PERSONALS.

yeast.
There is to be meeting OF the Fire
company at the engine house to-
morrow evening, at 1880. CHIEF
Maginnis earnestly requests every
member to be present, as business OF
great Importance is to come before
the meeting.
Owing to the temporary closing OF
one of the main elevators at Duluth,
and also of the unprecedentedly heavy
movement ofgrain to that point, 1t
would not be surprising to see the
grain blockade at interior stations.
Cars are piling up at Duluth and are
becoming scarce here, and especially
at less important points, and unless
there is more ears furnished, the ele-
vators will be soon blocked. AS yet,
however, there is plenty of room here,
and with two lines of railroad, we
ought to be able to get the wheat
away over one line or the other.
There was almost sensation III one
of the churches last Sabbath. A lady
present, accompanied by her four year
old boy, was startled during the
sermon by q clicking sound in the
vicinity of the little fellow, and on
looking around was almost horrified
to see the youngster busily engaged
in putting chestnut gong i'll ringing
order. 1t was only the fact that the
bell was slightly out of killer, that
saved a scene. AS it was, those in the
vicinity, who saw the performance
had great difficulty in keeping sober
countenance. A moment more ana
that gong would have rang out, and
the result would have been paralyzing.
The editors sudden absence, and the
hurry and rush incident to last
week, caused US to omit mention of
deed of heroism performed by one of
our citizens. c. P. Maginnis, during
the terrible train accident at Rio,
Wisconsin. on the 9th. ult. Mr..
Maginnis, who fortunately was
among those in the cars not derailed,
performed gallant and heroic work,
risktng his own life in saving the
lives of those imprisoned in the burn
ing cars. All present at that awful
time bear testimony to his brave and
courageous heroism, and we VINO
know the man, and have seen him
in the hour of danger, can say that
his conduct then was but characters
tic. Always cool, prompt and de-
liberate, Mr.. Maginnis is the man for
such trying emergency.
Niemackle, who resided between
Donnelly and Herman, suicided last
week by shooting. Mr.. Neimackie
was an old resident in that vicinity,
and was man Of considerable means,
and a day or two before his death
came to Morris and had u will made.
Deceased, so we are informed was
very severe and harsh husband and
father, and as a result his family re-
lations were not very pleasant at
times. His morose disposition caused
him to brood over and exaggerate his
troubles, and doubtless led to his rash
act, His method of shutfiing himself
out of existence was very effective
and successful, and was accomplished
by placing the barrel of heavy
charged shot gun in his mouth and
pulling the trigger with his toes.
Our very worthy contemporary seems
to think that Mr.. Helgeson will not,
and does not, give the balance of the
ticket credit for their joint aud un-
ceasing efforts in his behalf. MIR.
Helgeson heard of the handsome vote
in Morris, Scott aud Donnelly, and
knows and acknowledges the faithful
work done. He realizes that MIR.
Wilcox was the victim of the dissen-
sions resulting from the Kindred
Nelson contest, and knows the Suns
aIlusion was simply to make him feel
bad over the result. He only feels
sorry, however, for the Suns silly at
tempt to mislead by misstatements,
and very foolish endeayor to substi-
tute folly for facts, as if he was thus
to be imposed on. We say for Mr..
Helgeson, Rats.
