/ An honest man is the noblest work
of God" We find in the Helena, Mont,

Matt Miles of Billings. As Matt was for
merly an Austin boy, our heart still goes
out to him.
Last week J. w. Hooper, of this city.
lost pocket-book containing $3.50, and
Immediately advertised its loss. The
pocket-bOok was picked up shortly after
wards by Mr.. NJ. W. Miles, postal clerk
on the Northern Pacific mail route from
here to Billings. Mr.. Miles announced
the finding Of the money and advertised
for the owner in the Herald. Yesterday
evening Mr.. Miles got back to Helena and
turned over the money and pocket book
TO MIR. Hooper, who had no difficulty
in establishing his ownership. Mr..
Miles refused any reward whatever con-
tent with the consciousness of an upright
deed.
The State Railroad Commissioners
Messrs. Baker, Murdoch and Becker-put

of 1858, when he was making speeches as
the Democratic candidate for Governor

through this country then by team. Rail
roads were not nearer Minnesota than
Dunlieth, a point opposite Dubuque
This country was wilderness. Mr. Becker
afterward became President of the first
railroad built in the state-the St. Paul
& Pacific. He was highly pleased with
the development of the country, and also
with our town and it's fine buildings.
Only one complaint was made to the
Com ission-by A. V: Ellis, in regard TO
the Milwaukee Co. refusing to grade up
to the crossings near his place. There
Was really no opportunity for complaints,
as there was virtually no notice of their
coming. A date will be fixed for them IN
the next month or two, and sufficient no.
tice given 80 that all may he notified.

THE ALBERT LEA EDITORS VISIT
AUSTIN

AUSTIN.
THE Albert Lea Standard, in speaking
of the Kellogg concert, says: The con-
cert by the Clara Louise Kellogg COM
pany at Austin last Friday evening, at
forded several Of our people all oppor-
tunity to hear the famous singer, and
also to visit friends in that pleasant and
flourishing sister city. The party that
attended was composed of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Ransom, Miss Walsh, Mrs. Tan
ner, Mrs. A. Armstrong, Miss Mary
Armstrong, Miss Ellen McWhorter,
Chas. E. Briggs, Miss Anna Tockle, Mr..
and Mrs. 0. n. Olberg, Mr.. and Mrs. T.
V. Knatvold, c. L. Luce and Mr.. and
Mrs H. G. Day
Those who were not entertained by
friends, found hospitable quarters at the
popular Mansfield House, where they
were the constant recipients Of the cour-
teous attentions Of the chivalrous colonel
and pillar Of democracy, who therein
presides. Friday afternoon, the party,
accompanied by various friends visited
the principal points of interest and
drove through the fine residence streets
of the city. The court house and the
new opera house were objects of especial
compliment, and generally the city dis
played the enterprising thrift, and good
taste of its intelligent and progressive
people.
From the junior Of the Enterprise: We
went osseasibly to hear Kellogg, but more
particularly to see the finest court house
in the state Of course everybody stopped
at the Mansfield House, one of the best
houses in the country, and the result was
good time We Saw the new court
house. the elegant new opera house, the
editors, who are rapidly becoming MI
lionaires, new railroad. and several ruins
of former places of habitation. We are
under obligations to c. II. Davidson, edi-
tor of the TRANSCRIPT, and H. O. Bias
ford, editor of the Register, for favors
shown and if we did anything wrong we
are ready and willing to be forgiven.
Austin seems about to enter upon an era
of more than ordinary prosperity and we
| should be pleased to see the widest hopes
of its inhabitants realized, and some of
them are pretty wild.

We received an introduction to Mr.. Pat
Flynn, prominent member of what has
been known as the civilians" railroad
Mr.. Flynn has the contract for grading
seventy one miles of the road between
Rlcevi|le, small place little west Of
the center of Howard county, and indie
pendencc. He has force of some fifty
men at work and almost nine miles graded
south of Riceville. The company was or.
gained at Independence. and the road is
to be called the Chicago. Iowa. and Nor
thern Pacific railway. The road coming
from Riceville will enter the county in
the north east section of Deerfeld town
ship, and follow the Wapsie down through
Washington, passing New Hampton three
and half miles west. and running out of
Richland township. The respective des-
tinations of this road are Chicago and
Minneapolis. This is about all the infor-
nation Mr.. Flynn felt disposed to give
however. that the grading would be
pushed forward as fast as the people
along the line responded to the demands
of the company, which Mr. Flynn con-
sidered very moderate.-Neu Hampton
