remarkable resemblance to General Gros-

venor probably Is not the prize beauty he
conce.res himself to be. Colonel Man
ming has cheerful habit of seldom dis

General Grosvenor. Colonel Manning also
has the cheerful habit Of fitting about
the country in all seasons and enliven-
ing his fellowmen with all sorts CT politi-
cal talk and predictions. 1t may be. therc-

A Clean Magazine Pays.

The large circulation of the Ladies

has demonstrated that popular peri
odical can adhere to clean, whole

port of a large part of the American

The sensational and suggestive in lit

THE NEW REVIEW OFFICE.
A Very Complete and Hand
some structure.

Since the fire of last May
which destroyed the Re-
view Office with other build
ings, that paper has been
printed on the HERALD ADVANCE
press until last week, when Mr..
Volkmar got moved from his
temporary quarters over Wood
Bros. hardware store to his fine
new building on the corner of
Main street and Fifth avenue.
Mr. Volkmar has spared no ex-
pense in making his building a
most complete and convenient
printing office. A large base
ment, the full size of the building,
25xSO feet, provides the press
room, which has been cemented
on floor and walls, to save the
room from any possibility Of be.
coming damp. Here the engine
and presses are placed, while
above are the offices, business
and editorial, composing and
and stock rooms. The composing
room is well lighted AN impor-
tant feature in the workshop of
printing otfice-with south and
west windows, and arranged in
every way for economical work.
The business Office at the main
entrance, which is on the south
east corner of the building and
private editorial Office are parti-
toned off with Opaque and plain
glass on all the upper parts of
the partition, while the wood
work of prettily grained yellow
pine, and the nicely turned rail
ings aud high ceilings give the
whole interior a handsome APP
pearance The exterior of the
building is no less inviting, the
walls being of Chaska brick and
facings of pressed brick, and
from the southeast presents a
striking and pretty appearance.
We congratulate our neighbor
and competitor on the very com
plete appointments Of his new
Office home, as it is one of the in
est, If not the finest printing of
flee building in the state. The
building is not only one in which
Mr.. Volkmar may feel a pardon
able pride, but it is credit to
the architectural structures of
our city Of Milbank.

Those who had the pleasure of
attending the Big Stone Chautau

Wesleyan Quartet Of male voices,
and the charming manner in
which they entertained the

An yew settle back an cross yer lege an heas'

An yer soul goes chasin rainbows in til land o

The fear that an epidemic of
scarlet fever was about to prevail
has been largely dissipated in
the last week, as no new cases
are reported, and the places
where the disease has shown
itself are closely quarantined.
The quaran tine has been raised
on the Won Valid and Fossum
homes, where the sick ones have
recovered and the only places
now having the disease are the
homes of the Roggen bruck, Will
son and Reynen families, and we
understand the patients in these
places are doing well and likely
to recover. The disease is quite
prevalent in the country dis
trict just east OF Corona. but we
understand effective measures
are being adopted in that locality
TO prevent it's spread, and with
proper precautions and care it is
not likely the infection will he
extended. La another column
will be found a communication
from DR.. Daniels in regard to
disinfecting, which it will be well
for all interested to peruse and
adopt as means of prevention.

Early Closing.

An early closing agreement
has been signed by all the mer-
chants of Milbank, whereby the
stores will be closed at $50 each
evening, except on Saturdays.
The new arrangement will go in
to effect January 1st, and it is
hoped that the citizens generally
will aid the merchants aud clerks
in th' movement ny making
their purchases during the day.
The movement; is one Of Justice
to the clerks, who should be en-
titled TO the evening hours for
home, lodge or other enjoyments,
which under the present system
they are unable to have. There
should indeed be no opposition
to the movement, as it should
prove source of economy to the
proprietors and will prove en-
tirely satisfactory to the public
if a reasona ole effort is made to
adapt themselves to the change
in making purchases.

inquired whether the man wore white alpine hat and received an affirmative reply The significance of this line of questioning is found in the fact that MT. Weeks in his cross examination of Har- ry Cornish asked that witness whether he wore white alpine hat in 1898.
 MT Weeks drew from the witness the admission that he had said that the man who hired the letter box was of the size and general appearance of Harry Cornish, except for difference in the moustache. MT. Weeks endeavored to Adiscredit the witness by showing that he had received money from certain news papers. Koch said that the money for one newspaper story was not to be paid until after he had testified at the trial. Mr. Weeks inquired whether the wit ness had ever had anything to do with sending a letter to General Molineux saying that for certain prices facts could be suppressed. This the witness emphatically denied MT. Weeks then produced a typewritten letter contain ing statements of this nature, but MT. Koch said that he had never seen it.
