Barrett died in this city on Wednes-
day, September 26, 1884, and since that
time he made his home with his
daughter, Mrs. E. F. Swanson. in War
saw, Rice county. Farming had been
his principal occupation, but of late
years, he had surrendered the active
duties of life on account of failing
health. He was taken i'll in the first
part of August with jaundice which
developed into complication of trou-
bles resulting in his death. Mr.. Bar
rett was successful man and an hon
est upright citizen, respected by all
who knew him. He was a kind hus-
band, a loving father and a good neigh
bor. The influence he welded among
his associates was strong and wide. In
his personality, he was attractive,
drawing to himself a host of trends
who will mourn his departure from
their midst The relatives have the
sympathy of this community in their
bereavement. .-O,voto1onn Peoples Press.

The dispatch with which Judge Searle
disposed Of the cases was the cause of
manysfayorable comments, for Thurs.

termsswpuld probably drag over into
the present week. The bottom drop:

OF course this aided greatly in shorten

cutlon and O.. A. Ladeen VS. O'Neal

lage Of Milaca will be heard Octo-
Der l6, either in St. Cloud or Prince
ton as her attorney chooses.
The real estate case of Cosgrove VS..
Norcross was heard and the evidence
showed that the title to the property
belonged to Mrs. Norcross and ver-
dict was found accordingly. A stay OF
40 days was granted the plaintiff, how
ever. Another real estate case, that
OF Aulger Rines vs.. the Mary Fletcher
hospital will be heard by Judge Searle
in chambers at-St. Cloud later.
Annie G. Warren VS.. J. H. Ward,
Erwin Davis and John Goss, jr., though
not on the calendar, was heard and the
ownership of the land in question was
decided to rest in the plaintiff, the
contract introduced as evidence de-
clared void and immediate possession
ordered to be given to her.
One Of the now famous Vein.

Rust against the town of Princeton,
an appeal from the decision of the
supervisors refusing to lay out a road,
was settled without a trial, a stipula-

agreed to lay out the highway as de-

Schenck against the town'o of Prince

verdict was for the appellant Schenck

Rust and Schenck feel very jubilant
over the outcome.
Kuhrke secured a Judgment in his
case against St. Dennis or rather the
judgment he secured in justice court
was affirmed and the dispute is settled.
Freer was arraigned and pleaded
not guilty and the case was continued.

The waterworks and electric light
plant is now rapidly nearing compile
tion and it will probably be running
within few days. The staging which
was first built for the erection of the
water tank was blown off the tower by
the heavy wind Wednesday night and
this part of the work was delayed
couple of days on this account. Tues
day the tank was in place and the
hoops were put on. The engine and
dynamo have been in place for several
days but steam connections have not
yet been made. In lowering the

THE OCTOBER MONEY.

The State Apportionment Will Show a
Large Increase.
There are over $4,000 more to be
divided among the different school dis
tricts this year than last and this will
make each districts receipts consider
able fatter.
The apportionment is made from the
interest on the permanent school funds
invested and both interest and penal
ties arising from sales of school lands.
Collections from these sources have
been very heavy for several months
past. 1t will be remembered that the
last legislature refused to lower the
rate OF interest or extend the time and
the State auditor Immediately an
nounced that he proposed to sell all
delinquent lands. This stirred up the
Delinquent owners and naanNsef them
paid their delinquent installments,
penalties, and interest. Many. tracts
were offered for sale and the lands
were generally bid in at a good sum.
for Minnesota land has steadily in
creased in value and the delinquent
owners we're 10th to relinquish their
claims.
Last year the amount which was dis
tributed was about 100000 but this
years collections have increased this
amount to about $500, ,0oo-an increase
of nearly 80 per cent.

of northern Minnesota that flow into
international waters and are now said
to have some 600,000,0OO feet of pine
there. 1t is under arrangements made
with them that the new road will be
built, though it will be general traf.
fic line of much value. The country
from Hibbing north is magnificent
farming and hardwood land, and can
support line we'll, aside from the tim
Der output at it northern end. The
country between Milaca and Swan
river is largely good agricultural land,
and contains much undeveloped
wealth. The line will cross the N. p.
somewhere near McGregor. The
Weyerhauser interests now have an
option on the property of the Howe
Lumber company of Tower, and will
probably close it this week, in view OF
the expected changes in that region.
The new line will give a railway
connection from the gold and iron
fields of the west Ontario country to
the United States via Duluth and Min
neapolis, and will be of the utmost i'm
portanc to the northern boundary and
all Minnesota. It is generally under
stood that the timber purchases of the
Weyerhausers and their Michigan and
Wisconsin colaborers have been based
on the certainty of this construction.
There are valuable tracts of pulp
wood covering thousands of square
miles tributary to the foot of Rainy
lake, and it is the intention of the own
ers of the power there, who are resi-
dents of Minneapolis, to improve the
power for paper-making. g.-Mi,1neapolis

The Matter Concerning tho Improve
ments Of Thoroughfares = Other


The citizens of Central Benwood
stated yesterday that the opposition
of North Benwood citizens in the mat
ter Of improving the thoroughfares of
Central Benwood, will not interfere in
the least with the work of paving al
leys A and B, which will be carried out
during the spring; and also stated that
Upper Benwood citizens would be
granted the same improvements if they
would agree to stand the expense of
curbing and paving their sidewalks.
A city official stated yesterday that
Upper Benwood citizens presented a
petition to Council last spring asking
that the streets in their part of the
city be paved, and that as soon as they
had learned that Council was willing
to grant the Improvements on the con-
dition that the North Benwood citi-
zens stand the expense of the curbing
and paving of the sidewalks, presented
another petition, which rescinded the
first petition.
