Young Swayne got off with light
sentence, vet il is enough to be warn
ing to other boys who are disposed TO go
TO the bad. The youth who lets himself
be drawn into evil habits and wrong
doing may get along smoothly fora time,
but sooner or later he comes to disgrace.
Let the case in question serve as re-
minder to all our young friends That
"honesty is the best policy"
From the Goth to the Goth of June,

the General Lutheran Synod of Mis-
souri,, Ohio and other States will hold its

expected to attend; so ministers, 80
parochial school teachers and SO laymen,

Mrs. A. Abbott, member OF the

at ten o'clock to-day. Services being
held at the barracks, and Rev. Rule Of

-Fairmont Sentinel: 1t Is rumored
that Henry Moore, the great cattle
herder, who had a drove of about 100
head across the line in Emmett county,
has skipped the country, taking with
him to Sioux City hundred or more
cattle. Several Martin county farmers,
and large number i'm Blue Earth coun-
~ will be heavy loses if the report is
true.
The musical entertainment given ut
the NJ. +. church last evening passed off
with great success and was thoroughly
enjoyed by an appreciative audience.
The program as published was rendered
without exception in manner which
did credit TO those participating. Be-
sides contributions from the best of our
local talent, the program Included sew
eral selections by Miss Brush, the TALENT
ed contralto of the st. Paul ladies' quar-
tette. This lady met a reception which
certainly must have gratified her, and
vet was entirely well-merited. She pos
sesses magnificent contralto 70 C over
which she has perfect control, and en-
tering completely into the spirit of her
song, carries the audience with her. She
sang two solos and was compelled each
time to respond to the hearty encore
which followed. 1t was the wish of ali
present that Miss Brush's visits TO the
city might be frequent. Another fine
feature of the program was the clari-
onet solos by Will Schwanenberg. This
young man has not made many public
appearances but showed last night that
he has the talent as well as cultivation
of fine artist on his particular instru-
ment. There were other portions o. the
program that should be particularly
mentioned, such as Miss Nellie An
drews' excellent singing, but our space
allows only the statement that each per-
former earned the appreciation Of the
entire audience, as was evinced in the
applause which followed each number.
There are many who consider it the
most excellent concert of the season,
and the credit for its success is largely
due 10 the efforts of Miss Allie Andrews
under whose direction the arrangements
were made. The attendance was not as
large as it should have been, though the
society is well satisfied with the net re-
