Hundreds of small birds persisted in
the cold weather which reached its great
est intensity last Monday morning. On
that morning famers found them lying
thick around their barns, and it is sup
posed they attempted to seek shelter in
these buildings. Many dead birds were
also found along the roads in the fields.
The theory is that the birds were nearly
starved for want of food, being unable to
obtain worms which had gone deep down
into the ground, and consequently they
could not endure the cold.-Ooatonna

The annual death rate per 1000 in
habitants, as given in the latest published
report of the National Board of Health,
is 34.5 for Minneapolis and 1913 for St.
Paul. Of Al cities reported, Minneapolis
shows the highest mortality. This high
rate is undoubtedly largely due to the
great number of sickly people who come
to Minnesota for their health, the greater
number being past all help, flock to the
cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul for
medical assistance and to die.

1ncendiarism is getting to be almost of too
common occurrence, and our authorities
should leave no means untried to discover
the guilty parties, and mete out to them
the most severe punishment possible

In sentencing Toohey, the Minneapo-
lis wife murderer, to the penitentiary,
Judge Young made the following remarks
to the criminal. They should be read by
every drinker and seller of Intoxicating
liquors:
'Latterly your life seems to have been
one of drunkenness and debauch. By the
constant and excessive use of this vile
drink, you have burned out OF your nature
all of the manhood and nobility you ever
possessed, and became thus fit to commit
this most revoltiEg crime in which you
have murdered your wife and made
orphans of your children, leaving them
unprotected and alone in the world,
and earned for yourself felon's doom.
And while your own responsibility is not
lessened, those persons who have sold you
the liquor which has destroyed your man
hood and fired your brain, fitting you for
the deed you committed, cannot be held
guiltless. They will not share your pun
ishment; but tried by test of moral &C
countability, they must stand convicted as
partakers in this, your crime. And if in
this paltry sum you have given to them
as consideration for their share in this
sad tragedy they can find any consolation,
they are entitled to all it brings them"
