Heron Lake News: Geo. W. VIII
son, of Worthington, one of the
ablest attorneys in Southwestern
Minnesota, stopped in: Heron Lake
Monday, between trains on his way
to Jackson to attend court. ~:
The Adrian Guardian endorses
the action of Judge Bennett in dis
missing the suit brought against Prof.
Porter, and Worthington had
another sensation last week, in the
arrest oflProf. Edgar L. Porter, OF the
public schools, on Friday, for cruelty
to a pupil. It was alleged that the
professor had inflicted too severe
punishment on the person of a pupil
"a boy of about fourteen-but after
careful review of the case, the jury
acquitted Prof. Porter. The average
school boy of that age is very easily
imposed upon and abused, in his own
way of looking at it, but actual cruelty
is very seldom practiced by the educa-
tor of today, and there is not friend
of the school but will rejoice at such a
termination of all such cases of this
kind brought before the courts.
Listener in the Window Reporter
says:-The Listener understands that
the Bible wagon which is now travel
ing over this Sunday school district
is unloading TO-. the public in these
counties something like 500 worth Of
Bibles month. N.Y.! what lot Of
heathens there must be out here on the
prairie!-One hundred dollars worth
a month! Great Scott! How long
can this thing keep up' The wagon
has been at work several months,
bibles are cheap, and I should think
the wagon would run out ofsbusiness.
But am told that Mr.. Holmes will,
henceforth, for time at least, take
personal charge of the work and then
it will be pushed, for Holmes is moth
ing if not energetic. But where is the
market to come from?. People are
not coming into the district as fast as
the books are. being sold, and the
only thing we can attribute this large
sale to is that the people all left their
bibles in the old country when they
came to live in Southwestern Mime
sofa.
The situation at Luverne, as des-
cribed by the Herald, is the same at
Worthington: Complaint has been
made to Postmaster Halves by the
postofice department that too many
letters are mailed in the postal car at
this place. It appears that several
parties here make a practice of taking
their letters to the mail car every
morning. In letter on this subject
the second assistant postmaster gen
eral says: Railway postoffice boxes
are not intended to be used as gener-
al repositories by the public for mail
matter, but solely for the convenience
