Jay Henry Long reports streak of
bad luck. He was employed ten days
ago by w. Fl, Reagan, village marshal
of Slayton, to bring an action for di-
yorce against his wife, who skipped to
Sioux City month ago with a man
named Moses, of GAINESVILLE, Wis. The
action was to be based on the charge of
adultery. Two or three days ago, Mrs.
Reagan was shot and killed by her
paramour after she had slashed him
with razor in fit of jealousy.
Bede's Budget: A man came from
Mankato to Pine county three months
ago weighing 112 pounds and too weak
to keep anything on his stomach or
even make remark. Now he weighs
157 pounds, can walk ten miles on an
empty stomach, chew the cuds for a
whole dairy, and talks back to Blue
Earth on the long distance Telegraph.
When you don't feel well, you should
go to grass, hear it root and root with
it. Also tip your nose to the daisies
and be glad.

southeastern part of this county, She

thought that her cousin would keep
her until she obtained place to work.

Faribault, but fails to properly support
his family. He had a room upstairs
where the children would not bother
him and where he lived well. She got
tired of this and concluded to strike out
for herself. She had no fear that her
husband would try to get her to return,
but was afraid that he might attempt
to take two of the children from her
She did not want to part with any of
her children, but was willing to work
hard to support them.
OChief Bruels got liveryman to take
the family out to Cream.

RECRUITING.
Captain Montfort Arrives in the
City.
Men Who Enlist ia His Regiment Will
See Service ia the Philip.
pines.

Capt. E. c.. Montfort, of the Forty
fifth regiment, U. S. v, arrived in the
city last night to remain three days and
get recruits for his regiment, which is in
process of formation at Fort Smelling.
Today he secured the room on the Sec
ond floor of the city hall, formerly used
as the Office of the board of public
works, and will be found there
from 900 a m. until 500 pm, with an
intermission for dinner, and if laboring
men want to see him at other hou-s he
will arrange to be there in the eve
ming.
Capt. Montfort has seen twelve years
service in the Minnesota national
guard, his home beingsin st. Paul. He
served as captain in the Fourteenth
Minnesota under Col. G. E. Johnson.
He has not yet been assigned to any
particular company lin his regiment,
but is detached on recruiting duty, and
will visit number of places in the
state. He has been at Dodge Center,
but secured no recruits there, At
Owatonna he obtained three and at
Waseca six, and he hopes to secure a
good bunch in Mankato
Only able bodied men between the
ages of Is and 30 years are wanted, and
they must comply with certain rules as
to height, weight and chest measure
ment. They will be examined by a
local surgeon and if passed by him will
be sent to Fort Smelling, where they
must run the gauntlet of the army sur.
geon. AS rule, two men out of every
three are rejected.
The men who enlist in the forty-fifth
regiment will see service in the Philip
pines, and will probably get all the fight
ing they want, as a short, sharp and eff
fective campaign against the Filipino
insurgents has been ordered by Secre
tary of War Root. The government
furnishes good food and accommoda-
tions, liberal pay besides, and takes
care of the sick and wounded under a
liberal pension system.
Capt Montfort anticipates no trouble
in filling his regiment by Oct. 1st The
first ten regiments were recruited in a
short time, and he thinks now that har-
vest is over there will be plenty of men
who will desire to volunteer for the
army service.
The first recruit to be obtained by
Capt Montfort today was Billy"
Pfeffer, who was member of the
Twelfth Minnesota. The recruiting
officer is always glad to have veterans
enlist, as they fall right into camp
routine and aid in bringing the regi.
ment into shape quickly.

A SPOTTED ADDER.
One Found in the City Park Few
Evenings Ago.

A few evenings ago young man
found curious little snake on the
north roadway up the mound in the
city park. He had much difficulty in
capturing it, as it would coil itself and
spring up. When caught it was placed in
several receptacles, and smothered. 1t
was shown to Prof W.Bryant Wilcox. of
the high school, and he pronounced it a
spotted adder. How a snake of such a
variety got there is a mystery, as it is
an uncommon species in this section.
The captor feared it was young rattle
snake.

A Pulpit Revival.

The South Carolina Baptist has the
following editorial, which speaks for
itself:
"We are the friend of preachers and
we love them, but they are like other
men-human and liable to fall short
of duty. In thinking of our need, of
(WHICH we wrote some weeks ago, we
have come to the conclusion that we
need great and mighty awakening
among the preachers. They are good
men-most of them. OF course they
are, but many of them have grown
cold and Indifferent. They preach Of
the people and not to them nor to
themselves. They are doing their
work in perfunctory way. No doubt
there are men in the ministry who
have entered it as profession. We
have nothing to say to them. They
can only be reached by higher power.
But if the good and true servants of
God, who minister to the people in
holy things, could be quickencd, how
the contagion would spread. If there
should be revival among the preach
ers of South Carolina we should have
o modern Penticost. There would be
be no trouble in reaching the people.
Blessings would be poured out so that
there would not be room enough to
contain them
