granted to Albert Taylor, of Eagle LaAe.
Mrs. Cotter, a resident of lower
town, died yesterday, and the funeral
services were held this forenoon at ST..
Johns Catholic church.
Our citizens awoke this morning to
find the ground whitened by sheet of
snow. There WASH I much OF ''the beau
tIful, but il served as a reminder of
what is to come during the next four
months. 1t also made people hustle
around after storm windows. coal and
wood.
The big mill will shut down Io-mor~
row for two weeks or more. During
this time some repairs wall be made.
The cause of the shutdown is due large
" to the poor flour markets and the
difficulty in obtaining good milling
wheat.
There is much to anticipate in the
coming of Mrs. Scott-Slddons next
week. Inheriting the genius ola re-

In Memory of PearlIe Srearns, of
Eagle Lake.

She has gone away to the home above,
Where all bright angels dwell;
She has left behind the friends she loved,
And has bid them long farewell
No more her cheerful voice Wen hear,
Nor her smiling face we'll see;
But we know she has Joined the angel throng.
And from sorrow and pain is free.
The dark river of death she has safely crossed,
And is now on the other shore;
With her kindred and friends for a time she
had lost,
But now meets them to part never more.
In her heavenly home so pure and bright,
A snowy white robe she will wear;
And with harp and with crow.i she will sing
the glad song,
That is sung by the angels there.
In that mansion above there's a home for US
ALL
That our Saviour has gone to prepares:
And our friends for US wait at the beautiful
gate,
To welcome us when we get there.
o! what JOY 1t will be- to know we shall greet
Our friends in that home in the sky;
And to know that on earth we part but to meet
Again in that sweet bye and bye.
May we all of her friends she has left here be.
low,
Try to live SO that when life is done,
The Master will gladly his blessing bestow,
And will welcome us all safe at home.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE RELIEF
AND AID SOCIETY.
[MRs. c. $. TAYLOR, SECRETARY. !

| Mis-. y. .. TAI LOR, SECRETARY
At the sixteenth annual meeting OF
the Relief and Aid Society held Novem-
Der 9Th, at the house of Mrs. w. b.
Craig, the president in the chair, the
reports of the secretary, the treasurer,
and the secretary of the Industrial
School were read and adopted.
sEoRErARY's REPORT.
| This is the sixteenth annual meeting
of the Relief and Aid Society, and
though the workers during the past
year have been fewer perhaps than in
former years, great deal of good has
been done among the poor of our city,
and in more systematic manner pToba-
bly, than in other years. Last winter was
one Of unusual severity and long dura-
ton so that heavy demands were made
upon our funds. Forty families il Is es-
timated have been assisted through the
year by fuel and food, and in some cases
medicine was furnished the sick.
Through the generosity of some of our
citizens we provided about thirty-tive
families with comfortable Christmas
dinners. We have held nine regular
meetings through the year, discontinue
ing the meetings during July and AU-
gust. We had but one entertainment,
the Mother Goose party, which Melted
us one hundred dollars. We hope the
directresses for the coming year, while
working with renewed zeal and the
hearty cooperation necessary to carry
on the work, will do their best to assist
the officers of the society to conduct its |
affairs in a business like way, keeping |
strict account of every dollar expended, |
remembering 1t is not private funds |
they are using, and that this money |
should be carefully and judiciously laid |
out. Ours is labor of love, our only |
satisfaction being in the knowledge of
want and suffering relieved, and il no |
gratitude is manifested it is noble |
work and blessed is he that consider
eth the poor"
The retiring president was rendered a |
vote of thanks for her untiring and con-
slant labors through the past four wears.
An APPROPRIATION of twenty-five dol
lars for the Industrial School was asked
for and granted.

THE BIG JUBILEE.
Everything Points to Grand Success
To- Night.
Points of Interest.

The plans for the big celebration are
being well made and nothing can pre-
vent the affair from being a success on a
large sale Some difficulty is being ex-
perienced in securing torches, but the
entire state is being secured and it is
hoped to supply nearly all of the great
crowd with lights.
A special train from St. James and
Madelia was arranged for to-day. II
will leave the former place at D y. m,
Fare for round trip, st. James Sl.50, Ma
della 81 90. All the various roads are
making preparations to bring In the
crowds.
TO THE LADIES.
1t is expected to furnish refreshments
for all the visitors, and to do this the
Republican ladies are requested to con-
tribute supplies. Sandwiches, dough-
nuts, etc, will be greatly desired and
those contributing are asked to send the
same to the Barr building during the al
ternoon. The old soldiers supper will
also be at this place, and the ladies OF
the Relief Society, who have it in charge,
will see that whatever is left of the pro-
visions goes to those needy.
THE PARADE.
The same officers who had charge oil
the last parade are expected to serve
again. The line OF march will be nearly
similar, and the places of rendezvous
for the several divisions the same.
Those who intend to carry torches in
any of these will please report at the
designated places promptly.
OTHER POINTS.
Everybody should carry a torch il
there are enough to go around.
This affair ought to be the grandest
ever seen in the State, and it can be
made so if our Republican friends will
take hold and do their duty.
Decorate and illuminate.
The fireworks will be grand.
Reports from all parts of the county
indicate that the mounted men will be
too numerous to count.
The finance committee has been quite
successful, but contributions are still
needed.
