X. Way has been appointed. We believe the change was made without the knowledge of the common herd. It seems that the Northwestern grain company has moved its headquarters to Britt, and hence Mr. Barrett's removal.

This annual banquet has now attained a state reputation, and prominent democrats from all parts of the state may be met at Gov.

Boies is expected to speak there this year, as well as other men of note. Quite a little delegation from Algona attended last year. Will there be one this year? The Milwaukee road is going to do a little building this year as well as the others. A St. Paul paper stated last week that the Milwaukee would build from Kimball, S.

D. into the Black Hills. The new road will run southwest from Kimball and will cross the Missouri between Chambelain and Yanktoti. Why they do not cross at lhamberlain and run up the White river valley is a problem that the Algona board of railroad strategy has not yet solved. But the board is holding some sessions now at which that question may be thoroughly elucidated.

The CouitiEii office was favored last Thursday with a visit from Miss Graham, the young lady who will soon issue a paper at Titonka.

He says if the thief does not bring back those things he might as well come and get the sheller.

And now the Wesley Reporter and News are consolidated, and will appear under the name of the News- Reporter. The picking was too thin for two payers there, and Mac very wisely sold out. Had it not been for a little circumstance here in Algona the Reporter might have taken a different method to give up the ghost. What Mac will do we have not learned. The latest railroad news received by our board of strategy is that the Iowa Central surveyors were working a few days ago on a line running south between Armstrong and Swea City.

And further that the Northwestern had unloaded on one day this week 100 car loads of steel rails at Jewel Junction. The board is digesting all this information at the present time. The postofflce fight has come to a head at last in Bancroft by the ordering of an election by Mr. Dolliver. The contest will take place next Wednesday and only republicans will vote, or in other worde it will be a contest between the best citizens, you know.

Some of the Needs of Algona for '99 Discussed, A Public Legal Library Suggest- ed by Judge Other Suggestions. The meeting of the Social Union Club to discuss the needs of Algona in 1899 was held last Friday evening, but owing to the absence of Mr. Meeker and Mr. Ingham those needs were not presented from the standpoint of the teacher and the editor. Judge Quarton responded to the text, "The needs of Algona in 1899 from a lawyer's standpoint." He said that Algona needed a modern first class hotel, that he had heard lawyers, to a distance of GO miles on all sides, speak of the Algona hotels as not being up to the times.

He thought all our hotel people were doing all they could with the facilities at their command, but still there was a demand for a house of a higher order than any that we have. The rest of his 'speech, which was quite lengthy, was devoted to the need of the lawyers and the application of the law. He spoke of the conflicting rulings of the supreme court of different states on the same point, and of the difficulty of foreign people to understand our legal system, citing the case of the Mafia murders in New Orleans, also discussing the killing of Judge Terry by Marshal Nagle in California etc. He spoke of the need of many books by lawyers, and thought if a public legal library could be established in Algona it would be a great convenience and a great saving to them as well as a great good to the people of the town who might visit it if they could keep quiet, and he knew no reason why they could not. He paid a compliment to the lawyers of Algona by vouching for their honesty, and as an evidence of his own confldencein them he had frequently, almost invariably, signed documents presented to him by them without reading them.

Only in one case were papers presented to him by some lawyer for submission to the supreme court that he refused to sign because they were so bunglingly and incorrectly drawn. Mrs. W. H. Ingham spoke of Algona's needs from a woman's standpoint.

Her-Idea was that more temperance and more religion were needed, and she presented her ideas in appropriate and elegant words and edifying sentiments. Suclcow talked from a minister's standpoint. He thought that the religious needs of Algona as to church ediflc.es expressed a year ago was now well supplied; also, if there was any demand a year ago for better preaching, he thought that too was well supplied. He said there was unity among the ministers of Algona, and that they held weekly meetings to discuss the religious needs of the people and the best means to bring them to a religious life. He would like to see the editors get together in friendly conference in that way to discuss problems of public interest.

He would also like to see" the doctors, allopaths, homeopaths, osteopaths and all the other paths get together and compare methods for healing the sick. The lawyers also mierh't get together. He thought they would be the next to follow the ministers. On the whole he thought Algona needed more religion, more men identified with church work. The men attend the churches fairly well, but are not closely enough identified with them.

Miss Ruth Suckow delivered a nice recitation and Miss Louise McCoy sang a solo. Before dismissing the audience President McCoy commended Judge Quarton's suggestion that a public law library be established, and it would be well to agitate the matter later on. Ills own opinion as to one of the chief needs of Algona is the observance of the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do un- you."
