WINONA, Minn., Oct. 13th, 1873.
Editor Advance
Everything here moves along in the even
tenor of its w»y no discordant notes grate
upon the ear not a ripple to mar the
smooth current of our city's prosperity.
Building is being rushed lively just at
this time. Several fine brick blocks are in
course of construction in our business cen
tre, and any amount of frame buildings in
different parts of the city.
The general health is good no calls for
Doctors.
We have had several fire alarms witbin
the last three weeks, engines promptly on
hand and the boys ready for business.
Only three buildings were consumed, how
ever, one a stable occupied by D. George,
aad another stable bard by also a dwell
ing, and saloonattached to the beer garden
in the South part of the town.
Our barbers hare lately had a war,
a relentless war! S. R. Knowles, (a Du
buque barber.) coming out ahead. He has
lately come here and is the best workman
in the northwest. The other barbers,
(with one exception), wishing to drive him
from the town, prosecuted him for shaving
Sunday in violation of the Sunday law.
The Jury brought in a verdict of not guilty,
declaring it necessary labor.
Temperance! temperance!! The ladies
of this city, in view of the terrible condi
tion of things, .as regards intemperance,
will hold amass meeting at the M. E.
Church on Wednesday evening next, to de
vise ways and means to save their hus
bands, sons and -fathers, from the drunk
ard's doom What is our nation coming
too Talk of railroad monopolies, of tax
ation, internal improvement. They all
dwindle into insignificance in comparison
with the temperance question! May a
breath from heaven sweep the valley of
Winona and bid the sleepers arise! God
bless the ladies, and may success attend
their efforts. SCRIBO.
WABASHA, Monday, Oct. 13th, 1673.
Weather fine. Wheat coming in slowly.
Financial situation all right. Merchants
piling up stacks of new boxes on the side
walks, must anticipate arousing trade—in
boxes.
Lucas Kuehn commences the stone work
of his new hotel this morning. Lucas
makes things get, whatever he undertakes,
and always has a few dimes over.
The Hoag's, Harry Holmes, and the
Riverside Mills, all are determined to have
a big pile of wheat—result tbe top notch in
prices.
Dr. Milligan performed a surgical oper
ation on a lad about fifteen years old last
Saturday, cutting down to the hip joint,
and taking out part of the bone. The
operation was witnessed by our whole med
ical fraternity, also by Drs. Axtle, of North
Pepin, Farigut, of Alma, and Pease, of
Menominee.
Our town is full of notables. Draco
Prince, Star of the West, Hambltonian,
Mary Lane, Dunn Jenny, Itasca, Lady Gray
and Gipsey uirl, George Smith and Gates,
with a number of lesser but still important
personages are stop#r|g/with us. They
will make a display of $sir speed on Wed
nesday afternoon on the fine track at this
place, for a pursers* a thousand dollars.
May the fine weather continue.
We notice little groups of persons fre
quently discussing the political situation
of our county, and when we look at them
we can tell by theircountenance what office
each would like to fill. Look out gentle
men somebody will be disappointed.
Judge Van Dyke is holding Court in Wi
nona.
Father Trobec is raising funds for a
new Catholic Church over $14,000 raised
and more coming.
Our railroad interest, merely on account
of financial troubles elsewhere, is quiet at
present.
Our Editor, Mayor and Council are de
voting the surplus fundsof the city to build
ing wagon roads so the good work goes
on and Wabasha prospers.
Yours, &c, B.

BUBGLABY—THE BUBGLAB CAPTUBED.—
On Sunday night, between one and two
o'clock, a burglar entered the house of
E. D. Brisbin, corner of Sixth and Bush
streets. Mr. Brisbin's wife not being
well, a lamp was kept burning, though
turned down Mr. Brisbin had just gone
to sleep and Mrs. Brisbin was also begin
ning to doze, when she aroused her
husband with the information that there
was a burglar in the room. Mr. Brisbin
immediately rose and saw the man in the
room and saw him leave by the kitchen
window, through which he had entered.
The burglar walked without foise.
Mr. Brisbin immediately dressed him
self and went down Bush street to Fifth
and there saw the burglar in company
with another man. He followed them
west on Fifth street and then went down
to Main street, where he found officer
Westby and they together walked up
Main to Broadway. In front of Mrs.
McGlashan's were the two men they
wanted, standing in the street several
steps from the sidewalk. Mr. Westby
arrested them and took them to the
lockup.
One of the men gave his name as
James McClure and claimed to live in
LaCrosse. He is a young man, short,
thick-set, and has very dark, coarse
hair and mustache. He had a gold
watch which he afterward threw out of
the window of the lockup.
The other man was younger and taller,
had yellow hair, small mustache and
light eyes. He said his name was Duffy.
In the morning the prisoners were
separately brought before 'Squire Hasler,
McClure being examined first. He asked
for no council and pleaded not guilty.
Mr. and Mrs. Brisbin were the chief
witnesses, Mr. Brisbin clearly identifying
him as the man he had seen in his house,
and his wife picking him out from several
others. Mr. and Mrs. Brisbin missed
four half dollars and a one-dollar bill (in
a wallet) and a ladies pin. E. C. Stevens
found the wallet empty near Mr. Weath
erby's, and the money was afterward
found outside ef the lockup, near the
door. The prisoner was held for trial
and committed in default of $500 bail.
Nothing was proved against Duffy,
except that he was in company with
McClure a few minutes after the robbery,
and he was discharged, but was made to
answer to a charge of being drunk. He
pleaded guilty, was fined five dollars,
couldn't pay it and was remanded to jail.

A WORKMAN at the lower lumber mill
had his arm broken by a timber which

WE hear that some of the Turners are
about organizing a Turners' Brass Band.
The more good bands the better.
T. G. PATCH, who lived in Red Wing
eleven years ago, called on Tuesday. He
is now City Justice in Owatonna.
THE Republican Senatorial and Repre

the Court House on the 27th.
REV. MB. MACLABEN, of Delaware, Ohio,
is temporarily supplying the Presbyte

ON Wednesday night of last week a
man named Gardner took a room at the
Hickman House. Two other men slept
in the same room. In the morning Gard
ner found himself alone and found his
money—no, he didn't find his money. It
was $7.25.
WE see by the tabular statement pub
lished in the State Statistical Report for
1872 that Goodhue county raised more
wheat last year than any other county,
namely 2,311,674 bushels. Next to this
comes Olmsted with 1,901,273 bushels.
Goodhue has also by far the largest
acreage of wheat in 1873.
OLD NO. 1 Engine Company have an
nounced that they will give a party at
Music Hall on Tuesday evening, 21st
instant. They are making every prepa
ration for a grand time, and Francisco's
band has been engaged to produce the
necessary atmospheric vibrations on the
tympanum. There will be a grand
parade of the entire Fire Department in
the afternoon. Tickets are only $1, and
everybody will be there."
LAST Friday Alek Hanson was duck
shooting on Spring lake, and having
killed some game was proceeding in a
boat to get it when some party unknpwn
shot him in the back of the head. For
tunately and strangely the ball did not
enter the skull, but passed round under
the right ear and remains lodged in the
flesh. The patient is recovering. Even
if accidental, the shooting is a crime
which we are sorry to believe will not be
punished.
Zumbrota.
ZUMBBOTA, Oct. 14.
We are now.having very beautiful
weather, and the threshing and plough
ing are going along finely.
This has been thus far with us a sea
son of unusual good health. Recently
however, a few cases of slight fever
have occurred.
Notwithstanding frequent rains, they
have not fallen in sufficient quantity to
affect the streams butlittle, consequently
from the low stage of water our mills are
not doing a full business.
Over twenty of our people, and nearly
all of them from the Congregational
church, attended the meeting of the
American Board of Foreign Missions, at
Minneapolis. Since which Rev. Mr. Bar
teau has given to his congregation a dis
course upon it, and our new S. S. Super
intendent, Albert Barrett, assigned to
each attendant as far as practicable some
feature of the great meeting, and one
session of the Sabbath school was de
voted entirely to it, together with a por
tion of the Sunday school concert. By
the deep 'interest and close attention
given to all these exercises it cannot fail
that much fruit in the cause of the
Master will be the result.
This week the first meeting of the
Goodhue County Musical Association
will take place in our village and will
give a concert on Thursday evening.
Doubtless it will be interesting, and I
shall endeavor to give a full account of
it next week. L.
Esdaile.

Correspondence of the Republican.
The Norwegian Lutherans began work
to-day on their new church building in
the village.
Work at the factory of Messrs. Betcher
& Alley goes on as usual, notwithstand
ing the panic. Their first shipment, a
barge load of hubs and spokes, was made
from Bay City this week. The machine
ry in this factory is first-class, and the
owners of timber may now look for a
market at this point for all the white
oak they wish to sell.
Building, to a moderate extent, is being
carried on in the village.
There are now four stores here, Betch
er & Alley's, Hiram Patch's, C. W. Ben
son's and Mrs. Bennett's. The trade of
the village is reported to have largely
increased the past year.
mm.
Cord wood is not abundant for the
winter's trade, but no doubt a great deal
will be chopped before next spring.
Mr. Cooper, tbe well known wagon
maker of Kasson, is buying his year's
stock at this point.
Our village is headquarters for the
Manitoba colony now being organized by
Messrs. Fairbanks & Carney. The reports
from that country being of a favorable
nature, there will probably be a large
number to join the colony in May next.
The gentlemen getting up the colony
personally examined the country to
which they are going, the last summer,
and say that the inducements are great
to settle on the other side of the bound
ary line.

AN INDIAN MOUND OPENED.—A few
days ago the men engaged in building the road
bed of the Green Bay and Winona railroad struck
an Indian mound near Arcadia. It had been in
view for some days, and no little speculation was
indulged in as «o what the excavation would de
velop from this cemetery of the red man. The
discoevry exceeded the anticipations. The skele
ton of an Indian was found of such dimensions as
to indicate that the frame must have been that of
a giant. The jaw bone easily enclosed the face of
the largest laborer to be fonnd on the work. The
thigh bones were more like those of a horse than
of a man, hair heavy and remarkably well pre
served. Pieces of the blanket in which the body
had been wrapped were taken out in a tolerable
state of preservation A number of Mexican
coins were also found. The unusual size of the
skeleton has excited considerable interest, and the
curiosities will be carefully preserved for exhibi
tion.- Winona Republican.
OI.E BANG, the old man who killed his
son at Austin, is said by the warden of the State
Prison to be crying most of the time, and to be
suffering terribly. He was intoxicated when he
committed the murder. Who can doubt that
death would be a kind and welcome relief from
Bach a hell of guilt, anguish and remorse
THE corner stone of the Episcopal
church in this village was laid with appropriate
ceremonies on Tuesday afternoon last. Unfortu
nately the ceremony was performed during a heavy
rain storm under umbrellas, yet it was well done,
and quite impressive, notwithstanding the unfa
vorable auspices. The new church will be rapidly
constructed, and when completed will be on orna
ment to the village.- Kasson Republican.
IT is a fact worthy of note that while
much of the corn in Iowa and Illinois, hundreds
of miles south oi us. has been ruined by early
frosts, the corn crop in Minnesota has scarcely been
damaged at all.

A CONVENTION of the farmers' of the
Northern States is called to meet in Chicago on
the 28d instant for the purpose of considering the
questions of cheaper transportation, a reduction
in the price of agricultural implements, and other
matters that may be brought before it. All the
granges, clubs and councils in the North are urged
to send at. least one delegate each, to be selected
from their most intelligent members. The call
states that the business of the meeting will be to
"discuss the prevailing overcharges in transporta
tion to incite and perfect the organization of the
agricultural and other industrial classes, who
chiefly suffer from these overcharges in every
State, Territory and Province of the country."'
HE yellow fever is still raging fright

city are indiscribably heattrending. The Howard
the Citizens' Relief Committee, the
Odd Fellows, the Masons, and the various charit

port is that they are in receipt of daily remittances
of funds from different cities, but. not enough.
