Building Material.

Mr.. w. H. Colvert has opened
granite quarry on c. L. Merry's place
just east of town, and is taking out
as fine a quality of building stone as
can be found anywhere in the state.
He has supplied himself. with derricks,
drills and crow-bars and all the neces-
sary appliances for quarrying and the
supply of stone is inexhaustible, so
that he will be able to furnish all the
building material of this kind that
may be required even though it be to
build city. In addition to his oper-
alton of quarrying stone, Mr.. Colvert
will manufacture several hundred
thousand bricks this summer. He in
tends to keep brick and stone on hand
so that if material is wanted for a
business block or any kind of build
ing, he will be prepared to furnish it

of the rash act is mystery. Mr.. and

her brother. Mr.. Kitzka at once went
to his home, only block away, where
he found the body of his wife. Physic-

Mrs. Kitzka had probably been dead
at least two hours. Mrs. Kitzka was

evidently been dead since Saturday
evening. Saturday evening Nicholson
had borrowed the rifle, saying that he
would go out and shoot gophers. He

plain that he deemed an inquest I'M

notified and will go up and take
charge of the body.

OSAKIS
(From the Review

The brilliantly lighted dining room
at The Idlewilde with its plant and
floral decorations, its twenty or more
tables with seating capacity of 1875,
its orchestra, it's soloists and its effic-
lent corps of walters many of whom
were volunteers from among the high
school girls, made the First Annual
Banquet of the Osakis Commercial
Club which was attended by so of its
members and their ladies, a scene
that is not unusual in the large cities,
but one that is not often possible in
the smaller towns owing to the lack
of hotel facilities. The service, menu,
musical program, decorations and
lighting, would have done credit to a
large city, and the toasts were full of
the booster spirit, the gospel of CO.
operation and the belief in a bigger
and better Osakis. II
