The Danish..citizens are preparing for a

The railway tracks of the G. b. a @.

There was a report spread about the
street las evening that the grand jury
had decided not to indict DIR. Cross for
killing DR.. McKune. The report seems

1t is now expected that the..waterworks
will be turned on in full by Wednesday
of next week. Steam was turned on and
the centrifugal pumps started a week ago,
and the Knowles pumps will soon be
started, the only wait now being for a
to start these pumps, as they are guaran-
teed to work satisfactory, and the water
works company prefer to have the makers
of the pump start them themselves.
w. j. Henry, of Kansas City, who has
a fire alarm system known by his name,
proposes to put in fifty boxes here for
$4,000, using the present lines. This is
much cheaper than the Gamewell boxes,
but whether they will prove cheaper in
the long run is yet to be determined.
One thing is certain. The city needs a
new fire alarm, badly, and it has already
been shown that there is such a thing as
~extravagant economy. The money ex-
pended ON the present system has been
almost like money thrown away.
Hans Peter Jensen, had his examina-
ton before Justice Vaughn yesterday,
and there was IA cloud Of witnesses from
Bloomer township. There were three
cases against him, but most of the time
was spent in the examination of the
charge of selling mortgaged property.
Witnesses were introduced who testified
that Mr.. Fenerhanken, who held the
mortgage, chad told him to sell it and
Jensen was therefore discharged. The
two other cases were then dropped.
Mueller, whose name is quite familiar
to the public, calls special attention in
other columns to his stock of holiday
goods. His large store indeed seems to
be the headquarters of Santa Claus, and
never before has there been displayed
such a quantity, such a variety, so many
novelties, and such rich goods, as this
season. Everyone should visit Mueller's,
for there can be surely found gifts to
suit friends of all ages and of all tastes.
Drop in and look at thedisplay. 1t speaks
its own praise.
