Andrew johnson Gets a Hat Full of
Honey.

Andrew Johnson returned few
days ago from Sweden, where he went
about Christmas on account of the
the death of his mother. The latter
left much property, and Andrews
share was $1,000 to $4,000, which he re-
ceived in cold cash and brought back
with him. Mr.. Johnson has returned
to his farm, his head not being turned
by suddenly coming into possession of
so much wealth. More than that, he
expects to receive another large slice
of property when his father has lived
his time.
Mr.. Johnson is cousin of Gus Mon
son and his brother.

Miller & Kirtzel,of Madison Lake,
have rented the Nicollet House and
have put it in good repair. They have
secured it for two years and have re-
papered and reprinted it. The table
is well spoken of by those who have
been there, and the house bids fair to
become popular with transients. The
new proprietors are gentlemanly and
have the comfort of their guests at
heart.

THE legislature has authorized the
locating of normal school at Duluth.
One of the arguments given in favor
of it's location was that the bill car
ried no appropriation with it. The
appropriation is now asked for. Of
course, what good would the first be,
if the second did not follow.

 close about her ear. And she clasps weak arm over that she may
 no longer hear Still lullaby the wind sobs in the easement
