I: Fred. Homer and Hon. C. D. Gil
fillan met in Morton by appointment
last Friday morning, and rough
draft OF the proposed monument to
the friendly Indians during the
war, to be erected near the Birch
Couliee monument, was made, and
sent to the adjutant general for ap-
proval. AS soon as the latter re-
turns the draft to Mr.. Gilfllan the
latter will probably award the con-
tract for erecting the monument to
Messrs. Homer & Hoskins. The
same will have to be erected this

i The Pioneer Press of last Wednes-
day stated that a meeting of repre-
sentatives of the congregation of the
| First Presbyterian church, of which
Rev. John Sinclair, formerly of
this city. is pastor, was held
the evening prior for the pur-
pose of paying off the church debt,
amounting to principal of s., 900
with accrued interest amounting to
another $1,000. 1t is expected to
have the debt wiped out by Novem-
Der 29th, the 5Oth anniversary of the
existence of the church in St. Paul,
on which occasion the members will
have a jubilee.
i 1t is certain that nothing will be
done towards the erection of the
proposed Hitchcock block on the
corner of Second and Washington
streets until this fall, and then prob
ably nothing more than the removal
OF the old building and the excava-
ton for the cellar. This action is
taken by Mr.. Hitchcock on account
of the several contractors submit
ting bids being from 50, 900 to 81, 900
above the estimate of the architect,
| Mr.. Stevens, who still insists that
the building can be erected for the
price he gave, and that St. Paul
contractor will be willing to take at
the estimate as soon as he COM
! pletes several contracts which he
now has for buildings in St. Paul
| A spicy story is told on once
fairly we'll known citizen of Red
wood Falls. He was running a dice
game in the "tiger's' lair at Nor
ton last Thursday, in conjunction
with another party, and in order to
get the game started it was neces-
sary to have a "capper. A half
caste from this city was given 500
for Tapping purposes, but as
soon as the game was started the
half caste disappeared, and the
company was out $50. The half
caste was seen on the grounds later,
but he refused to give down on the
$50, and the owners of the game had
no way of getting the money back,
one deal being as fair as the other
A little later one of the owners was
seen acting as ''capper, and the
dice were rolling out in a fairly
profitable manner.
The question of creamery sewer
age is difficult one for about every
creamery in the county to solve
The creamery in this city is having
more or less trouble in caring for
sewerage, and as result a south
wind sends the odor into a portion
of the residence district of the city.
The creamery managers have been
trying to solve the problem of a pre-
ventive, and expect to have the So
luton complete in a short time.
Out in Shutdown, where one of the
biggest creameries in the State is
located, it is believed that a couple
