Mr.. r. X. Cole 10 now In his new quar-.
tiers. next door to the Perkins House. The
building has been partitioned conveniently
for bakery, reprinted and made quite at.
tractive. Now that Mr.. Cole has gotten
over to the busy part of town his business
will NO doubt be considerably improved.
There have been few cases of diph.
iberia in the lower part of town recently
Mr.. Hegli Peterson lost two children the
early part of the week with the disease.
So far as we can learn the disease is con.
fined to a few houses and Nth proper pre-.
cautions there is but little danger of its be-
coming an epidemic.
Mr.. Ole Lofthus brought fine specimen
of wheat to this Office last week, Of the
Bearded Fortune" variety. MIR. Lofthus
informs US that he has raised this variety
of wheat for three years and that he finds
it more profitable than any other kind.
Rust. blight, etc., which at times proves
so disastrous to less hardy varieties have
thus far had no effect upon this.
A fine specimen of Canada Flint wheat
was brought US from the farm Of Ed.
Moore, in Stevens township, day or two
ago. The stalks are strong and vigorous,
are well headed, and the kernels are plump
and full If all wheat was as good, Stew.
ems county would soon eclipse Northern
Dakota in her reputation for mo. l hard"
Mr.. George Lewater has purchased one
Of the drays recently owned by Wm. Me.
Cullough and is now ready for business in
that line. Mr.. Petite, who has had con-
siderable experience in draying here, is
driving it for him. Mr.. Lowater has been
unfortunate in losing his eyesight and we
hope that people will now encourage him
in this new venture by giving him liber
al patronage. ~

Last Saturday Mr.. Mccullough con-
cluded to let his threshing engine rest
awhile in the ravine between town and the
Riverside mill. The wheels sunk into the
soft ground aud refused to be pulled out.
Two men from Mr.. Stoddard's camp, each
with team, happened along that way and
lent helping hand, but just as they had
settled down to business with the balky
engine, one of their teams concluded to
enliven the scene with q runaway which
other team gave chase and in time caught
the stampeded horses. On. Monday Mr.
Mccullough succeeded in inducing the en-
CINE to move on and now the ravine is as
it was before.
The gorgeous and varied scenery of our
prairies, grand, sublime and incompatible
in its softly blended and seraphic beauty,
is enhancing even to those of US who daily
view its ever changing, ever beautiful and
attractive lovliness. Strangers who for
the first time feast their gladdened eyes
on the wonderfully grand panorama, filled
with constantly pleasing and surprising
changes which delight the astonished eye,
are fascinated and almost stupefed with
the delicate sensations Of constant delights
which fill the soul with a joy unspeakable
and indescribable. 1t was while thus en-.
raptuied that young lady, visitor to
our city, who was out riding, and viewing
the scenes pen fails to describe, suddenly
became aroused from her trance and
q" Oh % sAos DIG " 90 I'll SoltAs uOt III ucdVtu,
and, worse than all, in strange and un
known portion of this paradise of ours, in
other words she was lost on the velvet
covered, emerald prairie. For sometime
she wandered, pleased yet afraid, when.
joy of joys, man appeared in a field.
The young lady, with much emotion and
in trembling voice. explained her posi-.
ton and asked to be directed homeward.
To her surprise no response was made to
her appeal, and again was the request fal.
teringly repeated, but it availed nothing.
The situation was becoming desperate
when the young lady suddenly made the
astounding discovery that she had been
pleading with ''scare.crow. 1t is un
necessary to add that there is young
lady now quite sensitive when the CONVEX
sation takes turn scare-croward.
