At the meeting of the Board of

ram was instructed to compute mile
age of jurors hereafter according to
the most direct route of travel. E. P.

Chris Schmid had little Christmas
experience which may be very costly,
says the Sleepy Eye Dispatch. With
hundred or SO other boys he was
skating on the lake and ventured too
far out on the thin ice which gave way
and precipitated him into the water.
The crowd present tried to get him
out for half an hour or so before
they were successful and at one time
two OF his rescuers were also in the
water and we're in danger of drown
ing. Everything the boys could think
of doing was done without avail. Final.
ly overcoats were taken off, tied to-
gether aud rope made to reach him
and was pulled out more dead than
alive.
The cantats Jolly Christmas" was
repeated at the Presbyterian church
last Thursday evening to only fair

Cooper, Archie Blethen, the minstre
chorus, Miss Tena Smith, the Misse.
Edna Race, Fannie Brooks, and Bak
or, the quartette of little ones singing
BLESSED Saviour" and the Misses
Curtiss and Whittet. The arch caugh,
fire again at precisely the same time
as on the Monday evening previous
but Santa Claus, who had started his

blaze was soon extinguished.
