dria stockads will remain. For some rea-
son or another tho Government has never
authorised IN agent to como up and sell II,
as was done in tho case Of the stockade at
Sauk Centre and one or two others In tho
Minnesota Valley.
Trade here is very fair, although tho de-
liveries Of grain arc light. Wheat 10 quo
ted $3.50 for No. l.; Oats 900 a. $1.00.
Most Of the grain Of Douglas and Otter
Tail counties necessarily goes d.wa to Sank
Centre, but with tho grist mill, now about
being commenced, in operation next year
the grain traffic and other trade connected
Herewith will be stopped At Alexandra.
The effect Of this is already being felt on
the tovn-site. Since your visit, Mr.. Edi-

new stores have been raised, and three 9TH

several months the injured lady had sns-
pected her husband of too great iondness
for Miss Chandler, and eventually the sus.
