The steamer Moeler left yesterday morning

The steamer Moeler left yesterday morning
with raft of logs for points south.
The Hon. g. w. Anderson and wife leave
They lecture there in the evening.
The water is stationary here, and it is ex-
pected to rise little in few days, the rains
OF late having increased the water in the
streams tributary to the st. Croix.
DR.. Carroll and family leave this evening
for the east, his summer vacation having be-
gun. They will be away about month. The
doctor lectures in different cities while away.
At the municipal court this morning there
was only one case before Judge Netheway.
D. Caldwell, Of Lakeland, was up for selling
liquor without license. Sentence was sus-
pended.
Tonight there will be grand turnout at
the roller skating rink, the cool weather re-
viving it up again. For the past two nights
there has been q large attendance. The band
plays tonight.
The water at Taylors Falls is stationary. 1t
is down pretty low, but the rains which fell
in the upper section of the county drained
by the st. CroiX are expected to increase its
volume shortly.
Tbs Hon. G. w. Anderson and wife will
deliver addresses tonight in Holton, at the
opposite end Of the bridge from this city.
Mrs. Anderson's address already given here
has stirred up great enthusiasm, and the
meeting tonight will no doubt be very large.
The lecture Monday evening in the NJ. E.
church on ''Sharp Teeth by Mrs. Anderson,
was listened to by large and appreciatiye
audience. The lecture hit pretty hard, and
the Sharp Teeth were used quite extensively
on the so-caled lords of creation. Her hits
at the drinking follies were most pointed.
She held her audience. and not a word APP
peared to be lost
Yesterday forenoon the bridge pontoon was
open at one time two and one-half hours, and
at another one and one-half hours, making a
total Of four hours in one forenoon. This is
fully more than human endurance can bare.
And the cause of this was,a number of picked
up logs were left in the channel from the
previous day, just below the bridge, and RATS
of logs coming down had the very greatest
difficulty in getting past. We wonder, could
the boom company find out who are respon-
sible for the logs being left in such a posi-
ton.
BY request the Hon. G. W. Anderson de-
livered his celebrated lecture on ''Abraham
Lincoln" in the M. E. church last evening.
His "reminiscences Of Lincoln were interest
ing in the extreme, and his description of his
being one of the loved presidents body
guards from Newbury, N. Y, during the
troublesome times of the late civil war, was
depicted in an easy manner, and the hearers
could picture the whole journey. The lee
turer was one of the boys who wore the blue
through the rebellion, and knew whereof he
spoke. The lecture was an admirable one,
and much that was new in reference to the
patriot, Lincoln, was given.
Yesterday morning the body of a man
named Hans j. Hanson was found near Cor
neian lake, some five miles from the city.
Coroner Merrill was called upon to investi-
gate, but upon making due inquiries he came
to the conclusion that an inquest was not
required. 1t appears that Hanson, who is
fifty years of age, was living with his son-in-
law, A Gould, who lives on the shore of
rCornelian lake, just inside the town of Ma
rine. On June 9th he left home and came to
the city, and next day son of his saw him
on the way home as he supposed, but he
never reached it, Since then search has been
continuous for him. and yesterday morning
his body was found in clump of bushes,ver
much discomposed, very little of the flesh re-
naming. The doctor could not discover
whether it was case of suicide or not. His
money was intact In his purse, and in wal
let he had was a note for 500. He had a
handkerchief round his neck, but it did not
appear to be tight enough to cause strangul-
alton. He also had knife in his pocket but
it was shut. He had been in poor health for
some time and was respondent. and often
had expressed wish to die. The body was
inferred yesterday afternoon.
We clip the following from the Erie (Pa.)
Eve',i,tg Observer, and it cannot fail to be of
interest TO many of our citizens, as it shows
the opinion held of the superintendent of
our schools in Cory, Pa, where he taught so
many years. Pref. Curtis addressed the
graduating class, which consists of seven
boys and seven girls, all of whom had been
under his instruction before his coming to
Saltwater: "One of the great attractions of
the evening was the appearance Of the IA
miliar face of Prof V. G. Curtis on the stage.
The audience could hardly realize that he
was but visiting friend. For years, in fact
almost from the organization of cur public
schools, Mr.. Curtis has been the central fig
ure at exercises of this kind. In making
the address to the class he said that he did
not feel as though he was addressing stran-
gers as he had known them from the time
they entered the primary classes, and had
been in daily intercourse with them until the
past year. Mr.. Curtis gave the class much
good advice He has lost none of his inter
est in school matters, but seems TO have ac-
quired new life and zeal, in the cause while
absent from us. We looB to him as the father
of our schools, and hope he may long live to
see the growth and prosperity Of the princi-
pies he has for years sown broadcast here"
