Sheriff Williams has twelve steady
boarders this winter, one of whom is a
woman Aside from the everlasting dis
grace of being jail birds, which will
cling to them as long as they live, they
are probably the most contented and
comfortable people in the county. They
don't have to get up these alfred cold
mornings to build the fire and then go
out and thaw out the pump and do a lot
of other chores and then come in and
stand around in the way while the wom-
en- folks are getting breakfast. The
cold, penetrating northwest wind, such
as is galloping over the state this very
minute, has no terrors for them. They
don't have to go to the postoffice for
their mail, or 90 into cold dining room
for their meals, or sleep in cold room.
They don't worry about the price of
COAL or flour, or meat, or potatoes. There
is by far too large class that prefers
modern Jail accommodations for the win
ter at least Williams boardcrs are OF
this class.-Amboy Herald,

The life and character of that poet of
nature were portrayed with an enchant-
ing vividness that held the attention
of everybody spellbound. The address,
while teeming with choice thoughts pre-
scented with such striking clearness, that
misconstruction or failure to understand
was scarcely possible, was by no means
without it's condiments of humor, every
one of which came suddenly and fOrcibly,
provoking outbursts of laughter at most
unexpected moments. Rev. Sykes did
his share of homage to the Scottish race
His father was not born in Scotland, but
his mother was, and if he had anything
to say about it, he would also have been
born there. But, as he could not help
that, he did the next best thing; he took
a Scotch wife.
The ladies' quartette, Misses Maysel
Bishop, Agnes Glasoe, Jennie Mcqueen
and Anna Miller, now delighted the aud
fence with "Annie Laurie" Still more
enthusiasm was called forth, however,
by the dancing of the Highland fling by
eleven year old Mary Sinclair of Mime
apolis, the majors daughter. This num-
Der was applauded SO long and heartily
that Miss Sinclair responded with anoth-
er dance, the Sheauns Trews.

The narrow escape from drowning
of Joe Jennings son Of n. S. Jennings,
in Willow creek last Monday, is a
problem that invokes serious consid-
Grafton, The lad was on horseback
and when he was crossing the creek
on Fifth street, the water was SO
high that 1t took horse and rider
down stream, narrowly escaping seri-
Gus wounds from the barb wire fence
which is stretched across the creek
at that point. Several others have
been delayed considerably on account
of the large volume of water. This
calls to mind the many narrow es-
capes of a year ago.-Madras Pioneer.

lures now under way, or soon to be

ing houses upon which work is now
being done or will be started imme-
diately, the cost of which will amount
to between forty and fifty thousand
dollars
Besides these there are now under
way eight business blocks and school
houses, the total cost OF which is in
the neighborhood of $4,000, thus
making a total of over 100000 in
vested in building enterprises at one
time.
The following is a list of the resi-
dences that are known to be in
course of construction, or for which
plans are being made:
]. Mumm, Lewis street, estimated
cost $4,000.
