A few weeks since important bust
ness called us to Mitchell several
times during the week. We always
found Bro. Hardin at the depot in
Plankinton anxlously scanning the
faces of the new arrivals. Inquiry
revealed the fact that the Press was
expecting a compositor of the gentler
sex We wondered then why the
expected arrival was of more than
usual importance to Bro. Hardin, but
ali me! we wonder no longer.
Frank Smith and John White are
in training for the next ego as you
please international race. They put
on the gloves every morning and
pound one another's heads for an hour,
then adjourn to the driving park and
take a ten mile run, after which comes
a light breakfast consisting of two
pounds of beefsteak, six soft boiled
eggs with the skins on, four pieces of
milk toast and three graham rolls, all
washed down witha pint Of English
ale.
Last week Mr.. Hicks beautiful
water spaniel vas taken suddenly
with violent spasms, the symptoms
being that Of %strychnine poisoning.
Whether the dog was poisoned pur-
posely or not is difficult to determine.
1t is to be hoped hat such was not
the case. 1t does not seem possible
that kimball harbors any person so
low, mean, vile; contemplate and lost
to all sense of decency as to poison a
valuable dog which is perfectly harm
less to any n and Of great value to
its owner.
Some weeks since we noted an ac-
cidentt to Samuel Miller by which he
had a hand badly mutilated by the ac-
cidentai discharge of his gun while
hunting. The middle finger was shot
nearly off, merely hanging by the skin,
DR.. Hollinger dressed the hand and
by a skillful piece of surgical work re-
placed the finger and the hand Is now
healing nicely. Mr.. Miller will have
reason to thank the DR.. as long as he
lives for restoring to him the complete
use of his hand.

While the two little boys of f. f.
