An infant o;rl. fnnr ar Ave month,

An infant girl, four OF five months
Of age, Of 3. r. johnson on section
20 Of Indian Lake died very sudden
y Saturday night. The child woke
up about eleven o'clock and nursed,
and went to sleep again. When the
parents awoke at sunrise they found
the child dead and cold. There was
a blue mark on one side of the head
and down the body, which is suppos-
ed to have been caused by paralysis.
The remains were inferred Monday
forenoon, funeral service being held
at the Swedish Baptist church.
The bereaved family have the sym
pathy of their many friends in that
and this vicinity. Mr.. johnson was
at one time a clerk in r. F.. Bakers's
clothing store in this place. E
j. E. Leslie captured two wild ami
mails on his farm in Mound township
last week which he is unable to
name. They are perfectly white,
have the appearance of white rats
about the body and size, but their
noses and faces indicate some other
species besides the rat. The animals
have the pink eyes SO commonly
found among albinos and in many
respects are different from other TO-
dunts found in this section. By &C.
cident one of the pair caught was
killed, but Mr.. Leslie has the other
safely Gagged and it is the object OF
considerable curiosity among the
neighbors in that section.-Luverne

If man had a $50 bull pup he
would look after it>carefully and. not
let it run around nights all around
the town, says a level headed ex-
change, but if he has a boy it is diff
terent He is turned loose at a ten
der age to go to the devil, and then
people wonder where the great army
of tramps, buns, dead beats, Ioafers,
gamblers and sots come from each
decade. They are terminated from
the pure seed, gathered from our
homes and sown broadcast upon our
streets and alleys. It may be that
your boy is making a growth in that
direction. At all events the bow
ought to be given an equal show with
the bull pup.

The storm of Monday afternoon
was in the nature of a cyclone in the
northern part of this county, and did
a great deal of damage to growing
crops. It started two miles northeast
of St. Kilian, and extended two or
three miles into Murray county, IN
some places hail falling, and in 9TH
ers the wind alone doing the dam
age. The new barn of George Hoff-
man was completely demolished, and
the house and barn of Hans Carson
we're destroyed. Hoffman's hired
man who was working about the
place with team saw the storm COM
ing and hurried to the shelter of a
shed. The shed was picked up by
the wind and lifted several yards, |
over the team, without as much as
scratching them, and spike was in
some manner driven through the
hand of the man, going in at the
palm and sticking out of the back of
the hand. Some thirty or forty far
