zell returned from Washington,

through the post like letters at a
cheaper rate and are all the vogue.

Redwood Falls on the afternoon train
from where he will undoubtedly be
taken to the st. Peter hospital.

named Bings, has saved his apple
crop, and he did it with ice. Having
lived in Minnesota all his lite Bings

were read it is said that the hardened
sinners who compose the board broke
