There was quite lively run away last
Saturday. A team, hitched to big
farm wagon, started out on run, col
lided with big telephone pole, wrecked
the wagon, and ran on. The horses
were caught shortly after. No one was
hurt, but the crowded condition OF the
streets made it seem like miracle that
no other damage resulted.

night and delighted the audience. This
troupe has been here before and is quite
IA favorite with patrons of the opera

show and deserves the good name it has.
The singing was tirst-class, the jokes
witty, and the specialties were all good.
The music, both band and orchestra,
was very fine.

Last Thursday morning there was
rustling for water, and more than one
householder was pouring hot water on
the hydrant and filing the air with
warm expressions. The air was cold,
but the hydrant was not frozen. Simp-
ly this-the water works had been shut
down, without notice, for some repairs
and cleansing out. BY night things
were in running order. The event

Kansas, last Sunday, Billy was accused
OF having come back to get married.

bet fifty dollars that he hadn't. So last
Monday night, he stole a march, and at
quietly married to Miss Pearl Cuppy,
by Rev. o. w. Auman, of the Methodi
church. They took the train for New

bride are well and fayorably known here
and both were popular. May they live
long and be ever happy is the general
sentiment.
Quite little talk is INDUCED in about
what the farmers are going to do about
their beet contracts. There is only one
sensible view for the farmers to take.
They have everything to win and moth
ing to lose. They have good market
assured for their beets, and there can be
no loss to them, except through fail
ure OF the crop. This would mean the
same thing, factory or no factory.
Raising the beets means every thing in
favor, letting down may mean to lose.
The farmers have signed the contracts,
and we think them men, and true men
enough to live up to their part Of the
bargain.
