PASTOR RESIGNS
Rev. Hall, Of the Baptist Church.
Is Contemplating a Change
for His Health.

Last Sunday. after the commun-
ion service, Rev. A. G. Hall tend
cred his resignation as pastor -. of
the Swedish Baptist church at this
place, to take effect Jan. l. Ever
since his arrival in Minnesota from
his former charge in Cleveland,
Ohio, four years ago, ,-Rev. Hall has
been hampered with throat trouble,
which the repeated strain incident
to his, calling in no wise improved.
Medical aid seems inadequate, and
even periods of absolute rest have
failed to completely restore his
health, and the pastor is contem'
plating move to a milder climate
for the benefit of his throat. It
was for this reason the step has
been taken, and his friends will
much regret to see him leave, as
Rev. Hall is a powerful preacher
true to the teachings and principles
of the Bible. The church has al
this writing not acted on his resig'
nation. 1t is probable that a spe.
cial meeting will be called for this
purpose.

bad looking eye as a result of an

axe caught in clothesline and re-
bounded in such a way as to make
quite a cash beneath the eye. The
accident unfortunately was wit
messed by Mrs. Danielson, who is
recovering from an operation. and
the fright gave her a setback.
A skating rink has just been built

ing a warming room, covers an area
150x160 feet-about a quarter Of a
block-and will be lighted by elec-
tricity. A free opening will be
given in the near future, after
which the rink will be open every
afternoon and evening.

To Fix the Low Water Mark.

The county commissioners are
awaiting the arrival of State En-
gineer Ralph before taking steps to
erect the dam at Green Lake outlet.
There seems to be some difference
opinion as to how much, if any,
of the bed of the outlet has been
lowered by the passing Of the
dredge and barges. The stage of
water at this time in Green Lake
gives a fine wide beach around the
lake, and many think the lake more
attractive than when the water
comes up high. AS we understand
the matter, there is no understand
ing in the county board to attempt
to raise the lake above its natural
level, but simply to safeguard the
lake from being lowered by the
dredging of the river below the
lake. The state engineer will de-
termine the low water mark and
the dam will be constructed so as tc
permit the water it's natural flow
when above this mark.

Arctander, Dec. 2.-Jacob Rug
tvedt experienced most peculiarly
last week that the shortest route is
not always the best. Jacob was 60
ing to the mail box to get his mail,
and in order to save time he decided
to take the winter route-that is,
crossing a lake. In taking the first
steps on the smooth, glistening ice
he struck the cute notion to take
a long slide and, Of course, had to
start out with the greatest speed
possible. The slide was a delight
full one for a while. but his momen-
tum was sufficient to carry him to
a still smoother surface, but which,
alas! lacked some %hard water" on
top and "plump'' he went in, in
spite of all resistance he could make.
Fortunately he was able to keep his
head above water, but it indicated
a great state of uneasiness in the
human appendage below. He says
he enjoyed his cold bath very much,
and we hope it will have no i'll re-
suits.
