w. H. Grinnell returned from Chicago
Saturday evening with Mrs. Griunell
whom he took there for treatment.

Sioux Falls Press, %: A fellow
named Brown is working the church
racket in this city. He is an imposter.
In order that the reader may get onto
him at sight and receive him intelli-
gently the Press would state that he is
club footed and somewhat trampy in ap.
p~earance. The fellow was at one time
worth 100000 but invested it all in
booze and is now going through life on
the principle that the world owes him
q living. Pass him along.
Montrose Herald, q: The Masonic
lodge OF Montrose were heavy losers in
the recent fire. They occupied the hall
over Myles & Smiths store and had it
we'll furnished. They carried no insur.
ance and the loss foots up between
three and five hundred dollars. This
loss the boys will soon replace, as it will
only be seven or eight dollars extra for
each. Loss on Myles & Smiths build
ing $4,000; loss on stock, $1,000. Iusur-
ance to the amount of $4,000 was car
ried.
CRev. w. j. Cleveland returned from
Howard on the morning train. He in
forms us that Robbie, the 6 year old son

had come to know little Robbie through
the columns Of the Press.
Aberdeen News, u: The receipts
from the annual leasing of the school
lands Of the county are already in ex-
cess Of last year and will be much larger
before the private contracts, which will
be made from time to time between
this date and fall, are all completed.
County Auditor Hedger states that
leases aggregating $500 we're made on
Tuesday, and that over $1,000 of this
amount was paid into the treasurer.
The law contemplates that the cash,
shall be paid over when the lease is
made, but the competition was SO much
sharper than the farmers had anticipated
that a number did not bring sufficient
money with them to pay in full. They
were therefore given a few days time.
Mr.. j. E. Turner, our butter and egg
merchant was considerably shocked
Saturday evening when he received his
Rockford, ILL.,, paper containing the fol-
lowing reference to his wife: MRS. ].
e. Turner, mother OF Will Turner of the

tached to one of Carrico's stone wagons

into the back of Mrs. Turner's buggy,

pieces. Mrs. Turner was thrown be-
meath the wrecked buggy under the
horses heels, and it was thought that
she was killed, but she m~,raculously

bruises A subsequent message from
Mrs. Turner states that except q little
nervous tension a. result OF the shock
