The Bulletin figures out majority of 5,742
for Blaine on the popular vote. Wonder
how be did il! On this basis be must also
have at least majority % in Inc electoral
vote. Mistake somewhere.
There is big attraction at the rink to-
night; the popular Newton d Jones are to
be there. Their feats on rollers are simply
wonderful, and they well deserve the ''nom
de plume" of the 'Meteors on Rollers"
o. E. Schibsted has one window filed with

terror Of the store is well filed and tastefully
arranged.

testify to the desirability Of Mr. Smith to

| IAN exciting and laughable contest took
place at the rink Saturday night, the &C
casion being a race for turkey while blind
folded. About dozen we're engaged in II,
and it is needless to say they got anywhere
but near the turkey. Matte Kern made the
successful grab after a half hour Of aimless
bumpipgs.
At the markets there is the usual album
dance of meats and vegetables noticeable
during the holiday season. More attention
is given TO the quality Of the goods than to
display. Joe La Page invites attention TO
his elegant and durable harnesses and to the
stock which he has, and which be is prepared
TO sell at bottom figures.
The happiest man in Baldwin on yester-
pay morning was Frank G. Scribuer. Ever
since the election of Cleveland he has been
feeling about as good as possible, but
Wednesday morning be had a box Of cigars
under his arm and the smile on his face was
contagious, il was SO hearty. II is not every
Gay that a man can rejoice over a nine
pound girl, and we desire to heartily con-
gratulate Frank and his estmable LADY. May
she be world of comfort to them.
Friday morning, December 9Th, found us
enveloped in dense cold fog, making it
very disagreeable TO be out. Saturday a
cold rain came drizzling down all day,
changing TO snow sometime during the
night, and Sunday we were given a regular
Northwestern, and when we went 10 the train
TO get our Sunday GLOBE we had 10 wade
through snow nearly a foot in depth. Mon
day the clouds cleared away, since when the
merry jingle of the sleigh bells is an evil
dence that the people are making the most
of the splendid sieighing.
Holiday goods are beginning to arrive in
town, and the displays made by some Of the
merchants are tasty and neat. Messrs.
Scribner 81 Rasmussen have one window filed
with fancy and millinery goods, behind
which sits the smiling manager, and in the
other they have arranged an amphitheater of
caps, before which the village urchins stand
in open mouthed longing. In the store ev-
cry inch of available room is taken, and the
gentlemanly PROJECTORS and obliging clerks
are only too glad to show goods, even IL YOU
do not want to purchase.
The managers of the rink have added
twelve dozen chairs to their stock of fixtures,
and propose soon to put in an adjustable
stage making all arrangements for holding
entertainments there during the winter
months. There is no reason, but that of late
poor entertainments have stopped here, why
Baldwin should not be a splendid point for
travelling show people. The people are
amusement loving and would literally pat
ronize good show; therefore the efforts of
the proprletors of the rink to prepare place
for them is cOmmendable. Isaac Melgord's
hall is well adapted for place of amusement
but the absence Of a stage renders it unin-
viting to travelling showmen,
A large concourse of people gathered at
the Norwegian church, Friday, to pay their
last tributes of woe TO Mrs. Sangestad Rev.
Mr.. Krog preached a very expressive ser
mon, being at times so overcome that he
could scarcely utter a word. The church was
tastefully and appropriately decorated, and
the floral offerings very beautiful indeed. All
places of business were closed from the hour
of noon until 3 O'Clock, out of respect for
and sympathy with their fellow toWnsman
in his hour of grief. Poor little ''Saundrv -
1t made our hearts bleed to see her weeping
over the bier of her mother. She has a kind
and loving father left, but the one
on whom she relied, the one to guide
her from girlhood to womanhood, the
mother, the counselor and advisor, was gone,
again we say, poor little ''Saundry."
The report of the county committee on as
sessment gives great deal of dissatisfaction
to prominent citizens of Baldwin. They
(the committee) increase the total assessable
valuation $50, 800. While the valuation of
1888 may be too low, yet it is not right to
presume that the town of Baldwin is, or was,
more favored than other towns in st. Croix
county: and yet in county containing nine
teen towns they are given the burden of 1919
per cent of the total increase in the county
10 bear. Another thing about the report
that stirs up comment is the fact that while
the whole town is increased at this enormous
figure, the village proper is cut down in val
