A GOOD BOILER.

The Creamery Package Mfg. Co., of
this city secured the contract for fur
nishing the boiler for the new FREE
PRESS building and it will be placed
in the building tomorrow This
boiler is 40 inches in diameter and II
feet long and weighs 1000 pounds.
We desired to have boiler that
was made of the very best material
that could be produced and went
down to the works of the Creamery
Package Mfg. Co. yesterday to wit
ness test of the steel of this boiler.
A circular piece was cut out of the
top of the boiler underneath the
dome, which is always done to allow
the steam to pass from the boiler
proper into the dome. This piece
was cut in two and, one-half ofsit was
bent double with sledge hammer
and hammered down fiat without
showing particle of fracture. This
in itself is very severe test, but the
Creamery Package Mfg. Co. informed
US that they would make still another
and more severe test, they then pro-
ceeded to take the other half of the
piece of 5 teel before mentioned, put
it into forge and heated it red hot,
then Immediately plunged it in cold
water. This process used with any
ordinary iron or steel would crystal
ize it so that it would be brittle and
would break if attempted to be bent.
But they then took this piece of steel
and treated it in the same manner as
they had the other, bent it double and
hammered it down perfectly fiat with
out showing the least sign of any frac-
ture.
We feel therefore that we have a
boiler that is made of material that
could not be excelled. We would not
have believed that steel would stand
such severe test. The Creamery
Package Mfg. Co, inform us that they
are using this steel in all their boilers
being Park Bros. fiange steel of 10000
pounds tensile strength, and that the
name of the manufacturer and quality
of steel is stamped on every plate in
the boilers. The amount of business
the Creamery Package Mfg. Co. are
doing in this line is not generally
known. They inform us that they
are selling about 200 boilers annually,
and probably sell more boilers than
any other institution in the state of
Minnesota, and certainly from the
quantity of work they are turning out
they are deserving of a liberal trade
in that line.

AN AGED MAN.
Joseph Hodgson, Over Ninety-Five
Years Old, Dead

Joseph Hodgson, one of the oldest
men in this part of the state, died
Tuesday at the home of his son.
Joseph, in Belgrade, where he has
made his home for long time. He
had reached the age of ninety-fve
years and four months, and had lived
to witness the passing away Of most
of the friends of his childhood days,
and the coming and going of several
generations.
The deceased was born in 1900 at
Durham, England, and moved to
America in 1918. He located in Bel
grade in 1857, and has lived there on
a farm ever since. Six children sur
vive him: John c., of Houghton,
Mich; Joseph, of Belgrade; Mrs.
Elizabeth Ferris, of New York state
Miss Charlotte, Miss Sarah and Joshua
Hodgson, of Belgrade.
Mr.. Hodgson was taken with the
grip last winter, and since then has
been unwell, and this fastened the
end Death was due to a general
breaking down of the system, due to
old age, and the end came peacefully.
Mr.. Hodgson had the respect and
esteem of all who knew him, and his
death will cause sorrow among all his
acquaintance. He lived a long and
useful life, and will be missed.

1t will be seen by this table that
the total coinage of silver in France
since 1878 has been S5,5OS, 931, against
over s400, 100000 in this country be-
sides over $3.50, 100000 worth of silver
purchased by the government under
the act of 1890, which is represented
in our circulation by treasury notes to
that amount. This showing ought to
put a quietus to all talk about
France being more friendly to silver
than this country has been. The fact
is there is not nation on the globe,
not even one which has drank of the
dregs of silver monometallism, that
has done better by silver than has the
United States.

KILLED BY THE CARS.
A Son of Rev. Bushnell, Formerly of
This City, at La Grange, iii.

From the La Grange OILY Neaps.
May Is, we clip the following account
of an accident which resulted fatal
ly to the little four-year-old son of
Rev. H.. A. Bushnell, who a few
years ago was pastor of the Congre-
gational church in this city, and well
known to all our older residents:
An accident which sent a thrill of
horror through the community hap
pened Wednesday afternoon at the
Ogden avenue crossing of the G. B. &
Q. railroad. and which resulted in the
death of Henry, the little four-year-
old son of Rev. II. A. Bushnell, pastor
of the La Grange Congregational
church.
1t appears that the boy and son of
E. A. Rich, about his own age, were
playing on the tracks at that point.
and that Henry either did not see the
train until it was too late to avoid
being struck or became bewildered.
He was struck terrific blow on the
side OF the head by the pilot beam of
the engine, fracturing his skull. The
Rich boy fortunately escaped. The
unconscious boy was carried to Nc
Crews drug store, where Drs. Det-
weller and Dean dressed the wound,
and he was conveyed to his home on
Seventh avenue, where he died at $50
o'clock Wednesday night.
Henry was an uncOmmonly bright
| boy, beloved by all who knew him,
and his grief-stricken parents have
the sympathy of everyone in their
great affection.
The funeral was held from the par
ents' residence, Seventh avenue, Fri
day at 3 p. M, the burial being at Oak
Hill cemetery.
The Ne,rs also states that the coro-
ner's jury did not hold anyone
censurable for the accident after OBJ
tanning allthe facts in the case.

Contrary to all expectation the
Bishop VS.. Lundland case was not

At 800 O'Clock Judge Severance had
not fully determined whether he
would hold court tomorrow or not.

CLASS DAY.
The Normal Graduating Class Pre-
sents the School With Two
Fine Statuettes.
The Junior Class Gets a Pipe of
Peace, and Accepts twill,
Prophecy, History, Etc.

The annual class day exercises at
the Normal school took place Tues
day afternoon at Normal hall, begin
ming at 2:45 o'clock and lasting an
hour and half The audience SUI
fered somewhat from the heat, but
the exercises were highly interesting.
The large graduating class sat in a
Semi-circle on the stage, which was
handsomely decorated with flowers
and trailing plants. A beautiful can
opy was placed at the rear of the
center of the stage, and under this
the class prophet sat, arrayed' as an
ancient seer.
The exercises opened with an ad-
dress by Martin L. jacobson, the class
president. He commended his class,
thought that none had ever eQualed
it or ever would, and predicted the
rapid decline of the school when the
class left. Then, on behalf of the
class, he presented the school with
beautiful statuettes of Hebe, the
goddess of fruit, and Victory, two
highly appropriate membranes.
One was standing at each end of the
stage, where they attracted the admit
ration Of all.
On behalf of the school, President
Soaring accepted the statuettes as
mementoes of the class, and promised
to place them in conspicuous posi-
tions. He promised to hereafter
make mention in the catalogue of
class gifts. He complimented the
class.
Bert Russell, the class orator, had
for his subject "Our English Herr
tage," and did the subject justice.
He thought that Europe would have
to follow Americas example Of free
dom.
Miss Dorothea Aalund sang a solo
in her very effective manner
The class historian was Mary r.
Johnson, and she recited the trials
and triumphs of the class in an inter-
esting style. She said that the aver
age height of the class is feet s.!
inches. Seven are of Irish descent,
eight German, seven Swedish, six
Norwegian, one each Scotch, Danish,
Swiss and Canadian, and thirty-three
Yankee.
Miss Bertha Bowen gave the class
poem, "The Burning Bush" and it
showed unmistakable poetic ability.
Miss Mamie Campbell gave an adj
dress to the Juniors, composed after
the style of Hiawatha, and concluded
by presenting the Junior class with a
Calumet pipe of peace. Carl Ulrich,
on behalf of the Juniors, accepted
the pipe, in humorous vein, written
in the same style. Both were excel
lent.
A pleasing song was rendered by a
double quartet, composed of Miss
Dorothea >Aalund, Miss Daisy Shee-
han, Miss Bertha Ludcke, Miss Minnie
Johnson, and Messrs. VIM. L. Linds-
ley, J. T. Bieder, Geo. Sanberg and
August Buck.
The class prophecy was read by
, Fred Smith, and he dealt out favors
with liberal hand.
r Geo Sanberg' repeated the class
will, and everybody came in for some
thing, from curling iron to donkey
to climb the heights of fame. 1t
abounded with hits that were appre-
ciated by those who understood the
references.
i The exercises closed by the singing
i'of the class song by the class. This
had been composed by Miss Rosa Cox,
and was very creditable production,
