Nearly European advices regarding the
INTERNATIONAL political situation were
fmore cheerful, and London bought
about $1,000 shares here on balance.
Whatever help was derived from this
source, however, was minimizod by the
persistent weakness OF long list of

WANDA WANDERINGS
Crowded out last week.


Miss Gertie Dederich of Wabasso
spent the weekend with her parents
here.
Mrs. Ada Wallraff spent Sunday at
her home in Tracy.
Last Sunday the ladies of the Cath
Ollie Order of Foresters served dinner
and supper in Mat. Eichten's Hall.
The afternoon was spent at cards.
John Schlumpberger, who came
home Tuesday to attend the wedding
of his sister, Miss Lizzie Weisensee,
returned to his school duties at Man
kato Saturday.
Friday night an interesting pro-
gram was given by the pupils of the
Wanda schools in Balfany's hall.
After the program basket lunches
were auctioned off by Val. Eichten.
The proceeds amounted to $4,000 and
will be used in fitting up the Domestic
science room in the new school build
ing.
School was suspended Tuesday in
honor of John Schwengler, who was a
member of the schoolboard and whose
funeral occurred on that day. The
other members of the school board
and the teachers attended the funeral
at Lamberton.
Edwin Eichten and Peter Ludwich

During the past week several Wan
da business men have been busy filling

Mr.. Dederich, who drives one of the
school wagons, had quite an exciting
time one morning last week when the
tongue of the wagon broke, piercing
the side of one of the horses and caus-
ing the team to run away. There
were only two children in the wagon
at the time and Mr.. Dederich succeed
ed in mastering his team before any
one was hurt.

MORGAN BOND ISSUE CARRIES
Big Majority Decides That Morgan
Shall Have Water-work's
System

It was by vote of IS to 80 that the
bond issued carried at the special cleo
ton Tuesday. The direct proposition
before the voters was the question
whether the town should bond itself
to the State of Minnesota in the sum
of $4,000, at the rate of four per cent
interest, for the purpose of installing
water works system.
{ Absolutely no question can be raised
as to the sentiment of the voters in
general upon the question. There
were 118 votes cast and out of this
number better than to favored the
proposition. There were even fewer
votes against the bond issue than had
been anticipated by those either for or
against.
No doubt the Village Council at the
regular meeting next Monday evening
will make application to the State In
vestment Board for the loan which
would be the first step to be taken,
even though it is only formal mat
ter, as further developments would de-
pend upon the approval of the loan by
the state officials. Very likely every
provision of the laws governing the
election were complied with in all par
ticulars and if so no difficulty should
be experienced in securing the money.
