ST. INIGO,s ITEMS.


~S~S@@' Correspondents.
4 few OF our citizens are approx
mating-not antediluvian longevity
but a ripe age-90 years.
We notice that unsightly areas of
ground have been transformed into
small fruitful fields and contiguous
smaller areas metamorphosed into
blooming gardens.
The colored citizens Of different
neighborhoods deserve praise for
their work and taste.
Doctors, well. perhaps they have
thrown away their pill-bags and
utilize their vest pockets as recep-
tacles for their nauseous powders,
liquids, etc. We do not see them
carry their old fashioned receptacles
as formerly.
Industry is the main spring of
farmers. They are progressing well
with their work.
This section is picturesque. We
ask, are not the fair fields and gard
ems a reminder of Eden before Satan's
dark tread had thrown q shadow to
mar the beauty OF its primeval glory?
Many pounds Of wool have been
consigned and 30 cents a pound has
been realized. The average fleece
was z pounds, which should be salts
factory. Wool typifies carnality,
and we are informed that the Israe-
lites were not allowed to wear
clothes mixed with wool and linen.
Ministers OF the gospel say this is a
lesson in favor of q holy life. That
such life is automatically taught
In the unmixed garment.
The ring OF the anvil is heard in
the land. See that smith how he
shapes pieces Of iron and steel upon
the conoid bicorn to suit his pur-
poses.
Rain and hail accompanied with
lightning, thunder and wind occa-
sionally visits the district.
We notice that farmers generally
rotate crops. A few bare fields are
seen, which possibly may have been
impoverished by ignoring rotation.
Be this as it may they have been
transformed into infertile fields and
consequently do not yield grass suf-
ficient to keep the animals inclosed
from describing paths with short
angles.
Sickness is the harbinger of death,
and we have TO chronicle the death
Of an aged colored man, Grandson
Barnes, OF downtown section. It
is obvious that death comes to all
men. We trust that the immaterial
part OF our friend has passed to that
region where the harmony of sweet
sounds is not disturbed by the
chords Of dissonance.
Birds chant the praises of God at
the glowing brightness of the rising
and setting sun. Man, whose al.
fections are presumed to be excited
by perception of worth, excellence,
rectitude, etc., looks up to heaven
and utters, Abba. Father-Thy will
be done. Angels-celestial intelli.
i
to His eternal praise.

twelve miles from Chicago. Charles

VIENNA park were among the injured.
The wreck occurred through the

tr1cate the victims from the wreckage.
None OF the injured are considered in

STRIP OLD TOWER
Relic of Frontier Days Rapidly
Being Restored

The old round tower, the most an
cient landmark on the Fort Smelling
reservation, is rapidly being restored
TO its former appearance. Workmen
are bnsily engaged in removing the
renovating touches which were put on
last summer and tearing off the ce-
ment covering which for one year has
hid from the sight of the old settler
the familiar color of the original fort.
The stripping of the coat of cement
was brought about through a protest
nied with the war department by the
Minnesota Historical society, who felt
that Minnesota should be permitted to
Keep untouched this relic of the pioneer
days. The government in imparting
the look OF age to the tower which il
originally bore will not only rernove
the white coating of cement, but will
repoint the rocks in the walls which
were fiatteDed so that the cement would
adhere. The constructing quarter
master is surety for the statement that
when the workmen are through the
tower will assume its former appear
ance.
Col. Owen j. Sweet, of the Twenty
eighth infantry, commander of the fort,
has rendered the historical society val
liable aid in inducing the war depart
ment to undo the work of last wear.
He recommended that the tower be re-
stored to its original shape, as its utiI-
ity would not be lessened and the peo-
pie of Minnesota would be pleased
thereby. Col. Sweet also recommend
ed that the octagonal tower be re-
moved to its original position, but this
was not deemed advisable by the de-
partment.
When the squadron of cavalry which
has been assigned to Fort Smelling ar
rives the round tower will be used as
It's headquarters. 1t has already been
fitted up for this purpose

NEWS OF THE CITY
ROMANTIC WEDDING
Fred SChiffmann Quietly Mar.
rieS St. Paul Girl

Fred c. Schiffmann. politician and
man about town, and Miss Clara Haas,
4O2 West University avenue, were mar
ried April IA in Joliet, ILL.,, and are now
on their wedding tour. The announce
ment came as a surprise to Mr.. Schiff-
mann's circle of friends, as he failed to
take them into his confidence when he
started for the east, ostensibly on a
business trip.
A touch of romance is added to the
wedding, inasmuch as Mrs. Schiffmann
was for many years in the employ of
her husband, although she is but 19
years of age. The ceremony was per-
formed at Christ church, Joliet, Rector
Thomas w. MacLean performing the
rites. The identity of the contracting
parties was effectively hidden by the
registering from Brandon, Man.
The bride left st. Paul sometime
previously, supposedly with the inten-
ton of visiting a sister in Newport.
MINI. Later Mr.. Schiffmann informed
