Notes about T0,cn.

Frank Lehmicke, son of Judge Lehmicke,
is to learn the Matchmaking business with F.
Whitman.
The Republican caucuses will be held on
next Thursday evening at the usual places.
The First ward elects five delegates, the sec
ond nine, and the third eight.
1t is pleasing to see that home industry is
to be patronized, as the patrol wagon ordered
for the police force is being built by James
Conner 81 Son of this city, 1t will be ex-
actly like the st. Paul patrol wagons.
Miss Hattie Alcott, one of the most prom
ising of the teachers in the high school, who
had to leave some time ago for her home at
Huntingdon, Mimi, through nervous pros
tration, was expected back at an early date,
but it has just been understood that she has
had relapse, which will be learned with re-
greet by the many friends she has made
through her pleasing manners.
A st. Paul paper of Friday evening con-
tanned small paragraph which caused quite
commotion. In the item it says that
Henry Westing, a prisoner at Saltwater,
brother-in-law of Mr.. Siebold of st. Paul,
died yesterday" Mr.. Henry Westing, as
every one in the city knows, was one of the
most respected of the old settlers, and to-day
many mourn his loss. The scribe no doubt
meant to say "a pioneer of Saltwater"
John G.. Nelson informed GLOBE re
porter yesterday that he had not consented
to have his name proposed for Reelection as
alderman in the Third ward, and would not
run unless he would greatly change his mind
from his present determination. The GLOBE
got its information in yesterday mornings
paper as to his acceptance from one of the
party leaders.
The funeral Of the late Henry Westing
takes place this afternoon from his late resi-
dence, sol South Second street. The Odd
Fellows will have charge, as Mr.. Westing
was an old and respected member. There
will be no services except the beautiful ser
vice of the order and singing by the Maen-
nercLor society, Of which he was a member
His remains will be inferred in Fairview
cemetery.
Mike Keough and Dick Willet, the keepers
of the houses of i'll fame across the lake, who
were tried at New Richmond on Friday, are
in Hudson Jail in default Of $500 bail. The
women in the case are under bonds in S100
each, and should the business be continued
they will be fined so heavily that they will
have to close up. The Wisconsin authori-
ties have a sharp lookout for Mike Blake, who
kept the Willet house. He is nearly dead
from consumption.
The evening sermons at all the churches
to-day will be temperance ones, in anticipa-
ton of the election coming off on Tuesday
of next week. There does not appear so far
to be any effort put forth by the low
license men to carry their point, and it al
mosts looks as If the high license electors
were asleep too. The clergy are to speak on
high license in connection with the services
and to give the electors note of warning.
County Surveyor Shepard started off to do
county work last week with a good outfit.
Yesterday he came back on horseback, having
to leave instruments, buggy and harness.
The roads he says are something terrible.
Tomorrow Capt Grant and force Of men
90 to South Saltwater to get the several driv-
ing boats which have to be used on the river
ready for work. He said yesterday that last
wear the first boat sent down the river by
Durant Il Wheeler left on the 18th of April
but from all appearances, he did not think
any logs would leave the lake before the Isl
Of MAY, if they did then, the ice being par
ticuarly hrm and thick.
Mr.. A. a. Harper, OF Harper & Gillespie
said last evening that the ice is off the bar al
Alton, and the ice is wearing rapidly away
both above and below the bar. The ice i:
always clear from that portion of the lake
long before 1t moves at ans other part. With
the best of weather they could not start the
mill in less time than fortnight, by which
time the mill will be ready. The logs in thS
mill booms are now frozen in.
1t is understood a large sale Of logs was
made last evening, and the market is open
ing with good demand, much better thar
expected 1t would be good thing could al
the logs at present In the lake be out before
the new ones come, and from present ap
pearanees it is likely that such will be tn,
result.
