We are anxious to show you these, when you cpntemplate purchasing work shoes. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block.

Nine gentlemen went to Chicago this morning to inspect the latest factory proposition. The Inventor and his partners of the manufactured article hope to get some local capital interested and most of those who went art willing to ipvest if they can see a favorable outlook for the business. Owing to the freight wreck near Louisville, the train due here at 4:50 was very late and the'men selected by Mr. Worland to make the trip, secured the stopping of the fast train that goes through town at about 5:30. A petition was circulated and generally signed Saturday asking the city council to buy the sprinkling wagon of T. D. Woodworth and keep the city team at all times on the main streets of the city, using it to draw the sprinkling wagon and to haul away street sweepings and debris that accumulates in the alleys in the business part of town. This would mean that the city hire its coal' hauled, which the city team has been doing in the past. Coupled with the coal hauling, the team has so much work that the rubbish could not be cleaned from the streets. The petition contemplates A-KtA xaiwx efcalk tc pay for the street sprinkling as heretofore. Nobby extra trousers in all colors and. shapes, from SI.OO to £6.00, all sizes. ; C. EARL DUVALL.

BILL GOOSEQUILL’S REMINISCENCES OF THE CIVIL WAR.

Published for the First Time by The Rensselaer Republican. All Rights. Reserved. [lnstallments occasionally when Bill feels fitten.J

Here is Bill As he appeared after the battle of Bull Run.

The Bull Run incident, which I related last week, has doubtless created in you a demand for more about one of the nations great heroes and I shall not disappoint you. I want you to understand the full extent of my bravery and the many sacrifices I made that my country and myself might be saved. I belonged to the only Illinois regiment that was in the siege of Petersburg. We were the first infantry t< cross the river into Robert E. Lee’s front and I was the first man to get back on the other side. It was th< morning of the 9th of April. Genera Lee’s advance guards struck us just at the break of day. You hear a good deal about the young bloods in Rensselaer rushing the can, you should have seen the Johnnies rushing the can(nister). I was in a position wjierc I could see it all. Just at my left and only a few steps away stood one oi Sheridan’s cavalry officers. He was standing behind a tree and when he saw me, he thundered: “What is your name?” “Bill Goosequill,” said I. “Where are you from, Bill?” “Chicago, sir,” said I. “Get out of that hole you big Chicago coward,” said he “and go on with your command.’ “Yes, d— you,” said I, “yot want tc get into this hole yourself.” I went through this battle unscathed too, and never got a hole in my clothing either fore or aft. There were some remarkable escapes from injury and court-martial those days, I can tell you. This is the secohd installment of the true narrative of my army life. BILL GOOSEQUILL.

Otto Anderson Drops Us a Few Lines From North Dakota.

Otto Anderson, who recently moved from the Porter farm to North Dakota, writes as follows from Hansboro: “I arrived here at 12 o’clock today, the 16th, all O. K. 1 did not get started from Ade on Tuesday as I had expected, on account of the bad roads, but started Wednesday, March 9th. I made slow time until after reaching St. Paul, where I was kept for about a day, and after that I made good time. In regard to the inspection of horses I will say that what I had done was all right but I could have saved the $2 on the inspection of each horse, as the government keeps veterinaries for that purpose at St. Paul and the horses are inspected free of charge. So if any more of my friends ship to the northwest, they may save their $2. The yards were so full this trip that it was impossible to get stock unloaded unless the inspector claimed that they were suffering and had to unload for that reason. “The weather is fine out here and I saw one man seeding wheat today between Devils Lake and Hansboro. I have not decided what to do yet, but will let you know more in the future.”

Construction of New Creamery At Parr Began Monday Morning.

The new creamery at Parr is to occupy a lot on the main street adjoining W. E. Price’s store. The ground was staked off Saturday and the foundation building will begin at once. It is expected to rush the work right along and to have the machinery installed and ready for business by June Ist. A thoroughly competent butter maker is to be employed and he is to be the instructor for some focal party who will learn the business and eventually take charge of the plant. W. E. Price will be the manager. The stockholders are all very optimistic about the prospects add Mr. Price, who hat had a great deaf of experience in the cream business feels assured of its success.
