Mrs. j. d. Good left ON Monday night
to be gone about two months. Mrs. Good
the change uf climate 1t Is hoped will be
beneficial to her.
The Browns Valley Reporter speaks in
language not to be misunderstood, and
claims that the reported uneasiness of the
Sisseton Indians is "sugar.coated false.
hood" The Reporter states further, that
the Indians are not disposed to wage war
upon their white neighbors, and even If
they were disposed, are not able to do SO /;
and that these sensational reports are base
insults to the people of the reservation,
who are making such strenuous efforts
toward civilization, and an injury to that
section of country.
The failure or suspension of the firm of
OLaughlin & Burke. general merchants,
at Graceville, possesses some sensational
features, but we are not fully informed Of
the particulars. Both members of the
firm are absent-Mr Burke having gone
on visit to Ireland some time since, Mr..
OLaughlin left some ten days ago, and
his present whereabouts is not known.
Before leaving he drew some 5000 belong
ing to the firm, and is supposed to have
had much larger sum. Though his alb
sence is regarded as significant, he may
seoa return and be able to throw Q more
favorable light on his affairs than they
now appear in On Monday last claims to
a large amount were filed against the firm
by Anthony Kelly & Co.. the Miners' As
ISOLATION of Minneapolis, and by st.
Paul firm. The stock, which is quite
large and complete, is in the hands of the
sheriff awaiting such action as the credit
ors may decide to take. 1t is understood
that the assets are quite large, consisting
in part of lands, and when full state
ment is given it may be very favorable
to the creditors. The failure is most un-
fortunate one, and will be regretted by the
entire community 1t may be we'll to
state t!,at we cannot vouch fer the details
of the foregoing, but give the alleged facts
so far as ascertaned.
Later:-The claims so far filed against
the firm are: A. Kelly & Co., $4,000;
Auerbach, Fince & Van Slyke, 295; Mil,
lers' Association, $4.075. Mr.. OLough
lin had 5000 school money.

Use for old Efnit Cans.

Many people have found the cut worm a
difficult pest to keep from gardens, and
how to protect small plants such rs cab
kage, tomato and others which are trans
planted from the hot.bed to the garden
from their ravages has been difficult
question to answer. One who has had
considerable experience here gives us the
following remedy, which not only protects
small plants from being cut off by these
worms but also shows Il way in which to
use the old cans which are collecting in
back-yards and proving such an EYE sore"
to SO many of our readers: Melt the bot
tom from the cans and place one of them
over each of the small plants transplanted
pushing it into the ground two or three
inches and leaving it until danger is over.
Then the cans may be piled away and
kept for another years use. This is a
very simple remedy and is well worth a
trial

POLITICAL.

The State Republican Representative and
Senatorial Committee for tie 42d district

Chairman of Grant county committee; H.
w. Stone, Sr., chairman of Stevens county
committee; VIM. H. Campbell, who rep
resented the chairman OF Big Stone county

HANCOCK.

MAY 80, 1SSS.-Goed news for Stevens
county. MIR. II. P. Breed, Supt. of tue NJ.
u ID. Elevator Co., in an interview with
one of our prominent citizens, makes the
following statement: AFTER AL official
trip, during which visited every house
OH our line, l find the records show that
the elevator at Hancock, Stevens county,
ranks first, both i'll amount anu quality of
grain received" III further stated that
1.-THE house at Portland, D. r., 200 miles
from here is the only one that approaches
it," As this is an official announcement,
and having facts for its basis, the compli-
ment is appreciated by our business men.
This, it seems to me, does away with the
much Wanted claims of the Red River
country. !. AS the interests Of Morris and
Hancock are one, would it not be wise
policy for our business men to take some
steps toward securing small portion, at
least, of the vast numbers that are daily
passing over our railroads. Almost every
county in the west is Or has been advertis-
ed, &c. What has Stevens county done?
-. "A force. Of men have been busily en-
ployed upon cur streets for the past week,
and our streets are in such a condition that
young man can visit FL. Sunday evening
and return to Nj. the same night, without
any break downs or smash ups. Mr. B. may
venture to come next Sunday. g. G.
Thorpe left for Mortified last Friday and
will probably visit Vermont before his re-
turn. On Saturday and Monday evenings
Prof. s. B. Helmer favored us with his
comic cong entertainment. To say that
lie was successful is hardly enough. For
two hours leach evening" our people GER
tainly did what the Professor claims he
will make them do: Forget dull care. "
Monday evenings entertainment closed
with dance which lasted until 1.-THE small
hours. Improvements are still the or
der of the day. !. If the goad people of
Morris are awakened from their pleasant
dreams by the most unearthly noises, they
need not be frightened neither need they
prepare to meet burglars. &c. They may
make up their minds that its the music Of
the Hancock brass band waited westward
by the gentle breezes. G..

APPLETON.

Appleton is beginning to present her
summer charms, the warm weather of the
past few days bringing out the shrubbery
in the full leaf and the carpet OF green
beneath our feet. "A commendable spirit
of improvement has imbued our citizens
this spring. Residence grounds heretofore
at the mercy of stray bovines, have been
inclosed with neat fences, houses painted,
while tree planting has come in for u large
share of the good worK Having the ad-
vantage of II fine location, with tie wind
ing Pomme de Terre coming through the
very heart of town, few more years OF
added growth to the trees now planted
will make this place one of the most beau
tiful and romantic in the State. The
business firms "by large majority" have
caught the improvement fever until their
stores have blossomed out for the season
with new and tasty coats of paint which
gives them an attractive appearance, and
still the good work goes on. Good side
walks are an important feature OF this
town, and no Inconvenience is suffered by
pedestrians in wet or muddy weather.
They are subject of favored comment
from travelling men and others and go far
toward giving our town what is better than
riches-a good name. The village dads
are causing the business streets to be newly
graded and covered with thick layer of
gravel 50 that teams as we'll rs pedestrians
may navigate the streets hereafter in COM
parative comfort Vennor's weather to the
contrary Notwithstanding The gravel
bank within our borders is, as one has ex-
pressed it, o perfect gold mine to the town,
and it is just beginning to be appreciated.
:. The Appleton Mills have agaia started
up after a stoppags of nearly six weeks,
caused sby the washing out of their dam
by the high water early in April last. This
institution is largely identified with our
business interests, and any circumstance
which compels it to "shut down" is detri-
mental to tile entire village. The damage
has been thoroughly repaired this time,
and similar disaster is not liable TO occur
again. SCRIBE.
The Fergus Falls Journal and the Alex
andria papers last week made some very
loud remarks condemnatory of a ''barrcl
campaign" and seem to forget that their
candidate is making canvass in just that
way Mr.. Nelson, like other candidates,
is using a great deal of money in this con.
test. This, however, surprises no one, for
all know that active work cannot be car.
ried on without it, 1t does however seem
strange that these papers will condemn a
"barl" so stoutly in the hands of one, and
forget entirely to mention it in the hands
of another "People who live in glass
houses should not throw stones"
