The Klossner correspondent of the
REVIEW this week tells of poor farmer
in that locality who had his entire crop
| of wheat destroyed by fire, and suggests
that the good people should do some
thing to assist him to make good his
loss. It is a good idea and should be
acted upon.
The new State Bank opened for busi-
ness on the 1st of August, although the
furnishing was not quite complete on
| that day. The interior furnishing IS of
oak handsomely finished, and the win
dows and offices are conveniently ar
ranged so that the bank presents quite a
metropolitan appearance.
A slight change went into effect on
the Chicago s. Northwestern road Sum-
| day. The train going west in the after
i noon arrives at 1 80 now, and the ore
going east arrives at 8 80, instead of the
!. former tine. The change is only few
minutes. A more radical change is con-
/ templated for the near future.
| The Fairfax Standard is voicing Il
I chorus of complaints from citizens of
| that place on the condition of the walks
which have for the past months been
| torn up, waiting for the cement to be
laid., The city should have had the New
! Ulm contractors do the work and it
would long since have been completed.
A. R. Bowling left on Saturday for
Estherville, Iowa in the interest of the
Minnesota Valley College. Hugh Reid,
instructor iG penmanship for the school
will arrive this week. Specimens of his
| work may be seen in the Dakota House
lobby. It is equal to any work ever
produced by pen and recommends Mr..
Reid as an extra fine penman.

A recent issue of the Mankato Review
contains all account of the early trouble
with Grasshoppers and the methods em-
ployed to rid the country of them. A
bounty of ten cents quart was paid and
Geo. Dauber of this city, then young
boy was given the first warrant. In
those days 1t was more profitable to
catch grasshoppers than it is to speculate
| op the board of trade in these days.
Prof. Critchett has finished his work
| at the Morris summer school and is now
in Minneapolis. The Morris Sun in
speaking of the school says that it was
successful in every respect and the in
terest was kept up until the last. M. j.
Bowling who was sent by the United
States to the Philippines couple of
years ago delivered an address before
the teachers, descriptive of that country
