TIE Humboldt Herald says the body

the river last week, was found under
the ice about 20 feet below where he
fell in, floating face downward, his
hair frozen to the ice. He was 90
years of ago and leaves wife and
two daughters.
The ladies of the Christian church
gave trades display social last

Fred Heimkes house burned in
Humboldt. He lived there alone,

Moran Herald: A great deal of
sport was had this week at the expense
of several who did not believe
guinea pigs eyes would fall out if it
was held up by the tail. Those who
did not believe it could not be con-
vinced by words andas there are some
guinea pigs in town they we're induced
to try it. The parties went to where
the guinea pigs were and were quite
surprised to learn that guinea pig
did not sport such an ornament as a
tail, and, therefore, its eyes would
drop out because it didn't have any
tail to hold up by. See
The Gas City Gaslight says the city

is probable the attendance will be
largely increased by tomorrow.
After brief formalities connected
with the opening the conven-

delegates is that this convention
will be the most important IN the
history of the organization. 1t is

that the question Of reorganizing
several non-union mills will be
thoroughly discussed at the con-
veution. The reports Of the dis
trict presidents show that there
has been some falling off in mem-
bership in the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania fields as a result of the
strike of last year, but this has
been more than offset by the
gains made in Indiana, southern
Illinois and other sections. 1t
seems to be the opinion of a large
majority of the delegates that the
present wage scale should not be
disturbed, so that little diff Guilty
is expected in reachiug an agree
