One of the 50-cent dollars he dropped

After the larger portion of the
Premium List had been printed, the
ladies of the Floral Hall department
brought in a list of additions and
alterations requisite to bring the
list little more up to date. You will
find it on page 10S, in the back of the
pamphlet.
j. G. Webster took the Saturday
evening train for Chicago to see his
brother, the doctor, who is seriously
ill. The trouble originated in inllam-
matory rheumatism, which first being
in his leg has now attacked the mem
brane covering the brain, thereby af-
fecting his mind.
DR.. Keith left here Monday after
noon for his home at Belleville, Ohio,
taking with him for treatment, a
patient from near Spillville. In a
short time he will return and take
with him tor treatment, Mrs. Geo.
Reeves, who for seven years has been
unable to walk or stand.
Mrs. Doctor Everingham, of
Chicago, goes to Lawler this week
to visit the family of her husband.
She has been visiting for few days
with the family OF b. d. Everingham.
In Chicago she has the position Of
instructor on the either in one of the
City's halls of musical instruction.
A. j. Eddy, who is in California,
sends us the San Francisco Call and
the San Jose Mercury from which we
leara the United States have sent
regulars under Captain Ray to turn
the people back who are rushing over
the Chilcoot pass. The military post
to guard the pass will be at Circle
City.
f. G. Woellstein & Co., are receiv-
ing their stock of groceries and gener-
al merchandise and will open some
time this week; as soon as their stock
can be put on the shelves and proper
ly marked. They will be located of
course in the building lately occupied
by John Byrnes which is owned by
Mr.. Woellstein.
A correspondent writes: ssJulius
Peterson, Jasper. Mimi, places hard
dollar with me for the PEE DEE, which
| will surrender the first time l am in
town. Start him with this issue.n
The dollar has been surrendered, and
though branded a fifty cent dollar it
was readily taken in exchange for
groceries at 100 cents.
On the county line road in Howard
township, we found Mr.. Clarkin, one
of our old PLAIN DEALER readers,
whose Post Office during the early
days OF the paper, was at Jacksonville,
a place now wiped off the map of
Chickasaw county. A pleasant chat
revived many memories of the days
OF civil strife in our country.
The first, and we think only 100
yards of linen cloth ever woven in
Howard county, was by the wife of
the editor of the PLAIN DEALER, in
1858, from yarn she had spun in the
state of New York. The loom upon
which it was woven was loaned by
Mrs. Deacon Arms, of Winneshiek
county. If anybody can mention any
cloth woven in this county at an
earlier date, tell us by whom and
where.
Tracy Il. Bangs, the attorney for
Normand, it is said, roasted the
newspapers which have criticised the
verdict of the jury in that case. The
occasion was in asking a change of
venue on the ground that fair trial
could not be had in Grand Forks
county. The only trial he should
ever have had, the father and
husband of the outraged wife should
have been given him at the muzzle of
a shot gun loaded with buck shot.
There is no more need of preserving
the life of such a wretch than in thai
of a mad dog. The one as speedily
as the other should be exterminated
from the earth. A fair trial! Indeed
Tracy!
