THE LAKE ON THE RAMPAGE
The 'oldest Inhabitants" say that
Okabena lake was higher last week, af-
ter the heavy rain Of Thursday night,
than it has been since the town was To-
Gated on its banks. Above the cream
cry it ran over the bank in a stream 40
feet wide, and OH the east side, during
the high wind, 1t tore iuto the bank
like ''stcam Irisl.man" The bank
on both sides of the bridge is gradually
mario wing, and at this rate must dis
appear and let the lake up to the rail
road track.
In order to save the east bank and
bring the lake under control the Coun-
Gil have ordered Il ditch five or six feet
wide to be cut at the foot Of 2d-av. and
bulk head and fume to be put into
the lake beach. BY this means, it is
thought, the depth Of water in the lake
can he regulated. When the Zine
fgger Of 4" lake gets on the rampage, -
as Joe Gargary would say, the gates
can be opened and the water lowered.
Fears are sometimes expressed that
Okabena lake will gradually dry up,''
as the boy said to his pa, but these fears
are groundless. When a few days rain
will fill it to overlooking, there will al
ways be water enough to keep it up to
low water mark at least, and a very
little outlay will keep the shore on the
east side in such repair that Okabena
lake will last as long as Worthington.

lOUNG S7OCh.
Chas. Hillreth and Mr.. Uegeman
have been up north buying stock. They
returned few days ago with 81 head
of young cattle which have been put on
the Peabody place to he pastured where
there are now 12S head. This looks
b@tter than selling off the young stock
and sending them out Of the county.
n gentleman who came down the
road the other day informs us that he
passed two train loads of cattle going
out from Southwestern Minnesota. OF
course there must be some sales all the
time, but we hope soon to see all the
young stock held here until grown and
ready for market.
We learn that Messrs. Peabody &
l1egeman expect to open quite a stock
farm on the Ochaeda place which they
now own. This place was formerly
considered the best farm in the county.
1t lies on Ocheeda lake, two and half
miles from town, and is abundantly
supplied with water and grass.

Trenton Globe: We urge every
holder of county warrants to bring
them forward at once and have them
recorded. 1t will cost them but little
time and no money and affords the
only means by which the exact
amount of warrants outstanding can
be found out. They can not find out
from the records kept by the county.
The committee must rely upon those
who hold the warrants to give them
this information. If they do not get
it in this way their report is apt to be
incorrect. IF necessary they should
advertise and go to every district in
the county. In that way, by making
a thorough canvass, they may be able
to make an accurate report of the in.
debtedness of the county.

The New EvapOratOr.

Mr.. Wills Harrison has his fruit
and vegetable evaporator at work
now, and he is turning out some beau.
tiful fruit. A sample of apples sent
to us are as pretty as we ever saw.
The machine has a capacity of fifty
bushels per day. He will dry fruit
one half for the other, and is now
making contracts to that effect. This
will bring more money than can be
made on it if sold at present prices, as
apples will turn out from eight to
twelve pounds per bushel and are
worth twelve to fourteen cents per
pound when dried in this manner.
We hope to see much of the surplus
of this section worked up and saved,
and this is the very way to do il.
Let Mr.. Harrison be kept busy now
until the season is over and many
dollars will be saved here.

Alleged Fatal Poisoning.

der the charge of poisoning the FAM
lily of Ike Miller, colored, on Mayor
Hale's farm three miles west of town.
On last Monday night child of Mil.
lor's went to bed apparently well, and
was found dead next morning. This
was supposed to be sudden death
from natural causes, and nothing
wrong was suspected. Miller and his
wife were both slightly bilious, and
were under the treatment of DR..
Bledsoe, who left several doses of
cinchonidia for them, and which was
given them at intervals of three hours
by Green. Yesterday Miller and his
wife showed symptoms of opium poi.
soning, when the doctor was called in
and did all he could for them. We
hear this morning that Miller's wife
died last night, but that he was re.
covering. Green has told two or
three stories about the matter, and all
is yet uncertain. We give the above
as we heard it this morning, not be.
ing able to get full particulars.

wonder is how they found out he was
here, as he came without warning.
