SALTWATER.

Several of the mills will start up to-day.
The water in the lake is falling very rapidly,
and the mill will be able to start up in few
days.
Seymour, Sabin s. Co. shipped, yesterday,
eight cars of threshers and one car of engines
to Indiana.
Tonight BARLEY Campbell's 'Galley Slave"

would secure good ones.

If the party that found purse near Louis
Albenbergs store would leave it at Willard d
Henning's drug store the owner would be
obliged.
The city drug store has fitted up separate
department for homeopathic remedies. This
apartment is by itself and has all the conven-
fences that the general store has, and Is tiny
little dispensary IN nutshell.
We noticed in Mr.. Karst's tin shop the eco
nomical," daisy little oil stove, just the thing
for family to use in warm weather. This
stove will do all the cooking that can be done
on any stove,as it Is furnished with a complete

We noticed in the office of Durant, Wheeler
& Co., several pieces of statuary designed for
the Opera house; two very fine pieces.on rep
to be placed over the boxes, while two busts,
one being that OF Milton and the other OF
Byron, will be placed on the corners and over
the first two boxes.
The men are coming off from the drives
every day, water being so low that the logs
cannot be got over the falls. They will no
doubt lay up until the June rise OF water. Ii
will not damage our mills much, as there are
logs enough in the lake, with what will come
<>f H. L., ,.ixr to aaT hn
going and make ready sales for the logs now
IN the booms.
We hear people in the city saying that 1t is
a backward spring, but In CONVEX sation with
the farmers they say that it is the earliest
spring that they have had for several years.
They commenced their springs work earlier,
and their wheat is now from two to three
inches high and the weather and the condition
of their land is as favorable as they could
wish.
A meeting of the Saltwater branch of the
Irish Land league held in Maenerchor hall last
night, was largely attended. Among the
usual business OF the meeting Mr.. NJ Paeken-
ham was instructed TO draw an order on the
treasurer for $50, TO be forwarded to the
Central league in st. Paul for the benefit OF
the league in Ireland. A committee OF five
was appointed to make arrangements for
public demonstration TO be given in few
An Injunction was served on Gillespie d
Harper Yesterday morning restraining them
from using the rafting ground which they
rented of John Glover through r. M. Coles.
Mr.. Glover has given the instructions to 60
on and occupy, and that he would see them
protected Mr.. Gregory will try the ln1nnc-
ton suit, and Marsh d Mcclure will defend.
The most of our citizens are familiar with the
circumstances attached to that property on
that side of the lake, and no doubt will be In
terested to hear the determination. If the in
junction should stick it will lead out to quite
an extended litigation, as there are several
parties materially interested in its determine
ton.
A child about eight years old was found
yesterday by the police and turned over to the
county commissioners. The child was first
seen yesterday early in the morning in the
warden's back yard; they tried to find out its
name but could not understand it, as it was
either German or Swede. 1t left there and
came down town, when it was taken up by
the police. 1t is not able to give any account
of itself or its home Sh riff HolcOmb made
a through investigation in the afternoon, and
at late hour they thought that they would
be able to trace out its parents. 1t no doubt
slipped away from home while the family was
out as it is not up to the standard OF medic
Gritty mentally, and no doubt required watch
lag.
