people in and about Austin said, we have
plenty, and with warm, glowing sunshine
which we most earnestly desire, we shall

each day.
—Sorghum yields well on land too poor
to grow corn. This shows that the sor­
ghum derives more from the air, as its
sweet juice, largely carbon, would indi­
cate. The soil for sorghum must, how­
ever, be in fine tilth, as its small seeds are
more impatient of clods than the larger
corn grains.
—A citizen of Chicago—we could not
get his name—was in Austin week before
last negotiating with Jake Weisel for the
purchase of his old brewery stand. He
will be here this week to close up the

from a disastrous fire last week Wednes­
day. About 2 o'clock p. m., the alarm was

chimney. It will take about $200 to set­
tle the bill of damages to building and
furniture. The building only was in
sured.

Dodge and Charles Yandegrift, are hav­
ing very serious times this spring. For

it is hoped the deafness will not prove
permanent. We hope soon to hear of
their recovery.

the Lutheran church last Sunday evening

rested were Mr. Chris Hull and Miss

and kindest wishes of hosts of friends are

on in this new and untried way.

—Last season we had C. H. Smith's
double Uncle Tom's Cabin No. 2. Now
coming, next Monday, May 21, is C. H.
Smith's celebrated No. 1 company. This
same company played in all the leading
cities in the U. S.—Chicago, Philadelphia,
New York, and the only Uncle Tom's
Cabin allowed in the great Boston theatre
since the war. The company is en route
to St. Paul and Minneapolis, and they
bring a strong company.
—The summer sun has touched the
earth, and the tiny blades of the green
grass give answer back "here am I.
Green grass, flowers, buds, are all here,
wakened into new life by gentle spring's
warm breath, and the heart grown weary
of winter's long and dreary stay is full of
joy and thankfulness to that great and
kind Father who will yet again verify
his promise of the "seed-time and har­
vest."

formers, 2 dancing Topsys, 2 Marks the
lawyers, and 6 mammoth Blood-hounds,
This season the company introduce many
new novelties, songs, dances, &c Aus
tin may look for a big show, as the press
everywhere speak loud in praise of this
mammoth company.
—From a copy of theNorthville (Spink
Co., D. T.) Advance of a late date, we see
that our young friends, Messrs. Cressey
& Baird, are among the most enterprising
merchants of the place. The fact that
they have the largest advertisement in
the paper speaks volumes* for them,
Cressey & Baird have both taken home­
steads 22 miles west of Northville, and
have opened a branch store on Mr. Baird's
claim.. Success to the boys.
A very tasteful Wedding card ftfcftie
to us last Wfefek bearing the intelligfebce
that our old neighbor, R. N. Paden, had
taken to himself again a wife. We are
told that a good wife is from the Lord
we see this lady came from Muscatine,
Iowa, but we have no doubt friend Paden
has
chosen wisely and well. The lady's
name
was Anna S. Grinsted. The wed­
ding tour should, we think, extend to
Minnesota.
—Now that the building of the S|. Cloud,
Mankato & Austin railroad appears to be
a certainty, some of the towns along or
near the route are becoming anxious to
secure its passage through their limits,
get stations, &c. •Mannanah, in Meeker
county, will vote on Saturday, upon a
proposition to give a bonus of $5,500 for
its location through that town, and Union

$3,500 proposition, the i|pme day.—St.
Cloud Times, 9th.

a few days.
Messrs. Ames Brothers are building a
six-horse power engine and a forty-horse
tubular boiler for the factory, which they
expect to have finished and ready to set
up by the 1st of July.
•Mower county's boss hen lives next
door to the TRANSCRIPT house. She
dresses in black, with white trimmings,
and belongs to Eddie Nancarrow. 90
consecutive days she has laid an egg, and
day last week she felt 'twas her
privilege to do double duty, and as 'twas
out of the ordinary line to lay two eggs
in one day, she did the business up in one
shell, putting the two eggs into one,
which measured 6 and inches around
and 7| lengthwise. This hen would make
a good pioneer.
—Miss Bell Richardson returned last
week to her home in this city from Min­
neapolis, where she has been for the past
winter. Miss Bell and her sister Miss
Ellen have made the last payment for
their home on College street, and are
now talking improvements. While other
young ladies would have spent their earn
ings in fine garments, these most sensible
girls have saved a part, and now they are
owners of a pleasant and very comfortable
home, which will increase in value, and
we hope prove a wise investment and be
a continued satisfaction.
—The Albert Lea Standard of last week

dy furnace attached, which he expects
to arrive in a few days. He has also
had shipped a beautiful soda fountain,
which cost, together with the accom­
panying apparatus, about $1,000. As
soon as his machinery arrives he will
open up in fine shape a restaurant, ice
cream parlor, fancy candy store, and

system similar to that so successfully
operated by Mr. Colby for several years
past.
—Catherwood & Peterson have just
opened anew exchange store on Bridge
street, in Basford's block. They will
keep constantly on hand flour and feed,
and will give as much flour and as good
as can be procured in any part of this
country pay the highest price for wheat,
corn, oats, etc. Their flour is manu
factured at Anderson's Roller Mill. Will
also keep a supply of lime, salt, hair and
wood for sale. Parties desiring anything
in this line, will find it to their advantage

livered to any part of the city free of
charge.

respondent of the Pioneer Press says the
Adams creamery has a capacity of 500
pounds daily, is now shipping 175 pounds

pounds daily in June. Mr. Krebsbach is

pounds daily production.
—There are some of those whom we call
seventh-heavenly people in every com­
munity—that are almost too good for any
mortal use. Some of these you will
nearly always find at the prayer-meeting,
often taking a part in the most devout
manner. Some of their works give evi­
dence that within they are full of un
charilableness, self-righteousness, and
many kinds of uncleanness—and, like
ravenous wolves, devour others if only
they shall prosper. These persons are a
hindrance to any place, a disgrace to the
church, and a curse to the cause they so
falsely represent.
—The Mower County Teachers' Asso­
ciation will meet in Austin, next Satur­

geant Patrick Daley of the Minneapolis
force, Chief of Police Riley of this city
arrested three persons named Williams,
Murphy and McGulvrey at 2 o'clock last
Friday morning, at the Railway House.
They all claimed to be brakemen on the
Northern Pacific, and the charge against
them is for stealing a vest containing a
Waltham watch Of a freight conductor
named J. L. Holley, while Holley was in
his caboose asleep at Minneapolis last
Wednesday. Chief Riley reports them

money. They were put in jail here,
awaiting the arrival of Detective Hoy,
who came down Friday evening and took
them back to Minneapolis.
P. S. Chief Riley informs us that the
Minneapolis officer failed to come after
the prisoners as agreed, and after holding
them 24houts he set them at liberty.
—"How old are you," said an ancient
dame to a grinning little tar-pot. "Well,
if I goes by what mudder says, I is most
ten, but if I goes by de fun l'se had, I'se
most a hundred. O! that all could
measure their years in this way, but how
many measure them by long night
watches, and almost fatal coughifig spells,
which could have been cured by a bottle
of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup taken in sea
son.
—Leslie comes to the front with base
ball supplies. Spalding's second growth
ash bats, the official 9 in. 5 oz. League ball,
catcher's masks and gloves, score books,

—DEATH OK MRS. AMY CHANDLER.—
Last Friday morning,^at the residence of
her eldest son, David L., in Austin town­
ship—aged 69 years. Two years ago last
December we recorded the death of the
husband, Welcome Chandler, at the age
of 74. Mrs. Chandler has been in quite
poor health ever since her husband's
death. She has had eleven children, eight
of whom are still living, viz: David L.,
John, Mrs. Joshua Epler, George, Star­
ling, William, Mrs. Jacob Epler and Mrs.
H. C. Trowbridge. All were present at
the funeral except the two Mrs. Eplers
who are living in Ottertail county. Rev.
E. R. Lathrop conducted the funeral ser­
vices at the Cedar City school-house last
Sunday at 3 o'clock. It is more than
twenty-five years since Mr. and Mrs.
Chandler came to Austin from Canada,
and during all this time tbey have ever
been recognized as among the most valued
of our citizens.
—COUNTY FAIR.—The executive com­
mittee of the Mower County Agricultu­
ral Society, which met in this city on the
3d inst., voted to hold a fair in Austin this
fall. The executive committee consists
of Hon. John Frank of LeRoy, Thomas
Gibson of Lansing, and Mayor Dorr, W.
T. Wilkins, D. B. Smith, Geo. Fish, Ira
Jones, W. H. Merrick and R. O. Hall of
Austin city. At the meeting referred to,
it was voted to buy or lease the old fair
grounds, and fit them up for the use of
the society this fall—and a committee
was appointed to get membership tickets
printed and to sell them, and to prepare a
premium list and get the same printed in
pamphlet form. The membership fee has
been fixed at $2, and jt is expected the
eitizens of Austin and farmers through­
out the county will come forward and
join the society cheerfully. A thousand
of these tickets ought to be sold, as it is
principally from this source that the reve­
nue is expected wherewith to meet the

—A NEW FACTORY.—Since the first of
last December a certain little factory has
been running in Austin, turning out
patented article for railroad use. As the
existence of the institution was not gen­
erally known to our citizens, we made
trip to the factory last week Tuesday, to
find out about it, and will now proceed
to give our readers the benefit of our re­
searches. We found the shop in the
3d ward, on the north side of Bridge street
with J. E. Hanson as superintendent. The
article manufactured is a "seal punch.'
The tool was patented by H. M! and L.
A. Foote of Lansing, in this county, Feb.
28,1882. It is for sealing freight cars.
A narrow strip of tin is run through the
pad-lock and staple of the car door and
the ends sealed with this punch. Of
course, this car cannot be opened without
breaking this little band of tin, which is
called the seal. If the seal is broken
before the car reaches its destination the
railroad authorities know that the car has
been tampered with, and the train-men
may look out for a thorough overhauling.
The device is considered a valuable one
As proof of this fact, Mr. Foote has
contract to supply all the stations on the
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul with the punches. The punch
about the size of a large pair of shears,
Mr. Hanson has been making the article
without help until about two weeks ago
when Mr. Foote furnished him an as
sistant, and also put up for him a 4-horse
power engine. In a few days Mr. Han­
sen expects still another hand, when the
three will turn out the punches quite
rapidly. The shop is supplied with five
or six hundred dollars worth of machin­
ery, viz: a steam engine and boiler, one
of Packard's screw-cutting and self-feed
ing turning lathes, an upright drill, and
an emery stand for polishing and grind­
ing. The castings for the punches are
made at Rockford, 111., and shipped here
in the rough the springs and knives are
of hardened steel. We hope to see this
industry grow to large proportions, and
we know no good reason why it may not,
A GRAND CLOTHING SALE.
The building on Main street,next door to
the 1st National Bank, so long known as
the most popular place in the city for the
purchase of clothing, &c.', is soon to be
vacated for a much more commodious
one now being built by Mr. G. Schleuder.
As a result of this plan, the immense stock
at the above store, will, on and after
Saturday, May 19th, be offered at great
and sweeping reductions. The Proprie
tor means business in this grand closing
out sale, and realizing the strenuous ef­
forts of his competitors to divert trade to
their counters, will make prices so low
that the goods must go. The only ques
tion is, Do you know what goods are
worth? If you do you have only to name
your pile and select your purchases, and
the figures won't stand in the way of. the
sale. CHEAP CHARLEY,
