A NEW REGULATION,
Copies Of Wills Only to Be Inspected
Hereafter.

The recent theft In California from the
official files Of the will of the late ex-Sen-

ulation respecting wills filed here. Hereto
fore it has been customary to allow the
newspaper reporters and others to inspect
the originals of the wills. Hereafter, ac-
cording to the regulation made by Col.

here will at once be made in his office, and
only these copies will the public be per-
mitted to inspect. The copies made the
originals will be locked up in the Office
safe, and will then be allowed to be in
spected only by the attorneys or those d.
rectly interested.

Representative tracey to rake Ch0rGe

The report that Representative Tracey
will be appointed Postmaster General to
succeed Mr.. Bissell after the adjournment
of Congress is credited here. The changes
in the cabinet before indicated in The Star
are expected to occur in case the retire
ment Of Justice Jackson from the Supreme
bench is authorized. Serious opposition
has developed, however, to the bill for the
retirement of Justice Jackson. and Senator
Harris, who introduced the bill, expresses
fear that it may not be adopted. Justice
jackson is in such bad health, however,
that he may retire from the bench by
resignation, if not permitted to go on to
ours enr Carlisle will probably succeed him,
though Speaker Crisp is also mentioned
for the place. In that event Tracey and
Wilson of West Virginia will probably
have seats at Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet

MASS CONVENTION
Talk of a Meeting of All Parties to
Nominate a City Ticket.
The Idea is to Secure Only First
Class Alderman and City Officials.

The municipal election takes
place four weeks from Tuesday, and it
is time that both parties were picking
out their best men for the various
offices. Several names have been
mentioned for the office of mayor, in
Guiding the present incumbent, DR..
Andrews and eX-Mayor Pau. Mayor
Weaver was asked yesterday whether
he would be a candidate for re-elec-
tion, but said that he had nothing to
offer on the subject as yet. He eX-
poets to have something to say before
long. He declared that he had told
no person what his intentions are.
While many of his friends are
urging him to become candidate for
mayor DR.. Andrews has not yet con-
sented. He would prefer to see some
other good Republican elected, ifsuch
one can be found who will take the
office.
EX-Mayor Pau has been pressed to
accept the Democratic nomination,
and his name has been often mention
ed during the past few days.
A growing sentiment has developed
in favor of the calling of mass
meeting Of all political parties to Sc
lect the best possible ticket and re-
commend it TO the various political
The main attention of
such convention would be directed
to the offices of mayor and aldermen,
as being the most important for the
welfare of the city.

JUDSON NOTES.

Last Tuesday Bunyan Williams and
Miss Jennie Williams were united in
the bonds of matrimony by Judge
Schissler, of Mankato. Wednesday
evening the boys gathered together
and gave them a charivarie, but Cir
cumstancial reports will now be
omitted.
Mrs. Owen Hughes is reported to be
better. We hope she will have speedy
recovery.
There was quite large gathering
at Lake Crystal last Friday st. David's
day.. 1t was held in way called
Eisteddfod or competition in poetry.
Singing, orations, declarations, read
ing and dialogues was the past-time.
School district No. 6 gave an ex-
hibition last Saturday evening at the
termination of their winter term of
school, which was taught by Miss
Mary McGivney, of Mankato. They
report having good time band music,
singing, chorus speaking, etc. The
music was conducted mostly by Mr..
Gus Lidland and family. Those that
attended report having frst-class
time and lots of fun and amusement.
Preparations is being made for town

smooth and quiet.

TWO MORE ARRESTS.
More Blind Piggery Charged at Ann
boy.

VIM. PREM and VIM. Powers, of
Amboy, were arrested yesterday, on
the charge of selling liquor without a
license, the former on Feb. Goth and
the latter on Feb. 9th. They were
brought before Judge Shissler at five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
waived the reading of the warrants.
The examinations were set for
March goth, Priem's at 600 a. m. and
and Powers at 200 p. m. The parties
were released on furnishing 800 bail
each. |.
Amboy voted no license last spring,
and as one result is getting no very
favorable advertising through the ar
rest from time to time of alleged pro-
prietors of "blind pigs" We under
stand that the question will be again
submitted this spring, and there is
likely to be a lively fight over the
the matter.

Taken i'm Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved
great success in warding off sickness
which, if allowed to progress, would
have undermined the whole system
and given disease a strong foothold to
cause much suffering and even
threaten death. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done all this and even more. 1t
has been taken in thousands of cases
which were thought to be incura BILE,
and after fair trial has effected won
derful cures, bringing health, strength
and joy to the afflicted. Another i'm
portant point about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is that it's cures are permanent,
because they start from the solid
foundation of purified, yitalized and
enriched blood. But it is not what
we say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla
does that tells the story.

and completion of the building on or
before June 18th will be required,
which will give the new lessee DOS
session of his building by the 1st of
July.
The Odd Fellows building will be
fitted up for department store,
and $4,000 stock of goods will be
put in. The interior of the building
will be fitted up with special refer
ence to the business for which it is to
be occupied, and it will make model
storeroom. 1t has exceptionally fine
show windows, and with the new gov
eminent building located on the oppo-

prove most desirable location.
A new company will be organized
for the conduct of this business, and
we understand that Mr.. Mcconnell
will continue the business in which
he is now engaged in his present
quarters.
The Odd Fellows are to be con-
graduated on making a lease so desir-
able in every way, and the company
is also to be congratulated upon having
secured location so desirable for the
prosecution of a business venture of
the nature noted.

and doing a skirt dance on one foot.

DEATH OF MISS PERRIN.
The Early Close of a Promising
Life.

Miss Gussie Perrin, the oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. HI, B. Per
rim, died at the home on Byron street
at $40 o'clock last night. She was
taken with severe attack of la
grippe four years ago, and never re.
covered from it entirely. Last
Thanksgiving while visiting friends
at Amboy she was taken sick from
over tension of the nervous system,
and when she took to her bed she
never arose again. Her illness puzzl-
ed her physician, as it was out of the
ordinary, and it was difficult to ex-
actly locate it. He pronounces it SUBJ
acute peritOnitis. Miss Perrin was a
great sufferer, but the physician states
that he never had better patient, or
one more kindly or obedient.
The deceased would have been
twenty-four years of age had she sur
vived until Friday. She was born in
Pleasant Mound, this county, and
lived there, at Amboy, Sioux Falls,
and for year or more in Mankato.
She was an accomplished musician,
and was an active member of the
Methodist church at Amboy. Wher-
ever she resided, she was surrounded
by friends who were attracted to her
by her sweet personality and unvary-
ing excellence of character and kindly
disposition. Goodness beamed from
her eyes, and she was the friend of
all. 1t is sad to contemplate death
in any form, but it is doubly touching
when the inevitable summons comes
to one so young, with life unfolding
itself before her with it's true mean
ing. The kind and beautiful daugh-
ter and loving sister has gone, but
she leaves a fragrant memory,
and her virtues will ever be
fresh in the minds of those
who will watch her vacant chair. The
sympathy of their many friends goes
out to the afflicted family in this hour
of sorrow.
