The band boys are seriously con.

The band boys are seriously con-
sidering the proposition of engaging
Prof. Tonolli for the winter months,
in which case he will remove his
family to this place, thereby adding
three members to the band. The
Professor has an offer from Albert Lea
and the boys must speak quick or let
the band go down, and this they do
not propose to do, although it means
an outlay of $500 in the next six
months aside from the cost OF the
new instruments which must be had,
two of which, fine Conns, are now on
the way. The band has elected Robt.
Thomson and Editor Adams as citizen
members of their Board Of Directors
and no doubt these gentlemen will
plan way for the town to help detray
the expense the boys intend to assume.

A KIondiker Returned.

August Wolf who was the first man
to leave Elma for the Alaskan gold
fields last spring has returned.
He went to Seattle via the Canadian
Pacific R. r. but when he saw the
mad throngs who were rushing reck-
lessly for the Alaskan shore and saw
many returning discouraged he de-
cided not to risk the journey but
sought employment in the vicinity.
He was soon employed as fireman on
a log train In the lumber regions of
Washington and received good wages.
August says he likes the country out
there and any one wanting to hunt
gold can find abundant opportunity to
do so there without going to the
Artic regions. He has not quite de-
cided whether TO remain here or
return.-Elma News-Register.

The many friends of John Vessel,
OF Paris twp, will be grieved to learn
that there is no improvement in his
condition. 80. Christian Hesse's father
died quite suddenly last week while
visiting relatives at Glidden, Iowa,
We did not learn any further particu
lars. "...Hon. ID. A. Lyons and wife,
F. A. Glass and son and Thos. Fits-
gerald came over from Cresco to at
tend the funeral of Richard Fitzgerald
Monday.-Elma News-Register.
In our last issue we published set
of resolutions passed by the members
of the company to which Carl Bundrick
belonged. and contrary to the usual
way, the name OF the deceased was
omitted in the body of the resolutions
and as most of our list was printed
before the omission was discovered,
there was nothing to show who was
the subject, but no doubt all of our
readers in this viciLity knew of the
one in whose memory they were
written. A letter to Mrs. Bundrick
stated that he was sick only about a
week and up to the Saturday before
his death was doing light guard duty,
but on Saturday went to the hospital.
The camp was moved on Sunday and
Monday morning he died.
A decided goldbug victory was won
in Preston last week in the explosion
of the Fillmore County Bank with a
loss of over $4,000 deposited for safe
keeping. The officers of the institu-
tion had the nightmare whenever any
one talked about the creation of what
they falsely termed 50-cent dollars.
Among the thefts of its officers was
$500 deposited by an old lady alone in
the world; $1,000 by school teacher
who had saved it to enter school in
September; $12, 900 school funds; $50,
the proceeds of a band carnival de-
posted after banking hours the even
ing before the bank closed; the money
the Presbyterians had raised to pur-
chase bell to cali sinners to repent.

"While most Of ths members of'our

the heaviest, for we must give our sons

help repair ravages and losses, and
mitigate the suffering which such a
terrible event must inevitably bring in
its train. Therefore, we have the best
right to express our opinion. We

understood to be the provinces of Ma
tanzas, Santa Clara, Havana and Pinar
del Rio; that the Spanish government
has placed at the disposal of the gov
ernment general credit of 5000, 900
pesetas $500, ,000) to the end that the
country people may return at once and
with success to their labors. The Span
ish government will accept whatever as
sistance to feed and succor the neces-
sitous that may be sent from the United
States in accordance with the plan now
In operation. 1t Is proposed to confide
the preparation for an honorable and
stable peace to the insular parliament,

government would not be able to arrive

Senators who know the nature Of the
reply say 1t Is shrewd piece of diplo-

that after Monday congress is likely to
take matters into Its own hands and the
fear Is expressed that there will be dis
agreement between the branches of gov
ernment, which would be unfortunate at
