We are sorry to hear that rust
has attacked Mr.. Perry's fine field
of wheat, and quite serious injury
is feared.
-SeSeral carpenters are at work
npon the inside of tho Catholic
Church here, The building is being

Mr.. Maurice T Neligan, oldest
brother of Mrs. Alvin Lord, of this
place, died at his home in Cam
bridge, Mass, on the 22nd of July,
aged 81 years.
We know girl who will
wrestle a croquet mallet in the hot
sun fer hours and not complain.
But just ask her to hang on to the
wooden end a broom for few min
utes and she'll have fit.
The corner grocery meetings
now discuss wheat, oats, hay, cattle,
horses and agricultural matters gen
orally, and county bonds, county
and town orders, tax titles, tax
certificates ETC., have to take back
seat; which is a hopeful sign, to
say the least.
Over SO Montana cattle arrived
lere during the past week, consign-
I'D to Sawyer & Davis, and splendid
cattle they were. The number Of
arrivals at the Clark House during
The past week is about 335, and we
hear that the Wakeiin House and
the Ocean House, are also full

A Duluth picnic party had
iast landed on Minnesota Point
when the storm of Thursday evening
struck their steamer, the Minnie
IeMont, driving the boat high and
dry ashore and compelling the party
TO send for tug to take them home.
The Minnie sustained slight damage
and is now undergoing repairs.
-Detriot Free Press The other
day, a farmer met friend in Detroit
who asked him how prospects were
out in the country. "This dry
weather is just killing everything, :"
was the doleful reply. Some hours
afterward storm of ram broke
over the city, and as the farmer ran
in and out Of the wet, his friend
said: "This will be good out your
way" "May be, may be said the
farmer, "but it's mighty rough on
them's got hey out to-day"
Moonlight parties just now are
all the go in this locality. A "Moon-
light Party" means an evening ex-
cursion of ladies and gentlemen,
young, old and mixed, on land or
water, and whether the moon shines
brightly or is obscured by clouds
makes but little difference. The
steamer Minnie LeMont is out
nearly every night with party Of
this kind whose merry voices, hearty
laughter, gay songs and music
make one think he is in Venice
rather thaa on Lake Superior.
