Notes From Exchanges.

Faribault Republican: Mrs. Caddie
Beecher has taken position in Kohl
mann & Co.'s millinery department.
Northwood Index: John Pace came
down from Austin Saturdayto spend
Sunday with his wife, who is staying
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Pike
of Rose Creek.
Brownsville Leafet: M. B.Johnson
has been appointed deputy sheriff of
this county, by All Mollison. He had
this place several years ago. He is
not Notary Public any more.
Wells Advocate: Miss Kate Drown,
of Austin, arrived in the city Tues
day for weeks visit with friends.
L. McWhorter, of Austin, has been
visiting a number of the young people
in town this week.
Blooming Prairie Times: The
Blooming Prairie separator creamery
association at recent meeting decid-
ed not to sell butter at retail in less
than one gallon jars. They also voted
| not to take in milk that would not
come up to the average of 3.25.
Penny Press: Take these so-called
lectures and debates on the A. P. A..
and the school question. Donnelly
has been netting about 800 lecture,
and the recent debate in Milwaukee
netted the promoters $1,000. When
will the people see through these hol-
low schemes, and cease to fight
among themselves, thus paving the
way for others to pluck them.
Wells Advocate: Wednesday night
of last week eleven Free. Masons
from this place went to Austin upon
the invitation:o the lodg at that place.
They were handsomely entertained
and enjoyed a fine banquet They
were loud in their praises Of the way
in which they were treated, and were
free to say that they never more
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. +,
Preston Times: Yes, Kallstad will
come within ten thousand votes of
beating James Tawney this year, and
possibly he may get ten (10) Republi-
can votes in the District by virtue Of
his being a Norwegian. People are
not such fools as to vote against a
man with Tawney's well known alb
ilities and in favor Of a man who does
not know better than to seriously
contemplate an election on the
Democratic ticket this fall.
Hokah Chief: Ig'Donnelly's esoteric
cogitations always smack Of con-
glomerations of f1atulent gurrulity,
|jejune ba babblement and asinine affecta-
tions. His extemp poraneous descant-
ings and unpreme editated expatiations
lack intelligibility and Veracious
|vivacity, nearly always linked with
rhod domont tadeS or thraso onical bonn bast.
He seems unable to sedulously avoid
/ |allpoly lysyllabic rofundity, psittaceous
vacuity, ventriloquil verbosity and
vandiloqu uent. apidity.

The state house ring is evidently
figuring upon an early convention for
the nomination of a Republican state
ticket. The people in this section are
in favor of a late convention, not ear
lier than July 20, or Aug. l, so that
the other crowd may not have so much
time to figure on the possibly weak
places in our ticket. But then, the
ring will carry it's point as usual.

a Cnrinus Relic of tho VAR.

Walter French has O curious relic OF the
war. IL is watch with bullet firmly
imbedded in one side Of the case. Tho
watch belongs 10 Captain McGunnigle,
who was a member Of the Ninth Massa-
chusetts Infantry volunteers and now lives
in East Boston. In 1864 at the battle of
Laurel Hill, during the battles Of the
Wilderness, Captain McGunnigle was car
rying the watch in his breast pocket when
he was struck by n bullet. The bullet
could not penetrate tie watch, and his life
was saved
When the watch was shown 10 O'Ferrall
OF Virginia, he became interested at once
and told how during the war he was car
rying an old fashioned daguerreotypc OF
his sweetheart in his pocket, anda bullet
struck it and glanced of, saving his life.
1t was the picture Of Baltimore girl, but
the end Of the romance was out OF the
ordinary run. When the war ended and
O'Ferrall looked her up he found her mar
ried to another man, and thus she lost the
chance Of becoming the wife Of the govern
or OF Virginia Boston Advertiser.

Flying Foxes and Bats.

The flying foxes are relished as food by
the inhabitants Of the countries where they
are found, and certainly creature which
lives on fruit ought TO be good eating.
Their heads are wonderfully like that OF
miniature fox, and their large eyes sug-
gest that they find their way by sight, OF
which sense the small insectiyorous bats
would seem to be almost independents, as
blinded specimens, In the experiments OF
SpalAnzani, proved TO be able 10 avoid
obstacles TO their flight as easily as those
which could see.
This power BATS owe 10 their highly de-
veloped sense of touch, the large sensitive
surface offered to the atmosphere by the
broad naked wings enabling them TO per-
ceive An object before they touch it, prob
ably by the difference In the resistance OF
the air. And the huge ears and compl-
Gated nose appendages found in so many
insectivorous species also subserye the pur-
pose of guidance, though they certainly do
not add to the animals appearance, the
facial aspect Of some bats being past de-
scription hideous, while they are just as
offensive to the nose as TO the eye.-Cbam-
