which the attention OF the ladies is di
rected. She has, also, a complete line Of
school hats, at the lowest possible prices.
Her stock of millinery is so -comprehen-
sive that it leaves little to be desired,
and she is confident she can give com
plete satisfaction. Do not fail to call
and examine it before making purchases.

The principalship of the Melrose
school for the coming year is a matter
of doubt as yet. Prof. Vandewater,
who had charge of the school last year,
has decided that he will not undertake
the duties, and the applicants tor the
place are Mr.. Anderson of st. Cloud,
and Perry Bixby of this city. The OPEN

until September IS, on account of the
prevalence of diphtheria. in that locality.
A telegram was received on Wednes-
day by DIR. E. J. Lewis from Mrs. John
Coats, of Kansas City, announcing the
6eath of Leon, her younger son, which
occurred on Tuesday night, requesting
him to carry the news to Mrs. Coats
mother, Mrs. john Collins. There were
no particulars given. Leon Coats was
the younger of the two children, both
sons, and was an unusually bright and
manly little fellow, whose pleasant dis
position made him favorite, not only
with his youthful associates, but with
all who knew him. 1t is terrible blow
to the parents, and they have the heart
felt sympathy of a large circle of friends
here.
Conductor Fred Walker met with a
serious accident at the Great Northern
depot on Monday evening. His train
was leaving the station and he was on
top of the caboose as it passed the water
tank. The spout of the tank was down
lower than usual, and as the car passed
by it, struck him on the side OF his head,
knocking him off the train. He struck
on his head between the platform and
the track and was picked up in dazed
condition by the trainmen. DR.. Dubois,
who was called. made an examination
of his injuries and found that the skull
was fractured and piece of the bone
pressing against the BRAIN. He con-
sidered it wise to send the injured man
to st. Cloud at once, as the injuries
would necessitate delicate surgical
operation to raise the bone from the
brain. By later reports it is learned
that he is improving.
IS. E. Atkins, deputy auditor OF
-Stearns county, was in the city a couple
of days during the past week, looking
after the replatting of the odds and ends
of irregular lots. parcels and blocks of
lands. tits nextto impossible at present
to list these lands for taxation and the
auditor has ordered the owners OF such
parcels to have them plated. As befare
stated about hundred notices have
been served on property owners. Messrs
Kelsey and Hogan have undertaken to
do the work, and have made consider
able pr ogress. But Mr.. Athens is OF the
opinion that the proposed method, al
though suggested by Auditor Vossberg,
will fulfill the statute Our attorneys
and Others interested take issue with
Mr.. Athens, at any rate the property
owners are in no temper to submit to
any burdens which are not clearly COR
templated and made obligatory by law.
The Chute survey is too fresh in their
minds.
The death of Mrs. William Clark OF
elrose, on Monday evening, removes
rom earthly activity one whose whole
Ute has been benediction. She was not
onl y respected, but beloved and rewarded
by all who knew her, to degree which
is ofitself a eulogy beyond power of pen
to express. Her great-hearted charity
was broad enough to cover all, and her
cordial hospitality was proverbial. In
every relation of life she was model,
and her influence for good will bea last
ing as it is widespread. 1t was within
her own house that her stalwart virtues
were brightest, and all who have been so
fortunate as to be admitted within that
sacred circle of which she was the reign
ing center will ever cherish the memory
as one of the fondest. AS wife and
mother her devotion knew no bounds,
and the blow falls with crushing force
upon her bereayed husband and sons.
The funeral was largely attended by
sorrowing friends and neighbors, Rev. !.
F.>Hamilton of this city officiating. Her
two sons, William Henry of st. Cloud,
and Levin of Portland, Ore, were with
her during her last hours. She has been
an invalid for long time, suffering from
an organic heart trouble, but the end
was comparatively sudden.
