The "Hunt" Banquet at Window.

One of the pleasantest social events of
the season thus far was the banquet and
entertainment-at the home Of W. J.
Miller IN Windom--on Saturday evening
last. given by the defeated Nimrods in
the recent rabbit hunt, to their more
fortunate competitors and themselves.
The guests numbered fifty or more and
each seemed bent on haying all the fun
to be had. The supper consisted of
oysters served in various ways and every
thing else that money could buy or the
art Of the kitchen contrive to satisfy the
appetite Of the hunter. The dining room
was nicely decorated and with its finely
laden tables made a pretty picture. The
most noticeable of the table decorations
was cake made by Mrs. G. r. Wilson
and symbolical OF the result Of the hunt.
The cake was very large and about three:
fourths Of it was frosted in white and
had The name of A. W. Edison. the

cake was surmounted by scales, which

noticeably to the victor's side, which
displayed flag at full mast, while on the
other side was flag at half mast and
draped in black. We must not forget
the challenge she'll which stood alone on
the dark part of the cake and which
challenge was accepted by the other side
and ARRANGEMENTS made for another hunt
to take place on the 18th inst. Many
thanks are due those who so ably assisted

The fifth annual hunt of the Austin
sportsmen occurred Monday. A large
party was out on both sides, and the
score was the largest eyer made. WAL
decker's side were the winners, scoring
5,255 points. Capt. Kinney and his side
scored 4, 1876 points. E. J. Tubbs and c.
Kranbier made the largest scores, which
will make them captains of the next
Sears hunt. Tubbs had 600 points and
Kranbier, $40. At 8 o'clock the the party
sat down to we'll prepared supper at
the Fleck House. 1t is needless to say
it was heartily enjoyed by the hungry
hunters.
The Good Templars social, held at
their hall last Saturday evening, was a
grand success in every particular. It
was announced to the gentlemen at their
previous meeting that they must furnish
social. refreshments, entertainment and
all. They said they would furnish
crackers and cheese, but when the
time arrived they did very different, and
refreshed us royalty. Their refreshments
did not prove to be simply lunch or an
ordinary supper, but a banquet of the
highest type. Walters in costume and
buquets and the silver Just glistened.
The entertainment was fine. and a
success financially. Now when we want

interest and we know that 1t IS doing
much good. but we feel that we do not
receive the support from the citizens Of
Austin that we should. Instead of a
membership of sixty or seventy-flve We

country, have just added several new
breeds to their already valuable stud.
Western Resources in speaking of this

but the character and ability of the men

for energy, integrity and ability. They
have long been exclusive breeders and
importers of Percheron and Shire horses,
aud so excellent has their business
become that they have recently added
several very useful breeds TO their stud,
they being Royal Belgian drafts and
German and French coach horses. This
fact will be source Of qualification to

A dogs sense of responsibility was
illustrated. not long ago, in New Bed
ford'dog, of the St. Barnard breed. Late
one night his master received word
through the telephone that his faithful
four. footed friend was bowling, as if
sick, in the public park and no amount
of threat or pursuasion would induce
him to leave. Upon Investigation it
seemed that the dog was keeping guard
over poor drunken creature who had
strayed out of the highway and sought
shelter in the shadow of the trees. The
instinct which, in his native Alpine
home, would lead him to rescue traveller
perishing amid the mountain SHOWS, was
now directed to saving less worthy, but
perhaps more pit,able, object.
Cedarville. Ohio, had very sign ificant
election lately. The question came up
of repeating its prohibitory ordinance,
and the women begged the privilege Of
recording their vote. This was granted
on condition that they vote in seperate
boxes and pay the extra expense them
selves. which they gladly did. The vote
resulted in 215 men voting, Of whom 159
voted against repeal and fifty-six for it.
Two hundred and four women voted,
202 against and two for repeal. A pitiful
story hangs on those two votes; two poor
women with brutal husbands, started to
the polls with mo- ballots; their
husbands stopped them, took their ballots
from them and forced them to vote
''yes." This story was told by, Mrs.
Monroe, president of the Ohio union at
their state convention. She added,
Some of those Cedarville ladies who
voted are here as delegates. We should
like to see how they look; will they
please rlse?' Three ladies rose and were
