in town. AS he wishes to move to the
far west he is now advertising his
present home for sale. 1t seems
strange to us that he should wish to
part with such pleasant place but as
he has placed it in the market the
property will no doubt find ready sale.

There cannot be much doubt that
the favorable returns from crops, this
season, will give Minnesota something
of a boom. Much money has been
anXiously waiting the results of our
harvest, and now that the vast fields
have Welded all that was expected of
them, and in many cases much more,

of business in all lines. Our harvest
has been as good an advertisement for
immigration, as could be asked for,
and the news of it has spread far and
wide. ALI things considered the pros
poets for our financial advancement as
a people and a state were never more
promising than at the present time.
Kerl & Watzke have made an i'm
portant addition to their blacksmith
shop upon 9th street. Two brick
chimneys have been made to conduct
the smoke from the furnaces and
among other additions to the material
in the shop they have a machine for
setting tires which enables them to do
that work more easily, in less time
and in better manner than ever
before. Both members of the firm are
skillful workmen. Both are royal
good fellows and the TRIBUNE re-
joices in their prosperity.
Threshing and stacking were inter-
rupted for few days by the rain of
last Friday but as yet there has been
little or no injury to the grain. Com
mendable haste has been made by the
majority of the farmers in securing
crops, and the great bulk of the grain
of the county has already been stacked
or threshed. Consequently the dam
ger of serious loss on account of the
Fall rains is past. Rain now will aid
in putting the ground in good con-
dition for blowing and will result in
benefit rather than injury.
Rev. J. F. Chaffee, Presiding Elder
upon this district conducted quarterly
meeting services in the Methodist
church last Sabbath, preaching morn
ing and evening. Mr.. Chaffee is one
of the ablest ministers in the state and
his sermons are always characterized
by the fullness of practical thought
and the directness and precision with
which they are expressed. The SER
mons of last Sabbath were not eXcep-
tional ones in this respect and all who
heard them enjoyed an intellectual
treat.

The Metropolitan Hotel does moi
/ contain sufficient number of sleep
, ing rooms to accommodate the patron
. age which the house enjoys. To par
TALLY meet the demand for increased
. sleeping accommodations the upper
story of C. J. Croonquist's store has
been rented by Mr.. Bemis divided
into convenient sleeping apartments
furnished with the same elegance anG
and good taste which prevails in the
main building, and has transformed il
into an important addition to the

In accordance with notices posted 6
meeting of the voters of school dis.
trict No. (Morris) was held at the
school house for the purpose of deter

district or not. After a few brie

change is to be desired, and we are
pleased to announce that this impor
tant step in advance is to be taken.
