City TclcDI,Cne Line.

President Estee, of the city te!e.
phone system, has wired the town
and put in some p phones. 1t is Il
commendable enterprise, and the
Pass hopes he will make a good
thing ont OF it. The use OF the tele-
?honeis ggeatconyen;ence, far more
than many persons suppose. And
it's convenience and comfort grows
with usage. 1t is is a step in the
towns progress, and should be en-
couragpd by every citizen. Some
day there will be telephone system
along the e. & n. W. connecting all
towns.

Christmas DOingS.

Christmas will be quite generally
observed in Miller by exercises at the
various churches. The Methodist
and Evangelical societies will have a
tree and exercises Jointly at the M.
Z. church. The Christians will have
a tree and exercises at their church,
and the Presbyterians will have a
tree and program. The only ones
reported to the PRESS from outside,
are a tree and oyster supper at the
church in Pleasant Valley township,
and Il Christmas ladderat the Rec
Heights church, all to be on Christ
mas Eve-one week from tomorrow,
Friday, night. The Press presumes,
OF course, that a general invitation
is always understood to be extended
to all OF these exercises, and that any
one who desires may have presents
hung on the trees.

ScraY OYER Wages.

Deputy sheriff Dunn went to Wes-
sington Friday and arrested Thorn
as Martin, on complaint OF old Mr..
HinckleY, OF Hubert township, who
appeared before States Attorney
Christ and swore that Martin was
pOintin @ shot gun at him wholly
obliyious Of the fact that he, Hinck-
ley, was not bullet proof. He came
10 Miller on the freight Friday, and
was SO fearful Martin would take his
life that he wanted an officer sent
down there Immediately to arrest
him, which was done, and Martin
was put under $1,000 bonds. The
trial was set for Tuesday before
Squire Yil!man. Martin had been
working for Hinckley and they diff
Tered about wages. At the trial Mar
tin was bound over in 500 bonds.

Elevator Fire.

The Sleepy Eye Milling Co.'S ele.
vator at st. Lawrence burned Fri.
day night between 8 and 8 O'Clock
No one seems to know how the fire
caught. There were some $500
bushels of wheat in the elevator.
An effort was made TO get help from
Miller's fire department by telegraph,
but it happened that just at that
time 10 one was in the Miller office.
It will be remembered there was a
heavy fog on that night, and al
though only a couple of miles away,
the fire was not visible in Miller,
which has on all occasions respond
Ell to calls for aid. Nothing was
known OF the fire here until next day.
1t is not known whether the proper
to was insured or not.

A peculiar storm struck this sec
ton Friday. continuing three days.
1t consisted OF fog and frost. Trees
Grass, wires and fences were covered
TO the extent of half inch, and pre-
sented a beautiful appearance.
Every weed and blade OF grass looked
like an icycle, telegraph and tele'
phone wires resembled great cables,
aud tile trees might be imagined II
lovely white forest in fairyland.

Electric Lights

There is some speculatlongping on
among business men as to the prac-
ticahility OF an electric light plant
for Miller. Those who have given
the matter some investigation have
learned that a dinamo sufficiently
large could be had for about $500
to 5000, to be run either by artesian
well power, or the mill engine. They
state also that stock company
could be formed and furnish the light
10 business houses Il nd residences ut
10 greater cost than the present ex-
pense OF Lighting with lamps and oil.
There is nothing too good for Miller,
and the Press hopes the new spirit
of enterprise recently displayed by
our citizens will materialize in vari-
GUS things. Again let us insist there
is room for enc good town between
Huron and Pierre, considerably larg-
err than any town has yet been. The
logic of the situation points to Mil
Ter as that town. During the past
year or two, while every other town
has been gliding backward, Miller
has slowly forged ahead, increasing
her population, and improving the
town generally. With some general
united effort on the part of Miller's
citizens the next year or tw0 the
town and surrounding country can
be greatly benefited.
