LOCAL NOTES.

Chickens are ripe to-day.
Remember Big Blunders for Aug. %.
Sharpers cannot fool a La Crosse
Business College graduate. See adj
vertisement.
Prairie chickens are now lawful prey |
The law prohibiting hunters from
tramping down unharvested grain is |
still in force.
The harvest is now generally begun
and if favorable weather is continued
the greatest crop of hard wheat ever
known in Stevens County will soon
be secured.
Notice the new advertisement of
the old and reliable firm of Wolff &
Wells in this issue. Their we'll known
store is filled with new and attractive
goods and to eethem is well worth
visit to the store.
For nearly two hours the speaker
held his vast audience spell-bound one
moment causing his hearers to shed
tears, and in the next convulsing them
with laughter.-Harrisbu Pa Tele-
gram.
The listeners were kept in good
humor and perpetual laughter from
beginning to the peroration, which
latter was most sublime and soul
stirring conception of the author, and
delivered in oratory of SURPRISING elo-
quence.-Boston Mass. Traveller.
For sparkling wit, plain common
sense, deep pathos, keen satire, and
useful suggestion, the lecture was I'M
surpassed. The audience, now unres-
trained in it merriment, now hushed
so that we could hear the clocks
solemn ticking keeping time to the
speakers utterances, Philadelphia
Pa Inquirer.
A few instances have been reported
where tramps have taken advantage
of the absence of gentleman and COM
PEELED ladies to entertain them at
lunch. People should have double
barrelled shot gun or good dog al
ways in readiness for these worthless
specimens of humanity.
Mr.. Talmage is pulpit phenomenon.
HE'S dramatic, and cannot describe
without acting. He has clear in
cisive mind, broad and genial humor
akindly sympathy, vivid imagina-
ton, vehement passion, and every
blow tells.-New York Independent.
The Catholic Parochial schools open
Monday September 3rd~ This school
has had rapid growth since its
organization and is now one of the
important educational factors of our
thriving city. The school will have
the same teachers during the coming
year that it had during the past and
will therefore continue to be character
lied by good affectual work.
Tramps are now quite numerous in
town. This is nothing new or strange
for it is always so at this season of the
year. The beginning of harvest has
made an excuse for their providing
about the country, seeking what they
may devour and searching for work
which they are very careful not to
find. The Marshall must be looking
after them rather sharply as one of
them was heard the other night to say
tthis is the worst town ever struck
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage one of the
greatest living pulpit orators will
lecture in Phoenix Hall Saturday
evening Aug. 18th. Mr.. Talmage is
everywhere known as a lecturer and
the highest prices are paid for his
services. He will keep his audience
in the lecture hall in excitement going
from the tenderest pathos to the
most boisterous mirth. His resources
of mimicry are wonderful. Concern
ing this great lecturer we clip a few
Press notices from among the many
before us which will show how highly
he is esteemed by the public.
Frank Smith of Rendsville had a
lively
ternoon. There seemed to be a diff
ference ofopinion between the horse
and the driver in regard to how near
they should go to an engine on the
crossing at sixth street. When Mr..
S. attempted to enforce his wishes in
regard to a near approach the horse OBJ
jected SO decidedly that Mr.. s. was
completely vanquished, the buggy
broken and another buggy injured
that was standing inoffensively, near
the Wood Harvester head quarters be-
fore the animal was stopped.
Mr.. Talmage has proved that he
can gather regular Sabbath congre-
CATION of five thousand hearers, and
that he can. make himself effectively
heard by that number of people. He
is one of those preachers who really
belong to mankind at large. Most
people who try to describe DIR. Tai
mage begin by saying that he is like
somebody, or unlike somebody else.
Now the fact is that he is not like any
other person at all. He is just ''Tal-
magen all over, with as much marked
individuality as ever was concentra-
ted in any one man.-Union Era.
