Prague Of St. Paul, on his visiting
trip visited the Odd Fellows lodge
here. After the regular routine of
! business was transacted, the goat was
tied up and an open meeting held at
which great many that were not

} entertained the audience with songs
land an enjoyable evening was passed.
The Scandinavians of this state are
having quite majority in some of
the county offices, and as a general
rule they are honest and conscien-
cious and perform their duties. We
learn from exchanges that in Cotton
wood county there are five Scandina-
VANS holding county Offices and in the
Chisago county every office is filed
with their nationality.
Last Saturday afternoon while John
Ryan, son of Mrs. John Ryan, living
about three miles west was driving
the horses on a binder, they, for some
unaccountable reason began to run,
the boy jumped off and let them 80,
they run along the fence the harvest
er running intoa wire fence, pulling
up twelve. posts and punching the
wire which finally stopped the team.
The boy and team suffered no in
juries and nothing broken on the
machine which speaks we'll for the
construction of the binder. 1t was
Mccormick.
The Hunts Comedy Go. went to
pieces here Friday night. Billy Mar
BILE and wife, who were the principal
actors, were billed to appear with the
company but left them at Madelia
Thursday morning. The remainder
of the members concluded to come
here, show and reorganize, but they
realized their lack of ability and dis
banded. They gave very poor show
two nights to an unusual small audi
ence. Had Mr.. Marble been with
them we feel safe in saying they
would have given good evenings
entertainment and had fair patron
age.
