Innocent joys as band concerts, walks
home from church and calls by the sup
posedly ardent swain, who staid until
10 or II o'clock, never remaining after
that hour" His conversation on such
subjects as corner lots and the attrac-
tions in the New York theaters, consid-
cred as q style of wooing, bring to mind
the eloquent plea of Sergeant Buzfuz
in the cause celebre of Bardell versus
Pickwick: "Chopsl Gracious heavens,
gentlemen, and tomato sauceP"
1t appears that the plaintiff. who at
the time of the trial was % years old,
taught school in Norwich. Nothing in
the written opinion gives hint OF her
personal appearance, whether short or
tall, dark or fair. The same is true of
the defendant, who returned to Nor
WITCH from New York in 1884, having
inherited some property, and took up
his residence there with his sister, Mrs.
Chapman. He was l8 years Miss Yale's
senior. All details regarding the per-
sonal characteristics of the hero and her
oine of the drama must be supplied by
the imagination. The action begins at
a wedding in Norwich. where the pair
met. What Mr.. Curtiss said to Miss
Yale and what Miss Yale replied to Mr.
Curtiss are not touched upon Perhaps
they talked about the weather. Any
way, they became acquainted, which is
the main point, and a week or two aft
erward he took her home from an even.
ing prayer meeting and followed this
up by escorting her to band concert.
| Then he went to New York and staid
there several weeks The opinion does
not say why.
Miss Yale was member OF the Con-
gregational church and sang in the
choir. Mr. Curtiss, upon his return from
New York, Joined the church, and, hav.
ing a melodious voice, was pressed into
the choral service Occasionally he es
corted Miss Yale home after the service
In Norwich and similar villages this
constitutes what is called keeping
company One Of the very first times
they came home from prayer meeting
together he said 10 her;
az am going to New York soon. and
wish you were there this winter IN
stead of last, because I would like tC
accompany you to entertainments which
am expecting to enjoy while an
there"
This declaration Miss Yale treasured
mp. Subsequently she sprung it upor

that for two years he kept taking he'

LICENCE WINS AGAIN.
High License Council Elected by
Il Good Majority, but the
Majority tor License is Small.

Tuesday was pleasant day for
holding an election and voters turned
out we'll. The polls opened at nine
o'clock and closed at four. Voting
began Immediately upon the open
ing of the polls and continued quite
steadily until near the close. Both
parties had vehicles out after tardy or
Indifferent voters, so that full vote
of qualified voters was polled.
The contest was quite spirited and
the street around the entrance to
the polls was pretty we'll occupied
all day. Many arguments were car
ried on, favoring both sides Of the
question, but those engaging in them
kept their temper 80 that there was
nothing more serious than the heated
debates. A large number of votes
we're challenged which necessitated
some votes being sworn in. Probab-
ly about sixty persons were disfran-
chised by the new law.
The following is the result:

DR.. Andrews Returns,

DR.. Andrews, of Mankato, returned
last week from his extended eastern
trip. There being numerous inquir-
les from those desiring his profession
al service, we make this announce
ment. The doctors successful prac-
tice has secured him a wide spread
reputation in southwestern Mime
sofa, and for the benefit of those un-
acquainted and contemplate seeking
treatment away from home, we take
the following from the Mankato Dai-
ly Free Press:
Although graduate of two Of the
best medical colleges of the country,
Rushford Medical college, of Chicago,
and Belliview Hospital Medical COL
lege, of New York City, DR.. Andrews
has, during the whole term of his
pracUice. gone to some medical cen.
ter abont every three or four years to
refresh himself in his studies and to
familiarize himself with the latest ad-
yancement and discoveries in medi-
cine and surgery. His practice ex-
tends pretty much over southwestern
Minnesota, as patients come to him
from all of the surrounding towns
and country: sometimes from a dis
tance Of hundred miles or more,
and he is often called to those dis
tances to see patients. During his
absence this winter, DR.. Andrews has
spent about a week visiting in Wash
ington and other PLACES, but the bal
ance Of the time has been spent in
the hospitals of Philadelphia under
the tuition Of men who stand at the
head Of the profession in America
Thus he has acquainted himself with
the very latest teaching, the latest
discoveries, and the latest advance
ment in medicine and surgery.

Death of John People.

On Monday afternoon occurred the
death of John People,, a well known
and highly respected farmer, at the
home of his son, Ed Pepple, in Cass

and became unconscious, in which
condition he continued until his

pie, Mary E. Sherman and Luncinda
e. Powell, who reside in this county,

Minnesota, and Reuben G.. Pepple,

NOTES..

It commenced to get wet as soon
as the polls opened and continued so
until Wednesday.
Major Thurber. after all his anxiety
about voting, overlooked the hour
and failed to vote.
It is said that Dana will make a
model constable.
The ladies of the W. G. T. U.
served lunch in GA. R. hall all day
as usual.
It is intimated that there will be
three saloons the coming year and it
is suggested that the council accept
all applications and that the law be
strictly enforced
Quite a number lost their vote by
having the idea that the polls closed
at five o'clock instead of four.
The majority last year for license
was 81. The gain this year is some
source of qualification. -.

The men elected are numbered

being fully qualified and possessing
the necessary ability for conducting
the affairs of our village under any
and all circumstances. Now that
they are elected, all prejudices crea
ted by the contest should be laid
aside and their opponents join with
them in furthering the interests of
our village, by cooperation in efforts
to secure and make any legitimate
advancement to our city. Harmony
is necessary requisite to successful

the building up of the village, and
we trust this will prevail. We also
trust that the officers will be diligent
in their duty and enforce the law, OBJ
serving that there is no laxative in

In arranging camera for the purpose
of photographing high building it is Of
ten necessary to point the camera upward
in order to include the whole of the build

converge in such a way that the top Of the

In taking pictures Of buildings it is bet
ter to have the lens little above the cen
ter of the plate, which is done by moving
the rising and falling front. By raising
the lens above the center of the plate it
cuts oil more of the foreground and saves
fitting the camera as much as would be
necessary If the lens was in the center of
the plate If one is taking pictures from
a window or from a high position, the
lens should be brought little below the
center of the plate, thus avoiding too much

The vertical swing, the movement of
