one of their separators, and Larson

| As the Minnesota threshers company
will not renew its contract for the
employment of convict labor in the
manufacture of it's machines, it ID
thought the prison board will apply
for an appropriation to extend the
binding twine plant, SO as TO give
employment to the two hundred cen
victs now employed by the thresher
company.
| The death of Joseph P. Murray,
which occurred Monday afternoon
from typhoid fever. was shock and
surprise to his many friends in this
locality. Deceased was an old settler
in this county, having come here with
DR.. T. E. Heenan about IL years ago,
aud has for several years conducted
the Wintermute farm north of town.
/ He leaves wife and seven small
children, for whom much sympathy
is expressed.
On Monady evening, October 18th,
| the Rev Thomas McCleary will de-
liver lecture under the auspices of
the Workmen, and viii have for his
subject the A. o. U. w. The entire
nett proceeds ale to be devoted to
charitable purposes, and this, together
with the fact that Mr.. McCleary is q
very entertaining aud interesting
lecturer, should fill the hall to its
utmost capacity.
We learn that L. G. Spooner con.
templates the erection OF q brick
block on the corner of Seventh and
Atlantic avenues, to lie 86x70 feet and
to provide for three store buildings.
It has not been definitely decided as
to whethea the block will be one Or
two stories. Mr.. N. w. Hswkinson,
a Litchfield contractor was in town
Tuesday, looking over the ground
and expects to begin work immedi-
ately.
The nominee for county treasurer
on the democratic and populist ticket,
George w. Borrill, declines to run,
and although strong effort is being
made to induce him to reconsider the
matter, he is positive in his refusal.
In Justice to Mr.. Borrill we will state
that he never sought nor desired the
nomination, and declines for the
reason that he cannot afford to spare
the time from his farm at this season
of the year.
Our Swift county neighbors are to
hold their county fair this week, be
ginning to-day and continuing until
Saturday. A very attractive racing
program has been prepared and
liberal purses offered for tomorrow
and Saturdays amusements. The
occasion promises to be interesting
| and worthy of visit, the manage
ment making every effort to ensure a
successful event. The Sun acknowl
edges the courtesies extended.
| CLOAK OPENING
At WELLS Bros. & HANsoN's
| Saturday, Sept. 20.
While out driving last Monday
afternoon, Mrs. A. B. Wells, her two
children and Mrs. Schiller, narrowly
escaped serious injury, the horse
running away, and while going at full
speed, colliding with apple of wood in
Cogeps wood yard. The occupants
were thrown from the buggy but
escaped without scratch even. The
horse was not hurt, and with the OK
ception of shaft broken there was nc
damage. It was a narrow escape and
somewhat on the marvellous order
considering the force of the collision
| On Friday morning at an early hour
one ofthe Stinson Bros. separators was
destroyed by fire, on the farm of ]
VanKleek, adjoining town. The orr
| gin of the fire is mystery and cal
only be accounted for on the theor,
that it was either incendiary, or orig
mated from spark from the engine
that lodged in the wood work ant
smouldered until famed into blazt
by the strong wind that sprung up il
the early morning hours. Four stack.
of Mr.. VanKleek's caught fire from
the burning separator and were alst
destroyed.
