He Never Drank.

Old MT. B., who lived in Bangor several years ago, was called ''very close" but grasping as he was he never wouldaccept intoxicating liquor of any kind. One day he was asked to drink by several of the neighbors at the vil- lage store, where drinks were sold at ten cents each. 'No, thank ye," he replied; "I never drink, gentlemen. But if it's all the ssame to you I'll take a gimlet instead"

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are HOW in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.

POISONED BY ICE CREAM.

There came very near being whole
sale poisoning of a number of the
citizens of Fairmont on the Fourth
from eating ice cream, says the Murtin
County Independent. Mrs. Platt had
prepared the cream for family picnic
which was to take place in the Day
grove on that day and soon after din
ner those who had partook of the
cream became violently sick, and it
was feared for time they would not
recover Doctors Rice, Donaldson
and Richardson were called and after
administering relief predicted no seri-
Gus results, but there were some very
sick people for two days afterward.
Those effected were Mrs. Day and
four children, Mrs. B. H. Ward and
child, Mrs. Geo. Lester and child and
two of H. w. Sinclair's daughters.
What the cause was no one knows but
is supposed to be from the acids used
in the cream or poisonous tin from
the freezer.

CALLS 1T ANARChlSTIC.
gusted With the Demo-Pop Com
VentiOn,

Mr.. j. G.. Graham of Good Thunder
was here Friday, and when the
question of chow he liked the result
of the Democratic convention" was
put oebim, Johns face grew purple.
He was unreserved in his characteri-
cation of the proceedings as being
nothing less than shameful, and the
platform an outrageous populistic and
anarchistic production. He said that
the ticket would be wiped out of eXis-
tence. Asked if he would support
the nominees he promptly and EN-
phatically proclaimed that he would
not, and further said that no self
respecting Democrat could do so. He
did not know just what he should do,
but was wholly positive that he would
not support the Chicago nominees.
Mr.. Graham but echoes the senti
ments of hundreds of Democrats in
this county.

A FAMILY JAR.
A Sad Case of Inhumanity Reported
Friday Night.

A crowd was attracted to a ram
shackle saloon building on South
Front street Friday between eight
and nine o'clock, by the sounds of a
fight within and the cries of a woman.
Before people on the street near by
could reach the door, it was violently
flung open and man was seen to
throw woman out. The assembling
of the crowd caused belligerent opera
tions to cease, but a wordy war ensued
| between the two parties, and from
the conversation it was seen that
they were man and wife. The latter
accused her husband of non-support,
and he coolly told her that he would
support her no longer. She said that
she had family of seven childrenand
that her husband had only given her
twenty-five cents during the past
week. She said that she had slapped
her lord in the saloon, and that he
had retaliated. She sat down and an
nounced her intention to remain I'M
til her husband should give her money
to buy food for their children.
Several of those who had been at
tracted into the saloon were business
men, and one gave her a dollar,
another promised to send her sack
of flour this morning, which he did,
and others extended the hand of
charity. The case is sad one, and
ought not to be allowed to drop, if
those who were there learned all the
| facts in the case.
The police arrived after the trouble
was over, but as there was no disturb
ance then, they had nothing to do.

Mr.. f. J. Grout announces that he
will be a candidate for the Office of
sheriff, subject to the action of the
Blue Earth county Republican conven-
tion. Mr.. Grout has been resident
of Mankato for nineteen years and is
well known throughout the county.
For the past three years he has been
on the police force, and he has made
a faithful officer. He possesses the
requisite qualifications for first
class sheriff, and if the convention
sees proper to nominate him he will
undoubtedly be elected.
