greSS on the tower. When completed
it will be most decided ornament to
our village, and speak volumes for
Wadna's cultivation and enterprise.
Mr.. Fred Lahman called upon us
Tuesday. and in answer to our appeal
to subscribers for help, paid us for
two years subscription. We hope all
our friends will do likewise.
G. M. Taylor returned to Wadena
from his long eastern trip Monday af-
ternoon. He looks as natural as ever
and all that we notice wrong about
him is his politics. We are glad to
welcome him back, however, and
trust the vigorous climate of Mime
sofa will stimulate more healthy
condition of his political opinions.
r. c. Mitchell of the Duluth 7Ti-
bune, has been afflicted with the death
of a dear sister, who died in Duluth
on the 9th inst. Bro. Mitchell, we
extend to you the hand of fellowship
in sympathy. We would not take
this opportunity Of breaking open
a deep wound to call into ques-
ton your religious opinions. Let the
soothing balm of a belief on Il future
life, upon the basis of loue, be your
ministering comforter.
We had the pleasure of spending a
night with friend Day, of the Amiri-
can House, Detroit, last week. He
keeps a tip-top house, and has had a
tip-top business all summer. Detroit
is fast becoming a pleasure resort,
but will never achieve very promi-
nent success, until the warning fac
lions of the town cease quibbling and
| unite in the one common effort, that
of rendering the place pleasant for
all, both visitors and residents.
We have this week prepared bills
Of the amount due us from each SUBJ
scriber, which we sincerely trust will
meet with their immediate attention.
If all of our friends cannot pay the
cash, bring us wood, vegetables, poul-
try, anything which is an equivalent
to money. Cash, however is preferred.
Should errors be discovered we will
gladly correct them, but we must get
our books Strengthened out before the
commencement of the new year.
A disgraceful row took place last
week, in which a character we'll known
to the saloon keeper. was the moving
spirit. The young man referred to,
when not under the influence of liu-
uor is quiet and gentlemanly, and it
is only when the damning influence
of alcohol has Oyerpowered him, that
he disgraces himself and friends in
the manner he did last week. We
hope the saloon keepers will avoid q
repetition Of such occurrences by re-
f,,sing to sell such parties the means
which creates so much trouble.
Carload of lath redeived to-day.

Glyndon last Friday, placed in nomi-
nation, Hon. "A. McCrea, of Perham. for
the Senate, and 4. G. Comstock. of
Clay. and b. Sampson, of Polk, for
the House. The Bulletin seems to
think that the action of the com.
mittee on credentials. in refusing to
recognize Mr.. Thompson's delegates
in the convention. was entirely wrong.
We are informed, however, by the
chairman of that committee, that
evidence was introduced. showing
that Mr.. Thompson had always voted
the democratic ticket, and that the
convention which nominated his 3D.
posing delegations WAS made ND OF
duly authorized republican represent
tatives.
