closed Saturday, Sept. 10Th. The
total output for this season was 1885,
900 cans; the total number of days
run was %, making an average of
II, 965 cans per day. The farmers

much longer run will be made next
year. The factory during the time
it was in operation gave employ

intends to add other vegetables

| A sad accident recently occurred
at Montevideo. A millwright named
Richie and his two sons, were en-
gagged in repairing the outside of
| the rear of the mill. It appears
that four tiers of staging had been
built, and the father and two sons
were working on the upper tier.
In some manner Roy, the older of
the two boys, was working on the
outside, and in reaching around the
corner of the building either lost
his hold or footing and fell, some 40
feet to the rock pile below, from
which he bounded into the river
and was no more seen until he was
taken out dead. In the fall upon
the rocks he sustained two bad
cuts on the back of the head, and
there is no question that he met his
death instantaneously. He was in
the water about one half hour before
the body was recovered.
At the regular school meeting on
the 9Th inst, the board apportioned
the annual tax levy on the basis of
Is mills; which is three mills less
than last year. The schedule of
school desks and furnishings was.
also decided upon, the list to be
submitted to number of dealers
who are to render bids for the same
at an early date. Progress was re-
ported on the school building, the
contractors being now engaged in
putting on the finishing touches,
with the expectation of turning the
building over to the district by the
25th unless delayed on account of
some minor detrils of mill work for
the stairways, etc., (which had not
yet arrived. 4 W. S. Mckay, the
sub-contractor for the painting, re-
ported that the floors were being
dressed down by the contractors,
but that specifications made no pro-
vision for floor finish. The board
ordered the floors thoroughly oiled,
and the addition of rubber treads
for the main stairways of the build
ing.
News was: received here last
Thursday to the effect that the 6
Flying Banvards had a streak of
bad luck while performing for the
fair at Keokuk, Iowa, whitaker they
went after leaving Redwood Falls.
In the firstsappearance in that town
Mrs. Banvard, in making her dive
from the center and highest trapeze,
slipped and landed on her head in
such manner as to stiffen her neck
badly and make it impossible for
her to appear on the traps for a
couple of days. On the second day
Fritz Banvard fell on the bounding
board and hit his head on the frame.
This knocked him out completely
for few minutes, but did not cause
him to lose any shows. The Keo-
kuk Daily Constitution has an arti-
Gle on thes accident, winding up
with a poem along the line of the
six Little Indians. Z A letter
from Manager Banvard, now at his
home in Chicago, contains the in
formation that the six are now al
right and ready for their next ap-
pearance, which is to be somewhere
in the south.
