Auditor Tompkins and Deputy
Everett are busily engaged in pre-
pairing the agricultural statementas
sent in by the assessors of the vari-
GUS townships.
A team belonging to Alex. Walk
err of the Agency, ran away last Sat-
urday forenoon. Walker was at the
Northwestern depot, where he left
his son standing and holding the
team while Walker went inside.
The engine snorted and the team
jumped. The boy was forced into
dropping the reins. The team ran
to Washington avenue, then down
the avenue to Second street, and
when in front of THE GAZETTE office
was stopped. The buggy was
turned upside down in the fight,
but was not badly damaged. The
streets were full of teams and peo-
pie at the time but no one was hurt.
The big crowd that was in the
store of Peterson & Graft all day
Saturday was the best evidence
that advertising pays. The crowd
commenced to swarm early, and at
nine o'clock the dry goods depart
ment of the store was jammed with
ladies, and it was almost impossible
to pass up and down in the CORR
doris, while clerks behind the count
ers were busily engaged in measur-
ing cloth. etc. The rush in the
grocery department commenced al
most as early, and the clerks of that
department were on the Jump all
day long. Teams were lined up in
front OF the store all day Note the
new bargains offered by the firm in
another column.

In the game between Olivia and

boys secured control of the collec-
ton, amounting to something over
$40. They appropriated the entire

ing the fact that Redwood, the win
ming club, was to have 60 per cent.
of the gate receipts. An attempt is
being made to recover the 60 per
cent.
DR.. E. L. Halves, the we'll known

evening was over on Thursday the
members sat down to an elaborate
banquet prepared by G. L. Gordon,
and served under the direction of
Tyler Isham, assisted by E. B. Hale
and w. S. Clayson. The lodge has
probably the best record of any
country lodge in the State for the
comforting of degrees, both as to
numbers and as to the accuracy of
the work.

panv consists of Selma E. Carlson,
soprano, Hannah K. Sandell, piano
soloist, Daniel T, Sandell, trombone
and violinist, and Gunner Berggren,
violinist. A special program shows
difficult music, and the strong en-
dorsements of the company by peo-
pie who have been fortunate enough
to hear the members, as individuals
as well as groups, indicate that they
handle the selections in an excellent
manner.
Bert. Champion was quite seri-
ously injured in an accident, hap
pening about nine o'clock on Mon
day morning of last week. He was
driving his team, hauling a load of
water pipe down the hill to the
pumping station. A short piece of
the pipe slid down on to the horses,
frightening them into run, throw
ing Mr.. Champion from the wagon,
in such manner that two wheels
passed over his shoulder and body,
decorating the flesh on the right side
of the face. His team was in the
ditch, one horse on top of the other,
when found, and it was necessary
to cut the harness in order to re-
lease them. Mr.. Champion S wounds
were dressed by DR.. Gibson and he
is now doing we'll.
Shortly after Messrs. Dickinson
and Tyson left for England the
people conducting the household on
Glandale farm ceased their connec-
ton with the same. The sudden
quitting on the part of these people,
and without the knowledge of
Messrs. Dickinson and Tyson prior
to their departure, left the running
of the household to Mrs. Tyson,

city, and took up residence on
Glendale farm, where she has since
superintendent the care of the house,
furnishing board and lodging to
from six to ten men regularly.

be surprised to hear of her work on
their return to this city.

How Far Can Quail Flx,

A number Of sportsmen have been
discussing the question of how far a
quail can fly. There are a good many
contingencies to be considered in arriv-
ing at a definite conclusion Of the cues
ton, the which cuts no inconsiderable
hgure in the distance one of these birds
can fly. II there is a stiff wind blow
ing and the birds course ia with the
wind, a full grown quail could certain
II go more than a mile with ease and
doubtless a much greater distance.
Those who have noticed quail trying
to fly across the Missouri river, where
the distance is about a mile, recall that
not all the birds make the trip safely.
They usually pick a spot where they
can make a halt on a sand bar in mid
stream, and thus cross the river in two
flights. But sometimes they make the
distance at a single fight, and this
seems to be their full limit under nor.
NAL conditions, for when they alight
they are compile y exhausted.
1t is general believed that on an
average a mile is about the limit of the
fight of a quail where it is neither ia
vored mol retarded by the wind. 1t hap
pens very often that in crossing the
river at a single flight quail
drop exhausted into the water. Proba-
bly, these are young birds st. Louis

A Health Giving Plant.

The London Graphic counsels the use
Of verbena as a sedative. The. specially
.healthful and in~vigorating qualities Of
this plant were we'll known to the Ro-
mans, who crushed some of it's leaves
between their palms after the bath and
anointed themselves freely with it. It
is very good for brain workers to inhale
Its perfume, and the old fashioned cot
tage practice Of growing a pot Of YER
bena in the window may have arisen in
the days when balsams and aromatic
plants were cultivated specially for
their virtues as disinfectants and puri-
fiers Of the air. Be that as it may, the
scent of the verbena n generally popu-
lar and is to be recommended to all
weak and nervous people to whom
strong manufactured scents are right
fully an abomination.
