department at Rock Island arsenal.
Misncr and his new friend became
very much attached to each other in
a short time.
Along toward evening third party
appeared on the scene and panhandl-
ed Misner for the price of bed. The
latter was inclined to bc cautious in
the distribution of his aims, but his
friend. the harneSSmaker, assured
him that the third party was ''all
right" and upon this representation
Misncr took the outcast along with
him and the two turned into the same
bed at the Walker house. Misner
had a good suit of clothes and = re
spectacle hat. while his companion
was hardly presentable in good 50
cicty.
When the Henry county man aWokc
this morning he missed his coTPan-
ion and upon investigation, lac found
that the latter had made mistake in
the dark and exchanged suits and
hats. Misner spent the day hunting
for his clothes and the man in them.

ing. A reactionary storm period
will center on and about the 10th

warmer, falling barometer and wide
areas of more rain and snow will

All of these storm perturbations un-

wind up with decided changes to
colder, and blizzardous squalls OF
sleet and snow in all the northward
part of the country. Do not lose

and storms, need not surprise any
one on and along the gulf and
Atlantic ocean, from the 21st to 26th
inclusive: The days of greatest
probable violence in this period
will be Sunday the 23rd to Wednes-
day the 26th. Very decided north
westerly storms will rush southward
and eastward at this time as
counterpart to the Equatorial storms
causing probable tornadoes in local
tiles where the opposing influences
meet, and bringing snow and biz
yards to many parts of the country,
even in the central states. Any re-
gular and thoughtful observer OF
storm and cloud especially if he has
at hand a good barometer and hyro-
meter can tell when his locality is
going to fall in the central path OF
danger during any storm period.
High temperature, low barometer
great humidity, and fitful winds
from south or east are warnings
that should be promtly needed dur
ing any regular storm period and
especially at such times as the per-
iod under discussion-the2 1st to the
26th of the present month.
The cold weather that is sure to
follow the last named storm period
will change to much warmer as
the month goes out, the barometer
will again fall, and more reactionary
rain and snow will visit many
sections in their march eastward
across the states.

MAGGIE MAKES FUN.

Some fun was had in the district
court this week when Judge Monroe
took up a new case and wanted the
court room cleared. Maggie Blick
was sitting near Charley Kerfus
and refused to leave him. The
sheriff was ordered to put her out.
This he proceeded to do. When
near the door the woman turned on
him and everlastingly pounded him
over the head and face with big
fur boa she had. After furnishing
considerable amusement for the
crourt and others present, the big
sheriff carried her bodily from the
room, but not until his shins were
badly pounded.-Republican, Hays

On Friday evening of last week

does, on a gentle elevation, it makes
fine appearance. There were
present some seventy or eighty
people, and the evening was spent

There is a charm about marriages
that never grows old. When two
young people join their hands. and
fortunes for life, a wave Of pleasur

whole neighborbhood, and friends
and acquaintance even at quite 8
distance are reached by the widening

are known to almost every one II
the neighborhood; they are among
the estimable young people we have
and they begin life with the respect

friends. The young couple received
number of presents. Many Of them
beautiful and all of them useful.

KILLED AT LUVERNE.


A man, whose name could not be
learned, but who had imbibed too
much of the contents of the flowing
cups, was struck by passenger train,
No. Is, on Saturday night just west
of the bridge at Luverne. His head
was completely severed from the
body and both legs cut off at the
hips. It was supposed that he did
not know what struck him, as his
eyes we're tightly shut when picked
up. The remains we're taken care OF
by the city physician, and will be
held until his relatives, if any are
found, call for and care for them.
Later-The name of the above
party is learned to have been
Henry Eagan. He has been
working around Luverne for the
past four years. He has no rela-
tives that can be found. He was a
native of Norway and has been in
this country a few years. He was
buried Monday afternoon by the
Rock County authorities.
