For spvpral years ("he two member*, John Lindberg and Aug. Lundgreii, were together in the brick manufac turing business which was started by Aug. Lundgren in 1883. In 1887 they entered the farm machinery business, in which they have been very successful. They handle sueh standard machines as the McCor iniek Binders and Mowero, Advance Thresher*, Flying Dutchman Plows, Htoughton Wagons, etc. During the jd summer they have erected the handsome and substantial farm machinery depot shown in the illus tration on another page BLOOMER. Jo hn Kittelson has been appoint ed chairman of the town board, in place of J. L. Gooler, who resigned and moved into Argyle. George Douglass had fom moie horses condemned and one colt killed with the Glauders, and if they are killed it will take every horse he has got eight in all he had three killed last spring. George is un lucky, and has the sympathy of his fellow townsmen. Mi*s Ettie Brady gave a school entertainment in Dist. No. 10, which was a grand success. I was a good program and was well rendered, and enjoved by a full house. John Kittelson has bought eighty acres of land ol Peter Lonner. The Middle River had gone too dry to please the settlers along the river. They made a Jam aci oss the mouth of it and our town board was called upon to have the same re moved, but found, upon investiga tion, that it was just across the line in the town of Parker. Warren Flouring: Mills. A New Fnterprise. A new enterprise is the Warren Flouting Mills that just commenced doing business. The mill was erect the past snmmei and tall, and liille boe & Johnsou ai the proprietors. I is a modern mill in eveiy lespejf, is tun on the plan sifter system, and as four double stand roller mills, with a capacity of 8 0 bbls. daily. Having the latest improved machin ery, it is capable of turning out the very best quality of flour that can be put on the maiket. It brands are Grand Union, Wairen Flouring MiH.s Best and Baker's Choice. L, AI.

New- trom tlie"townslup& liiJFolk Co., Minn called "Norge On the 22nd day of November, some young people in this neighbor hood got together and organized an Anti-tobacco union, which received the name "Frain." The whole union consisted of 15 members. Of course there were many people pressed while those 15 organized their union, who prophesied that it would not last a week. That they were mistaken is proved now, for on Dec. 2nd the union met again. They had a very interesting meeting, made some reso lutions in regard to the future work of the union, put up a program for the next meeting and received nine new members. Thereupon the presi dent of "Fram" made a speech in which he pointed out what a great and noble cause we were working for and proied his words by referring to the statistics in regard to the amount of money spent for tobacco. There were also made some short addresses by some other members of Fram, whereupon the meeting was dismissed and all went home happy and well satisfied with the way they had spent tlie evening. HOST. GERMANTOWN, MINN. Dec. 11, is9. EDITOR SHE I Jack Frost has at last come, a welcome miest he was. People living out beyond Germantown, across the big floating bogs welcome Jack Frost with delight. I has been about im possible torus to come to tow after anything on account ot the bogs Four hoi se.s have been killed in the ibogs, and nearly all horses hare tfared more or less badly. Two years ago a corduroy was laid partly across the worst floating bog, but now that has sunk down so it is about useless. Settlers are moving in every day and the land is going very fast. U. M. Crozier has just opened up a grocery store at Germantown and Jo hn Olson, the blacksmith, has commenced hotel keeping. A party from near Liner 0 went to Thief River Falls last week. Tliev partook freely of all strong drinks, and on the way back had a lively scramble with the Indians Chief Moosedung had a couple fingers broke in the fight. To bad that people have so little respect for themselves and others as to fill up on bad whis key. I is rumored that the settlers will be arrested. CORK. MARSH GROVE ITEMS. We do not remember when we have had such a pleasant winter before Farmers seem mostly employed in hauling grain to town,and in doing little odd jobs on their farms. On Dec. C, 1899, Mr. Morris Lein and Miss Allie Webjornson were unit ed in marrage by Rev. Ostgulen, of Warren. They were married at the home of the bride. Many friends wereinvited,and a splendid dinner was served. All joined in wishing the new couple all the joys and blessings of a matrimonial life. The young iolks amused themselves in the evening with music and social games. On the evening of Dee. 9, the newly mar ried couple, Mr. and Mrs. Lein, were given a pleasant surprise, and pre sented with a new cook-stove, a bed, and a large glass mirror by a large number of young folks of West Val ley and Marsh Grove. The party spent the evening again in playing social games and with music. Break ing up the entertainment eai ly next morning all started for home a hap py, cheetful group. Mr. Axel Swanson has returned home from Argyle where he has been staying most ot the summer. Jo hn Notvick has gone to Argyle where he will be in the employ of Mr. Wostlin this winter. Mrs. E. Hockey has accompanied her brother, Rev. Nels Lund, to his home in Wulverton, Minn She ex pects to visit friends and relatives there for some time.

One of the chief attractions of Cen ttiral park, in the city of New York, is 'Ifae Egyptian obelisk elected opposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This ancient monolith was erected in Cen tral park in 1881, having been trans ported from Alexandria, under charge of'Lieutenant Commander Govringe. It was asheried lhat the severity of our climate would causedisintegration,and* steps were taken to prevent this, or to Deduce it to a minimum. A careful ex amination made recently proves that in spite of the care taken to prevent it the process of disintegration has been* oimg on. The ravages of the weather sine pai tieulai ly noticeable on the west faee of the obelisk, which has a scaly appearance in certain places. This is the side upon which the sHaft l-ested ivtoeti partly buried in the, sands of Egypt, and the hieroglj phics on it are much, fainter than on the other three surfaces. Then, the crack which ex tends from the base to the south side of the obelisk has been gradually spread ing, altbougi] it was filled with a wooden plug covered with cement when the stone was erected'on its present site. The authorities who have charge of the obeliek will make a thorough in vestigation, and if it can be shown that the monument is in danger of de struction by being exposed to the iu clement elements, it will probably be removed and exhibited under cover. DEADLY SEASONINGS. Tliey Are Sometimes Used In Orient to Assa-sslnnle Objec tionable I'enoni. the The ways of the east ai devious, and an intelligent anticipation of coming events is a marked teature in Indian palace rule. The dreaded cholera is an ever present disease, but more men die "officially" of it than is actually the case. The cholera morbus kills its tens of thousands, no doubt but powdered glass, finely cut up camel's hair and bamboo chips assist in the fell work, says the Ne York Journal. Is a resident inconveniently active,? Then in his curry he may discover pul verized glass, which, once swallowed, imitates the disease sufficiently closely to account for death. The papers the other day announced the attempted as sassination of a well-known Indian res ident by this method but, happily, enough, the deadly plot failed. The camel's hair and minute portions of bamboo are equally efficacious, and are exceedingly difficult to discover when cunningly mixed by a suborned cook. These facts sufficiently explain the elaborate piecautions against poison ing taken by all oriental monarchs. The sultan of Tin key actually has each dish seaJed so as to avoid any tamper ing with the foot] in transit from kitch en to the diniug hall. A taster partakes of each disb be fore the autocrat and lord of millions can safely eat froai it, and even then, the haunted dreae of death waits ever upon him. VENDETTAS OF THE PRESENT. They Differ Bat Sliichtly from the Sanjrnlnarj Fadn of Other llaj K. It is through lack of information that the vendetta is referred to to-day as an institution of the past. Vendettas' blood feudsexist to-day not only in Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, but in Kentucky and other of the southern and western states, and also at times in Kngland, Ireland and France, Italy nil i he east, sa, the New York World. It has happened recently that an Al banian whose relative had been killed by a Tuikish vizier shot the vizier's sonwhich is at least a partial exem plification of the vendetta. In Arabia the system is to-day in full operation, a fact which is so well understood that offenses sufficient to start a train of killings are rarely committed, and' a considerable degree of order is there by preserved. As it is generally understood the vendetta originated in the following practice: An assassin was never al lowed to escape. The responsibility of punishment was assumed by the near est blood relations of his victim. There must be blood for blood, a death for a death. Try the Acorn Brand of Flour. Best in the market.
