Owners of lands along the Lakin & Wheatfield ditches will probably be called on to remove willows under the provisions of the law upon their own land. The permitting of willows to grow on said ditches is an obstruction by the land owner. Milton Chipman has been engaged this week in putting in a fine new twenty-five horsepo’wer boiler and engine at the Catholic college.

The telephone system is working fine and it is all that could be desired. Conversation can be heard plainer through it than any system with wh ; ch the editor pro tern, has had experience.

Austin, have wisely concluded to make ther future home in Rensselaer. They have purchased a lot of J. P. Warner on front street and have let the contract for a new house to be ready for occupancy before the begining of winter. A party of eighteen Rensselaer pleasure seekers, thirteen of whom took their wheels, left Sunday morning for a few days’ camping at Idlewile park on the shores of beautiful Phantom lake, at Mukwonago, Wis. They have just returned, somewhat tired, but delighted with the trip, a detailed account of which will be given next week. Drs. Washburn. V. E. Loughridge and Berkley made a post mortem examination of M. Zard and found a swelling back of the lower part of bowels about twelve inches above the outlet which closed the bowels and caused the obstruction which j was the cause of his death. | They found a plug of fat which closed the vein giving rise to the swelling. They all agree it was a very unusual cause of obstruction. Thp Chicagb surgeon supposed it was a case of ‘‘intestinal invajinatibn” or when the small intestine had passed into the large, but there were no appearance indicating that to j be the case.
