Hon. E. w. Durant returned yesterday

Mrs. E. Donovan, corner Of Myrtle and

tonville, Wis, owing to the serious sickness
of her mother.
The scaffolding for the erection of the
tower at the part of the prison was begun
yesterday, and the tower will be pushed to
completion.
The Gazette-Sw, Office in this city has now
plant equal to any in the northwest The
two offices have amalgamated, which will
bring big business to Clewell 81 Easton, the
proprietors.
We understand that Rev. w. w. Harring-
ton, prison chaplain, will not leave for the
Pacific slope as intended, but Mrs. Har-
rington is expected to leave, owing to the
state of her health.
The coal men and stove men are reaping
harvest at present, and are as busy as they
possibly can be, the weather having got de-
cidedlyp chilly, which is felt the more after
the excellent fall weather we have had.
Mr.. D. j. Harris, who was so long with the
firm Of c. N. Nelson & Co., has entered into
partnership with Mike Long in the restaurant
business. Bully for Harris; but won't they
make it go. We welcome him back to the
city.
The inside work of the new cell rooms will
be soon completed, and number of con-
vets will have new quarters The steam
heaters will have full play to dry the plaster
ing that has got to be done. 1t is well that
the roof was completed before Sundays rain.
Yesterday morning there was an extra
number at the s 40 train on the Omaha road,
the departure of number of men for the
shanties being the cause of their comrades
congregating to see them off. Mr.. John
O'Brien, of Anderson 81 O'Brien, was in
charge of his men. There were also several
who went for Sauntry, Tozer s. Pennington,
| who join those already in the woods.
The female prisoners who were taken to
| the Dakota county Jail at Hastings when the
fire occurred last winter, were returned yes
terday to their new quarters in the prison,
| and more comfortable or better ventilated
ones they could not get anywhere. Five
were taken away, but only three arrived yes
| terday, as one had been discharged, and an
| other came back some time ago. They will
be pleased with the change.
| Mr.. B. McSweeney, who has barber shop
| and bath rooms on Main street. has been
| thoroughly renovating his establishment. He
| has Northey Bros. putting down for him one
of the most handsome floors we have yet
seen in the city, which is made of various
strips of black walnut and maple, each strip
two and one-half inches wide, the different
shades of the wood making fine contrast.
| He has also had new sink put in, and
which matches his tasty cuprack. The cell
ing is deliberately finished, the whole making
fine looking tonsorial parlor.
| Politics are hot, but the Hon. E. w Durant
keeps perfectly cool, as he leaves his election
in the hands of the people, and if they wish
to send him he is willing to serve. He did
not wish to run, but both Republicans and
Democrats united in having him as q candi-
date. In this election he knows no party,
but is a candidate in the interests of Still
water, whose interests will have to be espe-
cially watched at the next session of the
legislature. AS to the ability of Mr.. Durant
no one can say word, as his own business
| is hourishing, and a business man is required
at this iuncture of the affairs of the city.
Which of the two candidates, Mr.. Dursnt or
Mr. Peterson, will best carry legislation in
favor of this city, and which can have most
influence in making friends for us! Mr..
Durant is well known in every part of the
state, and being largely connected with its
business interests, he would naturally be the
one that could do the most for this county,
and Saltwater in particular. There are cities
in the state that would like to have this city
put back, and representatives from these
points must be met by one who will be able
to checkmate whatever is detrimental TO the
best interests of saltwater and Washington
| county.
