Dot, the Miners Daughter called
out a large crowd at Jesmer's Hall last
Friday evening. Standing room was al
a premium. The interesting play was
we'll rendered. The acting Of some o1
the members Of the troupe would have
reflected credit on professionals. There
was a dance after the curtain had
dropped on the last scene. The ex-
penses were heavy but the Sons of Vet.
Grams had $40 left after all bills had
been paid. We understand the play
will be repeated at an early day in the
future.
| AT the residence of the BRIDES par
ents on the evening of the 10th inst,
at O'Clock, Rev. J. w. Davids per-
formed the sacred ceremony which
made DR.. d. G. Durham and Miss Ruth
M. Thurston man and wife, Only a
few relatives were present and a
sumptous wedding repast was served
after the ceremony. The groom is a
well-known and successful physician OF
this city, and numbers his friends by
the score, while the bride is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. G. Thurston,
and is an attractive young lady, be-
loved by all her acquaintance. That
their married life may be one of sun
shine and happiness is the wish of the
community Herald. ID z 6.s
An exciting game of base ball was
played at Spencer Brook last Sunday
between the Baldwin Clodhoppers and
Spencer Brook Mudsills. The Mudsills
imported Marshal Claggett of this
place to play with them; Ike Walker
and Gus Smith howled themselves
hoarse in their vain endeavors to de-
moralize the gallant Clodhoppers. The
Spencer Brook ladies were also out in
force to cheer and encourage their
favorites. But the Clodhoppers at
tended strictly to business and were as
mum as oysters. Result at the end Of
the ninth inning: Mudsills, 81; Clod.
hoppers, "a. 'Rah for Baldwin.
/ John Schellington, one of the board
of supervisors of Milaca, was in town
last evening. Mr.. S.. says no steps
have yet been taken to utilize that
$1,000 appropriation for a bridge al
that place. Why don't the supervisors
OF Milaca go ahead and let the con.
tract? There are plenty of contractors
who will undertake the job of building
the bridge with the understanding that
the ST, 900 from the State shall be &C.
cepted as part payment. Milaca super.
visors should prepare plans and let the
contract at once. Undoubtedly the
county commissioners will help, but the
supervisors must make the first move
Probate Judge Dickey assumed extra
judicial airs last Friday as he strutted
around town and informed his friends
that he was the proud possessor. of 6
pair of twin calves. He was offered 6
gold watch, a suit of clothes and a bull
pup in exchange for his precious twins
but he scornfully refused all offers tt
trade. He said he was going to raise
the calves and exhibit them at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago. When the
Judge discovered that his near neigh
Dor, Abe Orr, had borrowed one of the
calves for the occasion from L. D.
Douglas, he invested five dollar bill
in soda water for the boys and bribe6
the knowing ones to keep quiet.
The boys tell a good one on Dick
Patchin, of Baldwin. For some time
past Dick has been contemplating mat
rimony. Last Friday in the Sherburne
House parlors, at Elk River, Rev. Mr.
JENKINS, IN the presence OF a few init
mate friends, was about to pronounce
the words that would make Dick anc
Miss Louise Judkins man and wife
The parson had got as far as ssWill yor
have this VOL, when the shrill CRY
OF ''Fire!" resounded through the hote
corridors. With a single bound Dick
cleared the room and in a trice was al
the scene Of the confagration, DR.
Whittemore's residence across the al
ley from the hotel. Dick labored like
a veteran fireman and aided by a host
OF other willing hands the flames were
speedily extinguished and the genia
DOCTORS residence saved. Smoke-be
grimed Dick returned to the hotel and
his waiting bride and the ceremony
was speedily consumated. Here's {
