Normal JottinqS.

The Literary Society is planning for
a pleasant and profitable evening Fri
day. Who does not love "Bobhie'
Burns? Miss DeLap will read a pa
per taking Burns as a boy, as poet
and as a citizen. Prof. L. II. Clark
will recite from "Cotter's Saturday
Night" and Tam O'Shanter." He
will also give some heed to the shorter
poems, making such comments as are
necessary to assure an intelligent
understanding Of the poems by all.
Miss ShulteS visited Burns old home
while in Europe this summer and she
has kindly consented TO give the So
ciety talk relative to this personal
contact. Several songs appropriate
to the occasion will be rendered. Mrs.
Thatcher, Miss Anna Dodge, Miss
Alpha Chide3ter, Miss Grey and others
are among the singers. If you love
Burns come up to the lyceum Friday
night.
The Normal Badger will be con-
tinued. The proposition to cease pub
fishing the journal did not meet the
approval of the majority of the stu
dents. The faculty has also taken a
lively interest in the welfare Of the
paper.

HOW Tn FIND dit

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of tie kidneys. When urine
stains linen il is evidence of kidney troub-
lie. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that I'M
pleasant necessity Of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.

tor of this paper guarantees the genuine

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

There has been very little rainfall
during the past week, which together
with full sunshine and seasonable
temperature has furnished very
pleasant weather for the completion
of corn and potato harvest. Farmers
have generally taken the opportunity
to push forward the work with great
vigor. Corn is now nearly all in the
shock. The week opened very cool
with killing frosts in the northern
and middle sections and heavy frosts
In the southern. In many localities
on Monday and Tuesday mornings ice
formed to the thickness Of a quarter
Of an inch and all vegetation was
killed. The damage from the frost,
taking the State as whole, was
however comparatively slight, as the
hot weather during the early part OF
the month had matured corn very
RAPIDLY and the bulk of the crop was
thoroughly ripe. Some Of the late
paintings were in condition TO be
injured. and as a result there will be
considerable soft corn. Other crops
were out of the way of frost and no
damage occurred except to late
gardens. The dry weather turing the
week has injured pastures and many
farmers are feeding their stock. Rain
is needed to place the soil in good
condition for fall seeding, which has
been delayed. Early sown wheat and
rye are coming up nicely and with
rain proms Sc 10 attain good stand
before winter sets in. Potatoes in
most localities are yielding bat poor

An Autumn NuptiaIs.

A charming wedding, attended by
all the graces Of such an occasion, was
celebrated last evening at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. T. Follansbee,
when their only daughter, Miss Ella,
was married to Mr.. William E. Web
ster Of Rice Lake,
The ceremony was performed at five
o'clock by Rev. C. II. Mcintosh. a
considerable company of relatives and
friends were in attendance; and what
with the interested faces, the grace
fully gowned women and the happy
blending Of the decorations, the lamp
lit scene made up very pretty pict-
ure as the bride and the groom eX-
changed their marriage vows. They
stood in front of a window arch, out
lined with wreaths of cedar and in
woven with maiden hair fern, at the
top of which a golden monogram
WE occupied the place Of the key
stone. The bride was dressed in
white and carried white roses. Her
four-year-old cousin, Miriam Getchell.
dainty dressed in white, presented
the wedding ring on a white satin
pillow. During the ceremony Miss
Sarah Powell played Shumans Sere-
made from Tromari, and at its con-
clusion Mrs. Knapp sang the solo by
Clayton Johns, Il Cannot Help Low
ing Thee"
Ices, delicious cakes and confection-
cry were served to the guests in the
dining room, where Miss Persis Day
presided, assisted by Misses Kate
Adams, White Preston and Lima
Campbell, all gowned in white.
In the decorations, yellow prevailed
in the dining room, where a floral
horseshoe hung from the ceiling and
yellow flowers ornamented the table
and the mantle shelf. Autumn
leaves gave a crimson tone to the sit
and pink prevailed in the
parlor. Pink roses, carnations and
sweet peas were the flowers here,
while cedar wreaths, hung from the
picture moulding. surrounded the
room, and potted plants were banked
to the right Of the bridal arch.
The bride and groom drove To Hud-
son last evening to take a train for
the Twin Cities. Mr. Webster, who
is a Rochester University man and a
mem Der Of the Psi Epsilon fraternity,
IS in the employ OF the Knapp Stock
Co. at Rice Lake, where the young

The Closing DAYS al The Fair.


The second and third days or the
County Fair were quite as lively as
was expected, and attracted consider
able crowds from town and country.
There was plenty of entertainment
going on and an abundance OF music.
The races of Thursday ana Friday add
ed some special excitement to the
regular events and could be viewed
with real comfort.
The bah game was a right lively eX-
hibition Of good sport, honestly con-
tested. resulting in an emphatic vic
tory for the Falls team by score Of
5 to TO-
Thorson and Lawrence were our
battery and fairly made their OPP
ponen Is dizzy with the speed and ac-
curacy that the ball made on its
journey from the pitcher to the catch
er. Several star plays distinguished
the work Of our boys while in the field,
and brought down an occasional
shower of applause. The game was
watched throughout with the keeneSt
interest by advocates of either side.
1t would be easy, of course, to find
fault with some features of the Fair
and point out flaws in the exhibits
and even the management; but de-
pend upon it. nobody is more conscious
Of these very dement's than the
officials Of the Fair As often as a
thing is done once, it can be done
better a second time: the Fair just
past is a decided improvement over
the Fair of 1896, and the exhibition OF
| 1898 will doubtless be FAR in advance
Of either. 1t was apparent TO the
most superficial observer that the
| crowd was accommodated more easily
and more effectively last Thursday
and Friday than ever before; it was
equally apparent that the presence OF
an unusually large number of cheaI
shows, games Of chance and com mor
fakes, vas a disturbing, not TO say
| degrading elem ent. But the very
fact that these shows were there
that they were heavily subsidized
made possible the mproyements thai
helped TO regulate the crowd and gave
dispatch and ease to the program o
events. The shows are consequent.

Incidental to the County Fair w.
+. Kellogg has an exceptionally inter
esting display Of photographs on eX-
hibition at his gallery. It's hardly
necessary to say that the pictures
were the most distinguished feature
Of the photns aphic display, or for
that matter OF the entire art exhibit
at the Fair. Competition of a much
higher order, indeed would find it
difficult to push such work to the
wall 1t has the special merit Of be-
ing graphically clear. In much of
the modern Photographic work, ac-
curatc Of outline and expression and
in many other ways true to life, there
is certain dmness as of distance,
produced, as a rule, by sort OF ether
cal veil that removes the subject of
the picture beyond the limits Of real
sOciability. The focus in Kellogg's
photos is rarely open to the least crit
icism. In the matter Of detail, too,
he eXcels: aud there are few acces-
series in the way of finishing, mount
ing and arrangement, that he has not
successfully applied to his recent
trade.
