1t is now announced that the new
village on the Burlington & Northern

be known as Hager, hereafter. We
learned last winter by private letter
from prominent railway official that
the name Hager had been given the
prospective burg, but did no. feel at
liberty to then state such t. be the
fact. The place was SO named in

Our regular Prescott correspondent
failed to connect this week and hence
we are without any detailed account
of the Decoration Day exercises con-
Quoted there. We are informed, how
ever, that the program was carried
out in the presence of the greatest
thrOng of people that ever assembled
in that city and that the entire affair
was a complete success, upon which
we congratulate the G.. 4. II. Post of
that place. Large delegations from
the Ellsworth and River Falls Posts
reinforced their Prescott comrades on
that occasion.
Mr.. j. Hoofstitler, of Illinois, will
be at the NJ. E. church in this city
tonight, where he will deliver an adj
dress upon the subject of Temperance
and Prohibition. This gentleman

ence. There will be no charge for
admission. This meeting will be fol-
lowed by others, and Mr.. HOofstitler
expects to remain here a number of
days to pave the way for the organi-
cation throughout the State and the

county is now abaut to be commenced.
The Milton Telephone comes out
for Prof. J. Il. Thayer for State Su-
perintendent. All that the Telephone
says in relation to the ability of Pro-
fessOr Thayer to fill this Office is true,
but should there be a widespread sem
/ timent in favor of TenOminating any
of the present State officers we are of
/ the opinion that he would not wish to
/ be regarded as a candidte, there being
no reason for the denomination of any
of the others that would not apply
with equal force in the case OF Hon.
n. p. Haugen. of this city, our excel
lent and capable Railroad Commits
| Sioner.
We have received from f. Il. Lang,
Scotsman, of BarabOo, Wisconsin, a
collection of garden seeds as samples
of the live northern grown seeds pro-
duced by him. He has established a
reputation for furnishing choice, har-
dy seeds and his recent election to the
Office of Mayor of the city of Baraboo
attests to his responsibility and stand
/ ing at his home where he is best
known, and he enjoys the distinction
of being the youngest Mayor in the
State. IL you order but ten cents
worth of seeds of Mr.. Lang this year
you will next year receive, free Of
cost, one OF his large Seed Catalogues.
