Navigation closed. Oknbena Lake
shut down Oh Friday night last with u
snap-a cold snap. 1t was partly fro
zen over before, but Friday night
closed up the ranks for good and the
fish went into winter quarters.
The Okabena Mills are drawing from
long distances. \ number Of teams
were ut the mill the other day from
Murray county and also from Iowa.
They have found out that they can be
attended to at once and get back III
time for supper.
\ man tried to pass bogus half
dollar the other night at the Lake
House, and because he was detected il
the act, lie laid off his coat and wanted
to turn the house Inside out. He was
handed over to the marshal, but was
released and allowed to leave town
without cooling off in the cooler.
We are IL little late publishing our
report OF the real estate transfers for
October, owing to the election and 9TH
er matters, but it is good enough TO
keep. The sales foot up SIS, lGG for the
month. Anybody can see from these
reports that there is 4 very healthy and
steady demand for our lands. No
boom, but u good solid business.
Winter arrived on Friday night last
with his baggage and family and thinks
he will stop over till spring. Tie Their.
mometer on Sunday morning marked
zero in the summer kitchen and be-
low on the outside. Cold snaps are
pretty sure to report about Thanksyiv-

Pansies. Mrs. ADVANCE and the
little ADVANCE have had Il bed Of pan
sizes which exhibited Il hardness and
tenacity of Life worthy the cat which is
said to have nine lives. They went on
blossomine up to the 21st when winter
set il. Heavy frosts had been running
for nearly two months and ice had
formed several inches thick, but
them" pansie> bobbed.up and nodded
every morning us clipper as snowbirds.
Ice. Ed. Pannell was running fou,
teams on Monday, mostly occupied in
supplying the town with pew ice from
the lake. Ed. has enlarged his ice
house and expects to put up Il large
quantity this winter. lie was unable
lust summer 20 supply the demand.
The ice business will in time be no
small source Of revenue to our town
and it should he so now. We are in
just the position to supply the towns
along the Warrington Il Sioux Falls,
the Southern Minnesota, aud the st.
Paul and Omaha roads, and also along
the Burlington.
Tuesday the st. John flag was run
up on the pole at the Lake House cor
nar. Tuesday night some one, or several
ones, stole around about l O'Clock and
undertook to take down the pole will,
saws and auge:s. The noise attracted
the attention of parties in the house
and the raiders were frightened away
This is very poor way of getting even
with the Prohibitionists. They have I,
right to ilaunt a flag from every one of
their windows over the victory they
won in beating the only friends they
had. Besides they are catching it all
over the country from Republicans
who have heretofore thought well of
them.
