Miss Belle Cook of Mountain View,
California, has telegraphed Hon. William
S. King that she accepts his proposition
to add $4,000 to stakes in the race be-
tween Miss Jewett of Litchfield and her
self, at the Minneapolis Fair next Sep
TENDER. This race will be tor twenty
miles. Each contestant is to have as
many horses as she may select to make
the race, and no one horse shall be ridden
at distance exceeding two miles at
single dash, while one mile will be the
rule. This will be one Of the most excit-
ing races that has ever come off in this
country and no doubt will draw large
crowd to the Minneapolis exposition.

A. Wilson's Prints speak of them in the
highest terms. BY calling soon you can

In MExoRIAM-The last sad ect was
Ips-formed for little Tony Finn, on Fri
day. thS ED inst, and Notwithstanding
the inclcmcncy of the weather goodly
number were present. The services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Livermore of st.
Peter. The sad faces and fearful eyes
told palmer than words how deeply all
sympathise with the fond parents in their
bereavement
IT'S hard to part with those we hold most dear,
And tcarfuliy to watch for those who'll ne'er
| appear,
And sad to think carth's ties, however strong,
Are snapped in twain. Yet think not it is
wrong,
For He who rules all things will never fail
To comfort those who mourn, and work the
good Of all.
For here we only part with those we love,
Assured we'll meet again in realms above.
Rejoice, then, ye that mourn, and know, the
| rod
Is but mark of favor from your God.
On last Tuesday, as Mr.. Geo. W. Braley
and his brother were driving near the up
per ponto on bridge, their attention was
attracted to a large timber wolf about
fifteen rods away. The animal trotted
along distance of about eighty rods and
then approached to within about thirty
feet of them. 1t then crossed over on the
prairie to herd of cattle belonging to
Mr.. T. Hanzie and tried to capture calf,
but failing in this it turned its attention
to sheep which it drove towards Han
zie's house. Mr.. H. seeing it, came out
with shis dog and gun, when it ran off
across the prairie. Mr.. Bradley says the
wolf was exceedingly bold in it's move
ments and came so close to his wagon
that had he had his revolver with him he
could easily have shot it several times.
During the past winter quite number of
calves and sheep have been carried of
lby wolves in that part of Delhi.

Il THE CARPET ExnIBIToR.-Thisis ono
of the latest and most useful inventions.
With it carpet can be shown as perfectly
matched as if on a large room from the
loom pattern. 1t is adjusted to the edges
of the pattern, and by the combination of
reflections, it multiplies the pattern a
hundred fold, repeating it just as loom
does, giving the effect the carpet will
have made up and laid on the floor
many claiming better than can be done in
most stores from the roll. The effect is
very novel and attractive, and gives the
satisfying idea of how the carpet will
look on the floor, from the sample.
The exhibitor is composed of -four
, German plate mirrors, best quality, SO
, arranged as to be easily and quickly ad-
, justed to pattern of any size. With
their usual enterprise, Messrs. H. N. Bel
& Co., of this place, have secured one Of
these exhibitors, and samples of carpets
. representing stock of $500, which they
