At last the early construction of the
bridge across the Mississippi at this
place is assured. On Tuesday the
county commissioners and board of
supervisors of Little Falls met and re-
ceived bids fram different bridge COM
panies for building the bridge, and the
contract was awarded to the Milwau-
kee Bridge & Iron Works for $21 $50.
The bridge will be of the most substan-
tial character, what is known as a
wrought iron combination bridge. 1t
will consist of two spans of 1875 feet
each. There will be but one pier, and
the bridge will be 21 feet above the
present stage of water. The contract
requires that it shall be completed as
soon as Nov. Is, but the contractors
expect to finish it before that time.
Work will be commenced at once

Two Crops.

We always knew Mr.. Bogles Was a
good farmer, but we were not aware
that him or anybody else in fact, could
raise two crops of barley on the same
piece of ground in the same season, but
such has proved to be the case. When
the barley first headed out he cut it off
to feed to his swine, and sure enough
it kept growing all the same from the
roots, and in four weeks time another
crop appeared, all headed out. AL
though not so heavy as the first cut it
is quite thick and about a foot long.
Verify this is good country for any
thing to grow in when you can raise
two crops from the same seed.-Gran-

A special from Wheeling, w. Va.
dated July 57th appearing in the
Evening Journal is as follows The
spectacle ofthe daughter of former
vice president of the United States
and the wife of a minister to Russia
/ begging assistance of strangers in al
endeavor to reach the national capital
with view to entering charitable in.
| stitutiOn is somewhat, an unusual one
but such an event occurred in this city
to-day. This afternoon an aged lady,
well dressed, but entirely destitute OF
money, appeared at the police head
quarters and asked for aid in reach
ing Washington city. In answer to
inquiries as to her name she stated
that she was the daughter of Vice
President King, of Pieree's admins
tration, and the wife of Gen. Hunter,
Jackson's minister to st. Petersburg.
She gave her age as seventy-tour, and
stated that she was married at the age
of fourteen, her husband then being
thirty-two, and spent the first six
months of her married life at the
Russian court, giving details of her
life and her gradual descent from a
life of affiuence to her present low es-
tate. She stated that she was from
Memphis, having begged her way
from place to place, end was endeavor-
ing to reach Washington, where she
had friends who would place her in a
charitable institution, naming w. w.
Corcofan, as a playmate and school
mate in childhood. The old lady
bears every evidence offormef culture
and refinement, and the story of her
life is undoubtedly true. Aid was
furnished her to continue on her jour-
ney.

Many of those addicted to shooting
game out of season have the idea tina
if their depredations are committed
out of sight of town there is but small
danger of detection aud persecution
1t will perhaps be to their benefit tC
know that the sportsman's Association
has in its membersh'p p over two hun
dred of the farmers of the county who
are equally, if not more, Jealous in
advocacy of the game law as their col
legues of the city. Add TO this con-
sideration the fact that special agents
have been employed, and also the
large amount of reward offered, and
it appears as though illegal shooting
might not prove to be the most mex
pensive and delightful diversion that
could be indulged IN by those seeking
amusement.-Fe Falls Journal.
We have it direct from II worthy
farmer who lives near town that
prairie chickens are being shot, by par

they are spotted and if the offense is
repeated some body is going to get into

not be backward in reporting and
prosecuting every man whom they
find shooting chickens before the 18th.
No genuine sportsman would commit |
the offense and no honest man will
willluily disregard the law. Let the

People who drink cheap tea are in dan ger of absorbing poison of various kinds which the Chinese have learned how to apply in fixing up their refuse leaves. Va rious kinds of herbs and leaves, harmful and otherwise, are mixed with these cheap teas, and it is said that some of the grades which are retailed at a very low prce con- tain very little tea. The safest way is to trade with grocer who knows his busi- ness and can be trusted and pay fair price for what he offers. The New York concerns who advertise to send by mail or express packages of ssfne teas" at very low prices are to be suspected and had better be let alone.
