John Jorensen, laborer who has
lust returned from the Black Hills, died
Yesterday morning of typhoid fever, at
the house of John Kron, in Belgrade.
He was 80 years old and was unmarried.
The funeral occurred at o'clock this
afternoon.
From the appearance of things to-
day change in the weather is proba-
BILE, and at this time of the year change
most always means q change for the
colder. The splendid weather of the
past few days has had qulckening eff
feet upon trade.
All of the officials of the Milwaukee
road were in the city yesterday on a
special, and examined the work being
done. There is possibility that the
company may decide to fill between the
tracks, but if so the work will not be
done before spring. The sidewalk and
other improvements were begun to-day.
The Cement Co. received an order
this morning for four more car loads OF
cement for West Superior. During the
last two weeks Is carloads have been
shipped to that city, for use by the mu-
nicipality. Orders were received yester-
day morning for ten car loads for vari-
GUS other places, but no cars could be
had. The scarcity of cars is the great
difficulty at present. The works have
all they can do to meet the demands
upon them, but have been shut down
for few days on account of the impossi-
bility of obtaining coal. Six carloads
are expected at once, however, and the
works will resume operations. The
cement is giving better satisfaction than
ever before.
