E. F. Farmer, travelling freight
ent of the Minneapolis & St. Louis

farmers excursion to the State Elk
perimental station next week. Mr..
Farmer stated that the caterpillars or
similar worms we're so thick on the
St. Louis track between Morton and
Redwood on Saturday morning that it
was almost impossible for the freight
engine to pull the train. They we're
smashed by the wheels and the smash
ing practically creased the track.
The recital given in this city by
Miss Mae Henderson delighted all
her hearers in the fullest sense of the
word. She won the sincere admira-

voice and very expressive manner
Miss Henderson certainly excels in
her art. Responding to requests
from her first audience here, Miss
Henderson gave second recital at
the Christian church on last Monday
evening, and returned to Excelsior on
Tuesday.

A farmer named Hensel, residing
southwest of this city, and j. V. Nc
Gettrick, furnished some excitement
on Washington avenue last Friday af-

him. He turned and came back to
the city, hitching his team near the
postofice. His usual place of hitch
