We believe that the farmers of Penn
bina county have lost enough money by
deterioration of wheat by rain this fall,
which, if saved, would have purchased
stack covers of light canvas to have pre-
served the stacks not only this year, but
with proper care, would last long enough
to protect the stacks for the next ten
years.

While the audience which greeted
Mr.. Bede last Friday evening was not

the opinion that Princeton had never
had a better treat than Mr.. Bede's lee

great prominence by his participation

alone, as was possible in a lecture
touching on passing problems.
Throughout the evening he held his

Two Alarms. One Fire

An alarm of fire was occasioned
Monday morning by. a:small blaze at
Joseph Nokes' residence. The fire
caught between the ceiling and the
roof of the ell, but was promptly ex-
tinguished. Considerable damage was
done the plaster by water, but Joe can
congratulate himself that it was no
worse. . r. .... /,
Tuesday afternoon the department
was again called out for the Nokes res
idence, but this time the FIRE got in it's
work. Considerable furniture was
saved but the second story was a mass
flames before the neighbors arrived
and nothing could be taken from the
chambers. The house has insured
with J. S. Bouck.
The congressional convention for the
Sixth district will be held in Anoka.
The date has not yet been fixed, that
matter having been left with the chair

Morris will undoubtedly be renomin-
ated without opposition.

COURT ENDED.

The April Term Closed Last Thursday At
ternoon With a Jury Disagreement.
The court calendar of the April term
received the close attention of Judge
Searle for four: days last week and
when court closed it had been pretty
we'll cleared, the railroad cases and
two or three others, alone being con-
tinued =,
The case of Moore charged with
larceny of q sample case from the
Milaca depot, which was on trial when
we went to press last week, resulted in
a disagreement of the jury The, bal
lotlstood six to six throughout the de-
liberation and Judge Searle called
them in at 4:15 and discharged them.
Moore was held in $500 bonds and was
ia Tie nsdp St Cloud Jail in the absence
Of sureties. rs..-@z
The appeal from the appropriation
Of the county commissioners for aid in
establishing the constitutionality of
the Anderson railroad land taxation
law was dismissed. the court holding
that the proceedings were improper
and the appeal would not lie The
only result OF this action is the placing
on record of a number Of gentlemen as
opposed to this much desired law.
The petition of c. H. Chute. for the
vacation Of certain alleys and part of
Seventh street on the north side was
heard by the court and the prayer of
the petitioner granted.
John A. Swenson VS.. Henry c..
Ceoney and others, a friendly suit to
quiet a title, was tried and decision
rendered for the plaintiff. Andrew
johnson VS.. E. S. Page and others,
was continued.
Sawyer was taken to St. Cloud last
Friday morning and Banker. to Still
water Saturday, but nothing has yet
been heard from Heidi. His escape
has set people to talking about the ad-
visibility of building a county Jail,
which would be safe to hold prisoners
at least during the session of court.
The State board has adopted plans for
county jails which-it approves as safe
and healthy, which can be constructed
for about $1,000. Mile Laos county
has paid neighboring counties several
times this amount for caring for her
prisoners and it would seem to be a
matter of economy to say nothing of
convenience, to erect a suitable jail at
home. y
Judge Searle kept matters moving
as rapidly as possible during the entire
term and his hustling undoubtedly
saved the county several dollars in the
expenses of the court.

STOLE MONEY AND LEFT.

Emily Shuli, Newport Girl, is Missing.
A little sensation comes from Newport
this time. and Emily Shull, a girl of
twelve summers, is missing. On Mon
day last Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Clay Lore.
living near Newport, left home to spend
the day with friends.
They left Emily Shull, Mrs. Lore's
child by her first husband, and two small
Ter children at home Emily is twelve
years old and she was given charge of the
children.
Some time during the day, before the
parents return, Emily dressed herself in
her best clothes, took $l.5O in money
belonging to her mother, and left for
parts unknown, leaving the two small
children to look out for themselves.
Nothing as yet has been heard from the
girl. Her mother was in town Wednesday
to see if she could learn anything of the
girls whereabouts, but could find no
trace of her. She does not think the girl
is further away from home than this city,
for the Sl.50 is believed to be all the
money she had.
The girl is twelve years old, and good
sized for her age. When she left home
she wore blue dress. Her mother
would like to hear any information O.
her whereabouts.

A Wonderful Feat.

This little cunning story is told in strict
confidence, and it is to be hoped that no.
body will be so unkind as to tell it, for
the delicate feelings of the three hunters
will bs hurt. Lets see here is the tale:
Charley Strang the free silver orator and
crack hunter, took Merritt Sooy and Lon.
Rogers out cunning. They didn't have
great deal of luck, but they had heap
OF ofexperience. Lon. RogersIgot one uail
and was ordered off field; Strang got
two quail, one of them as big as a hen.
Merritt Sooy got one small quail and a
heap of fun made of him.
Merritt claims to be crack shot-when
he is feeling good. Friday his liver
must have been horribly out of shape.
He banged into flock of quail and never
clipped feather. He claimed to have
killed bird later, that Strang had
brought down. And do you know, Sooy
was in earnest. Just as Strang fired
Sooy pulled the trigger of his gun, and he
felt certain that the bird was his. A little
argument ensued, and finally Merritt
was induced to look in his gun, He
broke the weapon, and sure enough he
had forgotten to load her. He gracefully
acknowledged that the bird belonged to
Strang. Ifanybody will drop into Sooy's
and begin to mention the incident, he can
get good cigar as hush offering.

YACHT DESTROYED.
Sheriff Cheesman Loses His Pleasure
Craft.

Sheriff Cheesman Loses His Pleasure
Craft.
For couple of years Sheriff Cheesman
has been maintaining handsome yacht
down at Ocean City, and at the end of the
last season the yacht was slowed away in
a large boat house. This week the boat
house caught fire, and the entire build
ing, with the craft, was completely des-
troyed.
The Sheriff does not know how the
vessel caught fire, and has written the
Ocean City officials for full particulars,
and he is anxiously waiting for them.
The yacht was built about two years
since, and was christened ''Sarah Jane"
1t was remarkably smart vessel, and
has seen much active service. At the be-
ginning of the late war with Spain, the
Sheriff thought of rendering the yacht to
the Government, but it was net needed,
The Sheriff had contemplated cruise
in Cuban waters. after his term of office,
and was to have invited County Clerk
Trenchard to go along with him, much
after the manner of Benedict-C Cleveland
trip, now in progress. The loss to the
Sheriff is considerable.
