, who claimed that the chick- ens were his own, and that Brown had no title to them whatever. After exchanging epithets with each other and making use of all the choice adjectives known to the Afro-American and Caucasian vocabularies, Brown appeared before Esquire Lowry and had a search warrant issued for the re- covery of a flock of Plymouth Rock chickens, which he alleged could be found somewhere on the premises of Jacob Blough. The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable Krausse, who at once went to Blough’s place and proceeded with the search. The officer had a rather stormy time of it, and it is re- ported that a daughter of Blough’s struck him with a board. But“Barney” never deserts his duty on account of love taps, even if they are administer- ed with a board, and the search pro- ceeded. He found the chickens which were claimed by Brown, and then the fowls, Brown, Blough and all were escorted to Esquire Lowry’s court. The pro- ceedings-which followed were rich, rare and racy, insomuch that people smiled out long, and Walter Williams actually rolled on the Squire’s bed, which is in the court room, and laughed so vigor- ously as to shake all the bed slats down on the floor. The noise made by the falling slats, mingled with the sweet and angelic voice of Mrs. Blough, made a conglom- eration of sounds that aroused the ire of the court, and for a time it looked as though a number of the litigants and spectators would be fined for contempt. But to cut a long story short, we will conclude by saying that Brown couldn’t prove de chickens. He had witnesses there who testified that they had sold some Plymouth Rock chickens to him, but they could not swear that the chickens in the court room were the ones they sold. On the other hand, Blough proved by John Tedrow that the chickens were his own, John testifying that he sold chickens of the same kind to Blough that were offered in evidence, and this settled the whole business. Blough won the case, thus saving his honor, while all the costs were saddled on Brown, which was about the only thing that could be done under the cir- cumstances. Neighbors should dwell together in peace, and Brown should remember that Plymouth Rock chickens, like “coons,” look much alike. While it is not likely that there will be a race war over this matter, yet we will venture the assertion that it will be some time yet 1 efore lionlike Scott and lamblike Jake lie down together, or smoke the pipe of peace, or before Peace, that beauti- ful white-winged angel, will gather them both together under her snow- white wings.

Last Saturday evening the home of Rev. and Mrs. 8. M. Baumgardner, on Ord street, was the scene of a very pretty social event, the occasion being the 25th or Silver anniversary of the marriage of the aforesaid couple. The rooms were beautifully arranged and beautified with handsome plants, and friends and neighbors gathered in {o the number of probably seventy-five or one hundred. After congratulations and good wishes were showered upon the happy couple, the evening was spent in social converse and general merry-making. Several appropriate hymns were sung by a few members of the party, and Rev. E. 8. Johnston offered up a prayer. Appropriate remarks were then made by Dr. A. F. Speicher, Rev. W. A. Rin- inger and Levi Lichliter, Esq., the lat- ter being master of ceremonies. The speakers all paid high tribute to the merit and true worth of the couple, not only as good citizens, but as model Christian parents who are rearing a family of six very intelligent and well disciplined children. Later in the evening a fine luncheon was served, which was greatly relished by all present, and that all were hand- somely entertained is a foregone con- clusion. Mrs. Baumgardner wasdressed in the same costume she was married in, and she was not only a handsome nride 25 years ago, but the same can be said of her still. At a late hour all the guests depart- ed to their homes, feeling that the oc- casion was one of the pleasant inci- dents of life, and wishing Mr. and Mrs. Baumgardner many happy returns of the day. They left behind them not on- ly their good wishes for the couple,but many fine presents as well, all of which are highly appreciated by the good host hostess. Brethern Church Services.

Hoxer 8, May, Pastor, FROM NORTH DAKOTA. A Former Somerset Countian is well Pleased with McKinley and Republican Prosperity. Z1iox, Towxer Co., N. D., Nov. 13, 1900. Eprror Star: —Before the official re- turns are all in and declare Bryan elected (?) I will take pleasure to write a letter for your columns. Our election day was one of the most lovely Indian Summer kind imaginable ; in fact most too fine, for a good many farmers didn’t take the time to go to the polls, as they were too busy thresh- ing, and many took it for granted that McKinley would be elected anyhow. But a cool wave came from the Klon- dyke regions, and our ground froze too bard for good plowing the day after the election. So, now, I may say: — Our summer is ended, Our harvest is past, Nearly all the grain threshed, And housed up at last. As the price is up high, Our {lax is our boodle— Only a dollar and sixty, To the tune Yankee Doodle. McKinley is re-elected, Prosperity smiles, But the blood of poor Bryan Most angrily “biles.” On the whole, I feel most highly elated over the results of the late elee- tion, and the results of my crops. Al- though this was an off year for North Dakota for big yieldings, still round about Cando the yield was fair, and what it lacks in quantity is counter- balanced by the prevailing good prices. As a result of my summer’s cropping I raised over 2,000 bushels of grain of good quality, and were I disposed to sell at present prices, my crop would bring $1,200. But as I am confident that prices will be still better by next spring, as there must be a bighome de- mand for feed and seed, I expect to keep my products for that purpose. This morning the ground is covered with about two inches of snow, but the sky is clear and the air quite bracing. I expect to remain over winter once in this state and see what a North Dakota winter really is like. My home com- forts and neighborhood facilities are as good, and in some respects better, than those I have been accustomed too in some localities of the Eastern and Cen- tral states in past years. From my southwest corner I have but a mile to our meeting house, where also isa store and postoflice, blacksmith shop and school house. Then I have only seven miles to Cando, our county seat, where we get daily mails and the daily papers of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Fargo and Grand Forks. Yours Respectfully, M. PE.
