We do not need to go into full details
of the affair, and suffice to say, that
everyone who partook of his hospi-
tality, felt and believe that he will be
most successful in his new departure.
The name of the house has been
changed to Merchant Hotel, which is
really al appropriate one we think,
and he has added some needed i'm.
provemcnts which makes it very con.

COMmlCCce OF Arrangements.
The Episcopal Mite Society will
meet at the residence of Mrs. G. H.
Peake, Thursday evening, Dec. 9th.
Rev. Kidder preached two very able
discourses at Peake's Hall last Sun
day. After services each Sabbath,
one hour is devoted to Sunday school
exercises, but we notice that there is
not so many scholars present as there
should be. Every little hoy and girl
ought to attend the school and make
it us interesting Us possible, and older
ones should not be scrupulous in the
matter of attending the childrens'
services.
Cook stoves from SIG to 800, at J.
Ashbnrner & Bros, Front street.
Call and examine them.
The Methodist of Wadena and vi
cinity will hold a quarterly meeting
service next Saturday and Sunday.
Services rs follows: Preaching Sat-
urday afternoon ut 2 o'clock, in the
School House. followed by Quarterly
Conference Services ON Sunday in
Peake S Hall, at 9:30 Il. m. Love feast,
followed Ivy preaching and administr;.-
ton of sacrament. Also preaching in
the evening ut 7 O'Clock. Rev. J. B.
Starkey will conduct all of the above
services. Everyone invited.
DR.. J. r. Hunt, of Elmo, a dentist
of Is years experience, has concluded
to commence the practice of his pro-
fession in this community. DR.. Hunt
is IN old professor of high reputation,
having practiced in some of the
largest cities Of our young State, but
having become broken down in health,
he immlgratcd north short time
ago and located in Elmo, for the pnr-
pose of regaining his lost health.
Our people should be congratulated
on being able to command the servi-
ces of such All experienced and skillful
doctor. His Office while in Wadena,
will be 1T the Central House.
Monday morning, at about six
O'Clock, the cry of fire was sounded
through our unusually quiet streets.
A blaze was discovered issuing from
the roof of Rev. Hepp's residence, on
Third street. a few pals Of water
quenchcd the fire, but it is 4 warning
to our citizens to be more careful and
protect themselves with good brick
chimneys. Had u high wind been
blowing as it did Sunday. all the ''fire
engines in Wadena could not have
saved the building. The loss will
not be more than five or six dollars,
but few minutes later it might have
been five or six hundred.
The dinner given thanksgiving day,
by the ladies', for the benefit of the
church, proved to he very successful.
The tables were laden down with
turkeys, pies, cakes, and everything
that could tempt the people who had

fathom line to fiat central basin about
two thousand fathoms in depth. The
two large plateaus less than one hun
bred fathoms beneath the surface of the
water are along the west coast of FlOri-
da, about one hundred and thirty miles
broad. These plateaus show the actual
continental outline to be very different
from the shore lines of the gulf. Prof.
Agassiz. in his paper, showed that these
plateaus, whatever may have been their
primal origin, are very largely COM
posed of limestone, formed of the os-
seous carcasses of submarine life. and
that whereas they had been in this way
built up to the depth at which coral
atolls or reefs begin TO form. twenty
seven fathoms, as in the ease of the
Florida Keys and the Coral Islands
northwest of Yucatan, coral atolls en-
actly similar to those in the Pacific de-
scribed by Darwin were found. But
Darwin had explained the Pacific atolls
by gradual, general subsistence of the
bed of the ocean, and his theory was
that all reef formations were accom-
panied by subsistence Here in the
gulf the formation accompanies an ele-
walton, and as similar plateaus are
found in the coral regions of the Pacific,
it is concluded that Darwin was all
wrong, and that coral reef formations
accompany elevations of ocean beds in
stead of subsistence. During the dis
cussion the interesting fact was de-
veloped that the gulf-stream, so-called,
does not come from the gulf, as is rep
resented in the physical biographies.
but is an equatorial current which
comes through the Caribbean sea from
the African coast, is turned northeast
upon striking the coast of Yucatan,
passes through the straits of Yucatan
and Florida and out into the Atlantic
without really entering the gulf of
Mexico at ali. The currents in the gulf
are very slow. The mouths of the
Mississippi have already projected so
far beyond the general coast line rs to
Rave nearly reached the precipitous
declivities of the deep gulf basin. SO
there is no danger that the channel will
ever be stopped again or that the jetty
system will have to be extended further
into the gulf than at present.-M Y.

bosses on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
was PLAYING about the depot shortly be-

he got between the tracks Just as the
two lightning through trains were APP

in 'front.' of the depot. The dog appar-
emily saw his danger. for he quickly
looked in either direction. and calcu-
lated that if he should attempt to cross
the track on either side he would GER
tainly be crushed to death Now. this
dog did the only thing which could have
been accomplished by a human being.
He stretched himself out on all tours.
placed his nose between his paws. and
remained in that position until the
trains had passed. A number OF gem

dog, one of whom gave the particulars
