—The remains of C. E. Sweep are expected to arrive to-day, and will be buried by the Masonic fraternity beside those of his wife, who died while they resided in Decorah. Old-timers will remember the firm of Sweep & Meuser, who did a jewelry business in the store now occupied by N. R. Groff. Mr. S. died in Chicago Sunday night.
