a Remarkable Parsonage at the
White House.

One day a man of remarkable appear

House and requested aud audience with
Mr.. Lincoln. lie was a large, tloshy man,
OF a stern but homcly countenance, and
Of a solemn and digniticd carriage. He
was dressed in neatly fitting swallow

ANOTHER FORGERY CASE.
This Time Frank TrIpp Secures S55
or More From the Singer
Sewing Machine Co.

Frank Trip was arrested at Waseca
Tuesday evening by Sheriff Piper on a
warrant sworn out by H. G. Burgess, gen.
eral agent of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company, charging him with forging J..
w. Hoerr's name to contract. At his
own request the examination has been
postponed until Saturday at two O'Clock,
and in the meantime he is an inmate of
the county Jail.
The particulars of the alleged crime
are these: Seven or eight months ago
Tripp, who was salesman for the Sing
er Co., made cash sale of a sewing ma
chine to Mr.. Hoerr and is claimed to
have pockcted the whole amount. 1t is
alleged that he then filed out a blank
contract, making the signer agree TO pay
for the machine in installments of S.
per month, and forged Mr.. Hoerr's
name TO it. This he turned over to the
company and received his commission.
Notices to pay the Installments were
sent to Mr.. Hoerr but he returned them
to Trip who probably destroyed them.
The true state of affairs was only dis
covered recently and the warrant was
sworn out yesterday. It's claimed that
other crookedness to the amount of from
$500 to $500 has been discovered in
Trips accounts. Trip is about forty
years of age and has always borne a
good reputation.

A SELF-MADE FIRM

One of our most substantial self-made
firms is that of Lee 4 Smith, who conduct
the general repair ard machine shop al
1876 West Jackson street. Though organ
lied only sixteen months ago the firm has
already established itself on firm and
permanent foundation and, as one of its
members recently informed a reporter,
is here to stay. 1t has succeeded in
drawing a large amount of business from
all of the neighboring towns and VII
lagos, as well as from the country and
has never yet had piece of work sent
back. Its trade is constantly increasing
and to show how it has been pushed,
although employing seven men, it is
only necessary to state that doing two
thirds of the past year night work has
been necessary.
The firm started out with only lathe,
planer and drill. Itnext added another
lathe and now has just received Davis
patent key-seater and slotter, and has
several other valuable pieces of machin-
cry on the road. It's tools cannot be
beaten and, employing the best of me-
chanics, it is no wonder that its work
gives 30 universal good satisfaction.
With nothing but the very latest and
most improved machinery Lee & Cir
WINS shop may with truth be pro-
nounced one of the very best equipped
to be found, and anyone will be con-
WINGED of this if he will take the trouble
to give them call.
Besides doing all kinds of repairing
and machine work, the firm turns out
all varieties OF castings. Its members
are also contractors and their figures are
always found as low as anyone's COM
patable with good work. The gentle
men are deserving of success which we
trust they may attain.

BLUE EARTH COUNTY BAR AS
SOCIATION.

The Blue Earth County Bar Associa-
ton is an old organization, but of late
has been allowed to fall into "innocuous
desuetude." Officers have not been
elected for several years and on this ac-
count it has been found rather embar-
RAISING when it is desirable to have a
meeting called. Immediately after Mr..
Collester's funeral the question of re-
organizing the association was discussed,
though nothing ever came of it. Thurs
day afternoon, however, the matter
was again brought up at the meeting and
new and permanent organization was
effected. The following officers were
chosen until the date of the next annual
election; s
President-E. P. Freeman.
Vice President-Thomas Hughes.
Secretary-W. +. Young.
Treasurer-Judge j. +. Porter.
The Association comprises all the
lawyers in the county and could be made
a stfong and valuable organization. A
set of fixed charges for different services
was adopted several wears ago and il
still in force.

TREE PULLING IN WINTER.

Mr.. Firestone, of the firm of Jensen d
Firestone, of Mankato, informs us that
in the timber the ground is as free from
frost as in midsummer. He had an OPP
portunity to demonstrate this fact yes
terday in a most thorough manner. The
firm above mentioned sold to Mr.. Ploog,
of Decoria, tree puller, and Mr.. Fire
stone went out to his place to test the
merits ofthe machine. The trees yielded
to the litter as nicely as could be wished
and every root followed. He had ex-
pected to find the ground frozen to a
moderate depth, but as before stated
nothing of the kind existed, and il
proves conclusively that farmers who
have timber land to clear can devote
their time during the winter months ir
a profitable manner. The process o.
pulling trees from the ground, leaving
no stumps or roots is altogether prefer
able to the old way of chopping dowr
trees and then grubbing out the roots
One machine will pull as many trees al
six men can trim and pile the limbs.
Jensen & Firestone are alive TO the
wants of the farmers in every class o
improved machinery, and parties il
want of anything in the line of farm ma
chinery should give them call.

AIN EVENING BLAZE.
]. L, Gillen's Residence and Contents De-
strOyed- Insurance Nearly Covers

About half-past nine Monday even
ing Mr.. j. L. Gillen's residence on South
State street was discovered to be on ire
and dn alarm was turned in immediate.
ly. BY the time that the fire depart
ment could reach the ground the flames
we're bursting from the kitchen win
dows. 1t was some time before the
necessary hose could be gotten in work.
ing order, the nearest hYdrant being
four blocks distant and over 1900 feet of
hose being required. On account of the
distance when stream was at last Sc
cured il was but feeble one and had
no effect on the flames which had, under
a strong south wind, gained Roadway
with terrible rapidity. Within five
after the fire first burst out the
entire. building was enveloped. The
sight, though dread one, was grand as
the flames and smoke rolled in inverse
cataracts around the roof and darted out
of windows and rolled mp through crew
ices in the roof and walls. 1t was eu-
dent from the first that nothing could
save the building and it was not long
before it was reduced TO mass of
ashes.
So rapid was the course of the fiery
element that practically nothing could
be saved. The family saved nothing but
he clothes they wore. Mr.. Gillen, who
S employed in one of the stone quar-
RES, was down town when the fire
started and his family were unaware of
he danger until smoke was found issu-
ng from the rooms next to those in
which they were seated. 1t is not known
definitely how the fire started but it is
FROM defective flue.
The building was medium sized two
tory structure and was formerly owned
" Z. d. Jones. the marble-works man,
vho sold it TO Mr.. Gillen four years ago.
t contained a pool table and consider
BILE valuable furniture. The total loss
1as about $500. There is an insurance
f $500 on the building and $500 on the
lrniture through J. I. Williams < Sons
