+" Half span of angry steel" will
produce no more fatal results than a
neglected cold or cough. For all
throat and lung diseases, Ayers Cher
ry Pectoral is the best remedy. It is
invaluable in cases of Group, whoop-
ing cough; bronchitis.
The Renville county grand jury
never peeped into the Otto murder
mystery, despite all the rumors float
ing around that that body would
surely make an investigation. If re-
port is true the matter was not even
brought before that body. This prob
ably sets the case forever at rest and
the mystery as to who killed Emman-
uel Otto will remain hidden forever
unless perchance a deathbed confess
sion reveals the baked truth.
Harry Browne of Mankato was in
the city last Saturday and Sunday.
MIR. Browne is a bright young attorney
of Mankato who is seeking new To-
cation. He visited Morton and con-
cluded that the division town would
be good place for man of his pro-
fession and he will probably locate
there. Mr.. Browne will be remem-
bered by old settlers as the husband
of the late Jessie Bixby Browne, who
spent her childhood days in Redwood
Falls.
The members of the local demi
monde packed their trunks and "tele-
scopes" on Saturday of last week and
took the west bound St. Louis train
for some point in South Dakota. The
cause of the change of location is at
tributed to the fact that the district
court in and for Redwood county con-
venes in May and County Attorney
Clague's notice that there would be
no grand jury at that term failed to.
reach them before they commenced
packing their household goods.
Saturday was one the most dis
agreeable days on record. The morn
ing opened with signs of rain, but the
wind soon drove the clouds beyond the
horizon after which it quoted down
until about six o'clock. 1t then came up
from the west with a fierce gust,
bringing with it a cloud of dust from
the farm lands and completely en-
veloping the city. The wind remained
strong all night and at frequent inter
walls carried large clouds of dust. The
latter found its way into residences,
and business. houses with great deal
of ease.
The bill changing the Bilch Cooley
monument has passed and become a
law. The bill provides that the monu-
ment be moved back to the Corral -
mile or more distant from it's loca-
ton. 1t also provides that the name
Of Capt. Grant as commander be erased
from the shaft and the name of Mai
j. R. Brown be substituted. The bill
carries with it an appropriation of
$l,2OO to carry out its purpose. While
the change may be more accurate
geographically the monument can
never look as pretty as in it's present
commanding position overlooking the
beautiful and entire Minnesota valley
for miles and miles.
! The county commissioners are in
session. Auctioneer's license was fixed
ar $40 each and a license was granted
to VIM. Field of Lamberton. The
Board voted to approve the settlement
of the bastardy case of Minnie vohs
VS.. Fred. H. Blum conditional that
the Vohs girl pays into the county
treasury $1,000 sheriff's fees. 1t also
recommended the rebate of personal
property tax on H. N. Bells hearse, a
tax applied over year ago, and
which created considerable of talk.
Chairman Arnold said that the tax
was manifestly unjust. The recon-
mendation was made to the State
Auditor.
