The St. Agnes Guild gave very
pleasant social at the home of Miss

Alderman Bager is still confined to
his room, and will probably have to
wait for the fever to run it's course.
JOS Tyson expects to have another
trainload of Gilfllan's fat cattle ready
for the Chicago market in week or
two.
| A lot of scorched mail came through
our postofice few days ago, with an
odor loud enough to be heard several
blocks away.
The over-gorged wheat market is
bearing down prices. Yesterday wheat
and fax were quoted at the same price
per bushel-75 cents.
Tea and coffee trade has received a
severe blow since Van Houten's Cocoa
has been so thoroughly introduced
throughout the United States.
The Christmas Magazines are on
the counters at Hitchcock's Drug
Store and never before has there been
such large and pleasing variety.
Great West DR.. Fish was billed for
a lecture at New Avon last evening.
This accounts for the heavy thaw yes
terday, doubtless caused by the doc
tors red-hot roast of the old parties.
J. R. Lankerd recently sold the
southeast quarter of section 33, in
Delhi, for $500 cash. Mr.. Pfster, the
party who bought it, is a practical
farmer and knows a good thing when
he sees it.
Mayor Dickinson has received from
DR.. Hewitt. of the State Board of
Health, an analysis of the spring wa
ter recommended for water works, that
is more or less Greek to the ordinary
citizen, except the concluding SEN
tence which pronounces the sample a
good drinking water, though hard.
Another grocery store will be opened
on Mill street as soon as the stock ar
rives. Mr.. S. Goodrich has the enter
prise under way, and is fitting up his
building opposite Odd Fellows block |
for the purpose. Mr.. Goodrich is an
old and upright citizen, and will deal
fairly with all.
T. H. Kings record for the thresh-
ing season will undoubtedly knock out
everything in this vicinity. He has not
yet figured up the total number of
bushels threshed, but Informed us yes
terday that his business footed up
$500, with less than $4,000 expenses
This ought to satisfy even such
rustler as Tom King.
Concerning diphtheria local ply
sician informed us the other day that
he sometimes had to call cases of a
common form of sore throat diphther-
ia in order to satisfy over anxious par
ents. The fact that there has been but
ono fatal case from that cause for
many months ought to prevent parents
from getting panicky about it.
A member of the w. G. T. L. LEX q
Seattle paper in this Office Oh I,ionl1ay
containing all account of tho labors
of Francis Murphy in that city, and
the movement by the local union to
secure the National w. G. T. U. con-
Vention. A handsomely carved wood
en- banner, made of nine varieties of
native woods of Washington, three
feet high and two feet wide will be
taken to Boston by the delegates from
Seattle to the national convention.
Mrs. G. E. Smith, formerly of this
place, sent the paper.
The Rural Center at Walnut Grove
issued an extra on account of the Tracy
fire. 1t says that it is informed that
E. R. Hughes,who lived oyer his store
lost everything and has not one cent
of insurance, and there may be others
equally unfortunate. Considering that
fire had long been expected in the To-
cality burned-the insurance rate be-
ing as high as seven per cent-it
strikes us that business men who
risked everything against such chanc-

fearful risks, and can hardly expect
entire sympathy from people of ordin-
ary prudense. Such hardihood ap-
proaches recklessness.
A gratifying announcement to all
Redwood acquaintance of Anton
Weiss was made in the Duluth News
last Saturday. 1t was to the effect

Evening Herald. The News says:
During his: residence in this city he
has not only built up large business
for his employers, but has been very

a matter of course, the company very
reluctantly dispensed with his service
but we're pleased to know that his
ability and popularity had been recog-
