internal injuries fortunately not having
been so severe as it was st first feared.
In the town of Norfolk, near Bird
Island, last Saturday afternoon, six
teen-year-old boy named Peter Butter
~ shot and instantly killed man
named Joseph Hogan. The shooting
was donetin self-defense.
Mankato journal: We were told to-
day by a gentleman of this city who
was informed of the fact by gentle
man who claimed to know whereof he
affirmed, that the Northwestern has
under consideration the early extension
of their line on this side of the Mime
sofa river to some prominent western
point. We must say that everything
connected with recent operations at
this point by the company tends to
substantiate the correctness of the re-
port.
From deputy sheriff Gales, who
made a flying trip to Springfield last
Monday morning, we learn that John
Richland of that place met with severe
accident last Sunday evening. He was
driving out into the country, with
some others, to attend social gather
ing, and when about half mile from
the starting point they ran into ditch
and upset the wagon Mr.. Richland beng
violently thrown to the ground and
breaking one of his legs.
Mr.. Gales also reports the acciden-
tai shooting of a member of Vino
ma cunning party near Springfield, last
Sunday. The members of the party
approached duck slough in opposite
directions, and when the ducks flew up
one of the men fired and hit his part
ner on the opposite side of the slough.
One shot entered the right eye, and the
wounded man at last accounts was at
Springfield suffering intense pain.
The State Railroad and Warehouse
commissioners again visited Redwood
Falls last week and this time several
days notice of their coming was given.
The Gazette says: ''The commission
ers were waited upon by very respect
able delegation of farmers and citizens,
who went away in general well pleased
with the interview. The chief cause of
satisfaction was the announcement ear
ly in the meeting Of the action of the
commissioners in putting stop to the
compulsory transit rate. By this sin
gle act, if no other, the commission
has attested it's right to live. In re-
gard to dockage, the remedy suggested
was first. the thorough cleaning. of
grain before sending to market; and
second, the direct shipment of grain to
the State inspectors. The latter step
was also recommended as the readiest
solution Of all disputes about grades
and prices.
The commissioners explained that
they had no legal power to regulate
local warehouses, but with reasonable
straight rates for carrying once secur-
ed, every community and every indi-
vidual could sell grain subject to State
inspection only, on an equality with
the elevator men,"
We visited Tracy last week for the
first time in two years, and though our
stay in the thriving little city was brief,

Three bakeries are now serving out
bread, cakes, pies, etc., to the hungry
natives of this city, and if the St. Peter
Herald is correctly informed, another
bakery is about being started here.

place, has decided to go into the bakery

During the wedding festivities in
Turner Hall on Tuesday evening of last
week q pleasant little episode occurred
which was not down on the pro-
gramme. It leaked out that Judge
Weber had that day reached the ripe
age Of 81 years, and, when in the CEN
tire Of the hall, he was suddenly sur
rounded by the Silver Cornet Band and
given a happy serenade. At the con-
clusion OF the serenade the Judge was
heartily congratulated by his numer-
Gus friends present.

We visited Tracy last week for the
first time in two years, and though our
stay in the thriving little city was brief,
with quite agreeable surprise we noted
the improvements that have been made
since our last visit. The railroad COM
pany erected large and substantial
machine shops, engine house and coal
sheds, and numerous sidetracks have
been put down in the yard. The sup
ply of water is brought from Lake ST.
gel, two and q half miles distant, in a
large pipe, the pumping station at the
lake being connected with roundhouse
Office by telegraph wire. In the bust
ness portion of the town several fine,
substantial business blocks have been
erected and are now filled with stacks
of goods. We also noticed sew
eral fine residences of recent con.
struction. Two churches are now in
course of construction, and everything
about the place shows thrift and pros.

in the place, but the unreasonable hour
of our visit prevented us from making
either of the editors call. Our New

Schell is wholesale dealer in beer and
carbonated waters and has built up q

joys a good run of custom. It was our
pleasure during our stay in the village

4 Cats skin GRATED on / Boy

DR.. German and Gardner, Of Bellevue
Hospital Medical college. performed "a
operation at a recent clinic that was
never performed before Perhaps wher
the patient grows up. to manhood and
becomes very charitable, be will thank
his maker that he is the only victim
Perhaps, as misery likes company, he
will encourage the doctors in their ex-
periments.
The patient was atwelve-year old boy.
Like other boys, he got hurt and got the
skin scraped off his left shin. The doc.
tors set about remedying this, and tax
ed their brains to find new skin. AT
last one ingenious spirit suggested kit
ten. The proposition was snapped up
quicker than a flash of dynamite.
Twenty-sixth street is overcome with
cats. and at last there was profitable way
of utilizing them.
A cat of tender years and mezzo-so-
prano voice was procured and dosed
with chloroform. Then it was carefully
shaved and twenty strips were cut from
its skin and grated on the bows leg. in.
termingled with few small strips cut
from the inside of the boys arm.
The operation was a success: the
gratis took hold and grew and at pres
ent the skin is perfect.
The cat, however, died.
There is an irritating doubt in the
boys mind as to what kind of an an.
imal he will be when the fur grows OUT.
There looms.upin his dim future Wis

The Mississippi in War Time.

On both sides OF the river, from Vicks
burg down, says q writer In the Chicago
Herald, the levees were a natural forti-.
fication, more powerful than any modern
earth-work could be made. An artillery
company of six pieces, could, with
dozen spades, cut cmbrasures for the
pieces In two hours. Horses, men, sup
plies, and everything were rs safe be-
hind the levee as though out of range.
These lying batteries were death dealers
indeed. They would locate in a bend of
the river, where they could have a rak-
ing fire in two directions. They mount.
ed the best of light English rifles-gen-
orally of the Whitworth pattern. A
gunboat-even a heavy sloop of war
passing up or down the river would
catch it unawares. Before she could
bring her own guns to bear she would
have to stand CALLING fire.
When her broadside could be used the
Confederates would simply lie down be-
hind the levee and take it. If the ships
crew attempted to land to spike the 81
fenced guns, of a sudden the enemy
would timber up, attach their hidden
horses and flee at a galIop-scatterin
like so many rabbits hunting a warren.
If the ship passed on up or down the
Confederates would keep quiet until her
heavy guns were again out of range and
then give it to her in the s'stern sheets. y
To saltwater sailors no style OF warfare
could be more demoralizing. Guerrilla
operations they were unused to and 10th

orders of the government the river must

A Great Advertiser,s Metho Is.

Bonner, shortly after purchasing the
Ledger. began to advertise it in most ex-
traordinary fashion. His displays in the
newspapers were such as to cause wonder
as to how he was ever to get his money
back. On one occasion he went to the
Herald with a six-line advertisement, an
nouncing new story by Sylvanus Cobb
("What Has Become of Himr') which
he wanted printed in the centre
of each of six columns Of page OF the
Herald. ''Joen Elliott was then the
publisher of the Herald, and Bonner, so
/ am told, asked if he could have a page
of the Herald. Certainly" said
Elliott, s'you can have two" "Cant
/ have fouri" asked Bonner, who
was rather nettled by Elliott's
manner. Certainly" was the re-
ply. '"Then I'll take eight"
said Bonner. That meant the publica-
ton of two papers of the usual size, and
Elliott had to consult with Frederick
Hudson, the managing editor, before
answering Bonner's bluff. My recollec-
ton is that Bonner got his eight pages.
When this big advertisement appeared
a repetition on eight pages of a sixline
agare advertisement, Mr. Bonner's minis
ter called at the Office of the Ledger and
demonstrated with him for his extrava-
gance in wasting 50 much money in re-
peating an advertisement in this manner
Finally he said "Mr. Bonner why do
you do such thingg" The reply had
good deal of common sense in it. BE
cause wanted to make you come here
and indicate by your remonstrance that
you had read it on every page"
think Dir. Bonner is one Of the most
sagacious advertisers / have ever known.
And he always uses the newspapers. No
posters; no circulars; no letters only

pers. -NeaO York Tribune
