TOWN BOARD PROCEEDINGS.


The meeting of the Jasper Town
Trustees on Monday night was a
lively one, and drew a crowd like a
free show, on account Of the bidding
by two companies of our citizens for
a ten years contract from the town
to light the streets with electric
lights. The COURIER last week
printed one proposal, and the other
bid will be found in another place
in this paper. The action OF the
Board in laying over the contract
for two weeks and the consequent
bid Of the new company, saved the
town $50 year on lights, besides
securing for it at least double the
service, as now the lights will have
to be turned ON every dark night
moon or no moon.
After getting through with the
electric light contract the following

Last Sunday morning about D
o'clock fire broke out in Olson's Res
taurant, Herman, which was soon
famed into large blaze by strong
wind, and the whole town threatened
with destruction. The FIRE company
of the town responded nobly but it
was soon to be seen that they could not
cope with the fire which was rapidly
gaining Roadway on them and an
appeal for assistance was sent to
Morris. The fire bell rang at q. m,
summoned the fire laddies together
and the engine and hose loaded on a
fatcar with a number of the boys and
were rapidly whirled to the scene of
the fire. By this timel the fire had
gained such Roadway that it seemed
almost impossible to get it under
control. Undaunted by the heavy
odds against them the boys unloaded
their apparatus and bravery went 10
work, and with the assistance of the
local department, soon had the fire
under control, and by noon the Morris
department felt safe in loading engine
and hose and departing for home.
This is the first test of our new fire
engine has been put to since it was
purchase and the boys say it worked
the finest of anything they ever saw.
The fire is a severe blow to Herman.
It took out seven buildings in the
center of the town all business blocks,
the Herman Enterprise, the
only paper printed there. Although
all were insured the loss will deeply
felt and is estimated to reach $25, 900
with insurance of $4,000.

A gang Of half dozen of our young
urchins turned out to celebrate New
Years in elegant shape. After disport-
ing themselves on the different daint-
les and good quantity, and poor
quality, Of tobacco and cigars, they
boarded the midnight train and went
to Willmar, where they proceeded to
enjoy themselves till noon on New
Years day. They then boarded the
train and came back home Little
did they know that the entire avail
able police force of Morris was wait
ing them at the depot, and as soon as
they would step foot on the platforna
be hustled off before the proper au-
thorities and tried under the charge
of larceny. But such was the case
and this is how it came about: On
the Monday night previous one OF
the noted gang hid himself in Chas-
Wilson's, and after Mr.,,Wilson locked
his store for the night Mr.. Kid pro-
ceeded, with all the pompousness of a
professional burglar, to go through
the safe and helped himself to $50,
after which he made his escape. Mr..
Kid then proceeds to gather together
few OF his companions and take
steps to have a jolifcation which end
ed rather abruptly. The boy that
done the burglar act was given a
sentence to the reform school, while
the oldest of his companions was held
to the grand jury in the sum of $1OO
bail, Che being over 16 years of age
could not be sent to the reform school).
The others were let off with severe
reprimand.

Remarkable Case in Button.

1.-TWO and half years ago our little
boy had large abscess on the side
of his head back of his ear. It was
as large as a pint cup. We called a
physician and had it lanced, but it
seemed as though the wound would
never heal. It would some times
heal for short time and then break
out again. His body was covered
with pinples and blotches. We OBJ
tanned no help for him until we be-
gan giving him Hoods Sarsaparilla.
He is now entirely cured and is strong
and rugged. We give all the praise
Of his cure to Hoods Sarsaparilla."

Last Thursday morning at an ear
" hour small blaze made itself visi-
BILE in the roof of John Spooner's
house, which looked as though house
if not the whole town, was doomed,
as terrific gale was swooping down
from the northwest. The timely and
heroic work of the bucket brigade
was the only thing that saved the
town from terrible confagration'
which extinguished the fire before
the arrival of the fire apparatus, or
before it could be brought into play
