there IS nothing to be made by trading on either
side of the account. The general opinion is
that all trading, except little buying from

are unduly depressed, is for short account, aud
selling seems to be of the same character, so
that the outstanding short interest. in COM

position to buy OF late, and to-day in London

A HAPPY AFFAIR.

A very pleasant affair occurred at I'll e
residence of Maj and Mrs. S. w. Gleason
at 10 CLOCK Wednesday morning. In the
presence of a few friends and relatives,
their daughter, Miss Susan B. Gleason,
was given in marriage to Judge Fremont
S. Brown, of Tracy. Rev. Jno. Barbour
performed the service. which was very
simple one. Afterwards the party sat
down to morning lunch. The pres

enough for u S. Circuit and District
court purposes. A little home backing
at this time should not be wanting.
-Kruse Bros have a very attractive
scene depicted in their south window
1t is a representation of a Christmas
morning in Mankato in 1866. A settler
is chopping wood in front of his log
cabin, watched by his wife and family.
The snow covers the ground, and the
general appearance of the surroundings
is that ola primitive settlement in the
woods. The scene is very realistic, and
is copy of what all old settlers were
once familiar with. and which may still
be seen in many parts of the newly
settled West. In the opposite window
is a scene of luxury, representing
Christmas, 1890. Some elegant goods
are displayed there, and the contrast is
a wonderful one. Much work and
skill must have been expended in pre-
pairing the scenes, which reflect great
or edit on Kruse Bros.

Washington Irving's Christmas.

No one had greater appreciation OF
the beauties and joys of Yuletide than
that gentle American word painter,
Washington Irving, whose name should
be dear to every Americans heart. In
his "Sketch Book" he quotes from an
old, old English writer as follows:
'Now trees their leafy hats do bare
To reverence Winters silver hair;
A handsome hostess, merry host,
A pot of ale and now toast,
Tobacco and good coal fire,
Are things this season doth require
Who can forget his Christmas sketches
of Brace bridge Hall? During that de-
lightful Yuletide tour through York
shire, England, Irving had to travel by
stage coach. He did not enjoy the COM
forts of railway travel now found in the
highest degree on the st. Paul & Du-
luth Railroad, better known as the
Duluth Short Line, il being the short
est and most popular route between the
Twin Cities and Duluth and West
Superior. Fine equipment, convenient
schedules, quick trains and close con-
nections. Information cheerfully fur

What is cold in the head? Medical
authorities say it is due to uneven cloth
ing of the body, rapid cooling when in
a persplration, &c. The important
point is, that cold in the head Is an
inflammation of the lining membrane OF
the nose, which, when unchecked, is
certain to produce catarrhal condition
for catarrh is essentially a ''cold"
which nature is no longer able to "re-
solve" or throw off. .Ely's Cream Balm
has proved It's superiority, and sufferers
should resort to it before that common
ailment becomes seated and ends in OBJ
stinate catarrh.
