A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

An Increase in the Capital Stock CT the St.Paul
Harvester Works-An Important Addition
tothe Manufacturing Interests OF st. Paul.
A little more than eight years ago Mr.. e. M.
Dean and few other gentlemen associated
themselves as the St. Paul Harvester Works
The project was attended by all the discourag-
lug circumstances that new enter; rises have to
encounter The company had to win for it's
machines place and record in the field, in
competition with older and wealthier man
ufacturers. Under the able management
of Mr.. Dean the company has advanced steadi-
ly to an assured success and by its last increase
Of capital stock to s 900, 900 has already
crown to be six times as large as it was orig
inaly, and is how sending lis unequalled ma
chimes into the remotest wheat fields and
meadows of the country. The demand for the
machines this season more than absorbed the
entire product of the factory before the season
fairly opened and compelled the corporation to
double the force and run its work day and
night TO meet the demand of the trade. The
machines have made a record in the
field second to none, and the trade
has covered a larger territory than ever
before. A strong demand from abroad has been
made upon the company for machines, and it
is the intention to meet this demand during the
coming year. Special attention will also be
given to the manufacture of their new mower,
which with its center draft and six foot cut, is
sure to super ode the old style moving ma
chimes that have. been 80 long in use.
This rapid increase of business has COM
PEELED the corporation to enlarge it's works.
Contracts have been let for the construction OF
alarge brick factory which will quadrupe the
manufacturing capacity. The work is already
under way and the building will be ready for
occupancy by W inter. The old factory starts
next week upon the work Of the com
ing year. II will be in charge of
Mr.. c. T. Corning, the superintendent, assist
ed by Mr.. Horny Brand. These gen tlemen
have been associated with the works from the
beginning, and in these departments they have
acquired more than local reputation.
The increase of business has also compelled
an enlargement of the Office organic alton. Mr..
j. E. Miller has resigned his position as secre-
tary and treasurer in order to take charge of
the purchasing department Mr-W. B. Bend
has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the'resignation of Mr.. Miller. Mr.. ]. H. Ran
dall remains as cashier and bookkeeper. Thus
equipped, and with vastly increased facilities
and means, this corporation stands in the front
rank of the manufacturing interests Of the
Northwest

His Death at WorthingtoR-Sketch Of His


Life.
,Ex-Goy. Miller, who has been in i'll health
for several years, declined very rapidly
the forepart of last week, and died on Thurs
day night at WorthiDgton, Mobiles county. His
funeral took place On Saturday afternoon, at
from abroad and citizens of that place.
Stephen Miller was born in Perry, Climber
land county, Pa Jan. z, 1916, his parents be-
ing David and Rosenna Dorkes Miller He re-
ccived common school education, and later
learned the milling business. In 1887 he be-
came forwarding and commission merchant
at Harrisburg, and two years later " as elected
prothonotary of Dauphin county, being re-elect=
ed in 1852. In 1855 he was sppointed flour
inspector of Philadelphia, wbicn position he
held until 1858, when he removed to Minneso-
ia, confessed invalid, locating in St Cloud,
where he conducted merchantlle bust
ness until the breaking out of the re-
bellion. In the spring of 1861 Mr.. Miller en-
lis ed as private soldier, and WAS appointed
lieutenant colonel of the First Minnesota in
fantry, serving in the army of the Potomac un-
til September, 1862, when he was promoted te
the command of the Seventh Minnesota in
fantry, hurrying with his regiment TO the
massacreing men, women and children. In the
fall of that year Col. Miller caused the exc
cution Of thirty eight of the captured Indians,
who were hanged at Mankato .-
In the fall OF 1868 Col Miller was promoted
to brigadier general of volunteers, and shortly
afterwards elected a governor of the state OF
Minnesota. He filed the executive chair dur
ing the closing years Of the rebellion and in
many ways showed his patriotic impulses and
zeal for the welfare of his state and country.
Gov. miller was rendered civil appointments
by presidents Lincoln and Grant, which were
not accepted, and since the close of the war he
has held no public position save one term as
member of the assembly in 1878, and presi-
dental elector at large in 1876, being chosen
messenger to carry the electoral vote to Wash
ington. In 1889 Mr.. Miller married Mrs.

these Wesley F., lieutenant in the
army, was killed at Gettysburg.
Their second son was commissary of subsistence
with the rank of captain, and now resides in
Washington. The other son resides in Penn
sylvania, while the daughter died in infancy.
Gov Miller is an ardent republican, and in
1860 headed the electoral ticket of Minnesota
In the convention which nominated Mr.. Lin
coin. From 1858 to 1855 he edited the Tele-
graph, an influential Whig paper, at Harris-
burg. From 1871 to 1878 Gov. Miller lived
at Window and was employed as field agent of
the st. Paul & Sioux City railway company
He then removed to Worthington, where he
lived at the time of his death. Gov. Miller was q

ernor of the. state.

On Wednesday evening of this
week, Mr.. Isaiah Goodwin, and bis
son Isaac, residing some four or five
miles from this place, we're in the
woods together getting up a load OF
wood, when some quarrel arose be-
tween them which resulted in the
young man shooting bis father with
shot gun. The old man was shot
in the arm near TO the shoulder, tic
muEzle Of the gun being so close as
to fracture the am terribly. We
have not been able TO learn the par
tirulars Of the affair, although We
have heard various reports about it
The old msn says his son shot him,
and we understand the young man
says be did not, nor did he know
anything about it until the next
morning, as he went to his own home
amer he and his father parted in the
Water Valley Courier.

Murderoas EIlIstOwn.

From Mr.. Keown we learn that
Ellistown, in Union county, has, du
ring the last two weeks, been the
scene Of one, and perhaps two homi-
cides. Week before last Mr.. Pannell
was waylaid and shot by a negro,
and dangerously and perhaps mortal
" wounded The negro made his
escape
Last Friday night a Mr.. Balm was
shot and instantly killed by one or
two strangers who we're passing
through on horseback. The facts as
we gathered them are about these !;
Mr.. Balm was at a disreputable house
in the neighborhood occupied by
two women, who say that about 8
o'clock two men came in and asked
Balm his name to which answer was
given. He then asked his initials,
which question was also answered,
and Immediately, without further
conversation, one of them drew a
pistol and shot Balm through the
heart, killing him instantly. The
men then left. The alarm was given
aud a posse of citizens went in pur-
suit and overlook them at SAltillo,
in Lee county They we're brought
back to the scene Of the killing and
when MIR Keown left home on Tues
day the committing trial was still in
progress. Mr.. Keown didn't know
the names of the two men who did
the killing, and they seemed to be
entire strangers in the community.
There is some mystery connected
with it which may be explained when
the proof is taken.-Ripley Senti-

A Strange Thing.

Some 4 years ago, a negro man died
at Lauderdale Station, as was sup
posed, of hydrophobis The day Of
his death he was a raving maniac. 1t
was thought best to conhne him, but
there was trouble in getting any one
to undertake the dangerous and diff.
cult task. At last, DR.. Kennedy, Dr.
Webb, and b I. Rush, volunteered
to undertake It. The mans wife as
sisted them, and with great difficulty
they succeeded in fastening hand
cuffs upon his wrists. He died that
evening. Tho wife soon after went
raying and dIe1. Within the last
six months the three white men en-
gagged in the struggle with the negro
70 handcuf him. have gone crazy,
two Of them sent to the Lunatic Asy-
lum and third on bis way there
There is much remark on the coin
cldence. And now we hear, for the
FIRST time, that 1t was rather a sus-
picion that the negro had been bit
ten by a mad dog known to have
been prowling a month previous,
than fact resting upon certain proof
The singular circumstance makes
food for reflection. It may be a mere
happen so, but could not happen so
again once in ten thousand millions
OF times.
The case OF DR.. Webb is truly a
sad one Young yet, of unusually
line physical development, rapidly
acquiring celebrity in his profession
and making money, married to an in
.eresting lady Of fine family, and ap-
pareDtly attended by every condition
to promote his happiness, with sue
cess in future life we'll nigh assured,
a week ago bis friends had no sus-
picion Of mind diseased, and yes
terday in the city be was in charge Of
friends on his way to the Lnnatic
Asylum at Jackson. The disease
bad been rapid IN its development
since arst noticed and now reason
appears to be completely overthrown.
We may hope that prompt treatment
at that Institution viii restore him.
Dr. Webb Is q powerful man, and
last night failing to Inyeigle him on
the train, force had to be applied and
it required eight men to handcuf him
and put him on The train.
Capt B. 7. Rush vas returned
from the Lunatic Asylum yesterday
in a coffin. We have heard no par
ticulaTs about his death.-Meridian

italian HmmIgrntiOn for the
south.

The Italian peasant, especially from
the Northern provinces, is industri-
Gus, patient, saving and orderly.
Next to the Germans and Irish be
makes the best immigrant and sup
plies the best foreign population to
South America, particularly Buenos
Ayers and Brazil. There is a very
large flow Of these immigrants from
Genoa to Marseilles. They are driven
out by the heavy taxes on land, in
dustry and the necessaries OF life
which are imposed by the italian
system. The Italian peasant pays
eight times as much tax per capita
as the French, while his average
earnings are only a little more than
half as great. This system OF taxa
ton which Cavour pronounced 10 be
radically false, radically unjust, the
most oppressive Of all taxes" is
driving out the Italian peasants in
large numbers. The Southern States
could secure a population Of these by
proper efforts, and they would make
valuable additions to the population.
They would introduce skill and in
dustry. They know how to till cot
ton, corn, tobacco and wheat, and are
skillful also in the growing Of all
kinds Of fruit, olives, oranges,
lemons, grapes, etc. To the South
they would supply an immediate class
OF people versed in precisely those
small industries and home manu-
features in which that section Is most
deficient, and they would not need to
be acclimated, since the climate Of
Italy resembles that OF the South
very closely.
