Charles Cromwell, the man whom it Is
alleged was thrown from moving freight
train between here and Hancock, some
time ago has brought suit against the raj
road company for $4,000 damages. He
is represented by G. X. Davis, of st. Paul
and D. s. Griffin, of this place as counsel
On last Tuesday evening Miss Emma j
Spooner, teacher in the intermediate de-
partment of the Morris public schools
rendered her resignation to the schoo
board, to take effect rs soon as q
person can be found to be her successor
Miss Spooner is an earnest, active, and eff
ficient teacher, and her withdrawal from
the school is much regretted.
Isaac Bogert narrowly escaped serious in
jury on Thursday last. While at work up
on a threshing engine his pantaloons
caught upon the setscrew on the driving
shaft; and had it not been for his presence
of mind and strength, his body would have
been horribly mangled. AS it is, his
clothing was partially torn from him; one
boot pulled to pieces; and he himself con-
siderably bruised and burned. He will
soon be able to work again.
The patent medicine man made some
thing of stir in town last Saturday after.
noon and evening. BY the aid of three
musicians who played violin, twanged a
guitar, and sang negro songs, he succeeded
in getting a crowd together, and har-
rangued them upon his own Importance,
the universal healing properties of his
medicine ard other like topics. Consider
able ability was shown both in the
music and speaking; but whether it was
eXerted in a worthy cause or not is some
what doubtful.
A quiet wedding took place at the
Methodist parsonage last Sunday evening,
the parties most interested being James
Hutchins and Miss Sarah Mills. The
groom is quite we'll known as hard work
ing farmer. and the bride who has recently
obtained divorce from her former hus-
band, aud assumed her maiden name, is
quite generally known in this vicinity as
Mrs. Babbitt. Both parties own land near
town and now have united their fortunes
and will continue the journey of life to-
gether.
The side walk upon Atlantic avenue
has been literally extended southwark.
Miss Kellogg now has an immense stock
of millinery goods, embracing all of the
latest fashions direct from the Chicago
market. While the gentlemen are hardly
expected to fully appreciate, or even
slightly comprehend the intricacies in the
architecture and construction of lady's
stylish hat or bonnet, they can but join the
ladies in admiring the fine effect produced
by the display of so many elegant goods
as are to be found at Miss Kellogg's store.

The rattle for team, advertised by
August Sager, to take place on last Satur-
day evening, was hardly success. The
dance in Berkin's hall was well attended,
and the free supper at the Farmers Hotel
was we'll patronized, hut when it was time
for the team TO be ratified it was discovered
that all tickets had not been sold, and
numerous complications arose which it
will be more difficult than interesting to
describe. The result so far as we can
learn amounts to this: His many friends(?)
have enjoyed dance, supper, and
general good time at his expense, and now
the verdant August can regain possession
of his team by redeeming all the tickets
for the rattle outstanding against them.
