Gov. Barto went down to Minneapolis
on Wednesday morning to attend
meeting of republicans Of the state. 1t
is the purpose to organize the party on
vigorous basis for the active CAM
paign.
Country roads were badly drifted, but
the snow is light and travel and business
will be thoroughly resumed without de-
lay. Already considerable hay and
wood has been brought into town by the
farmers.
Col. Bridgman got left in St. Paul on
Saturday morning but he proved equal
to the emergency, He came up as far as
Minneapolis, thence succeeded in getting
to st. Cloud, and came on here on Sun
day morning ON a snow plow.
The advertisement of w. Woods & Co.
will be found elsewhere in this paper
The firm is one of the live business houses
of the town, and thoroughly reliable in
every particular. 1t carries fine line of
hardware, stoves and tinware.
Chas. White of Mt. Morris, N. Y, who
has been visiting with the Messrs. Woods.
left on Wednesday for his home. He was
accompanied by his wife and child, Mr..
White is one of the most successful and
prosperous fruit-growers in the Genessee
valley.
What tine village would have done
without the snow pillow, it is difficult to
say. 1t made travel about town pos
sible. The post Office and local railroad
forces had apay-spell during the blockade,
but they had to make up for it when the
embargo was raised.
During and Immediately following the
great storm few who had a surplus of
wood offered it at greatly increased fig
ures. Good dry wood had been selling at
from three to four dollars per cord, and
some persons wanted nearly double price
for it. Mighty little changed hands at
the exorbitant figures.
Harry Longfellow, who has been in the
employ ofC. ]. Lofgren for the past fiji
teen months, has severed his connection
with the drug business, as he says he
hopes, forever. 1t is too combining for
him. He is not only an excellent phar-
macist, but one of the pleasantest fellows
imaginable, and during his residence
here has won many warm friends who
will sincerely regret his departure. He
goes TO SC. faul.
At the annual meeting of the hook and
ladder company on Monday evening last,
the following officers were chosen for the
ensuing year:
FIREMAN-Fred jacob.
FIRST AssIsTANT-C. ]. Lofgren.
SECOND Ass1srANT--Wm. Scherfins.
SEcRETARY-B. o. Woods.
TREAsURER-W. S. Dean.
The company has a membership of
fourteen, and is in a healthy and pros
porous condition, with full treasury.
Among the Sank Centre people caught
away from home by the blockade last
week were Col. Bridgman, Gov. Barto,
Col. Huddleston, Charles Fish, E. P.
Barnum, Alex. Fuller, c. c. Moore, w.
P. Hilsdale, A. o. Hubbard, c. A. Morse,
L. r. Barto and J. M. Thomason. They
came stringing back on Saturday, Sum
day and Monday. They say that the
storm in St. Paul was even worse than
it was in Sank Centre Judging from the
condition in which they found the streets
when they arrived home.

day morning the snow commenced fall
ing fast, driven by a strong wind from
the south east, and all day on Thursday
a blizzard ragged without internlission,
piling the snow in great drifts, blockad-
ing the railroads and highways, aid sus-
pending travel completely. The train
which arrived here at LAT A. NJ. on
Thursday encountered the storm at
Alexandria, and was compelled to lie
over there, while the train due here at
that time from the west was now-bound
at GAINESVILLE. A west-bound freight
49,. ~ on the Manitoba road was unable
RI nrooeed farther, and one was also
caught here on the Little Falls and
Dakota road. On Thursday evo"itls the
temperature fell rapidly, snow falling
without abatement, while the wind, still
blowing gale, shifted to the northwest
continuing all Thursday night and until
noon on Friday. 1t is estimated that
from ten to twelve inches of show fell,
which, added to the foot already on the
ground, afforded an abundance ofmaterial
for the fierce winds to pile into fantastic
drifts. On Friday Main-st. was sight
to behold. The snow lay in huge piles in
all sorts of curious shapes, some of the
drifts measuring fully six feet. The
streets were impossible. An army of
shovelers tossed the hard white masses
of snow into the street, clearing tbs side
walks for pedestrians, and in places it
was impossible for one to see across the
streets. The huge snow-plow, under
direction of Councilman Dean, was at
tached to four horses from the Hall stable,
and with a gang of men to operate it,
plowed out the streets, making it possible
to get around town. The plow was often
stalled, and it became necessary to shovel
before it. Business was at a stand-still
and every body seemed to enjoy the fun
of fighting old Boreas, although the
thermometer was fifteen or twenty be
low zero. The departments in the public
schools attended by younger children
were closed on Thursday, and on Friday
afternoon school was dismissed altogeth.

ELECTRIC L1GHTs.-Mr. Keller has met
with all the encouragement he could de-
sire in the matter of lighting the village
with electricity. More than half of the
capacity of the plant has already been
engaged, nearly every business house put
ting in from two to sixteen, Woods &
Sons, the dry-goods merchants, and the
Sank Centre House, leading the list, fol-
lowed by Jacob Bros, Hilsdale, Tully &

with eight, with. other business firms
from six to two. When completed the

tracted for an outside lamp of four times

eral others are considering the matter of
dong the same. The total number of

THE KELLER FAcToRY.-Work on a
thousand harrows is well under way,
and therecertainly will beno better goods
of the kind offered in market for the sea-
son of 1888. The stock has been selected
with the greatest care, every piece being
subjected to a rigid inspection. The
teeth are of solid steel, diamond shape OF
two styles of point, the knife-blade and
sheared. There viii be three or four
sizes made, adapted for all classes OF
trade. Mr.. Keller has purchased ofHon.
]. c. Flynn of Little Falls, 100000 feet
of dry oak and Eastwood, cut three
years ago, which will be shipped in as
rapidly as possible The oak will be used
in harrows and seeders, the red oak
and Eastwood will be made into refrig-
orators. A camp has also been put in
near Grey Eagle and as much more green
lumber viii be cut before spring. The
electric plant has been put into place, and
will be used at once for lighting the fac
tory, and as soon as connections can be
made the system will be. extended thro'
the village. The indications are most
flattering for prosperous season for the
Keller company, and surely every citizen
will be gratifed to see the work expand
and prosper.
A SUDDEN DEArH-On Tuesday after
noon, just before dark, at the corner OF
Main and Fourth-sts., there dropped
stone dead, without warning, at the age
of twenty-seven, the decrepit delivery
horse of Parker & Parker. The cause of
this sudden demise is mystery, profess
sional opinion being about evenly divided.
The faithful old animal was being driven
by Charlie Parker at the time, and it is
charged that the horse died of a broken
heart-the only sound organ the old
fellow possessed-while contemplating
the cruelty of his driver which compelled
the ancient animal to be out wading
through the deep snow at such an age.
On the other hand, it seems he was being
driven to the stable of Harry Parker, and
that at noon Harry had taken down his
death-dealing lariat preparatory to
breaking another colt, and the old horse
fearing to return lest he might be victim
of the skill of this famous horse-trainer,
laid down and died, breaking out into
horse-laugh with his expiring breath, and
giving a sly-wink with his eye just closing
forever, in high glee to think how cleverly
he had escaped torture, and at the same
time disappointed the great colt breaker.
No one will know which is the correct
theory-the secret died with the horse.
But the fact remains that Parker &
Parker are looking after a new delivery
horse. The firm reserves the right to re-
ject all bids and tenders for any animal
under full voting age, either native born
or, if raised in Iowa must have first
papers.

A Serious Accident.

Yesterday afternoon a freighter
named Nance Towner, who lives about
five miles below town ON the ranch
belonging to Mr.. Camp, loaded up a
load of freight at the depot and start
ed with it down the grade. His horses
stumbled, throwing Mr.. Towner off,
the wagon running over him and
crushing his right leg little above
the knee in shocking manner. The
horses ran on down the hill, scatter
ing the freight in every direction and
making a complete wreck of the
wagons. DR.. Collister was sent for,
who went up Immediately, made an
examination of the broken limb, and
did all he could for the sufferer. He
was sent to his home. DR.. Collister
is of the opinion that the limb will
have to be amputated just above the
knee. A council of physicians will be
held to-day to consider the matter.

His wife Was In Charge.

Hebron, editor of the Kingsley
(Kan.) Mercury, says the Kansas City
Journal, left his office for few days
in charge of his wife. Hebron is a
Republican of the rankest kind, and
the Mercury is an index of his feel
ings regarding the two parties. Mrs.
Hebron is a lovable woman, with but
one fault-she is a Democrat. Hebron
knew this when he married her, but
has never regretted going into the
enemy's camp for the prize. While he
was absent Mrs. Hebron inserted the
following in the Mercury:
Cleveland win be reelected presi-
dent in November by an overwhelm-
ing majority. The Democratic party
will win because it is right Cleye-
land has made the best president this
country has ever had, and if every
state inthe Union would elect none
but Democrats there would be less
stealing and meanness going on. The
editor has gone out to the ball game
and left his wife in charge, and she
gladly embraces the opportunity of
injecting little truth into the Mer-
curry, just for change, Mrs. H."
