Nswfndl'nd, with the accent on the tirst
syllable, seem to have been u~nfortunste.
The historian Of that country says the
accent ought to be on the Sland," aud
that it may in . pinch be- on the Sound"
but never on the .New." But, in any
event don't be pedantic about 1t.
C. j. Button and family departed to-
day for Usage, Iowa, where they will

oret their leaving. A large number . e
at the depot to bid them eood-by.
G. b. Kennedy and wife and 8. M.
jerks returned last evening from their
southern trip much benefited by the
change OF climate. They called on the
way back at Pittsburg, Kans., and found
q busy, growing city. They saw there
Rev. and Mrs. Ewart and Mrs. Price,
formerly Of this place and found them
we'll and doing we'll. Mr.. Ewart's efforts
are meeting with success and his church
is growing stecdily.
The umerou friends Of Hon. J. j.
Fitzgerald have long been trying to per
suade him that it is his duty to run for
mayor at the coming municipal election
and to-day have been rewarded by re-
ceiving his consent to the use Of his
name as q candidate tor that Office. HIS
friends expected to make the formal an.
nouncement of his name tomorrow but
The DAILY LEADER will be pardoned by
its readers for giving this piece of good
news a day 10 advance.
The county commissioners had $50 ap-
plications in for seed grain last night,
ITO of which they had acted upon and
granted relief. Nine applications had
been rejected for want OF sufficient So
curity. About Is more applications
have been added to the number and act
cd upon today. The commissioners
think that not over 1900 bushels OF
wheat will be necessary to supply all de.
mand. There is considerable desire for
more fax than the law permits.
Aberdeen dispatch, 2: A number Of
farmers in the vicinity Of Warner, Brown
county, have banded together and will
cultivate a large amount Of sugar cane
The cost of seed is q matter of small ex-
pense and the growing Of the crop is by
no means an experiment. 1t has before
been tested and the association contem
plates the purchase Of q sergum mill, in.
Guiding crusher, evaporation, etc. 1t is
estimated that q 2O-acre field OF fair Gaze
should yield 5000 gallons OF syrup, worth
40 cents per gallon.
Murray & Porter have received notice
from Judge Jones Of his decision in the
Stanford. Reynolds will case to the effect
that the marriage OF Stanford to the
woman Pomelieu in Minneapolis was null
aud void and that his marriage to Mrs.
Reynolds was valid and hence the will
which leaves Stanford the homestead for
life, $1,000 in cash and about $1,000
worth Of other property, is valid also.
This case has been 80 stubbornly fought
on matters of fact it is not at all 1ikely
that it will be appealed and not at all
probable that it would be reversed il ap
pealed. Nj. Stanford is corresponding
ly elated at the outcome.
The average American prides himself
on his quick wittedness and delights to
twit the foreigner for his du'lness in see-
ing the point Of q joke, but the practical
joker is hardly excusable when he per
p~etrstes 90 coarse and cruel a piece Of
ingenuity AZ was,palmed of on tho peo-
pie OF Wells, Mimi, by the publisher Of
the Forum Of that place on the morning
of April l. 1t rebearsed q story OF bank
robbery in that place that night, giving
u0soAA0O 0COOuoVO Va VuO uIulNOA u u W
Olson, formerly OF Howard and we'll
known here, and the mortally wounding
of another man. Some OF the papers
which reached here aud Howard caused
friends Of Mr.. Olson untold anguish be-
fore they learned the spurious and d.
abolical character Of the narrative. Such
joking shows an indelicacy OF feeling and
coarseness of breeding that reflects SER
iously on the bringing up OF anyone who
would indulge in 81 unnatural a pastime.
