from Redwood falls, where they enlivened
the citizens on the Fourth. They were
gaily bedecked with water lilies and evil

Logs and Lumber.

J. B. Council. scaler, who has just come
down from the north fork of the Eau Claire.
informs the Eau Claire Free Press that
while the drive proper on the Eau Claire
and its tributaries was completed some time
ago, the work of getting in the old logs,
which were left high and dry by the water
of last fall. still involves considerable labor
and quite force of men. He thinks there
are now about seventy-five men operating
on the Eau Claire, and on the north fork of
that river twenty-five yoke of oxen are be-
ing used in putting in old logs.
On the Chippewa and its tributaries the
drives are reported practically completed.
OF the 500 or LOCO men employed at the
most active times. there are now probably
about two hundred left. The drives are
nearly all in or about in, except on the
Bruno, and the boys have been coming
down in crowds.

the improvement made in the church during

able weather of the past month has brought
forward the crops. Corn, potatoes aud
vegetables are in fine condition and promise
an abundant yield. The hay crop will be
good, but not what it was last year. Wheat

The board of education has decided to
display from the cupola of the Irving
school signals indicating changes in the
weather. Fair and foul weather flags will
be displayed, as will also flag of warning
on the approach of a cold wave. It's to be
hoped that the state university will have
established a state signal service before
next spring. as there are now a sufficient
number of local stations in the state TO fur
nish the necessary data, and ii is a we'll
known fact that the general government
has provided generously for this service by
grant of swamp lands. If il is true, as
asserted, that the regents are in possession
of means and a room sufficient for this ser
vice, is itnOt fair question TO ask if the
state would not receive more direct and inn

While the steamer City of Winona, with

was landing at Alma on Saturday, she ran
against small rowboat belonging to a
travelling sleight-of-hand performer and
slightly damaged it. As the skiff was i'm
the way Of the steamers regular landing
place, the officers did not feel disposed To
settle for the damage done, and sailed
away without doing so, but on the return
trip, as the City of Wmona landed the
sheriff boarded her with a warrant and
made an attempt to tie up the boat until
the damaged skiff was paid for. The Off
GERS. however. were on the alert, for as soon
as the sherif's object was seen, the mate
rang the bell, the gang-plank was pulled in
and the steamer started down stream with
the disappointed sheriff on board. A land
ing was made below Alma, and was let off.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Fusion.

Dpecltl 10 inc OlODS'
Dies MONIES, July 9.-The returns from
the various Greenback county conventions
show sentiment generally favorable to an
alliance with the Democracy for the coming
campaign, but the expression i'll several
counties is a cautious one. Thus in
Story county the resolutions say that
Cleveland's administration has been
disappointment to the Green
hackers and in the event of fusion the Iowa
Democrats must make an anti-monopoly
platform. The Polk county convention has
suggested that the Greenbackers should
have the lieutenant governor and superin-
tendent Of public instruction, though it is
said that the latter was not claimed at the
joint conference of the state committee. The
Mahaska county Greenbackers still occupy
their former stand against alliance, but the
causes therefor-one of which has been
want of harmony between w. L. Smith and
Gen. Weaver-have been much s0ftened by
recent events, and any lingering antagonism
will be more than counterbalanced by the
sudden exodus from the Republicans by the
colored miners of the same county. 1t now
looks as though from ID, 600 to II, 0G0 Green
hackers can be counted Oh as reliable for a
fusion ticket, and that such will be advised
at their state convention.
