The granite business is on the boom here

our merchants. There are about 80 to &C

Our public school meeting will soon come
off, and hope our voters will look deeper
jato their interests in educating their children
by voting a six months school. 1t will be a
very small tax in proportion to each family,
and we can get teacher SO much cheaper
and better for six months school than four
months. A good teacher will not take a four
months school if be can get longer term
elsewhere.

MIR. Oliver Morris is down with the measles.

1t is bad policy to dodge from measles-so
much better to have them while young.
Our saloon is still closed, and no whisky in
own--no doubt good thing, as the town
full of strangers, and we have no town
marshal. 1 have seen drunken men ride
around on the depot platform on their horses,
with pistol drawn, and no one could say a
word.
The tie business is closing in. Farmers
have to pillow and prepare for corn. Saw
mills are running on time. Lumber is IN
little better demand. Prices the same.

CHICAGO. May 15.--As officer Van Pelt
was on his way to tho Hinman street
station to-day he was hailed by Mrs. NJ.
p. Hunting, residing at 400 South Wood
street, who was carrying dying child in
her arms. Handing 1t to the officer she
said she found IL on her doorstep. The
officer took the infant to the Twelfth
street station, and stated how no came by
It, Capt. O'Donnell sent an officer to the
woman's house, where he found seven
other little babies in two beds,
each with an empty nurse bottle
by its side. They were almost starved
and nearly dead. The officer reported
the situation to the captain, and war
rant was at once issued for tho arrest Of
Mrs. Hunting, The Humane Society
was also notified, and Officer Dudley went
with the matron and found the infants
still lying in a dying condition. Upon
looking over the register of the house 1t
was learned that Mrs Hunting had re-
ceived forty.sevcn babies to care for
since last July, besides twelve that she
had claimed were left on her doorstep,
and which were sent to the Foundlings'
Home by the police. 1t is supposed By
the police now that whenever baby
was taken sick she gave 1t to the officer
on the beat, claiming 1t was left on her
doorstep. The woman says that DIR.
Shipman has sent her the infants whom
ever the homo was too crowded to take
them in.

No Money for volunteers, Claims.

The appropriation for the payment of
bounty to volunteers aud their widows
and legal heirs and for the pay of two
and three year volunteers has been ex-
hausted. After June 20 there will be no
funds available for claims of volunteers
for arrears of pay and bounties nor any
claims of officers aud soldiers Of the army
that accrued prior to June 80, 1883, OK
cept for three months extra pay for
services in the Mexican war. No appro-
priation was made at the last session of
Congress to pay these claims for the next
fiscal year. In consequence of this no
claims can be paid until the noxt Con-
grcss makes an appropriation. The sec
ond auditor Of the treasury, who audits
these claims, estimates that an appropria-
tion of $500, 900 will be necessary to make
the payments. lie also estimates that
10000 or more individuals throughout the
country will be comTelled to wait for
their allowances until Congress makes the
appropriation. More than 700 letters u
day are received by the second auditor in
relation to claims pending in his office.

MINNEAroLrs, MINI, May 15.-The
Journals Owatonna Mimi. special says;
At IL o'clock last night the house of q
Norwegian farmer, named Henry Lewis
ton, living about six miles southeast Of
this city, was burned and five of his
children-four boys aged 1s, Is, o, and 4,
and girl aged 10 years-perished in the
flames. The family, consisting Of him
self, wife, seven children, and q hired
man, were all sleeping at the time in the
second story. Lewiston, his wife, and
two of the children, and the hired man,
with great difficulty and more or less in
jury, escaped. SaIewiston made several
frantic efforts to reach the children still
asleep up stairs, but as there was no door
or window through which this could be
done, except the window on the side of
the house already in flames, he was pow
erless to rescue them. A few bones and q
small quantity Of charred flesh wholly
unrecognizable were all that could be
found Of those who met SO horrible fate.
