AGbost in Marble

There is small town not many miles
south of Minneapolis, on the Omaha
road, which, few years ago. had a
most amusing experience in the ghostly
line. There was an old farmer, whom
] will call Fred for convenience, who
used TO make a practice of going into
the town, and, after staying till very
late at night around one or two of the
several saloons in the place, he would
start home with a very large-sized
''jag" on.
About a mile out Of the village
there was cemetery some thir-
ty years old-one of the Oldest in
she country. One very dark night when
Fred was trudging home with his usual
"lOad;' Oh, he noticed something white
Standing near the outer fence. The
roadway along there happened TO be
filled with rocks. and in his drunken
fear, Fred began 10 lombard the white
object with the implements so ready at
hand. After continuing this sport for
q half hour or so, Fred concluded that
he had knocked outn Mr.. ghost and he
passed on home.
Judge Of his surprise when he was
called on by a neighbor the next day
and invited to contribute $50 for the
purpose of erecting a new monument
20 the neighbours father and mother.

pillar, aid Fred had hacked it up so
BADLY that new one had to be pro-
Vided.
Fred hasn't seen ghost for some

The Mankato Spectral Dance.


''Have You ever seen an Indian war

New Years night ut Mankato several
gears ago.
OF course / answered the query in the
negative, as had not seen half dozen
Indians all told up TO this time, as / had

the Indians. As far as | could learn
there were none in the near vicinity of
Mankato and, for that matter, few
nearer than Redwood Falls. The even

with my guide to see the great dance.
On the way my companion told he that
it was spectral or ghoStly dance that
was to see, and not performance by

Henry PoehIer,s spook.

The big woods of Minnesota, south of
tile Mississippi river, stretch for up
wards OF eighty miles south of the Twin
Cities. and cover large portion of
Scott, Carver, Sibley, NicOlIet, Blue
Earth, Mcleod and lie Sueur counties.
In early times. say thirty-tiVe or forty
years ago, when all transportation was
done by means of teams or the river, a
road was opened up from st. Paul di-
rectly southwest, in the direction of
Sioux City, and for the greater part Of
the distance was through an almost I'M
broken forest. This road passed through
Henderson, Carver, Chaska, lie Sueur
and st. Peter.
At that time Hon. Henry Paehler
was running large general store at
Henderson and making those friends
who afterWard sent him TO congress.
MIR. POehler might have been the hero
of the following story: Early one sum-
mer day young man started south
from st. Paul TO Henderson with load
of supplies. A broken wagon, among
other things, found driver, team and
supplies about twenty miles south of
st. Paul at nightfall, and full ten miles
from a stopping place, ard nearly all of
this distance lay through forest.
Nothing daunted, the sturdy young
herman plunged INTO the forest. he
hadn't driven far when he felt" as he
afterwards said, "that he had company,
and, turning around" he continued,

and rider, more horrible than ever. At
tile first opening, few miles on, rider
and horse disappeared, but as long as ]
live i shall never forget the awful
sight and my feelings during that
ride"

lcftyitv Mt Eureku.

EUREKA-There is considerable activity
in the Eureka district, and recent develop
ments make this section of oildom look
favorable. This opinion is strengthened by
the advent of the Acre-and a-Half well, To-
Gated three-quarters ot a mile in advance OF
defined territory on the Virginia side Of the
river. The we'll was completed yesterday,
and started off at q 50-barrel per day gait.
The conclusion is further confirmed by the
completion q day or so ago Of the Brown
we'll on the Brown farm, located ~ miles
in advance OF producing wells on the Ohio
side This we'll is flowing rs barrels day
through the casing. The Brown well looks
as if the belt was extended on the Ohio side
TX miles, while the Acre-and-a- Half ven
ture shows there is reasonably good digging
three-quarters Of mile ahead on the VIr-
ginia side OF the river.
The we'll on the Rowland farm, about 30
rods west of the Brown strike. is due to get
the sand in eight or ten DAYS. Ackerly &
Lammel, on the Charles Green farm, so rods
east from the Brown well, will soon COM
plete another well, which to some extent
will determine the width of the belt to the
east. On the Greenwood they will also have
a we'll due the first of the week. They al so
have another down down 500 feet and two
rigs up on the same farm, two on the J. B.
Green building, and one nearly complete on
the Charles Green farm.

one sees at night, sitting around on
benches placed against the walls of the
stable, from which all stalls have been re-
moved, and also upon store boxes. highly
delighted groups of men who drink princi-
pally out of the bottles, as the glasses have
ali been broken long ago. There they sit
and drink and talk and sing, but never
fight until the hour for closing comes.
That hour is generally when they quit
ordering beer, be it 10 or 10 o'clock. In the
yard adjoining the same scenes are enacted.
THE OLDEST OF ALL.
George Wurzell's saloon is the oldest Of
all these odd drinking saloons. Originally
ii was q tinshop and for that matter Mr..
Wurzel still carries on that business and
has a big stock of tinware on hand. A
customer wanting bottle of beer enters the
storeroom proper, passes through, ana as he
does SO orders his beer, after which he goes
into the workshop in the rear, there he takes
q seat on the workbench, stool, box or
whatever he can find to sit on and
environed by tin shaping machines, solder
pots, coils OF iron, rolls of tin and all the
paraphernalia OF the work room of tin
ware establishment, he guzzles beer until
he is satisfied at 10 cents per bottle. 1t is
very odd and at the same time has peculiar
fascination that makes many men visit the
place who would scorn toenter legitimate
barroom.
So tar no one has been prosecuted except
Wagner and his case is now psnding in the
Beaver Court, yet he is selling all the same
and the two firms he represents will back
him up to the bitter end. The places are
conducted quietly, the workingmen like
them as they can get more liquor and as
good for their money as at hotel, and the
prospects are that the original package
saloons have come to stay until an act of
Congress does away with them.

A Family Notified That They Will Soon be
in Possession OF Fortune.
LAwRENcEBURG, IND, August Lit is
not often that one who has worked for all
his life on farm comes into possession of
81, 0OO, 900 in day, and yet such an event
is soon to happen to family living at Sun
man, in this State. In 1776 Mary Bentley,
OF New York City, leased tract of land
there to the Government for SO years. The
land was on the outskirts of the city, but as
years rolled by and the city began its mar
yelous growth, the tract was surrounded By
colossal palaces Of trade and mansions. The
Government, seeing a chance to profit,
subleased the ground to many different per-
sons, and it has been built on and improved,
and lying in the heart of the city, its i'm
mense value can easily be understood. In
1875 the lease expired, and no one appearing
to claim the property, legal hight OF in
mense proportions was begun between the
sub-lessees and the Government prominent
among the former were the heirs of the
older Cornelius Vanderbilt. The Govern
ment was successful and gained possession
of the property, and at the same time the
heirs Of the original lessor began to assert
their rights, and after another legal battle
they were sustained and the property held
for them.
After years of hunting for the unknown
heirs they have all been found, and the
property ordered sold and the money dis
tributed. The Boldrey family, OF Sunman,
of whom there are five, are among these
heirs, Mary Bentley being their great
grandmother, and they have been notified
by their attorney in New York City that the
distribution will soon be made and that
their share will be 100000 apiece. AS
they are all good, honest, hard-working citi-
all who know them.

HER SECRET OF SUCCESS.


Why the Tens and Dinners Of n Most Charm.
Ing Lady nre so Attractive.
What woman In America does not know the
bright, vivacious and charming Jenny Junef
The name she so aptly adopted, seems to be in
harmony with her writings, and she has done
great deal to bring giadness into the homes of
America. But it is not perhaps known to all
ladies that Jenny June. in addition to holding
the office of President of the Sorosis Society," as
she did for so many years, has been a devoted
wife and mother, and has a most charming
home. Good taste and all that real art can pro-
duce, have been expended in her home and her
charming teas and cozy dinners have for years
been the delight of her select army of friends.
In conversation with lady friend short time
since, she said that the quality of a dinner de-
pends not only upon the way in which 1t is pre-
pared and arranged. but also upon the quality
of the materials used. 'Take, for example,
baking powder. If it is not of the proper
quality no housewife can produce good food.
l use 'Thepure' Baking Powder and find it ex-
cellent. 1t makes light and delicious biscuit,
and cake that 'melts' in everybody's mouth. It
is certainly great success"
Such in brief is what one of the most popular
ladies In America has to say in regard to her
success as a charming housekeeper. That it
there can be no doubt, and as such 1t is COM
mended to their careful consideration. If Jenny
june finds Thepure Baking Powder SO valuable
in her home, is it not plain that other ladies
might meet with greater success In their baking
If they also used it? jyl3-2l-ws
