Notes From Exchanges.


in sheep raising in some portions of
the country, but it is no go in this
section. One attempt in this county
resulted in a net loss of 81 500 to the
owners. T..
Chatfield Democrat: The past win
ter was too much for Harry Griswold's
peach tree which withstood the in
tense cold of so many previous winters.
Its untimely death blasts the last
hope of cultivating the peach tree in
this latitude.
Waseca Radical: That new $4,000
addition to the Mankato Normal
school is to have a hall with a seating
capacity of 1900 people. Pretty good
when the state goes into building halls
for the cities. 1t will be handy, how
ever, for Mankato.
Rochester Democrat, April q: Rev.
Mr.. Stadtfeld, recently pastor of the
Baptist church at Brownsville, Minn.,
is here with his wife and child, stop
ping at the Baptist parsonage. Mr..
Stadtfeld preached at the Baptist
church last evening.
Minneapolis Journal: The pension
list, the: Democratic organs say, is to be
purged of frauds. Nobody can object
to the process if is conducted in fair
ness and accumulated proof. Judge
Lochren will probably see that no
injustice is done to any genuine pen
sioner.
Paramount News: There is not
much doubt that the next legislature
of Minnesota will repeal the law
passed, by corruption, to build a new
state capitol. It will be made an issue
in the next campaign and the Repub-
licans having passed the bill have to
father it then.
New York Press: If the United
States government is good enough for
the people of this country it is good
enough for Hawaii. The Hawaiians
are anxious to be permitted to enjoy
it's benefits. Does Mr.. Cleveland
think it is becoming to insult the flag
and institutions Of America by thrust
ing Hawaii back under her native
tyrants or handing her over to Eng
land?
Mankato Free Press: It is proposed
to select a commission of leading edu-
Gators of the county to make selec-
tion of text books. The action of the
commission will not bind the districts
to change in text books, but in case
a change is desirable it will give the
school officers guide to go by, and
also tend to establish desirable
uniformity in the books of the county.
Northfield independents: There is
reason to believe that an agent of
Chicago houses of i'll fame has recently
been in Mortified and intends to come
again, making proposals under false
pretenses to induce young girls to go
to Chicago upon promise of good places
and large pay. Let no one listen to
such proposals or make any bargains
with strangers and let no one who has
influence with the intended victims
fail to exercise the utmost vigilance
to thwart such infamous designs.

is hereby given that on Saturday last
the editor of the Journal was intlu-
enced by some unknown power to for
sake the duties of business life for a
few days and give himself up to Rev.
Sanford Washburn, who, in a happy
manner, united us in marriage with
one of Dakota's finest damsels 1--WE

Miss E. Desmond Palmer. The scene
of the catastrophe was at the resi-
dence of the young lady's parents,

St. Peter Tribune: The publishing
of the long lists of wedding presents
is considered by most people in
questionable taste, but the following
quoted from an exchange, is unique
in it's kind: From father and
mother of the bride, one Jersey
calf; from bride to groom, one hair
wreath made from hair of the
entire family, and also six white
shirts; from brother Elias, one book of
poems, one dream book, one polite let
ter writer and dog; from Aunt Har-
riet, six hens and rooster, also a
jar of catsup; from cousin Sarah, one
poem made up by herself on the bride
and bridegroom, fifteen verses in all.
Harper's Weekly: The office seek
ers are SO cheerful when they reach
Washington, so full of hope and con-
tidence, so content in each others
society; so abounding in good wishes
