A hail storm passed over this place
on the 18th which made the corn and
gardens look ragged, and some heavy
pieces Of barley and oats were lodged,
but We have not heard Of any serious
damage.
The approaches to Jack Creek on Sec.

A wolf got into a flock of sheep be
longing to Mr.. Stranger as they were
returning from pasture, and when
within half mile of the house he got
them cornered in Il slough and helped
himself to. a half dozen of the finest
ewes and lambs. Mr.. S. was doing his
evening chores, when he saw that the
sheep had left their accustomed path.
He started after them and met them
about thirty rods from the house. It
was evident that something was wrong
but by the time he got them home it
was too dark to make search that night.
Going back to tho slough next morning
he found one lamb lost in the tall
grass. and two ewes with their throats
badly torn, but he thinks with the aid
of tar plasters they will come through.
One lamb was killed within forty rods
Of the house.

The Anglo. American circus and
meragerie last Saturday drew a large
crowd for the afternoon exhibition and
the general verdict is that the perform
ance was good one. The riding, for
some reason was not up to the STANDARD
but all the other performances were if
anything above the average. The
promise of good order and good deport-
ment on the part Of all the attaches
was fulfilled to the letter and the com
ing and going of the show was as or.
DERBY us that of any theatrical troupe.
1t is the first circus We ever knew to
send its agent in in the morning to pay
the printers bill and supply the office
with tickets, and, so far as we can
learn, all other obligations were met
with equal promptness.

Of q Grand Prairie, Mobiles county, Mimi. aged
Mr. O'Hearn was taken sick on tho
8tll inst, with pneumonia affecting the
left lung. There was nothing in his
condition to excite alarm until the
night preceding his decease, when con-
gestion of the right lung developed.
Although all possible was done to re-
lieve and support him, he sank rapidly
and departed this life few minutes
before five O'Clock Saturday evening.
Maurice O'Hearn was born in Ala
bama, where he spent his childhood
and youth. He came to Minnesota in
an early day and settled at Shieldsville,
Lyon county. Here lie engaged in the
lumber business, and owned large
saw mill. From Shieldsville he moved
with his family to Grand Prairie, in
this county, in 1873, where he bought a
farm and resided until his sudden call
by the grim messenger, ON Saturday
last.
In the fall of 1881 Mr.. O'Hearn was
elected county commissioner for his
district, which Office ho continued to
fill up to the time of his decease. He
was q man Of exemplary character. He
was devoted member Of the Catholic
church, true to all. faithful in all his
trusts, and universally respected. The
sympathies of all who knew him reach
out to the bereaved family, who have
indeed lost kind husband and father.
He leaves his aged mother and STEP

ANOTHER ATTEMPT At RAFE.
Sheriff Gillian of Rock county ar
rived on yesterdays train with pris-
oner named Franklin Walls, who was
committed in default of bail on a
charge of having, on the 23d day of
July at the village OF Luverne, at
tempted to commit 4 rape upon the
person of a six-year-old child named
Maud Joles. lie was turned over to
Sheriff Miller and lodged in the Mobiles
county jail to await the action of the
Rock county grand jury.
The alleged facts are that Walls, a
man about IS years of age, who had
been working in the vicinity of Lu-
verne, stopped at the Luverne House
OH the 23rd. After dinner he went to
the barn where the landlords child
had a swing in TIE loft. lie swung
the child for while and then induced
her to get out of the swing and lie
down on the hay. lie was about to
attempt the outrage when the hostler
caught him in the act and informed
the sheriff as soon as possible, who
arrested the man. There was the
usual excitement and talk ef lynching,
but Sheriff Gillian got lis man ont
of town and concealed him. On the
oath the examination was held, and
the sheriff brought the man to Adrian
and kept him over night. Yesterday
he was brought to Werthington aid
lodged in jail as above stated.
Gov. St. John delivered second
lecture on prohibition on Thursday
night last. He is strong speaker and
undoubtedly is in earnest. But he as
sumed ut the opening and close of his
argument that God is a prohlbitionist
and that lie wants everybody to be a
prohibitionist. This he failed to prove,
or did not attempt to prove. He uses
the stereotyped ministerial tlourfshes
about Goods blessing," and the
Lords work." and this "Clristian
nation" ETC., which would lead a
stranger to suppose that lie was an Or
thodox minister in disguise. St. John
is in favor of amending the Constitu.
ton so as to prohibit the importation
and manufacture of liquor and also
amending it so as to declare this a
'Christi.n nation" His influence is
therefore limited mainly to the church
element.
In coming to Worthington, Gov. st.
John brought his coal to Newcastle.
We all know from ten years experience
as much as he does about prohibition.
lie told US of Vineland and Millville,
N. j., prohibition towns, which are
governed at a nominal expense owing
to the prohibition feature. His intelli-
gent hearers, however, kept thinking
that the attempt to enforce prohibition
in Worthington and Mobiles county
piled up debt which is still unpaid OF
from $40, 900 to $4,000.
Nevertheless, we like to hear such a
man rs St. John talk.
