Two prisoners from Window were
brought to the city last night and
lodged in Jail. They are charged with
burglary, and give the names of Olson

The funeral of Louis Lamm oc-
Cured this morning. The post NOR

disease to which he succumbed was
diphtheria. The health officer be-
lieyes that it was membranous Group.
Hogs are still quoted at So live
weight, and 1915 dressed. Those in
terested in the market are still of the
belief that there will be better prices
in the future. Should Germany re-
move the prohibition on the impor-
tation Of American pork, as now seems
very probable, hogs are expected to adj
vance at least fifty cents hundred.
The pretty little operetta 1.-THE
Seven Old Ladies of Lavender Town
will be given under the auspices of the
Congregational church, in the hall in
the Stern block, some time in the
early part of February. This is
most amusing and enjoyable enter
tainment, and we can promise hap
Ply evening to all attending.
There seems to be an encouraging
disposition on the part of both the
Board Of Trade and council to ''get
together on the charter amendments.
This should be done with as little de-
lay as practicable, for after everything
has been agreed upon the people should
be given an opportunity to think over
the changes. The work of drawing
of passing them will use up a large
part of the remainder of the legisla-
tive session.
The annual meeting of the Ma
tional Western Travelling Mems Asso-
citation will be held at Austin next
Sunday, and one or two coaches will
be sent from this city, over the Mil
waukee road. A large number of
merchants are expected to attend.
The train will start at 7:30 a. M. and
get back in the afternoon or evening.
One fare for the round trip will be
charged. Austin has just completed
an ice palace and will have other
amuSements.

deaths from diphtheria occurred, is

under strict police surveillance, and
every effort will be made to stamp out
the disease, which, in this family, is
of the malignant kind. The health
officer does not think that any of the
children at the Pleasant Grove school
are likely to have the disease.
"A new postoffice has been estab-
lished at Rapidan Mills, with Mr.. Hall
of the Lake Crystal Mirror as post
master. The mail is to be supplied
from Rapidan daily, and the service
will prove of great convenience to
large number of the people. The fact
that Mr.. Hall has been appointed
postmaster would seem to lend con-
siderable color to the rumored removal
of the Mirror to the new town of Rapi-
dan Mills.
There is report current among
the employees of the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis road that that road will be
extended this spring. Tt is said to be
the intention to extend the Cannon
Valley branch from this city to Nor
ton, by way of New Ulm, a distance of
sixty miles. This would connect with
the main line of the road. 1t is also
reported that tbs western end is to be
extended from Watertown to Bis
marck. Whether any reliance can be
placed in this rumor cannot be stated,
but some color is given the report of
the extension of the Cannon Valley by
a remark recently dropped by an Off
cial of the road, who is. reported as
saying that the road would surely be
extended from this city this spring.
Such a move is greatly to be desired,
as it would open up new field for our
manufacturing establishments.
1t has been suggested that an eff
fort be made to secure an appropri-
alton of $1,000 from the legislature for
the purpose Of assisting in the holding
of fair in this city. Rochester and
other cities have for several years been
assisted to this extent, and the con-
siderations why fair should be held
in this city are even greater. Stu
ated in the midst of the finest agri-
cultural region in the world large
fair held here each year would prove
great incentive to farmers to improve
their stock and crops. There is moth
ing SO inspiring as to see the results of
the best efforts of others, and there is
no doubt but that the fairs in the past
have had not little to do in bringing
this portion of the state to the front
in the excellence and variety of its ag-
ricultural products. The plan pro-
posed is to have ten sof our young and
entarprising business men guarantee
say 500 each toward the success of the
fair, and let them manage it. This
would give $4,000 to start on. With
this sum, liberal purses could be hung
up and some premiums worth compet-
ing for offered. The city council would
doubtless be glad to give the use of
fair grounds, and every business man
would be interested in getting q crowd
here. Several gentlemen have been
spoken to on the subject and are favor
ably disposed toward the plan. With
the proper effort, it is believed that an
appropriation can be secured from the
legislature.

Taller Peterson, of Eagle Lake, has
been granted pension.
Senator Barr Yesterday introduced
a bill authorizing the county commits
sioners of this county to pay to school
district 43 the license money of Madison
Lake. 1t was referred back to Mr..
Barr.
The bill introduced in the legislature
to put liquor license money into the
county funds does not receive much
favor in this city. The effect here would
be that the $4,000 from this source,
which now goes into the city treasury,
would be turned oyer to the county
treasurer, and in the apportonment
the city would receive but $4,000 of it..
Thus the city would be donating to the
county $l1 900, besides paying its just
share of the county tax and raising a
heavy city tax. Little justice can be
found in this arrangement.
The young people have new and
exciting sport, where there is a clear
surface of ice to skate upon. Some one
has invented sail with the frame 30
made that it can be held in any position,
allowing the skater to take advantage of
any wind and to tack very nearly in the
teeth of the wind. By means of these
sails, person can 60 faster than an ice
boat, which is often as fast as train of
cars. The frames can be taken apart
and put into avery small compass, and
are light. This sport has been quite gen.
orally adopted in cities that border on
lakes.
The council did well in ordering the
removal of the old unsightly building
that has too long disfgured the corner
of Fourth and Hickory streets. 1t has
been used for an ice house for so long a
time that the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary, and has long out
lived its day. It's owners should con-
sent to its prompt removal, for it is dan
gerous as we'll as hideous There are
some other old rookeries about the city
that should be ordered torn down, eli.
Their on the ground of being nuisance
or as dangerous in case, of fire. The ap-
pearance of many of the streets could be
greatly improved by following such a
rule.

Martin Waller, who has for the
past seventeen years been with J.
Klein & Co., has severed his connec-
ton with the firm and viii next week
move his family to Faribault, where
he will open a racket store. He is an
enterprising, reliable young man, and
will take with him the best wishes of
a large circle of friends. Geo. Klein
will take Mr.. Walkers place in the
store, and while still experimenting
the undertaking department will be
assisted in that by Chas. Anderson.
Yesterdays Pioneer Press contained
a Mankato dispatch containing the in
formation ~ that diphtheria is raging
here and that the public schools are
Closed in consequence. Where the cor.
respondent obtained this information
we do not know, but we do know
that the report is as untrue as tits I'M
just. Neither diphtheria nor any other
disease is raging here and the schools
nor any one of them are closed. AS a
matter Of fact diphtheria has devel-
oped in one or two families, and is
closely quarantined. Two rooms in the
Pleasant Grove building have been
closed temporarily, but neither the
health officer nor the superintendent
of schools believes that it is necessary.
Such reports do an injury to any city,
would aid in circulating them even if
true, which the smallest investigation
would show is not the case.
