of the play to perfection, while Miss
Emily Fay done equally as we'll. A

DR.. Berry informs that CORTLAND,
Nicollet county, is, and has been fol
some time past, badly afflicted with
diphtheria. Every child at the station
has had it, while among the farmers
it has been quite extensive, many
deaths having occurred. Mr.. Hyde
mann buried two, one on Saturday
last and another on Sunday, while his
wife is now down with it. Mr.. D,
Siemon's family, some five or six in
number, have all had it. His daugh.
ter Margaret, young lady of eighteen
years, had it in it's most malignant form
being at the point of death for several
days, but has finally recovered.
It is impossible to say what the
cause is, or from what source the
poison originates, as it seems to have
paid no respect to the most stringent
sanitary regulations, while some OF
the most filthy families have escaped

An amusing scene was witnessed al
| the caucus held in Turner Hall last
Friday evening. The call was for the
''Independent Party to meet and elect
delegates to the Ind. county conven
ton. But as no independent Co. con
vention, had been called, theD Democrats
concluded that a slight mistake had
been made by the one issuing the call
so they attended the caucus also. Thu
question arose whether it was a Demo
cratic or Independent caucus and after
considerable sparring it was decided te
be Democratic caucus, and as the
..Independent Party Capt. Nix ant
Aug. WestphaD acquiesced in the de
cision and remained and voted in thu
caucus, it may be taken for granted
that the ''Independent Party Of
Brown county has now gone over tt
the Democracy.
