Each one had sent in their order for cam paign hats of the respective parties whose cause they espoused, and when the hats were opened they proved to be exactly alike in color, shape and trimmings, and the difficulty now is to toll a man's politics by his hat.

Mrs. Maren Sorrensen, widow of Hans Sorrensen, who died near Swan Lake about the 1st of February last, committed suicide at the residence of ker aon-in-law, Mads Larsen, fourteen miles southwest of Hurley, Tuesday morning. The deceased has been very despon dent since the death of her husband, and on the occasion of the burial of a neighbor a few days since, she made the remark that she would be the next one to be burried. The circumstances as near as we can get them are that she got up at about four o'clock in the morning and went to the granary, where she fixed a rope over a beam but a little higher than her head, then slipping her head through the noose she threw her body forward and choked to death with har feet touching the floor. She was dis covered soon a.ter by her daughter, who Is her only child and with whom she is living. Coroner Graves was sent for and he impaneled a jury which, after inyestigation, made the following report: VERDICT.

WHEREAS: It is reported by the Beresford News that "the old soldiers of Alcester and vicinity in making ar rangements for the observance of Decoration Day, asked for the use of the church" in said place to be used for the public seryices of Decoration Day and, whereas, said church was re fused, and on the morning ot Decora tion Day there was to be seen on said church a rebel flag, flying its disloyal and treason colors, supposed to be placed there by one rebel and one cop perhead trustee who have charge of the church, therefore, Resolved, That it is the sense of this Post that the old soldiers of Alcester should haye repaired to said church and torn the rebel flag from its staff. Resolyed, That we furthermore con sider such conduct on the part of any one, the worst kind of treason, and the participants therein entirely unworthy of the protection of the Americas flag, and to be held in less esteem thau our worst enemies in the days of the late war.

An Examination of Stock and Prices will convince you that my Cut-prices on Dry Goods and Notions are the Low est ever seen in this county, A Lightning Rod Man Beat.—The lightning rod business if done in a straight legitimate form is one in which there is money, but it is also one which abounds in the mest treacherous and villanous schemes. There are more leeches at this business than there are men and one of them has been at work around Lennox but was trapped when he encountered Heye Buskohl last week. Mr. Buskohl has a fine barn and a lightning rod man. purporting to be from Sioux Falls came to bis place last week and wanted to rod it. He told Mr. Buskohl that he would furnish the rods, about 170 feet with 7 points and a gilt horse for the cupola for $17. Mr. Buskohl was not very anxious to buy and the man began to cut his prices little by little until be came down to $4. He said that he would put them on at this price only "because he was working a new terri tory and it would be a great advertise ment for him. Mr, Buskohl consider ed that he could not ask for a better snap and so told him to go to work and put them up. The agent began to draw up contracts for Mr. Buskohl to sign which he said that he must send to the company that they might see ho had given him special inducements. Mr. Buskohl said: "No sir, I pay cash and no contract is needed." At this the agent packed up his goods and left in an indignant mood. He had found one man who was not a sucker and could not be taken in by his flattering talx. Had Mr. Buskohl signed the con tract he undoubtedly would have sign ed his note for over $200 which would have read, $4 for.pnints and ao much a foot for rod, etc. This same man is still at work in the country and let others take pattern after Mr. Buskohl's action and treat him with contempt.
