| The scandinavian dinner and supper last
wednesday was success and all seemed to
enjoy themselves. Those who had the man.
agement refused to allow dance In the even
Ing, probably thinking it hardly appropriate
1or the occasion. However. those who were
bound to dance, secured another place and
had the dance TALL tho same"
Chas. Higert has gone to Nebraska to stav
until next fall and perhaps longer We miss
his che e:ful words and countenance.
| We were quite amused blythe report Of your
| correspondent ut Adams in regard to the
effect of the noise made by the Amateur Band
| players In driving rats out Of the creamery.
We were inclined at first to take it as a Joke.
however, when we reflect on the accounts OF
| the shrewd and suspicious nature of rots wa
were inclined to credit the statement. Allow
me to suggest to these young men that there
may be much in this accidental discovery if
| improved upon. Ii they could go to some of
our cities and take the contract to rid the
city or rats, there would be money in it if
successful.
We are badly jumbled up by railroad news.
we might suppose that we were about to be-
come suberb Of Mona Or Austin. No insinu
alton. Mr.. Editor. in regard to Austin, We
that the surveyors outfit for the Illinois Cen
trail railroad are at Mona and that they are
going to survey line to St. Paul, leaving
Lyle east OF the road and may make Austin
point, but are not certain. Another, that
the Illinois Central own the Northwestern and
are going to run over that road for the pres
| ent to Austin, making that division. Then
upon the completion of their new line they
Will try and sell the line rs far as to Hayfield
10 the company who will make that a ter
mlnus-lt they don't go further. Another,
mat the Illinois Central are going to make a
division at Mona and strike directly for St
Paul. Don't let the Hayfield folks know about
1t as they might raise the price OF lots before
we can get there to invest.
Now. MIR. Editor, can you draw a conclusion
from these rumors in regard to what is going
| to happen. We cannot Now we have a little
rumor which we think has good founda-
ton. When the Minnesota & Northwestern
changed their time so as to discommode the
travelling public as much as they could con-
veniently, Manager Dudley Of the Central
| Iowa, asked Conference with the manager
of the Minnesota s. Northwestern at LYLE. TO
try and arrange 4 timetable that would he q
| mutual benefit to themselves and all con-
cerned Dudley received Il dispatch that if he
had any business with the Minnesota s. North
western he could come to ST. Paul, He wired
back: DO not have to-" When the Mime
sofa and Northwestern found that arrange.
| ments were being made to connect trains At
Mason City with the C. Mil s, St. Paul. thew
asked for conference and were politely told
that Mr.. Dudley's Office was at Marshaltown,
We are glad that the c. I. has life enough to
kick.
Oh! such weather as we had last Saturday
and Sunday. We are anxiously looking for
the time when we can rise with the lark each
day.
| We are full of anticipation in regard to the
play by the Dramatic Club at Lyle, to be given
March 9th and 18th. 1t will be good play
Come, everybody, and have a good time
We should not be surprised il they had
numerous calls to play in other towns.
