proposes adding largely to the stock and

and best selected assortment Of staple and

Mr.. II. r. DeLaplain leaves next week
for Wisconsin, to commence work on his
bridging contract along the line of the Chi
cago, Portage & Superior Railroad, now
under construction. Mrs. DeLaplain, we
learn, contemplates closing her popular
boarding house, and, if she does, proposes
taking up her residence in st. Paul for the
winter
Ii will be good news to our business men
to learn that one of our enterprising young
citizens will run u line of OK carts between
this place and st. Paul, for the purpose of
carrying kilograms and running opposition

intelligence will prove glad tidings to our
readers.
During the closing days of last week. the
elements We're again disturbed and a
prompt and disagreeahle veto put upon oul
fair weather. The change from bright
warm sunshine to wet, chilly and villain
Gus weather, was unfortunate for business,
and we might add uncomfortable fer the
average mortal who was compelled to
wade through whole oceans of mud, and
such mud as Morris alone can produce.
The Metropolitan has gone back under
the old management Mr.. Kemp having
concluded, after months experience that
the business would not warrant th> pay

will be surprised to hear of Mr.. kemp's
having thrown up his contract, as it was
from the first the general opinion of those
best posted, that the rent and other eX-
penses would more than eat up the receipts.
The candidates are getting lively about
these times and are flying around with
faces wreathed in smiles and pockets
stuffed with cigars, intent on securing any
thing in the line of support, from a pledge
away down to Il promise. Asevcrv one of
them is sanguinc all are happy. In this
connection we might ask what has become
of the usual bevy of independent candi
dates, has the crop been Il failure or has
last years disaster to all such, proved a
warning and Il lesson.
Elsewhere we publish a notice of the
marriage of one of our popular and deserv'
