geese in the town of Lake Hanska, one
day last week. The reverend gentle
man is a crack shot and but seldom re-
turns empty-handed from his hunting
excursions.

Lutheran Synodal Bote, to be publish
ed in this city under the auspices of the
German Lutheran Synod of Minneso-
ia, will make its appearance December

city council, caused by the resignation
of Chas. Brast. The new member
will be elected for Mr.. Brust's unex-
pired term, about five months, but he

The Herald says bold robbery was
committed on the farm Of John Nelson.
a farmer living about a mile west of
Sleepy Eye, on Tuesday night Of last
week. He was away from home during
the evening and did not return until
late. The nextmorning he discovered
that some persons had taken from his
grain bins about one hundred bushels
OF wheat and at least two wagon loads
of corn. He could find no traces which
gave him any information as to who
were the guilty parties.
If the Winona Republican is correctly
informed Frank L. Randall of this city
has formed a law partnership with Lieut.
ia. Tawney, Jud ge Advocate Of the Sec
ond regiment, at Winona. By Mr.. Ran
dall's removal to Winona New Ulm los
es one of it's brightest legal lights. In
society circles Mr.. Randall will also be
greatly missed. Lieut.. Tawney is Al
self-made man, and although young in!
his profession. he has already built up
large and lucrative business, and Mr..
Randall may consider himself forum
ate in forming such excellent business
connections. Tawney & Randall will
make strong team.
The following suggestion for preserv-
ing potatoes with tendency to rot is
made by farmer. who says it will not

sorted, sprinkle the bottom of the bins
or barrels with Stacked lime. Then pu,

the depth of six or seven inches; then
sprinkle again with small quantity of
lime, and continue the process until the
bins are filed. A number of years ago,
when potatoes rotted very nearly as
badly as they do now, this plan was
tried. and it saved all the potatoes, as
above described. The expense is small,
as but light sprinkling of lime is re-
quired.
Utilization of Flax Fibre. An i'm.
portant manufacturing enterprise ac-
cording to the Free Press, is about to 90
into operation at Mankato. A large
brick building 40x150 feet of brick, two
stories in height, is being erected, with
other buildings attached, for the pur-
pose of using flax straw in the manu-
facture of barrels, pals, tubs, cans and
other articles of daily use, under new

tons OF flax straw now go to waste after
the seed has been gathered, in south.
