them. Messrs. Erickson, Ahrens, u.
F. Miller and A. V. Reike all spoke on
the line of tramp history, after which
Editor Ray of the Fairfax Crescent
outlined his scheme, which he had
cooked up during the afternoon.
81 would have the house of each vii
lage supplied with two or three meal
tickets. When tramp called for some
thing to eat 1 would have one OF these
tickets given to him with the name OF
the giver on it. This would have to
be taken to the village marshal who
would give the holder one or two
hours work, after which the marshal
would sign the ticket and direct the
tramp to restaurant where he could
get a meal The restaurant keeper
would present his bill with the ticket
to the council for his pay"
This idea met with universal APPROX
al. Ed. Hendricks, at one time a CT
gar manufacturer of this place, now
of Fairfax, stated that if the boys got
onto a town where such law was IN
force they would steer clear of it. Mr..
Ahrens suggested vigilance commit
tee in the country, after which whole
crowd of newspaper men, composed
of Editors Ray of Fairfax, Chllds OF
Hector, Reid of Renville, Hill of Nor
ton and Stone of Bird Island and
Messrs. Ahrens and Miller we're ap-
pointed committee to draft resolu-
tons, etc. The committee retired and
soon reported resolutions requesting
city councils to pass ordinances in
harmony with the ideas of Editor Ray
above given, and also township offc-
ers to get into line with Mr.. Ahrens'
idea of vigilance committee.
The convention was recalled and af-
ter rafting speech by Attorney p.
E. Harriott, telling the delegates how
to put the ideas into force, the resolu-
tons were adopted. A committee of
two from each town in Renville coun-
ty was appointed to push the matter
of an ordinance before their respective
councils.
The tramp way down in the north
end of town, was occupying the same
stone when the convention adjourned.
The sparrow was near by and the two
were chirping the most plaintive tune
conceivable. 1t was something like
"William Wicked-man, William Wick
ed-man," all evidently directed against
the Renville county sheriff.

REMICK CONTEST.
Facts About the Celebrated 500,
900 Probate Case.

An idea of the vast amount of legal
knowledge that is being wasted, or
given in return for cash, in what pro-
misses to be the most sensational will
contest ever on in this section of the
country, that of Matilda Remick as
petitioner and Lottie Remick Cole as
contestant, can be had from the mere
statement that the dispositions taken
by the lawyers in Illinois alone covers
over 200 pages of type written copy.
This copy is in three sets, and is now
on file in the office of Judge of Pro-
bate Glenn of Renville county, who
has been spending the past two months
going through the whole batch, and
condensing it, whereby he was able to
give the decision announced to a Ga
zErrE reporter last Saturday. This
decision is in favor of the petitioner,
and is based on the fact that Lottie
Remick Cole, to whom Remick was
never married, but with whom he lived
and had children, left him and mar
ried man named Cole, and that Ma
tilda Remick is his legal wife. The
case, of course, will go into the dis
trict and Supreme Courts before it is
settled.
The exact story of the whole affair
according to the narrative Of Judge
Glenn, related to a GAZETTE reporter
is that Chas.:F. Remick was formerly
Chicago attorney. While such he
acquired property in Chicago and in
the coal fields of Illinois, estimated tc
be worth over $4,000 and even nov
bringing in steady revenue. During
his residence there he lived with g
woman whosbecame known as Lottie
Remick, his wife, to whom he was
never legally married. By her he hac
two children-twins. They continued
living together for several years aftel
which they separated, whether by mu
tial consent, or not, is not known
Lottie Remick took the children.
| Remick then drifted west and set
tied on farm in Renville county
With his income he purchased fin,
farm of GAO acres in one of the eastern
townships of that county and also on,
or two other Renville county tracts
These tracts are estimated at $4,000
Here he also met widow, who, abou
two years ago, he married, and sh
became known as Matilda Remick
By her he had one child, boy, Chas
F. Remick, Jr.,now nearly ten month
old. In October last year Remic]
died without leaving will.
In December she petitioned the pre-
bate court of Renville county for lei

STATE MOTTO: PURITY IN THE HOME AN
GOD IN GOVERNMENT.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-11-06

A young unbeneficed clergyman in an
English suburban parish recently received
an unsolicited offer from young lady in
his flock of her "heart, money and hand"
The unsentimental clergyman sent the
frigid reply that the spinster should give
her heart to the Lord, her money to the
poor and her hand to the man who asked
for it.
Even in ancient Rome men sometimes
captured an Office by the strength of their
lungs. Horace tells of one such, Novius
by name, whose admirers said: "Has he
not voice loud enough to drown the noise
of 200 wagons and three funerals when all
meet together in the FORUM It is this
that pleases us, and we have therefore
made him tribune"
German newspaper asserts that about
10000 of the inhabitants of Berlin hear
considerably better with their left ear
than with their right. These people
are frequent users of the telephone. Dur
ing conversation the instrument is almost
invariably held to the left ear. In the
cases observed the subjects heard the
slightest sound through the telephone with
their left ears, but could understand little
or nothing If the instrument were put to
their right ears. 1t is therefore concluded
that the telephone has an appreciably slim
ulating effect on the auditory nerves, and
the recommendation is made that the in
strument be used alternately at the right
and left ear

A Montana Prophet.

Thomas Merrill of Butte, Montana, was
one of the campaign speakers for Bryan
and after he finished this work he "went
through Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota for the sole purpose
of observing the political situation" This
was the prediction which he made:
"Mr. Bryan is going to be elected. You
will see such a landslide as this country
has not witnessed since Horace Greeley ran
for president. Bryan will get every electo-
raj vote west of the Alleghanies and south
of the Potomac, including those of Mary
land, and it would not surprise me if he
carried New York and New Jersey The
waving of the bloody shirt by Secretary of
Agriculture Morton has made Maryland
safe, and removed any doubt that ever ex-
listed in nervous minds concerning Ken
lucky and West Virginia! Michigan is
the safest of the states in the Mississippi
valley, and it will give Bryan two votes for
every vote for Mckinley. Indiana is good
for Democratic majority of 10000 or so,
600. The three days Bryan spent in Min
nesota changed 200,0c0 votes, and made
that state safe for him beyond all doubt.
Illinois is perfectly safe unless they defraud
us at the polls in the city of Chicago"

value of policy on the life of her husband re-
Gently deceased, writes State Agent James T.

husbands policy 4l,00l, and also to take this op-
portunity of expressing to the company my sin.
cere appreciation Of the way In which have been
treated, That any of my friends may understand
diion OF affairs. premium was due on Mr.
Stowells policy April 80, 1896. This was not paid
and since his death we find that the company
sent a second notice on May Z, and third notice
stating that the insurance had lapsed, but would
be reinstated If premium was paid and health
certificate given. Later still a letter conveying
the same information was sent, all these papers
having been in Mr. Stowell's possession. In
pocket OF an office coat we found a check made
Dy MT StoWel Tor this premium and dated May
.. Mr.. Stowelns accident occurred June IS, and
he died June %. By the terms of the policy
should have been entitled to $500, but am CRATE
full that the company, while recognizing that
there is no legal claim for more than this amount
have stu seen fit 70 pay the face of the policy,
S2,OOO The generosity of the National Life in
paying the face-value OF the policy under the
above circumstance, is but in keeping with its
general policy. Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to see that their hus.
bands pay the premiums on their policies when
they fal due, as companies are not obliged to pay
the face value OF policies unless all arrears have
been paid Mrs. Stowells words Of appreciation
are none TOO strong for the kind and generous
treatment accorded her by the National Life.
