lvanhoe sportsmen received TWEEN
ty-five pounds of wild rice last week
and will plant it in lakes near that
place to attract wild ducks.
Another life was taken the other
day near Minneapolis by a stray
bullet fired by amateurs popping
away with 22-calibre rifle. Read

visiting at Granite Falls a few
months ago by bullet fired in a
similar careless manner.
letters Review: 1t is said that
dancing makes girls feet large. 1t
is also said that ice cream causes
freckles. Doctors are of the opinion
that hanging on the front gate pro-
duces rheumatism. A few more
opinions like these and the girls
won't have any fun left them.
Hanley Falls Press: Noble Couch
eron has been in this village num-
Der of days the past week taking up
the reorganization of the Hanley
Falls band. He has met with the
most universal approval and en-
enlargement of the former band
boys and a number of others have
expressed a desire to join the band,
and in all, there will be about twen-
ty-five members.
Granite Falls Journal: There are
more apples raised in this county
this year than can be readily dis
posed of. If part of them were
winter apples it would be different
as far as disposing of them was con-
cerned, but they are fall apples and
are soon unfit for use. When a good
winter variety of apple is found for
this section there will be few apples
shipped in from more eastern or
southern points.
1t is said that the business men
in the villages of Walnut Grove,
Revere, Lamberton and Sanbern are
talking of forming a stock company
and will run an OK train from the
south side of the county to Redwood
Falls, now that the new time card
has gone into effect reversing the
passenger train service on this line
between Mankato and Tracy. Train
service now between here and Red
wood Falls is simply horrible Lam-
berton Star.
New Ulm Review: Some weeks
ago the announcement was made in
these columns that the 4th cavalry,
composed of several hundred men
would probably include New Ulm
on their itinerant practice march.
Word has now been received from
Capt. Louis Scherer, Fort Smelling,
that the squadron will arrive here
on Oct. 8th. and will camp in this
city over Saturday and Sunday. The
officials of the Fair association have
offered them the fair grounds as
camping place. They will undoubt-
eddy receive hearty welcome and
arrangements are being made to
entertain the officers and men.
Hutchinson Independent: The
people os Lynn township and Hutch
inson, where he was best known,
were shocked Friday morning by
the news of the death of James
Oleson of Lynn-big, strong, CHEEKY,
Jim" Oleson, man beloved where
ever known, devoted to his family,
generous to his friends, public-spir-
tied, and prominent especially in
the political affairs Of the county.
He was a man who could lily be
spared by his family or the COM
munity and the sudden call from
out of the darkness of the Great
Beyond was proof grim and real
that Death loves a shining mark. !"

trip across the deep sea and a happy
reunion with friends and relatives
in their native land. - E. S. Iver-
