A NARROW ESCAPE.

A horse hitched to buggy ran
away on Front street at about ten
o'clock Wednesday, and turned up
Walnut. The buggy broke off two
hitching posts. Mrs. Ballinger, of
Minneapolis, who is visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. Geo. NJ. Phillips, was sitting
in buggy in front of Mr.. Phillips
livery barn when the runaway dash
ed into the barn door, striking her
buggy and badly damaging it. The
only thing that saved Mrs. Ballinger
from serious accident was the fact
that the buggy attached to the run
away horse struck the side of Mr..
Phillips barn at the door, breaking
off two bricks. Mr.. Phillips was sit
ting inside the doorway, but got out
of the way just in time. The horse
belonged to a farmer whose name we
did not learn, and had never been at
the barn before. This is the second
occurance that a strange runaway has
gone into this barn. This time the
horse became thrown at the back part
of the barn, but the buggy was not
badly injured.

AN EARLY CONVENTION.

The Republican county committee
met at B. D. Smiths office at two
o'clock Tuesday, and large
number of the candidates were pres
ent by invitation. There was a divis-
ion of sentiment among the candi-
dates as to when the convention
ought TO be called for, some favoring
the last part of August, and some the
later part of September, with the
others divided anywhere between
these extremes. A compromise was
reached, satisfactory to all parties,
and Tuesday, Sept. 4th at HOO a. M,
was set as the time for the conven-
tion, which will be held in the city
hall in this city. The basis of repre-
sentation was placed at one delegate
for each twenty votes, or major frac-
tion thereof, cast for President Harri-
son in 1892, making total of 1872 dele
gates. The caucuses will be held
Saturday, Sept. 1st, from 500 to 500
p. m. in the county, and from 700 to
500 p. m. in this city.

AN OLD SETTLER GONE.

Joseph May, one of the early set
tiers of the county, died at 4 40 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon at his home on
East Main street, after long illness.
He was SO years of age, and leaves a
widow and family of grown children
to mourn his loss. His illness was due
to a complication of diseases, and his
life has been despaired of for some
time. Mr.. May was one of the early
settlers, and located first at ST. Clair,
where he conducted farm for many
years. He afterwards moved to near
the city. He was held in high respect
by his wide acquaintance, and his
death causes sorrow among those who
knew him. The funeral services will
took place at the German Catholic
church at eight o'clock Wednesday
morning, and the interment was
made at St. Clair.

Some Way Should be Found.
Duluth News-Tribune:

Duluth News-Tribune:
We cannot forbid intelligent, hon
Orable, industrious men from coming
to this country without reversing all
the practices of the country and going
back upon some of the very principles
for which we contended through 90
years of the nations history.
But some way should be found to
protect the American laborer from the
influx of underfed and cheap foreign
labor. American labor, raised as it
has been and used to the conditions of
America, cannot compete with the
LaZarOni, the Huns or the Chinese or
any other class of labor whether it is
in the form of imported manufactures
or imported men.

A WONDERFUL YIELD.

The largest yield of wheat this sea-
son that we have yet heard of is from
a two acre field of winter wheat be-
longing to 1. N. Ewing, who lives
two and half miles northeast of
Eagle Lake, in LeRay township. The
product from the two acres was
ninety bushels. The land was
carefully measured Monday eye
ming, to make sure of the facts.
The wheat weighed 60 pounds to the
bushel, and graded No. northern.
Walter Hill, of LIE Ray township,
has threshed, and reports a yield of 81
bushels to the acre, grading No. 1
northern.
Harry Hill, of jamestown, secured
ZOOS bushels of spring wheat from
thirty acres, or an average of 33 1-6
bushels to the acre.
Messrs. Volk and Humiston, pro.
prietors of the Eagle Lake mill, state
that the average yield of wheat in
the territory adjacent to Eagle Lake
is from % to 80 bushels to the acre
Considerable new wheat has already
been marketed, and the grade is in
all cases No. l. The mill started up
yesterday after months shut down.
The country about Eagle Lake is
looking in first class condition. Corn
is looking better than in many other
sections, while flax is by no means a
poor crop. Il.

for unloading and moving away, and
this is done at very little cost. Five
years ago the meadow was a mass OF
underground, and Mr.. Cummins has
done large amount of work in clean
ing it up, and now has the roots about
cleaned out.

LAID AT REST.

The funeral of the late Geo. FL. Fox
was very largely attended, and the
concourse to the grave was long one
despite the scorching heat of nearly a
hundred degrees in the shade. The
services were held at the residence OF
O. o. Pitcher, instead of at the Epis-
cOpal church, as announced, and the
house could not hold all who were
present. Rev. A. r. Taylor conducted
the services, which were brief and
very impressive. The floral offerings
were unusually extensive and beau
tiful, and testified to the esteem in
which Mr.. Fox was held in the COM
munity which for SO many years was
his home.
The pail bearers were Geo. W.
Thoms, John r. Thomas, G. P. Will
liams, A. G. Barney, e. R. Kennedy
and Geo. w. Mead. The Masons took
charge of the remains on leaving the
residence, and headed the procession
to Glenwood cemetery, where the
beautiful Masonic rites were perform
ed. The Knights of Pythias attended
the funeral in body.
Mr.. w. Baldwin, of the Waupaca
lodge of Knights of Pythias, accom-
panied the party bearing the remains
to this city, and was present at the
funeral as the representative of that
lodge. Mr.. FoX's business partner,
Mr.. G. Shearer, was also in the party
and attended the funeral.
