John Sweetman, M. P. for East Wick
low. is ON a visit to his colony in Murray
county. He expresses the greatest con-
fdence in the ultimate success of Home
Rule and laughs at the threats of the
house of lords, and says that they are

of course that there is no foundation for
the report lately published to the effect
that MIR. Gladstone's new bill provided
for the creation of four pro- incial parlia-
ments in Ireland. This, he says, is an
old proposition of Mr.. Chamberlain's a,
which would not be accepted by any one

The Ada Index relates rather anus
ing incident in regard to Norwegian
who was voting the Republican ticket in
the late election. He had been in the
booth for quarter of an hour when one
of the judges told nim to hurry up. He
paid no attention to the judge, but kept
turning the ticket around and looking at
it. Again he was spoken to, and in a
rather perplexea way answered: II can't
find Knutev' The Sank Rapids Herald
says that in that town Norwegian found
"Knute" by voting only for the name Of
"Nelson" which occurred four times on
the state ticket.
Martin T. O'Brien, the son of John
O'Brien, respectable farmer residing on
the Wood farm near Faribault, Rice
county, was recently killed at Great
Falls, Montana, by man of bad charac-
ter named Charles Wooster. It appears
that when O'Brien was city marshal he
had arrested Wooster and handcuffed
him when taking him to Jail. Wooster
is reported to have threatened O'Briens
life at the time when the first opportun-
ity presented itself. On the day of the
murder O'Brien interfered in dispute
between Wooster and another man. and
without any warning Wooster drew his
revolver and thot the marshal dead on
the spot. The deceased was a fine young
man who was liked by all who knew him,
and his sad fate has brought sorrow to q
large circle of friends besides his family
His brother, Joseph O'Brien, Of the un-
dertakiug firm of Fox & O'Brien, of Min
neapolis, brought the remains home for
interment, which took place at Calvary
cemetery, st. Paul.
