Paris Grange, June 90. After the literary
exercises have been completed, a collation.
of ice cream and cake will be served.
Granite Grange, North Searsport, now
numbers ITO members, and nine more will
join in short time. The new hall of this
grange is nearing completion, and will be
ready for grand ball on the evening of
July 4th.
The sisters of Granite Grange, North
Searsport, have formed an aid society, and
have raised funds for the purchase of an
organ, and also contributed $50 towards the
new hall. They are now raising funds to
furnish the hall when completed.
If grange members would disabuse their
minds of the too prevalent idea that all re-
sponsibility rests with the leading officers,
and attend their own meetings regularly
doing all in their power to assist in the ex-
ercises, we should hear far less about dor
mant oranges and small attendance.
The members of Andover Grange met
with Rev. and Mrs. M. II. Mabry recently
for Field day. A bountiful dinner was
served, which was followed by very in
teresting programme. One of the pleasant
features of the entertainment was a paper
by Mr.. Mabry, entitled my Ideal Granger
Brownville Changers will give an enter
tainment at Briggs Hall, Thursday even

which five well known ladies of Brownville
will compete. The one doing the quickest
work will receive prize.

IMPROVE THE RIVER.

The discovery of coal at Redwood
Falls, with the promise of extensive
development, opens up new possibili-
ties for Mankato, as manufacturing
city. If coal can be delivered IN Man
kato cheaplY, this will be a great in
ducement for manufactures to locate
here, and the abundant railroad facili-
ties here makes this city the most de-
slrable in Southern Minnesota for this
purpose. With little improvement
of the Minnesota river between this
city and Redwood Falls, coal bardges
could be fioated down and the cost Of
transportation would be very light
Indeed, during the high water Of
spring enough could be brought here
TO last year, if necessary. OF course,
this would depend upon the kind of
coal found at Redwood Falls. The
kind first brought to the surface did
not stand exposure to the air, but it
is believed that a better kind has
been found. The McKinleys have
leased $500 acres and go to work TAX
ing out coal in business like way.

THE LAW DEFIED.

The attention of President Swan is
respectfully directed to Chapter 149,
Gen. Laws, 1887, regarding the claims
of old soldiers for public service. In
asmuch as Mr.. Palmer, the recently
deposed engineer of the pumping STA
tion is an old soldier, every way quail
fed and entirely worthy his hire, the
statute is peculiarly applicable in'his
case. The law reads
SEC. l. That in every public de-
partment, and upon all the public
works of the state of Minnesota, and
the counties, towns, cities and vii
lagos thereof, honorably discharged
union soldiers and sailors, who are
properly qualified, shall be preferred
for appointment and employment.
Age, loss of limb, or other physical
impairment, which does not in fact
incapacitate shall not be deemed to
disqualify them; providing they pos
sess the other requisite qualifications
for the proper discharge of the duties
of the position sought.
SEC. II. This act shall take effect
Immediately after it's passage. APP
