Will Go to Rochester.

Mike O'Brien, who has been on a
protracted spree here, was taken be-
fore Judge OF Probate Richardson
by the city authorities last Fri
day. Drs. Roberts and Millspaugh
made an examination and recon-
mended that he be sent to the inebri-
ate asylum at Rochester.
This is O'Brien's third trip to that
institution, and when he returns
this time he will very likely be cured.
The authorities endeavored to send
him under the new law to the Kelley
institute, but O'Brien objected, and
as it was optional with him whethe
ne went or not, the plan of sending
him to Rocheste: was adopted.
Judge Richardson will probably is
sue the commitment this afternoon
and Mike will be taken to the asylum
either on the morning or afternoon
train tomorrow.

Railroad travelling agents
Are Active Rivals for the
Georgia Business.

Tuesday noon halfa dozen railroad
agents of lines running south from
st. Paul and Chicago arrived in the
city for the purpose of looking up
the proposed heavy emigration from
Morrison county to- the Old Soldiers
colony in Wilcox county, Georgia.
They somehow got an impression
that about 200 people would soon
leave here for that locality. There
were representatives of the Mil
waukee road, the Burlington, the
MOnon, and other routes.
1t is pretty hard yet to indicate
how many from here will go on the
hunt for new homes in Georgia, but
it is not reasonable to suppose that
the number will be large.
