the first time there has been complete
reunion of the family for several years.
-Soren Jacobson, formerly with the
Sank Centre House, has purchased a
farm in Crow Lake, near Belgrade, and
is working it. He was in the city on
Saturday. He says the wheat was
looking pretty thin and sickly before the
refreshing rain storm of Thursday, but
it is looking fairly well now.
Geo. M. Bennett of Minneapolis came
up on Saturday returning on Monday.
He made a trip out to his Westport
farm. He valued the granary destroyed
by fire at 81 900 upon which he had in
surance of $500. He also lost about
500 in miscellaneous property, not in
sured. He intends rebuilding soon.
The children's Sunday school celebra-
ton at the Congregational church on
Sunday evening was pleasant and
profitable entertainment. There were
several fine features, but the rendition OF
NEARER my God to Thee" in the deaf
mute language by Mrs. Hanson's class
was unique. Miss Hannah Petit had
instructed the children in the language
for the occasion.
"A religious street discussion between
two citizens was cut short on Fourth OF
July morning, very uncermoniously.
One of them was seated in a chair, In
front of the Sank Centre House, and the
other standing near. A great cannon
frecracker exploded Just under the chair,
lifting the disputant about yard into
the air, and when he struck, his language
was not such as beftted a religious dis
cussion. Alexander Moore thinks he
knows W no fired the cracker, but won't
tell.
The mayor and his policemen are
entitled to great credit for the admira-
BILE discipline maintained on circus day.
No gambling or questionable deyices OF
any kind were tolerated, no complaints
of theft or fraud were made, and yet 1t
is well known that tough gang tol'
lowed in the wake of the show. The
management had negro detective with
them, In their employ, who is a good
one, and rendered his assistance to the
local authoritiesin protecting the people
from fraud.
The night crew at the big mill can saw
some logs, but they are not showing ur
much by daylight since THURSDAYS day
light run of the mill, when 1641 logs
were cut in 10 hours. The mill is doing
excellent work, and if the crews keep or
increasing their records the timber re-
sources of the state will beexhausted ever
sooner than J. ]. Hill predicts. The high
est previous record was by night crew
1852 logs in ten hours. The two mills
are now saving nearly 100000 feet o
lumber a week.-[Little Falls Transcript
