Notwithstanding the threatening appear
ances yesterday morning there was a good
attendance of pleasure and health seekers
at Lake Elmo all day.
The heavy rains yesterday morning have
done vast amount of good, and the hazy
atmosphere throughout the day has kept the
moisture in the ground.
The train that left Saltwater last evening
at sos made some pretty sharp running, as
her time, including stoppages, is only forty
five minutes, between Saltwater and st
Paul.

Winona, to take Capt SAM Registers place
as clerk on the steamer Evansville. Capt

herself or her tow.

TO Appleton, D. T., where they will join
Messrs. Gilbert, Castleman and Dougherty
OF st. Louis, who left here on Thursday.
The farmers have secured nearly all the
grain cut between Saltwater aud st. Paul,
on the Omaha road, and the large stacks
loom up we'll Only few have the grain in
shocks, to be damaged by the rains of yester-
day.
The train that leaves this city at sos on
the Omaha road will be of much advantage
to those who visit Lake Elmo on Sundays,
as they can spend nearly the whole day there,
and those from st. Paul will get to their
homes at $50.
The steamer Robert E. Dudley, of st.
Louis, on of the boats belonging to the

morning with eight loaded barges for st.
Paul. She has lumber, telegraph poles, posts,
lath, cordwood and other lading, every barge
being heavily loaded. 1t is feared she will

as far as new occupants are concerned. Ono

ing at the Scandinavian saloon ON North
Main street. There was a. general row going
on. Another also got in for fighting down
| street.
| There was great falling off the past week
in the tolls collected at the bridge, they
amounting to only S134.65, which is some
$40 less than the corresponding week last
year. The excellent harvest weather will ac-
count mainly for this, as the farmers are toe
busy to come to town.
1t was cool proceeding when Mr. Mas
ice cream freezer and contents were stolen
from his rear door about II O'Clock on Sat
urday evening. Some one was fond of the
vanilla flavor, and took the freezer over on
the railway track where the contents were
nearly all eaten, On Sunday morning it was
found. 1t was good they did not eat the
freezer toqnbut no doubt it will do as good
service as Dhas done in the past, and give
up lots of first class ice cream.
The Odd Fellows in the city, whether mem
bers of the city lodge or visitors, are requested

The new late train on the Omaha road
from saltwater to st. Paul win be of special
benefit especially to the steamer Jennie
Hayes, as it will enable the st. Paul and Min

ST. Paul. This will enable the st. Paul PEG
pie to have the benefit of sight of some of
the finest scenery in this region, and TRIP
that will be pleasant and enjoyable. The
new bridge across the st. Croix for the Wis
consin Central railway is alone worth a
longer journey to see.
unanimously attended meeting of lum-
bermen was held on Saturday evening in the
office of Durant & Wheeler, Grand Opera
block, for the purpose of electing delegates
to the lumbermen's convention which opens
in Chicago on the Goth, and to talk up the
feasibility of shutting down the mills here
ON September 18th. The feeling CT the
meeting was that they continue to run unit
the close of navigation, as the mills had con
tracts to ffll and those that were saving fol
yard stock have not enough lnmber on hand
to supply the demand for Washington county
and our Wisconsin neighbors. The amount
| of lumber on hand in Saltwater now is H.
000, coo feet, 4 600, 900 of laths and 6,000,-
600 of shingles. The delegates elected &c
represent the numbering interests of Still
water at the Chicago convention were Hon
E. w Durant, Col r. F. Hersey, C. n. Mel
son and David Tozer. After talking over
the general log year the meeting adjourned.
