brought to town. Through the kind
ness of j. j. McCanney we have the
specimens now on exhibition at this
office.
1t is reported that the prison twine
has been reduced in price, and it is
now furnished to dealers at 6 cents
in car lots. This will make CORE
spending reduction to purchasers, we
presume.
In the midst of the strife aud con-
tention, strikes and boycotts, wheat
continues to fail in price with dis
couraging symptoms OF weakness.
But then what else can be expected
under the unsettled condition OF
affairs2
Some smooth crooks have been
seen in town and vicinity during the
past twenty-four hours, and as they
are a part of the same gang who have
been into mischief here before, it will
be well to keep close watch Of stores
and dwellings.
Miss Mabel Watson met with
painful accident Saturday, by having
one of her fingers slip under the
needle while running a sewing
machine. The needle struck the bone
and snapped in pieces, the services
of physician being required to re-
move the fragrants of steel from the
flesh.
About noon, Monday travelling So
Iicitor was placed in striking stu
alton, so to speak, by the deceptive
orange peel, and as his caboose came
into collision with the sidewalk and he
sat down to study of astronomy, his
were foreibly expressed
in several languages, principally
Greek to refined ears.
A fishing party consisting of Judge
Brown, Co. Attorney Flaherty, Sheriff
Munro and o. G Hanson, left Mon
day for Birch Lake, where they will
remain for few days on record
breaking trip. The biggest string of
fish gets the head prize, the longest
and toughest fish story sweepstake,
and the BOBBY prize goes to the one
who hooks the first bull-head.
A young boy named Harry Ross,
was accidentally hit on the temple
with a base ball bat last Thursday
evening, and for time it was feared
dangerously injured, but fortunately
the hurt was more painful than
serious. He was standing too near
the batter, who, not aware of his
presence, swung the bat around, the
blow striking the lad on the temple
knocking him senseless.
A game of ball between the Wheaton
and Morris clubs was played on Mon
day afternoon at the driving park
grounds, and resulted in score of IL
to O in favor of the home team. The
visiting club was no match for the
home team, and hence the game was
too one sided to be interesting.
George stinson was in the pitchers
box for the Morris club for the first
time this season, and as far as could
be judged, had good control as well
as old time speed.
We can't, without a descent to pro-
family, fifty characterize the heat pro-
duced by the suns ardent rays. The
word hot does not express it, and in
the category of synonyms there are
only the word frey, which denotes
the presence of fire and the word
burning which denotes the action of
fire, upon which to build. 1t is with
reluctance that we refrain from
further comment on the heated term,
but our comparison while apt, might
not look we'll in print,
If Stevens county's land, rich in
natural agencies, that under careful
and intelligent cultivation give prolific
returns, that even with cut-and-cover
methods yields productivity, that is
adjacent to competing lines of rail
road, that is ready for the crop as
soon as plowed, is not worth $40 per
acre, unimproved, then there are no
farm lands in this broad state worth
this amount. Yet, you can't buy
lands in less favored localities for the
above named price.
We have received a specimen of the
Russian thistle and a bulletin from
the Agricultural Experiment Station,
and as everyone should know what
the weed looks like and how best to
eradicate it, we have forwarded list
of the supervisors of each town in this
county and requested that the bullet
in be forwarded them. The Pioneer
Press Herman correspondent reports
the appearance of this pest on the
farm of P. G. Mckenzie, of Eldorado
Sample OF the weed received may be
seen at this Office.
All preparations are being made
for the work of harvesting, and the
indications are that the garnering Of
