John Helten has been on the sick list
with typhoid fever. For some weeks his
case was thought hopeless, but he is now
convalescent again.
Mrs. Young removed her household
effects to Langdon this week, where the
condition OF her health makes it neces-
sary for her TO reside this winter.
Janzsn & Son are doing considerable
| work with their horse power threshing
machine. The hum OF which has been
heard considerable in this locality OF
late.
There was whole wagon load of new
furniture hauled out to the home OF Mr..
Vorliek last week, and it is evident that
they are fixing things up quite coy for
the winter.
Joe Wingler. who came up from Weber
to thresh is this week finishing his last
job. Matters at home that Joe has OF
. late had to neglect will now receive
more attention.
A young bachelor that seems to have
more business at Trisr post Office than

gay as ever. He is getting ready to
thresh his crop of fax, and says that
after it is sold he will be stepping as
high as the best OF them.
Paul Jan owski has about completed
the work on his new house, and there is
every reason to believe that the time is
not far off when we will all enjoy a
; smoke on Paul, as he isn't building that
new house for nothing.
There was what may very properly
be termed grand ball given last week
at the home OF Dominic Schiller. Among
those present were Misses Lily and
Maud Young and Annie Vorllck. The
gentlemen were Messrs. Benz. Janowski
George Young and Wenzel Worlick, and
several other couples OF whom we did
not hear the names. The closing chapter
of the occasion is passed over by those
present with as little mention as pos
sible, some OF the party not having
reached their homes at the hour of ten
O'Clock the next morning. Nearly all OF
those participating say that to them it
will be u long remembered event.

Everything. except the weather has
warmed up for Easter week. Such a
round OF festivities, including balls, re-
