BYE.BYE. NORMAN.

The St. Agnes GUILD entertained a
large party of young people at the
residence of Capt. w. P. Huntington
in Oak Villa, on Bridge street, last
Thursday evening. The event was
the elimination of the Trades Carnival
season and the young people were as
semhled to bid farewell to Mr.. Nor
man HI. Hackett, who had so tirelesslY
devoted himself to the work of MAX
ing the Carnival a success. The
guests, about forty in number, were
met at the door of the brilliantly
lighted residence by Miss Dunning-
ton, who was most charmingly attired
in pale bluelansdowne, cut decollete,
and Miss Baldwin, who wore lovely
gown of lemon silk, 1880 style.
The guests were presented with
pretty beribboned souvenirs bearing a
part of quotation and each one was
expected to find the person whose
card completed the quotation and es-
cort them to the refreshment room.
Light refreshments we're served be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock, and
from that time till the gathering dis
persed the lovers Of terpsichore made
the best Of the time. The house was
beautifully decorated and the refresh
ment tabh had . magnificent center

the edges twined with SIMILAR.

NEARLY ALL NO. 1,
Good Grade of Wheat This Year.
HIGH Priced Harvest Hands.

There is at least one consolation in
connection with the crop of wheat
now, being harvested and placed into
stack, and that is that the greatest
portion of it, so far as this county is
concerned, will be good No. wheat.
The kernels are large and plump, and
look perfection. Eben Martin, New
Avon farmer, was in town last Mon
day, and in an interview, stated that
the wheat in that township would av-
erage more than Is bushels per acre,
and that it was nearly all of the No. l
grade. He stated that field belong
ing to Till Tibbetts, in that town,
would undoubtedly thresh Is bushels
of No. hard wheat to the acre..
Lawrence Holton, the bonanza wheat
farmer OF Sheridan township, states
that his immense wheat field of nearly
1900 acres will yield from fifteen to
eighteen bushels OF No. wheat. lie
completed the harvesting last Satur-
day and will commence threshing to-
morrow morning.
The town has been full of idle men
during the past few days. They came
here in search of employment, but
they all have the idea that they should
receive 81 per day during harvest.
But if these people would stop and
consider the fact that wheat sells for
only As cents per bushel, and that it
takes over four bushels to pay their
price,they will readily see that a farm
er cannot afford to pay over ST so, or
ST. rs at the most. A farmer would be
foolish to pay over the latter amount.

SURE!

St. Peter Journal: The manager of
the Redwood B. B. team is arranging
with the directors of the Driving Park
for the use of the grounds for a match
between Redwood and St. James, for
a purse of $500. Redwood Falls has
a team which they can justly be proud
Of. They are gentlemen and play ball
liko professionals. It will certainly
be a most interesting game from start
to finish. St. Peter has played both
teams and knows that Redwood has
the chance of 10 to / on the game.
Should they come here St. Peter will
try and entertain both clubs with the
best courtesy.

COUNTY STATISTICS.
Valuable Pointers Given to the
State by Auditor Anderson.

County Auditor Anderson has made
his report of the products grown, the
number of cultivated acres producing
the same, and the live stock of the va
rious classes, of this county, to III.
Stockenstrom, commissioner OF sta
tistics.4 The report covers 1892 and
shows the acreage, etc., of 1893, ac-
cording to the returns of the assessors.
In some cases the returns we're very
inaccurate. The importance of the
work should teach assessors to accept
and secure nothing but facts.
There are LISA improved farms I'm.

Freaks Of Globe Lightning.

A very singular story is told concern
ing the vagaries of one mass of globe
lightning. A tailor in the Rue st. JAG.
ques, in the neighborhood Of the Val
de Grace, was getting his dinner one day
during thunderstorm, when he heard
loud clap, and soon the chimney board
fell down, and a globe Of fire as big as o
child's head came out quietly and moved
slowly about the room at small height
above tine floor. The spectator, In con-
versation afterward with NJ. Rabbinet,
Of the Academic des Sciences, said it
looked like good sized kitten rolled up
into bali and moving without showing
its paws. II was bright and shining, yet
he felt no sensation Of heat. The globe
came near his feet, but by moving them
aside he avoided the contact.
After trying several excursions in diff
ferent directions it rose vertically to the
height Of his head--which he threw back
to prevent it touching him-steered to
ward hole in the chimney above the
mantelpiece and made its way into the
Aue. Shortly afterward-"when I sup
posed it had had time to reach the top,
the tailor said-there was terrible ex
plosion, which destroyed the upper part
Of the chimney and threw the fragments
onto the roofs of some adjoining build
ings. which they broke through Cham
bers' Journal.

The Abandonment Of Deep p1ournin

Tho Abandonment of Deep Mourning.
The so called deepest mourning is
no longer considered good form in Eu-
rope, and Grape has dropped out Of fash
ion, being now only used for draung
buildings and monuments, or for shroud-
ing the lighted lamps Of the vehicles
figuring in the funeral cortege. No one
would over dream of taxing either the
empress of Austria 0r the Princess of
Wales with indifference to the death Of
their respective SONS, yet each has been
content to mourn her offspring without
Grape, either in the shape of veil or as
trimming to her dress. The result of
this has been that widows, especially
when young, dispense not only with
Grape, but with the characteristic cap
and long streamers. Indeed. at the pres
ent rate, there will be no outward sign
left by which we shall be able to distin-
guish from the ordinary woman those
