The exceedingly cool wealth.
er last Sunday evening necessitated a
postponement of the park concert. The
weather clerk seems to have grudge
against the Silver Cornet Band.
The Nicollet county auditors records
show that SO per cent. of the tax levy
OF 1884 was paid before the LIST day of
June. The amount levied was $55, 900
and the amount not paid by the 30th of
May was $4,000
An exceedingly cold wave rolled
down upon us from the north last Sun
day evening. The change was so sud-
den that mercury dropped nearly forty
degrees in less than two hours. On
Monday morning frost was reported in
some localities.
Redwood Falls has put in a bid for
the State school for INDECENT children.
The commissioners have agreed to
visit Redwood Falls and look the ground
over. While we would be pleased to
have our neighbors succeed, we very
much fear their efforts to secure the
school is time lost.
Col. Bend, of the First regiment M.
N. G.. has entered into controversy
with Adjutant General MacCarthy
which may lead to court martial At
latest accounts Col. Bend was still in
arrest-pending an investigation by
Gov. Hubbard, who returned to the
capital last Saturday.
The annual conference meeting of the
Congregational ministers and delegates
from churches between Marshall and
New Ulm will take place at Springfield
June 9th, continuing until June 18th.
After the convention the ministers and
delegates will proceed to Three Lakes,
where the Rev. Jas. Kay is now labor
ing, to effect an organization.
Ihe business in the sheriff's Office
has increased to such an extent that
sheriff Schmidt has for some time been
thinking of getting an assistant. The
new acquisition was taken into the fam
lily last Sunday morning, and in course
of time he will become valuable aux
iliary in the sheriff's Office. John was
quite liberal with cigars on Sunday,
and they do say that the prisoners in
jail were treated to an extraordinary
fine dinner.
Capt. Max. j. Rosskopf was married
at the Nicollet House, St. Peter, on
Tuesday, June End, 1885, to Miss Dora
Erd. Rev. Mr.. Hartzell performed the
ceremony. Capt. Rosskopf brought
his bride home on the evening train
and the news of his marriage was soon
public property. Late in the evening
the boys of his company called on him
and rendered their congratulations. A
sharp report from twenty-five or thirty
guns first appraised him of their presence.
Of course the Captain passed around
the cigars. The REVIEW extends con.
CALCULATIONS.
A terrible hail and rain storm ragged
in Nicollet and CRANKY townships, Mic.
ollet county, on Monday night of last
week, that, fog fury and destructive
ness, has never been equaled in the
past twenty-five years. In Nicollet
township, south of Swan lake, the hail
stripped the leaves from the trees, fruit
bushes, wheat, oats and corn. At 1O
o'clock Tuesday morning hailstones
the size OF small hens eggs were gath
cred by the shoveEul. For :. space OF
ten miles square great damage was
done, bnt beyond that the hail ceased.
The heavy rain, however, left the roads
in q bad condition.
