John Mahoney of Fairfield and
Lizzie Mccarthy of Morris were
married at the Catholic church Ofthis
city yesterday morning. A reception
was given at the residence of the
groom in Fairfield last evening which
was largely attended. The bride is a
sister of p. A. and Nj. r. Mccarthy of
this place.
VIM. Noting has returned to the
city and says that he has now come
to stay. He has visited numerous
places during the past summer, but
has found none that are more lively
and none in which the battle for daily
| bread can be carried on more success
fully or more easily. This item should
have appeared last week.
J. L. Gould while on the way from
his home in the town of Scott to the
city, happened by just in time to do
some hard and valuable work in pre-
venting last Friday afternoons prairie
| fire from taking S. P. Schotield's
residence and barn. Both buildings
! would have burned had it not been
for Mr.. Gould's timely efforts.
Strange as it may seem, there are
| farmers in this county whose grain
and hay stacks and farm buildings
are still unprotected from prairie
fires. The news of losses in Dakota
have no effect upon them and we pre-
sumo nothing but the burning of their
own property will waken them from
their stupid lethargy.
The Catholic fair will be held in
Phoenix Hall on October 2S q, %
and %. Preparations for it are now
being made and good time is as
sured for those who attend. 1t is
reasonably certain, too, that it will
prove a profitable undertaking for
the "Sisters of Mercy, udder whose
auspices it is to be given. Bear the
dates in mind and be sure to attend.
After an illness of three weeks,
Emma Caroline, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. X. J. Husevold, died at the
family residence in the town of
Framnas on Sunday October 18th at
5 o'clock A: M. of typhoid fever. The
deceased was fifteen years and nine
months. Her death brings sadness
not only to members of the family
but to large circle OF friends and
acquaintenances.
VIM, Riordon is in town and while
subscribing and paying for this paper
for the coming year remarked: 'In
order to get the news of the county l
| find must have the TRIBUNE The
| truthfulness of Mr.. .Riordon's assertion
| has been demonstrated over and over
| again and we take pleasure in send
| ing the TRIBUNE to him and to all
others who wish 10 "get the news"
Dennis Dewan had a load of wheat
stolen a few nights ago: The follow
ing night Mr.. Dewan spent in his
granary and ABOUT midnight received
| a call from a man who, when he found
| that the granary was occupied, ap-
peared "lost" and began to enquire
| directions instead of cropping his way
to the wheat pin. 80 long as such
people are liable to become lost at
night, it may be we'll to keep the grain
EQafoeu'
! The elevators both remained closed
last Saturday forenoon. AS the FaF-
mer's Warehouse was not ready to
receive grain and as Wells Pearce &
CO. could not obtain 9 sufficient num-
ber of cars, there was difficulty ia
handling the wheat brought in and a
blockade was threatned. In the af-
ternoon the elevators again opened
and ali was well. The object of the
elevators in closing, tue TFfRpNE is
not able to fathom.
! Last week the TRIBUNE stated that
about IS 600. 90 was sent from this viii
lage to insurance companies during
the month ofSeptember. Our stating
that amount is the result of a misun-
derstanding and is wrong. One half
of So, 100000 is nearer the truth, In
