south yesterday, and leaves with a raft of logs.
The Jennie Hayes took large barge of stone
yesterday morning for the new bridge, which Is
progressing finely.
The G. B. Knapp arrived from st. Paul yester-
day morning with three barges, and proceeded
up the river to have them loaded.
For the past twenty-four hours there is no
perceptible difference in the height of water
here, but at Taylor's Falls it has got very low.
a goodly part of the manufacturing done by
the Northwestern Manufacturing Car company
IS now performed in the new shops, and the men
are pleased with their new quarters.
Shipments of separators, horse powers and en-
gines by the Northwestern Manufacturing & Car
company continue with undated vigor, they are
sending away several cars every day.
During the absence of Judge Netheway at
camp, +. IL. Ewing, Esq, will act as judge Of the
municipal court, and you may be sure friend
Ewing will temper justice with mercy.
We exceedingly regret to learn that officer Nc
earthly was worse yesterday. Although on Mon
day night he was much easier, during the night
he was quite ill again. 1t is to be hoped that he
will recover.
Tomorrow Company leave for the annual
camp at Lake Calhoun, and no doubt they will
have grand time. One week is not enough to
make the men efficient in drill, but it is far better
than no instruction whatever.
NJ. Dudley Hersey leaves this week for his
mammoth farm near Larimore, Grand Forks
county, Dakota. He has 1900 acres in wheat
and the hail storm of last week did not touch it.
| although it ali around his property His
headquarters will be at Arvilla.
On Monday evening the fire department was
unable to hold meeting for want of u quorum
Stick to your posts, boys, as no men in the city
have more responsible positions than you have
and none are more looked up to and depended
upon. If at all possible attend your meetings

Wayne club will play the Saltwater club on the
base ball grounds here, and Terre Haute the first
three days of next week, after which the Grand

from home to play.
Capt. Tozer has sold brazil Of logs to the Bur-
lington Lumber Co., and they were so much
they not only paid the price asked, but are send
ing steamer to take them away. That's the
way we like to see business done.
The members of the rowing club are out every
evening, and are having some fine spins, on the
lake. Many of them are frst-cass rowers. We
wonder they do not get up some match amongst
themselves, or have public gathering. They
| cannot find better sheet of water anywhere
for such testing Of their proves. So wake up,
and let the good folks know something of what
you can do.
Lettering on the street corners is again becom
| ing nuisance and no doubt the police will see
to it that the streets kept clear so that ladies'
will not be jostled in passing. Thoughtlessness
is the chief OF the distractions las elections,
baseball and other kindred subjects occupy the
minds of men SO much at present that they DIS
cuss them on the street corners.
Some of the gentlemen who were at Chicago
at the Democratic convention, sport white hats
but the rooster is wanting. 1t looks as if some
of them were putting on airs aud acting as if to
say, ''wouldn't you like you had been there
One thing is certain, they all look as if they had
not much rest or sleep while away But how
| they do crow over the work they did, in getting
such a strong ticket in the field, with which they
can whip all creation, and John Kelly and Ben.

| The tie loader of the Transfer company was
doing good work yesterday loading car with
225 ties in fifteen minutes. 1t requires nine men
to attend to it, four on the car, three getting the
| ties to the endless chain or carrier one keeping
tally and the engineer. The track Mt that point
should be levelled, as between the loader and the
elevator there is quite hollow, and the men lose
much time in getting the cars in position for
loading.

ferers.
Hugh Mckenzie, when he arrived at Castle
Reed on Monday afternoon, surprised the war
denis office. The sheriff of Morrison county mad
| him in charge but when the sheriff was paying
the cabman, Mckenzie was inside shaking hands
with the officers, and acted as II the sheriff was
| his prisoner instead of himself being the cul-
| prit. He is known In the city, and was at one
time in the employ of the warden. However he
has to serve two years and six months for larceny
He was horse and cattle thief.
Yesterday farmer, who came into the city
with load of hay, tied his team to his wagon fol

! to keep the streets clear.
We learn that arrangements are being entered
into so that there viii be better accommodation
in reaching Lake Elmo Sundays At present
1t may as well be said there is no train on sun
day stopping 1t that point. The Importance Of
the point to health seekers should surely weigh
something with the powers that be- The Duluth
road does all 1t can to help White Bear, and in
crease its own dividends. and surely the omahs
might allow passenger trains passing there to stor
for the convenience of the many who would %
