''Von Sieben die Haesslichste' will
be rendered at Turner Hall next Sun
day evening by our local amateurs. 1t
is charming comedy, and if well
played, will no doubt please the play
goers.
We notice that the farmers of Ohm
stead County, acting on the suggestions
brought forward in our lately published
article on chinch bugs, are seeding clo-
yer with their wheat, being satisfied
from previous experiments that such
step is profitable one.
Sundays snow, which covered the
ground to the depth of several inches,
was just the thing looked for by our
farmers, who can no longer complain of
sadly needed water; besides the plenti-
full rain and slight frost has given the
fond hopes of the misch;evous chinch-
bugs hard blow.
The wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
Baer, solemnized last week, was at
tended by pqany friends and relatives
from abroad, among them being Mr..
and Mrs. Adolph Baer of Minneapolis.
Miss Sophie Baer of St. Paul, the
Messrs. Albert, William and Rudolph
Ochs of Faribault, and Mr. Ath. Henle
of Springfield.
The Brown Co. Sunday School Con-
vention begins its two days session to-
morrow at the M. E. Church. A very
interesting and instructive programme
will be carried out, and we would here
draw special attention to Thursday
evenings chiIdrens' meetinng under
the guidance of State Superintendent S.
Sherin. Let all attend.
According to City Ordinance No. 10,
Sec. 10, which reads:-''That no person
or persons shall ride or drive or cause
to be ridden or driven. any animal,
carriage Or vehicle, through any funer-
al, military or orderly civic procession,''
q misdemeanor is created by acting
contrary to its specifications. Persons
should therefore bear in mind that the
law will promptly redress any offense
as here laid down.
During the thunderstorm and rain in
I the night of April 25th the barn of An
ton Sperl in Cottonwood was struck by
lightning, which, killing one horse and
tanning another, set fire to the hay loft,
in which was also stored considerable
quantity of oats. In spite Of the siren.
uous efforts made by Mr.. Sperl and
some of his neighbors, who however
succeeded in rescuing the other horses,
the whole barn, which was insured,
burnt down.
Old man Lueth, while gathering drift
wood on the Minnesota river near the
old bridge, was treated to cold bath
Monday afternoon, but succeeded with
out delay to climb into his boat again.
He calmly pursued his object, and when
sympathizing friend asked him if it
were not better for him to change his
clothes and to repair home, he shook
his head, intinating that the bath not
even wetted his skin. Well we con-
graduate the old gent on his vigorous
constitution, and hope that rheumatism
may not remind him of bis mishap.
The high water in the Minnesota RI
yer is at last subsiding quite rapidly,
and was yesterday quite confined to the
old river bed. The approach to the
bridge on this side was on dry land,
and enabled teams to carry supplies to
the bridge-builders, who are busily en-
gagged in erecting temporary supports
in the water, previous to spanning the
river itself. Work is progressing favor
ably, and it may be hoped that few
weeks will give the city substantial
iron bridge, and the farmers of Nicollet
Co. safe and agreeable gateway to our
markets.
