Mr.. G. j. Conner, who got married last
week, has just returned with his bride from
visit among his friends in Iowa and east
The Rev. j. w. Spafford will leave some
day toward the close of the week, and for a
short time will visit his old home in Illinois.
Muller Post No. 1, G. A. r., will have q
special meeting at their hall on Wednesday
tomorrow evening, to make arrangements
for the encampment.
To-day and tomorrow the Saltwater club
plays the Minneapolis team on the grounds
of the latter. On Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday they play the Muekegon club here.
For the past few days our harbor has pre-
scented very lively appearance, there being
so many steamers in port at one time. They
were OF nearly every size and capacity. Near
ly all were after RATS of logs or lumber.
The water has got down to five feet, and il
it goes down much lower here, it will cause
the owners of river craft to make double
trips, as some of the steamers when having
large RATS have nearly that draft of water.
On Sunday evening fire appeared to be
caught in the western pile of wood at the
flag station next west of Lake Elmo, on the
Omaha road. 1t was making considerable
progress, but no one appeared to be trying tc
extinguish it.
The game yesterday between the Milwau-
kee and Saltwater clubs was postponed on
account of the heavy rain, WHICH began al
II 10 and had not ceased when it was time
to play at O'Clock. The game will be play
ed whenever the two clubs will be disengag-
ed with other clubs.
The new hotel at the cornersof Maine and
Mulberry streets is looming up nicely, and
Mr.. Rosenfieldt, of Nelson 81 Co., the own
ers, is pressing the work speedily to compile
ton. Some idea of its large size may now
be formed. When the brick veneer is up,
it will be most creditable structure, and
quite an addition to Maine street.
On Sunday, one of our bank clerks, and
who is a prominent member of the rowing
club, being oppressed by the heat, took a
header in the lake, owing to the scaley thing
of shell gong out from under him. He
tried to reach the bottom to find cool spot,
but he could not come it, his buoyancy be-
ing SUCH 1t was fortunate the shell was
near, as he could not swim. He had no
farther damage than ducking, except that
he took the starch out of his collar.
Mr.. f. Wilnan, our popular jeweler, has
presented to the management of the German
Catholic fair handsome gold headed ebony
cane, which the ladies will know how to
dispose of to che best advantages 1t is a
beautiful piece of workmanship, and the
1oliac tapHar ba;r tJo,
his valuable gift. This is the kind of spirit
we like to see shown by our business men,
and no doubt others will follow the example
so worthily set by Mr.. Wilman.
We regret to learn of the death, in St.
Paul, of Edward j. Brisley, aged sixteen
years, brother of Harry Brisley, clerk with
Henning q Willard. druggists, in this city.
Young Edward had arrived in this country
from England about six weeks ago, and a
couple of weeks since was attacked with ty-
phoid fever, to which he succumbed on Sun
day evening. He was a bright young lad
and had high hopes of making his way up
wards in this growing country. His brother
here, as well as his two brothers in st. Paul,
have sympathy in their bereavement.
On Sunday, after the game between the
Minneapolis and Saltwater clubs at White
Bear was ended, some of our well known
base ball amateurs, among whom were some
of the officers of our base ball club, wanted
to give the boys of the club some lessons in
catching, not in muffing, as in that they
thought they were were proficient on that
day. In doing so, one of them, most pop
ular and estimabie young gentleman, put his
thumb, as he supposes, out of Joint. Be that
as it may, to-day he is nursing sore thumb.
So much for showing others what they should
do, but which they find in exemplifying,
difficult to themselves.
The excursion on the Fourth of july by
the River Falls people from Hudson to Tay-
Tors Falls promises to be very large one.
The Jennie Hughes will have all she can ac-
com modate, but as she is to have several
large barges in tow, she will be able TO take
all who wish to go. She leaves Hudson at s
O'Clock and Saltwater at her regular hour,
o'clock. She will get back in time for
those who wish to remain over for the grand
ball at the roller skating rink. There is one
good feature of the excursion and that is no
intoxicants will be allowed to be sold on
board the steamer or the barges. This will
add much to the safety of those who enjoy
the pleasant trip.
Yesterday, little before I o'clock p. M,
what might be termed a small tornado, struck
the city The wind appeared TO be driven
from the northwest before dense, dark blue
storm cloud. Dust and lighter articles were
picked up and strewn i'll all directions.
Where windows were open, and they were so
in almost every house, owing TO the OPP
pressive heat, the rooms were filed with dust,
and light articles such as vases blown down
and broken. The force of the wind coming
through rear door in one of the stores on
Main street, burst the front windows out.
The wind was followed almost instantly by a
heavy fall of rain, accompanied by thunder
and lightning. The storm had been brewing
for some time, and as it has cooled the at
mosphere, it has come very acceptably. The
thermometer in the shade was 90 at the
prison, and at other points 90 degrees.
