i &C. S. Bertram, deputy dairy commls
sioner, and carl caturist, was in the city
on Tuesday looking sharply after adulte
rated foods. He took a number OF sam
] pies of vinegar, baking powdes, etc.. out
of retail stocks, and of milk and cream
from the cheese factory and creamery for
analysis. The commission is doing fine
work in behalf of public health.
John F. Kinsella Of Ashley is trebly
afflicted. Cholera infantnm has claimed
three of his children, two sons aged three
and seventeen months respectively, and
a daughter of four years. His wife is
dangerously i'll. He has universal SYM
| pathy in his crushing troubles.
1T is shame that such wanton
destruction of property should be IN
dulged in as is, apparent at. the Episco-
pal church, picket after picket has been
wrenched from the fence, and many have
been cut and mutilated which were not
detached. Unless it is stopped legal
measures will be resorted to.
Business over the Fergus Falls di-
visions Of the Great Northern was never
more active than at present. In one day
nearly 500 freight cars went eastward
over the line, of which oyer 400 more
loaded with wheat and the balance with
stock. The yard here is filled with cars
a great part of the time.
William Stephenson has been trying
to run the train from Park Rapids to
Sank Centre and return since Monday,
and is actually tagged out. He leaves
at FIVE O'Clock in the morning and does
not get back until nine in the evening,
and it is too much for human endurance.
He expects relief in day or two in an
other complete crew.
The Oldest inhabitant doesn't pre-
tend to remember any season even away
back in the forties when the weather in
September was quite so fiery. The
Thermometer has been prancing among
the nineties ever since Tuesday of last
week. tits mighty good weather for
maturing corn; but tough on the
pastures.
Harvey 6. Fisher has purchased the
Long Prairie Leader of F. B. Simmons,
who retires from editorial management.
Mr.. Simmons has furnished his readers
with an excellent paper, and the HERALD
regrets to lose him from the fraternity.
Mr.. Fisher is bright young man who
will work into the traces and prove
a worthy successor to the vacant chair
editorial.
George Rotz made complaint against
Mat Leuschen for an assault committed
upon him on Monday. while crossing
disputed highway. Mr.. Leuschen: the
complainant alleges, struck him in the
face and inflicted wound over the eye.
He was arrested on Tuesday and ar
raigned before Judge Barto. He plead
not guilty, and his trial, was fixed for
Wednesday. He changed his plea and
was fined ten dollars and costs.
Lieutenant Howard will leave on
Friday or Saturday of this week for
ARIZONA to assume active duty in the
army. He anticipates busy times for
the ensuing year. The fort is on an
Indian reservation and there are always
numerous intruders and undesirable oc-
cupants to be elected and kept in order
aud he is inclined to think that business
of that kind will be assigned to the
younger officers.
Albert Hargroys got ugly drunk ON
Tuesday and got into a row in Wanish's
saloon and hurled a beer glass which hit
young Will Connolly. who thrust his
head in at the back door to learn what
the disturbance was about, full in the
face cutting him so that surgical atten-
dance was necessary. Hargrave was ar
rested and was tried by jury today. He
was convicted and fined forty dollars, or
sixty days in Jail. He will pay the6ne.
"A funny incident occurred on Sunday
on Third-st. in this city. A number of
boys were chasing black squirrel about
the streets, when the nimble little animal
sought refqge upon the back Of horse
belonging to Joseph Parker, which was
standing slcepily pondering the quiet OF
the day, The squirrel skurried up the
tail of the horse and perched himself up
on his back not Understanding the situa-
ton the horse kicked and plunged. free
ing himself from the buggy which was
re to q complete wreck,
j Josiah Cooper brought back from the
east quaint and curious book of music.
which is more than hundred years old.
It is bound In leather, is about eight
inches long and four wide, containing
more than two hundred pages. The
selections are all sacred, and the music
hand written. 1t was written by Elias
Mathews, great uncle of Mr.. Cooper,
and because the property of his father
| nearly hundred years ago. it was given
to him when mere hoy, and he was
born in 1850. Unfortunately there is no
definite date attached to the work.
| The announcement was made in the
HERALD recently toat Tully & Co. sold
four and fifty cloaks last season. 1t was
such an evident error that it hardly
needs correction. The number sold was
four hundred and fifty, and this season
opens withlivlier trade Notwithstanding
the heated term. No such display was
ever made in this market-eyerythine
from q dollar jacket to a genuine astra
chan cloak. Ladies are especially in
