While Mr.. and Mrs Ben b. Nelson
of Glenwood township were quietly
seated at dinner Sunday, the 18th
inst, upwards of a hundred and fifty
of their friends and neighbors stole a
march on them and took possession of
the place. 1t was compleie surprise
and Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson were de-
lighted to find the whole community
so friendly. They brought basket
dinners with them and had fine
time generally, and when they de-
parted they left S34 in cash as q
remembrance of the occasion.

Rudolph Block Fire.

Fire broke out in the Rudolph block
last Wednesday night about 7:30 0o'c clock,
but was speedily extinguished. 1t
started in a lavatory on the second story
back of Attorney F. Sayre's Office, and
but for the prompt work of f. Rudolph
might have been under great headway
before the department arrived. BY
reason of the peculiar location and
character of its origin, incendiarisnI
was suspected by many, as it seemed
impossible that fire could have started
in an unoccupied portion of the ouild-
ing unless set afire. Little damage
beyond the charring of the woodwork
of the room was done.

ESPECIAL interest will attach to a
special article in the campaign num-
ber of McClure's Magazine, entitled
"The Strategy of National Cam
paigns." This article in the October
issue will describe some of the most
striking strategic measures adopted by
presidential campaign leaders during
the past twenty-five years, concerning
which almost nothing has hitherto
been divulged to the public at large.
The author, doubtless because of the
prominent part he has played in the
struggles he describes, prefers to write
anonymously. Mr.. Hambidge's por-
traits illustrating the articles are of
unusual originality and merit.

Some BlO0ded Stock.

John Wingate Il Son, of the WELL
known Hesper Stock Farm, last week
sold two heifer calves (Short Horns)
seven months old, to Mr.. Larsen, of
Waukon, for Sl75. They also shipped
two to Oklahoma, and sold four fine
animals to Mr.. Hendr. ckson, of Nassett.
Their recent sales of calves amount to
eleven head, which have brought them
an average of S75 each.
