naturally, some thinking it sport.
The almond eyed beings are obliged to
pay for the privilege of registering here
as we are further from the deputy
than he is obliged to travel.
The Power Mercantile company re-
ceived a dispatch from Mr.. Erickson's
physician in st. Paul last week in

presumed that Mr.. Erickson is steadily
recovering.

The school election Saturday was a
very one-sided affair. But thirty-four
votes were cast and all for /. NJ
Hobensack and S. III. Sherwood. These
gentlemen had given such good salts
faction and proven themselves so en-
tirely independent OF factional in
huences that the citizens reelected
them with one accord. Opposition
was talked the day previous to cleo
ton but it failed to make a showing
at the polls.
Ed Sayre, who returned from Chica-
go a few days since, says that if the
Wilson bill passes sheep will not be
worth over twenty-five cents per head
from this fall until the fiocks OF the
country are exhausted, as he thinks
there will be a grand rush to the mar
ket of everything that grows
wool. Should this fail he thinks sheep
will 60 up. He says that anyhow
mutton will advance slightly for a few
months as the fat sheep supply is be-
ginning to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
W. Il. Swope, the well known wool
grower of Dog creek, was in town this
week. He reports all well and that
sheep have gone through the winter
with very light loss although a great
deal of hay was fed. We understand
that Mr.. Swope's enthusiasm for the
STUFFED prophet" has somewhat
waned of late and he is reported as
saying that Cleveland was not a Dem
ocrat. As Cleveland is only following
out the celebrations of the platform on
which ne was elected we are inclined
to think that Mr.. Swopeis barking mp
the wrong tree.
