Mower county, without doubt, is one of the most prosperous counties in the state. One cannot travel through a section without being impressed with the marked progress noticeable everywhere. A recent trip in Waltham township shows that section of the county 'to be exceptionally blessed with rich returns from her beautiful fields of grain, meadows and pastures. Ten, or even five years ago, there could be found eighties and forties lying idle, waiting a strong, diligent hand to till them or drain them. Many an acre was passed by as being worthless, or at least was not expected to repay the farmer's toil.

But today there is hardly a waste or useless foot of ground. The prairies now yield abundant crops of grain or garden products, and the sloughs and ravines have been converted into pastures and meadows. Neat farm houses and the necessary buildings for Stock and poultry can be seen on all sides as one passes along the graded highways. Churches and schools are being cared for and well attended One church hss just recently been built by the German Evangelical Lutheran Trinity church of Waltham. They are an active religious society and have therefore spared neither time nor money to make theirchurch what it ought to be: a noble and well furnished place of worship.

It is a credit to themseves and the entire community. The building is 36x60 in the main, with vestibule and recess for the altar in addition. The spire is ninety-eight feet high, with a fine bell of 1500 pounds in the belfry. The interior of the church is well finished and furnished. A spacious gallery on the entry end adds greatly to the fine appearance.

The pews are of oak and the altar and pulpit, of the same material, are very elegant. A sixtyinch reflector lights the church well. The approximate cost of this fine church is some $3,000. Much credit is due to the willingness and efficiency of the trustees and building committee in the construction of a church of such size and value at this moderate cost. These gentlemen are: Messrs.

Charles Schieck, A. Wiersig, Carl Borchardt and Herman Meyer. The church was dedicated on the 13th of October, with appropriate ceremonies. A very large congregation assembled in the morning and afternoon. The first sermon was by Rev.

A. Dubberstein of Wyckoff. The second by Rev. G. Rumsch of Claremont.

The third by Rev. A. Zich of Sutton (this in the English language). The present pastor of this church is Rev. H.

Meyer, who has now served here for two years and a half. Many other noticeable improvements through Waltham township have been made year and they are sure signs of thrift and prosperity. Wedding Bells. SH APLLSY-H ART. The home of Mrs.

Amy Hart of Varco was the scene of a large and joyous family gathering last Wednes day evening, occasioned by the marriage of heryounger daughter, Jennie Irene, to Will E. Shapley. The ceremony was performed by Rev. F. C.

They begin the new life on the Shapley homestead and are already settled in the new home. HORMEL-MILLER. At the home of George A.

I wish you good afternoon and abetter temper, my dear!" and the friend slammed the door behind her. There, were several other girls left, and they one and all began to condole with the girl who had broken her hand mirror.

But she was inooneolable. You see how it has acted already, and if there are to be seven years of it I shall just die, I know I shall! There, I've quarreled with Sue, the dearest girl in the world, and that's only the beginning Let me see where it's broken," said one of her ohums, as she picked up the oause of the trouble. "There's a fracture right through the length of the glass, but I don't know how it came there. I didn't drop it or strike it against anything. Seven years! Ain't it just awful?" Seven grandmothers!" exclaimed the other girl.

"That isn't a fracture. It's nothing but a streak of moist air. Look, I can wipe it off with my handkerchief!" "So it is. Oh, you dear thing! Run right after Sue and bring her back. Tell her the glass wasn't broken and we haven't quarreled after all! And the seven years are up already, and, oh, ain't I just thankful' Free Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonio and alterative is felt. A prompt use of the this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness, yield to Electric Bitters. 50c and $1 per bottle at Dorr Wold's drug store.

KENTUCKY HUMOR. Some Anecdotes of Humphrey Marshall, Soldier and Congressman. Edward J. MoDermott, in an artiole entitled "Fun on the Stump" in The Century, relates the following: Just before the war Humphrey Marshall Was a great debater in congress. Daring the war he was a Confederate general.

He was very large and a veritable Falstaff. At the breaking out of the war he wrote to an officer of the north and warned him not to invade the sacred soil of Kentucky, for if he did he would have to pass over the dead body of Humphrey Marshall. The north em officer replied: "Dear general, we won't pass over your dead body. We prefer to tunnel through." After the war the general had a good practice, but he was extravagant and often in need of money. Onoe he was dogged by- a collector who had been put off dozens of times.

At last the oollector said: "General, yon have said to me time after time: 'I oannot pay you this week. Come next' Now, I can't afford to be coming here all the tima You must fix the day. When will you be able to pay me?" it, sir," said the general, "do yon think I am a prophet?" When the general was running for congress against Mr. Blank, after the war, he tried to draw out Mr. Blank's exact opinions by a olose debate on the stump.

In such an intellectual conflict few men could oompete with Humphrey Marshall. Mr. Blank parried and fenced is well as be could. Finally Marshall said one evening in his ponderous tones and impressive manner: "Fellow citizens, I have tried to pin Mr. Blank down and make him give me a fair statement of his opinions and principles, but he flits about so nimbly that it is impossible tofollow him in an argument In dodging a debate he re minds me of a bobolink flitting along a zigzag worm fence, hopping or flying, first oil one side of the fenoe and then on the other, until the mind is bewil dered, and it is impossible to tell tin which side he is at moment" The U.
