The Older students III on. school
are digging into the work, tooth and
toenail, preparing for the state Ugh
school examinations, which will be
held Jan. 31st, and Feb. 1st. Our
school was render the apprehension
that the examinations were to be held
in May, hence the great rush at pres
ent. - g..
Two births occurred in the rooms
over the DeBoos store lwithin 6
hours Of each other. Date Sunday
night the 18th was born to P.
Christianson q daughter, and early
Tuesday morning, the 18th to Mr.:
Madison bouncing boy baby. Ver-
rily our population DO increase. At
this rate we can soon give our larger
sister fight for the county Capital
It is alleged that number of cred
itors of the late firm of Ryan and
Ramage, who were notified to come
to the Bank of Bigelow lost Monday
to settle their accounts; came armed
with receipt in full of all accounts to
date. This seemed to surprise the
representative of Mr.. Ramage who
supposed the partier had open &C.
count. Some mystery about this.
A long suffering and public weary
public will be glad, very glad, when
this "cruel war of wind," about the
letting of tho county printing is over.
It cuts very little figure with the av-
erage taxpayer by whom the work is
done, 20 it is we'll done and the aver
age subscriber don't care to pay for
the crowings and squealngs of rival
printers.
It is asserted there is a "tiger's
lair" in Bigelow not many blocks
distant from tho Methodist Church.
If such is the case the facts will not
be long in coming to tho surface;
then look out for raid. The offend
ers against the law should be pun
ished severely.
j. D. Pellit's old foe, sciatic rheu.
matism, seems to have firm grip up

was summoned. He rested come
what easier for couple days, another
attack coming on Monday, the doc
tor was again called. Mr.. Petit is
having his share of misfortunes.
A case of shocking brutality is re-
ported from Ransom township. A
German whose wife is an inmate of
of the asylum at St. Peter is accused
of maltreating his 2 year old baby
son, by beating Its little body into
q lacerated condition with a pole
strap Of buggy 90 that it's clothing
stuck to the wounds, also threading
to throw it out doors to freeze. It is
reported that a Mrs. johnson, at
whose house the father and child
was staying abused the child; that
the child soiled it's bed and the John
son woman compelled tho infant TO
eat it's own filth warrant for the arrest
of the father and the Johnsons have
been issued and should the charges
be proved against them, penalty
too severe could scarcely be melted out
The state has wisely taken charge OF
the child and placed it in the Home
for Orphans.
