Rev. w. M. Evans, of Lake Pres
ton, was the guest of Rev. Isaac
Cassel Wednesday.
Rev. j. E. Booth departed Tues
day for Avon, this state, to attend a
ministerial meeting of the IEvange-
lical districts. He will be absent over
Sunday.
Mormon missionaries visited this
city a few days the first of the week
and spoke to crowds on the street each
evening. They failed to create IN
thusiasm among our people.
George Smith, of the Kingsbury
Valley Stock Farm, shipped nine head
of Duroc-Jerseys to different breeders
over the state the first Of the week.
This farm has one of the noted herds
of the northwest.
r. A. Rounesville, of Mathews
township, has leased his farm to j.
w. Barkalow and will give possession
next spring. Mr.. Rounesville will
move his family to the northern part
of Wisconsin near Grantsburg. R.
A. says he doesn't want to do any
thing for a year or two more than to
milk a cow and raise a garden for
family use. He intends to enjoy the
fishing that is afforded by the lakes
and streams of that locality.
-Nordie Bjornson came home ON
crutches Monday. He had been
braking on the Huron q Pierre divi-
son, and last Thursday in catching
the rod to climb to the roof of a
freight car, the rod gave way throw
ing him nearly under the car. The
wheel caught his foot crushing the
shoe and bursting open the sole. By
some miraculous good fortune the
foot escaped being taken off. Nordie
is certainly to be congratulated upon
his narrow escape.-Manchester News.
E. II. Lewis, living north of the
city on the English farm, which he
purchased a little over a year ago,
will hold an auction sale of personal
property Wednesday, October 9Th.
Neither mir. Lewis o his daughter
have enjoyed the best of health for
the past year and the family have
concluded to try California. 1t is
their intention to spend at least two
winters there and if all like it Mr..
Lewis will sell his farm and locate
there permanently. For the present,
however, he will hold the farm so as
to have something to come back to if
the coast country does not please
them.
There is one point where the
management of the state fair is lame
every year, and that is in policing the
grounds. The militia are all right in
their place, and in a way, but men of
experience are needed to protect the
crowds against pickpockets and con-
fdence crooks. The management
should secure the services of six or
eight experienced men, one or two
FROM the different large cities Of the
northwest. In that way every pro-
fessional crook could be recognized
at sight and put out of business dur.
ing the fair. As it was some of the
light fingered gentry were captured,
as in the case of Duane Munger, of
Erwin, who discovered a mar in the
act of taking his pockeibook. Duane
Immediately gave chase and ran the
crook into the arms of a m"ilitiaman.
But such an instance is rare. The
management owes it to the public to
aHOru Detter pfOtectlOn.
