Karl Bender, Of the winons
nelghborhood, who recently bought
1ne fagel place. a few miles from
Linton, moved there Wednesday Of
last week. His wife was sick and
could not be taken to her new home
until She recovered.
The infant child of Carl Bender.

The following publications have
Just been AIDED to the literature at
the Moose club-room: Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, Hampton's Magazine,
Popular Mechanics. The Horseless
Age. Railroad Mans Magazine. and
The Literary Digest. The club will
soon move into new and more COM
modious quarters, where separate
library and reading-room can be
provided.
Something more than twelve hun
dred dollars has been raised for
baseball purposes in Linton this
season, and there is more in sight.
The idea is to have club that can
hopefully tackle any of the semi
professional clubs up or down the
line, and it is expected that Linton
will have good sized bunch of
scalps in the way of games Won when
the season closes.
Our old friend, j. h. Brock, is
thinking of moving to the Pacific
coast, and offers his comfortable
house and ten acres of land for sale.
The place is just half-mile from
Unions downtown section. What
an ideal place it would be for some
family whose head is employed in
town and whose housemother likes
to keep two or three COWS and some
poultry. She could pay good
share of the family expenses. The
property. with present railroad
prospects for Linton, will in five
years increase a hundred per cent
over what its owner asks for it.
A phrenologist named Cozens who

Silence of bump examination APP
peared in the Turner Opera House
Monday night, before AN audience
of considerable size, when the sud-
denness of his coming is considered.
He examined the bumps of several
Lintonians and found sundry and
divers things which had escaped the
tine-tooth comb. Since the days of
the noted pioneer of psychologists.
Prof. Fowler. there have been good
many people who believe that GER
tain individual characteristics show
in hills and valleys on the surface of
the brain-tank, just as certain mus
cles are abnormally developed by
excessive use of the physical member
controlled by them.
An entertainment of high order
took place in the opera-house in Lin
ton Friday night of last week, the
same being an Evolutionary and mu-
steal program with Miss Agnes Lesh
of Aberdeen as the artist. The house
was not as we'll filled as it should
have been, but those who attended
were we'll paid-for attending. The
young lady is possessed of much
dramatic ability. Her posing, enun-
citation and naturalness all show
the carefully trained student, and
some of the selections as given by
her would be hard to excel. Two of
her selections We're from Ben Hur, 7
one of them the appeal of Iras to-
Ben Hur for MESSIAH. and the other
the curing by the Nazarine of the
leprosy of the mother and sister of
Ben Hur
Commissioner kurtz, of the Second
(Hazelton) district, sent in his resig
nation at the meeting of the board
this week. Andrew Hansen was the
unanimous choice for appointment
as Mr.. kurtz's successor. Mr. Han
sen was an early settler in Emmons
county. He is an intelligent and
enterprising man. honest and up
right, and by general reading keeps
posted as to current events. He has
certainly been here long enough to
know what is best for the people Of
the county From an acquaintance
with him of a quarter of a century,
the writer believes he will do his
whole duty inthe important position
of commissioner, and see that the
interests of everybody are consld-
cred, and not sacrificed to the de-
mands of few wealthy men who
have stand-in with the board. That
is all that anybody can ask. and
