and Prosperous Future
During the past year Prowers coun-
tY made more valuable and perma-
nent improvements than in any pre-
rious year since its settlement. While
the fnilnre of the alfalfa seed crop,
owing to the heavy rainfall, has tenn
porsrily embarrassed some Of our cit
izcns the prospects FOR the year 1896
are very bright
The two steel bridges, one being
built across the Arkansas at Lamar
by the county aud the other soon to
be built at Carlton by the state, will
greatly facilitate travel from all por-
tons of the county.
The adjudication of water priorities
by the courts during the past year
has placed the Amity and La Jnnta
q Lamar canals at the head of the
list, thus insuring the large farming
population north Of the river more
abundant supply of water in the fu-
ture.
The enlargement and extension of
the Amity canal, as well as the other
extensive improvements OF that com
pany, have constituted the most i'm
portant development work of the sea
son. Nearly quarter of million
dollars have been expended by this
company during the year, and they
expect to continue the work until they
have the finest irrigation system in
the west The company own many
thousand acres of land under the ca
nal, which are being sold in small
tracts TO eastern farmers. Over 10000
acres have been sold this year, large
portion OF which viii be occupied and
farmed this spring. Several families
have already arrived and more are
on the way.
ork has been commenced on an
outlet to the great King reservoir
which will take ten feet of water out
of that big lake, which covers about
5000 acres. The supply of water
in the canal will be increased by this
means and it viii be great help to
entire line of the canal by relieving
the pressure during dry season.
Almost all the smaller bitches in
the county have made moro or less
improvements which will increase
their usefulness by giving more re-
liable supply of water. One special
improvement added by several of the
larger canals which viii be of great
benefit to our farmers, is the tele'

the year 1895 was about SlS,000,000
which places her in the lead as gold
producer, and she always has been
the leading silver producer. The

probabilities are it viii be greatly in

Not only has the output of precious
metals been largely increased in Col
orado but the production of copper,
coal, iron, steel, coke, lead and Pc
troleum have taken a big jump. Sew

100000 additional werkmen viii be
needed in the mountains of Colorado
this year, and this will double the

on the eve of an era of great pros

WINONA, Minn., April s.-A day or so ago
a man named George Brown went to the
residence of the Adventist minister and, it is
claimed, administered some pretty severe
punishment by use of his fists. The story of
the affair has leaked out as follows, and is
well vouched for: George Brown is a men,
Der of the Adventists' church, and butcher
by trade. When interviewed on the matter,
he said ''This minister stood in his pulpit
and preached that Coffee tea, meat and
tobacco are wrong to use, and l would not
agree with him. God says that everything he
made is good and clean. Jesus said that
everything that goes into the body does not
make 1t unclean. The minister worked
against God and his diciples, and that is why
I licked him, because he cannot find these
things in the new testiment." He further
stated that he thought, as the minister had
injured him, it was his privilege to chastise
him. When asked If he used whip, he
replied, "No; just my plain fists.''
The congregation were afraid that Brown
would do some serious harm to their pastor,
so requested protection from the police. An
officer went to the home Of the pastor and
told him he had been requested to give him
protection. The minister reverently replied
would be with him and protect him. He was
no doubt much shocked when the practical
man-of- brass buttons replied, "Well, I'll just
see that You are protected until the Lord
comes''

HE IS WANTED FOR MURDER.
Police Made an Important Capture
in Frank Perry.

When Inspector Stavalo and Hankinson ar
rested Boots German ct al, in house on
Twenty Seventh avenue south, Sunday, they
made far more important captue than they
at that time imagined. If indications are cor
rect the man known Frank Perry, arrested
at that time is wanted in Chicago for muir
der.
Perrys history was not entirely unknown
to the local police, and they knew that he had
operated in Chicago He came to Minneapolis
three weeks ago accompanied by Thomas
Williams, who halls from Cleveland, and who
was fined SIS or fifteen days in the munich
pal court yesterday. Perry is said to have
tipped it off to his pals that he had muir
dered a woman in Chicago. The Minneapolis
police was notified some time ago to be on the
lookout for a man answering to Perrys de-
scription
Acting on this information Inspector STAY
allow wrote to the Chicago police authorities,
Monday informing them that Perry was un-
der Arrest in this city and giving his descrip-
ton. He received a message by wire asking
him to send on a photograph of Perry.
He did so and in response received the fol-
lowing telegram from Chicago yesterday al
ternoon:
Hold Perry, alis Joe Mcmahon; think we
want him here for murder.
~. E. Fitzpatrick,
Inspector First Division"
Perry is thought to be the man wanted for
the murder of an old woman who operated
small laundry in Chicago. An account OF her
murder appeared in the papers at the time.
The murderer was thought to have had an ac-
complice at the time and the murderers made
off with small sum Of money as reward
for their bloody work. Perry has probably
spent most of his time since leaving Chicago,
in Minneapolis, and he must have laid low as
Sc r.
til the mans arrest with the remnant of the
Johnny WISE gang in the Twenty-Seventh
avenue house. For his alleged completely in
the burglary at Lyons saloon, Perry is now
confined in the county Jail under $500 bonds,
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
Perry will be held for the Chicago authori-
ties.

employed in looking up pension frauds. The
other officers of the league are: First vice
president W. ]. Dean, the well-known pro-
hibtionist second vice president, D. G. Bell;
third vice president, George w. Myer, presi-
dent of the Stonecutters International union !;
fourth vice president, Carey Emerson: fifth
vice president, Edward Savage; secretary, G.
w. Ackard; treasurer, c. B. Cotton.
The constitution was changed several times
during the evening; first to provide for five
instead of one vice president, and subseq-
uently, at the instance of Mr.. Waite, to pro-
vide that the executive committee shall be
nominated by the officers and elected by the
league.

league regarding non-partisan city ticket
was taken up, and the president was author
lied to appoint a committee of five to confer

Lake Minnetonka the coming season. 1t is
to be run by one of the best known steam
boat men on the lake. and it is given out that
one of the lake railroads is interested in the
scheme in a substantial way. Circumstances
point to the conclusion that the railroad will
be no other than the Minneapolis G. st. Louis.
officials of the passenger department of that
line were reticent on the subject when seen
this morning, and expressed surprise that
anything was known about it. They admitted
that there had been some talk of sub
marine lake boat feature for their sum-
mer business, and while refusing to go into
details would not deny that submarine pas
senger boat was to be run, and the plan was
to take tourists of an inquiring turn Of mind
around underneath the waters of beautiful
Minnetonka for 81 per trip. The railroad peo-
pie seemed rather vexed that the story had
become public property, as they wished to
wait until the boat had arrived here before
they sprang the sensation.
