We publish the Financial State
mont Of Marshall county this week,

serve the same for future reference
From the statement it appears that
the county is in good shape finan-
cially.
Congressman Eddy has secured
the establishment of two new post
offices in Marshall county, one in
Marsh Grove, called Ellery, and one
at Thief Lake, called ROLLS. That

Sheriff Green brought down from
Stephen yesterday, and placed in his
famous hostelry, !, man by the name
OF Ole Atrenson, OF Big Woods, who
had been bound over to the grand

- Nels X. Nelson, who has secured
a quarter section OF land on the
reservation near GermantDwn, was
in the city the first of the week and
says the settlers are bridging the
floating bog in that section in a
good, substantial manner, which will
make travel across it good the year

= John J. Flyckt, young carpen-
ter in the city, is interesting himself
in the cause of the suffering and
struggling Cubans, and has started a
subscription list in their behalf,
which list has been left at the Post
Office where contributions will be- re-
ceived, and receipted for, from any
one wishing to aid the cause. When
sufficient number Of interested per
sons will be obtained it is the inten-
ton to organize Cuban American
League. That there must be a great
deal of suffering and distress in a
country 50 alons ravaged .bya cruel war
is certain, and any aid, no matter how
small, that we can extend to these
patriots in alleviating their distress
will surely be appreciated.

!titute Of hair and has very much the
same appearance as the skin OF the
elephant 1t is difficult to tell what
may have caused this strange and
abnormal development Of the animal.
but may it not be owing to the
! changed climatic conditions now ex.
listing in the Red River Valley, which
make the growing OF hair supt'rtiuous
