shown in the state--we speak
truth, for since Jan. / last we
have been paying especial atten-
tion to the importing and the buy

The progress OF the institute, now in
session in this city, was interferred with
Tuesday, by the fact that it WAS neces-
sary to vacate the school building which
is undergoing repairs. As it was impos-
sible to continue the institute there it
vas suggested that an adjournment be
taken to B more opportune time; but
after some discussion it was decided to
leave the question to a vote of the teach.
ers presen :. The vote was taken and
resulted in continuing the term to the
close, two weeks later, with but one dis.
senting vote. The institute was dismis.
sed for the day and Prof's Rock and
Smith, assisted by a number OF teachers,
spent the time removing the desks to tn,
court room and making other necessary
arrangements. Wednesday morning tn,
regular work was taken up, in the new
quarters, and the institute is progressing
in the usual tenor OF it's way, with th,
same interest, attendance and benefit as
before.

About hall past six, Monday morning
our citizens Were alarmed by the cry OF
FIRE. The fire was in the oil house OPP
posite and only about twenty feet from
the depot. Very little effort was made to
save the structure, which was insignifi-
FAN in size. but the united strength OF
those present saved the depot. The loss
was slight,only the building and barrel
oikerosene. The fire is supposed to have
originated from the switch lamp. The
operator had just placed the lamp on u
shelf near the window, closed the doc.
and started for the other lamps but had
gone but IA short distance when the fir,
vas discovered by agent Cornelie. Tn,
outcome was fortunate as with "a littl,
more wind 81 costly confiagration would
have resulted.

BY special invitation and through the
courtesy OF f, W. Small, who furnished
transportation, the publisher OF this
great family journal spent Saturday
night and Sunday at 'Raise the Native"
camp, Pickerel lake. On arriving in
camp we were surprised at the quiet SER
entity which DER Swallowed it and at first
thought it the calm before the storm but
a little later discovered our mistake, by
seeing a sad faced, sleepy native, who
had been in consultation with some of
the big moguls OF the camp, entering q
protest and requesting that the party be
mor quiet and not disturb the peaceful
slumbers OF poor Lo and his people dur
ing the night as they were working hard
during the day, haying, and needed rest.
Why! said he: You people make more
noise than a band OF Sioux braves in the
war dance.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
campers had held high carnival IN the
ghost dance, under the leadership of Ed.
Small, ably assisted by AL. Smith John
Lund, Moulton Bros. and the entire
strength OF the company. Mattresses
and their occupants Were hauled out OF
the tents and aperfect pandemonium of
noises, bowling, beating tin pans and in
dulging" in every device for making the
night hidious with the uproar which was
kept up until morning. 1t even caused
the moon and George Moulton to blush
and neither showed up until late the
next day.
The party consists of Mr.. and Mrs. f.
W. Small and Miss Florence; Mr.. and
| Mrs. A. Smith and sons: Mr.. and Mrs. J.
H. Lund: Mrs. W. S. Hash; Misses Mar
cia, Grace and Gertrude Huntington;
