of ducks in the lake. The water is very
high and he saw several wild geese with

high feather when the season opens.

On the night of the third of July a
violent wind and rain storm visited the
vicinity of New Paynesville and did an
immense amount of damage, including
in the list of property the mill recently
purchased by the Heimerdinge1 Bros. of
this place. It tore the roof from this
and Damaged a large amout Of wheat
that was stored in the elevator. The
whole of Stearns county was swept by
the storm and the rye and barley crops
are considerably injured. p,
Residents Of St. Peter are wrought up
over the manner in which they we're
treated by William Davidson, cigar
maker. Last winter Davidson conducted
an union cigar factory in Sleepy Eye.
He cut quite swath and on the strength
of his evident hustling propensities St.
Peter parties offered him bonus of $500
if he would move his factory to st. Peter
and employ certain number of hands
all the year around. Davidson accepted
the bonus but last week he left the town
between two days, taking with him all
of the manufactured stock.
Bernhard Matsch, pioneer settler Of
Nicollet county, died suddenly Monday
night at his home in West Newton from

years of age and only the day before his
death attended church. Mr.. Matsch was
born in Wuerttemberg, Germany, and
came to this part of the state in 1856.
He settled IN West Newton and during
the Indian massacre of 1862 sough refuge
in New Ulm, taking part in the defense
of Saturday, August 23rd. He leaves one
daughter, Mrs. W. N. Buschard, to mourn
his loss. The funeral will be held at 10
o'clock this morning from the st. George
Catholic church.
The Review is in receipt Of long
letter from Prof. Bosky in which he
explains the connection of the discovery
of the new metal called radium, to his
theories recently published and which
have met with a good reception in this
and the old countries. He says that the
proof that there is metal or substance
that is apparently exhaustless of itself,
that is that does not lose or become re-
duced by use, proves many things in his
exposition Of the doctrines of life. It is
an ingenious exposition and the Review
regrets that the limited amount OF space
in the paper forbids the publication Of
the article.
