BY an act which passed both hous-
es last week, Jackson county has
been set off from Judge Browns dis
trict and made Il part of the new
seven, eenth judicial district. This
result will remove from the too will
ing shoulders of Judge Brown a por-
ton of the work with which he has
heretofore been overburdened, and
for this reason it will doubtless be
very satisfactory to the people Of our
district. Herald.

advertising account from Henry
Klauser Of the Litchfeld WOODEN
mill, Litchfeld, Mimi, and is free to
recommend them as of al excellent
quality, and the price is as low as
such goods are usually sold. Peo-
pie of northern Minnesota will find it
advantageous to themselves as we'll
as to Mr.. Klauser if they patronize
him and thereby encoura &c home
manufacturers" -Morehead News.
Mr.. Buchholz, manager of the North
western Telephone Co.'S line from
Mankato to this place, was here yes
terday which was free day and
every one was notified by Manager
Babcock to avail themselves Of the
opportunity. Those using it were
we'll pleased with the clearness of
the conversation carried on with per-
sons at IA distance. AS soon as the
frost is out of the ground the ground
the other wire will be run in and
this office made switching station,
and a line man will probably be sta
toned here.
A call is made to the ladies to
meet with Mrs. G.. A. Forbes next
Monday to form a society for i'm
proving the cemetery. It is hoped
that the number interested will be
large, as the work of identifying the
entire ground where the loved ones
are laid to rest should be labor of |
pleasure, as we'll as the individual |
graves, and would also be credit to
oGr citizens in taking pride in keep
ing the cemetery in the best possible
condition. As the ladies have taken
hold of this work every encourage
ment should be given them.
About a year ago several yearly
subscri ptions to the ADVANCE were
given for stated service. Some of
these expire the first of next month,
when all those who are now receiving
this paper on that account will be
taken off the list, unless they desire
to continue it as regular subscribers.
This is done because it is not calcu
lated to force our paper upon any
one, and payment is requested of
every subscriber in some manner, so
rather than take advantage of some
Of our patrons by the postal laws,
such subscribers will be dropped un
less they order continuance.

der the direction of Prof. Watson.
DR.. Clark was elected Pres. NJ. P.
Mann, Sec'y and Treas, Jas. Mackay,
Conductor. Saturday evening this
week. the society will be perfected.
An organization Of this character will
be one of benefit and pleasure to
those connected with it, also, to the
community. The proceeds Of the
entertainment given last week are to
be used for the benefit of the society.
It is hoped that the citizens will APP
preciate their efforts and lend a
hel ping hand whenever an appor
t'lnity offers.
Last week a lady we'll advanced i'll
years, who, from what can be ascer-
tanned, was a successful charity con-
fdence worker, was brought to the
lunch counter of F. G. Geiger. In
addition to her old age she claimed
to be blind in one eye and have poor
sight in the other. She paid for her
meager lunch out of a handkerchief in
which was very small amout of
money. After eating she smoked
few times to pass away time while
waiting for the Rushmore train where
she first said she wanted to go. Mrs.
Geiger, desiring to make it as pleas
