Cambria

The early frost has hurried or
the fall work and everybody is very
pleased with their crops. Z.
William w. Harris has built q
temporary residence previous to a
visit to California and return.
Mr.. Weed, the new blacksmith oil
the town, is having good trade and
the neighborhood appreciates his ex
pert work and he promises to be a
very desirable acquisition to the vi
cinity.
William w. Harris has disposed
of his business in the village OF
Cambria to the firm of Thomas &
John E. Thomas of Lake Crystal
who are also former boys of the
neighborhood. ..
The Rev. L. L. Griffith is an.
nounced to preach on October 13 at
Ottawa, LeSueur county, and Will
liam A. Griffith of Wisconsin is
announced to preach on the same
date in Salem Congregational church
in Cambria
This neighborhood was shocked
about week ago on account of an
accident on the railroad about half
a mile from the village, when ten
head of cattle belonging to a young
farmer, Byron Jones, were killed
nine outright and one having to be
shot. They were all terribly mutt
lated. 1t appears that the fence
abutting on the railroad was. broken
in some way and the cattle must
have all been standing on the track
when an early morning freight
train dashed into the herd. The
young man has the sympathy of all
in his loss.
Thursday was a high day in the
religious world around Cambria
When the district meetings of the
Welsh Calvinistic Methodist synod
of these parts, embracing from
Tracy, Mimi, to Lime Grove, Iowa,
their quarterly sessions. Many rev.
erend gentlemen and lay delegates
took part and the public meetings
were well attended and the sermons
were of high order The only
clergyman visiting outside of this
presbytery was the Rev. William C.
Rowlands of West Bangor, Pa. Hav-
ing been the former pastor of
Horeb church, where the sessions
were held, his visit was very much
appreciated, he having been sent
for to preach in these special serv-
ices, much was expected from him
and none were disappointed who

of the finest carrots ever grown.
They were perfectly white in color
and were of unusually large size.
Mr.. Austin said that they grew
so thick that there were four
across in most Of the rows. Mr.
Austin also had some sugar beets
displayed which were of excellent
quality and size. He has quite a
large field of this vegetable. Three
of the sugar beets he exhibited
taken together weighed % pounds.
Thus closed the Garden City fair.
The management and the exhibitors
worked under great difficulties this
year, the weather before the open
ing of the fair being so bad and
the weather during the fair being
so cold that it was rather unpleas-
ant But every one enjoyed a good
time and the exhibits were very
good. The association deserved very
great credit for giving the fair they
did with the difficulties under which
they worked.
The ball games both days were
played by Winnebago and Good
Thunder. The games were great
drawing cards and were witnessed
by good crowds. On Thursday Good
Thunder won with final score of

won by score of 8 to 2.

TALKED ABOUT TAXES

From Saturdays Daily.
The city council held an informal
meeting this morning for the pur.
pose of discussing the payment of
delinquent taxes. These delinquents
are mostly people who are out OF
town, and the discussion was chiefly
to appoint deputies to settle up this
business for. those who are away.
Some difficulty also arose about
some. lots in block 29 of Dukes ad-
dition. Two oe these lots, it seems,
have been sold and are nearly paid
for, but no deed has yet been given.
Arrangements were made, however,
to have the notice of the taxes now
due sent. to the persons who have
bought the lots.
A request from the Christian
church for a, rebate on their water
bill was also brought up but it was
decided to hold this over till Mon
day. rn. N

st. Peter, September 27.-No trace
has been secured of Christ Ander-
son and Anna Strom, the hospital
employees whose elopement created
sensation last week. They board
ed train for the twin cities Sep
tember Is, and have utterly dis
appeared.
It will be remembered that Ander-
son deserted his wife two days
after her arrival from Sweden. Evi-
tdence which has been obtained
since his departure shows that he
had long planned to abandon her,
and it is now believed that he in
tended to marry Miss Strom, des-
pite the fact that he was already
married. Only the week before he
rented rooms in the Klein dwelling
and had partially furnished the apart
ments. The departure of the pair
was so hurried that they left a
portion of these effects behind.
Last Friday two letters that An
derson had written were found
among his personal effects. One
was addressed to his wife and the
other to Victor Swenson, a fellow
employe in the criminal ward. The
letter to Mr.. Swenson directed him
to collect a number of small ac-
Icounts and turn them over to Mrs.
Anderson, while the one to his wife
was very brief, simply stating that
he could not remain in st. Peter.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Ander-
son took her two boys and left for
Brooklyn, N. Y, where one of her.
sisters resides. This means that she
will not appear against her tickle
husband, and that it will be prac-
tically useless to try to bring him
to justice.

Amboy Herald: A letter from Mrs.
Charles Baker of Eugene, Ore, to
the ]. E. Brown family contains
many interesting items concerning
the family and that city and vi
cinity We can only allude to a
few of the items in the letter. One
item refers to a Minnesota picnic
at which between thirty and forty
Minnesotans were present. They
came from all parts of this state,
good many, being from Blue Earth
county. To illustrate further the
great number of people. from Min
nesota located at Eugene, Mrs.
Baker mentions attending church
social where, seated at the same
table with her accidentally were
six people from Minnesota. The
Baker family has prospered since
leaving Amboy. They are now on
a fifteen acre ranch few miles
from town. 1t is very productive
and the property is quite valuable.

preliminaries consisted of shedding
their coats and each man dug a

stick the heel of his shoe in order
to get good hold. At the word
the pull commenced Neither side
showed any signs of giving in to
the other for some little time and
the crowd yelled and jumped around,
every one urging their side to vic
tory. But victory could not go to
both sides and finally the Garden
City men gave a mighty heave and
pulled the middle of the rope ac-
