"A. n. Barber reports that his new
elevator at Manchester is under con
struction and is progressing rapidly.
1t will have a capacity of 10000 bush
els and have all the modern conyen-
fences and facilities. With this adj
dition to the elevator interests of Man
chester that town will be able to take
care of a large amount of grain and
should have a good market.
While there may be no warrant
for it in either the state statutes or
city ordinances. De Smet has need of
an official windmill oiler. On a breezy
night a dozen old windmills that have
withstood the ravages of the elements
for years, and during that time have
never seen or heard of an oil can, are
capable and do disturb the slumbers
of peaceful citizens more than almost
anything else that could happen. The
granting, g~roaning, and grinding OF
dry Windmill on a windy night would
drive a temperance man to strong
drink. In absence Of an official oiler we
would suggest that the owners invest
fifteen cents in oil and take five min.
utes' time each week to relieve the
strain on the nerves of the public. II
might do the windmill good, too.

Semrad Case Settled.

The much-talked-of case of John
Semrad and wife of Muscoda town
ship who undertook by force to
obstruct public highway and there
by secure possession of some coveted
land came to close IN Justice
Moses court Wednesday.
The affair had gained state
wide nOtoriety on account Of a sort
of a similarity it bore to the famous
John Dietz case.
The defendants went to all man
ner of tricks to obstruct the high
way, even moving buildings upon
it, and as a last resort plowed it up.
The town board then took hand
in the matter and fracas ensued
In which Chairman Harms received
a blow over the head with neck
yoke, others of the party were also
injured and Semrad and his wife
received rather severe treatment
before they were finally overpower
ed and d1sarmed.
They were brought to Lanoast
