was hanged last Thursday morning.
The drop fell at 1:27 o'clock. His
neck was broken and he was pro-
nounced dead by the doctors in eight
minutes.

the steps with firm tread.
He helped put on the black robe when
being dressed for the execution. When
asked if he had anything to say,
he said:
"Dear Friends-I am sorry for what
I did to my wife. If I had known
what l know now I would never have
done such thing. If had read my
Bible and believed in the Lord I never
would have done it. | wish you all
goodnight"
There was not hitch in the proceed
ings, and the execution could not have
been better reformed.
OFT took leave of his children We'd

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-

posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantlv falling to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

this interesting lecture in an interest
ing and popular manner. That peri
cd of the worlds history, commonly

ming of the fifteenth century. Father

tractive and pleasing to all. The Cru
sades, the Magma Charta of human

ing of all the arts, will be set forth ii
delightful and charming picture

ject of interesting and profitable con
sideration. Father Cleary's lectur'

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Bogus Creamery Checks Passed on
Faribault Merchants.

The forged creamery check method
of raising money was worked success
fully on three Faribault firms yester-
day, but in attempting to pass the
fourth one the forger was arrested,
says the Republican of last Wednes-
day. At Karp & Offerman's shoe
store, goods to the amount of dollar
and half we're bought and a Fari-
bault Creamery check for $3.50, with
F. A. Berry's name attached, was pre-
sented in payment, the purchaser get
ting 1920 in change. At Jim and
Joe's, pair of gloves was bought for
Is cents, check for $3.50 given, and
the change was receivedsin cash. At
Degen's shoe store a clerk sold the
same party pair of rubbers for Is
cents, took $40 creamery check
and gave the change. At Ioyhed &
Sons hardware store the operator
asked for a compass saw worth Is
cents and offered check for $l3 20.
Mr.. A. 81. Loyhed noticed that in can
ceiling the revenue stamp F. A. Berry's
name was spelled out in full, instead
of simply the initials as is customary.
Suspicion was thus aroused. On be-
ing questioned the mans answers we're
not altogether satisfactory, 40 Mr.. L.
quietly sent out for an officer, who
soon appeared and put the fellow I'M
der arrest. He has been identified az
the party who has passed the checks
on the first three firms mentioned, al.
so as the same person who passed
forged checks in Owatonna two OF
three weeks ago, and it is presumed is
the same one that operated in Austin
week before last. He has tried to i'm.
plicate another party with him in the
business in the city but the officers
here are of the opinion that it is 6
dodge to tighten his own guilt.
The forger had gone to the Jeffer
sonian Office early in the afternoon
and ordered 1000 checks printed fol-
the Faribault Creamery, stating thai
he would want fifty of them at once
and there would be no hurry about
the balance. About the time the banks
closed he procured the fifty checks
and proceeded to "do" the business
men, as set forth above.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
The Law Under Which the Board
Will Enforce It.


The board of education will take
measures to enforce the compulsory
education law.
A state law in regard to this matter
reads as follows:
Every parent, guardian or other
person in the state of Minnesota hav-
ing control of any child or children
between the ages of eight and sixteen
years shall be required to send such
child or children to public school, or
private school, taught by competent
instructor, for period of twelve weeks
in each year, at least six weeks of such
time shall be consecutive, unless such
child or children are excused from
such attendance by the board of the
school district or the board of educa-
ton of the city or Independent school
district in which such parent, guardian
or person having control resides, upon
its being shown to their satisfaction
that such parent or guardian was not
able, by reason of poverty, to clothe
such child properly or that such child's
bodily or mental condition has been
such as to prevent his attendance at
school or application to study for the
period required, or that such child or
children are taught at home in such
branches of study as are usually taught
in the public schools subject to the
same examination as other pupils of
the district or city in which the child
resides, or that he has already acquired
the ordinary branches required by law,
or that there is no school taught with
in two miles by the nearest travelled
road.
Any parent, guardian or other per-
son failing to comply with the pro-
visions of this act, shall, upon convic-
ton, be deemed guilty of INSIDE
meanor and fined to the sum of not
less than ten nor more than twenty
five dollars for the first offense, not
less than twenty-five or more than
fifty dollars for the second and every
subsequent offense. Said action shall
be prosecuted in the name of the
State of Minnesota, before any court
of competent Jurisdiction, and all fines
so collected shall be paid into the
county treasurer of the proper county,
for the support of common schools.
