Rev. W. H. White had quite narrow
escape last week. He drove into the
Watonwan river at Garden City to wash
his buggy and in attempting to turn
around the current proved to be too
swift taking his ponies off their feet
and overturning the buggy. He managed
to free the horses from the buggy so
they swan to shore and by the aid of
, the buggy and the limb of tree he
succeeded in getting to land. The buggy
was damaged somewhat, but he felt
very thankful to escape as well as he
did-Good Thunder Herald.

Minnesota Lake is now quite lake
and the citizens of our neighboring town
will endeavor to save its appearance by
keeping the drains closed up which were
made during recent years when it was to
be divided up for farm purposes. The
water is now several feet deep where two
years ago the lake bed was entirely dry.

background for tropical forest. The
air is full of sunshine, and heavy with
fragrance as night cones on, and then,
if the moon be shining, you may hear
at midnight through open windows, the
song of the mocking- bird in the scented
grove, and it never seemed so melodious
before.''
An experience like this is possible any

Pythian High Jinks.

The Knights of Pythias of Valley
Lodge, of this city, entertained a
number of their friends at smoker
in their hall last Monday night, in
celebration of the 39th anniversary
of the order. It was no stiff-backed
affair. Every one felt free to enjoy
himself in his own way, and he pro-
ceeded to do SO. There was no
formality, and even the musical
and literary program which preced-
ed the festivities, was free from con,
straint. Knight Doty, of Salt Lake
City, organizer for the endowment
rank of the order, was present and
added greatly to the enjoyment of
the evening with his characteristic
recitations and clever pantomimes.
Robert Johnson, pantomimist OF
Valley Lodge, shared the honors
with the Knight from the "City of
the Saints" B. W. Johnson and
Thos. Whitehorn presided over the
culinary department. They pre-
pared opsters raw, oysters pan, oys-
ters cocktail and oysters etcetera,
etcetera; beef tea, rye bread and &C.
cessories, with cigars, and every
one helped himself. The initiation
of a number of candidates into the
mysteries of the degree of "equal
rights" was performed just at the
uncanny hour Of midnight, and the
festivities ended in a round of mer-
r.ment.
