kendallyille Mill.

The Kendallville Mil is being thor
oughly overhauled and repaired for
the future needs OF the public and the
profit OF it's proprietor, Mr.. VIM. Reu-
ter. For the past month Or two Wal
ter Kendall hns been at work over
hauling its various parts and improv-
ing their working condition. The
Mill was constructed for a seventy
five barrel mill, but being on a twen-
ty-tive barrel stream in it's con-
struction the effort has been made to
makeait only of the capacity of the
stream. The wheat cleaning machin-
cry has been removed from the first to
the second floor. The reels have been
reduced from Is feet to 10. The grind
ing process will consist OF three
breaks, third being finished on a bran
duster, the first and second for midd-
lings, finished on smooth rolls for
dressing reel. Mr.. Reuter- will put in
rye and buckwheat finish so as to be
ready for reducing the coming crop to
flour. The feed department will put
in the -four mill proper and will be
ground on French Buhrs. Mr.. Renter
learned his trade in Milwaukee under
the tuition of Mr.. Abe Privat which is
an assurance that he learned his pro-
fession if he had the ordinary aptitude
of his countrymen.

In Durance Vile.

For conduct vile and abominable
Albert Dalter is in custody of the
Sheriff and beyond the reach of dogs
and horsewhips in the hands of
honest men. fearless IN the right.
For days he has been meeting and
insulting women and girls on the
streets, Insulting and pursuing then
with indecent proposals. OF these
the victims for some days said
nothing each supposlng that she
alone had been insulted and not wish
ing her name mentioned in con-
nection with the vile wretch. Be-
coming bolder in his infamous work
he pursued his fleeing victims, and is
finally arrested and is serving out a
sentence in the county bastile. The
excuse offered for his offenses is, that
he was intoxicated, which is no
excuse, because such man would
become intoxicated to work up his
courage to the point of perpetrating
crime. When released from Jail he
should be waited upon by the fathers,
husbands and brothers of those
whom he has insulted and under
penalty of such cowhiding as his
attempted crimes merit be given but
q few brief moments to remain in the
city. We understand he has been
driven from other places for like
offenses, aud should be driven off the
earth.

The Turkish Winter Wheat.

Mr.. Joseph Kapler has a quantity of
the above named winter wheat grow
ing on his farm near Cresco. It Is a
bearded grain, a vigorous grower,
with stiff stalk not liable to lodge and
natures before the chinch bugs can get
in their work. 1t is said TO be per-
fectly adapted to our prairie soil, and
will endure our winters though unpro-
tected by covering of snow. The
seed Mr.. Kapler obtained from the
Kickapoo Indians on their reservation
in Wisconsin, and was informed by
them that they had cultivated it many
years and never had had failure.
His present crop will be about thirty
bushels as it now promises, all Of
which will be sown by himself on his
farm for the double purpose of testing
its hardness and its productiveness
and If it sustains the test, will put it
on the market after the next years
harvest for the benefit OF his neigh.
bors and the general public.

What is the Contract2

1t is announced that an election will
be held on the question of granting a
franchise for furnishing the city with
electric lights, will be submitted to
the people ere long. That the people
may vote understandingly. the city
council should publish in full the con-
tract or ordinance by which 1t propo-
ses to invest Mr.. Wilder with the du-
ty OF lighting the city. and in what
parts of the city the lights are to be
distributed. Under the present sys-
tenn there are 73 street lamps, the
lighting of which costs the city $500
the oil for the year ending with March
last for the use in the street lamps, at
the water works in the council room
and in front of the fire department
building cost the city $90.5O, making
total of $500 for the
year. As we are at present advised
the city is to pay Mr.. Wilder $3.50
year for given number of lights, and
If more lights are required then the
cost will be increased. This con-
tract is for twenty but may be read
justed at the end of ten years, at
which time, without any increase in
the number of lights the city will have
paid the sum of $1,000, and If contin..
ued for twenty years the cost will be
$4,000, and if the lights are to be in
creased in number, the cost will be
correspondingly increased.

party had been an old sea-faring man
and he said it was the first flying fish
he had ever seen in fresh water, but
had often seen them on the ocean. It
is barely possible that the bait used
by the party might have caused an
optical illusion.

Miss Elsie Steiuman returned home
from the State Normal at Cedar. Falls
last Thursday. She completed the
full course of three years in two years
and graduated with distinguished
credit and is entitled to a state cer-

For the dedication of the Iowa State
building at the Omaha exposition
which occurs Thursday June %, the
railroads of the state have given
special low rates which ought to se-
cure large representation from all
parts of the state.
Mrs. James Walton brought us a
quantity of the Mammoth Twin straw
berries, a very fine, large and delic-
ious variety, every one growing
double, either half being much larger
than the average strawberry. She
has plants for sale.
Farmers from all over the county
are unanimous in the opinion that
they never saw crops of all kinds so
uniformly good. Corn, our principal
cultivated crop is fully up to its
growth of former years, but the stand
was never better, the result OF good
seed and conditions after planting.
Hay. another of our important crops
will give a large yield and of fine
quality, with suitable weather for cur
ing. Oats owing to ihe frequency of
OF the showers and warm weather fol-
lowing, are getting an immense
growth and are liable to go down in
which event they will not produce
heavily. Wheat looks well and the
acreage is more than in any of the
past twenty five years. Fruit OF all
kinds promises the best and largest
we have seen in our forty years and
more in Iowa. Small fruits of all
kinds are bountiful and cheap and
apples will be abundant with those
who planted trees in time.
The people OF Cresco and their COM
mittee have made arrangements for
great day on the 4th of July. In the
morning hour Hon. j. III. McConlogue
of Mason city will deliver the oration.
He is an able and effective speaker
and vi l,give without doubt an old fash
ioned patriotic address suited to the
memories of the day, and occasion,
and free from partisan politics. Tho
afternoon will be given on the Fair
grounds where may be seen a long
line of the fastest horses of the west.
The driving park association has Sc
cured M. T.. Grattan of Preston as
''starter" and a dozen or so of the
most spirited races ever witnessed on
the Cresco track will be witnessed.
The evening will be given to merri-
ment and dancing and that all may
share in the sport bowery will be
made 100 feet in length and of propor-
tionate width, good hand employed
and all who desire can join in the
pleasant hours Of the cotillion without
cost. The bowery will be on the pub
lie square on market street south Of
Hon. D. A. Lyons large implement
