Death Of Owen Edwards.

Last saturday morning the dead body
of Gwen Edwards, an old pioneer of the
county, was found underneath the side
track OF the Milwaukee road, just back
of City Hall. Coroner Durkee held an
inquest during the day and the follow.
ing facts were elected. Mr.. Edwards
came To town on the afternoon train
from Lake Crystal and was just return

in Nebraska. lie spent the afternoon
and evening about town and appeared

of liquor. Between : and s o'clock
policeman Kelly took him To the Sioux
City depot, intending to send him Oh the
evening train to Lake Crystal. but was
a few moments too late. About 1890
O'Clock, according to policeman kelleys
testimony, Edwards left the Clifton
House. saying he Was going to South
Bend. llCNwcnt M the street, us far rs
the FIRST National Bank, then crossed
:hc street to the Merchants Hotel. The
night clerk saw him there and told him
he could not stay, when he went out.
This was the last seen of him alive.
From there il is altogether probable he
followed the sidewalk 10 the open space
just south of City Hall. where he got off
the walk and wandered Ia the fiat in the
rear OF that building. In going over
this rugged path, he seems to have
stumbled and fallen once or twice and
in tallilr. struck his head against II
stump making a small cut back of the
ear. Stupid with liquor, loss of sleep
(having not slept much for two nights
and stunned by the blow he finally fell

500 pounds for best COW of Goodman's herd
Ontario county N. Y.
500 pounds reported from Dolhi FAIR, b,
Edward Edgcrton.
Here we have an aggregate of 500;
pounds ofbutter for ten Jerseys, making
an average of 500 pounds per cow.
In comparison with these figures, LEI
us now take the following
BUTTER YIELDS FOR OTHER BREEDS.
For Short-horns 5i3 pounds, reported for
Maid az Athol in Americaa igricaifinia.
For Holstcins, 800 pounds, for Colonel Hotr.
For natives. 4s5 poul'tis, for the Cakes COW,
of Massachusetts.
For Devons, $50 pounds for COW of w. Will
| ton, Now Hampshire.
For AyrshIrcs, $50 pounds, for Holton's
| Daisy, Western New York.
This shows IN aggregate of 1867 lbs.
of butterfor five cows of different breeds
making an average of Alb pounds per
COW, being 100 pounds less than the
average OF ten Jerseys, and 800 pounds
less than the product OF the best Jersey.
1t is therefore evident, and should be
well understood, that pedigree is very
essential element in the value of cows.
But ii is also true and no less important
to know that grade animals in well
managed dairy can be made, rs Il rule,
quite rs productive AS thorough breds,
and often more 40. Yet this does not
1T ull imply that the latter can be dis
pcnscd with, for we can not have a
good quality OF grades without good
strain of blood to start from. While
ii is conceded that pedigree is one of
the factors in the value of good cow,
il is not by any means the only factor.
Maximum results in the dairy are not
the sole outcome of any single condition.
They depend not merely on the capacity
and breed of the COW, but also and
equally on the intelligence and good
management of the owner; and what is
equally true, but seldom considered,
even the capacity Of the cow is itself
to a great extent the product of human
skill.
The Dairymen's Association which
will convene in the city of Mankato, on
the 18th of February is designed largely
to dwell on what is considered as the
most profitable breeds for farmers to
purchase who propose to give the dairy
that attention which its importance de-
mands and which its profits are sure to
bring about. No one interested in ag
riculturc can afford TO let this opportu-
nifty for acquiring knowledge from prac-
tical stock breeders and thorough butter
makers escape them, and all should de-
eide now TO become members, partici-
pate in the proceeding and profit bv the
lessons inculcated. 1t is grand move
ment in the interest of progressive agri-
culture, and the farmers should appre-
ciate this fact by dong all within their
power to make the meeting Il magnlfi-
cent success.

The morning and afternoon sessions
were, as usual, devoted to congregation
al singing. The leaders were II. H.

In the evening grand concert was
given. The most prominent pieces
sung were, "Tcyrnasoedd y Ddaear,"
led by Mr.. o. J. Hughes, "Old Hun

by II. II. Jones and JIallalujah chorus,
led by Hugh d. Hughes. The singing
of these choruses were mastery and

The Normal School.

Owing TO general desire of the stu
dents to see the work recently sent by
the school 10 st. Paul, it was decided to
put it on exhibition, on Its return, in the
Library, Tor few days, so that those
students and citizens who might desire
to inspect il, might have an opportuni-
ty. An unaccountable delay in the re-
turn OF the two large class pictures rem
dercd it impossible 10 complete the ar-
engagements before Tuesday last. Every
afternoon since then the room has been
filled with an admiring throng. With
plenty of wall space and the long CEN
trail table the exhibition was more strik-
ing than AT 81. Paul, where many things
had to remain largely unseen in port
folios.
The Choral Society of the school, or
ganiZcd during the Fall term, has al
ready established its right to be by
series Of profitable and delightful meet
ingS. The object OF the society is to
cultivate knowledge ofmusical history
and taste for good music. At each
bi-monthly evening meeting the life
and works of some celebrated composer
are considered and special attention
given TO particular one of his works,
of which a, least specimen portions are
! rendered Each member is expected to
furnish musical item. Miss Hutche-
son is conductor and Miss Wagner plan
ist The sessions are held in the music
room. Probably the public will, IN the
near future, have an opportunity to
form some judgment Of the value of this
new organization.
4 goodly number of new students
have entered the school since the hOli
DAY vacation. The total enrolment fOl
the year is now largely in excess of 400
and is likely to reach 800 before the
close.
