Last week we mentioned the inyen-
ton of patent chimney cleaner by
Mr.. Hart OF Saratoga, and now it
seems that owing to the inactivity OF

interest himself in its manufacture
and public introduction.

home in consequence of the illness OF
his father, returned to Minneapolis,
Wednesday, leaving his father much
improved. His troubIesfrom swallow
ing piece OF oyster she'll is probably
about over. as the gastric juices will
either dissolve or soa envelope the
shell as to remove all further danger
and trouble.
The wrestling match next Wednes-
day between the champion light
weights OF Iowa and Minnesota prom.
ises to be the most exciting event ever
witnessed in Cresco. Loveland is re-
ported to be the best man in his class
that Felkey has ever made a match
with, and the Lime Springs sports are
preparing to back him heavily, SO ii
is said.
Charles Trur key, a boy aged about
II years, son OF Harvey j. Turnkey
at Elma, was in some manner injured

died in few moments after being dis
covered. and with half an hour after
he left the store to do his chores. The
family in this overwhelming calamity
have universal sympathy.

his many Cresco acquaintances.
