| Inc water is stlll on the DOWNWARD grace,
and is now only three feet three inches above
low water mark,
The travel between this point and White
Bear is steadily on the increase, and NAH
tomedi has its full share.
There is quite buzz of parties going
from this city to Chicago to attend the Dem
ocratic convention, or rather, to have hand
in the lively times expected.
Mr.. E. D. Sewall, agent at this point for
the Chicago, Milwaukee s. ST. Paul railroad,
has received well earned holiday of week.
] He went to Milwaukee on Sunday evening.
Yesterday morning there was clean sheet
at the municipal court, the drunk and va
grant that were lodging in the caboose on
Saturday night being allowed to depart.
Several rght-of-way claims settlements
have been fled in the Office of the county
clerk between the st. Paul & St. Croix Rail
road company and other parties. Arbitrator
made the awards.
| A large number of men have arrived in
the city the past few days from the booms
above this point, showing that the work is
getting well ahead, and that shortly all the
logs will be through.
We give the same advice now as when
Sells circus was here, and that is, keep your
houses well watched and look out for sneak
thieves and pickpockets when the circus is in
the city. A tough lot accompany it.
All kinds of grain have healthy appear
ance, and are of particularly dark green,
showing strength. Oats are in head, which
are long and well stocked. There appears
good prospects for an abundant harvest.
Hay harvest has begun in this section, and
from the number of ricks seen, the cut ap-
| pears to be much above the average. The
copous rains We have had since spring could
not but be of the greatest benefit to such
luxuriant growth.
The first game between the Saginaw and
Saltwater clubs comes off at four O'Clock this
afternoon on the base ball grounds. They
also play on Wednesday and Thorsday There
will be no game on Friday, but on Saturday
the Bay City team plays here.
For the past couple of days there has been
very little movement in the log market, but
the lumber sales for last week showed up
well, being no less than IL, 500, 900 feet. This
was very good for the hard times which are
being felt all over the country.
1t is expected there will be a great rush
here on Friday, as everybody will be in the
city to see the great Forepaugh show No
circus has been better advertised on account
of the competition between him and Sells
Brothers. Their advertising has cost pretty
I round sum.
| County Auditor Foley has had returned to
him from the state auditor, not approved,
several of the rebates made by the county
board of commissioners at their last session.
The rebate asked in the case of the Elevator
company OF this city was allowed, and we
! think justly too, as it was assessed far above
its value.
| Yesterday m crning the Jennie Hayes took
two large barges of stone to the new bridge
for the Wisconsin Central, over the ST. Croix.
| She also took full load of freight from
various points up the river. She has had all
the business she could attend to, so far. this
summer Capt. Ben Knapp, his officers and
men, are popular, by their civility, courtesy
and attendance to businesses
At the district court, this morning, the case
of Byron j. Moser VS.. j. c. Rhodes, John
Coyell, Dan'l Elliott and the city of saltwater
was called, but c. p. Gregory, attorney for
the plaintiff, not being ready, it was post
| poned by consent until Wednesday morning
Mccartney is attorney for the city of Still
water and Clapp IL Mccartney for Rhodes,
Coyell and Elliott. There will be no sitting
of the court to-day.
On sunday night there was present in the
M. E. church the largest attendance ever
gathered there, to listen to the eloquent adj
dress of the Hon. G. w. Anderson of Cali
fornia. He was listened to with pleasure and
profit by those present. His treatment of
the subject of prohibition was different from
any heretofore presented, and was decided
improvement on the old hsckneyed phrases
A letter has been received from Mrs. Mary
Brown, nee Bartholomew, formerly of this
city She is st Menomonee, Wis, at which
point her husband, Chas. Brown, has desert
ed her. She writes for a certificate of her
fathers former connection with the Grand
Army, on her showing that he was an old
soldier, the G.. A. K. at Menomonee will as
sist her in getting home. This action of
Browns was expected as he was thorough
ly unprincipled person. He was well known
here, and was for some time in DIR. Caine's
office.
In the Office of the county clerk NAV be
seen some really primitive methods in which
marriage certificates are filed up by the Of
floating clergyman. In one instance Peter
Peterson gets a licenae to wed Matilda
Elstrym, but the clergyman neither filled in
his part OF the certificate nor yet signed his
name, the only names subscribed being the
to witnesses. Clerk Bennett does not know
where to send it, and no doubt the bride and
bridegroom will wonder what has become of
the certificate. In another case the certf6-
cate shows that the gentleman has got mar
ried, but no mention is made of the sfarer
of his sorrows and JOYS. Other cases are
equally incomplete. change should be
made.
OF the many places noted for their beauty
in and around the city, none is more lovely
than the quiet, resting places of those who
have gone from our midst and are sleeping
in Fairview cemetery. For that spot nature
has done very much, and art has also rendered
a helping hand. In strolling through 1t, one
cannot help noticing the care bestowed bv
the friends of those who lie here, and show
that although gone they are not forgotten.
On many of the graves may be seen freshly
deposited flowers, arranged in the form OF
stars, crosses, and other fitting designs.
while beautiful roses may be. seen growing in
all directions. Some of the plats of ground
are enclosed with evergreens, making shady
hooks. while Others arg as well kept and cnt
as the finest lawn. The resting places are
marked by almost every design, from the
plain marble slab to the costly granite monu-
ment, but all equally expressing the due re-
spect for those who are gone. There is a due
proportion OF bill and dale, with some deep
ravines. There is an abundance Of natural
timber growth, but in many cases evergreens
have been planted, which adds to the variety.
If you have not visited Fairview lately, DO
so, and you win be amply repaid for the
visit. Look there for the beautiful and Won
viii find it. In all directions may be seen
