Tuesday an umbrella repairer Dor
rowed pair of nippers and drills
from Humiston's hardware store to
assist in making repairs and attemp'
ted to retain possession of them.
Fred Humiston succeeded in getting
the nippers back aud it was necessary
to call officer Anderson in service with
no better SUCCESS, officer Mccartney
was called to try his hand and he sue
ceeded in recovering the misap-
propriated property.
The old settlers held their annual
meeting in the floral hall at the fair
grounds Tuesday. The meeting was
not very we'll attended on account
of the disagreeable weather. The
meeting was called to order by Pres.
Shell and j. G.. Thorn elected temper
airy Secretary latter the regular routine
of business, D.Shell was re- elcted Pres
ident and r. B. Plots secretary. 1t
was decided to hold meeting in June
and prepare history by townships
for publication.
\ disturbance was caused Monday
afternoon on 10th Street in front of
Bakers Clothing emporium, by far
mer who had promised to pay stran-
gers board for a few days, whom he
had employed. The stranger is to-
ken of his appreciation violently
struck the farmer in the face causing
the blood to flow. Marshall Ander-
son was on the grounds but for some
reason best known to himself did not
place the offender under arrest. The
blow and instructions from Anderson
to keep still is all the satisfaction the
farmer received.

Prof Cation of Minneapolis spoke
at the Masonic hall Tuesday evening
to large and enthusiastic audience
in the interest of l6 to /. He is a
good orator and emotional speaker to
excite applause, by paying glowing
trihutesand making ridiculous state
ments, such as"the National Govern
ment of 1873, must have been drunk
the republicans must think the dem
ocrats are ignoramuses and hoboes"
and the peoples party that met at St.
Louis was the brains and conscience
of the republican party etc. His
speech all the way through contained
abuse and ri dicule. It is not consid-
cred that he made any new converts
to the free silver cause. A quartette
consisting of E. B. and G.. L.Michael
H. V. Miller and E. E. Douglas |
furnished the music.
The |. o. O. F. Subordinate and
Rebekah Lodges of Stetson and Crys
tai Valley held a picnic at Hartwell's
Grove Aug. 9th, with good attend
ance. It was a lovely day and every
one seem to enjoy themselves. Mr.J.
". Perkins of Crystal failed to fulfill |
his appointment as a speaker, but his
place was ably filed by Elder Brown
Of Minnesota, so the disappointment
failed to disappoint. for Elder Brown
elucidated the principals of Masonry
and Odd Fellowship in candid and
intelligent manner which gave gener-
al satisfaction to the large audience.
Myrtle and Edna Surbrook executed
their pieces admirably and frankie
Taylor spoke The Mining Town ex-
cellent. The Orphans Prayer was
spoken by Mrs. Clover and executed
50 dramatically that it caused tears to
flow freely from more than one in the
audience. The two pieces spoken by
the Masons girls in concert we're de-
ivered splendidly. and we would rec
them to any who wish to
get speakers. A bountiful dinner was
spread and free invitation to all to
oartake and like the five (loaves and
ishes we took up several baskets full.
George Perry furnished the ice cream
rec to all who wished to partake;
ruit was plentiful and all done just
ce to the occasion and went home
