the 500 club last evening.
The women's missionary society

Miss Cora Woffensmith went to
Brainerd last week, having been
notified that her mother, who lives
near that city, had been stricken
with bone cancer which affected
her lower limbs, rendering her prac-
tically helpless.
New Ulm has been chosen as the
place for the annual Woodmen pic

summer. Sleepy Eye being out-voted
at recent committee meeting held
at New Ulm for the purpose of de-
Gliding the matter.
Mention was made in these col
umns recently Of Mrs. J. M. Thorn

]. V. E. Shavlik of Vesta will hold
an auction sale Thursday of next
week. and the Censor couples the.
announcement with the statement
that Mr.. Shavelik is getting ready
to get into the county campaign for
clerk of the court. A good auction
sale ought to help some in furnish
ing the sinews of war.
A Crookston dispatch to the Min
neapolis Journal of last Thursday
chronicled a serious loss to the Clark
Hardware Co. of that city, which is
operated by Dan Clark and brother,
formerly of this city. The dispatch
stated that the fire broke out in the
basement Of the Clark hardware
store the previous evening, the loss
to the Clark stock being estimated
at $4,000, with $4,000 insurance.
We trust that the estimate of loss
has been placed high, and that the
Clarks may realize enough from
their insurance to be able to go
ahead without being seriously Grip
pied in their resources.
Rev. E. V. Dubois and wife ac-
companied their little daughter to
the Battle Creek sanitarium for
treatment last week, and after Rev.
Dubois had progressed as far as
Chicago on his return trip, he was
taken i'll and went back to Battle
Creek to recuperate. His physicians
pronounced his trouble a case of
over-strained nerves, the probable
outcome of excessive work in con-
nection with the recent series of
meetings which he had been con-
Quoting, and practically guaranteed
his restoration after a rest of few
weeks. Presiding Elder Cowgirl was
applied to to fill the pulpit here next
Sunday, and unless unavoidably pre-
vented, will be here.
Messrs. Hingeley and Dolliff have
practically secured the enlistment of
enough young men to insure the
success of the proposition to organ
ize militia company in this city.
They report that the movement is
meeting general approval by bust
ness men and others who have been
interviewed in the progress Of the
canvass for enlistment. A very de-
sirable class of volunteers are up
for examination, including a num-
Der of business and professional
men, and representatives of all occu-
pations. AS soon as the examina-
tons have been made and approved,
the organization of the company
will be proceeded with. On account
of Cashier Hingeley's military ex-
perience and activity in securing the
company for this city, it is generally
conceded that he is the man to COM
mand the company.
The band concert last Monday
night made good at every point.
The receipts were twice as large as
ever realized at band concert in
this city-over 500 and we have
heard nothing but commentator

two delightful vocal solos by Miss
