Stut,cGter Notes.
The G. B. Knapp left early yesterday

The Robert Dodds arrived from st. Louis
yesterday afternoon, and is now at Schulen-
burg & Boeckler's mill.
The Kit Carson arrived yesterday morning
ana left with a raft OF logs for the Burlington
Lumber company, Burlington, la.
Mr.. Fred McKusick and family leave to-
day for a lengthy vacation. Mrs. McKu-
sick will be left at a ranch some sixteen
miles above St. CroiX Falls, whilst Free will
proceed north fishing and hunting.
Judge Netheway and Mrs. Netheway re-
turned on Saturday afternoon from week
sojourn, at Brownton, Mcleod county. They
are both much improved in health, and the
judge shows that ne was considerably ex-
posed To the rays of Old Sol. When it is
learned that he shot l42 chickens and IS
ducks. he must have been out considerably.
His friends here know that he got the chick
ems and ducks, as he did not forget to send
them round u share.
At the roller skating rink, on Saturday
evening, there was a large attendance,
among whom were many strangers. We
observed Messrs. Barnen and Jones, as well
as Misses Richardson and North, from Hud
son. Some young boys, whom the police
have been trying to catch for some time,
narred the plea sure somewhat by throwing
some eXceedin ely stale eggs, which
bespattcred several of the company. Mr..
PaEmeiee caught one Of .he boys, who gave
the names Of the gang, and how they stole
the eggs, with what they have been doing for
some time back. He let the boys go, but
this morning a number Of them will inter
view Judge Netheway, and will get the law
put 20 them so strongly that they will not try
the business for some time. We hope the
gan will be broken up.
Or. Carroll occupied his pulpit In the Pres
byterian church yesterday morning and
evening, and in the morning preached on
''the greatness and glory of the Christian
work" 1t was one of the best sermons the
doctor has preached here, and his subject
was treated in mastery and philosophic
manner. His text was Neh. 4: 10, "The
work is large'' The speaker said, it was a
theme whose brightness might dazzle an
angels eye, and whose far heights might
challenge an angels flight! The greatness
of the work appeared-First, from the mind
that projected it, its seal of glory was the i'm
primateur Of Deific mind. Second, from the
work contemplating moral conquest. Third,
from filing the earth with trophies. Fourth,
from the pcrpetuity of its effects. Fifth,
from its influence on human happiness.
Lastly, from its revelation of Gods charac-
ter 70 other beings on His universe. Sev-
eral lessons were drawn, the principal one
being: The character to which our work
should form us. The sermon was charac-
tcrzed by profound thought and solemn ap-
plication. The subject OF the evening was
''IIarycsts past" The music was led by
Mr.. Henry Stryker as precentor, who in
fused much life and good time in the sing
ing. There was full congregation present.
1t appears our notes of the dirty condi-
ton of the city has troubled the ''responsi-
bic party who runs the p. p, and we are
pleased that it has done so. No one denies
that this is healthy city; but nature has
done that for it, and this city should be en-
tirely free from disease if the city authorities
would stretch forth their hands and help
dame nature. Take the block of buildings
directly in front of the office of the health
inspector, as well as of the responsible
party who runs the p. p, and unless they
have stronger than the common nasal or
gans they can not but confess that our state
ment as to filth and sewerage was true.
Those living there have no sewerage, and all
kinds OF filth is being dumped in their back
yards. A day or two ago there were five
eases of typhoid fever in the city hospital,
with numbers of cases throughout the city.
There should not be a case here, as. any city
situated As this, on a limestone foundation,
with plenty opportunities for sewerage, should
be a long way ahead of other places in health
statistics. Twenty deaths in the city last
month, out of population of IL, 69S in the
city proper, is larger per centage than II
should be, although it is smaller in proper
ton to that of other cities of a like popula-
ton, yet it is nearly 10 per cent. of the en-
tire population for the year. We daily heal
the matter talked about, but no one blames
Dir. Merrill, the health officer, who is prompt
TO remedy any cases OF complaint made
Let him 90 around the corner of the inspec,
tor generals Office when the wind is blowing
from the east, and if his olfactory organs
don't get strong dose we are much mis-
taken. Passengers alightiug at the Duluth
station remark this strong eiGuvia, and nc
doubt it will be remedied now that the atten-
ton of the authorities is called to it. There
is one good thing about our city, that when
we have a heavy rain the greater part OF the
streets and cutters get well cleaned out, thus
saving the city much i'll health itwould have
The sewerage should be made better, and il
it is not the city authorities must be held
resDOnSible.
