FRIENDS OF Henry Herrlan are talk
ing Of him as candidate for the Office
of city clerk. Henry would look we'll
behind the railing in the clerks Office
and would be an accepta BILE candidate
to large number of voters in the city.
Mrs. Barbara Grunnet who was
afflicted with partial stroke of para
lysis recently, died at her heme in this
city Saturday morning and was buried
from the Catholic church Monday
morning. She was 81 years old and
leaves four children, one son and three
daughters.
A number of the friends of Otto Hum
| mel in this city are in receipt of cards
from New York containing the infor-
nation that he arrived in that city
safely and is taking in the sights. He
will attend the annual meeting of the
| retail clothiers of the nation while
| there.
Some of the friends of w. G. Alvin
say that he is singing when Johnny
| Comes Marching Home" continuously
since early Monday morning. The
occasion for it is not so much because
of the comic opera of that name which
showed here the evening before but
because of the birth of a son. at his
home.
The coming of the farmers, institute
this week gave a number of farmers an
opportunity to pay their taxes and at
tend the institute at the same time.
The time for the payment of taxes ex-
pires this month after which a penalty

pie are digging up
Herman Lindmeyer, who has been
. confined to his home for the past two
weeks has so far recovered as to be
able to be out and yesterday was seen
upon the streets enjoying the pleasant
weather. He will be able to attend to
his duties in his factory in short
time
/ 1t cannot be said that there is any
thing doing in the line of city politics
in this city that gives it the appearance
of being much of contest. It is but
a short time until the time for spring
election and there has not been a
single individual who has cared to
come out and say that he was candi-
date for the Office of mayor. There
are a number of good men in the city
who would make good officers and
some of them have been asked to be
candidates but have declined. There
is still time, though, for several to get
active before the first of April.
! Emil Olson went to New Ulm last
Friday to transact some business and
while there he was taken suddenly i'll
and his family sent for who went there
on Monday. He was, however, then
somewhat improved and returned home
with them on Tuesday. When he was
taken sick it was thought that he was
suffering from appendicitis but after
a careful doctors examination it was
found that the pain in his side was
caused by strain supposedly received
through overwork. He will be unable
I to do any work for some time but it is
thought that he will in the course

A transaction in business at the dry
goods store of Anton Ochs in this city
goes to show that it is possible to buy
: goods here cheaper than in the cities.
A lady from Minneapolis while on a
visit with friends in this place noticed
some patterns in silk sold by Mr.. Ochs
and pricing them was astonished to
find that they were selling much below
the price for the same article in stores
in Minneapolis and Immediately bought
quite large bill of goods. The cir
cumstance simply demonstrates that
people imagine often that they are pay
ing too much for things when in reality
they are getting better goods alta lower
price than they would if they went out
of the city to buy.
A professional man of this city had
rather unique experience one day
. last week. He employed a man Of the
| city to cut some wood for him and con.
tracted'to pay him 81 for the work.
The fellow claimed that he was hard
up and needed some ready money and
4 the professional man advanced hin
D half of the sum. The fellow then wen,
