school in this city in July and August
lnasmuch as these schools are of in

St. Peter Tribune: D. E. Laird
the new postmaster at Redwood Falls
is % years old, and it is claimed that
he is the youngest postmaster in the
United States. Several years may
pass before his moustache develops
but the beard is there and visible
else the picture does not represent
the principal. Possibly, Dallas may
have young head on an old pair oil
shoulders.
The fate of gambler is sad one
says the St. Peter Journal. In the in
sane asylum there, lies gambler pros.
trated by illness with his brain on fire
In his rawlings his inauguration sees
before him the accursed tables of vice
and his white feverish hands toss the
air as if every moment was his last
He Kisses the gamblers oath as he
curses his luck. It is clearly evident
that he lost his all at the gambling
table.
Sleepy Eye Herald: The Madigan
defense has secured afidavits that
such men as A. L. Pickle of Golden
Gate, and Arnold Hillesheim of Stark
was enormously intoxicated" at times
during the time they sat as jurymen
on the case. When the friends and
acquaintance of these men read this
no doubt it will cause them to smile
as it is too we'll known that these men
do not allow themselves to indulge in
such debauchery. Every one we have
heard speak of it say they do not be-
lieve it. -
W. D. Martin left Monday for Min
neapolis, where he hopes to interest
the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad
and the City Council in the granite
from the Homer quarries. The stone
is especially adapted for paving pur.
poses, the grain being very fine and
very little trouble is experienced in
getting out squares for the crossings
Last year the railroad company pur-
chased six carloads from the Home,
quarries. Mr.. Martin informs us that
there is only one other quarry in the
State where this grade of granite is
found, that at st. Cloud. Specimens
will be prepared and sent to different
cities for inspection.
st. Peter Journal: A very peculiar
subject is just now incarcerated in the
insane asylum here. He was brought
here six weeks ago and has been
asleep ever since, night and:day. He
was asleep when brought here and it
has been impossible to arouse him
from slumber since. He is lying in
the sick room and keeps his bed al
OF the time, notwithstanding the fact
that he is strong and loses no flesh
He is fed with milk and other light
diet with a spoon. This he swallows
when it is put into the mouth, but it
must be some article of food which
requires no chewing. His closed ewes
have a constant culver, but his body
is motionless and his hands lie crossed
upon his breast. The physicians can
ascertain no cause for his peculia,
condition.
