HENDERSON, Oct. 9.-Things are very quiet
here in Henderson in business way the farmers
not feeling in hurry to market crops at present
prices. The remarkably fine crop of corn pro-
duced this year more than compensates for the
low price of wheat and is particularly welcome to
farmers of this section as large portion OF S!b-
ley county is more devoted to stock raising than
to wheat. The Touring mill is doing excellent
work and is running on full time. They are
obliged to ship in much OF their wheat from
abroad. Last evening the Republicans of Hen
derson met and went through their annual
wrestle FOR the privilege of going to the Repub-
lican cotnty convention which is to be held this
year at Arlington and will occur Saturday,
just one day after the Democracy have named
the candidates who are TO be elected. The
only item of interest connected with the last
nights caucus was the selection of del
egates who were in favor of the Hon.
j. C. Stoever for the legislature.
This was accomplished by a very handsome
majority full delegation being selected in favor
OF Stoever and should he receive the nomination
there will be lively skirmish for his election as
he Is personally very popular and will draw
great many Republican votes. He is an ex-
member having represented his county several
years ago and made at that time an excellent re-
cord.
The splendid residence of August Poehler,
Esq, at the head of Main street presents i'm
posing and attractive appearance. 1t is brick
building erected the past season.
The Independent is about being sold at forced
sale. Mr.. Picket sold last spring to Mcleod 10
Dodge, Mcleod soon after removing to Airing
Ton and established paper there. Withdrawing
his capital from the Independent Mr. Dodge was
unable to meet his payments and the paper will
again pass into the hands of Mr.. Picket who
does not desire to continue longer residence
Henderson on IF he
retlres from the Office of register of deeds this
| fall and viii iremove to Los Angeles, Cal.
The Independent has always been one of the
most successful country papers in Minnesota,
and in The hands of person who had capital
enough to purchase it would prove splendid
! Investment. There is only active paper in
the county, and it would be sure to secure the
bulk of the patronage from the citizens of Sibley
| county. A little building has been done in Hen
derson this year, not anything like building
boom, but generous, healthy growth.
| The Andrews Opera company appeared here
last evening in Balf's sparkling opera OF "Sleep-
| ing Queen A very fair audience assembled
] and very pleasing entertainment was given,
| although the full strength of the company was
| not brought out. Herr Louis Knocke as Philippe
| D Agrieler had fine chance to develop the
splendid qualities of his voice. and did some very
| fine acting. He certainly possesses a
| tenor of more than the usual degree
of merit and is particularly fine in the upper reg
| lister. Mr.. George Andrews, the Regent, was
well suited to the part and made very fine i'm
preston by the deep, rich qualities of his voice
and his splendid acting. Mr.. Ed Andrews, as the
Queens Notary, was, usual, perfectly irresist-
able in his droleries. His Interpretation of the
part and his interpretations were such as to con-
vulse the house again and again. Mr. E. Her
bert, as the Captain of the Guard, was very fine
and showed himself possessed of a rich, full
tenor voice, that in baritone parts was wonderful
in its power and purity. The only two lady parts
| of prominence are the Queen of Leon and the
! Donna Agrus maid of honor. The former was
taken by Miss Hattie Rosenberg and the latter by
| Mrs. Z. Andrews. As the Queen, Miss Rosen-
berry was extremely fine and her vocalization ex-
| cellent Her pure, rich soprano voice is in per-
feet control and in obligato parts is Of very dis
tinctiye and pleasing cast. AS an actress she
has much native talent and assumes the role with
degree of confidence which forbids failure.
| Mrs. Andrews in her role, which is probably the
most difficult one of the entire party, displays
genuine dramatic ability, and as singer shows
| herself the possessor of grand contralto voice
with singular power for high, pure soprano
| tones. Taken as awhole the opera was well
rendered and with the stage and its settings,
full chorus and fine piano accompaniment, as
it will have at Mankato on Saturday night, the
Sleeping Queen will be an interesting and very
| pleasing opera
