ceeded to remedy the defect, and had the
case again put on the calendar.

made to enlarge the boundaries of the
Second Ward.
That the description of the territory
proposed for annexation was faulty.

was disposed of the City Council had no
jurisdiction to act on later petition.

Senator Nelson recently went to Rip
on, Wis.,, and attended a reunion of
his old regiment, the Fourth Wiscon-
sin. While there he met a little Ger
man, Kuehne, who was his rank mate
during the war. They marched side
by side and had not met since. They
had great reunion and much of the
time these two spent side by side tel
ling of the incidents of camp and field.
Kuehne lives now near Princeton and
has seven children, four of them boys
who, he says, will be ready if there is
another war. Senator Nelson also
met there Mrs. Jenkins who came in
fourteen miles to see him and hear the
particulars of her sons death. Her
boy had been with Mr.. Nelson at the
battle Of Port Huron. Four of them
had in their charge across the open
field fallen within few rods of the
works. One was killed, one crawled
away, Mr.. Nelson had a bullet wound
in the thigh and young Jenkins had
seven bad wounds. After they had
lain there for hours, when night came,
the pickets carried Mr.. Nelson inside
the works where he was cared for, but
young Jenkins was too far gone to
move and probably died within few
minutes after he was left by the pick
cts. The poor mother had never heard
the details of her sons heroism and
death and with the tears streaming
down her face she listened to the story
she had come so far to hear.-Alex-
andria POst-News.

After June l, 1898 several cities and
towns will be united under the name,
Greater New York. Such as Brook
Ign and New York will then be in his
tory only. The United States can
then boast of having the largest city
in the world except one. London,
England, will still be ahead to the num-
Der of nearly 5000, 900 people or nearly
twice the number of Greater New York
which claims only 100000, but while
Greater New York is not much more
than one-half the size ofLondon it is
about 100 times the size of Willmar
when we blow ourselves to the utmost.
The daily increase of the population
of London is 23O and that of Greater
New York 3l5, and at that rate it will
take us only about ninety-three years
to equal London-a short period of
time in the histories of nations. Of
course we shall not shout over that
event and our children will be some
what wrinkled in their faces at that
time, but'our grand children will shout
Justify when London takes second
place. The yearly difference of in
crease may change in our favor, but
we give London the benefit of the
REASONABLE doubt The island on
which the mother city, New York, is
located was purchased for 1924 in 1926,
now the Greater New York can boast
of a municipal debt of $185, 100000 or
nearly $57 per capita. The foreign
born and their children number 2,OOO,-
900, equal to two-thirds the entire pop
ulation. Greater New York has more
than double the number of Irishmen
that Dublin, the largest city of Ire
land, has; Berlin is the only city that
can muster more Germans, and our
metropolis has nearly as many Scandi-
navians as Bergen. In the most
densely inhabited portion of the city
live about one thousand to the acre.
Ninety thousand babies are born every
year and seventy thousand deaths are
recorded each year.
