Mrs. j. j. Edwards, who has been for some

case of drunkenness in the municipal court,
and the victim to tangeleg got seven days in
durance.
The G. B. Knapp arrived from st. Paul with
several empty barges yesterday morning, and
passed up the river with them to points above to
! be loaded
Mr. Maxfeld, commission merchant, of St.
Paul, was in the city yesterday. He is inter-
ested in some log business, and was looking the
matter up.
| Mr.. Denckman of Rock Island was in the city
yesterday. He will no doubt purchase largely
| before leaving, and the log and lumber owners
are as busy as bees.
Major Day, of the Standard Lumber company,
Dubuque, was in the city yesterday. He was on
business, which we trust will be profitable to
some of our log dealers.
We are pleased to learn that S. r. Stimson,
general manager of the Northwestern Manufac-
! turing Car Co., who was taken i'll Tuesday
evening, is now better.
Mr. Cary, of Cary, Ogden & Parker, paints and
oil men, Chicago, was in the city yesterday
shaking hands with old friends. He is rusticating
for a few days at White Bear.
We learn that the endeavor to have the Garlic
ton Opera company appear again at the Grand,
has proved Intellectual. If they could nave been
secured they would have drawn another large
| house.
| MIR. Fl. G. Ferguson left last evening for La
Crosse to oversee the transfer of the raft from
| the Evansville to the David Bronson. The
| Bronson draws too much water to pass the shall
lows in the Mississippi at Wabasha
On Saturday evening, the 23d inst, Sol. Rus
| sell will appear at the Grand Opera house. If
that company cannot bring the house down, we
would like to know who can. You laugh
and grow fat when you hear them. They should
draw full house.
Mr.. Ferguson, Dr. Donald's uncle, who has
been visiting him for the past month, left yester-
day for Cincinnati. He enjoyed his visit so
much that he is to return at an early date. He
thinks saltwater beautiful city, with the most
friendly people he ever met
Mr. c. w. Potter, insurance adjuster, Mwau-
kee, was in the city yesterday. He has come to
1 ~,
which was burned, and to investigate the matter
in relation thereto. He has been making enquir-
les through the city.
| Yesterday the city was full of lumber dealers
and millers from the different cities down the
river, and we expect to be able to chronicle sew
eral heavy sales to-day. The demand, especially
for logs. is increasing, and it looks as if the
large stocks that have been all along expected to
| be wntered here will be so reduced as to make q
| brisk winters work in the woods.
| Yesterday, young girl from South Saltwater,
Eliza La Pointe, was in the city, who for activ-
! ity and size will place against any in this
| section. She was ten years in February last
and turns the scales at over 200 pounds. She is
active, and few girls of her age in South Still
water can outrun her. She is a pretty, bright
| girl.
Mr.. George d. Hale returned yesterday from
| Winona and reports that the Evansville has got
her raft again complete. On Wednesday she
| took one half of it to La Crosse, and got back to
| Winona at midnight, and left yesterday morning
with the other half, where the David Bronson
will take the whole to Rock Island and Musca-
| tine.
Master Willie Van Worries, Frank Lehmicke,
Harry Darns and Harry Cover, a quartette of
| bright boys, are out at Lake de Montrevle for a
-
hook, although none of the boys are over twelve
years of age. They have a complete outfit with
| them and are having glorious time. They are
not near any other campers at the lake. Judge
| Lehmicke and wife and Mrs Darns went out to
see the boys yesterday.
| When it is known that it was Andrew W Pet
| erson that made the statement of the attempted
burglary and the shooting on Wednesday morn
| ing on the North Hill, no one will be surprised
| that the whole thing comes out at the small end
! of the horn. He is a crank on supposed i'm
! probable deeds, and is perfect nuisance to the
! police. He can make the most plausible ex-
| cuses conceived and has always knot hole
| throu Oh which 10 crawl. No stock can be taken
| in anything he says.
| The invitations out for the monster basket
picnic of the Ancient Order Hibernians at White
Bear lake on Monday next. They have had
several applications from the order in St. Paul
and Minneapolis to join them, but the steamer
! can only take certain number, and they intend
thatthose from this end of the line shall have
| the first right. Every arrangement is complete,
as the committee who have that part in hand are
just the ones TO carry them out well.
| The Office of Surveyor General Proctor is in
the large building at the foot of Myrtle street 1t
is rather strange that the city does not move the
building on to some other portion of their lands,
| us Myrtle street is laid out and shouldbe opened
| to the lake. If the building belongs to private
| individual, the city has the ownership of the
| street, and the authorities doing an injustice
| in allowing the building to remain where it is as
| a building of that size will no doubt realize a
| handsome rent to the owners No matter
! whether the building belongs to the city or to
/ private individuals, it should be moved off the
/ street allowance, that is the property of the
public Let the streets be opened as the city sur
] veys show they should
Several instances of carelessness has come to
cur knowledge of late One day last week a
lady in the city was visiting at neighbours and
| lost a valuable ring off her finger. She never
missed it until the servant of the party she was
visiting brought it to her, having discovered it
| while sweeping. In another case, young lady
was in restaurant and left her portmanteau
| containing money and jewelry amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars worth. She did not discover
| her loss until il returned to her from the
restaurant. There is still another case. in which
\ lady was visiting at neighbours, and left her
| pocketbook on the window sill. Ii lay there a
| pay before discovered, and when it was returned
the owner was surprised, not having missed it.
| This carelessless is the cause of much trouble,
and charges of dishonesty may be made against
servants and others, when little care would have
/ prevented them.
