Frank Jeros, postmaster at Leaven-
worth finds the duties of office are not
remunerative enough TO make the place
desirable and he has decided to resign.
The salary attached to the Office is about
a dollar month Under free distribu-
ton of mails it would seem that an Of
flee like Leavenworth ought to pay better.
Window Reporter:
The blacksmiths of several counties
met at Heron Lake last Saturday and
formed an association to advance prices
for work and establish schedule of
rates. The work planned was accomp.
lished, and an agreement signed to main
tnin schedule rates, which in effect cuts
eff all competition between blacksmiths.
A peculiar thing happened in this con-
nection. On Monday one Of the officers
was in the city askingfor bids on piece
of printing in the hope of getting print
ers to bidding against each other, in
which he was successful, and the Job
went at a price very much below its act
ual worth. The blacksmiths, while OPP
posing competition among themselves,
want competition between themselves
and other business, but they have the
hard sense to make combination for
their own good, and the printers have
the hard sense to fight each other in a
senseless fashion and to their actual loss.
Morgan Messenger:
The new Atlas elevator Of Redwood
Falls, W. r. Caswell agent, collapsed
last Friday afternoon and about 5000
bushels of wheat was spilled over the
ground and railroad track at the west
end of the elevator There were two
large bins in the west end of the eleva-
tor and these had been filled to their ut
most capacity on account of the inabili-
ty of the agent to secure cars in which
to ship the wheat. The elevator was
built under a contract this fall and was
supposed to be thoroughly safe but on
Friday afternoon as above stated the en-
tire west end burst out splitting the con
tents of the two bins over the ground.
Tracy Trumpet:
A small ripple of excitement was
caused up at Balaton week ago last
Monday over a very bad fifty dollar bill.
Geo. Morgeson, who has recently been
threshing near Russell, came into West
bees store to settle an account, and Of
fered IN payment the aforementioned
bill. Mr.. Westbee took the bill but did
not think it looked just right. He took
it to The bank for examination 1t was
pronounced counterit and the bill was
returned to Mr.. Morgesen, who immedi-
ately left for Russell to return it to the
party who palmed 1t off on him. He To-
Gated his NAH at Russell, and told him
the bill was off color, demanding good
coin of the realm in return for it, which
he got. The Russell party, so we are
told, instead of making any attempt to
trace the source of the bill any further,
deliberately tore it up and threw it in the
stove. We have often heard of people
having money to burn, but this is the
first case to come under our notice where
twas actually cremated, and unless there
is niger in the wood pile somewhere
in that ne1ghborhood he must be handy
fellow to have around in case OF pinch.
Those who consider that Governor Lind
insulted the president when he said in
his presence, "For purposes Of conquest
and subjugation the American volunteer
is unfit, for he carries a conscience as
we'll as a gum" are welcome to SO regard
it, but that sentiment thus beautifully
expressed is classic and will live to do
honor to the brave man who voiced it.
It was noble tribute to the spirit Of
American liberty and to the heart Of the
citizen-soldlers of America, who, from
Lexington to San. Juan have ever kept
faith with their consciences while figh-
ting for liberty and against tyranny It
was sentiment that would have done
honor to Washington, Adams, j jefferson
Lincoln, Grant and others of our noble
presidents and if it was reflection upon
President Mckinley and his policy, then
so much the worse for him and policy
that is thus shown to be American
