Three young men who got permis'
sion to board Wallace 4 Co.'S circus
train at Rochester last week, were soon
after assaulted, robbed and thrown
from the train by the toughs who ac-
company that show.
Mr.. Haskins, in charge OF the stone
masonry for the Francois block, is
pre- --.,1ng as fast as the stone can be
delivered. The work is being put in
even rnore massive than called for by
the architects specifications, Mr..
Francois being determined to have q
perfectly secure foundation.
A class of eleven was confirmed by
Bishop Gilbert at Beaver Falls last
week. The Episcopalisns have gener-
ally been deemed rather conservative
in home missionary work, but in this
part Of tho state are showing . dispo-
sition to be alert and aggressive in
building up churches.
Evidently Editor Smith don't think
much of his "yob" as census enumer-
ator. In the last Leader he says:
If the appointment of census enum-
orator were brought to fourteen Ger
tain men in Redwood county ON a sill
yer platter, lined with reflection of
yellowest gold, they would not accept
It. The government of the U. 8. has
played it fine and the Eleventh Census
takers are very poorly paid.
Matte Choate and her supporting
company concluded their engagement
here with q benefit last Saturday night,
which was fairly we'll patronised. The
company has won golden opinions oil
around, and should they return at .
more suspicious time, will have no
cause to complain of appreciation
here. They appear at Waseca this
week.
The ladies' OF - ;" C. +. +. will
have an Ice Cream stand at the Ram
sey Falls picnic on the 4th. They will
also sell Ice Cream in the evening at
Philbrick's new building. Ice Cream
10 cents, with Cake Is cents. The
money raised will be devoted to the
maintenance of ice water barrels on
the streets.
St. Peter Herald: While standing
upon the circus grounds on Tuesday
afternoon, We saw very poor man
drop $40 on the nut shell game. This
same man discontinued his paper .
short time ago for the reason he said,
that he could not afford it. We had
an item in our last issue, that had he
read it and followed our advice, world
have saved him just $40. This would
have paid for his paper for the next
Is years. Too poor to take a local pa
per, but rich enough to throw money
to the dogs. Poor man, we pity him
We ought to publish his name.
c. w. George, having remodeled
and refitted the original Whitcomb
steam elevator, proposes to give his
exclusive attention this season to the
purchase of wheat, fax, oats, corn and
hides. The Empire Lumber Co. has
purchased bis lumber yards and stock,
leaving him free to attend solely to
produce buying. Redwood Falls is
situated to make splendid market
this fall, if competition between three
enterprising local buyers, in addition
to the agency established by the
Farmers Elevator and Supply Co., is
to have its due effect.
Granite Falls merchants have been
asked by the local county alliance to
submit schedule of discounts from
regular prices, for cash or secured
notes. If farmers and merchants could
arrive at an understanding on this
point, it might do away with losses
from bad debts on the one hand, and.
keep consumers from sending their
orders direct to so-called wholesalers,
on the others. Our local merchants
will undoubtedl; make just as reason
able discounts for cash ON large pur-
chsses as the city man who sells by
catalogue, when quality and cost of
transportation is considered. Before
sending away, economical buyers
should submit their figures to home
merchants.
Walnut Grove has been considerably
torn up the past week over the prose-
cution of lot of boys and hoodlums
for burglarizing c. L. Webber's store.
Mr.. Webber has been aware of petty
thieving going on for some time past,
and recently entered his store in the
night time and found couple of boys
in full operation. One of the young
sters got away, and the other he COL
Jared. Subsequently actions were
brought against q half q dozen or moro
of the principal offenders, most of
whom were let of by the payment Of
. light fine. The parents Of the boys
E. St. Julien Cox, of St.
Peter, to defend them. One culprit IL
yet to be tried next week and all of
them are doubtless 50 thoroughly
scared that they will quit their mean
ness in that line hereafter.
