While G. Horst, of Millerville, Doug
las county, was standing with his hand over
the muzzle Of gun, the load was discharg-
ed, the shot passing through his hand and
number entering the ball of one eye, de-
stroying the sight.
The Day & Goss 'drive," which had
reached the mills at this place, has come to
a standstill, the men having quit work this

Smith & Tory, Minneapolis, is here and
may get things to moving again.

Mrs. Butler, of Louisville. KY, who
has been spending the summer at Maine
Prairie, for the health of her family, has
leased the old Normal School building and
will keep tirst-class boarding house for
students and others. We are confident that
the building has fallen into good hands and
that the best accommodations will be- fur
niahed all who may stop there. 1t will be
opened next week.
1t has been suggested that it would be
advisable for the City Council to pass an;
ordinance establishing the grade of the
sidewalks. The idea is good one. As
matters stand now, every man is at liberty
to put his sidewalk ON whatever grade suits
him, and the result is anything but agree
able to pedestrians or improving to the
appearance of the walks.
