several celebrities are expecting to
take part in the religious, literary and
musical exercises at Clear Lake the pres
ent summer. Among them Harrison the
Boy Preacher, who has drawn such i'm
mense audiences all over the country, and
so recently in St. Paul, is to be there in
July. Clear Lake has been quite favo-
rite resort in other years for Austin peo-
pie, and as so many attractions are prom
lsed the present summer, we should like to
see large representation of Austin citi-
zens making arrangements to spend few
days or weeks at this popular resort
Parents, take your children and go to
Clear Lake during the hot weather. We
think you could not spend few days for
recreation and pleasure in any way more
profitable.
The Owatonna conference of Con-
gregational churches convened at Man.
torville lost week Monday, Rev. c. E.
Wright pastor, and A. p Kirkland dele
gate, were present from Austin Of the
opening sermon delivered by Rev. c. E.
Wright from Is, LIX, 10, the Mantorville
Express has the following:
MIR. Wrights discourse was an out and
out, fearless, argumentative plea for
prohibitory constitutional amendment,
and urged the duty of the church and the
Individual Christian to take positive
stand in favor of the above and in sup
port of the G. A. A. Gone of the ablest
temperance efforts we have heard in a
long time and we venture to say some
thing of surprise to the conference.
Nevertheless, we have only heard it
spoken of by the members in terms of
appreciation and as being timely and
significant.
What shall we do, when even the
graves Of our dead are robbed. Vases,
flower urns and Towering plants, taken
from our graves by thieves. Scared indeed
must be the conscience, deadened the SEN
sibilities, and cold and hardened the
heart of the person or persons that would
go to the graves of our dead and take
from them the flowers placed upon them.
Choice plants purchased at Owatonna,
and brought by loving hands and placed
upon the grave Of Mrs. Mattice, daughter
and sister of the Joseph Furtney family,
were stolen Saturday or Sunday. Both
jars and plants taken. We are indeed
sorry that we have among us persons who
would so degrade themselves and human
-ity by such acts.
Many of our readers will remember
Geo. Case, who lived in Austin some ten
or twelve years ago, and was in business for
time with Oscar Shepley. Case is now
resident of LIE Seur county, being elect
ed state senator from that county two
years ago. He defeated ex-senator Doran
his Democratic competitor, and that, too
in strong Democratic county. In the
Pioneer Press of Saturday we see that
the wife of the Observation-Disclosures Case
is one of the heirs of the Pinney
estate of Minneapolis. There has
been much litigation over the estate,
which was valued at over 100000. A
settlement was effected last week, and
Mrs. Case is one of seven heirs who re-
ceives $13, 806.39 each. Lewis Taylor re-
ceives the largest share, 1885, and two
others receive $27, 612. rs EACH
The beautiful birds of summer are
here, with their gay dress and exquisite
songs. We love them; and they fill our
forest and shade trees with sweet melo-
dy that only rivals in our hearts their
lovely plumage. The blue-bird brought
us the first news of spring, and we well
coined it with warm delight. The Balti-
more Oriole, dressed in gold and black, is
not remarkable for its song, but it goes
fitting about in our lawns and gardens
beautiful as a sunbeam. The scarlet
Tanager is also here, and said to be the
most brilliant bird that visits US. Its
dress is fiery scarlet, with the exception
of its jetty wings. The gold-inch, with
its lovely suit of lemon yellow, trimmed
with black, and the red-breasted Gros-
beak, though it appears mostly in black,
with pure white breast and band OF
carmine about its throat, are also at home
with us now. The cruel, heartless coro.
netted blue-jay goes dashing about
through the foliage, and we should love
him better could we forget his deeds OF
violence and blood shed. The red-headed
woodpecker is still another bird of rare
beauty. The dainty, glistening humming
bird, so swift in motion that his plumage
seems ever-changing, is ever fitting in
and about our blossoming vines and
shrubs. If our boys and girls would try
and remember the description of these
birds, when they run across them in thei1
ramblings, they would know their names
