occur to me. 1t only came to me when the

German for Latin. To make a "classi-

botany, physiography, bookkeeping.

KELLY WAS THEIR AGENT.
MOrtgagees Must Collect of Him, the
Court Decides.

In the various litigations now in
court, connected with the assignment
of A. F. and L. E. Kelly, the chief
point at issue, is as to whether or not
the firm had the right individually, to
collect interest or principal on mort
cages belonging to Eastern parties, and
give receipts, and cancel the same.
After the failure, it was discovered
that in many cases the money had not
been turned over to the mortgages,
and they were anxious to come upon
the property, which was so much bet
ter security than an insOlvent estate.
For this reason they have all been in
hopes that they could bring actions,
and recover principal in some cases,
where local mortgag gors had paid up,
and in others, interest where the mort
cages We're still in, force. Judge Elliott
has just filed a decision, however,
which ends their hopes. The case in
question was that of Mueller against
Plummer. where the same quesEon was
involved, and Judge Elliott decides that
the Kellys were fully empowered to
give receipts and make settlements.
This will be good news to many bor-
rowers in cases where the Kellys were
agents.

Water Will Be Shut Off at the Min

This morning the water will be shut
Oft at the new dam across Gray's bay
at Lake MinnetOnka, and no more OF
the precious water will be allowed to

At last after many years, the county
Of Hennepin has succeeded in checking
the water flow from the lake, and there
is little doubt but what from now on,
there Will be plenty of water in Mime
tonka. At the present time the water
is but nine inches below the bench
mark. 1t is expected that the fall rains
Will raise that at least three inches,
which Will only leave six inches to be
filed up by winter SHOWS and spring
rains. There is little doubt but what
this can be accomplished, so that in
the spring Minnetonka will have high
water.
The dam will not be complete, as
there is a large amount of filing yet to
be done, but the work is far enough
advanced so that the dam will bear
small pressure caused by the stoppage
Of the flow of water into Minnehaha

haha Falls, hereafter will have to wait
until the dam overf1ows in spring, for
there will probably be no more laugh
