Sad Drowning Accident.

yesterday shortly before noon Mrs.
81 Lyon suddenly missed her little
ooy' Willie J. Lyon, aged two years
ana nine days, and search was inn
meolately begun In the neighborhood
OF the residence OIL the west side Of
Lake Allied. There is thick brush
over considerable area in the vicini-
(which was closely searched by many
friends ofthe family. About O'Clock
they concluded to drag the lake, and
getting ladder hooks from the hook
and ladder company, VIM. Culvert
look a boat and Dan Sullivan and A.
Z. cooper manned another. and rowed
TO q point near Mr.. Lyons house.
they had not dragged five minutes
when Mr.. Culvert drew up his hook
and found it fast in the little boys
clothes. He was lying on the bottom
IN about five feet of water, and eighteen
feet from shore. There is here path
down very steep bank to the water's
edge, and the child must have fallen
and rolled down this steep incline, the
force of his fall carrying him off from
shore to the distance at which he was
found. ,....
Mrs. Lyon was almost frantic with |
grief, and Mr.. Lyon. who was working
at Pages mill, was sadly stricken by |
the sorrowful news when it was con-
veyed to him. Funeral services were |
held at the house last evening by Rev.
II. N. Adams, who made very touch
ing address upon the text: "Suffer
Little Children to Come Unto Me,
For of Such is the Kingdom of Heay-

the remains to-day to Morris, their

The Olive Branch in it's last issue
thanks one gifts readers for water
melon, delicious to the taste and at
tractive to the eye. Further it copies
one of the TRIBUNE's locals and fol-
lows tup with what seems conclusive
proof of the fact that the water
melon produced one of the worst
cases of collie of the season. We hope
that reader has no serious designs up
on the life of the Olive Branch man

The following sound advice from
the Graceville Transcript is as good
for the people Of Stevens county as for
those of Big Stone:
Our farming community should not
neglect their county fair. Specimens
of products, however humble. all serve
to create pride in home exhibitions.
How often do you hear the remark at
county fairs, "Had l brought in this
or that, it would have beaten any
thing exhibited" There is scarcely a
farmer or farmers wife in this vicinity
but has something worthy of exhibit
tiol' at county fair. 1t is not so
much in curiosity, but in useful every
day things, that the people who attend
fairs are interested. Attend, take
your children, and enter such pro-
ducts as you may have

J. E. Danielson is keeping up his
well earned reputation for thrift,
energy and enterprise. A few days
ago he returned from the cities with
an immense stock Of new goods for
the Fall and Winter trade. One thing
quite noticeable in his store now and
something that he has never kept be-
fore, is a fine assortment of ready
made clothing. The stock of gents
furnishing goods is complete in every
particular. In ladies cloaks and dress
goods there is also full line of the
best quality of goods. There are
ginghams, prints, f1annels, chelsea
changeable batiste, plaids, velvets
and veiveteens are to be seen upon his
shelves, of every kind and description.
The plaids and velvets promise to he
very popular this season and Mr..
Danielson has prepared himself in add
vance for the trade. Another quite
noticeable feature in the store is the
stock of zephyrs, yarns, hosiery and
ribbons.
The boot and shoe department has
always been speciality, and the new
stock Of goods now OH hand shows
that this department Is by no means
to be neglected in the future.
1t has often been wonder to us
how Mr.. Danielson could get such i'm
mense stocks of goods into the amount
of space his store furnishes. The store
is large but the stock of goods is lar
ger. There are always special features
to the stock of interest and it will pay
person well to visit the store. You
will always find Mr.. Danielson or his
clerks ready to show you what there
is to be seen and make your visit pro-
fitable and interesting.

When we first read the item the
idea that something was wrong &C.
cured to us: we read it again and be-
gan to think the paper was endeayqr-

of itself. Upon inquiry we learn that
the rate on grain to Duluth has been
reduced exactly the same as the rate
to Minneapolis. There are many
things about the railways which the
paper up the street can criticise if it is
so disposed, but, fpossible, it should
learn to be truthful.

LoNGvIEw, June l5-Our county
commissioners, in their care of the
courthouse, are having considerable
fault found with their action. To pay
Off a small courthouse Indebtedness
they levied tax which brought into
that fund over $1,000 in excess of the
Indebtedness, which was all collected.
This amount they have loaned to the
other funds of the county, leaving the
courthouse u. seated, unlighted and
unfurnished. BY unlighted is meant
that, whatever occurs in the court
room after dark must be seen
by the aid of borrowed lamps
and chandeliers. There are
no conveniencies in the jury room; TO
write verdict the foreman of jury
must hold his paper against the plas-
tered wall. Judge +. ]. McCord has
furnished the judges with their seat
since the building was finished. Our
courthouse is one of the finest in the
state, and this "penny-wise and
pound-foolish" policy in its furnishing
Is not satisfactory to Gregg county's
voters.
