A Year in the Post Office.

A few days ago we made request
upon Mr.. Patterson for statement of
the business done at the Cresco Post
Office for the year 1897. An exami-
nation shows 5601 money orders
issued for the aggregate sum $780,
f716.64. The number paid was 1925
calling for $12,789. .16, for domestic
orders and $311.33 on international
orders. The international orders
issued were Al, calling for $5S6.59.
The money deposited with the Post
Master at Dubuque was $13, ,460. De-
posted with assistant Treasurer of
the United States at Chicago, ILL.,, 3d.
376.42. For town of 5000 inhabi-
tants this is remarkably fine show
ing, and we question there being a
town of the same population that can
make better showing.

Reduced Freight Rates for Settlers


In order to encourage the move
ment of settlers and land buyers from
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and the east
ern states to Western Minnesota,
South Dakota and North Dakota, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry-
Co. has very materially reduced it's
carload rates for emigrant movables,
SO that farmers who have purchased
lands in Western Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota can take
all of their belongings with them to
their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part of
the Chicago, Milwaukee. & st. Panl
Ry. will no DOUBT be greatly ap-
preciated by those who are thus
benefited. For further information

Death Of Augustus BeadIe.
(From Howard County Times)

March 1st, 1898, at his home in Cresco
the spirit ofAugustus Beadle passed to the
immortal realms beyond this life. For
five weeks he had been losing appetite
and strength, moving about his. home
more feebly day by day, suffering little
pain but suffering much from lassitude.
The tenderest care and solicitude of his
family and his own brave uncomplaining
spirit could not thwart the deadly malady
and he faded almost imperceptibly until
the pearly gates swung open to rsceive
his angel form. Vivid as the sunlight
his marvellous intellect remained until
the mortal breath ceased, concerned for
all his loved ones after weakness had
stilled his voice.
Mr.. Beadle was born October 20. 1920,
at Poughkepsie, N. Y. June lst, 1s47, he
was married to Miss Eliza Parker, at
Hyde Park, N. Y. In 1855 they removed
to Howard Co., Ia, and have since been
identified with all commendable enter
prises in the county. Six children were
theirs, two dying in early childhood, TWO
in youth. A son, John H., and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Charlotte Blackman, survive
him.
When man lives the life that he has
has lived, death has no terrors for him,
and life, though hecked with many sor-
rows and disappointments, has been bles-
sed; for as he has said, "The happiest
thing that we can do for ourselves IN
| this life, is to iron out the wrinkles in
the lives of Others" and that is what he
has done with the skill and tact that
only refined, cultured soul, filed with
the sweetest, tenderest love and sympa-
thy could dictate. The humblest shared
his solicitude as sincerely as the highest.
For twelve years he held the position
of Post Master in Cresco. He plated
and added to the city much of its finest
territory-he was the father of the town
and gave its significant appellation, 81
grow" He was large land owner, but
he loved money only for the good use
that could be made of it.
No character will ever more indelibly
impress itself upon the people of this To-
cality with fragrant memories of kind,
noble, unselfsh deeds. Every heart
mourns III measure that words can not
express, that his genial presence is forev-
er removed from our midst.
His only daughter, whose heart is dou-
bly, tried, having recently been bereft of
her only child, reached him few hours
before his death.
10 his beloved wife, with whom he had
journeyed almost half century, the sym
pathy of all tenderly turns.
The last rites will be observed at his
home Thursday at O'clock.

Albion Farmers Telephone.

Inc farmers OF Albion will meet in
the near future for the purpose of
forming a company and electing
officers for the purpose of building a
telephone line from Florenceville to
Cresco. There will be SWITCH
board in Florenceville that will
enable all share holders to reach
Preston free of charge over the
farmers lines in Minnesota, thus con-
Meeting any home in Albion that
wishes phone, with two county
seats free of charge. The line will
follow the main highway but will
have branch east at Geo. Michels
that may extend as far as VIM.
i3igalk's another west on Golden
Ridge as far as the patrons wish, then
another east to accommodate the
MCGEE neighborhood, then another
west to reach the Nichols neighbor-
hood, should they desire to take
stock, then again east and the last
branch to extend to the Ashley and
| Wells neighborhood. After leaving
the Vervack corner there will be a
direct line to Cresco.
The entire cost will not exceed 1876
with a right to use the line as much
and whenever member likes, $40 of
this money pays for share that
builds line, and the balance $15
pays for first class instrument. thus
the farmer gets the benefit of every
cent he invests. As there can be but
25 first class instruments attached to
this line and do good work over other
long distance lines, it would be well
for those who would like to take
shares to think this matter over and
decide by the time canvas is made,
as no one would be permitted to join
after line was built. A share holder
who pays $40 into the treasury by the
10Th of April, can purchase and
attach an instrument whenever be
chooses after the line is built.

and west of Granger in Bristol town.
ship would be glad to join or take
shares in this company, as they can't
be permitted to attach instruments
to the line from there to Harmony as
the 25 shares are already taken but
no doubt if they buy shares the
Albion farmers will assist them by
allowing them to connect at the
switch board in Florenceville and
thus form branch of the Albion
company. The officer of the Farmers
lines in Minnesota have telephoned
to Florenceville saying the Alpior
farmers are welcome to the free use
! of their lines if they Will return the
courtesy which is but fair. Parties

with the object of aiding the farmers
as much as possible when they meet
to organize, the date and place ol
which due notice will be given.

ruler of the empire.
The servants steps echoed on the
marble floor and died away into silence
before the Emperor fastened the door
behind him. Then, taking a soft hat
and drawing his cloak about him, he
said:
Il shall be at home at 3-perhaps"
And, placing his finger to his lips,
he disappeared through the secret pan
Ell.
To be an emperor, even for a few
hours, was not such a bad thing,
thought Baret as he looked about him.
The many luxuries-massive hangings.

emblem, the curious tapestries on ev-

nets-all deeply impressed him.

The voice of Laurent was suddenly
heard.

With only a seconds pause, Baret re-
piled slowly, calmly:
Good, Laurent; but it will last yet
awhile, and l shall retire soon.
Again silence, and With a peculiar
sense of still having the eagle eye OF
the emperor upon him, Baret paced the
floor.
Hark Twelve booming strokes
sounded from the cathedral tower. So
loudly they fell on the heavy silence
instant before he realized the nature
of the peculiar grooming whirr preced-
ing the stroke.
There was a noise at the outer door
of the ante-room where Laurent slept.
1t was repeated again and again.
Suppose some one should insist on
admittaAce? Suppose the empress,
whom no one would dare deny, should
demand an audience?
'Baret stood near the door as he
heard Laurent, at last aroused from
sleep, talking to the newcomer.
"A thousand pardOns, my lord To

ordered me to admit no one, you would

this lake Is an ideal summer resort,
and every succeeding year finds its
charms moro widely known and more
warmly praised.
But for land owners upon its shores
there is one black cloud in Sunapee's

Sugar river This stream furnis,hes
water power for several large manu-
factories and the Sunapee Dam Com
pany keeps the water in the lake at a

The result is that the summer residents
whose boat houses, wharves and
grounds line the lake shore, find their
property submerged for a part Of the
time, and again, separated from the
waters edge by a stretch Of unsightly
beach.
In fact, the corporation has caused
so much complaint that the inhabitants
around the lake frequently transpose
the first two words Of the cOmpany's
title in referring to #.
Other means Of addressing their
grievances having been tried and found
wanting, the summer residents decided
to take their case into court It's de-
