they are good men and well qualified

become an heiress though to how much is
not yet known. There is quite a property

—Realizing the value of the TRAN­
SCRIPT weather predictions, we have been
casting about for our weather prophet,
but we can't find him. It grieves us to
see our friends pin their faith to such
fickle things as the ring-tailed coon and
the wood-pecker. Last year we took the
inimitable muskrat for a prophet. He
predicted a mild winter by building him­
self a thin house, and the Lord sent a
blizzard and froze him to death for lying
to us. This year we shall look farther.
—Autumn is with us in all its glory of
changing foliage and beautiful scenery.
There is a charm in the mellow, autumn
days, and the beautifully-tinted leaves—
tinted by the touch of God's own finger—
that is indescribably sweet, and precious
and satisfying. What delightful reveries
do the beauties of autumn bring to the

fluences might be felt always thy beauty

—Last Thursday morning, as R. H.
Dinsmoor and his hired man were driving
to Austin with a load of barley, and had
reached the middle of the bridge over
Turtle Creek, south of the fair ground, it
fell in with a crash,precipitating the team
and load some 12 or 13 feet into the bed
of the river. The team was badly bruised
among the falling timbers, while Mr.
Dinsmooriand hired man were well shaken
up. They may congratulate themselves
on having escaped so well from what
might have been a fatal accident. Mr.
Dinsmoor had crossed the same bridge
daily for some time with even heavier
loads.
—Dr. John liabe, of Oakland, Cal., was
in the city last week. Our old friend
brings a good report of California. He
has purchased a home iu Oakland worth
five or six thousand, and his dental busi
ness is flourishing, as it ought to be with
a good dentist like himself. He has three
children. We saw a beautiful photograph
of his home, the magnolia, pepper and
almond trees about his door over and 70
varieties of roses twining and clustering
in their beauty and fragrance on lattice
and porch,until we fancied it must indeed
seem like one of the bowers of Eden.
And we almost longed ourselves for a
home in that sunny land, where summer
lasts all the year.

couldn't live, and got the doctor to pre­
scribe a fur-lined circular, and pa went

several ladies in Austin who were siezed

those elegant cloaks at Hall & West's,

—Last Saturday, James Barry of Ful
da, left a new violin in the care of the
station agent at Ramsey. A few minutes
after, a gentleman stepped in hastily, and
with great assurance, said he would take
his violin. The agent, without reflecting
that this might not be the rightful owner,
passed the violin over to him. Not long
after, Mr. Barry appeared on the spot,
and the next thing to be done was to find
the thief. Telegrams were sent to sev
eral points, and soon Marshal Riley, hav­
ing seen a man coming into Austin with
a violin under his arm, had him under ar­
rest. Monday he was brought before Esq.
Griffith, plead guilty, was fined $30, or 90
days in jail. In default of payment, he
was committed. He gave his name as
"Pat Devinc," but then names are some­
times deceiving.
—DEATH FROM ALCOHOLISM.—We
re­
gret to chronicle in our journal another
instance of the fatal effects of the drink
custom. Last Wednesday evening, at
half-past nine o'clock, Peter Zeller, a res­
ident of Austin for the past fifteen
years, died suddenly at his home on Main
street. The immediate cause of his death
was heart disease, undoubtedly induced
and finally consummated by the excessive
use of alcoholic drinks. Mr. Zeller was
formerly a merchant tailor in Austin, and
held in high repute as a workman. He
was a kind-hearted man and a good citi­
zen, and but for this unfortunate habit
might have been living to-day, an honor
able|and useful
life. Mr. Zeller was
55 years
of age, and has only one known relative
living, his son who when last heard from
was at Hut Springs, Arkansas. Rev.
Lathrop attended the funeral services.
—A letter from Mrs. J. L. Clark, of
Chicago, dated Oct. 15th, informs us of
the death by consumption of her last
daughter, Fannie M. Clark, in the twen­
tieth year of her age. Fannie was born
in Austin, and many friends of herself and
family will sorrow to learn of her early
death. She was buried, by her own re­
quest, at Geneva Lake, Wisconsin, where
she spent a part of last summer. We
clip the following from a slip sent in the
letter Miss Fannie died calmly trusting
in that Redeemer to whom believing pa­
rents had consecrated her. Her funeral
was attended at the Episcopal Church,
Lake Geneva, Wis., and her remains were
buried in the new cemetery in that place,
in sight of the beautiful lake, on the
banks of which she had spent so many
happy days. When she last came to
Geneva Lake, the glory of July was upon
lake and forest. Nature was triumphant
and joyous. But she, how changed
Pale, feeble and wasted, she slowly as­
cended the sunny bank flecked with shad­
ows. Yet she never seemed so lovely as
in her decay. The sweetness of Christian
patience, the radiance of Ohristian hope
threw a halo above her. She was clothed
with the pathetic sanctity of those whom,
in the bloom ofyouth, death has marked
for his own. With a full realization of
her condition she was calm, uncomplain­
ing, happy, and to her 'there seemed to be
nothing dreadful in death, yet life was
sweet and friends were dear.
Time to Stop It.
It's too bad, sir or madam, but don't
get frightened. Your hair is falling off—
that's certain. A glance in the mirror, or
an investigating committee of fingers tell
the dismal story. We won't discuss the
lossible cause. It is enough that Par­
ser's Hair Balsam used now will prevent
further destruction. Is your hair some­
what gray, too, and crisp? Alas, yes.
The Balsam will give back the original
color, softness and gloss. Not a dye, not
oily, elegantly perfumed, a perfect dress­
ing.

—TILE DRAINING.—D.
What a grand result for Minnesota if
all our farms were thoroughly drained,
and it would be money in every farmer's
pocket and therefore of public "benefit.
Where now he can grow nothing, then
he would have the best crops on his farm.
Call on D. M. Thompson, Bridge street,
and get his prices and figure it out for
yourselves.
Who Will Build New Residences.
There is nothing like investing in im­
provements and helping to build up the
city. It furnishes employment to laborers
and mechanics and at the same time it is
a safe investment to put one's surplus
money into. Then again it gives general
encouragement to others to follow. It
also swells the matter of revenue of the
state, county and city. If every man in
this city puts his shoulder to the wheel,
enough improvements in this city can be
made in the next ten years to increase the
assessment to nearly double what it now
is. The man that invests his money in
improvements in a city is worth a half
dozen of men who put their money in
government bonds and clip the coupons
every six months, and by this means
avoid all the burden of taxation of state,
county or city, and pay not one dollar
toward keeping up the departments that
protect their person and property. The
man who invests his money in visible
property, which is regularly listed by the
assessor for taxation, pushes everything
right along. Give us more men who
make visible improvements in a city.
They show off better to the visitors from
abroad and men at home like the sight
of new houses. The man who hoards
his money is no help to a town. He
never builds it up. He squats down and
gets the benefit of other men's improve­
ments. He is a sort of human blood­
sucker. We have some of these very
suckers in Austin.

GENERAL FARMING PURPOSES.
M. Thompson
of this city, has been appointed agent of
the Mankato Drain Tile Works, and has
on hand a car-load of their tiling for sale.
Something said, therefore, in regard to
the benefits arising from draining lands
will be of interest at this time It frees
our houses of disease by ridding our cellars
of dampness. By removing the surplus
water from the soil it secures the effect of
a warmer climate wetlands are cold and
sour, and a well drained field will add
many days to the season. You can plow,
etc., at least two weeks earlier, and the
earth is at least ten degrees warmer.
There is more certainty of your crop
you can plaut it earlier, therefore it ma
tures earlier. In place of sour, useless
grass, you have good, sweet, nutritious
hay. Various plans are adopted to se­
cure these most desirable results. Pro­
bably the majority oi' the farmers cut some
ditches to carry off the water. These
answer the purpose for a short time, but
soon fill up again with mud washed from
the soil by the caving in of banks and by
the trampling of cattle through them.
They are also objectionable in that they
require a good deal of land a ditch four
feet wide and eight feet on each side that
can not be used makes it equal to a 16 foot
strip, which, passing through 100 acres of
land, would require one-half of an acre
of the best laud on the farm. It is also
necessarjr to provide bridges upon which
they can be crossed. The best method
of removing water from laud is by under
draining. The drains are covered so that
all the land can be cultivated, and teams
can pass along or over them anywhere.
When properly laid there is no cavintr, no
filling with mud. Those who have had
practical experienc prefer tile. Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois each have already
laid 40,000 to 50,000 miles, and experts
say that it is a safe minimum estimate
that this is not one-tenth the amount of
tile that will be laid in these States the
coming years. As to durability, they
have been found in good state of preser­
vation at the excavation of Herculaneum
and Pompei, which were destined by the
eruptions of Vesuvius, A. D. 79. Tiles
are especially useful in draining our cel­
lars, conveying water from spriug to
house and barn, where there is not too
much pressure, also at creameries. The
capacity is governed by the grade or fall,
to a great degree. For instance, the ca­
pacity of a 3-inch tile (inside measure­
ment) with one inch fall per hundred feet,
is 13 gallons per minute, while the same
size with a 3-inch fall would be 35 gallons.
The cost varies, according to size and
the nature of the soil and the depth would
decide the cost of laying. The fall in this
country should not be less than three
inches per hundred feet for farm draining.

Physicians are often startled by remarks
able discoveries. The fact that Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption and all

duty, and examine into the merits of this
wonderful discovery resulting in hun­
dreds of our best physicians using it in
their practice. Trial bottles free at any
