resided here for many years. The
writer Of Textbook spent his boyhood
days up to the time he was seven
teen, in this city and then entered
the employ of government Indian
agent, in May, 1862, at the Sioux
agency. During the Indian troubles,
Mr.. Peirce was captured by the In
dians and later rescued by friendly
Indian. The book details his ex-
periences and gives many facts re-
garding the Indian troubles of the
early days not heretofore given to
the public. It is printed under the
title of 1.-THE Adventures of Antelope
Bill" and is sold at Is cents. 1t can

LESS RED TAPE.
Help of Blue Earth County Legislators
Sought.

Geo. Pass has returned from Still
water where he attended the seventh
annual state conference Of charities
and corrections, which has continued
there for three days. As an outcome
of the conference. move is on foot
to have law passed by the next legis-
lature to provide for a change in the
system of treatment of the insane. A
law will be drawn up and presented
to the legislature providing for the
treatment of the insane persons as
sick patients and not as criminals. It
aims to have less red tape and less ex-
pense attached to the counties At
present. the average cost of commit
ing an insane person to an insane asy-
lum is $50, while it is sought to re-
duce this average to SIS or $50. Mr..
Pass was requested to see the Blue
Earth County members Of the legis-
lature and try to have them favor the
bill, and he will do this. The other
$50 delegates are also to use their in.
fluence on members of the legislature
in their respective districts to the
same end.

welcome Mr.. Howe and family among
us.
Blacksmith Englund has purchased
the corner lot west Of his shop and is

his business and will equip it with all
the modern conveniences for black

John Conroy died at his home near
Cable Mill, very suddenly with a
stroke of paralysis last Tuesday.
Although the messenger of death
came suddenly his visit was not un-
expected, as ne had already expert
enced two distinct shocks.
Mr.. Delemartre, one of Vernon's
enterprising farmers, brought to this
office four ears of yellow corn that
weighed three pounds and fourteen
ounces, one ear of which measured
twelve and one-half inches in length
and eight and one-half in circum-
ference, excelling the samples we
brought from the famous Missouri
valley many miles south of this.

Work on the new central fire sta
tion is getting well along, and the
building is fully up to the standard in
appearance with the other fine public
buildings in the city. 1t would be
credit to the taste of any city.

ter of Mrs. Hiram Brown, and Miss
Brown, the young daughter of Mrs.
Chas. Brown. II the four genera

not be so remarkable. But tie three
married ladies each selected Brown

from choice and not from necessity.

Saturday.

Mrs. Frank Crouch has been a
county patient for several years, and
is now at the poor farm in poor
health. Her husband is supposed to
be somewhere in North Dakota. For

The Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran
church has just opened an orphans

parents are obliged to sign contract
to leave their children there for
five years. This has been done, and
the county board and Mr.. Haggerness
have copies of the contract in dupli-
cate. Mr.. Haggerness is deserving of
much credit for his kindness In car

ing them good home.

lums for the chronic or less severe
cases was discussed and arguments
advanced on both sides. Wisconsin
has such system in successful opera
ton. A strong feeling developed in
the conference in favor of the system.
on the ground o: economy and be-
cause the patients would be nearer
their friends. More asylum room will
soon be needed, and it is a question
whether the Wisconsin plan will be
adopted, or another large asylum
built.
The district jail system also came
in for consideration at the hands OF
the conference, and was generally IA.
vored for the sparsely settled countie
as being more economical.

On the Curb.

Talking about good stock, the peo-
pie of this county need not question
but that we have some. I. A. Pelton
today sold to j. M. Karmany three
summer calves of the Polled Angus
breed for $3.50. The largest one
brought S25.51.
Senator elect Benedict's mail is
burdened with letters from people
who are applicants for positions at
the disposal of the senate. He is
making it point to answer all, tell.
ing them that at the proper time he
will give the matter due considera-
tion. Mr.. Benedict's influence is not
sought so much by those who want
offices at the disposal of the governor
as would have been the case had the
result of the election been other
wise.

The duck hunting season is now
practically oyer. It has been un-
usually good this fall, with more than
the usual supply of ducks Of the
larger varieties, especially red heads.
The shallow lakes have now frozen
over and for the first time this season
duck hunting can be called good at
such deep water lakes as Madi-
son and Washington. These latter
lakes were partly frozen over
the other day, but the wind came up
and the ice was broken up and disap-
peared, Quail shooting is now about
the only thing left for the sportsma q,
but this sport is now at it's prime.
The question of whether abuse over
telephone line constitutes an offense
arose in the county attorneys office
today. 1t is fine legal point. The
statute requires that the abusive
language must be used in the pre-
sence of the one abused, in order to
have tendency to provoke an as.
sault. When one man talks with
another across the telephone, are
they in the presence of each other?
If so, then the person abused may
procure warrant for the arrest of
the other.

HERE AND THERE.
"Please cut my hair said Lyndon,
To the man in the BARRIERS shop;
And want it cut just like papa's,
With nice little round hole on topl"
New York Tribune.

The relation of bicycle riding to &C.
cident insurance has been the subject
of recent decision by the Appellate
Division OF the Supreme Court. sitt-
ing at Albany, N. Y, which is of con-
siderable practical interest and i'm
portance to wheelmen.
An accident company issued a
policy to John Keefe. Keefe was a
wheelman, and sustained injuries
while riding in race. He brought
suit to recover damages. The policy
read: "This policy shall not extend
to or cover injury resulting from vol
untary overexertiOn, either voluntary
or unnecessary exposure to danger, or
to obvious risk or injury" The COM
pany contended that this exception
necessarily embraced the act of rid
ing in race, and that Keefe volun-
tarilY over exerted himself or will
fully and without necessity exposed
himself to injury. The Judge decided
that participation in a bicycle race
was not, as a matter of law, viola
tion OF the policy, but he left it to
the jury to say, as matter Of fact and
in view Of the circumstances of tn e
accident, whether the plaintiff was
injured in consequence of voluntar
overexertion or needless exposure,
which was "obvious." The Jury
found in favor of Keefe, and the COM
pany took the case to the Appellate
Division, which upheld the verdict,
Participation in a bicycle race does
not, therefore, operate as legal bar
to the recovery of accident insurance
on account Of injury sustained it the
