MEMORIAL DAY ARRANGEMENTS
Wilkin Post Orders New Uniforms
and Badges.

Alexander Wilkin Post, G. A. b.,
held it's monthly meeting last night.
and took in three new members and
received several applications. This
is an indication of the revival in
Grand Army circles which is going
on in this state, owing to The increas-
ed interest produced by the coming
national encampment at St. Paul.
Wilkin post expects to attend that
encampment in a body, and has or
dered new uniforms, to consist of the
regulation blue, with brass buttons.
One hundred and fifty of these will be
ordered for the veterans of this county
who belong to the organization, and
it is hoped that they will arrive in
time for use on Memorial day. New
and pretty badges have also been or
dered. 90
The memorial committee reported
progress. One thousand school chill
dren will join in the procession, with
singing. The address will be given
by Past Department Commander
Wheelock, ofOwatonna. The arrange
ments will probably be more COM
plete and satisfactory than ever be-
fore.

DEATH OF REV. CONRAD.

Rev. Jacob E. Conrad, the pioneer
pastor of Sterling church, died Tues
day night at five o'clock, at the home
of his son, Rev. Ora Conrad, in Blue
Earth City. Death was due to old age
as he was 80 years old. He moved to
Sterling in 1856, and has lived there
most of the time since, until some
three years ago, when he sold his
farm and he has since made his home
with his son. He was instrumental in
building the Sterling church, where
he preached for many years. He has
also preached in Winnebago City,
Wells and Amboy He was highly
esteemed by his neighbors and asso-
ciates, and will be greatly missed.
His body will be taken to Mapleton
for burial from the Sterling church
Friday afternoon, and will be laid
beside the remains of his late wife.

the road through the locality affected.
