-Miss Eva Fenton rave nm even;no,s

Miss Eva Fenton gave an evenings
unalloyed pleasure to about forty of the
young people Of Austin, Friday evening.
Miss Fentou had the privilege of intro
ducing her Austin acquaintances 10 her
friend, Miss Emma Johns of Winoua,
who is still her guest. Chinese lanterns
tastefully arranged made the yard look
very pretty, the tables were prepared out
eide and refreshments served under the
trees, which was very pleasant feature,
after the excessive heat of the day. The
young people enjoyed the evening testivi-
ties SO well, that, tarrying so late, some
were obliged to go home early.
Mr.. o. w. Firkins, of Minnez polls,
with his two little daughters, arrived in
Austin last Thursday, for short visit.
The afternoon of the same day, as one of
the little girls was swinging in ham,
mock, at tue residence Of Mr.. F. A. Rich.
ardson, one end of the hammock became
loosened from its fastening, she falling to
the ground. end breaking her collar
bone and also bruislug her quite severely.
DR.. Wheat had the case in charge and
anticipates no serious results. The girls
were visiting with Mrs. Leroy Basford,
who gave the little patient the most watch
full, tender care until Monday, when Nh.
Firkins left with them for Minneapolis
The Democrats of Austin are to have

nary meeting last Friday nigh, choosing
temporary officers. Capt. j. NJ. Green

--One day, about thee weeks ago, a
tramp giving his name as "Jack O'Don-
AID" together with several other tramps,
attempted to Ego through" Olson's saloon,
at Lyle, In this county. A young man
boarding at Olson's, at the moment when
he thought the bulldozing had gone far
enough, pulled out his revolver and fired
at sack" one of the leaders of the mob
The ball entered his neck just back of
the ear and lodged somewhere on the
side Of the neck. The mob Immediately
dispersed, and "Jack" was brought to
Austin for treatment. DR.. SQuires probed
the wound for the ball but could not find
1t. The fellow was taken to the poor
farm, where he has renamed until Mon
day, when he took the train for Cinc,n-
natl, apparently as we'll is ever, carrying
the bullet with him,-in the back of his
neck.
We notice by the Green Bay papers
that Maj. Van Valkenburgh has recently
purchased one.half interest in a large
stone grist mill at Depere, Wis. The
Aduocate says: "With the incoming Of
Mr.. ", it has been decided to rebuild, al-
most entirely, the interior and running
machinery OF the mill and to make i, a
model mill for the manufacture of what
is known as patent -four under the
Hungarian process The new mill,
which will be ready about the first of
October next, will be one of the most im-
portrait OH the river. It will have ca
pacity of about $50 bbls. per day, and
will be as complete as to improvements
and modern devices as the later Touring
machinery can make it, aud is heavy
stone structure-altogether one of the
best Touring establishments on the
river"
CURE FOR DRUNKENNEss.-Jose
Mcdill, the editor of the Chicago Tribune,
Is strong endorser of this remedy, and
We conclude that such being the case, he
has seen some of the benefits thereby.
1t not only is said to kill the disease, but
also the inclination to drink, at the same
time:

"A DOUBLE MuRDER.-Frlday of last
week Minneapolis was the scene of a
horrible murder. Charles Richmond, an
ex railroad conductor, shoots his wife,
emptying two charges from a shot gun,
the deadly missiles striking the unsus-
pec'ing wife about the head, chest and
left side, causing almost instant death.
He then sends bullet from revolver
through his own brain. Richmond is
said to have been q hard drinker and q
iicentiate; and his wife, who was an esti

endure NO longer, and decided to apply
for divorce. As soon as Richmond re-
