Springfield Advance: Fire Sun
day evening completely destroyed
the Peter Isackson residence on west
Redwood street, originally built and
owned by F. H. Specht, and occu-
pied by Emil Metzinger. The con-
tents of the house was also COM
pletely consumed. The building was
insured for $500 and contents for
same amount.
Granite Falls Journal: Charles
lronheart, who is a full-blood Sioux
Indian, living down in the woods be
low town, wished to find out how he
stood as to citizenship, and SO had
Mr.. Salisbury write to the Commits
sioner of Indian affairs at Washing
ton. The reply was to the effect
that Charles lronheart is a full citi-
zen of the United States, and as such
has the right to conduct his own
business affairs the same as a white
man.
How short-sighted is the policy Of
railroads. Their business has fallen
off the last few months, and in re-
ducing expenses they are discharg-
ing hundreds of section men, notes
a neighboring exchange. Thus they
save a few thousands of dollars in
the cost Of maintenance of way,
and add enormously to the risk of
travel. Human slaughter seems to
have few pricks for the railroad con-
science, but they might look at the
material side of the question that
one bad wreck would pay the wages
Of an army of common laborers.
Wabasso Standard: We are sorry
to mention that Alvin Small has
resigned as buttermaker tor the
Wabasso creamery and has accepted
a position with a creamery at West
brook, where he started to work
Monday. His place was filled here
by Fred. Keller who is a good but
termaker and we hope Mr.. Keller
will give the company good service.
We are sorry as we mentioned be-
fore to see Mr.. Small leave this vii
lage, but what is this villages loss
is another's gain. Mr.. Small does
not expect to move his family there
until spring.
Cottonwood Current: Had you
but seen the bunch of wolf and fox
hides that Elmer Gilman had on
exhibition Monday, your first ques-
ton would perhaps have been where
were they captured? And when told
that all were taken within a few
miles of Cottonwood you could
scarcely have satisfied yourself that
such could be true, in county
where they are thought to be so we'll
ridden. He has no less than eigh-
teen fox skins and nine large wolf
pelts and when placed upon the
market he will realize a neat sum
for his trouble, besides what he has
already received in wolf bounty.
Ivanhoe Times: Draining land is
not as we'll understood by farmers
as it should be. The cost always
looms up like an immense barrier as
soon as a farmer commences to fig
ure on tile draining a portion of his
ICI LII, OQU WIlCIl q IIlCll SCIo OCc1I CCu
draining he generally keeps on until
he has his farm in good condition.
In Iowa, where the compulsory
drainage law has been enforced for
some time, it's considered one Of
the most valuable laws on the statute
books. Instead Of working hard
ship, as great many public speak
ers declared it would, it seems to
benefit at least nine people out of
ten where it is put in force.
Tracy Herald: Assistant state
veterinary, R. J. Coffeen. was in
Tracy this week and preferred Grim
