Our plate house has gone to sleep.
the resolutions in the two houses of
congress on the Cuban situation and
the stormy interview between Fitzhugh
Lee and the President on the sug-
gestion of the latter that Lee who has
been living witness of Spanish attro-
cities shall be as unmoved and un-
concerned as his excellency.
The advent of spring has revived
the demand among owners and renters
of high priced farms for cheaper lands.

more attention, or offers greater in

ia. The Northern Pacific Railway
Company is Offering hundreds of
thousands of acres at low prices and

The Bazaar given by the ladies of
the Episcopal church last Tuesday
evening netted them about 500, the
gross receipts being about $50. The
very bad weather reduced the receipts
materially, only about half the number
that generally patronizes them being
present. The program of the evening
was carried out as published with the
exception of two numbers and they
were very acceptably filed by substi-
tutes, and every performer did their
part in a manner worthy of much
credit. Especially pleasing was the
tambourine drill by the little girls,
closing with very effective tableau.
In the contest for the most popular
young lady, Miss Mamie Lyons was
the victor by large majority, and
carried off the beautiful silk quilt,
which was presented to her with a
1 few kind wishes by Robt. Thomson.
The case of Elwood against o Brien,
appealed to the Supreme court, has
been affirmed. This was case where
O'Brien contested the sale of farm
which contract he sought to avoid on
the plea OF insanity when the contract
was made, the court below giving a
verdict in favor OF Elwood, which is
affirmed by the supreme court. The
case of Conley VS.. Dugan has been
affirmed by the Supreme court. This
was case where action was brought
on promissory note, the notice of
suit setting forth that the petition
would he filed date fixed but was
filed three days later. The court held
that failure to file petition on the time
stated dismissed the suit Plaintiff
claimed that the petition was delayed
in the mails between Elma and Cresco,
and sought to re-instate the case on
this ground which was also overruled
by the court which is sustained by the
Supreme court which ends the case as
the statute of limitations had rur
against the note. HI. L. Reed scored
victory in each for his clients.
