—Henry Keller has been absent all the week giving his time and attention to his new flax machine. He has demonstrated that it will do its work satisfactorily. He has gone to Tennessee to make a practical test of it there, where a vast amount of fiber is produced.
—John D. Jones was in the city on Wednesday, on his return from St. Paul whither he went to purchase a good driving horse. He has a beautiful animal, bright bay, with black mane and tail, weighing 1150 pounds, a good traveller and as kind as a kitten.
—Casey and Smith have leased the old Pendergast hall, and it is being fitted up for their book-keeping department. Sky lights have been put in, and it has been divided into rooms. This will give much needed additional room. The summer normal school will commence on June 15th, and the indications are that it will be very largely attended.
—Frank Carr has received a letter from his father, who is in the woods northeast of Duluth, stating that he had captured a baby moose, which he will send home in the course of a few days. The moose, like the buffalo, is becoming so scarce as to be a rarity. Long deferred game laws have been enacted for its protection which ought to be enforced.
—Dr. Curryer, while in town, took great interest in looking over a number of fine colts. The Doctor is a horseman from the foundation up. He took no little interest in Hazard Grant—the Hickman-Lofgren stallion, and his progeny. He was a member of the last legislature and the author of the famous Curryer railroad bill, which failed to become a law.
—There was a baby cyclone over at Frank Hine's place the other day. It tore hay-stacks to shreds, picked up bricks and boards and hurled them hundreds of feet, and alarmed the people very considerably. It was a right smart whirlwind lasting about ten minutes, traveling westward and was finally lost in the timber. No assessable damage was done.
—Louis Anderson, of Little Sauk, had a shed and a lot of feed burned last week, which was quite a loss to him. A. H. Hendrickson, of Kandota, also met with misfortune in the loss of his barn and a lot of hay last Saturday. He fought the fire till he gave out and then lost his barn. His friends here will regret to hear of his loss.—[Argus.
—C. E. Parker has moved with his wife, into the fine house on the Ashley farm recently purchased from Mr. Beidleman. The house has been thoroughly overhauled and repainted, and there are few more attractive residences in the county. Mr. Parker and wife are now "at home" to their scores of friends.
—William Fuller returned on Saturday from a visit of several months in California, his wife accompanying him. His parents are residing in San Jose. He likes that country very well to visit, but prefers Minnesota, as a residence. He saw the Bates family, all of whom are doing well. Mr. Lashbrooks and son have removed from California to Oregon.
—A dog belonging to Michael Lynch attacked the young son of Mr. Johnson, of Johnson Bros., and bit the little fellow in the calf of the leg. The child was walking along quietly with his mother, when the dog sprang at him from underneath a wagon, and bit him without warning. Mr. Lynch deplored the occurrence and made what amends he could by shooting the brute.
—Next Monday quite a delegation of Odd-Fellows will attend the grand lodge at Owatonna, leaving here on Monday morning. M. C. Kelsey will attend as delegate from this lodge, C. M. Sprague as grand representative, R. T. Greene as grand conductor, S. M. Bruce and William Scherffius as past grands.
—Arthur Lyman and Myron Smith had three prairie wolf pups in town the other day, about the size of full grown cats, and they were as playful and spry as kittens. They were dug out of a hole in the ground between this city and Lyman prairie. Their scalps have a bounty value of five dollars each.
—Fred Mann, son of F. W. Mann of Devil's Lake, formerly of this city, who has been spending the winter in Chicago, in the real estate business, has been in the city during the past week. Fred is a fine type of young manhood, both physically and morally. He stands six feet two, well developed, and is a striking looking young man.

—Chas. J. Judge and wife, arrived in the city on Tuesday, on their wedding tour, visiting friends here. Mr. Judge, formerly of this city, now a member of the Minneapolis bar, was married on Thursday of last week to Miss Frances L. Hall of Minneapolis. The congratulations of Sauk Centre friends attend them.

—Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. Cleveland of this city, a very pleasant reception was tendered by the Epworth League to the Misses Keene, Ritter and Wagner, of Monticello. As mementoes or souvenirs of the occasion elegant copies of Milton, Tennyson and Wordsworth were presented them.

—Sam Simonton returned from the pacific coast on Thursday of last week. He visited Oakland, San Jose and other California points and met a number of former residents of Sauk Centre. He went up into Oregon and visited his brother at Van Sickle, returning by the way of the Northern Pacific road. He enjoyed his trip greatly but was not sufficiently impressed with the country to desire to make it his home.

—One of the leading Boston produce dealers has been handling butter from the Spring Brook Creamery, and not only lists it as fully equal to the best Elgin butter, but pays full top prices for it. There is no better butter in market. The butter market at present is full of all grades, and prices are accordingly depressed. The creamery will pay twelve cents per gallon for cream after next Monday, until further notice, and sell butter at the factory at sixteen cents per pound.

—Rev. C. E. Blodgett delivered a very pleasant sermon on Sunday last to the Grand Army Post, and a large audience in Memorial hall, appropriate to the occasion—Memorial day. He dealt at length upon the fame and achievements of the great military leaders of the world, and especially of the rebellion. He drew the lessons of the great anniversary celebrated with the high moral application to the living. It was an excellent address, well received. He was assisted in the services by Rev. C. W. Lawson.

—Fred Williams returned to Seattle on Tuesday. He sold a piece of property at Glenwood, and his saloon building in this city, Orange Mattison being the purchaser. Mr. Williams says that a man named Dedrich, formerly an employe of Andrew J. Smith, organized a surveying party to go into the mountains, hired a number of men, purchased goods and borrowed money right and left, making great pretensions of being backed by capital. When pay-day came he skipped out for Canada with what he could take with him and left his creditors to wonder how he had managed to work them so slickly.

—On Sunday evening Rev. J. F. Hamilton delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the high school. He took for his text the verse in St. Peter's epistle which says: "Add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge." It was a forceful address upon the value of knowledge, not to the individual only, but to mankind at large. His address to the class, a personal application of the principle involved, was exceedingly fine. It was a sermon long to be remembered, not by the graduating class only, but by every member of the large congregation present.

—Dr. Donnelly, veterinary surgeon from Owatonna, has been in Douglas county the past few days examining glandered horses. In the town of Orange he condemned four and isolated two for Henry Johnson and his brother and condemned two and isolated two for their father in Alexandria. This makes nine horses that the Johnson brothers have lost within the past year from glanders, and it is a hard blow on them financially. It is also said that one of the sons died last fall from a suspicious disease which our local physicians termed blood poison.—[Osakis Review.

—R. T. Greene met with a serious loss on Monday evening of last week. His handsome driving horse Prince, while hitched to a post on Elm-st., had the misfortune to cut his face quite badly, and Dr. Hunt was called in to repair the injury. The animal was thrown, and just as the operation was finished, he struggled terribly to regain his feet, and in some unaccountable manner, probably solely by muscular action, fractured a leg close to the hip joint. The location of the injury was such as to make relief hopeless, and the horse had to be killed. While the cash value was considerable yet it was as a pet that Prince was especially valued.

—Dr. Lewis returned on Saturday from El Paso, Texas, whither he had been called by telegram on account of the serious illness of his wife, bringing her with him. She had been visiting California points, and had returned to El Paso, where she was taken down with dysentery, which reduced her very rapidly. The Doctor arrived there in the evening, and hurriedly packed everything in order to get away at the very earliest opportunity. Traveling homeward by easy stages in drawing room cars, he brought her through very comfortably until he reached St. Paul, the balance of the journey being far more trying than all that had preceded it. She was very much exhausted when she arrived here, but it is hoped she will rally.

The residence of Hans Erickson in the town of Gordon caught fire last Sunday morning in the roof and burned with all its contents, the occupants barely escaping with the clothes they had on. This family has had its full share of misfortune the past year or two. It was only a little more than a year since this was a happy family. The father sold some of his personal property and in company with his older sons went to the Pacific coast. He came back after a few months and not long afterward his wife was killed by the cars at Osakis, as will be remembered by our readers as occurring last fall. Along in the winter the father sickened and died, leaving quite a family of children. The boys came back from the west—and took charge of the farm to make a living for the younger children, when they are overtaken with this misfortune in losing their home. —[Argus.
