SHELL RIVER.

SHELL RIVER
If you will allow me through the
columns of your paper to make a few
remarks about the far-famed Shell
River country and roads leading there
to, will be obliged.
After leaving Wadena our first diff
Guilty was at Hay creek, where the
water was so high that crossing was
out of the question; twelve other teams
were in the same fix, and the only re-
lief was to go to work and bridge it
at once. Messrs. Blair and Moore
were appointed to superintend the
work, and under their able supervision
three bridges were built and the roads
made passible, their forces increasing
from twenty-five to seventy. In four
days and Il half the prairie WAS reached
in time for supper. The country con-
sists of three prairies, each about
nine miles long and seven miles wide.
In natural beauty it cannot be sur
passed. 1t is high, level, light soil
and a few scattering pines here and
there. The way the country is being
settled up is astonishing; one year
ago Mr.. Vail and Mr.. Compton were
the only settlers; now they count from
their door twenty-four houses, with
sawmill and store two miles and a
half from them. On the last day of
May twenty teams drove onto the
prairie, having among them about tif-
teen breaking teams, ready to
go to work at once. The settlers are
principally from southern Minnesota
and Iowa. They are for the most part
tirst-class energetic yankee farmers,
who have gone there to find homes,
and not for speculation.
The settlers think the people of
Wadena and Verndale had ought to
help them fix the roads in some way.
for in these places they expect to dc
their trading, and the present condi'
ton of the roads make them almost
impossible. NlBs.

The editor Of the ''Graphic," who
seems to know how TO keep hotel,
says: "The waste Of food In our first
class American hotels Is enormous. The
average quantity Of cooked food called
for per order for breakfast or dinner
wo uld suffice many q small family for
q whole day, and is generally three
times as much as the guest can eat.
The field, the sea, earth and air are
rausacked for delicscies. Nearly hun
dred varieties Of meats, vegetables,
rats, and component parts Of pastries
are concentrated in the hotel larder
The waste commences here, especially
duriuR warm WEI cher, when even ios
fails to preserve many eatables, such
as fish, etc., in their original freshness.
The result Is that much ID brought to
the table really unfit to be eaten. Much
OF the cookery Is also machine cooking
The soups served daily differ only In
name. The bill of fare Is often high
sounding imposition. II contains more
names than hsvors. The chief skill OF
some cooks seems to lie inventing
French titles Of aristocratic origin for
their dishes. The guest sometimes
hangs great expectation on . sound
not realized TO the taste. A little mere
truth and less fiction on the bill Of
fare would do the hotel more lasting
benefit"

Rurued for Witchcrafe.

A few months ago several peasants
were tried at Novgorod for burning
alive q woman, upon the pretext that
she had bewitchsd their cattle and
cast spells upon their children. These
ruffians were acquitted on the ground
that they had acted conscientiously
and In accordance with the scriptural
ordinance, "Thou shalt not suffer q
witch TO live!" The tribunal Of Ust-

named Charlamoff for having, as they

mr.. Tildem'a Double.

The Chicag, Express says: Mr..
John N. Hutchinson, Of Easton, Pa,
accompanied the inspecting party Of
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago Railroad over that road, recently,
with . party that had bsen making an
annual inspection trip. Mr.. Hutchin-
SON, who looks in figure as much like
Tilden as Tildan looks like "Long John"
Wentworth, happening to 90 out upon
the platform at one Of the stations, was
mistaken by the crowd for "Uncle Sam
my" and he was glad to retreat inside
the car. 1t seems the reports that Mr..
Tilden was with the party grew out
Of the fact that Mr. Hutchinson, Of Phil
adelphia, bears = slight resemblance to
the sage Of Gramercy Park, in features
only. This led the fellows at Pitts
burgh to infer that Tilden was on the
train, and they telergaphed the fact
to Chicago. Upon the arrival of the
train In Chicago, Superintendent Cor
ham was asked what truth there was
in the story about Mr.. Tilden, and that
gentleman said that thousands of peo-
pie were at the stations on the way ex-
peeting to see him, which ought to
make that individual feel proud. Mr..
Hutchinson looks about as much like
Mr.. Tilden as "Hebe" does like "Meg
Meirifes." The comparison is an in
suit TO Mr.. Hutchinson. But however
that may be, "Uncle John" has lost
his familiar title and is now saluted
as Mr.. Tilden. The "sage Of Gramer-
cy Park" may be induced to adopt Mr..
Hutchinson and make him joint heir
with Nephew Pelton. s. J. T. would
be the gamer. II "Uncle John"
