Ness CITY appears to have a little
circus all it's own, with the Ness coun-
ty clerk and board of commissioners.
The Sentinel of this week, says some
tough things of the above mentioned
gentlemen this wise:
We dare not say that they were cor
rupt; there would be libel in it. We
dare not say that they looked upon
nearly all business that came before
the board, considering their own pocket
books instead of the interests of the
county; there would be libel in it. We
dare not say that they have been ''sug-
AIRED in letting public contracts" there
would be libel in it.

The census of Manitoba. which was
taken July 81, 1886. has recently been
published. 1t shows that the popula-
ton of the province, which in April,
1881, was 50. 954. had increased to 108.-
$40. The gain of 42.6 in five years
was at the rate of $500 a year. De-
Quoting the natural increase of the
population, the result would show an
influx of immigrants at the rate of
about $500 year. A table of the
birth-places shows that 81, 124, were
born in the province; 10. 322 in England
and Wales, 1921 in Ireland, 1892 in

the total population of 1O8, $40. AZ, 843

HERE is novel bit of masquerading:
Don't place an upright piano with its
back to the wall. Set it across a COR
her, the back to the room. Place mir
ror in the back, draped on either side
with embroidered oriental muslin.
Group collection of handsomely potted
Oriental plants in front of this, and
you will have converted an essentially
ugly piece of furniture into ''thing of
beauty and joy forever to everybody
but your parlor-maid.
