Mr.. Chas. T.. Roos left for Saltwater
Monday to attend the meeting OF the
State Pharmaceutical Association.
The sheriffs departments in the
county jail!are being renovated, car
penters and painters being employed at
them this week.
Mrs. Babtist Karl left last Thursday
evening for Milwaukee, accompanied
by Miss Emma Huebner, who will visit
with her sister, Mrs. Rev. Schulz at
klkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
The Union Hotel, which is doing a
thriving business. has been renovated
from top to bottom, and presents
throughout a first-class, highly respect
able appearance.
Miss Emma Scherer gave pleasant
interview to the Mixed Choir of the N.
U. 7, " last Wednesday evening, who
came to bid her adieu previous to her
departure on visit to Cincinnati, Ohio.
Mr.. Henry Eckstein and wife. former
residents of Milford and for some time
living at Winona, arrived in the city
last week and will stay to witness the
festivals to take place on the latter part
of this month.
Another proof that it is good policy
to raise full-blooded stock in preference
to cheap grades was presented by Mr..
John Rooster of Linden, who sold last
week one Berkshire and one Poland
China hog, weighing together. 1905 lbs.
and demanding $4.85 per cwt.

council proceedings last Friday, With
out authority appended the mayors APP
proval to them, which placed the mat

the paying of bounty for killed gophers,

themselves, and by paying premiums,
rid their fields of the marauders. MIR.
Rooster of Linden paid 2 cts. a piece
for gophers caught on his land, and had
the satisfaction of having 400 killed.
We noticed an agent for barb-wire
attachment, which serves to prevent
cattle from injuring themselves, display
his wares on the wire-fences near the
hospital. We hope the day may come
when this cruel style of fence, which
ruins many a valuable animal. will be
superseded by something better.
Not alone that the mischievous go
pher ruins our corn-felds, he Indirectly
causes other trouble, as Mr.. August
Wegener of Lamberton can tell. While
. he was extracting cap from a powder
loaded gun cartridge, which he sup

burning the palm of his right hand
We receive our due share of CORE
spondence, but never before did we know
that spirit from the other world
deemed us and our journal worthy of a
full news report from the region beyond
the river. The epistle which proves
that the spirit must have been the ami
mus of q Shakspearean admirer, sadly
pictures the dilapidated condition of the
church-yard in which 81 friend sleeps
the eternal sleep, but for want of space
in our columns we must keep the con-

spirits heart will not be wounded there

At the meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the new road. which took
place at St. Paul last week, the surveys
hitherto made were faverably consid-
cred, and it was decided to proceed
with the southwestern survey toward
point on the Sioux City road, not yet
