We protest against the name OF
WATERFOWL in place of Lake Kampes'
ka. There is one Watertown in the
state already-there are Watertowns
Watertowns where there
is more water than at Kampeska and
the name has no particular significance
anyway as applied to the place. Give
us something better and more appro.

Henry Gormley, an account of whose
escape from our Jail and subsequent re.
capture we gave last week, effected his
escape in a novel manner. 1t appears
that he is devout Catholic and is in
the habit of kneeling in front of his bed
and engage in prayer before he retires
for the night. Sheriff Manderfeld had
given the jailor instructions not to dis
turb him while so engaged. This the
prisoner no doubt knew and in order to
deceive the jailer he stuffed out pair
OF pants and a coat and placed them in
front Of the bed in kneeling posture,
and then secreted himself in an empty
cell. When the jailer closed the cell
for the night he supposed him to be
saying his usual prayers, and the trick
was not discovered until after CORN.

Several weeks ago we suggested to
farmers the idea of procuring seed
wheat from other localities. We since
learn that the Minneapolis Miller's AS
ISOLATION are offering to sell hard wheat
raised on the line of the Northern Pa
cific, at 81 per bushel. We also learn
that farmers who have experimental
with their No. 4 and rejected wheat
find that it will sprout as speedily as
better varieties, and quite generally it
will be used for seed. The same re-
suit has attended experiments in other
localities. An experienced farmer as
sures us that from a busllel and quar-.
ter to a bushel and a half of the present
grade of wheat will be sufficient to seed
an acre, and if this is correct farmers
will have the satisfaction of getting
their seed very cheap-from fifty to
sixty cents per acre. -Mankato Review.
From the following, clipped from
the St. Paul Globe, of the 7th, it would
appear that Jacob Bender is again in
trouble:
Yesterday United States Commits.
siOner Cardoz0 held Jacob Bender. of
New Ulm, to answer to the grand iury
IN bonds OF $500 for not destroying
beer stamps on empty barrels.
Bender is brewer and saloonist in
New Ulm. An inspection of key on
top showed that the stamp had been
mOistened and carefully raised off the
bung hole and turned under, to appear
as if torn. A look at some empty kegs
revealed the same condition of affairs.
When questioned about it, Bender laid
all the blame on his boy. He had told
him more'n hundred times to driyethe
faucet right through the stamp, but
the wicked boy persevered in not being
so destructive. Several carefully re-
moved stamps were also found mixed
up with a new lot. Bender will have
to answer at the June term of the
United States district court. -
Nothing new has transpired in re.
gard to the failure of II. Behnke &
Bro, except that when the safe was
opened it was discovered that the
books of the firm had misteriously dis
and have not yet been found.
The liabilities of the firm are greater
than anybody supposed. Up to Mon
day morning over $40, 900 attachments
had been filed and the total amount
will fall but little short of $4,000.
VIM. Gieseke, of this city, has claim
OF $4,000 and is the preferred creditor.
The sheriff is now engaged in taking
an inventory of the stock which will
reach, we are informed, about $l7 900.
We hear that Albert Behnke, the re-
manning member Of the firm, has made
the creditors proposition to settle for
20 cents on the dollar, but if there is
any truth in the report we can not say.
Unless settlement is reached the stock
will be sold at sheriff sale.
