On Saturday, October 28, two little
children, one four and the other two
years of age, we're burned to death in
Burns township, Anoka county, while
their mother, Mrs. John Foley, was dig.
ging potatoes in field about two miles
away from the house.
Gov. Knute Nelson is not stuck up be-
cause he is the executive head of the
state, says the Anoka Union. The writer
was witness of an incident on the Bur
liugton train from Chicago week before
last, when the governor gave up the
lower berth in sleeper to strange lady
and occupied the upper. Not many gov
ernors would do that, and the Union ad-
mires him for the kind act.

The Austin Herald is responsible for
the following story of well-to-do farmer
who lives in Olmsted county: When the
suspended Union National bank was
sending circulars to it's creditors this
farmer was much surprised to receive a
communication addressed TO him as a
| depositor, asking him to call at the bank.
Speaking of it afterward he said that
| when he got there he found that he was
| credited by the bank with $500, on cer-
tifcate issued twelve years ago, bearing
interest at per cent. He had forgotten
entirely about the deposit which, with the
accumulated interest, is now worth to
him something like $500. Asked it he
did not have the certificate of deposit he
| stated that he must have lost it.
