BosH.-The St. Paul Globes Quizz pro-
poses to answer any question propound-
ed-and does so after a fashion. To show
how refreshing the blunderer is the fol-
lowing specimen brick is submitted:
Sank Centre-I am one of the Globe S
readers and like to peruse old Quizz, there
fore am tempted to ask these questions:
"How old must one be before heis eligi-
BILE to the office of the president of the
United States? Is Blaine of Irish birth?
Do write a fair business hand and
what is my disposition"
First-Twenty-o years. Second-His
mother was of Irish parentage. Third
Yes. Careless.
Any school-boy above the steenth grade
could have told the enquirer that no per-
son is eligible to the presidency who is
not thirty-fve years of age.
CAN'T GIVE IT UP:-The following item
clipped from the San Diego (Cal.) Daily
Bee of recent date has this to say relative
to a well-known old resident of Sank
Centre:
Work began yesterday morning for the
erection of a five-story frame hotel on the
southwest corner of D and India streets.
The ground floor will be occupied by
stores, the hotel office and dining room,
and upper floors will be exclusively for
the guests The proprietors are E. B.
Newkirk, of New York, and J. M. Apfeld
of Minnesota. The latter gentleman was
for eighteen years a contractor and build
err, and he has had twelve years expert
ence in the hotel business. He can there
fore build his own house, run it well and
add much to the comfort and accommo-
dation of the people.
And again: -- ~.
E. B. Newkirk, who is one of the part
ners in the new D street hotel, has invest
ed 500, 900 in property in this city. He
will soon come to stay.

THE LEAP YEAR DANcE.-The dance
given by the young ladies of this village
on Monday evening last for the benefit
of Harrison's Military band was a COM
plete success, in every way. about $50
being cleared after all expenses were paid.
The merry party continued until about
3 o'clock in the morning. Everything
passed in perfect harmony, except when
the caller would forget himself and say,
"seat your ladies'" and when the order
for dance was given some Of the gentle
men would jump up to engage a partner,
when to their dismay they would remem-
Der that that was the ladies business,
and they would drop back into their
seats with halfsorrowful look on their
faces for fear the ladies would not come
around; but there were none who wished
to dance that did not, as the committee
on introduction made it a special bust
ness to see that all enjoyed themselves.
The ladies are to be congratulated on
their success and the boys will look ahead
for the time when the ladies will give an
other dance.

CUT THIS OUT.-In view of the fact
that there are cases of diphtheria within
the county, although as yet quite remote,
the following suggestions, made by the
board of health of New York, and ap-
proved by our local health officer and
practicing physicians, will be found of
value:
The sick must be nursed, when possible,
in clean airy room, on a floor where
there are no other children. Every cup
and cloth and all clothing and bedding
11sed in the sick room must be cleansed
and disinfected before being used or ham
died by other persons. All the soiled dishes
and soiled clothing used in the room that
can be boiled should be thrown into a
disinfecting fluid made by dissolving four
tablespoonfuls of sulphate of zinc and
two tablespoonful of common salt in a
gallon of water. The wood work and
all the vessels used in the room should be
cleansed in the disinfecting fluid. The
drains and surroundings Of the house
should be drenched with solution of
green copperas made by dissolving five
pounds of dry copperas in pailful OF
waer.

A SURPRIsE.-Miss Hattie Lord, for
merly of Sank Centre, but now of north
east Minneapolis, who is visiting friends
here, was given very pleasant surprise
on Monday night at the residence of Mrs.
II. b. Huntress, where she was visiting
at the time. She had gone out for a
short time, being entirely unaware Of
what was about to take place. The
young people began to arrive at about
half past seven and at little after eight,
when Miss Hattie returned, about twenty
of the young people had made their APP
pearance and others arrived later in the
evening. The fore part of the evening
was most enjoyably spent in social chat
and pleasant conversation. Refreshments
were served at about ten o'clock, after
which some very fine vocal and instru-
mental music was rendered by the young
people. Music was INDUCED in for halt
hour or more, when some games were
proposed. Several amusing and enter
tanning games were played with great
zest and apparent pleasure by the young
people. These were the order OF the ev-
ening until about IL 80, when the par
Elephants wished each other good night
and departed for their several homes IN
good spirits after the enjoyment of the
evening. 1t is reported that one very
genial young gentleman, while escorting
the lady of his choice to her home did not
follow the shortest route and the conse-
quence was, that, while quite distance
vet remained, the aforesaid young gen.
tleman suddenly discovered that his ear
was in the grasp of Jack Frost. The
young lady, apparently considering 1T a
pleasure as we'll as a duty, quickly re-
moved her twilight from her head and
proceeded with alacrity and many an en-
dearing and sympathetic word, to cover
the injured member from the biting OF the
frosty atmosphere. We also hear that
the lady succeeded in frosting one of her
ears; however, she very materially in
creased the comfort of her valiant escort.
Miss Hattie will return to her home IN
Minneapolis some time next week. She
will leave behind her here host of warm
! and sincere friends, whose best wishes
will go with her for happy and pros
porous journey upon thorough and vary
ing sea of life, and may it be long before
the other shore is reached. Cor.

Judge Searle expressed himself as high
ly pleased with the comfortable and pleas
ant courtroom, declaring it better than
many counties in the district provided.
The term has passed off pleasantly, and
business has been dispatched with rapid
ity. The members of the jury in attend
ance have evidently enjoyed themselves
when off duty, and the village has reason
to be we'll satisfied with its first term OF
the district court. Dan Bruckart says he
came up from St. Cloud on purpose to
listen to the first jury case tried in the
district court in Franklin county, and in
the hence he will take pride in narrating
to his grandchildren the thrilling event
But will he also tell them how he took
occasion on that visit to attend the leap
year dancing party at the rink?

From the Atwood Citizen we take the
following relative to land Office removal:
I'VE Rave heard that the location of
the land Office is now for sale to the
highest bidder. it being alleged that Tully
Scott and s. ". McElroy are the author
lied agents to effect sale. the goods to
be delivered previous to the 4th day of
March, 1889. Colby, we understand. has
made AN offer of $l5. 900 for the location,
and this will doubtless prove to be the
best bid. Several years ago, about the
time that Sam McEiroy took the land at
Brakeman that Gates expected. there
were rumors that the Office was to be re-
moved up the creek to help boom our
stricken neighbOr. As late as Hannigan's
removal this hope existed. On no other
theory can the post msrtem removal of
the Rawlins County Democrat be ex-
planned. If $4,000 can secure the re-
moval to Colby before the 4th of March.
it is likely to be done. Col. Bacon may
have something to say in the matter and
upon his action the matter now mainly
rests. What means the other feli0ws
may have to bring him to time are only
known to the other fellows. who for ways
that are dark are peculiar. Ali that we
waut in the matter for Rawlins is what
everybody else wants. 1t begins and ends
with-all We can get, although We want
our county to be In that devout frame of
mind whose plant is @. Lord anything"
