What's the matter with the mail
service to Protivin? In our opinion,
the trouble lies in the Calmar post
office. An important letter mailed by
us In Cresco Wednesday had not
arrived at Protivin Friday noon, and
we have had numerous complaints
that the package Of Thursday PLAIN
DEALER IS did not reach there till the
Monday following.

Polled Angus calves last wcek to Mr..
81. T. Dallen Of Grandmeadow, MINI.
This young fellow was sired by Blue
Jacket and out of Craigleith 4th,
bred by James j. Hill of st. Paul,
Mimi, and sold at Miller S Storm Lake
sale for $3.50. This young bull was 8
mo. and 2oda. old the day he was
shipped and tipped the beam at lust
800. lbs.
Dennis Rice the founder of Riceville,
was in Cresco the latter part of last
week. In 1854, when the editor was a
resident of Beloit, Wisconsin,, Mr..
Rice, then on his way from q Chautauqua
County, New York, to Iowa, spent a
couple of days at our home and in the
spring of 1856 on their way from Du-
buque to Howard county with teams
they stopped over night with us in
Dubuque county. The old memories
are pleasant.
Mysteriously, the rumor was rife on
the streets Friday morning, that the
Indictment against the Elma burg
lars was worthless and that no con-
viction could be had under it as no
crime had been charged therein.
These rumors coming to the ear of the
County Attorney the Indictment was
submitted to the Court, which con-
frmed the correctness OF the rumor.
an order was thereupon entered upon
the court records ordering the recon-
vening the grand jury Monday, June
16, to consider the case, and direct
ing the Sheriff to summon the several
