the fine spring temperature and clear skies
of last Sunday and Monday. the worst snow
storm OF the winter was raging in the north

traffic was suspended, and the mail service
knocked out" for several hours.
| A word IN all kindness to the Farmers AL
lance IN this county: Don't boycott. 1t
VIII bring you to grief, just as certain as
grass grows and water runs. In so far as
the whole world is brotherhood, is it en-
durable and capable of being made pleasant
and profitable. Injury to any portion of IA
community is bound to affect the whole, and
this axiom applies more unrestrIctedly to
trade and commerce than any other of its
concerns.
The i. b. Comet Band serenaded J. T.
Axe on Tuesday evening of last week-com-
piimentary to his appointment as Register

iof their raid, but on the succeeding FRIDAY
evening, The Band was agreeably surprised

bundle of cigars in token of the apprecia-
ton of Its complimentary visit. \ vote of
thanks was returned by the boys.
TX. h. Purkiss, who has been absent for
over year, returned home on visit last
Sunday. He has been working as a mill
wright, in Minneapolis, for roller mill con-
tractors, and will probably be called to his
work again in couple of weeks. His sister,
Miss Carrie Purkiss, came down with him,
Ior short rest. she is ok-keeper In the
western Union Telegraph office at st. Paul.
They both are delighted with the climate of
this section, and are enjoying the change
from thirty degrees below zero to sixty
above, and declare that the touch of the earth
to the feet is grateful after a whole winters
soJourn on top of a four-foot snow level.
About month ago, Mr.. 5. II. jackson, of
this place, boarded one Of the regular pas
senser trains for st. Louis When tickets ~
time came around he banded the conductor
a ten-ride Communication ticket, Iimi,ed to
three months. 1t had been issued to Mr..
jackson on December 3lst, 1887, and was
good until March 3lSt, 1888. But the clerk |
who had filed out The blank places, by mis- |
take made the ticket TO expire Oh March 3lst, |
1874 slip of The pen not unusual about |
the closing OF the old year or the beginning
of the new. The conductor refused to re-
ceive the ticket, and demanded money fare. |
Mr.. Jackson insisted that his ticket was all |
right, and poinied out that the last was
obviously mistake; but it was no 90, and |
he was forciblv elected from the train at |
Middiebrook. He returned home and insti- |
tuted suit against the railroad company III |
once, and we have Just c.,rned bat the mat |
ter has been compromised: even big rail-
road corporation knows bad rs we'll rs a
good thing when it sees it.
We this week give place to a statement
from Mr.. Trclenger in regard to his trial and |
conviction for assault upon ST. Vaughn Il
couple of weeks since. Personally, we know |
nothing of the facts in the case, except as
they are said TO have been given on the wit
ness stand. Mr.. L. admits having thrown
the cheese in Vaughn's face, but says it was
an accident Did he so state to the COM
plainant at the time, and excuse himself for
it: Tn is what he should have done. The
fact that Vaughn is "nigger' ought to have
made Mr.. Trolenger more immediate and
ample in his apology than if it had been a
white man he had inadvertently assaulted;
for the latter could have resented ir under
better advantage. Judge Dinger is good
enough Democrat for those who know him
best, and his judgment,we are fain to believe,
was based upon the law and the evidence,
and, such being the case, he cannot be blam-
ed for acting in accordance with his official
oath. While we do not claim that Mr.. Troll
enger purposely insu ted Vaughn-and, since
he says it was an accident, we believe him
we do insist that he should have then
and there stated that it lrdS an accident, and
that would have ended the matter. Vaughn
says he asked Mr.. 7. "what he meant by
that" but that Mr.. Il. only laughed and re-
fused to answer him, ard, we believe, so
testified on the witness stand.
W. p. McCarver, proprietor of the Great
Saddlery and Harness Emporium, thanks his
patrons, friends and the public generally, for
their past favors, and respectfully solicits a
continuance of the same.
