We have not received the usual no tice of the village election, but theat lists are up for the usual Spring elec tion on Tuesday next. Neither have we noticed any call for a caucus, fcut we hear a general desire expressed for a peoples' caucus and a peoples' ticket. In this we can heartily concur. The Village Council should be composed of men who are property holders and tax payers and who have a practical knowl edge of our needs. The next Council will be an important one in our history as we have reached a point where im portant improvements will be demand ed and they ought to be judiciously made. So far as we have heard any ex pression, it has been in favor of re-berger. electing the present Council. They are all pretty heavy tax payers and not dis posed to involve the village in any needless expense while they are practi cal, public spirited men and will not pull back when any needed improve ment is suggested. Some of them are not friendly to the A A N E but if the people should nominate them again, we shall ndd our mite toward their e lection. All we care for is to have prac tical tax-p-tying men on the board. Whatever changes are made let us have no fogies nor pull-backs, but live men. MILLER BROTHERS. Elsewhere appears the advertisement of Miller Brothers, who are now open ing their new Furniture Store on Ninth Street. They are young men, practi cat workmen, thoroughly skilled in their business, and are supplying a long-felt want in the community, since they will supply carpeting, bedding, pic ture frames, etc., as well as every grade of furniture. Besides furniture, they will deal in Farm Machinery of all kinds. Also in Boats and boat supplies. They propose to sell at Chicago and St. Paul prices and we bespeak for them a good business from the start. McMANUS HOUSE. We noticed in a recent issue the fact that Mr. McManus, of Rochester, hadbles—J. purchased the Farmers' Hotel building and grounds of C. B. Langdon. Mr. McM. has arrived and is now busily en gaged in reconstructing the premises, E. It. Humiston having the contract for the work. The building is to bely raised 18 inches and radically Recon structed. A addition will be built to the wing, a porch attached to the front, the inside re-arranged and such im provements made as will make the Mc Manus House a first-class hotel. A large barn will also be built. The fur niture was purchased at Rochester and is new and of the latest styles. Mr. McManus has had experience in the business and ''knows how to keep a hotel." COURT. Besides the liquor cases, mentioned elsewhere, the following State cases have been tried: State vs. A. Anderson, bastardy, ju-you ry disagreed. State vs. Isaac Hoag, attempt to commit rape, verdict guilty, sentenced to State prison for three years. Other cases disposed of are: Millington vs. Chute, verdict for De feudent. Jones vs. Town, verdict for Plaintiff. Rickley vs. Hollis, verdict for Pltff. Village of Worthington vs. H. D. Humiston, verdict for Defendent. The Town Council has adopted the suggestion of the A A N E and is ar ranging to put up street lamps at thepoised principal corners The lamps in most cases will be furnished by individuals, and the village will furnish the oil andwho keep them lighted. The Worthington Hotel lamp is already up. The dog tax is to be apyropriated to lighting the lamps. Spring sets in this year at least a month earlier than usual. The wild geese, ducks, eagles, robbins and other birds have returned, and grass is al ready shooting up on the prairie. Some of our farmers have already put in con siderable grain. On Thursday night last there was a regular April thunder shower followed by several days of rain. The fishing season also has opened and some tine fish are now taken from the Okabenas. We hope that this early start will put our farmers ahead for the whole season, and with a good crop, our grasshopper troubles will exist on ly in memory. Few are aware of the importance of checking a cough or common cold in its first stage. That which in the begin ning would yield to a mild remedy, if neglected, soon preys upon the Lungs. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup affords instant relief. Price, 25 cts. The postmaster at Grand Prairie writes us: Mr. A. R. Harris and Mr. James Pen bertha refuse to take their papers from this office. Mr. Penbertha has paid up, but Mr. Harris is in arrears nearly two years. This is a very convenient way of stop ping subscription to a newspaper, butCharles it is neither legal nor fair and square.

On Friday last the board of commis sioners accepted the bonds of Peter Thompson, and that gentleman has ful ly entered upon the duties of his office. There can be no doubt but that a deep laid scheme, to either throw Mr. Thompson out entirely or shorten his term of office one year, had been con cocted by the Miller-Conde clique, but finding themselves in a box they were glad to drop the game in its first stages ind escape public condemnation. But the. public will have its opinion, all the same.—Most Uncharitable if not Ma licious Newspaper in the State. Oh, ah, yes, just so. Let yourself down easily. Get out of it some way after making a donkey of yourself. You see this is the way it was: Dan Quixote Rohrer and his Squire Sancho Panza Gruelle, set out last week inquest of more adventures. They came upon a wind-mill, when Dan said: "Look yonder, frined Sancho, where may discover that giant Miller, who is depriving our friend Peter, the merchant, of his just and rightful of fice." "Fore God," quoth the simple minded squire, "I very much doubt me that this is that giant, for it seemcth me more like a wind-mill." "One may easily see," said the demented knight, "that you are not versed in adventures. This is that same giant who is leagued with the spirits, and who by his en-BEDFORD chantments, sorceries and witchcrafts, has metamorphosed himself into that ap pearance.' Whereupon the valorous Dan his lance, and shouting at theHOIKS, top of his voice, "fly not, coward and vile caitiff, for it is a single knight assaults you," rushed upon the wind-mill and thrust his lance into it. A gust of wind just at this moment sent the fans whirling rapidly around, and the end of the lance struck the de mented knight and rolled him over and over on the sandy beach of the lake shore and landed him flat in the waters of the lake. WESTSIDE. G. L. Ellsworth has sown 13 acres wheat. G. S. Barclay, lias got his ground all fitted for the seed. Geo. Ellsworth was crossing the rail road last Saturday with a load of hay,acres ten the reach drew out and left the hay on the track. The horses took fright and drew George three or four rods on his stomach. The team suc ceeded in getting away with the wheels of the wagou. Frank Simmons caught them on iiorse back in the town of Magnolia, Rock county. L. C. Long's friends have returned from Pipestone county. They succeed ed in getting claims 20 miles from the railroad. Our last spelling school was held last Wednesday eve. L. C. should have been there to spelt George down. The boys had a splendid game of base ball at the school hoase last Saturday. G. S. Barclay is expecting some of his friends every day from Iowa. Brother Miller is sound on the book question if he is a little "cracked" on the spirits.—Windom Reporter. The Boston Daily Herald, in speak ing of the seances of the medium, F. Foster, says: The spirits may not have any part in the wonderful things done by Foster, the medium, but any man who sees his performances and thinks they are done by any sort of jugglery is an idiot of the most hopeliss kind. The above conclusion of the Herald applies with still more force to all those who think believers in spirit return are crazy. Worthington Meat Market.
