1t is quietly rumored on the streets
now that one of our enterprising CD
business men has jumped the town and
left his creditors minus several hundred
dollars. Later developments viii doubt
less 60 to show that this game has been
maturing for some time and it only re-
manned question of time when the
bubble should break, which may throw
our little city in considerable excite
ment.
Wannemaker's new store building is
approaching completion as fast as pos
sible. When finished it will add much
to the value and beauty of the village.
DIR. McDermott's new building is en-
closed, and when done the Doctor will
have a nicely located office.
Julius Simon is in Chicago this week
for the purpose of purchasing his fall
stock of goods. When they arrive he will
no doubt let the HERALD readers know
all about them. He is expected home on
Friday.
There was a mush and milk and ice
cream festival ut the M. E. church last
Tuesday evening and good time was

George Hoods little baby was buried
yesterday in the cemetery near Dyer
school-house.
Mrs. Frank Roach went to Prairie ,iu
Chen Tuesday, in answer to telegram
received announcing the sudden illness
of her sister, Mrs Andrew Abrahams, OF
Mt. Hope, who, it was feared, might not
recover. Mrs. Abrahams has been re-
ceiving treatment at DIR. Commits Turk
ish bath institute. and few days ago
had been taken with neuralgia in the
stomach.
Sam Stone and his wife have gone to
Huntley, Mimi, on visit.
John Norris's team has run away
again. This time it was in Montfort.
The team ran into barbed-wire fence
and threw MIR. Norris out and broke his
arm and hurt his daughter considerably,
besides breaking up the buggy. When
the team was caught the hired man un
dertook to drive them home, but they
ran away again. This Same team took
a ramble down the Fcnnimore streets
some time ago, and turned Il double
somersault down in front of Mike
MONTE saloon.
Word has been received that Robert
Narrower, Jr., of Mt. Hope, is sick and
not expected to live.
George Perry's wife was taken sud-
denly i'll Il day or two ago and the doc

fever
The receipts were over S22 at the
church festival Tuesday evening.
That was quite "a hot and spirited dis
pute between one of our business men
and prospective candidate for the of
flee of sheriff the other day; happily it
ceased without anything stronger than
word blow being exchanged.
John Dolphin and John A. Thomas,
both candidates for county offices, were
in town Wednesday.
The present outlook is now appearing
very favorable for railroad connection
with Prairie du Chen, perhaps before
the next winter is over. We learn that
nearly all the railroad men have been
taken off from the Galena end of this
road and will soon be moved over this
way to help our narrow gaugers finish
widening and ballasting the road bed
here. There has been more than a
thousand carloads of gravel brought up
from the sand pits of Woodman already
and placed on the track until they have
1t all done now as far as the Horseshoe
and they intend getting through to Fenni-
more in about month. The company
will probably extend its line from Wood
man to Prairie ia Chen this fall and run
into the new Union depot which is now
being built there and must be finished by
Nov. l. Mr. Loomis, proprietor of the
Werley steam saw mills, is now trying
to get the contract for saving out the
ties for the new extension and thinks his
mills capacity now is sufficient to get
them out as fast as they will be needed.
