Agent John was under the weather
part OF last week with the pleurisy.
Our merchants are getting in a fine
line OF spring stock in ladies and gents
furnishing goods.

ton after the vestibule was closed but

Orrin Conley went down to Ader-
deem last week with two good horses
which he sold at good figure. He
brought back compile Of good nags
which he bought there, and GENES
out of the deal on the right side.
On Monday Gust Wahl closed up his
deal with Jas. H. Penniman for the
Marvin Pierce place. The .considera-
ton was $4,000. This, with the Fish.
er quarter cornering it on the south
east quarter, makes Mr.. Wahl fine
farm.
A. G. Knapp is bound to take a
good team west with him. Havingslost

Now we don't claim to be any re-
lation to Webster but here is an i'm
portant subject compassed. A kiss is
a peculiar proposition. OF no use to
one yet absolute bliss to two. The
small boy gets it for nothing. The
old man has to buy it. The baby's
right, the lovers privilege, the hypo-
critics mask. To n young girl, faith,
to a married woman, hope, ana to an
old maid, charity.
The Putney correspondent took us
up on the price of grain saying the
rate from there to Minneapolis is six
teen cents per hundred; quite right,
but the rate from here is seventeen
| cents. OF course that makes only a
little over one-half cent per bushel, but
grain companies and railroads take the
fraction. Now if our brother will in
vestigate the Elkin's bill, now before
congress, he will find considerable
light on the subject of transportation
of wheat and coal, also find that bill
was on account of split up of the
railroads over Jim Hill cutting rates
of transportation.
Hon. P, d. Kribbs of this place, who
went down Monday morning on the
train that was wrecked, had pec,l-
liar experience. To a reporter for the
Huronite Mr.. Kribbs said: 81 remem.
Der there was crash but for several
hours did not realize what was going
on. now remember that when I set
tied down in the car for the trip to
Huron took off my oyercoat and over
shoes. After the crash remember
nothing, although my friends tell me
that mingled with the crowd and
did not talk at all irrational. Later,
when my mind became more clear l
found had on my overcoat and over
shoes. Now. in a tipped over car. and
with the intense excitement contribu-
tary thereto, where did get my over
coat and overshoes? The effort must
have been entirely mechanical on my
part, as remember nothing after the
I first shock
