Miss Murphy, former teacher at st.
Clair, is very sick with scarlet fever.
Last Sunday morning the sad news
was received that Mr.. G. B. Parks had
passed away. The news was not unex-
pected as his death had been looked for.
Mr.. Parks has been great sufferer from
heart disease and it was this trouble
which brought about his demise. Mr..
Parks was born in Grafton, Vermont,
Nov. I'd, $780, At the age of IL he was
converted and united with the Metho-
dist church. He resided in Wisconsin
for a number of years, coming to Mime
sofa in 1864 taking up government land
and developing his fine home in Lura
township where he continued to make
his home until the final summons on
April 18th. The funeral was held last
Wednesday, the remains taken to Wells,
where they were laid to rest.-Mapleton
Enterprise.
Mr.. Norton of st. Paul has accepted
the position of buttermaker at the Sterl-
ing creamery.
Attorney A. H. Lossow of Mankato
was in town Friday on legal business. 1t
has been intimated that Mr.. Lossow
has some intentions of getting into the
fight for the county attorneyship.- Ma-
pleton Enterprise.
Our creamery caught fire last Satur-
day morning and for a time it was
thought it could not be saved. There
was no wind that morning and to that
only can be attributed the fact that we
have creamery today. While there
was plenty of help, and water and pals
in abundance, still if there had been
wind there would have been no saving it,
for the reason that it had been smolder-
ing so long, perhaps couple of hours
or more before it was found out, and it
was hard to locate the exact place where
the fire was, as SNAKE was issuing from
the entire roof. All worked with will
and finally succeeded in putting it out.
The damage will not exceed $50 perhaps.
The building and contents are insured
for $4,000 Sterling Correspondence of

Future GRAIN and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Aug 31-The influence of poor
threshing returns and unfavorable weather in
the Northwest finally gained the ascendency
over the light primary receipts to-day, and as a
result the wheat market closed firm, with De-
cenlber up 3s@15c Heavy rains In Manitoba and
the Dakotas impaired some firmness at the open-
ing December being bc lower to 14c higher,

bulls. who were beginning to fear that there
might soon be receipts Of new spring wheat
preston, at least, in the market Commission
houses were fair buyers, but the demand was
not sufficient TO absorb all the offerings. AS a
result weak tone developed, December de-
clining to 81 ON. Later a Weather Bureau
prediction of continued rain IN both the wheat
and regions revived the enthusiasm of the
bull leaders With the aid Of shorts who had
taken advantage OF the break TO cover freely,
the market soon became strong, December ad-
vancng to 81 90. At the same time reports
OF poor threshng returns had some influence
on trading. An estimate Of $4,000. 600 bushels
States and Canada, made by Canadian crop
expert. also aided in forcing up prices for Sep
tember. AS an offset TO these bulish influences,
however, the Southwest reported a decided in
crease in primary receipts During the latter
part of the session trading was light, most of

advance was lost but the market closed firm.
