The Austin Cornet Band, Prof. An
drew leader, has been designated by Col.
Bobleter, as the Second Regiment band,
as we see by the Pioneer Press. A week
or two ago a Waseca paper stated that
the Albert Lea band had been selected
but we are glad to know that this state
ment was unauthorized and that an aus
tin band has carried off the honors. Prof.
Andrew and his faithful co-laborers are to
be congratulated. They will attend the
encampment at New Ulm, commencing,
we believe, July 9th. The band will ap-
pear in bran new uniforms. the same be-
ing ordered through Cheap Charley OF
this city, and have already arrived.
The Austin TRANSCRIPT is nov printed by
steam. and the editor thereof boastingly says
it is the first paper In Mower county thus
printed. The Journal has been printed by
Journal.
We thought some might consider it
worth boasting about. We have no idea,
though, Mr.. Journal, that it will add one
dot of influence to our paper. or clothe
one idea in finer language, or bring us
new subscriber, or retain an old one.

They want reliable news, and all the
news there is going. So long as the paper
is printed we'll and promptly, the kind of
power used is of little consequence.
The Hon. w. H. Officer, of Austin,
was in St. Cloud yesterday and met the
Council last evening. Mr.. Officers visit
was to arrange concerning the issue of the
bonds voted by the city in aid of the St.
Cloud, Mankato & Austin road. He in
forms us that he has received information
from the CONSTRUCTION Company that en-
gineers will be on in few days to go over
the ground and stake out the line, and
that he has no doubt but that work on
grading and track laying will be begun
within thirty days. If the read is to be
completed this year, as he hears it is to
be, work will probably be begun from
St. Cloud, Austin and Mankato at once.
Freedom is to provide the last 1000 of
the required bonus, the former opponents
of this additional aid being now in favor
Of it.-Journal, Nay II.
Died, in this city, last Friday morn
ing, Mrs. Clara O. Makepeace, at the resi-
dence of her mother, Mrs. Melinda Ames.
| Last November Clara was married to
Jessie Makepeace, son of Mrs. A: H. Hill,
| Of this city. They went to St. Paul, she
remaining until about two months ago.
Failing health made her long for her
| mothers home, with its tender love and
care, and so she returned to Austin, only
to die. She was laid away last Saturday
IN Rose Creek cemetery beside three
children buried there by Mrs. Ames about
four years ago with diphtheria. Rev.
Wright conducted the services at the
home. Clara was % years of age, her
birthday occurring tomorrow. She was
well known in this community, having
many friends who sorrow that death
should claim her as it's victim so soon. W
Friday. evening, May 1ts,18s3, was
the 25th anniversary OF, the Welding of
Mr.. and Mrs Charles Lamb, of Frank
ford; and accordingly their neighbors and
friends came into the Lamb mansion, in
the shank of the evening unawares; and
deposited as tokens of goodwill and
kindly remembrance the following: Sill

yer Cake Holder, from a. L. Bush, G. w.
Wood, III. j. Lockwood, B. Wright and
I. Taylor; Silver Pickle Castor, from Will
liam j. Lamb. The occasion was one
ford people; and the attention that all
received from the great breeder of Short
Horns, added largely to the common en-
ioyment. And thus Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb

floor to the first. He was engaged in
wheeling brick, and it's said the accident
was caused by the carelessness of fellow
workman. He was supposed to be very
badly injured at the time, but we are
glad to learn that he is now able to be
out and is fast recovering.

a defective ladder, and was considerably
bruised.
One day last week one of the orna
mental cut stones, while being holsted tc
it's position on the west portico, slipped
from it's bearings and fell to the stone
steps, breaking the stone and four of the
