MT. PLEASANT-Rev Thomas by
all, of this city, has been appointed
chaplain for the insane hospital here by
the state board of control for state in
situtions. This is a new idea, as this
work had always been done quite salts
factorily heretofore by the local pastors

good man for the place and Will no
doubt give splendid satisfaction.
IDA GROVE-Corn husking has be-
gun in Ida county, but as yet the Pion-
Ger has heard no complaint about the
yield. The grain looks sound, and we
believe the average yield Will be har-
vested. A larger per cent of the corr
was cut and shocked this season than
usual, most splendid feature 6f the
farming. The average yield of corn in
Ida county is about forty bushel to the
acre.

short. He deposited the cash under his
pillow when he retired, after o'clock

money was gone. Mr. NJ. is positive the
thief used chloroform, as members of
the family We're sick the next day and
they think it came from the effects of
this drug The robbery was rather a
daring Undertaking. to say the least.
OCHEYEDAN.--Th afternoon
S. A. Wilson and c. w Keith bagged
five white pelicans and fifteen ducks

brought home alive, being only slightly
wounded. This is quite Il haul, consid-
ering the scarcity of the pelican in this
section. Ocheyedan sportsmen re-
port the best duck shooting on Rush
Lake that has ever been known st this
season of the year. 1t IS nothing un-
usual to see them Flooding home With
