| j. x. Rosskopf, Of Gibbon, tarried IN
the city yesterday.
| Republican meeting tonight, see no.
tice in an other column.
Harvesting in this section is about to
begin. On account of the late unfavor-
able weather, crops are not as good as
they were expected to be.
Mr.. Louis Schmelz, one of Cotton
woods most prospecting farmers, wei
coined an infantile farmland to his
home, lately. May he prosper.
The picnic, held last Sunday on the
Hermann Monument Heights, was well
attended. The hot weather however
prevented a general turn out Of our
citizens.
The nass-meeting held at Turner
Hall last Saturday evening was not ex-
actly democratic ass-meeting after
all, there being as many republicans
present as democrats.
The temperature in the hall was very
oppressive, as were the speeches of
Messrs. Wilkinson and Rand, the great
democratic lights.
We happened in there when the first
speaker ives denouncing in the usual
democratic terms Of opposition and re-
venge, the institutions OF a party which
for the last quarter century has given
this country period of glorious pros
perity, and after we had listened awhile
to the golden promises which demo-
crat usually makes, we heard some
body yawn behind us, and looking at
our watch, thought it was time to go
home, which we did.
2. S. By the way we forgot to tell
that Hon. Judge Rand spoke also.
Our reporter told us that the Judge Sc
conded Hon. Mort S. Wilkenson's mo.
ton, and that the democrats clapped
their hands every time he said Grover
Cleveland and reform, while the repub-
Leans and independent voters smiled
knowingly.
Foreign intelligence notifies us that a
certain Klara, supposed to be a former
resident of this city, and who left for
Germany several months ago to visit
relatives, has prior to his return to this
country, committed an act which has
caused his retention in German prisons.
He had purchased a ticket for New
York, and being probably short Of
funds, planned highway robbery on
q man by the name of Schmitt, who, as
was known by the assailant, carried a
large amount of money with him.
Klara attacked Schmitt by Selling him
from behind, trying to throw him to
the ground, but Schmitt, being a pow
erful man, resisted the attack, where
upon the robber pulled forth a hammer,
beating his victim Herewith and caus-
ing him to fall to the ground, not how
ever without dealing Klara furious
kick in the abdomen, which disabled
him for the time being. Schmitt re-
covered and sought escape in fight,
which he accomplished. He immedi-
ately notified the police, who traced and
captured the offender, placing him in
jail. Schnitt has gradually recovered,
but nevertheless the charge against
Klara is serious one
We are only sorry for the poor wife of
the unfortunate man, and hope that all
will be done to make her and her child
n,bear the terrible blow dealt. them
as lightly as possible.
Among the Republican Congressman
who firmly stood their ground against
the sectional Mills bill, was our worthy
John Lind. In speaking of him the
Minneapolis Tribune says
ssMr. John Lind is candidate for re-
election to congress in the Second Min
nesota district, and voted ''no'' upon
the final passage of the Mills bill. He
did right, and his constituents will see
to it that this conscientious act of their
intelligent young representative is not
permitted to initiate against him in the
present campaign. The Mills bill was
monstrosity, and if Mr.. Lind had al
lowed himself to be cajoled or bulldozed
into supporting it, he would have proved
himself unworthy of the high confidence
which his party friends in Minnesota
have placed in his courage and his in
tegrity. Mr.. Lind will be reelected TO
congress in 1888, and if he will contin-
ue to exercise the same manly courage
and good sense which have character
lied his actions during his first term no
one can fix the limit Of his usefulness in
behalf of his constituents =
