The New London (Wis) Times ane
Tribune was represented in our city las
week by II. W. Packard, brother of Miss
g. A. Pickard, one of our most eficien
teachers in the public school. We coun
Mr.. Packard very agreeable and pleas
ant gentleman to meet.
The mayor or some other city official
ought to order the general clearing out oil
all the back yards, especially in the close
ly-built business portion of the city, at
once. There is filth and nastiness enough
in the rear of some of our business houses
to give every child in town the diphtheria.
DIR. j. L. Conner and wife have re.
turned to Austin again, aud for the pres
ent are to reside with us. We expected
this; the wanderers will all return in due
time, and like the prodigal, they all re.
ceiyc hearty welcome, and when they
all get home, we shall no doubt kill the

Miss Lettie Morgan and Miss Mabel
Patterson returned home from Winona
last Friday. They come home with the
well-earned diplomas given them as Nor.
NAL graduates. Miss Morgan we under
stand is to teach in the LaBar district,
Udulpho, and we consider them fortunate
in securing her.
Our produce dealers have been ship
ping large quantities Of eggs to St. Paul
during the past week. Prices are fair, ow-
ing to the fact that the flood has stopped
trains on the other roads, and the source
of supply Of the twin cities is almost en-.
tirely dependent upon the line ofthe Iowa
s. MINI. Division.
Miss Lotlie johnson delighted the
Dillon audience Monday evening with
her rendering several instrumental pieces
upon the organ, between the different
acts. Truly, her fingers waken sweet
melodies. The flute accompaniment to
the organ by Mr.. Fred Tuttle was also
very much admired.
Dillon himselfis master of all he sur
veys, and we say be is simply immense.
His support is not good, however, and it
seems pity that such "star" must nee
be partially in an eclipse,
because so poorly sustained. A fair audi
ence greeted him with much enthusiasm
in this city Monday night.
DO rot forget the high school enter.
tainment next Saturday evening, at the
high school-room, for the benefit of the
school. Miss Sherwood is doing her best
to make it worthy of patronage. The
parents should all turn out, and give the
young folks a full house. Admission,
only IS cents. Commences at 80.
Tom Riley is almost as good as new,
though he still wears the badges which
cover the quite severe wounds received
the night of the recent fire. The break
ing Of chain, when drawing over part
of the burning building, striking him,
made some ugly gashes upon the side of
his face and head, and it was narrow
escape from serions accident
We are sorry to hear of three cases
of scarlet fever in Jerry ingalls, family.
We are glad to know, however, that the
"little ones" are not considered dangerous.
Jerry himself met with little accident
last week which laid him up for few
days. While working about Jno. Walsh's
house, he stepped backwards into the eel.
lar, tanning himself considerably.
There are several cases of diphtheria
in town. Great care should be exercised
against spread OF the disease. a Board
Of Health ought to be organized in this
city without delay. These organizations
have been the means of doing great good
10 many of the inland cities of the State
There is state law authorizing and regu-
|ating such Boards, and Austin ought to
move in the matter.
Mrs. D. A. Lord again comes before
our people with stock of millinery, the
goods direct from st. Paul, where she has
been to select her stock. She will receive
her friends in the very pleasant front
rooms of the building occupied by Mrs.
John Morrison as restaurant, next door to
Mrs. Mcmillan. Her old friends will be
glad to find her once more ready to fur.
nish them with millinery.
MIR. and Mrs. VIM. G. Clague left
Austin Monday for good. Our acquaint.
ance with Mr.. G. has proven him to be- an
honest, straightforward man, and Mrs.
Clague's looks greatly belle her if she be
not equally as worthy of regard. They 60
to Castle Rock for few weeks, where Mr..
Clague's parents reside, afterwards to St.
Paul, where Mr.. Clague has brother, an
officer in the regular army.
1t will be source of qualification to
County Treasurer Mcintyre if taxpayers
will not delay the payment of their taxes
until the last day Of May. The 10 per
cent. penalty attaches on the 1st day Of
June, and the citizens Of Austin could
just as we'll pay up now, or within two
weeks, as to wait until the last day of May
in the afternoon, when the Treasurer i.
crowded with country customers and
mail orders.
Last evening the original New York
Serenaders and Heywood's Com binatlor
appeared at the Opera House. The per
Torrance Was immense, and the striking
feature is the whole program, in which
thirty performers are employed. Every
thing is first-class of its kind The ven
triloquist was the best ever heard in the
city, and the trapeze performance was i'm
mense as was the clog dancing, slack
wire walking, and balancing acts. Mr.
Haywood certainly has a troupe OF remark
able size and one which will draw large
audience anywhere they appear.-Racin'
