last Thursday, Rev. j. Geo. Appel
officiating.
Press dispatches state that the
town of Sparta. in northern Mime
sofa is doomed and will eventually
be changed to hole in the ground.
Residents of the town have been
given notice to move by the United
States Steel corporation, who will
convert the site into an open pit iron
mine.
Candy Herald: Last Thursday
John Hoseck killed bob cat in his
corn field and the animal was exhib-
tied in town for several days. He
then sent it to Alvin Landru and
will have it mounted. A bob cat
has not been killed in this vicinity in
years and the supposition is that this
one had come down from the north
ern part of the state.
New Ulm Review: Mrs. H. L.
Beecher has received from Ludwig
Won Hoffman, of Dresden an auto
graphed photograph of one of his
famous paintings. During her visit
to Europe few years ago Mrs,
Beecher visited the famous artists
studio and became greatly interest
ed in his work. Applying to him
for signed photograph of the pic
ture which she had fancied, he read
lily granted her request.
After nine years of continuous
publication, the Raymond News sus-
pended publication on the ground
that the patronage of the town is in
sufficient to warrant its continuance.
While most lines of legitimate bust
ness are overworked to some extent,
we doubt whether any are more so
than the newspaper business. When
a newspaper becomes a burden to a
small town, the sensible thing to dc
is to shut up shop.
New Ulm citizens have grown
somewhat cold towards the project
for developing the clay deposits near
that city, since the promoter has
issued circulars booming a new town
on the Bier farm, five miles this side
of that city. The circular concludes
with the statement that one humid
red business lots and five times as
many residence lots will be placed
on the market in the near future,
and it is estimated that their sale
will net the company 100000. The
Review facetiously adds that after
this happens, railroads will get into
connection and banks, breweries and
business blocks will spring up like
mushrooms after warm rain.
Olivia Times: The Episcopal
church, built some ten or twelve
years ago at Beaver Falls, is now
/ numbered among the churches oil
Olivia, having been moved into
! town yesterday. Perry Morse, who
} has had the contract for moving the
building, and the Honzay brothers
who furnished the power, accomp
lished quite difficult task in NOV
ing the building up out of "SIeepy
Hollow" and sliding it across thu
, prairie. Their work has been very
i satisfactory to the committee. The
site selected for the church is one O.
, the best in the village. being higt
, and convenient. The building which
8 measures about "a by 80 feet, will
be repaired and remodeled, and will
be enlarged later on, if deemed nee
essary. 1t is sufficiently large fol
, the present needs of the congrega
ton, however. and when repaired
, will be suitable place for worship
Red Lake Falls Gazette: Count,
bitches are considered by the court
to be public waterways and they
cannot be filled up or INSTRUCTED
without the person doing the dam
age being liable to a fine. When ;
4 county ditch runs across farmer
t land or through his pasture he natur
ally comes to consider that portion
of it to be in way under his control
But it is not. He cannot let his >liv,
