Frank is a careful and prosperous
business man, and as such would bea
valuable member of the board. We
predict that he will receive an almost

J. q. Long, of Bigslow, vas Gale,
last Saturday. He reports that 2he
farmers have paid worry little attention
to the law requiring the extermins-
ton Of Russian Thistles. Town OIL

forced, or the county will be overruu
with this poxious weed. To permit
this is detrimental to the county's
interests.
While driving in the country north
of town two young ladies received
quite shock, which might have
proved fatal. The horse becoming
frightenedS at something plunged
down an embankment and started to
town, but owing to the coolheaded-
ness of one of them, he was guided
right, and luckily nothing serious re-
suited, but it was a narrow escape.
The enterprising town Of Pipestone
contemplates using steam for heating
purposes throughout the city. The
pipes are to run under ground, each
radiator guaranteed to heat a room Is
xl8 feet in size, in any kind of wealth
or to any desired temperature. The
cost of radiator will be So, and the
steam for each So per month. If this
idea can be put into practice and the
price given not increased, the coal
barons of Pipestone will be compelled
to retire from business.
Eight persons, including William
McCune and wife, were poisoned at
the Wavertree hotel, Heron Lake, last
week Tuesday, from eating biscuit
made from cream of tartar in which
small quantities of tartar emetic had
become mixed at drug store through
carelessness. At one time the poison
ed were in critical condition. but by
prompt and active treatment the pa
TENTS were relieved. Rev. McCune
stopped on his return from Farihault
aud assisted his son with the mechan-
cal work on the paper.
The alleged Mobiles county fair, bill
led at Worthington this week, has
been declared off, owing to scarcity
of exhibits, and a shortage Of gate
receipts. Several Adriauits took their
stock and fast horses over, at consid-
cradle expense, and are not feeling in
the best of humor at the action of the
fair managers. Never mind boys,
Adrian will hold fair next year, and
can be relied upon to fulfill every
promise made. -Nobles Co. Democrat.

himself enough to ascertain facts.
We are always pleased to commend
a commendable institution, and,
knowing that the NJ. G. G. is doing
more for the young people who attend
there than any similar institution of
the north weet, we are pleased to
quote the following from the LIE
Sueur Sentinel. "The Mankato Com
mercial College opened its fall term
Monday. A good business education
is desirable and this school has the
facilities and has turned out hundreds
of young people fully able to cope
with the knotty problems of business
life. Messrs. A. Wagner and A. King
are attending there this year.
Albert Lynch, the famous French
artist, is said to have given us a new
and distinctive type of the ''Ameri-
can girl" in picture completed after
his return from recent extended visit
to this country. His characterize.
ton of young American womanhood
is exceedingly interesting and attract
ive--the conception of critical stu.
dent, and the creation of skilled
painter. Mr.. Lynch was commits
stoned by the The Ladies' Home
journal to portray the "American
grip as he saw her, and his picture
will be reproduced in the October
number of that magazine.
The prospects are bright for
for few independent candidates for
county offices, among them are Miss
Maud Graves for county Superin-
tendent of Schools; j. j. Kendlen,
Auditor and G. Murphy of Adrian
for. Sheriff. The two former ones have
no very good reasons for coming out
as such. but the latter would be fully
justified in taking such action, as
he stands high in the estimation of
the people, and if ever an injustice
was done an aspirant one was done in
the Democratic convention. Ander-
son himself moved that that the first
ballot be informal, and was seconded
by Blair, showing that Blair made
bluff to deliver his delegates; but the
Adrian delegates stood by him as they |
went in. From what can be ascer.
