Dear Republican:—Although 'we have not much in the way of news to chronicle, we will try and get up a short letter. The morning is bright enough to lend inspiration to the hand of the veriest scribbler, but somehow, tor some reason we c annot feel the ■“divine afflatus” prompting us to mighty efforts, therefore you will have to be satisfied with the regular humdrum letter. The election passed off quietly , resulting in the re-election of Alex Anderson as Marshal; Messrs. Durand, Stiller, Hart and Stout as city fathers; and H. W. Snyder as Clerk. The ticket as elected gives general satisfaction. In spite of the late spring, and the Dakota exodus our farmers and the people generally are looking cheerful and hopeful. The spirit of prophecy is upon us we predict o bounteous and beautiful year for this locality. We are not selfish and are willing to have our neighbor, Rensselaer, share in the prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Price are in town making preparation to emigrate to “the land of promise the El Dorado of the west” better known as Dakota. May they fully realize tneir bright expectations. B. H. Patton and Loyd Kingsbury left for Dakota Monday morning, the former to visit his son James who is doing a “land office” business at Frederic, and the latter in charge of a stock of goods to be retailed at low figures to the citizens of St. Lawrence and Hand county generally. As we remarked in a previous letter if those have gone from here to the Territory are samples of the emigrants it will be a grand state when admitted. Mrs. P. B. Lyon and son and 'Mr. Morgan will start for Huron, D. T. next week and T. R. Donnelly went to the same place last week. George Hart left for Marion last Monday having secured a position In a drug store in that place. Mrs. Green the aged mother of Mrs. Dr. Landon is very sick. Schools close in three weeks.

Heaviest rain of thd season on Saturday 22nd. The oats is up but growing slowly, owing to the cool weather. Many farmers are plowing for corn. Tren McColly has returned from Delaware c«unty and is working for I. V. Alter. We know of several persons who were swindled at the show. Let every Republican be at the polls on tlye Bth of June and help to put the right man in the right place. • Viola Copper, formerly Viola Wilcox of this township, died recently at her home in Wisconsin. Lookout for the coming comet. The recent display of northern lights was the most brilliant we ever saw. Forming an arch in the narth at 12 o’clock and a center 8 degrees south of the zenith, dark red flames variegated with blue and white, rolled to the center from all points of the compass -with wonderful rapidity, for the space of half an hour.

Free of Charge.

All persons suffering from coughs, Colds, A»lhnn, Bronchitis, Loss of Voice, for any affection of the Throat and Lungs, arts requested to call at lines & Meyer's Drug Store and get a Trial Bottle of King’s New Discovery for Consumption, free ofaharge, which will convince them of its wonderful merits and show what, a regular dollareize bottle will do. Call «-a.ly. Primary Election.—The live issuejin our approaching Primary is,to so sift the candidates, as to show the ‘‘survival of the fittest” #nd make such a ticket that the printer shall make no mistakes requiring “a scratch”. The people have now under the announcement immediate charge as to a county ticket. It seemetji right unto me that the “wheelers’’ should have a chance to vole for district candidates as well >i« delegates. A delegate sent feom each precinct bearing the voice of his neighbors would have a neare'r and warmer regard lor the wishes of those who would have to pronounce upon the wisdom of the convenventiqns work. Let the committee so order a-to give all a chance to ballot for a choice tor congressman, senator, representative and prose tutor as well as county officers. This can do no harm and may do good. Give the rank and silo a fair show in the primary and w« will abide the r ®sult. A Republican.
