In the LeSueur county court

cides that the commissioners have 8
right to issue bonds for the erection

It is likely that the commissioners q
Mobiles county will issue long time
bonds, at low rate of interest. This
is certainly the business way to dis
pose of this matter. Bonds maturing
in 10, 20 and 80 years would not be {
burden on any one. We understand
that the commissioners are now il

papers have said about me as a pos
sible candidate for state senator, but
I wish to have everybody know that
I am not candidate. If / were sit

willing to make hopeless fight for
the sole purpose of maintaining our
party organization, but under the
circumstances I cannot spare the
time to make the canvass and I could
not afford to take the Office if it were

and grace the meetings Of the Glad
stone Club, with their angelic forms
and smiling faces.
We are informed that the young
people Of the Episcopal Church are
about to produce before the foot-lights,
the time honored comedy entitled
"Fanchon The Cricket" Young
ladies DESTROYS of going On the stage
should leave their application with
Miss Carrie McCune.
For the past few days our friend
DR.. Dolan has been suffering from a
slight attack Of corrustifed .exegesis
antispasmodically emanting from the
principal germ of the animal refri-
gerator, producing prolific source
Of irritability in the pericranial cpl
dermis of the mental profundity.
Our financial affairs are gradually
assuming brighter aspect, arrange
ments are now in progress by which
Mr.. Thompson, our veteran banker,
will be able to resume business in the
near future. Furthermore, we are in
formed that the prospects are good
for another Bank being established
here in the spring.
HEARD ON THE SrREEr:-That the
editor of the Boomerang has been at :
tending Church quite regularly of
late. That Mr.. Smith intends to move
to Brewster, to organize a singing
society and banjo club. That the
fremen have secured training quar-
tiers for their mill with Luverneto be
pulled off at this place in July next.
That editor Eastwood intends moving
down on third Ave, to be nearer the
county seat fight and superintend the
erection of the Court. House.
The OUTLOOK FOR 1894:-If we may
Judge from the present indications,
the outlook of our village for 1894, is
very fattering. The Court House,
(which we have had in our minds eye
for so long, is the thing with more
than potential existance, in fact it
is certainty. The commissioners are
already figuring on plans and speci-
fcations, and as soon as the warm
spring rains have brought the frost to
surface, ground will be broken for
one of the finest buildings of it's kind
to be found in southwestern Minnesota.
The building of the Court House will
mark an epoch in the history of our
village-an epoch of growth and
prosperity.
Contracts are being made for at
least three business blocks during the
coming spring and summer, which
will add much to the beauty of the
business portion of our village. The
electric lights will be put in as soon
las spring opens, some Of the bonds
have already been purchased by
cas- stern parties. Our new laundry is
already in running order and the pro.
prieter intends to put in a steam
plant within few weeks. Last but
not least in Importance, the village
Council have under consideration the
forfeiture of our old special Village
Charter (Which by the way, is a very
poorly constructed document,) and
our incorporation under the city law

throws UP his insurance agency, as
he is not in sympathy with the com
panies' efforts to rob the patrons. If
all agents would do the same the
companies would soon see the error
of their way, and get down to a live

Died, in this town, Saturday
at 11:2O p. M, Mrs. Gertrude S.
Miller, aged Fl years, 8 months and
21 days. Deceased was born in
Baltimore, Ohio, May 10th, 1872;
was baptised by Rev. H. H. sandoe
January LIST, 1881, and received into
the Grace Reform Church at Balti-
more when IL years of age, and re-
NAMED member until March 1892,
when she removed to Worthington.
In October 1892 she joined the
Christian Endeavor Of the Presbyte-
rian church, and was secretary Of
same for two years prior to her death.
Two years ago she married Mr..
Amos Miller, who survives her. She
leaves three brothers and four sisters.
Both parents are, living. Funeral
services were conducted at the Pres
byterian church, Tuesday at II a. M,
by Rev. Robt. McCune.
We notice many comments in
our exchanges on the ''cut throat
steal-every thing you-get-your-h hands
on" rates charged by insurance com
panies. There is no question but
that rates are too high in country
towns by at least 40 per cent. True
there have been some pref ty heavy
losses in the cities during the past
year, but the country places should
not be asked to make the loss good.
The rates here in Worthington get
way up out Of per cent into grand
larceny. And we are told that anoth-
or advance of 20 per cent will soon
be made. This in the face of the
fact that we have splendid water
works system and a well trained fire
company, is unreasonable, and the
people would be justified in making
an awful ssroar" and we expect they
we'll. Worthington pays out more
money every year for insurance than
the entire loss has been since the
town was organized. 1t would seem
that good way to bring the COM
panies to fair adjustment of their
rates would be to organize mutual
companies.

Mr.. Charlie Fogg entertained about
forty of his young lady and gentle
men friends on last Thursday night
by giving them Mistletoe Party at
his hospitable home near the city.
Charlie acquitted himself as host in
excellent rtyle, and his assistant, Miss
Maggie Fogg, displayed her talent as
a hostess in a faultless manner. The
Mandolin Club played some very
sweet music. About midnight a
most sumptuous repast was offered,
and to say it was fit for the gods does
but half express the feeling of those
who partook thereof. At late hour
the happy crowd dispersed feeling
obligated to Mr., Fogg for the splen-
did manner in which they were en-
tertained.

Accidental Shooting.

On Saturday afternoon about four
o'clock, as Lee Garrison, son of Mr..
George Garrison and Will Hurst, son
of Mr.. Dan Hurst, were returning
from days hunt Lee Garrison was
fatally wounded by the accidental dis
charge of young Hurst's gun. The
boys were coming home and were in
Pat Punch's pasture near the toll gate
on the Grassy Lick pike. Hurst was
a few steps in front of Garrison with
a % caliber rifle in his hands, GAR .
son called TO him to let down the
hammer of his gun. Hurst attempted
to comply but his hands were more
chilled than he thought and in letting
down the hammer it fell from lis
grasp and to his horror he heard
Immediately after the explosion of the
gun the cry from his companion,
"Oh' Will, you have shot me-, and
saw him fall to the ground. The bali
had entered the forehead just above
the eye and had probably lodged
against the bone at the back of the
head. Young Hurst as soon as posi-
bic procured aid and took the boy
home, where he died late Monday at
ternoon.

"A Journey Around the World,
By Rev. Francis Clark,

Is book worth reading. Vividly it
gives the customs of foreigners, de-
scribes the country, the manner of
trauel, and relates many pleasing an
ecdotes.
The reader is personally conducted
through Austria, India. China, Japan,
Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, and many
other lands. We see these countries
through American eyes, and obtain a
perfectly clear view of them and their
people, supplemented by two hundred
and twenty splendid illustrations from
photographs, most of which were
taken by DIR. Clark himself; for he
carried complete Photographic outfit
with him.
The description of modern life and
scenes in Palestine is written with an
earnestness and fervor that make this
portion of the book wonderfully real
and precious to Bible readers.
A journey was made of hundreds
of miles in an old spring wagon across
Turkey in Asia, through an unknown
country infested by robbers and hos
tile natives. The story of this peril
Gus trip is full of thrilling interest and
ay,;tinU a6vanturaS
Mrs. Clark accompanied her hus-
husband everywhere. She draws a
vivid picture of life in far-off lands,
GAS seen through Woman's Eyes.
Her narrative is packed with anec-
dotcs, incidents, and personal expert
ences. Her story Of the long journey
in the wagon is highly entertaining,
it's privations and perils, especially to
a woman, being many. She was the
only woman in the party, which con-
sisted of herself and seven men.
The book contains GAO pages, 220
illustrations, and is well bound in
cloth, library and silk. Miss Ida M.
Thomas is the agent for this section.
She will call at your homes and give
you an opportunity for buying a nice
Christmas present for your friend.
