Mr.. Dunbar, has been sick, and unable
to attend to the duties of the office for

applicants for the position are MIR.
Criswell, the station agent, and Mrs. Dun
bar, the wife of the present T. M.

Daniel B. German died Of paralysis,
at Webster. Day Co., Dakota, Jan: 10,
after an illness of ten days, in the fifty
fourth year of his age. He came from
the east to London Township, Freeborn
Co., Mimi. in 1856, and for many years
was one of the most prosperous farmers
in the county, and man OF prominence
in the community where he resided. tie
moved to Austin in 1S79 and for two
years was proprietor OF the "Windsor

sons in Dakota. He leaves wife and
five boys to mourn his loss.
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR BALL.-The ball
given by St. Bernard Commandery, at
the new court house hall, proved to be an
enjoyable and fairly successful affair. 81
couples were present. Among the guests
G. w. Hard and wife, w. NJ. Foote and
wife, all of Preston; Eminent Comman-
der Kirk, Captain General Pannock, and
Mr.. Dyer Of Dyer's hotel, Mason City
Mayor Birkett, Mr. Grant and wife, from
Owatonna; Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Fobes,
Mr. Parker and lady, from Albert Lea.

| -AssIGMNENT.-LaStW week, to the great
regret of his many friends, Henry Jacobs
felt compelled to make an assignment of
his business effects for the benefit of his
creditors. Liabilities are estimated at
$500. Assets and book accounts, at
SO, 400. Mr.. Jacobs has made hard
struggle, under most adverse circum-
stances, having been compelled to move
his place of business three times within
six months, to sustain himself. Mr.. Jacobs
is an old settler and business man, having
established the first exclusive clothing
house in Austin more that 20 years ago,
and in this embarrassment has the conf
dence and sympathy of all who know
him. 1t is hoped some arran cement may
be made so that he will be able to resume
business.
Matt Miles made flying visit home
Saturday to renew ACQUAINTANCE with his
family and arrange to move to Lacrosse
| Wis. He says all the Postal Clerks on
the s. M. line will be obliged to remove
to Lacrosse if they expect to be with
their families, as one of the Clerks has
been taken from the line, which prevents
the boys having lay-oH so they can get
to their homes. 1t does not seem RICH,
to us that the force should be cut on this
route, which is one of the longest in the
9th division, being $50 miles from La
Crosse, Wis, to Sioux Falls, D. T.. the
Clerk being on duty 20 and 81 hours every
trip. We do not believe the P. @. De
partment wishes the Superintendent tt
reduce the force on such line as this t
save the Government $1,000 per year ant
add 81 200 per year to tie expenses o
the Postal Clerks. which it does in thi
case, as it conpels our boys to leave thei
pleasant homes and friends to becom
cit zens of Wisconsin, and we objec
to it.
AN ELEGANT OFFICE. tn
