Fred Baier, of Greeley, brought
to town, last Monday, and sold to
Hensley Brothers thirty-five head
of hogs at $40 per hundred which

pounds each.
Frank Hensley returned last Mon
day from his trip up in King Ed
wards domains, near Winnipeg,
Manitoba and, concluding that that
was pretty good country, made a
small investment.
Mrs. William Bintner, who was so
ill at their farm home, south of the
city, few days ago, has been re-
moved to the Extra residence and
the progress toward health is very
gratifying to her relatives and
many friends.
Mrs. Sarah Pearl, of Elk River,
Minnesota, who is being entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. I. p. Hallock of
Oakfeld, was in attendance last Sun
day at the services OF the First
Church Science, in this city, and
was welcomed and entertained by
the Science readers of the church, ].
G. Gates and Mrs. Gates at their
home, in the east part of town.
On last Thanksgiving evening
the parishioners of Rev. w. w.
Hartsough, to the number of one
hundred and fifty, wendell their
way to the Congregational parson-
age bent on surprise to Mr.. and
Mrs. Hartsough and never was
surprise more complete, and in or
der to make it remembered longer
and to show this worthy couple
their good will, not by words alone
but by acts, each one on entering
deposited on the large table pack
age of ONE useful article until the
table almost literally groaned un-
der it's load of articles useful in a
household. One of the speakers,
representing the great crowd, then
informed the brother that they
thought that it was about time he
needed pounding" and this was
the manner they thought it could
be the most satisfactorily perform
ed. The brother undertook to reply
but was completely overwhelmed
and could say nothing. Such gath
erings are productive of much good
in strengthening the relations be-
tween pastor and parish1eners and
should be oftener INDUCED in.
Died, at the home of her parents,
on north Park street, in this city, on
November 80, 1901, after a lingering
illness of fifty-one days, Minnie, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton
Backer, aged sixteen years. It has
been but few weeks since these
now doubly bereaved parents were
called upon to part with one of their
children from the same disease,
typhoid fever, and now this double
calamity comes with fearful force
to the stricken parents. But Christ
said: Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom of heaven"
These comforting words convey the
blessed assurance that this, their
beloved daughter, dying as she had
lived. in the faith of a blessed i'm
mortality, is today rejoicing among
the angels in That heavenly man
sion, that house not made with
hands," where she awaits their glad
reunion. Minnie was bright and
loving girl, just budding into
young womanhood, a tavorite
among her young associates and
loved by all. The funeral services
were conducted by her pastor, the
Rev. Father Failenschnid, from
Saint Boniface church who, in we'll
chosen words, described the char
acter of the deceased and depicted
in eloquent terms the home to
which she was borne on angel
wings and accompanied by heaven
ly anthems of rejoicing. The re-
mains were then conveyed to the
Catholic Cemetery, east of town,
and there laid to rest beside her lit
tie brother, who lately preceded
her, there to await the resurrection
morn. God gave; He took; He will
restore; He doeth all things we'll.
