A Business Change. John F. Seubert of Galena 111., has

bought the hardware business of Clond Bros. & Johnson Co, and takes posses­sion today, April 29. Mr. Seubert is a thorough business man, having been in the hardware business for the past tweniy-fi7e years, and his ..coming to our city speaks well for the place; as he comes from a city of five thousand inhabitants, having been most favor­ably impressed with Canton. The pres­ent stock will be greatly enlarged and at all times a first class stock kept. Later in the season he expects .his brother George, who is a experienced furnace man, to come and assist in the business. Cloud Bros. & Johnson Co. will continue the implement business. Mr. Seubert expects his family and household goods in a few days.

L. N. Christensen and family arrived home .Saturday from California, where they spent the winter.

H. O. Orstad was a visitor Tuesday, and left a new five dollar bill in the LEADER treasury. Mr. Orstad is one of the successful farmers down in High­land township, and farms something over 300 acres. He will plant 85 acres of corn and has 115 acres of small grain.

The Angustana ball team went over to Inwood last week to do np the In-wooders bnt came home convinced that the Lyon connty boys were whoopers when it come to playing ball.

SAM THORSON. Helmer Hegnes will resign his posi­

tion as bookkeeper at the First National Bank on the first of Hay. - He needs a rest and out door exercise. He expects to go to Chicago soon for a brief visit, and later will go out among the Rose­bud Indians.

A standpipe| used for city water supply should ne covered in snch a manner as to keep ont birds. Dead birds in the Waterloo, Iowa, standpipe produced a serious epidemic of typhoid during the winter. The Canton, stand-pipe shonld be covered with a fine wire. Better do it now than do it later after an epidemic of typhoid.

Fishing is quite fashionable just at present and finely equipped fishing parties go out upon and down by the river bank with tempting bait the Hnney tribe to catch. A Rudolph hotel parly composed of Mrs. B. M. Johnston, Mrs. Cordes, Mrs. Zwang, Dr. Corrigan and Prof. Cole, drove down to the gurgling falls of the Sioux at Beloit Tuesday afternoon, and had all kinds of tempting bait. Ttteir luck was mag­nificent and the way they landed those great big shiners wys a surprise to even the expert fishermen at that famous fisherman's resort. Dr Corrigan and Prof. Cole scarce got time to iihrow their own lines when some of the ladies would call for help to free their hooks and supply new ban. The sport was exciting and full of joy to the lover of good fishing, Mrs. Johnston caught a seven pound pickerel and to her mind it was one of the finest fish ever foand in the river. Dr Corrigan caught a fonr pound carp, while Prof.' Cole drew out a six pound walleyed pike. Several fine cat fish and other finney specimens may be credited to the other ladies. It was a delightful party and the fun and excitement- over the sport was just lovely. Mrs. B. M. Johnston has the thanks of the LEADER family for that fine large pickerel. Now that the fish are beginning to bite, we may expect some surprising results, as the river is full of fish^

The pupils of the High school in con­junction with all the teachers are plan­ning to give a public snpper next Sat­urday, May 7, for the purpose of raising some money to'go towards paying for the Vose piano that was pnrchased tor the use of the high school. The menn is to consist of sandwiches, Boston baked beans, doughnuts, steamed brown bread,"pickles, coffee, ice cream and cake. It will be served from 5 to 8 p. m., price 25 cents. This is the first time that the high school has attempted anything of the sort, and it is believed that the undertaking will meet with general support. Nearly- everybody recognizes the value of having a piano in the high school. A piano in the school tends to minimize the necessary drudgery of the regular routine of school life, and to make the school a place more like the home that it shonld be. Nothing shonld be considered too good for thechildren of the public schools, for it is from the school house that cnlture and refinement shonld emanate, and music made possible by having a piano contributes very largely to this end. The High school is count­ing on a very liberal patronage. Come out and help make the enterprise a success. Remember the date, Satur­day, May 7, from 5 to 8 p. m. The place has not yet been decided upon, but it will be advertised sufficiently next week.
