Carnival week drew to close Sat
urday night. The weather. threaten
ing all day, was but little better in the
evening, but in spite of this there were
large crowds on the streets and hun

township, was taken to Iowa City Tues
day afternoon of last week to be treated

Parkersburg.
Quite a lot of stock was shipped
! from Parkersburg last week. Hogs are
bringing the highest prices in many
years, and every farmer who can is
getting rid of his pork and selling his
old corn, which is bringing good prices.
Still higher prices are predicted for
hogs In August and a couple of local
parties made a bet the other day that
they would bring sS42 or better during
that month. This shows the prevailing
sentiment among men who keep tab on
market conditions, says the Elipse.

with man of Col Abernethy's sterling
character At the age of &c years he re-

northern Minnesota to work and one
day while engaged in telling n tree he
