The weather for the weekshas

The weather for the week shas
been very mild for the season as is
seen by consulting Thayer, = wealth
er report as a reinforcement to ex-
perience. Some snow fell yester-
day and the air is full of fine flakes
as we go to press to-day. Sleds are
running but the sleighing is not
good-not snow enough yet.
We had arranged for cut of the
new courthouse and expected to
have received it for publication in
this issue. 1t didn't arrive, and its
failure to show up precludes the
possibility of our showing it up this
week. We hope to make a better
showing next week.

The up-to-date farmer is the read
ing farmer-the man who wants the
news of the day the same as the
city merchants; the man who watches
the markets, is posted in politics,
has general knowledge of every
day happenings and knows a good
newspaper when he sees it. The
best paper for Is cents year in
this country is the Farmers Week
ly Dispatch, St. Paul. Mimi. Write

The holiday season was celebra-
ted here with very pleasant and
pleasing conditions. The weather
was generally mild SO that people
could get from place to place with
out discomfort. There was the
usual home coming and the visits
and cordial greetings of friends and
acquaintance. These Christmas
festivities give renewed brightness
to life-and a reinforcement to the
will. They strengthen old ties and
make new ones. They make the
landscape of the present to appear
more pleasing and give touch of
color to the prospective future.
Most OF the students and teachers
whose homes are here but whose
work is abroad who had come to
rest and refresh themselves at the
hearth of the old home have return
ed to their work, stronger by reason
of these Christmas festivities and
greetings of affections.
1t is claimed that the murderer of
Harry o. Harris has been positively
identified in the person of William
Meyers, who has been convicted and
sentenced to be hung for the murder
der of the mayor Of Thompson,
Illinois. The marshal of Thomp-
SON claims the reward offered for
the arrest of the slayer CT Sheriff
Harris. A half dozen men have
been arrested as the murderer of
Mr.. Harris but no one of them
has been shown to have been the
right man. Before the reward is
paid it must be shown to the salts
faction of the proper authorities
that the man in custody is the MUIR
derer. The authorities whose duty
it is to determine should thoroughly
satisfy themselves in this matter,
because, if this man is not the muir
derer the real one must be persist
emily sought, and if this is the man,
no further investigation is needed.
