W. W. Sears of Ellendale was con
victed of blind pigging before a Ransom
county jury at Lisbon last week. The
case was taken to Lisbon on the assump
tion that Sears could not get a fair trial
in Dickey county, and an affidavit of
prejudice being filed against Judge Al
len, Judge Pollock was called in to try
the case.
It required more than two days to try
the case. The jury went out on Wed
nesday afternoon at four o'clock and
after twenty-four hours in deliberation
brought in a verdict of guilty.
Judge Pollock sentenced Sears to four
months in the Dickey county jail, to
pay a fine af $300 and costs, and to
stand committed until the amount was
paid.
States Attorney Cassels represented
the state and Austin & Axtell the de
fendant. States Attorney Cassels has
reached three convictions for violation

tried.
Rosa d'Erina Recital.
In the Rosa d'Erina Concert, to be
given at the Academy of Music, Friday
evening, January 19th, the public of
Oakes is offered one of the most com
plete organizations traveling. Mme.
Rosa d'Erina's reputation is world-wide
and she is perhaps the most remarkable
musical marvel of the day. Not only is
she a vocal star of great brilliancy, but
she is also the only lady concert organ
ist in the country. Her operatic debut
was. made in Paris, and on going to
London, she immediately sprang to pop
ularity, and was honored 'by a special
command, to sing at Marlborough House
before the king and queen, being ap
pointed vocalist and organist to the lat
ter. In Ireland the people call her
"Rosheen na nan," the Rose of Songs,
and she is beyond question one of the
best vocalists that ever visited this sec
tion of the country. A magnificient
voice, a charming stage presence, a
magnetic touch, embodied in one indi
vidual, is a concentration never before
met with, and Mr. Vantom is in no de
gree inferior in his line. No mere elo
cutionist, no mere singer has been so
successful as has been Mr. Vantom in
his dual role. His humor is clean, spon
taneous and free from burlesque. His
audiences scream with laughter. The
New York press unanimously says that
he is inimitable as a comedian and
humorist, and a few authoritative voices
selected from a chorus of praisers, may
give testimony to the above words:
"Your magnificent voice is capable
of inspiring the noblest feelings of the
heart, whilst your majestic organ per
formance we have never heard
equalled." President of the U. S.
"Rosa d'Erina has won all hearts by
her exquisite rendering of the delight
ful music of her native land. She is
truly marvelous in her humor and tal
ent." London Times.
"Mr. Vantom is one of the best en
tertainers heard here this season.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
"No artist has visited in the city for
years who combines in so eminent a
manner the rare musical talents of
Mme. d'Erina." St. Louis Republic.
Let it be remembered that they do
not offer you a mere concert, but a com
plete, high-class and genuine amusing
entertainment, combining the elements
of lecture and song, wit and humor.
This is an entertainment yourselves and
your children will enjoy with profit.

Fire Laddies Have a Blowout.
The Oakes Volunteer Fire Depart
ment enjoyed themselves to the limit
last night. They had turned in an
alarm about a week ago that a "fire"
would be at Union Temple on the night
of the 17th, and invited the members
of the city council, the pulpit and press
to join them, with their ladies, and see
how to properly act at a fire.
All were there at the appointed hour,
eight o'clock, And the fire laddies had
not forgotten their ladies either. It
was planned to have a two hours' social
session, but the good foresight of Mayor
Bittman prevented having it in
Union Temple. After a few well
chosen remarks by the Rev. Father
Baker, Mayor Bittman came forward
and presented all present with a
free pass to the Academy of Music for
the evening, where the front square of
seats were reserved for them to witness
the presentation of "Was She to
Blame," by Miss Ruth Craven and her
excellent company. This part came as
a surprise and was highly appreciated
by members of the fire department and
their guests. Mr. Bittman kept up his
old time record that he never does any
thing by halves.
After deciding that She Wasn't One
Bit to Blame all repaired to the parlors
of the Vinkle, where another alarm had
been turned in and where liquids, chem
icals and apparatus were in abundance
to quench the 'fire.'' About forty-five
were present in the dining room, and
all partook most heartily of the splen
did banquet furnished by Mine Host
Vinkle and wife and their excellent
corps of assistants. The firemen with
their uniform of blue and shining but
tons looked handsome, and the single
lady members climbed the ladders with
grace and agility. Assistant Chief Sut
mar gave orders to drop all hooks—for
he did not believe in hooks anyway.
Some very appropriate remarks were
made at the close of the banquet in re
sponse to calls from Chief Middaugh,
who acted as toastmaster. The re
marks made by members of the coun
cil indicated that a tower was needed,
and this may be one of the good things
that may come from the "alarm."
All enjoyed themselves to the top
round of the ladder and we believe all
had reason to.

WHAT THE SICK
REQUIRE
Those who are ill need the most careful attention possible to give
them. Every little item needed in the treatment of their ailments
should be just right. At critical times there's as much danger in giv
ing remedies of questionable purity and strength as in giving those
which are entirely wrong.
We can assure you that the drugs and medicines which we carry
are the best the world provides. When anything is needed for the
sick you'll find our store a good place to trade. Our goods are pure—
we know it by actual test—and our prices and fine service will be most
satisfactory to you.
