The low price of wheat, As for No.
old, aud Al for No. l new is another
that farmers OF this Sec
ton must turn their attention to di-
versfied farming before they can make
it pay.
John n. Jones has another boom
for representative, according to our
Westline correspondent. A baby
daughter appeared at his house on
the 23d, and John wears his honors
gracefully.
The Andrews Opera Co. is certainly
under the control of the iron hand of
fate. Two of the brothers have been
killed in railroad accidents, and last
week telegram was sent over the
wires from Peoria, announcing that a
theatre in that city, where the COM
pany had months engagement, was
destroyed by fire, and that all of the
property of the company, including
the magnificent costumes OF the mem
bers, was complete loss. The many
admirers of the company here will be
panied to hear this news.
Mrs. Ulysses Reed had narrow
escape from shocking death last
Tuesday afternoon about $50 o'clock.
She, in company with a lady friend,
were about to get into cart in front
of the postoHce, when the horse ran
away, going down the hill towards
the Redwood House, with Mrs. Reed
in the cart, and turning in front of
that Hotel so as to strike post, up
setting the cart and throwing Mrs
Reed to the ground violently. The
horse then ran up hill, with the cart
dragging after, and was stopped by
Maj. Powell before any great damage
was done.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather large crowd of young peo-
pie gathered at the residence of J. B
Robinson, on Monday evening. A de-
lightful program was rendered, the
chief attraction being Miss May Lee
of Minneapolis, who captivated the
audience by her humorous selections
She received hearty encore. The
duet, Farewell, Oh Farewell" by
Mesdames Philbrick and Mcmillan
was beautifully rendered and was
highly appreciated by the audience
The band gave number of selections
and surprised every one by their rapid
progress. After the program ice cream
and cake were served on the spacious
lawn. The entertainment was under
the auspices of the Young Ladies Aid
OF the Methodist church.
Conflicting reports and rumors come
from the crushing machine at Kansas
City,where two carloads of gold quartz
we're shipped from the mines north of
this place. On last Monday excite
ment was aroused by the report that
the quartz had been crushed and the
value was placed at 1858 per ton. An
other report Immediately followed and
it appears to be authenticated, to the
effect that the quartz had not arrived
at that point, and Edlund, the pros
pector, who accompanied the shipment
to the Raw City,was sending out trac-
ers looking for the same. This latter
was confirmed in part by Mr.. Erick-
son, who is in charge of the mine, and
who states that one carload had not
reached it's destination, and this is
probably the last car. All of the min
ers are as mum as an oyster regarding
any news FROM Edlund, which is GER
tainly good sign. If the news were
bad they would pick up and leave. So
long as there is no news,or good news,
they will continue to work.
Mrs. Lucy Bowman, mother of Mrs.
G. w. Everett, died at the home of
her daughter in this city last Friday

of the time, lately growing worse un-
til she passed into the great beyond.
