The University Extension Center
will meet in the parlor of the Francois
hotel on Friday evening to complete
it's organization. As several have ex-

meeting, at which it will be decided
whether the course in history or that
in literature be taken up. All who are
interested in either conrse are invited
to be present.
Threshing in Redwood county does
not seem to be advanced any more
than Is per cent, judging from ride
through the western section of the
county. Here and there a field has
been threshed out, butlthe straw piles
are scarce. Threshing machines are
kept busy all the time, and as a
thresher remarked, they don't seem to
make much of a hole in the big string
Of stacks in Redwood county. Many
farmers fear that the threshing of the
1898 crop will be far from finished this
year.
A New Ulm special of Sept. 18th,
says that burglars entered the post
Office last night, taking about $3.50 in
postage stamps and $174.93 cash.
They entered by the rear window,
prying it up with pick, after which
they broke the lock leading into the
Office proper. A hole was drilled
about half an inch deep into the safe,
but the work evidently proved too
slow, 80 they knocked off the combi-
nation with an eight-pound sledge,
and broke open the money box on the
inside. The authorities are now hard
at work trying to secure clew. The
cash drawer, $1,000, with several small
things were found near the railroad
track. 1t seems that at about 3 o'clock
a man decoyed the policeman on
whose beat the postoffice is, and led
him as we'll as the officers on the next
beat to the further end of the city.
While the officers were away it seems
the Burglary was committed by the
mans oornrodoo
