sweeping the entire row of frame
buildings from Dickinson's bank to
the building now occupied by Ring &
Co.. In 1886, when the era of brick
builc cings. commenced in Redwood
Falls, Mr.. Offerman erected the two
one-story brick buildings now occupied
by D. E. Laird and Ackmann &
Holmes, which he owned at the time of
his death. Mr.. Offerman did not engage
in business after the fire, but spent
few months at intervals away from
this city. He dealt in farm lands to
small extent, and several years ago he
purchased his present magnificent
farm on Ramsey Creek, about two
miles west of Redwood Falls. It was
then uncultivated, but he went to
work with his usual energy, broke the
ground, erected buildings, planted
trees and crops, and has seen every
move that he has made turn with
profit to himself.
In 1868, just before coming to Red
wood Falls, he was married to Miss
Mary K. Stadler of Faribault, and
they have one son, Fred. Offerman,
now in the drug business at New
Whatcom, Washington.

about the effect the arrests were hav-
ing, and was more than sorry that he
was party to the affair. He did not
blame the party to whom he had men
toned the proposed assault and after
wards admitted it to, and who gave
the authorities the first pointer, in the
least. W a
Rollins was then seen on the first
floor of the Jail. He was sleeping
when reporter entered the Jail. He
was asked what he wanted to say, and
replied that he did not want to say
anything; that he did not want any
thing said, and that if anything was
published he would get even with the
writer later. He was bold and defiant
in his statements, and in response to
repeated inquiries, kept saying Don't
say anytn1ng.
County Attorney Clague came over
Monday afternoon, and investigated
the assault all day Tuesday, and as a
result of his investigation, he changed
the charge against the two boys to as
sault in the second degree, an indict-
able offense. The preliminary exam
ination was held at ten o'clock yester-
day morning, Judge Bowers appear
ing for the defendants, and after a
couple of witnesses were examined
Judge Baldwin bound the two boys
over to the grand jury. They will
both probably be released on bail.

And now to-day within our door,
They come with children almost score,
And at our feet their tribute lay,
For blessings received along the way.
Yes, here is Edgar with form so grand,
And Mira e too too with trout troubled led brow brow; ~
With three brave sons to protect her now.
With five young heads to grace the Race,
While here before our Willies feet
Stand Blaine and Leila and Clarice sweet
Then here is Lizzie, our youngest pride
With Give and Edgar on either side,
While Mildred fair is joined in tune
In accents sweet by Mira June.
But what of these who waiting stand
Behind these sons and daughters grand,
Had they not too, part to play
In this our joyous festive day?
Yes. all they too, my dear, shall be
AS sons and daughters to you and me;
And join with them in songs of praise
TO Him who gives us all our days.
And now, as round this board we come,
But spare, we pray, these children dear,
While in lifes path we still appear.
And when we at Thy Judgment stand,
May there we meet, an unbroken band,
That's filled with Joy and endless day.
Congratulatory letters we're read

Kay and from Rev. John Sinclair of

The younger grandsons and grand
daughters surrounded the tables first,
and after their hunger was satisfied,
there was left an abundance for their
seniors. Soon after this part of the
program was disposed of, Father Nc
Kay was invited to take his seat in
big reclining chair, upholstered in
leather, which was presented to him
jointly by his children. G. E. Mckay,
the eldest, making very appropriate
little speech of presentation. Father
Mckay was visibly affected-too much
SO, as he said, to give full voice to his
thanks. This episode was followed by
an informal programme of recitations
and singing by the grandchildren, and
the family separated at late bed
time, with mutual good wishes all
around, and congratulations for Faith
er and Mother Mckay.

Philosophy of this kind is based upon
gross ignorance. The fact is, that there is
no necessity for the severe pangs under

MATT. OFFERMAN DEAD.
Passed Away from Cancer of the
Stomach Sunday Morning.

Matthew Offerman, one of the early
settlers in Redwood county, passed
away at his farm in Delhi township,
two miles west of this city, at about
nine o'clock last Sunday morning. Mr..
Offerman has been troubled with can
Ger of the stomach for a long time,
and about year ago the disease as
sumed an acnte form. Mr.. Offerman
commenced to fail rapidly. He con-
suited with several physicians, among
them specialists, and all seemed to be
of the opinion that his trouble was
cancer of the stomach, and that it had
reached the incurable stage. Several
months ago he was obliged to take to
his bed, and at times he would sink
rapidly; then he would rally, and the
physicians pronounced these stages as
something remarkable. His son, Fred.
Offerman, came from New Whatcom,
Wash, and conducted the farm and
assisted Mrs. Offerman, hoping to re-
main here until the end. But the par
ent's vitality held out, and it was not
until last Saturday, a month after
Fred had returned to New Whatcom,
that the end was certainly near. Mr..
Offerman declined rapidly from Sat-
urday morning, and continued to do
so until up to the time of his death at
nine o'clock Sunday morning.
The funeral occurred from St. Cath
crimes Catholic church in this city
Tuesday morning. The Rev. FIR.
Woods pronounced solemn mass, and
then the remains we're laid to rest in
the local cemetery. A large number
of the early settlers and old friends
and acquaintances of the deceased at
tended the funeral.
Matthew Offerman was a native of
Germany, he having been born in that
country in 1874, and was consequent
ly So years old when he passed away
last Sunday morning. In 1858 he
came to the United States and settled
in Iowa, but two years later he made
trip through the South, absorbing
several years in the southern portion
of the United States. After seeing
the sights of the south, or just before
the outbreak of the civil war, be set-
tied in Chicago, and remained there
until 1867. He then changed his resi-
dence to Faribault, this State, where
he resided for two years, after which
he moved to Redwood Falls, and i'm

HALF A CENTURY.
The Golden Wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilbert Mckay.

Fifty years ago-Feb. 18th, 1848-
in small hamlet of Rock county,
Wisconsin, the marriage of Gilbert
Mckay and Miss Hancy Hudson was
celebrated. Last Saturday being the
anniversary of that marriage, ali the
descendants of Mr.. and Mrs. Mckay
gathered at their home on Minnesota
street to pay their respects to the oc-
casion, and to the worthy pair who
we're the central figures of it. It is
worth mentioning as something out of
the ordinary, that all of the FIVE sons
and daughters who we're born to Mr..
and Mrs. Mckay we're not only pres
ent at this anniversary with every one
of their children-17 in all-but that
they are all residents of the same
town. The following lines, composed
by Mr.. McKay's son-in-law, j. P.
Jones, and read by him just before
the family sat down to the meal pre-
pared by Mrs. Mckay and her daugh-
ters, are supposed to represent the
musings of Father Mckay on the oc-
casion:
FIFTY YEARS?
Yes, fifty years, since you, my wife,
Did pledge me to your earthly life;
Placing your hand in mine did say,
With you I'll walk, yes all the way,
And as We journeyed through the years.
Some filled with Joy, and some with fears,
Can we not say. we both did strive
To love and cherish our children FIVE.

BROUGHT TO TERMS.
A Strike Which Failed at the Very
 Outset.

Hazelton, Pa., Aug .25.-Seven hund- red coal miners and laborers en- ployed in the Aundenreid and Honey brook strippings of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company, who struck yesterday, returned to work this morning. The men struck because of what they claimed to be an unjust dis charge of two Hungarian miners.
 The prompt and decisive action of Superintendent Richards in posting notice that if the men were not at work this morning the mine would be shut down for the remainder of the year, produced wholesome effect on the strikers, although they claim the two discharged men will be reinstated.

HAWAIIAN CONFESSION.
An Outline of the New Government
 of the Islands.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-The steam ship Moanao arrived here today from Australian ports via Honolulu. An Associated Press correspondent writes from Honolulu under the date of Au- gust IS as follows: The congressional members of the commission to report on the form of government for the ter ritory of Hawaii arrived on August F sioners met President Dole and his cabinet at the executive building by appointment. The compliments of the president and his colleagues had been sent to the senators and representatives earlier in the day. Today the com mission met at the home of Justice Frear. there to qualify as members by taking the oath.
 The work of the commission will be of a secret nature. It is felt that the business can be transacted more expe- having closed doors. It is likely, ac- cording to Senator Cullom, that there will be prepared by the commission one organic act corresponding to the constitution of a state, describing the territory. the manner, method and Limitations of legislation. This orga- nizatiOn will be supplemented by many congressional laws bearing upon cus- toms, land, taxation, judiciary. etc It is by no means contemplated that there shall be any radical changes in the sys- tenn here.

the question is further complicated by the fact that the United States has not asserted purpose to acqrire or annex the territory, but merely to free 1t from Spanish domination
 Sagasta's claim that Spain will ex- pect indemnity for all government property, buildings, barracks, fortif- cations, etc., in Cuba. Porto Rico and elsewhere has excited much comment, as indicating the dificult questions to be treated by the military and peace commissions. In official quarters there Is no disposition to make a counter claim to Sagasta's proposition. for this will be done in due time before the commissions, and there is no purpose to outline the governments policy in advance. At the same time leading officials express their individual opin- ion that Premier Sagasta's claim is very far fetched.
 It is pointed out that after the ces- sion of Louisiana to the United States this government succeeded to the sov- ereign interests Of France and Spain in that province, including the public reservations. This appears to be the most direct case In point hero pulp lie property passed with the territory ceded. The rule is equally we'll es- tablished that private property under goes no change. Tho question is somewhat complicated in the present case by the fact that Cuba and Porto Rico are not acquired strictly by con- quest, but rather by mutual agreement. In case of conques. no question could arise as to the passing of all forts, barracks, reservations, etc., along with the conquered territory.
