letter, and we would call attention to
his column for this week.
The Minneapolis Evening journal
comes to us now in new and improved
dress, in keeping with its growth. The
journal is one of the best papers pub
lished in the cities and we are glad to
note this evidence of its prosperity.
We are in receipt of a pamphlet con-
tanning Senator G. S. Ives speech on
the bill to waive forfeiture of the swamp
land grant to the Duluth & Winni-
peg Railroad Company. It is a strong
argument against the bill.
Vol. / No. l, Of the Springfield Cour-
Ter has come to our table this week.
1t is small, eight page paper, full of
news and wide awake to Springfield S
interests. Wilson and Semans are the
editors and we wish them all success.
Notwithstanding the very hot wealth
er Of Sunday evening the Harvest Ball
at Union Hall was largely attended,
and many a couple from the country
were present. The farmers have reason
to rejoice this year and the way they at
tend the harvest dances is evidence that
they are satisfied.
There is no better season for farmers
to get mutually acquainted with each

they cannot fail to help themselves. It
is gotten up for their interests and its
success hinges on their patronage. It
is in fact their duty to assist and they
should not neglect to perform it. Let
every farmer in the county attend the
coming fair, prepared to exhibit some
thing, and the effect will readily be
seen.

also clerk Of the board, and is it only a
portion of the public record of their
proceedings.

mile from Springfield, being the scene of
the awful affair. 1t appears that Mr..
BEDFORD, who has always been re-
spectacle and well thought Of citizen,
for some unknown reason, unless it be
insanity, attempted to shoot his wife
and failing to do so committed suicide
by taking poison. The Springfield Adj

On Thursday evening, after doing
the chores and eating supper as usual
Mr.. BEDFORD went to bed, while Mrs. r
lay on the lounge in the dining room.
Sometime between eleven and twelve
o'clock, he came out of the bedroom
and went outdoors. Returning, he
went to the bedroom but soon came out,
holding q lantern in one hand and a
revolver in the other. He advanced
