&C. A. Wells & Co have a curiosity
in the shape of an egg within an egg
on exhibition in their drug store. The
inner egg is somewhat deformed In
shape but it contains hard shell the
same as the outer one. 1t is worth
your while to go and see it.

Bell Barry, living near Fargo. was
fined $15 and costs by Justice Effrick
on Wednesday for saying he heard
somebody say so and so about some
body. Serves him right. Pity some
of the old gossips of this town were
not made an example of. 1t would be
a good lesson for them to hold their
tongues.

The interest factor is one of the
most potent features in all business
transactions. Money will double itself
at ten per cent. in about seven years,
at nine per cent. in eight years, at
eight per cent. in nine years, at seven
per cent. in ten and half years, at
six per cent, in twelve years, at four
and half per cent. in sixteen years,
at four per cent. III eighteen years.
Old Mr.. Coonin went over to Cor
nelius Gleason's the other day to pay
him little debt he owed. While
there Mr.. Gleason gave him sound
threshihg for something he heard he
had said, breaking one of his ribs and
otherwise injuring him. Mr.. Gleason,
who is only about 35, should be
ashamed of his conduct for assaulting
a man twice his age. We understand
that Mr.. Coonin has had him arrested
and will make him pay damages.
From distant points comes the
prophecy that prohibition is destined
to be the practice of the people. A
Georgia paper predicts that ''less than
three years at the longest" there will
not be single retail liquor shop in
the state of Georgia. The same pa
per expresses the belief that in less
than a generation children will have
to be told what bar room was. In
the same line Dakota paper says that
within FIVE years there will not be a
saloon in South Dakota.
The young men of the future have
got to look sharp. In the ,seminaiies
and colleges whose doors have been
opened to girls it is a notable fact that
the girls this year have got away with
the honors, by large majority. AS
there is no institution thus opened
which will close its doors against the
girls, young men would do well to take
their lesson in time. The girls have
knocked the college doors open to stay.
and, what is more, they are there
to make good use of their oppor-
turities.
1t is to be hoped that we shall
have Indian summer after the cold
weather of this week. 1t is supposed
to follow the first fall of snow; but
the Indians claim that it begins shortly
ber. We have had long and severe
winter. late spring, and compar.
atively short and cool summer and
now we are threatened with an early
autumn. with the prospect of another
long winter back of that. We are
not grumbling at the weather, remem-
ber, bit only recording fact as it has
existed.
1t is currently reported that pota-
toes are rotting badly. In seasons
like this, when potatoes are inclined
to rot it becomes an important ques-
tion whether it is advisable to dig
them at once or delay the work for a
time. If digging would prevent far
ther loss from the rot, their need be nc
hesitancy in deciding the question; but
it is generally conceded that potatoes
thus affected will continue to decay,
even after digging. Granting this to
be true, it is better to delay the work
as long as it is safe to leave the tubers
in the ground. With this management,
the tubers which decay are left to fer
tilize the soil, without loss of labor in
handling.
They say that Mart Lavell "skipp'
ed by the light Of the moon," last Sat
urday, leaving several mourning cred.
itors behind. The heaviest loser we
have yet heard of is Earnest Cannis.
who indorsed note for 800 for Mr.
Lavell some time ago. Mr.. G. paid
the note "like a man" last Monday,
and issued warrant at once for La
vell's arrest, but when he was sent fol
he could not be found. Mr.. Lavel
was arrested at Brockway Centre .
fewdays before, but was let 60 on his
promise to appear for trial on Monday
This little move on the part of Mr.
Lavell has created quite sensation
for his acqualntances always supposed
him to be man of honor. Detective
