The crossing at the "slew" east of the East hike on the Suit it Lake road has been repaired. The triangular space between side tracks at the depot, has been set with Elm trees. I. Stone, Cornelius Johnson, Mrs. Maun, and, in fact, nearly everybody else are painting up their houses. Kev. Yv\ II. Mock had his shoulder dislocated a few days since by a htrse with which he was plowing corn. \V. 11.1J 'nnett, of the firm of Uennett & Stone, is an Alternte to the National Democratic Convention. The grasshoppers for a week past have been scattering through the piai rie grass, and letting the crops alone. ''Dey's mightily in de grass." One of our foreign subscribers wants to know "who is this man Dell?" He's tlie husband of the editor of the Jour nal. We learn that Mr. Phillips, father-in law to the landlord at Hersey, died suddenly, a few days since, of an apo plectic stroke. The husband of the lady who com mitted suicide at Graham Lakes last winter (Mrs. Dlackwell) died recently at Quincy, Illinois. There will bo a meeting on Saturday evening next, at the basement of the IT. C. Church, to hear the report of the Committee on Celebration of the Fourth. Dr. Craft was called to Sibley on Sat urday last to attend Sheriff Douglas who was tin own from a wagon and suf fered a compound comminuted fracture of the bone of one of his limbs. C. IT. Funk, of Elk, has set 11,000 trees ar.d 6,000 cuttings. 8,000 of the trees and all the cuttings are on his tree claim in Elk and the remainder on a tree claim on Section 2,103, 42. As showing the relative business at points along our road, we may mention that during one month the way bills numbered as follows: Worthington, 93 Sibley, 35 AVindom, 29. MILLINERY COODS. Mrs. M. J. Densmore has opened a Millinery Store on Tenth Street, ad joining the Furniture Store. Ladies invited to call. It The Ladies of the Presbyterian •Church will hold a SociaVnext Wednes day evening, June 14th, at the resi dence of Mrs. Thatcher.

S A W E I E S AND ICE CREAM— E I S OF E SEASON.—The La dies of the Union Congregational Church will hold a Stiawberry and Ice Cream Social at the basement of the Church on Friday evening (9th). All are cordially invited. Warren Smith, whose headquarters are now at Cincinnati, appeared sud denly on our streets on Monday, look ing a hundred years younger. Mr. S. came on to see about the grasshoppers and is glad to find them going into a decline. ORANGE MEETING. A full attendance is desired at the Worthington Grange meeting on Sat urday, as important business will come before the Grange. H. F. IIOVEY, Master. All desiring to talk up sheep matters sire requested to meet in Worthington next Saturday at one o'clock p. m. A N FARMERS. Some people are already inquiring whether the Show ought to come to such a moral place as Worthington. From all we can learn, the elephants in this show are moral, the babboons are virtuous and the animals generally'are above reproach. Excuse this weeks issue. We have been'pressed with job work among which is i\ little job of 6,000 large pos ters and some 20,000 circulars. This, with the large circus ad., precludes our usual quantity and variety of matter. The Journal goes way off where it isn't known for its puffs. We gee ours right around home. New York papers of June 1, brought by the fast train, were sold in Sioux City 011 June 3. SABBA THSCHOEL CONVENTION. There is a Nobles County Sabbath School Association, the Constitution of which requires that there shall beau Annual Meeting on the second Thurs day of June in each year. It is proba bly too late now to hold the Convention at the required time, and it has been suggested that it be held the fourth Saturday-in June. A number of per sons in the county interested in Sabbath School work desire to have the meeting held so that the county may come to gether, confer, and give a new impulse to this work. Will the schools of the county respond? It is desired that the schools of the county attend by schools and that a pic-nic dinner be one of the features of the meeting. The following are the Vice Presidents for the several towns: Bigelow—D. C. Holmes. Kansom—Mr. Gray. Indian Lake—llev. Frank Peterson. Lorain —Rev. C. Brown. Elk—T. L. Taylor. Graham Lakes—Mr. Chidley. Seward —J. P. Vail. Olney—It. C. Stillman. Dewald—Jonas Bedford. Little Hock —Geo. B. Aikin. Hersey—Miss Camp bell. Worthington—Prof. Humiston. THE GRASSHOPPERS. The hoppers have been inactive dur ing the past week. They are scattering through the prairie grass and do not seem to be eating. They have eaten off some fields in Graham Lakes, Hersey. and Seward, but from all the other towns we hear that little or no dunage has been done. They seem to be de moralized, and to have lost their appe tites. We hope this stomach derange ment, or whatever it i*, may continue. THE snow. Lest some one may overlook the mat ter, we call attention lo tho four-column card of Cooper, Bailey & Co.'s groat show. This is beyond question fche greatest show of the kind that ever ex hibited in Worthington. Moreover we are assured that it is a moral show. The live elephants, and all the animals 1 ave ecitiRoutes of good moial charac ter and ne\ or use intoxicating bever ages. The giraife comes of a family which has always stood high. The monke\s are all respectably connected, as we loam from Darwin. family should be without such a show. Chil dren teething should take it freely and frequently. Patties having scruples about 'iug, can accompany the chil dren. Those who have set uples about going to it menagerie can attend the circus, and vice versa. All tastes and consciences suited. A LITTLE STORY. The Journal is a great paper to tell I ice little stoties for children. In fact there is wheie its forte lies. In last week's issue it tells about a County Superintendent of Schools over at Sioux Falls who started a paper and just about run that other "old editor" out. "The reader," sajs the Journal, "may draw his own inferences." Now, we are not much at telling stories for children but we mustn't be behind the Journal in enterprise, so here goes: Once upon a time (in the year 187-5) an oittce holder and office-seeker away down in Watonwan County, in tlie gieat State of Minuesota, became of fended at (he regular and legitimate editor of the county newspaper, and started a paper of his own. The regu lar and legitimate editor of the county paper went about his bi siness rolling in subscriptions and turning out job woik. The editor of the illegitimate paper concinued to frantically beat about for business, but last spring he was compelled to give his olKce over into the hands of the regular and legit imate editor and "step down and out" in order to save his paper from an igno minious death. The lcatlcr may draw his own inferences. TEE VOICE OF THE FARMERS. A tanner fiom Pulaski County, Illi nois, who has been a subscriber to the A A N E for several years, writes: When I get there (to the Colony) you may count ine for the A A N E for it is what every paper ought to be, free, and not the organ of any ring. If a paper can be bought and sold, it is not worthy the support of honest people. If the farmers out there re what I take them to be, the ring paper will be short lived, unless they have plenty of money to throw away, for it cannot be made to pay if the farmers stick to you. Capt. Akins sends us a copy of the Oregoniau, published at Portland, Ore gon. Among the obit lary notices we find the following: In Clatskanie, May 5, Mary Emiline Olive, only daughter of Capt. Win. B. and E. B. Akins, aged 13 months. There are scores of friends in this county who extend to Captain Akins and his lady their sincere sympathy in this bereavement. COOPER, BAILEY & CO.'S SHOW. This colossal menagerie and circus will exhibit in Worthington on the 28th day of June. It comes heralded by the papers as really a great show of its kind. The Pittsbuig Dispatch says: The array is gigantic in its dimen sions, and bevond all parallel in the United States. It must have cost an immense amount of money. One might travel from the equator to the poles, through the wilds of the Asiatic, African, and American Continents, without seeing a tithe of what is pre sented here. The Sioux Falls Pantagraph of May 31 contains an obscene jest credited to the Worthington A A N E Whether this was done in the Pantagraph office or not. of course we cannot say, but the editor who will deliberately do a thing like that is infinitely more of a blackguard than the obscene jester of the street, and ought to be kicked out of the newspaper business., Wonder if this is one of the "improvements" dis covered in the Pantagraph by the edi tor of the Journal? Somebody wants to know whether Michael C. Kerr is an Orpheus C. Kerr. Looks like it, since he's the S. P. E. A. Ker. t'vg^-e-£!Wfe,vt-».-jcj.7I-» 1 ^y?S^fe^Si^-»!a*«St^SW»~S»,! DEWALD ITEMS.

Mr. Borland, of Iowa, is expect ed here soon with quite a flock of sheep and will go into- wool growing. D. C. Holmes is beginning an operation in blooded stock. He has now a young short horn bull. UB1GEI O W ITEMS. John Archer has recently brought on lo head of cattle and is preparing to go into stock raising to some extent. Capt. E. S. Mills has been down to Johnson County, Iowa, and has brought on a number of cattle for Messrs. Reynolds, Twitchell, Ilerdic, and for II. Morey, who lives just over the line in Osceola. Capt. Mills has brjught on for himself a fine short horn bull. Mr. Morey takes about IS he.ul. These are from the herd of Mr. Borland, near Iowa City, Iowa. The Bigelow cheese factory is now running and is using fiom 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of^milk per day. The factory expects to use the milk of oyer 100 cowrs. Among those furnishing are B. F. Congdon, 1G to 20 cows D. Twitchell, 12 to 1G II. Morey will furnish 15 to 20, and J. Archer 13 to 14. ELK ITEMS Wheat looking fine. Corn coming on beautifully with a prospect of showing that this is a coin country after all. Grasshoppers are scattering over the prahie grass and doing little harm to crops. Farmers in good spirits at the prospect. People are generally turning attention to stock and a cheese factory is talked of. M. L. Miller has 16 to 20 head of cattle and three yoke of oxen. J. It. Ashwoith milks three cows and sells about 20 pounds of butter a week. T. L. Taj lor milk 4 3 or 4 cows and sells a good deal of butter. Henry Baldwin is preparing to buy 200 head of sheep and go into wooTgrowing. There are four schools now in opera tion in Elk, taught as follows: Mrs. J. C.

Bigelowites are arranging to celebrate the Fourth of July in their usual quiet way. It is proposed to have a chil dren's picnic during the day, base ball, croquet, swings, etc., for the benefit of the public, and a Grand Centennial Concert in the evening, consisting of Choruses, Quartetts, Trios, Solos and appropriate Tableaux, in costume of 1S70. Particulars will be given next week. E. S. Mills, T. D. Twitchell, P. T. Beynolds, W. W. Ilerdic and II. C. Morey have on the way from Iowa City, Iowa, 54 head of fine grade cows and two full blood Durham shorthorn bulls. John Archer has made recent addi tions to his stock of cows. With thesW, and other additions made this season, the success of the cheese business is established. We will allow Worthing ton to be the Chicago but we intend to be the Elgin of Minnesota. Wo also have the terminus of the branch road in our town, although it leaves this road nearly 5£ miles from the village. But this is not intended as a snub to Bigelow, as all freight will stop here—that is consigned to this point, likewise tlie pssengers. Mr. James Barrett returned to New York last Tuesday, after visiting friends here and in the eastern part of the State. He pronounces this the finest country he has yet seen. & BiqELOW. MINOR A RRIVA LS. At the residence of D. K. Gordon, in Ransom, on the 30th of May, a little female settler. Also at tlie residence, of John De Boos, iu Bigelow, same day, a daughter.

Mi\ Olin's letter to Mr. Ames on sheep raising, recently published in the A A N E has been copied the Far mers' Union and other papers and is going the rounds. That's the kind of literature we mean to,, furnish the public. 4 Capt. Blakely, of St. Paul, has taken 11,000 acres of land in Rock County. He will break 1,200 acres this season. O. A. It.- THANKS.' WORTHINGTON, June S.'ISTO,, At the meeting of Stoddard Post on Saturday, June 3d, the following reso lutions were unanimously adopted:"f Resolved, That the thanks of Stod dard Post are hereby cordially extended to the citizens of Worthington and No bles County for their assistance in the observance of Decoration Day. Resolved, That it copy of the above resolution, be furnished the publishers of the A A N E and Journal for in sertion in their papers. L. B. E N N E Post Commander. MONS GRINAGER, Adjutant. The WOUTIIINGTON A A N E in speaking of the grasshoppers of that vicinity, has fallen into a very common error iu mistaking the shell which that insect sheds at certain stages of its ex istance as the carcasses of dead hop pers. It reports the ground iu some places as "literally covered with car casses, the breasts and 'inards' seem ing to be eaten out." This is all a mistake, and really is the first shedding process through which the insect passes in its development. If our friend of the A A N E will only investigate the matter he will find that immediately after casting off the shell, the little hopper has a greenish appearance.— Mankato Review. We think, however, that our farmer friends were not mistaken as to the carcasses in this instance. Both Mr. Haggard and Mr. John Saxson, of In dian Lak*», say that the hoppers have died in large numbers and have disap peared rapidly from their farms. Our impression is that the grasshopper casts its shell just before it is ready to fly. The carcasses brought us were not over of an inch in length. Can a farmer make it pay notwith standing the grasshoppers? is answered by A. O. Lofstedt, of Indian Lake town ship. Ha came here four years ago from Allamakee County, Iowa, with a team, a wagon and two cows. He sold one cow to i)uy a cook stove, and with his sick vwfe began to improve his claim. Now he has a farm largely un der cultivation, has a quantity of stock, a reaper, a thresher and some other machinery and his wife has regained her health. His lowest average of wheat was 9 bushels and his highest 18 bushels to the acre. On Tuesday afternoon we had a visit from one of the G. Il.isshopper family. He came in the front door, deliberately jumped up on our table, rubbed his hands tog ther, and said just as plainly as a hopper could, "Now what did you put that in the paper about us for?" The Republicans of Illinois have done themselves credit in nominating Andiew Shuman, managing editor of the Chicago Evening Journal, for Lieu tenant Governor. The office sought the man, as he never was the man to seek office, nor to manipulate any conven tion in his own interest. Dr. Wmrw7"liali7editoi of Hall's Journal of Health, who has probably done more than any man of the age" to teach people how to preserve health, dropped dead in New York the other day from apoplexy, induced, it is thought, by over-woik. So he died a martyr tiying to save others. Unless one knows all about tho mean nesses of th3 little ring that controls and dictates to the crawling clinging fawning sycophant who occupies the chair in the filot office, it is hard to determine just what is meant by the scandalous manner, etc.—Palo Alto Repoiter. Bear down on them, brother Jenkins. But didn't you make a mistake when you said "Pilot office?" Don't you mean "Journal office?" We are indebted to J. II.

On Monday last, the Central Railroad of Minnesota, passed into- new hands. Mr. W. C. VJUI Horn, is now tha gene ral manager for the lessees, who are understood to be the Southern Minne sota Railroad. It is said, that through cars will be run to La Crosse in the course of a week. We await particu lars, which will unquestionably appear in due time and in official form. The gratifying rumor is abroad that the floating indebtedness of this road, much of which is held in this city, will be paid at an early day. A tall events, this would seem to follow as a natural stquence, and we take stock in the rumor.—Mankato Union. The fast train from New York to San Francisco made some good time between Chicago and the Pacific. Among the runs were: 21 miles in 2 minutes 45 miles in 41 minutes 75 miles in 77 minutes 14 miles in 11 minutes. LITER A NOTICES.
