WORTHY OP MENTION-
Last night about 11:30 o'clock, \vhen the stars were blinking and the only cool wind of the day prevailing, our esteemed colored barber, Geo. Webb, rushed wildly up Main street and to the court room, where the trial had just cooled off, exclaiming in loud accents that his wife had thrown herself in the deep Sioux river, and he desired everybody to go down and make a search for her. A party went down with lanterns and made a thorough search of the river bank and stream, but the would-be suicide could not be found. After the party had left for their homes, Mrs. Webb was found in a critical condition in an old pig pen not far from the Webb residence. It appears that for the past year Mrs. Webb has been feeble and sickly, and has been rather despondent at times. Last evening she was up town with some friends who were visiting her from Sioux Falls, and after her return home she expressed a desire to die, and made the remark that she was going to throw herself into the river. She was missed shortly after this, which caused the excitement in the household. She probably started for the river, but the intense cxeitement of the occasion caused her sudden attack of sickness, which saved that portion of the city from reporting a suicide.
Bassett, Huritting & Co. were interviewed by the Sioux City Journal in regard to the state of crops in the northwest generally, and they remark thusly: Our reports from northern Iowa are that copious showers have fallen during the past three days and the crops are looking much better. Chinch bugs have about cleaned out the wheat in Winbesbeik, Clayton, Howard and Floyd counties; they have also done great damage to barley. Since the rain oats have improved 25 per cent, and possibly there may be two-thirds of a
.exQp»~ia ~northern Iowa. Our reports from western Iowa, Sanborn to Canton, inclusive, indicate a full average crop. From the Jim river division of the St. Panl road, commencing about twenty miles north of Mitchell and as far
.north as Westport, our reports would in dicate a fair ^ieUJ wheat in that
territory. Our Ellendale agent says the late rains have helped the crops some in the country tributary to that point, but they came too late to do much good. He estimates the yield at about two-thirds of an average crop.
Thos. X. Sundy, aged 42 years, an old Lincoln county resident, died at his residence on Johnson street last Sunday evening, at 9:30 o'clock. Mr. Sundy was bom in Norway, and came to America and settled in Iowa in 1866. During 1873 he moved to Dakota and purchased land in Lincoln county, where he has lived to the time of his death. In 18(58 he was married to Miss llachel Scliea, and lived happily together. For the past three years that dread disease, consumption, made him a sufferer, but not until two weeks ago did it assume an alarming aspect. Sir. Sundy was a partner of Gilbert Satrang in the grocery business for three years and was considered a model business man. Last summer he visited Colorado to regain his health, but of no avail. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss, and also a large circle of friends. The funeral services were held at the residence last Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, the Rev.'s Xorem and West officiating.
The smoke has cleared away from the Fourth of July festivities, and common every-day life is being experienced by those who made it a point to celebrate on that day. If a person is unfortunate enough not to be an expert at baseball, running, jumping or rowing on the festive Sioux with his best girl, he is lost to all pleasures in this world—for just now there is a grand lull in the amusement line—nothing to do but watch the pitch fry out of the sidewalk and listen to the monotonous hum of the drowsy tly. This week the seekers of pleasure resorts are lolling in the billowy waves of Lake Okoboji, or skimming over the surface in a gilt-edged yacht. But there is one thing of commendation that is worthy of notice —that is, our merchants are kept busy dealing out goods to their many customers from the rural districts; a steady growth of Canton is perceptible, and what more should be asked ?
Last Saturday Fairview township was the scene of an episode which almost resulted in a tragedy. It appears that Erik Kittleson and James Delve are not on the best of terms, and last Saturday Mr. Delve was pursuing a stray horse which was on Kittleson's field when they both met and had a racket all by themselves. There were no witnesses present to state what occurred, but it seems that Delve talked quite strong language to Kittelson, when the latter gentleman grabbed a piece of his hay-rack and made for Delve, cutting his head and arms to a considerable extent. Kittleson was arrested for assault and battery and the trial came off yesterday before a jury, Justice Beck presiding. K. C. Stabeck was the attorney for the defendant, Kittleson, and District Attorney Brown for the plaintiff. The trial hung out until 12 o'clock, when the jury retired to render a verdict. After two hours of discussion the jury could not agree.
Now that there is a camp meeting at Beloit some of the young men and—we are sorry to say—a few of the young ladies, will amble down there for purposes other than worshipping. Because there happens to be a tabernacle tent it is no sign that spangled acrobats carouse about therein; and because songs of praise are indulged it is no indication that a charming bare-back rider is dashing around the ring to the blare of a circus band. A camp meeting is held for the purpose of converting sinners by christian workers, the reclaiming of backsliders and entire sanc-titication of believers. It is not held simply to give ridiculers a chance to snicker and paint the woods red by develish antics.
A. L. Carter and John Elder left last Thursday for Lake Okoboji, where they went to take their annual bath. This duet of sports will probably paint even the shimmering waves of the lake a delicate hue before they return to the land of promise. And what a figure A. L. must cut out in the deep blue waters with a towel wrapped around him and his elegant silk plug for a bathing suit. But the unkind cut will be the coming down to drinking pee-wee water with nothing for a stick.
Xow that Ben Averill is a lone man for a few weeks he fhids time aside from his express business to lecture out of his book of "ten thousand bible lies." Ben is soaring high in the clouds of glory when he can capture some innocent individual and talk on the delicate subject of religion for about two hours. Ben, it is foolish to buck the whole world on the religious question. Space is so limited we need you on our side.
E.V.IIansford and partner, two painters who were here, have "skipped by the light of the moop." Being possessed of a sportive disposition they could not stand prosperity, and their out-go was more immense than their income. Unknown to anybody they left last Thursday night, leaving behind untold bills to be nursed as mementoes of their career during their short stay in this city.
Bozarro was at Aberdeen last week. The Republican says: Bozarro, the long-haired medicine man, with his company of musicians and show people, closed their stay of ten days in this city AVednesday evening. Their free entertainments were patronized and the sale of medicines was large enough undoubtedly to recompense the proprietor for his outlay.
During the still hours of last night the postoffice was moved from the corner room in the Syndicate block two doors west, where Postmaster Bertrand can be found as smiling as ever. This room will be fitted up suitably for the convenience of the public, ftpd a news stand will probably be an interesting feature in connection with the postoffice.
There has been a change in the United States weather signals. The signal flags to be used now are the ones adopted for general use by the signal service March 1, 1887. The white flag indicates clear or fair weather; the blue flag, rain or snow; the three-cornered black, temperature signal; the white flag with black square in center, cold wave,
Lapt Friday morning Joseph Paxton someway got htaleft hand caught in iargie cogs of -uteir tow mill, badly
lacerating the two fore Angers and the palm of:£he hand. Dr. Bell dressed the injury and hopes to save the fingers. This is hard luck for the Paxton Bros., as it is the second accident at their mill this summer.

The farmers rn this vicinity are cutting oats and other small grain readv for the harvester. There is nothing that can be injured now except corn by a severe hail storm, and it is almost past the period for storms. Lincoln county will harvest the most bountiful crop this year ever brought to a market.
