other large increase over the same week last
year.
The steamer G. B. Knapp arrived from st.
Paul at noon yesterday with three empty
barges, and left with them for points up the
river to be loaded.
Mr. Parmalee, of the roller skating rink,
who went to Fergus Falls to see Mrs. Par
malice, who is visiting her parents, is ex
pected home to-day.
There is considerable cholera infantum in
the city, it being extra prevalent. Through
this the doctors are doing a considerable
amount of business.
The Jennie Hayes has had large barge
fitted up for carrying heavy planking from
south Saltwater to the new bridge. She is
doing heavy business for that concern.
To day Judge McCluer will preside at the
district court. There are several old cases
that have been hanging fire. Give Judge

There will be a meeting tonight of the

Yesterday the River Falls team was on

The GOODNESS of the evenings are interfering
somewhat with the comfort Of the campers,

are in demand.
Supt. Center left on Saturday evening for
Chautauqua. He remains in Chicago day
attending to business for the school board,
and then goes east, to join his wife, daugh-
ter and sister. He owns beautiful cottage
at Chautaquua lake.
Yesterday thunderstorm passed over the
lily and the rain was welcome, none having
fallen for some time. It will do no injury to
harvesting operations, and will improve the
root crops. In the afternoon it could hardly
be seen that we had had rain.
Between Saltwater and st. Paul we noticed
yesterday that the farmers have nearly all the
ripe grain cut, and it is either in the barns
or in shocks. The crops appear to be very
heavy. Corn looks well. being tall and strong,
and is now in the milk. Potatoes and other
root crops show good average.
We clip the following from the social news
from saltwater in the p p: "Durant Bar
clay is spending his vacation with his parents
in saltwater" This looks like bad sell,
as Durant Barclay, the only son of Druggist
Barclay, is only about six weeks old, and we
guess that home is just about the right place
for him.
The roller skating rink has only to get on
thc finishing coat of white, when the plaster
ing will be finished. Then the painters will
be at work, and in a couple of weeks at the
farthest, the most complete the best finished

no mistake.
There are only a couple of offenders in the
cooler awaiting an interview with Judge

his frau had him so well secreted that they
could not find him.

They returned by the Hayes ON Saturday
evening, and speak highly of the beauty of
the Delles of st. Croix. They left last even
ing by the Duluth road for st. Paul and Min
neapois.
We would not be surprised to learn that
arrangements will be made so that the Car
Teton Opera company will again appear at
the Grand Opera house before going east.
Should it be arranged they will have still
larger house than on last Thursday evening,
when the elite of the city were present. The
company is good, and they deserve full
attendance.
The game Of base ball at the park on Satur-
day afternoon was very disastrous, quite
number of the players being badly hurt.
Fingers were sprained, bruised and broken.
We call that rather tough kind of pas
time, and would rather be excused from
getting such hard knocks. But those who
wish to get so badly done up may do so.
Yesterday it was amusing to see eight men
trying TO unload one little steer off the Jen-
ME Hayes. They tried to get him to walk,
b,ith p would NOT and Low dnwD Eyprv con
trivance was thought of, when at last one of
superior intellect devised water cure,
throwing pals of water ON his head, which
by degrees got him ashore. They could have
easily picked him up and carried him ashore.
We intend to publish daily as we get them,
all the personal and social items we can learn
about. We are certainly obliged to those
who have kindly posted us so far, and if per-
sOnals are not inserted, it is for no want of
courtesy, but because we have not learned of
the events. Besides it will greatly aid papers
who only insert them once week if we get
full list. We prefer giving them daily, as
then arrivals and departures are at once
brought under their friends notice.

utterly of the manner in which the channel
above the bridge has been rendered useless
by piles being driven in it for the benefit of
the log interest 1t has driven them onto the
reef at the foot of the island, and it Is
usual thing to be aground. They say there
is no use in making remonstrance, as the
log interests are all powerful and that they
will cucumber any channel just rs much as
they please II is bad state of affairs when
such is the case, SIS the poor should have
