Oscar Borg has been drawn for petit
juror of the U. S. circuit court. which

The labor of getting this great fam

Geo. Whittet's las! evening.
Hutchinson Leader: A few weeks
ago Hutchinson man taught his dog,
very fine bred, we'll behaved setter.
to chew tobacco. Now the dog comes
into the house by the back door, never
scrapes his foet on the mat, never goes
to church, is careless at his meals, goes
with lower class of dogs, and it is
feared he is beginning to take an inter
est in politics.
Laying on Of hands" for certain
complaints, especially in children, says
the Pipestone Star, is now taking the
place of Christian science. A mother
cured her boy of the cigarette habit
with one dose. "She laid her left hand
on the boys neck, her right hand on a
substantial slipper, and then laid the
slipper where it would do the most
good. 1t effected a cure and relapse
is not looked for"
To the G.. A. r. at Marshall mainly
belongs the credit of securing the con-
viction of Wesley Keith, formerly a
liveryman there, fo- beastly assault
upon little girl, the daughter of a
deceased member of the post. Judge
Weber sentenced the criminal to the
highest penalty under the statute
five years in state prison. Keith and
his father are trying to stave off just
ice by moving for new trial.
Renville Times: The Touring mill
in Beaver Falls, erected in 1874 by
White & Eldredge, and owned for SOW
eral years by T. Storch, has ceased to
be. We understand that Mr.. S. will
remove the building, together with the
residence, to some other point in the
county. A hole has also been cut in
the dam and the water drawn off from
the mill pond. So ends an "improve-
ment" that, after II years, failed to re-
alize the hopes Of its projectors.
Tho Presbyterians of Minnesota ar,
particularly we'll pleased over the out
look for Manchester college. The trust
ees of the latter have all along felt
that if they could secure 100000 to
pay on it's debt by June 10 they were
safe, and that figure has been passed
by several thoueand dollars. This
leayes only $4,000 to be obtained to
free the school and half of that amount
is in sight. This will put the institu-
ton on an independent basis and en-
able it to do moro effective work.
Here's little pointer for our mer-
chants, from the Hutchinson Leader:
O. D. Hutchinson went to St. Paul this
week with a petition signed by every
business man in town asking for free
express delivery. AS usual he won
his point-the august manager of the
express company couldn't stand the
pressure of O. DIS irresistible irresisti-
bility. He "came of the perch" and
promised by all that is good that free
delivery shall be established in Hutch
inson as soon as arrangements could
be made there for.

Nothing short of a drive through
those parts of the county that are most
rapidly filling up, can afford realiz-
ing sense of the boom that is on in
Redwood county this season. If the
same amount of breaking is done in
'92 that has been carried forward Ia
