Charlie Mitchell Of Alexandria, the

, it sorely needed, a frst-class newspaper,
was in the city for three minutes on Sat-
urday, and during that time he shook
hands with a halt score of old friends
+ who were only sorry that the train
didn't tie up here a week.
The street commissioner has been
experimenting with road grader this
week-the Western, represented by In
gram Bros, and it seems to do fine and
rapid work. Why it would not be prof.
liable in this city to operate a good
machine OF this kind does not appear.
nearly every city and town has one or
more.
| The district encampment Of the
Grand Army will be held at Osakis on
July 2, 8, 4, and 5. The great day will
July 4th, and it is expected that great
crowd will be in attendance. B. r.
Palmer Post will attend in body, and
it is probable that arrangements will
be made for taking the band there on
that day.
Lightning wrecked the house Of heo.
Lano near Long Prairie last week. The
wife and son OF Mr.. Lano were standing
on porch at the time and were terribly
injured. Mrs. Lanos foot may have to
be amputated, it was so badly shattered.
The clothing of both of them were torn
into shrcds. 1t was very narrow es-
cape for both of them.
| The heavy rains which occasioned
land slides and washouts in the noun
tain deserts of the west, caused through
travel to be suspended on both the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific roads.
The latter road has succeeded in repair
ing damages and trains are now running
as usual, but there arc several gaps in
the Great Northern line which will be
closed this month.

two or three other St. Paul gentlemen
are in camp at Cedar Lake just this side
of Little Sank. Unless they are breaking
all previous records, they are having
royal time. The camp is equipped for
an all-around good time.
Notices were posted this week in the
town of Malta, calling special election
to vote bonds in aid of the Northern Pa
ci6c extension. If these bonds carry, as
seems likely, the whole $40. 900 required
will then have been raised. The Herald
Star is reliably informed that it is now
quite definitely settled that the extension
will be pushrd through to this point be-
fore the ground freezes this fall.-[Orton-

Fox scalps are up--Bob Luke thinks |
$500 piece only reasonable. Some
one from Pope county worked off seven
of them onto the chairman of the Ash
ley board the other day-and he wanted
more. Pope claims to have purchased
several hundred Stearns county gopher |
tails, and retaliated with a few fox
scalps, labeled wolf. 1t wasn't Bob's |
fault that they were not paid for-those |
fellows were too foxy for him.
The crop outlook in this vicinity is |
rather encouraging than otherwise. The |
light precipitation has been felt on the |
sandy soil, and rain is much needed, and |
yet it is question whether the early |
winds are not more responsible for the |
appearance of the crop on the light soil |
than the recent dry weather. That |
fierce wind Immediately after the crop
began to grow weakened the wheat |
plant. On the heavier soils all crops are |
looking fairly WELL 1t is the prospective |
price that is the present cause of offense. |
The St. Charles Union says of the |
University Male Quartet: The boys |
voices show thorough trailing and blend |
admirably, while Prof. Heapes is an elo. |
cutionist of the highest ability. They |
were encored again and again. Added |
to this testimony is that OF the Univer-
sity students who pronounce their sing |
ing to be of the highest orher. They |
will sing in the Congregational church,
under the auspices of the Young Peoples |
Society of Christian Endeavor, on |
Tuesday vening, June &c.
Mrs. Mathew Wright, who was the |
first woman to settle in this upper coun-
try, died suddenly the other night at the |
home of her daughter, Mrs. Oscar Tay-
lor, at st. Cloud. The Wrights settled
few miles south of Fergus Falls thirty
FIVE years ago, and only the failure of
the St. Paul Pacific railroad prevented
Fergus Falls being located six miles fur
ther down the river, where the Wrights
had laid out townsite. Mrs. Wright
had two sons killed by the Indians dur.
ing the outbreak here. Her son Edwin
M. Wright, was state senator and city
attorney. Her husband survives her.
The Ski U Nah Quartet, of the State
University, will appear in this city on
the evening of June &c, in one of their
high class concerts. The gentlemen who
all have unusual musical ability, have
made a special study of the theory of
harmony, so necessary to successful
male quartet singing, and are very high
lv recommended both by the press and
our own students who have heard them
sing. They are accompanied by Prof.
w. ]. Heapes, A. NJ, Phi. B., who is
one of the finest elocutionists i'll the
northwest. The quartet consists of G.
J. Zintheo, LIST tenor, 7. M. Davies, 2nd
tenor, Robt. E. P. Kline, LIST bass and
7. M. Hughes, End bass. They will APP
pear under the auspices of the Young
