senting the DesMoines Mutual Life

during the past several days inter-
esting people in the line of life in
surance written by his company.
Miss Flora King returned from
her musical studies at Chicago
conservatory on Tuesday of last
week. Miss King will probably re-
main with her mother for the sum-
mer and in Septembershe expects TO
90 to southern Illinois and become
a teacher of music in one of the pub
lie schools of an Illinois town.
Armanus H. Moon and family, who
have been visiting with relatives in
and around Redwood Falls since
they left Kennon, Wis, left early
this week for,Stillwater, where they
will reside in the future. Mr.. Moon
has been engaged as a salesman for
the Northwestern Threshing Ma
chine Co. of Saltwater, with head
quarters in that city.
Janitor Robinson OF the court
house has bicycle on his hands.
The wheel was left on the south
side of the court house on Sunday
evening, July 18th, with puncture
in the rear wheel, and was left
there until Thursday morning, with
out any person claiming ownership.
Mr.. Robinson then took the wheel
under his care. The police thinks
it belongs to the culprit who broke
into the store and saloon that after
noon or evening, and owing to the
puncture the rider could not make
his escape by it.
On Sunday afternoon, July 18th,
a sneak thief secured an entrance
into G. W. Vaughn's saloon by rails
ing a rear window, the catch Of
which had been unfastened the pre-
vious evening or morning, and stole
a couple of dollars from the cash
drawer and few bottles of liquor.
It is apparent that the thief was the
same person who broke into Cum
Minis & Dripps' store the sane
afternoon or evening. Mr.. Vaughn
thinks that the thief was man, as
the window light was unfastened
the night before, and inasmuch as
no boys are allowed in the saloon it
could have been unlocked by no
other person.

has already commenced the work OF
laying his sidewalk in front of the
two lots on Fifth street. John P.
Cooper will commence laying the
walk in front of his property on
Wyoming street this week, and the
order for putting in the walks at
other places will be enforced at
every point. The council is now
unanimously determined that the
walks will be built.
The county commissioners have
found it necessary to increase the
tax levy about a thirty-three hun
dredth of mill for 1903. For sew
eral years past the revenue fund
has been decreasing, and this year
it has reached a point so low that it
was decided to raise the tax so as
to increase the amount. The reve-
nue. for this year, according to the
idea of the commissioners, should
be $4,000. The road and bridge
fund is to be $4,000, the county poor
fund 81, 500, and the refunding bond
interest fund 81, 600, making total
