Father Watrv's Chang e,

Rev. Father F. Watry, formerly of
this city, but later of Jacksonville,
Oregon, has withdrawn from the
Catholic church and has entered the
Pacific Theological Seminery at Oak
land, California, to prepare for the
ministry in the Congregational
church. This took place last month
and appears to have been voluntary
Oh the part of Father Watry, as his
relations with the archbishop OF
Portland and with the people of his
mission were, we understand, most
friendly and cordial. The fact that
it very rare y occurs thata a Catholic
priest withdraws from his church
lakes Father Watry's step seem
very remarkable.-Rra Journal.
Father Watry was at one time
pastor Of the German-English Catho.
lie church OF this city.

Failure at Richmond.

Later Developments show that
the failure Of NJ. A. Bussen, dealer in
general merchandise at Richmond, is
one of the heaviest known in the
country, at least recently. His
liabilities are about $25,O00. 1t is
caused by his safe having been de-
'positorg for the farmers OF that
section who are quite prosperous.
and there was no bank in the village
The deposits ranged from $50 to
$1,500. He was an old merchant,
having been engaged in business
there about twenty years, and the
people generally had the utmost
confidence in him. The assets are
said to be only about $4,000. The
claims from wholesale houses arc not
large. He owed his bookkeeper,
about $3,5O0. He was closed at the
instance of the Baupre Mercantile
company of st. Gnrnal Press.

Fire Bug Arrested.

Clarence Sargeant, a young man
about twenty years of age who has
been in the employ OF the st. Cloud
Paper Mill company for number of
months, was arrested last night by
Deputy Sheriff HIS. Doty and locked
up at the county Jail. The warrant
upon which Sergeant was taken in
to custody was sworn out yesterday
afternoon by Captain j. E. West,
the manager t>f the paper mill COM
pany. He charges that Sergeant at
tempted to burn the mill on the
night of the 9th inst. About three
O'Clock a. IN. the men working in the
mill discovered light in the lower
spartof the building, and upon in
vestigation found that fire had been
set to a pile of paper and slavings
thrown between some barrels which
were piled in a corner OF the base
nent. The fire was quickly ex-
tinguished, as the mill is abundantly
supplied with water. In fact, it
would be difficult to destroy the
building at any time in that way.
Sargeant assisted in putting out
the flames but circumstantial evi-
dence is SAID to have implicated hin,
in the attempt to burn the building.
Since that time he has made a con
fession to +. p. West admitting that
he had set the fire Times.

The Adams Case Dismissed.

Most of our people will remember
George and David Adams who died
about a year ago at Royalt0n. A
case which came up in probate court
Saturday, shows that although
they are dead some Of their pecu-
liza rites remain
David Adams had in Mr. Maxwell's
bank, $500, and wished to draw it
out and deposit it with the First
National. He gave his certificate of
deposit to his brother George, and
the latter drew the money and de-
posted it as requested, only he de-
posted it in his name instead of
David's, and did not think of the
difference it made until David spoke
to him about it. The brothers en-
pected to do some building here the
next spring, and left the money as it
was. But before spring both OF the
brothers died, and now it will prob
ably cost the $500 to get the matter
Strengthened out.
The first chapter occurred Satur-
day, when a motion toscompel L. d..
t Forbes, (who is administrator OF
both estates) to tranfer $500 from
the estate of George Adams to that
of David Adams.
Upon motion of the attorneys for
the administrato the case was dis
missed on the ground that the pro-
bate court did not have sufficient
Jurisdiction.
The attorneys in the case are, Tay-
lor, Calhoun & Rhodes for heirs of
David Adams, AndrewC. Robertson,
of st. Cloud, for heirs of George
Adams and c. A. and F. A. Lind
bergh and f. =. Adams for l.. D.

This year promises to be as remarkable

This year promises to be as remarkable
for fire, food, accident and disaster as
1892 was. The most appalling disaster
thus far is the inundation at Brisbane,
Queensland The streets of the city were
covered with water to depth of 80 feet,
and in the suburbs houses 60 feet high
were in some cases wholly under water.
The suffering among the people who es-
capped with their lives is only less deplor-
able than the thought of the scores who
lost their lives.

it was meant to benefit and could be

Millers Infringe Oh VIM. E. Lees
Patent.

An action has been begun liz the
United States court which means
much to the millers of this section of
the country. William E. Lee claims
that Oct. 13, 1874, the patent office
issued to him letters No. 155, ,S74 on
seed separator, and that he has al
ways been the owner of the device.
It is described thus:
IA machine for separating cookie
from wheat, comprising a sheet
metal cylinder, perforated with holes
just large enough to receive the
cookie, but too small for wheat,
with a skin belt as wide as the
length of the cylinder surrounding it
so as to cause the perfOratiOn to re-
tain the cookie and carry it up and
throw it onto a a>descending shaking
trough, hanging in the cylinder
above the wheat, to chute the cookie
out at one end and above the
cylinder, where it is not covered by
the belt, a. revolving brush is ar
ranged, to brush back onto the
chute any grain that may stick to
the perforations, and the chute has a
brush at one edge to brush down the
wheat and leave the cookie in the
hole"
The plaintiff claims that ever since
Aug. 21, 1883, the II defendents
named in as many separate actions,
have been using similar device
without the payment of any royalty
whatever, and he asks the folio wing
amounts at the hands of the court
from each:

Fletcher, Holmes Co., $4,000; Petit,

That vexed question-whether man
may shoot his neighbor's hens when they
trespass on his grounds-nas at length
been decided by an English court. When
Browns hens fly over into Jones' wheat
fields and raise old scratch, Jones may
up with his little gun and kill them after
he has previously warned Brown to keep
them at home. He will be liable there
for in damages only equal to the value
of the chickens killed. That is to say, if
a mans poultry damages his neighbor,
the neighbor must inform him of the
fact and warn him to keep the fowls at
home If this is not done and the poul-
try again trespasses, the damaged man
may shoot them on the spot and be re-
quired to pay the owner only what they
are worth per chicken, whether as live
bird or dead one is not stated

A Joint Birthday Celebration.

A Joint Birthday Celebration.
The man who has made Che greatest
impression on scientific thought in this
century was born in England Feb. 12,
1909. On the same day there was born
in this country man who has made on
the worlds history the greatest impress.
sion Of any American since Washington.
The Englishman was Charles Darwin;
the American was Abraham Lincoln.
No one has as yet thought to arrange a
celebration jointly commemorating the
birthday of these two illustrious men.
Next year let US hope the Lincoln-Dar-
win birthday will be thus actually OBJ
served. It could be made the occasion
for an interchange of graceful and kind
ly courtesies between Englishmen and
Americans
One Of the most noteworthy objects at
a Lincoln birthday banquet in recent
years was the portrait Of Lincoln with
the state arms of New York upon one
side of it and the state arms of Virginia
and "Sic semper tyrannis" on the other.
If Lincoln could have looked down upon
that scene, the great, loving, suffering
soul Of the man would have felt compen-
sated for all he had endured. If any
thing could have added further to his
peace and joy, it would have been to hear
a southern orator who had been in the
Confederate army say, 1.-THE southern
people knew not how much of hope for
them, how much of love, how much
helpfu1ness in their hour of sorest need
lay buried in the coffin of Abraham Lin
coln."
Darwin's life, too, had it's tragic side.
It was found in the prosecutions and
misrepresentation that greeted his first
PRONUNCIATION of the evolution theory,
found, too, in the physical pain and suf-
fering he endured bravely and patiently
as martyr all the later years Of his life.
Perhaps the broken health came in con-
sequence of the persecution and disap-
proval.
Neither Darwin nor Lincoln gave in
childhood any promise Of the greatness
that was to be. Darwin was almost
Ounce at school till he reached young
manhood, when he showed the tastes of
a naturalist. His father tried vainly to
| make physician of him. It will as
tonish many persons to know that after
this idea was given up the attempt was
made to educate him for a preacher, a
plan he himself did not oppose, for phre-
nologists have given him alarge protuber-
ance at veneration But he was so slow,
so backward in his studies that nothing
came of that either He said of himself,
AT no time am quick thinker or
writer; whatever | have done in science
has solely been by long pondering. pa
