The river this fall is even more uncer-
i tain than usual. Heavy rains above rais-
ed the water higher than it; had been
since last spring and quicksand was al
most as abundant as water. Several
teams had trouble in getting ont Of the
.treacherous stuff. To-day, it is rapidly
lowering and Is easily: fordable. 4.
"A special telegram was received from,
Theodore Roosevelt by the Ferris broth-.
eys, that lie was defeated in the election
for mayor Of New York city. There was
only remote chance OF his election owing
to the division in sentiment among the
democrats. He made good fight, nbly;
backed BY the best citizens Of New York
hut the antizreform element was too
strong. s;
WiH. Minty, form erly telegraph ope-
rator here, has resigned a similar posit-
{ ion to accept; an Office on the Missouri
Pacific. at Lincoln, Neb. 4
School opens again next Monday with
Miss Ellison, who has given entire salts

j. D. Carver will start tomorrow for
Winona, where he will start in business.
This move is necessitated by the sick

( It seems proper to give an explanation
of the defeat Of A. T. Packard as Justice
Of the peace. He had absolutely and un-
qualifedly refused to run for any Office
and returned tho same answer when
urged to run for justice Of the peace by
Messrs. Willis Eaton and Gregor Lang
and many others. He even went SO far
in his refusal as to say that lie. would
>not even run for an Office for ten times
the combined salaries of all the county
4 officers. Messrs. Eaton and Lang finally
i put the matter on, q basis Of pure per
sonaI obligation, urging that hi. was the
I stockmens' choice and that he should
{ throw aside personal feeling and obIige
them to that extent. This; was the rea-
/ son which impelled him to accept,a nom
ination which he not only did not want,
E butsWbieh under any other circumstan-
3 ces he would have refused. AS a conse-
/ quence Of the manner of his nomination,
1 he was perfectly free in saying, when
i the matter was brought up, that he
should, In case of election, follow con-
sistentIy the path he has so clearly
marked out, Of pposition to the ."'ba-a-d
man. idea and would give every such
offender the extreme limit the law al
lowed. This remark was the direct
/ cause Of his defeat: One Of the men who
heard 1t, immediately spread itwhere it
7 would do the candidate the most good or
Harm depending on the light in which
the matter lis looked at He then
scratched all the tickets at hand, substi-
y tuting the name of j. ID. Foster for that
of the regular nominee. The defeated
. caIldi date has no reason to be ashamed
OF tile remark that caused his defeat and
4 In that light his defeat is one Of the
highest compliments that could be paid
them. OF course he does not relish the
defeat itself, but he would Ear sooner b
( defeated than have it supposed that lie
would rsnounce the opinions he has al
s. ways upheld. Frank D. Foster, the elect
Z ed candidate knew nothing Of the matter
8 until after the election and freely ex-
presses IFS opinion that IT was a contem-
piible Iick. .s5s:S
To close ont the stock Of studebaker
wagons nowon hand, 4 will make prices
for cash that are lower than the whole
sale factory rate. The wagons are new
and firstrclass and have studebaker Bros.
fulI guarantees sas 70 scnndness. They
will be sold cheaper than any wagons
THAT have sssr been sold sinstllis country
and cheaper than they can be bought iii
! car lots at the factory. The only reason
for making these rates Is to close out
stock on hand. They must and shall so
soon.
