JOY of thy Lord"
The Last, Sad Rites.
It is expected that the remains of
Hon. j. P. Moulton will arrive in
Worthington on Monday morning at
2:20 by the early train. On Tuesday
morning at $50, brief funeral SER
vices will be held at the Congrega-
tional church, after which the family
will take the remains to the family
burial ground at Rochester, MIMI,
leaving on the II 20 train going east.
While at Mankato, few days
recently, we called at the jail to see
John Layne, now held for the muir
der of Harry Walraven. The prisoner
is somewhat subdued, and has pale,
haggard look;'yet he attempts to con-
ceal his real feelings, by assuming a
brave demeanor. In conversation
with the sheriff's wife we learned that
the detectives and officers are in pos
session of facts that are sure to con-
vict Laynovhen the trial comes off.
Only a small portion of the evidence
has been given out to the public. The
lady also informed us that Layne has
been i'll most of the time he has been
incarcerated. having had the atten-
ton of a physician every day since
his arrest. At times Layne is quite
sullen, and, seems on the brink of
breaking down. His "nerve," how
ever, will probable not desert him
until verdict is reached. He sent
no word to his Worthington ''friends."
1.-THE hotel advertising fakir,"
says the Luverne Herald, "has been
in town this week, and as usual
worked his little scheme successfully.
Twelve firms in this city paid him
$50 each to have their business
printed On IS placards to be posted
in two hotels Of this place. The cards
were printed at the Herald office and
the work cost 81. Thus the twelve
business firms referred to paid SIS
for what they could have secured for
81. In other words they paid the
fakir who "w0rked' them S14 for his
services
A dispatch from Luverne says
Leo T. Wise sold his farm west of
town last week and intended to leave
this week for Colorado. Saturday
night he was arrested on the charge
Of forging NJ. V. Perry's name to sew
eral notes. Perry is father-in-law to
Wise, and the amount of forged pa
per SO far found is nearly 81 900.
Wise was bound over to appear be-
fore the grand jury next March, and
went to jail in default of bonds.
Miss Roddey, of Minneapolis,
gave an evolutionary entertainment
at the Congregational church last
evening. The audience
was small but appreciative. The
lady is a recitationist Of considerable
note and we regret that there were
50 few out to enjoy her entertainment.
Should she again visit our city we
feel certain that she would be greet
ed by much larger audience.
Six lots sold in Clary addition in
October. With the growth of Wor-

when these lots will double in value
The lots are large and can he sold or
very easy payments:> If you want to
buy or trade farm call at Bank OF
