R. MALLETTE. Town supervisors meet at the town clerk's office on Saturday, October 8th, for the transaction of any business that may properly come before the board. The dance at Cone's hall, Friday night, was an orderly affair and well attended. The Catholic ladies furnished the refreshments for the benefit of their church, and cleared the snug sum I Come and see our new stock of goods just received.

We can fit you out in anything you want, as our stock is complete and can suit you as to price and quality. D. G. CHISHOLM Co. Peter Reddi, a young Polander living near Oak Park, had one of his hands pretty badly mashed while moving cars at Foley Bros' mill at this place last Wednesday.

He was immediately taken to Oak Park and Dr. Dimler dressed the wound. The town supervisors have had the bridge over Estes Brook, below Mr. Chisholm's place, lengthened out, new planking put on and the approaches fixed and graded up. It is a good job andis reflects credit on the parties who had the work in charge.

Forest fires are raging between the two rivers on the north side of the railroad track. There is an unusually heavy growth of vegetation in the woods this year, and everything being bone dry, great damage will be done to property by these fires unless rain comes soon to quench them. Milton Morse, Wm. Sawyer and J. S.

Orton are the latest arrivals from Dakota, where they have been at work harvesting and threshing. Wages are not as good out there this fall as was expected on account of a great surplus of hands, and the boys think they can do better at home. Had they arrived at this conclusion a little earlier in the season it would have been money in their pockets. D. C.

Brown, of St. Cloud, formerly of Oak Park, was in town a few hours Saturday. Dave met with a serious accident in C. Bridgman's mill at St. Cloud about six weeks ago whereby he lost the fore finger on his left hand, on a shingle saw, while the other fingers on the same hand were badly cut and torn.

The hand is nearly healed up now, although he will not be able to do any work for some time yet. All goods sold away down for cash or farmers' produce. G. CHISHOLM The school officers have secured Cone's hall for a primary department. Seats and been ordered and are expected to arrive this week and as soon as they can be placed in position the school will be divided, and thesoldier's juveniles will hold forth in Cone's hall under the supervision of Miss IdaKerrick, of Estesville.

This will lighten the burden of the teacher, Miss Larkin, and prove a great benefit to the scholars, as the present school is much too large for any one teacher to do justice to them all. An old lady 78 years of age, who lives about three miles from the village with her son-in-law, Mr. N. Waxmuth, left her home about 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon to go berrying. At dark she had not returned and a searching party of twenty men started out in search of the old lady.

They hunted the woods all night and until about noon the next day, when Chris. Waxmuth found her about five miles from home. She had passed the night in an old barn near Robert Ayers' place, and when found was still traveling in an opposite direction from home. MILACA ZEPHYKS. MAILS arrive from Foreston, St.

E. D. Warren preaches his farewell sermon next Sunday. Go and hear him. Heavy frost the last few nights.

Get your cellars ready for storing winter vegetables. Postmaster Head, of Princeton, looking through the post offices in this vicinity this week. Trade seems to be picking up a little in our burgh and our merchants are preparing for a big winter's business. Our old friend Thos. Kerr will move into our village in a day or so.

Tom says he wants to be where he can watch us. Petitions are common nowadays. What's the matter with getting one up to have a post office in every confectionery store in town? Everyone is satisfied with the nominations made at Little Falls last Friday, and the settled conviction is that we are going to elect the straight ticket. Report comes that J. P.

Mitchell is to come back to our town and engage with the Mille Lacs Lumber Co. again. We told you J. that you would never leave Milaca. We think there will be no kick coming on the nominees for county offices put up last Tuesday by the county convention.

All the nominees on the ticket will go out of Milaca with from 25 to 75 major- Several of the boys who went to Dakota to work have returned. They report that country not altogether a paradise.

THE JACKASS, THE SOW AND THE DYNAMITE. Edgar Strang came home from FRATERNAL GREETING Fort Mead, S. last week where1 perience in the United States army, and thinks that after all a life is not an extra pleasant one.

Mr. Sylvester and wife returned last Wednesday from their western trip. Mrs. S. said to the reporter "I have seen many nice places and many that were hot so nice.

he knows what he talks about and promises nothing but what he means to perform. Jim Ward was down, Monday. He says they have raised a splendid crop of potatoes at their Warrendale ranchthe best tubers in Mille Lacs county. How is this for land of which it has been said time and again that it was worthless for farming purposes? These old pine lands will yet prove to be the most productive of any in Mille Lacs county. On Monday an extra train caused afire to start off the track about half way between our town and With the wind blowing as it was it soon spread and traveled several miles before night.

We understand that the heavy dew last night has checked it and perhaps put it there is no fain until the grass gets thoroughly dead, we may look for more serious fires. Gen It is amusing to note the vigor with which the fleckless Sage of Nininger assails the wheat robbers. In magnificent repudiation and forgetfullness of all former intimacy between him and them, he now thrashes around blindly and blunderingly in an effort to advertise his virtuous hostility toward these pests of the commonwealth. Not in this connection, particularly, but merely by chance, the Globe discovers an interesting item of local information in the columns of a rural exchange. It seems that some unused dynamite cartridges were carelessly left over night in afield where stump blasting had been in progress.

An elderly member of the swine family, feminine gender, happened along, and, true to her omniverous instincts, swallowed the cartridges. In this same pasture was wont to graze a scion of the jackass family. The sow and the mule were good enough friends when it paid, but on this occasion, whether it was that the mule resented the sow's appropriation of the entire measure of dynamite, or whether casus belli intervened, certain it is that a most violent altercation arose between the two. Finally the mule essayed, in his own characteristic way, to repulse the sow. After the explosion nothing was seen of the sow, but fragments of the mule were found at the bottom of a fifteen-foot hole in the ground.

Suppose we assume this dynamite to be wheat-ring booty and Minnesota the pasture. The Refarms publican party is the old sow, of course, and Mr. Donnelly will feel at home in the role of jackass. After tho explosion on 8 the fragments will be taken up in a hovc4 Paid Globe. Weaver.and Mrs.

Lease Mobbed by Georgia Democrats. The Populist Candidate br President and His Wife Rotten-Egged. Where is the Fraternal Feeling that Messrs. Donnelly and Fish Tell Of? ATLANTA, Sept. Weaver has written a letter to the People's party national in which he says: I find the spirit of organized rowdyism at some of the points visited within Georgia so great as to render it inadvisable for me to attempt to fill the engagements at the points not already reached.

Personal indignity was threatened at Waycross, but was suppressed by the attendance of a large number of our friends. At Albany we met a howling mob, which refused to accord us a respectful and uninterrupted hearing. At Macon the eonduct of the mob which greeted our advance into that city was disgraceful beyond description. Rotten eggs were thrown, prior to the introduction of the speaker, one of which struck Mra Weaver on the head. Eggs were thrown repeatedly during the continuance of the mob, turbulent crowds continued to howl and hoot until past midnight.

At Atlanta a similar crowd of rowdies gathered at the point of meeting, bent on tumult and disorder. Learning of this Mrs. Lease and myself refused to appear, either in the forenoon or in the evening. I am convinced that similar treatment awaits us at the points not visited. I decline to meet such StsS3PRISEl ST.

LOUIS, SPENCER BROOK ITEMS. SPENCER BROOK, xq -a Sept. 27.Chairman Taubeneck, of the People's party national executive committee, was to-day shown Gen. Weaver's letter regarding his campaign in Georgia. After Mr.

Taubeneck had read the letter he appeared to take the situation as a matter of course, and merely exclaimed: Oh, I am not surprised. I have been looking for it all along, and as it has come, I am prepared to stand it. The reaction will come on the 8th of November, and I am positive that Weaver will carry the State, if not by a majority, a plurality. I do not care to discuss the matter further, as it is a very unpleasant affair, and it will do no good or repair the harm already done. Sept.

27,1892. But very little plowing is being done this fall as it is getting too dry. Nice weather for other work. Quite a number of the Brook people went to Princeton last Saturday night to hear Nethaway and Gillen talk. The Hon.

D. M. Clough spent a couple of days in town last week looking after the interests of his stock ranch. Walker Bros, drove 225 sheep below last Monday, and C. G.

Richardson took out another drove, Tuesday. Chapman Lundene are threshing in the town of Wyanette and are doing excellent work, and are also getting their share of work to do. Your correspondent at the Brook is getting to be a poor excuse for reporting the news. Byeand-bye, when we have less to do, we'll hunt around for what little there is. Lem Turner is having his house finished preparatory for cold weather.

It looks as though Lem would some time become a granger as he has one of the best around here. J. R. For Sale One stove and one first class fanning mill. Will take cord wood or farm produce for same.
