Mimi, in the palmy days of Judge Page

in Burleigh county at 81 per acre: Yes
; terday he sold 400 acres to John Rea fol
$4,000, cash. Mr. Hall says the Tribuu'
did this for him by leading him to the in
vestmcnt, encouraging him to hold on
and booming the county. and he therefore
wishes to be counted as life subscriber.

Ind. School District No. -, $500, which
completed the amount due on the church.

&C. II. McClintock and wife, of San
born, Iowa, arrived in Austin last Friday
with the remains of the mother of Mr..
McClintock. The mother died in Sanborn
last acknowledgement sixty-tive years.
She was buried in the family lot in Oak
wood Cemetery in this city. The many
friends of tie relatives in Austin will
sympathize with them in their bereave
ment. They returned to their Iowa home
Saturday. We are glad to hear that Mr..
tive engineer, his run being between San
born and Mitchell, and he says the bust
ness is very heavy on that line this spring
Mr. Rowley. who has so long and
faithfully performed the duties of station
agent and operator in Spring Valley, has
been transferred to Ramsey We are sorry
TO have him leave. Ramsey has had for a
| number Of years one of the most efficient
agents to be found on the S. NJ, Mr.. Gal
aghcr. To fill his place an agent must be
among the best, and we think Mr. Rowlcy
fills the bill. Mr.. Gallagher goes to Sioux
| Falls, and Mr.. King who has long been
the agent at Dexter, comes to Spring Val
ley.-Sprimg Vulley Mercury.
Joseph Gallagher has been promoted to
the station at Sioux Falls. 1t is true that
Joe is one of the most efficient agents in
the employ of the c., NJ. & St. p. Co., and
we are glad he has been advanced. He
deserved it.
| Nancy Taopi, wife of the late Sioux
Indian chief and scout, died at her home
in Faribault on the 22d ult, at the age of
about 60 years. OF Taopi and his wife
the Drnocrmt says: "Taopi's services to
the whites during the Indian outbreak,
were very faithful and heroic, emitting
him to the lasting gratitude of the people
of Minnesota. AT one time he was instru-
mental in saving the lives of ESQ white
| captives. His wife Nancy, now deceased
| was faithful Christian woman, who sor-
! rowfully felt the sad condition of her
turn from their ways of barEarism and
become Christian men and women"
The village of Taopi, in this county,
was founded by Faribault capitalists,
and we imagine they named the place
after this good Indian woman, Nancy
!! Taopi.
COMPANY G.-Col. Boblcter of New
Clm, was in the city last Wednesday,
He was sent here to inspect Company G.
Austin National Guards. The Company
had to undergo inspection in military
tactics before it could draw the appro-
priation of $500 from the state. The
boys passed through the ordeal without a
scratch, and the Col. carried away with
him very favorable impression Of Co. G.
The $500 will be sent to the Co. i'm
mediately, and it is expected the same
will be used to purchase uniforms. The
Company will also be furnished with a
bran new set of rifles, the present ones to
be returned to the State Arsenal and kept
in reserve for the next company of raw
recruits. Captain Anderson is proud of
Co. G., and he has a right to be.
Austin may not be very much of a
place as compared with St. Paul, but she
has some booming men who are doing
their share toward booming St. Paul.

Wheeler, r. B. Wheeler and e. b. Crane

large real estate transactions; j. Solner,
