We had intended to use part Of it in an.
experiment in making cider wine, or
sparkling cider, but through o misun-
Outstanding, ''our folks appropriated
it to another use and spoiled our exper-
iment. We are satisfied, however, that
it could be converted into an excellent
quality of sparkling wine, by adding
about half its volume of water and about
one and a-half pounds of white sugar to
the gallon Of the mixture. Then, after
allowing it to settle, racking it off care.

The Democratic Convention, held in
Zumbrota on the II inst, nom-
mated NJ. Doyle, of Belle Greek, for
county commissioner of the 18th district,
and s. c. Holland for Representative
to the Legislature. Both these gentle
men, are we'll qualified for the positions
to which they aspire and will no donbt
receive a large vote. With Mr.. Doyle
we have personal acquaintance, and
know him to be capable and worthy, and
his nomination does honor to the demo-
Gratis Of that locality. If he was not a
democratic nominee, we would wish to
see him elected. His competitor, Mr..
"A. }. Grover, is also very worthy
gentleman, and the interests of the dis
trict will be perfectly safe in the hands
of either.
1T is very unpleasant to Writ. COM
plants Of public officers, but really the
conduct of the city council in neglecting
to make an adequate drain on the west
side of East avenue, from Mr.. G. c..
Webster's property south to the proper
ty Of Mr.. Henry Stevens, is reprehensi-
BILE. Last spring the water from the
bluffs on the west side overAowed the
street making it almost impossible for
several weeks, and leaving it full of gut
ters and holes. It, also, washed deep
drain along the east side of the avenue,
making it impossible almost for ve-
hicle to drive up to the sidewalk on that
side. Along the front of Mr.. Brooks
property, it washed under or ran over
the sidewalk in numerous places and
cut channels through his lots and along
the bed Of Tenth street. In front Of
Mr.. Secor's property it likewise cut a
deep drain, which has been a series
inconvenience all summer. If it were
not that it is an easy and inexpensive
task to remedy this evil, complaining
would not be justified. but as it is, it is
certainly wrong to delay the needed i'm
provements. This street is main
thoroughfare, the only road to the GEM
'etery, and one in which the entire COM
munity is interested, and it ought to be
kept in good condition.
