transport all the grain ready for shipment,

election. We wagered mere sham pipe,
ON local issues. - and paid our bet An
other twenty-five cents wantonly squan,
dered, but then we don't feel as bad as we
might, when we think of the lucky but UNI
fortunate winner, trying to suck comfort

The wrecking crew in charge of super
intendent Guthrie and engineer May. did
not get the wreck on the branch cleared up
until last Friday night A derrick car had
to be brought from St. Paul to raise the
engine, the one from Breckenridge being
unequal to the task. The wrecked engine
was sorry sight and looked as if it would
require every thing new except the bell,
and we are not sure but that it required
patching,
M. & B.-Work on the branch line is
progressing rapidly and it is expected that
all the iron will be laid by the 25th. Sup.
plies of material arearriving daily, and from
the hurried manner in which the bridge
men are working, we would infer that the
track layers are close at their heels.
Freight is now forwarded as far as Grace
vile. but it will be late in the season before
the road is surfaced and in condition for
traffic to the Valley.
SuRpRIsE.--The announcement of the
nuptials of DR.. G. w. Vaughan. and Miss
Emma P. Frisby, was quite a surprise TO
almost ali their friends, as but few knew
of the event until after the performance of
tho ceremony. The marriage was very
quietly performed at the pastors residence
on saturday evening, the young couple
taking apartments at the Central We ex-
tend congratulations and well wishes, and
trust that a happy future may be theirs.
DEAD--The unfortunate man, r A.
Nelson, of Dassel, who was so seriously
injured in the accident on the M. s. B. Y.
branch, died last Saturday night. After
the amputation of his leg the poor sufferer
did not rally, indeed his recovery was
doubted by the physicians before the oper.
alton was performed, but it was of course
the only chance of saving his life, The inn
mediate cause of death, aside from the
shock to the nervous system, was from
blood poisoning.
Our club evidently frightened away the
numerous individuals looking for Bragg
and his wood pile, for we see Mr.. Good
has had an attack similar to ours, as q
lengthy and spicy bulletin announces in
language unmistakable that they don't
know Bragg, never saw him, and don't
want to, never knew him, and don't care
if they never do. in fact there is club in
pickle for somebody, and if Bragg don't
look little out, he will be responsible for
q wholesale and retail massacre.

BRAss.-A cheeky individual, and what
book agent is not monument of brass,
was in town last week taking orders for
books, and, to obtain subscribers, resorted
to the following piece of disreputable trick,
cry: The names of many leading citizens
were forged ON his order book, the object
being to give his yellow covered trash a
tone of responsibility, and also to influence
unsuspecting parties into subscribing

him from being summary bounced.
A small amount of wood Was received
Tuesday, but it is of the non-burnable va
riety, known as ywatery-indeed-e elm.
However, it is wood all the same, and will
answer a double purpose, for by running a
cord of it through a clothes wringer suffi-
cient water may be obtained for the nee
essary household purposes of an ordinary
family through the winter months. This
idea is not patented, and people need not
fear to take advantage of the suggestion
of an abundant and cheap water supply,
for no drive well game will be attempted

good average yield of grain this year.
From Mr.. Fl. Ellsworth we learn that the
average yield of wheat per acre in that
town was sixteen bushels; Himself and
brothers, raising this season nearly eight
thousand bushels of wheat and about
twenty-five hundred of oats. The above
average of sixteen bushels is as good as
any town in the county can show. and is
creditable to the residents of that vicinity.
Farm work is progressing satisfactorily,
and few more days of favorable weather
will complete the seasons work in that sec.
