. diphtheria scourge is said TO be the
cause of considerable CONSERVATION to
the people in the vicinities Of Gibbon
and Fairfax. Difference of opinion
prevails as to whether it is really dlph-
liberia or not, as very few deaths have
thus far resulted.
The reports published that the Indi-
ans on theRedLake reservation near St.
Hilaire are indulging in the ghost and
war dances. Well let 'em dance. If
times are as dull in that neighborhood
as everywhere else, the Indians are
hardly to blame for getting up a little
excitement with which to pass the time
away.

IA the Northern Pacific near Butte,
Montana, in which several people we're

inent politician of North Dakota and

one OF the trains and run over. his
body being mangled out of all SEM
blance to humanity. -.-

afternoon contained an interesting
item in regard to Thomas Mulvehill of
this city, who is now in St. Paul as a
juror in the United States district court.

most complete state of asphyxiation

In referring to the origin of the New
Ulm monument, last week, the Review
was led into several errors. Hon.
Fireman Talbot with whom the idea or
iginated, is not dead, but lives not onlv
in the hearts Of his many friends, but in
person. and hopes to attend the dedica.
ton of the monument. His grand.
daughter, who wrote the resolutions
suggesting the monument, is the wife
OF Mr.. Thos. Grigg Of Bradley, South
Dakota. -Mankato Review.
