west on this line and branches. An i'm.
mense coal depot has been erected at this
place. near the water tank, and judging
from its size, 25x100 feet, it 10 probable
that all trains west will coal here.
CHAIN AND BALL-The village council
at recent meeting decided to procure
balls and chains with which to ornament
the prisoners, as they work out their fines
on the streets. We rather think this will
put stop on some of the regular boarders
at the county Jail, and prove wholesome
lesson to some of the rowdy element.
FUEL.-An extra train yesterday even
ing brought some wood, SO those who are
in need of fuel can obtain it. Mr.. Bragg
has also received few car loads of coal
and will keep full supply of all kinds
always on hand. He will also e2deaver to
have stock of wood also on hand and il
will not be his fault If he runs short
Elsewhere appears communication
from county supt of schools, ]. A. John
son. giving few timely words regarding
the coming teachers institute, which con-
venes at this village ON the 9th inst. We
may state, as We believe 1t has not been
previously announced, that the institute
will hold its session in the school house.
LOOK OUT.-Gales of wind such as Wis
tied this section on Sunday and Tuesday
should be warning to farmers to provide
6re-guards Immediately, as prairie fire,
famed by such gale, would sweep across
stubble fields as we'll as prairie. The stub.
BILE is very long and grass rank this season,
and the recent heavy frosts have killed the
grass in many places so that it will burn
readily.
LIBRARY.-Arrangeme have been
made by Mr.. J. P. Morris for starting
circulating library, and the books are ex
pected this week. 1t is the intention to
let the books, for the nominal sum of ten
cents volume per week, and as this will
give the public an opportunity to secure
good reading at very cheap rates, we have
no doubt but the library will be we'll pa
troniZed
WELLs-Mr. John Richards has con
tracted and will commence work at once
sinking tank and section wells on the
branch line. An eleven inch augur is to
be used, the wells curbed with cement
tubing, and we have no hesitation in say
ing that the work will be we'll done, as
Mr.. Richards is careful and thoroughly
competent workman and has the best we'll
digging outfit in the West.
Almost all of our citizens who attended
the fair at Minneapolis have returned home,
and express themselves pleased with the
exhibition, although many express dissatis-
faction with the lack of management
However the fair was pronounced sue
carry out the programme, in some in

been 70 complaint or disappointment.
The st. Paul Dispatch has this to say Of
our home enterprise: The projected Little
Falls & Dakota railway, running from
Little Falls 1870 miles through fertile
prairie country to the western boundary of
the State, was surveyed last year and is
now being graded, the company intending
to lay the track early next year. This
road will open an extensive and permanent
lumber market.

the dates set for holding the annual county
fair, and for the credit of all we hope to
see large and creditable display Of stock

side of the track, occupied as a machine
warehouse by Messrs. Amundson s.
| Walders, has been engaged by the society
for the OCCASION and all articles for eXhi-
bition will be left there.

SMAsH.-Bright and early yesterday
morning Mr. H. f. Peters team started
out to furnish US our weekly ''runa way,
and they did it in a manner deserving oil
the highest praise, very considerably leav
