barn which he is building on the place

able to be around again, though quite
feeble.
The water in the river and on the
bottom lands has been going down
again but the heavy rain Tuesday af-
ternoon will probably bring it up as
high as ever. 1t has been very trying
and uphill business for the farmers on
these lands and if the water does not 90
down soon it will be too late for crops on
the river bottoms.
A large number of the young folks
met at the house Of Louis Blomquist on
Saturday evening last, to help cele-
brate the sixteenth birthday of Miss
Amy, their only daughter. a pleasant
time was enjoyed by all A large
number OF presents were presented to

ample justice.
The young folks from the age of six
years up have a society with the high
sounding title OF "Senatatus Juyinutas'
and have gotten out Il program for an
entertainment for Thursday night that
ought to make the older ones blush
with envy. There will be a chorus by
the glee club, followed by three reci-
tations with solo. by Miss Ellingwood.
after which there will be three more
recitations and dialogue by seven of
the little girls concluding with a
chorus by the club and finishing with
refreshments of ice cream and cake for
which there will be moderate fee of
ten cents which they will use on a
present for their teacher. There will |
be large attendance.
1t is with regret that we announce
the untimely death of the wife of our
fellow CITIZEN Nelson Conat. Mrs
Conat had been in poor health for the
past year or two but about the middle
Of April was taken worse, necessitating
the calling Of a physician who has been
in daily attendance Oh the case. She |
was supposed to be getting some better
to all appearances until about one
O'Clock Monday morning & sudden |
change for the worse occurred which |
terminated in her death az nine A. NJ.
1t is sad blow to the husband and
children and they have the deepest
sympathy of the whole community |
She was the mother Of seven children
who are all living to mourn the loss of
kind and indulgent parent.

Brook and Isanti on Sunday last failed

tie round and get up a canned goods
supper for the Isanti crowd. after
walloping them badly on the diamond.
For what reason the Isanti boys failed
to appear here can only be conjectured.
1t is supposed that they could not bring
along their crack pitcher Booth. to
help them out. 1t is announced that
the Brook team will play the Germany
Grays on the Princeton diamond on
next Sunday, May 9th.
Startling Test.
