Both he and his wife neglected to take
with them a gold watch, some small jew

not neglect to take them, and Mr.. Christie
wonders who that thoughtful man can be.

only a couple of days previous to the fall
ling of the building in which were Mr..
Solners goods. Charley was faithful
clerk and enjoyed the confidence and es-
teen of his employer and his numerous
friends in Austin. He has accepted
good position in the dry goods store of
Geo. w. Hale & Co., Minneapolis, and
that he will give the best of satisfaction
we have not the least doubt.
Rev. Nittridge Wheeler, brother of
Mrs C. H. Davidson, arrived last Satur
day With his family to spend part of
his vacation in this city. Mr.. Wheeler
was here last fall day or two. Since
then he has accepteda call to Te,re Haute,
Ind, and is now the pastor of a large
tlourishing Baptist church in that city
He will remain week or two and enjoy
the rest which the repese of Austin, the

Owing to the fall of the buildings
about which so much is said just now, we
arc compelled to resort to our old hand
press which has stood idle for years.
There has been so little time in which to
clean and oil it, and to make roller,
that we greatly fear the TRANSCRIPT will
not appear as neatly printed this week as
usual. Bear with us, please. Accidents
occur when least expected and least pre-
pared for. If we could have had a weeks
notice our present issue would look as
nice as we intend the next one will.
Teach the boys and girls to swim, for
the chances are always in favor of the
swimmer. That good swimmers are some
times drowned is no argument that one is
as safe in the water without the accom-
plishment. Indeed, a good swimmcrcan't
drown himself. The weights attached to
suicides are attached less often to- conceal
the corpse than to overcome the inevita-
bic impulse to swim when one is in
dangerous water. The art of swim
ming is easily acquired. It may not
always be efficacious, but it will lend
confidence and presence of mind and
when in the dangers of the river and the
lake and we will have fewer Of those sad
notices of drowning which every summer
brings.
w. W. Coles great circus exhibited
in this city last Friday. Notwithstanding
the beautiful haying weather, there was
a goodly number from the country. and
the show was we'll patronized. Indeed,
it ought to have been; for it was first
class in all its features, There was a
noticeable absence of soiled, tawdry cos
tunes, and of stale, time consuming
jokes and songs by the. clowns. The
animals we're clean and in excellent con-
dl,ion. Among them were several rare
ones, each of which it was worth the
whole price of admission to see. Mr..
Coles reputation as great Snowman will
not suffer at all by his parade and per-
Torrance; there was general expression
of satisfaction on the part of those who
attended.
