"A party of young people from owa'
tonna came down last Friday, sandwich
ing in tho hours between trains, with the
young ladies at Hiram Smiths: Ed.
Requa, Will McReynolds and the Misses
Lou Belden and Anna and Jennie De-
Wolfe. The Misses DeWolfe were on
their way to their new home in Grinnell,
and the others returned to Owatonna on
the night train.
Mrs. s. A. Corning, located near the
foundry and just opposite the chapel
would he glad to get few bearders either
for day-board, or by the week; also farm
ers, or transient persons, can get meals on
the shortest notice with her. We hope
all persons wishing such accommodations
will remember Mrs. Corning. Her prices
will be very reasonable, and her accommo-
dations are good.

The question of the wisdom Of abol'
ishing the recess, or short intermission,
which serves to break the monotony OF
the morning and afternoon SESSIONS OF the
public schools, is being discussed by
teachers and others, and the experiment
is to be tried in the Austin pubic schools
we believe. We see by our exchanges
that the matter is being considered in
other places also. IN some schools five
minutes are devoted to marching and
calisthenic exercises, in place Of the usual
recess.
The coolest and most disagreeable

Follow the crowd, and do not be
alarmed if they should take you to the
restaurant of Mrs. Fisher, east OF tie

comforting these cold days. A warm

bered by all her old friends who will moi
fail to recommend her to new ones.
