Adele Strelenhoff is very pretty
fourteen-year-old miss of Russian eX-
traction who caused her parents great
deal of trouble on Monday night. and
succeeded in creating flutter ofeXcite-
ment on the flats. The girl who had
never before been away from home over
night, disappeared Monday evening
about O'Clock and did not put in an
appearance at home until the next
day at noon. Mrs. Strelenhoff was
of the opinion that her daughter
had eloped with a young
man named Clint Wells, who,
though widely at variance with the
family as to religious belief, has been
most attentive sutton. and IS thought
good deal of by the girl. The parents,
who are Hebrews, refuse to listen TO
proposals of an alliance between wells
and their daughter. A search devel,
oped the fact that Wells still frequented
his accustomed haunts, and that wher-
ever the girl had gone she had gone
alone. She returned at noon yesterday
and saws she was mad at her mother for
the way she treated her lover and re-
solved to give Strelenhotf mere
scare by going to Minneapolis and stay
ING over night with her aunt. The
parents were overjoyed at her return.

During the past few days several
needed improvements have been made
on the West side, in the shape of signs
designating the names of streets in the
outskirts of the city. Complaints are

are being put up in such manner that
it is impossible to read the name of the
street unless within few feet of the
lamp posts upon which the strips are
secured.

was being driven along State street,
when the wind got under the covering,
