Veteran Potter of Br1dgman, Robbed of
1886 at Wadena.
An old veteran named Potter, and
who lives alone on a farm a short dis
lance from Bridgman, had an unfortu-
nate experience or rather series of
them. He had been up in the woods
north of Wadena and w ednesday started
for home. He received his pension
money-some $36-and had it on his
person when at Wadenh. There two
or three young men paid him some at
tention and helped him on the train.
He came to St. Cloud via the Great
Northern and on his arrival here he
discovered that the pocketbook con
tanning the money had disappeared.
Tt was serious loss to the old soldier,
contri buting to a heart affection from
which he suffers and when on st.
German street he was overcome and
fell on the sidewalk. COmrade Per
kins and other mem bers of the Grand
Army were notified and had Potter
taken to hotel where they paid for
his lodging and breakfast, and they
later purchased him ticket for home
and he went out Thursday morning

If international bimetallism is not
attained through the efforts of Presi-
dent McKinley's newly appointed COM
mission or if its cause is not wonder
fully advanced, it is time to drop the
international fight. The single gold
standard party is not represented on
the commission and if the other shades
Of belief cannot bring about change
there is no need for further attempts.
Mckinley has shown his sentiments
and fulfilled his platform pledges. The
failure OF the commission to report
favorable progress, if such report is
made, will create fresh demand for
independent action on the part Of this

have been secured, money subscribed
and arrangements made for the decor

Last Tuesday was the seventy
eighth anniversary Of the founding OF

in an appropriate manner. About It's
people were present at the hall and
were entertained by an excellent pro-
gram. Addresses were delivered by
Us. Bouck and G.. A. Eaton, touching
on the history and growth of the
order and explaining its object. Mrs.
Eaton, DR.. Cooney, and d. W. Spauld-.
ing entertained the company with
some excellent recitations which were
supplemented by solos by DR.. Tarbox
and Hugo Rohrbach and duet by the
Byers children. Refreshments were
served by the Daughters of Rebekah
and general good time ensued. The

their hall was too small to allow the
invitation of friends of the members
outside the order, but with only the
families of members the hall was filled

confident that the conference will come

of dividing on both sides of the ques-
