-Burke's circus will appear in this
city July 18th. The bill posters were
in the city to-day.
The city has thus far this year re-
ceived $4,000 from liQur licenses.
Probably half a dozen more will be
taken. out.
"A marriage license was granted
yesterday to Adelbert Loop, of Lake
Crystal, and Mary NJ. Curry, of Lin
coin.
New potatoes are quite plenty in
the market. From the increased
acreage this year it looks as though
prices would be much lower the COM
ing year.
w. L. Wilson has the thanks Of
the editor for handsome lot of new
Ohio potatoes, grown in his garden.
The largest weighs three-fourths of a
pound. They are very fine variety.
The cool weather following the
rain saved wheat from rusting, and
allows the kernel to fill out. 1t is
poor weather for corn, however, but
there is plenty of time for the latter
to develop.
1t is estimated that the circus
took from $1,000 to $4,000 out of the
city, yet it is likely that more than
that sum was left here by the out
siders. The city treasury is $40 bet
ter off.
The fire department was called
out at 1890 O'Clock to-day by an alarm
send from Lees foundry. The shin
giles had caught fire near tie chimney,
but the blaze was eXtinguished with
out the aid of the hose.
The trial of the suit of Mrs. Har-
per VS.. Chas. Burnett was continued
to-day. A. Schorm secured a verdict
OF 800 from the Boards of Supervisors
of LeRay and Mcpherson. Herman
Lorentz, Patrick A. Sullivan and
Chas. f. Zimmerman were admitted
to citizenship.
Only two cases of thieving yester-
day have been reported. During the
parade the house of John Griffith S
was transacted, and S21 in money
was secured. The house of one of
Fred Widell's employees, near the
hospital, was entered and a draft for
