Michael Anderson is preparing to build a new granary. Miss Gertie Bell is visiting in Minneapolis. Misses Martha and Bachel Hoidal are attending the fall term of school in Albert Lea. Peter Olson's team left him while coming lome from the city lately, and could not be 'ound though the country was searched near and far. After three days they were discovered, tangled in a thicket less than 40 rods where they started.

Peter says he will search near home first nest time. A Sunday school has been in operation during the last summer in the school house of Dist. S3. The interest shown by the people in this good work may he inferred from the fact that a regular attendance of more than 50 has all summer. FKTTHJOF.

NEWBY. We are having some north-poleiah weather this week. Miss Lizzie Keefe has returned to St. Paul. Mrs.

M. Keefe is an invalid and at times quite a sufferer from scrofulous sore feet and rheumatism. B. L. Gardner is building a horse barn 26x32 with 14 feet posts.

He gets the lumber of Branard Blooming Prairie. A. Leary is building a horse barn, and Herron is building a granary. Mrs. P.

McCormick of Austin is visiting friends here this week. Miss Maggie Keefe is visiting in Austin. It appears from political announcements that Albert Lea can furnish more wonld-be officers than would supply half a dozen counties. The fruit of the office treemustbevery indeed, as there is such a demand for it But the average tax-payer generally takes a different view of the situation, and as both parties know they are right, there isn't much use in discussing it. As J.

Brennan came from town on the '1st inst. he stopped at a school meeting, hitching his team to a tree.

They nave also about 80 head of the evil rooters, a number of horses, good cows, much poultry, about 75 young turkeys, which evidently iave shared the attention of Mrs. Fred --and yet I don't see how this could be, since it must take all her time to prepare such well directed suppers as we had the privilege of putting ourselves outside of. Do not neglect the teachers' meeting on Monday evening at the church.

Mrs. G. F. D. Bice, after several weeks' illness, most gently and joyfully departed this life ou Wednesday evening last.

She leaves a husband and three well grown children, aside from many friends, to mourn her loss. The Tiereaft family have our condolence. We had the pleasure of attending the quarterly conference at Gordonsville on Saturday evening last. P. E.

Liscomb was present and in the chair; the. usual routine of business was transacted. The subject of church building was brought up, whereupon Jacob Beighley announced that as a result of two or three he had succeeded in raising $600. The frost at this juncture put in its devastating and discouraging work, but notwithstanding all this, and owing to existing circumstances, the good people of Gordonsville concluded to go ahead with the building. To this end a board of trustees was elected consisting of S.

H. Beighley and J. W. Abbott. The building is to be of convenient size, costing about Rev.

SKELETON. The Bailroart i On Saturday morning last Supt. TJn- derwoM brought'to this city IW.D. ihame of Minneapolis, a civil engineer in the employ of the M. St.

P. road, ly ame ci engaged in surveying the'differenfpro- xsed sites for the bhops. There are four in nufnfier, as follows Jo. 1, east of the bridge across the Shell Bock; JIo. 2, west of that bridge and taking in the present water tank; No.

3, west of the C. K. crossing; 3fo. 4, east of the cemetery and apping on to 350.3, all being along the main line. Mr.

Underwood lias made a plat of what he wants on the east of the Shell Sock. It is a strip 150 feet wide on south side of the track, and one 250 teet wide on the sonh side, commenc- at the east end of the bridge and running thence east 2,500 feet, all of it jeing on Capt. Euble's land. According to this plat the round house and shops would be on the south side of track near the river, with the water tank and coal shed -on the same side. On the north side would be six tracks--three for east bound and three for west bound trains.

The plan takes in a good sized piece of the hill on Mr. Euble's land east of the grove which is fine gravel and w.ell suited for filling up the low land west of it where the yard and shops would'be. It is understood that Mr. Euble is wiling to donate this land if "it is selected, and that the parties owning the other proposed sites will do the same. The engineers were at last accounts engaged in figuring up the cost of grading and filling the different proposed we do not doubt that the eastern one wjll be finally selected, nor do we doubt that the removal will ultimately be made.

A Good Yield. Faribault Republican; Last w.eek J. E. "Wood of "Waleott, threshed his crop of Hungarian vin- ter wheat. The yield was twenty- eight and one-half bushels per- acre.

It weighed sixty-eight pounds to the measured bushel, but he thmks this unusual weight was due no small degree to the liberal sized half-bushels Used by Tluirston, the thresher The grain is very fine and plump, as appears by the sample left with us Mr. "Wood informs us that he has a halt-bushel of Scotch fife wheat saved from a volunteer growth from seec scattered in which lived over winter. He proposes to sow "this seed in a sheltered place, and experi ment in transforming it into a winter wheat. 'He states that the heads 01 the stalks (that wintered over were nearly twice'as large as those on tit same variety sowed in the spring, am the grain of a better quality. HEALTH-eiYING WATEB.

Such- water as that in some places, sell for 10 cents a glass, and invalids would go hundreds of miles to taste its health- giving qualities--if it were properly advertised. Indeed water has been sold for a barrel that didn't possess lalf of its richness of flavor.

And It TmowD to be healthy, too. The men a the yard have been drinking it for several years and by have some to like it. Men who have come there in poor health have grown as fat and sleek-as premium short-horns, giving the doctors the go-by, and it is noticeable that all those employed there are healthy and robust in appearance.

Instances enough are known regarding the curative qualities of this, water to have it analyzed and we believe a test would prove it equal to fine best medicinal springs.

The well is dug to the depth of "285 feet, and it is thought that by going further down a flowing well could be obtained. The Art Amateur for September contains forty capital rosette designs for wood carving by Benn Pitman of Cincinnati, a profusion of monograms and jewelry designs, several flower and figure designs for china painting'and two handsome designs for South Kensington embroidery. Fourteen notable pictures in the Munich and Amsterdam exhibitions are illustrated, and some striking illustrations accompany along and valuable account of the "Processes of Sculpture." An article on "Firing," by Miss Louise McLaughlin, should be read by every amateur china painter. There are also articles of particular interest on "French Picture Counterfeiters," "Errors and Anachronisms in Art," "Painted Woodwork," "Haunts of Collectors," "Antique Ivory Carvings," and a great variety of other topics. The Art Amateur admirably covers its chosen field, and no one interested in art, either pictorial or decorative can afford to miss its monthly visits.
