w. n. Howe and family have been
spending the past week in Chicago.
There are few business men who contine
themselves more closely to business than
Mr.. Howe, and we hope his vacation,
with his wife and daughter, has been
pleasant one.
Mrs. Biddle, of Mount Blanchard,
Ohio, has been enjoying visit with her
sister, Mrs. G. J. Short, for the past few
days. Many in Austin remember Miss
Kate Stowell, who, in earlier days, was
very favorab]y known by the young peo-
pie of this city.
Thomas Mason, brother of Benjamin
Mason of this city, died at Fon du Lac,
Wis, last Sunday. kilograms were sent
Immediately but failed to reach Austin
for some unaccountablc reason, and Mr..
Mason did not receive the intelligence un-
til Saturday, by letter.
Thomas Furlong informs US that he
has paid or secured all his debts, except
a few small matters, and he is feeling as
though his credit was good, notwithstand-
ing some false stories set af1oat regarding
it. We are glad to count Mr.. Furlong
as subscriber to the TRANSCRIPT
The Republican convention to nomi-
nate county officers is called for Friday,
October 21st, at the courthouse in this
city. If fully represented the convention
will consist of 105 delegates. The ratio
Of representation! should be decreased at
least one-third for future conventions.
"A handsome new phaeton is at the
com mand of Mrs. D. B. Smith. D. B.
sent it around upon the fifth anniversary
of their wedding day, and thereby estab
lished very bad precedent. The wives
of this city will bear this in mind, you
see, and now there will be no other way,
body must buy buggy, Or
Mothers, do you know the street is
the devils workshop for your boys, and
the lessons tn y learn take them to perdi-
ton in rapid strides. Austin has too many
pupils in this shop, and parents ought to
see to 1t that their boys are not roaming
the streets at will, especially at night.
Mothers, look out for your boys.
Freedom county will have to hold a
special election to fill the Senatorial va
cancy caused by the resignation Of Sen
ator A. G. Wedge, who, having been ap-
pointed collector of intern al revenue,
could not hold both offices. The special
election will probably be held Oct. 9Th
or 9th, and the bond question will be the
i, direct issue.
The delinquent tax sale this week
has been well attended and the bidding
has been spirited. A great number Of
pieces were sold for more than the taxes.
The whole amount for which each piece
was bid off will have 10 be paid in to re-
deem bu: the excess over the amount of
tax does not draw interest. The princi-
pal bidders are D. w. Goodrich, D. E.
Dryer, w. W. johnson and VIM. Norm.

finest talent on the boards Of the Ameri-
} can stage in their specially. Adelaide
Hill makes her FIRST appearance before
the citizens of Austin. On her way back
to her Mass achusetts home, and a favorne

We are happy to say that the county
commissioners. have decided to appoint
G.. L. Case, of Red Rock, to the vacant
Treasurship, which appointment will
be confirmed at special meeting of the
Board to be held tomorrow. Mr.. Case is
a thoroughly honest, competent gentle
man, and we desire to compliment the
Board on the excellent judgment dis.
played in making their select ion for this
important position.
Why is it Lansing buyers can afford
to pay more for wheat than Austin? Our
correspondent reports the market 81 Sc
last Saturday, while here it was only $1.25.
The Lansing figures are undoubtedly tie
result of competition among buyers which
cannot long continue, as Milwaukee quo
) tations will not warrant them. We hope
Austin buyers will not allow wheat to be
D hauled through Austin to Lansing.
An exceeding handsome monument
was shipped by Mr.. Davies efthis city, TO
Wisconsin, Tuesday, having been ordered
by Hon. w. H. Officer, of Austin, for his
departed wife, who is buried IN that state.
e It is cut out of Vermont blue marble, IN
, an artistic and ornamental style, with
beautiful lettering and finish. 1t is said
to have been the finest monument ever
gotten out in this city.-Albert Lea En-
terprise, Sept. %.
We are glad to learn that our old
lime friend, Mr. G. L. Case, of Austin
stands good show Of being nominated
for County Treasurer in Mower Co. Mr.
= Case formerly lived at Ch&feld, in this
county, and his old trien6s will gladly
voucll for him IN every particular respect
ing honesty and integrity of character
!, and business qualifications. No better
man can be found anywhere, and should
he be nominated, (Which Is equivalent to
an election) we predic: he would make a
irst-class record as county treasurer
