DEATH OF MRS NJ. $. WILKINSON


The sad news of the death at Wells
"Wednesday evening" at eight O'Clock,
in this city Thursday morning.
About SIX weeks ago Mrs. Wilkinson
met with a severe accident through q
fail, from which she has never recover
ed. Her condition has daily grown
more critical until death put an end TO
her sufierings last night:
Mrs. wilkinson resided in this city
with her husband the greater part Of
twenty years. She was little over six
ty years of age and was formerly resi-
dent of Michigan, where she was mar
ried. Her maiden name was Sallie Ann
Boss. After residing in saltwater, Ho-
kah and st. Paul for number of years
she moved to this city with her husband
in 1858. When Mr.. Wilkinson was
elected.to the u. s. Senate in 1860 his
wife accompanied him to Washington
and spent the six wears of his term IN
that city and in New York state. In
1877, or thereabouts, they moved to
Wells and have since resided there.
Two children were borne to them, Nor
ton, who now lies in Glenwood ceme-
terry, and Ella, who is the wife of Mr..
Jolh oIOWbtOiy q ANoPCNsCN
Wells and brother of Mr.. Geo. III.
Brewster, of this city.
Mrs. Wilkinson leaves large number
of friends in this city and county to
whom she had endeared herself by her
noble character and splendid traits
Both in the social and home circle she
was model woman. She was lady of
rare attainments and never failed to at
tract favorable attention. True sorrow
is expressed at her demise by those who
had once enjoyed her acquaintance In
this city.
The remains were brought 10 this
CITY on the Wells train Friday morn
ing at eight O'Clock and buried beside
those of her son.
The deceased was an active member
of the Methodist church and took a
great interest In all religious affairs.
The bereaved husband and daughter
have the heartfelt sympathy of Mankato
friends in their loss.
Funeral services were be held at the
Methodist church in this city at ten
o'clock FRIDAY forenoon.

"Give Him So, And Let Him Guess"

We once heard a man complain of
feeling badly, and wondered what allied
him. A humorous friend said, "Give a
doctor 50, ard let him guess" 1t was a
cutting satire on some doctors, who don't
always guess right. You need not guess
what ails you when your food don't di-
gest, when your bowels and stomach are
Inactive, and when your head aches ev-
cry day, and you are languid and easily
fatigued. You are bilious, and DR..
Plerce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets will
bring you out all right. Small, sugar.
coated, easy to take. Of druggists.

The work of boring for natural gas
at Minneopa Falls was begun Monday
noon and is being pushed. If gas is not
reached at a depth of 1000 feet the at

that gas will be found in Freedom coun-
ty IN large quantity at depth of 500 to

We have a specimen of rye on exhi-
bitIon in this Office that was grown on
Mr.. Burt's farm, in Lime town, and
brought in last evening. 1t is over five
feet in height and is certainly a surpris-
ingly large growth for this time of the
year, considering the weather, and I'M
folds the untold possibilities of this coun-
try and climate in the way of grain
growing. 1t is fair sample of a large
yield and is healthy and vigorous.
-Messrs. ]. G. Fowler and Jacob Wa
gen have formed partnership, and will

up for their use opposite B. ID. Smith g

they are bound to attain. They will be

out fear that one of them would jun p

of being made deaf for life by one OF

picking ones way successfully through a
sea of mud, if your boy would not come

wanted. 1t was, undoubtedly, angelic of
them; and if I dissented, 1t was in re-
spectful silence, for as soon would use a
