PLEAsANT.-The Journal Press has this
to say of Stearns county and it's most
prosperous village:
1t is not generally known that Stearns
county received it's name through an &C
cident, yet such is the fact. The organ
izing act named it after Governor Stevens
and it so passed the Territorial Legisla-
ture at the session of 1S54-5. But the
Enrolling Clerk changed the name to
Stearns, and as Charles T. Stearns,
original owner of the Stearns House, St.
Clouds first hotel, was prominent cit
| izen, every one was well satisfied to have
| it remain so.
Stearns countyis also rich in the wealth
! of it's citizens. Its assessed valuation is
81, 936,279, without dollar of bonded
or floating debt. Last year 1,774,OS1
bushels of wheat; 1,07S 1901 of oats,
and $40, 7O7 of corn were raised, while
%, 1913 cattle and S,549 horses are owned
within its limits. The principal industry
is agriculture, but the granite working
interests are fast becoming prominent
and it also promises to be a great manu-
featuring district.
| Located at almost the extreme north
west corner of Stearns county is the
thrifty and erterprising village of Sank
Centre. 1t had under the census of 1885
| 1875 inhabitants, and is one of the
pleasantest villages in the state. Its
people are known for their hospitality
and enterprise, and they possess con-
siderable quantity of this worlds goods.
The Centre is on the St. Cloud and Fer
gus Falls division of the Manitoba road,
is the terminus of the Sank Centre and
Northern branch of that system, and the
Little Fails and Dakota also passes
through it,. Besides these the Duluth,
Huron and Denver during the past season
has made this the base of its operations,
grading a considerable portion of it's pro-
posed road-hed to the state line. When
this road is completed it viii make the
Centre an important railroad and ira s.
fer town. Alexander Moore, still one of
it's most prominent citizens, was the
founder of Sank Centre, heading the little
colony that settled there in 1856. With
him were Capt s. M. Bruce, S. A. Irish,
S. Pendergast, Jos. Casper, and several
Others whose names are still to be found
on the roll of the most prominent citizens
af the village. Sank Centre has nation
!. al and two private banks; large -four
| ing mn, belonging to the Mcclure estate;
a number of factories, the most impor-
tant of which is that of the Keller Man
ufacturing Co. which employs about fifty
hands; large school building, and is
withal one Of the most ambitious and
| prosperous villages in the great North

NEW ELL.-In this village on Friday, Jan
uary 5th, at 3 A. NJ, OF lxryngeal phthisis
Mitchell Newell, aged 40 years.

Mitchell Newell was born near Ashland,
Ohio, and at an early age removed to
Iowa, thence to Kansas, where his youth
and early manhood was spent. He
learned the machinist's trade and was
for a number of years employed as en-
gineer. At the breaking out of the war
he enlisted at his home in Oskaloosa, in
the 5th Kansas infantry and served with
fidelity and credit throughout the war of
the rebellion. At it's close he returned to
Oskaloosa, and though broken in health
he renewed work. About three years
ago he came to Minnesota for his health,
having contracted pulmonary difficulty
in the army. He returned again to
Kansas, but soon moved hither with
his family, purchasing the house of N.
Hendry, which he occupied until his
death. He leaves a wife and two chill
dren, son and daughter, to mourn the
loss of devoted husband and father.
One brother, Jesse ]. Newell, resides here,
and four other brothers are scattered
through Iowa and Kansas. Quiet and
unassuming in his department, he won
the esteem of all with whom he came in
contact, but owing to i'll health during
his residence here, the circle of his &C
quaintance was not large. The sympa-
thy of the entire community goes out to
his bereaved family and friends.

A PLEASANT AFFA1R.-The reception
given by the gentlemen of this village to
the ladies, at the Sank Centre House, on
Saturday evening, was one of the pleas
ATTEST social events imaginable. The
diningroom of the hotel was fitted up in
elegant style, and one of the finest BAN
quets ever spread in this village was
served to about eighty persons, two
thirds of whom were ladies. The supper
was served in courses and the managers
are entitled to great credit for their en-
terprise. Each guest was furnished with
delicate little souvenir in shape of a
button-hole boquet. No pains was
spared to make the reception highly en-
joyable. After supper the dining room
was cleared and dancing was INDUCED
in until nearly midnight. The music was
furnished by Harrison's band. There
were about fifty ladies present.

A Good Season.-Bridgman & Fender
CAST will complete their logging opera
tons, so far as cutting is concerned, by
Feb. list, but it will require the balance
of the wiuter to get their logs all in the
lake. They will have about two and-a
half million feet oflogs ready for the saws
when the season opens, although they
may conclude to convert only half OF
them into lumber this year, leaving the
other half in the lake for the season OF
1880. They will not cut any more logs
in Burnhamville after this year as they
will clear the land of all valuable timber
this season. They now have dozen
teams hauling lumber from the mill to
Swanville station, and are shipping sew
eral car loads daily to their yards in
this village. The season thus far has
been very favorable for their numbering
operations.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.-At late meet
ing, by resolution, the village council
granted Henry Keller an exclusive con-
tract for fifteen years for furnishing cleo
trio lights to the village, at a contract
price of a dollar and a half light
per month for not less than
twenty lights, to be located as di-
rected by the council, to be lighted until
eleven o'clock at night. The appearance
of the village will be materially improved
by night by the additional light thus
afforded. In addition to this the bust
ness houses and many residences will be
lighted by electricity. Mr.. Keller having
received all the encouragement he could
reasonably anticipate, he is now engaged
in putting in the dynamos at the factory,
which will be brilliantly illuminated
within week or ten days. He will then
commence fitting up lamps and putting
in connections for his customers. The
cost of the light will be probably a dol
lar each per month for sixteen-candle-
power lights. At this rate the cost will
scarcely exceed that of kerosene, while it
will be wholly without the risk and an
noyance inseparable from the use of oil.

The discovery by the inhabitants of 10.
cality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in
their very midst, is decidedly startling. Such
discoveries are made at every season, in every
part Of the Union. Subsequently, when it is
ascertained, as it invariably is at such times,
through the valuable experience of some one
who has been benefited and cured, that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is thoroughly efica-
ciouS eradicator Of the malarial poison, and a
means of fortifying the system against it, a
feeling Of more security and tranquility
reigns, throughout the whole neighborhood.
Besides the febrile forms Of malarial disease
dumb ague and ague cake are removed by the
potent action Of the Bitters, to which science
also gives its sanction as remedy for rheum
atism, dyspepsia, constipation, liver com
plant, debility, kidney troubles, and all dis
eases impairing the organs of digestson ant
assimilation.
