The Window Reporter quotes lumber
at that place ut SIG for first common;
siding SIS to S22; flooring $40 to s2s;
shingles, So to $3.50, and thinks Jack
son cannot do better than this. Wor-
thington cannot do rs well, or does not,
at any rate. The Reporter says:
We are satisfied our dealers are SELL
ing us low as they can. and if Jackson
is offering better lumber it is simply
because the Southern Minnesota road
gives them all advantage on freight.
Evidently. And if the Southern
Minnesota can give low rates where
there is no other railroad to compete
with, why can't the Sioux City & st.
Paul road do so? If the Southern Min
nesota can put down freight rates and
still show a handsome sum in the way
of nett earnings, why can't the Sioux
City 4 st. Paul do the same? We rise
to receive an answer.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL

ANCd61Sx1OF PURCELL.
1t is now said that Father Edward
Purcell, of Cincinnati, has been crimi-
nal us we'll as indiscreet. There is u
suspicion that lie las converted funds
placed in his hands for safe-keeping, to
his own personal use, and that 4 lady
who had trusted him with $50, ZOO is
that much out.-Philadelpl,ia Inquir-
er.
Father Edward Purcell is the Arch
bishops brother, and has for years been
associated with the Bishop in all busi-
ness and church matters. lie has long
been the editor Of the Catholic Tele-
graph: the Bishops organ. Perhaps
the Inquirer has mistaken him for tue
archbishop.
III 1866, we met Edward Purcell and
the Archbishop at the latter's residence
in Cincinnati. The Archbishop then
WAS entertaining several financial T.
gents Of the Pope Of Rome, who had ap-
piled to him for loan. The arclbish-
op raised the money for his so-called
Holiness, and how much of the depos-
its Of the poor Irish servant girls and
laborers of Ohio went to the Pope, to
help him out of financial trouble, we
suppose nobody knows but the Arch
bishop and his brother.
The people need just such lessons as
they are now learning. This trusting
men financially because they are high
in the church, or in some Young Mems
Christian Association, is proof Of the
widespread insanity and idlocy which
the clergy and the shrewd rascals who
are i'll the church are doing so much to
foster. It is lam entable to see how
ready the Whole secular press is to as.
sumo that There is nothing crooked a.
bout the Purcells in this, the most gi-
gantic swindle, or blunder, or both,
which has come to light for years.
Spencer, of the Chicago Savings Bank,
who cheated the poor waslserwomen
and laborers out of tens of thousands
OF their deposits, was President Of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
and another shining specimen Of these
pious frauds and religious rascals who
can so easily dupe all that silly class Of
men and women who think that =
psalm-singing hypocrite must somehow
he trusted just because he sings psalms
and sniftles about loving what he calls
the Lord"
But these are wholesome lessons and
the people are learning them gradually.
Spencer and Purcell! Next!

THE OKARENA MILLS CHANGE
HANDS.
On Tuesday last, E. F. Drake, Presi-
dent Of the st. p. Il 5. C. railroad was
in town busy about something. A lit
tie inquiry let our reporter into the Sc
cret that he was here to make arrange
ments for running and repairing the
Okabena Mills, which, it seems, have
come into his possession through the
claim of the now defunct Marine Bank
OfS .Panl.
The mill has been leased to Joseph
Lowe, well known as the miller at the
mills for the past few years, and to II.
II. Anderson, of the Flour and Feed
Store, who will continue the business
without interruption. A new roof
will be put on the mill .,at once, and we
learn that Mr.. Drake intends to gradu-
ally improve the property and keep the
mill up to the standard required to
make the Okabena brand of -four.

STRUCK BY LIGHTyIy0.

~ u
On Friday evening last, during the
Thunderstorm. the barn and sheep
sheds belonging to Hon. A. l.: Runyon,
located about, two miles east Of town,
were struck by lightning and burned.
Several parties saw the lightning strike
and the flames fash up almost instant
ly. Mr.. Runyon, who lives in town,
fastened to the scene as rapidly as pos
sible, but Of course arrived too late to
save the buildings. About 20 lead of
sheep, five oxen, a large quantity of hay,
some lumber and some farm imple-
ments, were destroyed with the build
ings. The loss is from $500 to 81, GOO
and no insurance.
This is quite loss to Mr.. r. who
was just getting fairly started at Min
nesota farming. Fortunately, the rest
of his sheep, several hundred head, .es.
capped into the lot and were saved.

VILLAGE EXPENSES.

What is the reason that no village f.
nancial statement is published? a
good many people want to see where
the money went to last year.
On Saturday and Sunday last the Big
Sioux Valley, in the vicinity of BeIoit
and Portlandville, was the scene of
some very destructive prairie fires. In
several townships about half the set.
tiers were burned out of house and
home, and several lives were lost.
II. ]. Phelps and family left on Mon
day night for their new home near Ne
osha, Newton county, Missouri. Mr..
Phelps was one Of the early settlers in
Mobiles county and during his residence
here has made many friends and MAIN
tained a character for uprightness
The good wishes of many friends 60
with Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps to their new
home.
One Of our friends wants to know
why April first is Fools Day. Well,
we are not very clear on that point, but
we believe it is called All Fools Day
because April Fool, who is one Of the
Saints in the calender Of one Of the
churches, was born OH that day or died
OH that day or was fooled on that day,
or some way. Still we are not authori-
ty in these cl,urcl, matte
They have a beautiful way of doing
business over in Moody county: Dako-
