ports the sale of a bunch of cattle
at $7.75 per cwt. The cattle were
sold at the Twin City stockyards.

After the epublican county con-
vention had adjourned last Tuesday
the delegates were invited to boat
ride on the lake. The Simplex be-
haved badly in the weeds coming
up, after it got up couple OF miles,
the result Of which was that the
boat loaded.with delegates, had to
be towed down from the park by
the Alice, which was also loaded
down with delegates. A number of
the delegates missed the train, as a
result.
A heavy rain passed over this
section on Thursday night of last
week, the precipitation amounting
to three inches on the level accord
ing to S. J. Races water gauge in
this city. The storm seems to have
been accompanied by some hail in

Peter Nelson of Shutdown coming
in Wednesday morning and report
ing that his farm crop was badly
cut by hail stones that fell during
the night.
Train No. 16 on the Minneapolis

on different schedule than former
ly. The train leaves Minneapolis
half an hour later, arriving at Red
wood at 1913. This gives people
haff an hour longer in St. Paul and
Minneapolis, and the train also
makes a connection with No. l, the
north bound train, at Hopkins. The
morning train east runs on the same
schedule as heretofore.
Messrs. Hicks, Gale, Weber OF
Gales township. John Ahrends and
VIM. Benz of Waterbury, and other
delegates to the Republican county
vention, coming from the center
of the county, reported drouth
through that territory, the result OF
which was that grain was looking
badly. The storm Of last Tuesday
night should have passed over that
section, however. and relieved the
drouth and probably saved por-
ton of the crop. The storm seems
to have been quite general.

more money for travelling and other
