The GLOBE has established a permanent office in the city of Stillwater, in charge of Mr. Peter Begg, who takes the management of the business interests of the paper, its city circulation, correspondence, etc. Communications of local news and all matter for publication may be left at the Stillwater GLOBE office, 110 Main street, Excelsior block. up stairs, or may be addressed to, Peter Begg, P. O. Box 1034, and will receive prompt attention. Stillwater Notes. The G. B. Knapp left for St. Paul yesterday with a large barge of lumber. The water is down to 2 feet 7 inches, above low water, a fall of two inches since yesterday. The Jennie Hayes is daily taking a barge of stone for the new bridge, which shows that they are progressing rapidly with the stone piers. Base ball appears to have taken a great hold on the youth of the city, as, in going through the city, wherever there is an available spot you will find them at play. The only case yesterday morning in the municipal court was that of J. Schlussler, of Oakdale, a wife beater. He pleaded guilty and fine and costs amounted to $38.07. A number of men are employed repairing the bridge, and getting it in good condition. It will no doubt be still faster improved as soon as the winter sets in, if not rebuilt. Bishop Ireland and Abbot Alexius Edilbrock will arrive this evening, and will make their headquarters with Rev. Father Alphonse, of the Immaculate Conception church. The veterans had an excellent drill in the armory last evening, and when they go to Minneapolis next week they will make a first class showing. They will be able to muster nearly fifty in the grand parade. Yesterday we saw a very fine life size crayon portrait of Rev. Dr. Carrol in L. Wiklund's photo studio. The work is finished in the highest style of art. The doctor is an excellent subject for such work. The consecration ceremonies, by Bishop Ireland, of the new German Catholic church of the Immaculate Conception, will begin on Sunday morning about 7 o'clock, but high mass will not be celebrated until about 11 o'clock, the concecration ceremonies taking something over four hours. The Order of Crusaders in connection with St. Michael's church, is in a very flourishing condition, and to-night they will have their usual drill, which no doubt will be well attended. The order is doing much good, and it is to be hoped every young man belonging to the church will become a member. A couple of boys were yesterday morning playing on barges near the bridge, when one of them fell in. His companion yelled so lustily that a man working near came and pulled the little fellow out and he got off with only a ducking. It is a wonder that many of the boys do not get drowned, as numbers are on the logs all the time at play chasing each other. The chandeliers for the German Catholic church have arrived, and they are of very fine design. In front of the sanctuary is one of eight lights, in the center another of the same description, while immediately in front of the gallery is a double one, the higher containing four lights and the lower six. They will add still more to the beauty of this handsome church. Messrs. Gamm, Shabel and Lukon, who have just finished the new church here, have received the contract to build a far larger and more expensive one at Richmond, Stearns county, for the German Catholics at that place. The priest from that parish was so much pleased with the church here that the offer of the contractors was at once accepted. Good for the Stillwater contractors. Mr. T. L. Young, the veteran who attempted suicide, was yesterday all right. He claims that the GLOBE did him an injustice, in that it stated there was a woman in the case, as such had no bearing on the suicide idea. The evening of the attempt Mr. Young had received a letter containing the news of the death of a friend of his boyhood and riper years, and with whom he was under a peculiar agreement, that whichever heard of the death of the other he was immediately to follow him to the unknown world. He endeavored to keep the agreement, but he took too much of the poison, and in his state of health it did not take the effect that he wished. Yesterday Mrs. A. K. Doe, of 222 North Third street, was the recipient of the most lovely piece of needlework. It appears that Mrs. Doe is a universal favorite among her neighbors, but is a strict stayer at home, and the ladies wished to give her a surprise, and for which purpose they resolved to get her out of the residence. Well, when ladies make up their mind to do a thing they will do it. After getting her to a neighbors they slipped in, and left, hanging over some chairs, the most charming piece of needlework, in the shape of a crazy-quilt, that can well be imagined. The amount of beautiful work and the uniqueness of design, renders it a valuable present. Each of the twelve ladies presented a square, with monogram, in some part of the choice silk pieces, all being harmoniously blended. The ladies who surprised Mrs. Doe are Mrs. Haydon, Mrs. C. A. Hospes, Mrs. Torinus and daughter, Mrs. Berry, Mrs. M. Millan, Mrs. French, Mrs. Mower, Mrs. Isaac Staples, Mrs. Geo. M. Swain and Mrs. Denmeary. |
