Death Of Uncle John Fortner.
Bakersville Mirror, April 9th.
The Free Will Baptists closed
a successful meeting at Mag
netic City last week. There
we're about thirty conversions.
Uncle John Former died at
his home near Ledger on the
first day of April, 1900. He
was about 20 years of age. His
death was peaceful and tri-
umphant.
Last Thursday evening while
on his way from Little Rock
Creek to Bakersvelle, j. II.
Gouge lost $500 in cash. The
money was in a large bill book,
and Mr.. Gouge did not miss it
until after his arrival here.
There were FIVE 500 bills, ten
$40 bills and twenty SIS bills.
Mr.. Gauge offers $50 reward
for the recovery of the money.
Rev. S. A. McCailess and
wife Of Tennessee are holding
services in the Southern Meth
odis church, with the hope of
getting up a revival, which is
so greatly needed at this place
Mr.. and Mrs. McCanless are
both preachers, and it has been
a long time since the people
here have heard the word of
God preached with more force
and power than they preached
it. Although young in years,
two more cOnsecrated chris
tians we have never seen.

To the Editor of The News:
Our farmers are now blowing in
earnest. Wheat is improving rapidly.
The committee of Missionary School
District have erected a very good
school house. It is a 2Ox3O frame build
ing, finished nicely inside and out, and
furnished with school desks.
The congregation of Missionary
Church greatly enjoyed a sermon on
Sunday, the LIST inst, by our presiding
elder, Rev. MI. Little. At the close of
the sern on over 500 was subscribed
towards building a new Methodist
church on the public road near the
Smile post.
The outlook in this neighberhood is
very promising. The farming inrer-
est of this section has improved at least
so per cent. in the last five years.
Evidences are visible to prove this as
sertion.
MI. Mike Crawley has lately COM
pleted a very nice cottage of four rooms.
Mr.. William Crawley also has built
an addition of two rooms to his house.
Mr.. Buff also has a new residence
complete and painted. The young,
enterprising merchant at Tennessee
also has a new building, and although
not a member of the church, subscribed
literally to the building fund. The
last, but not the least, is our friend
MI. Landrean, who has spent a good
deal of money improving his farm and
residence on the land recently pur'
chased from Manuel Tennessee.

THEY ARE RECEIVING ATTENTION
OF FOOD COMMISSION.

Maj j. M. Bowler, state dairy and food

with the result that considerable aGulter-
alton has been discoN cred INSPECTOR
w. w. Mcconnell is at present in South
ern Minnesota taking samples and send
ing them to the state chemist for anal
ysis. Six other inspectors representing
the state department in other localities
are locking UP the linseed oil product and
several dozen samples of oil not regard
eel as up to the legal requirements await
legal analysis. SO far several cases Of
adulterated oil have been attested and
will be prosecuted. The law prohibits the
sale of an adulterated product and re-
qu1res that the package he marked Pure
linseed oil raw" or Pure llnseed oil
Boiled" Several large lnseed ell factor
les are located in Minnesota, but large
part Of the manufactured article comes
from Chicago and in such cases the state
finds it somewhat difficult to successfully
prosecute the manufacturers, but the re-
taiiers are warned. and If they persist in
selling the spurious product, they are
arrested.
Maj Bowler stated yesterday that re-
ports received from the inspectors having
to do with creameres were of a most en-

UPSET BY A WOMANpS TALE
PLOT OF CHECAGOANs TO SEND
PACKER TO PRISON.

Al 4AELf ~ HAtlSON.
Gov Lind yesterday finally decided that
he would not grant the requisition of Gov.
Tanner, of Illinois, for the return Of
Charles P. Packer, charged with embez-
zling $4,000 worth of stock Of the American
Iron and Nickel company. The unusual
appearance of a woman at the hearing
and her testimony brought the Packer
case TO a close.
Miss Mabel Streker, a woman detective
unfolded the plan of Packers prosecutors
to have him returned to Chicago. Mr.
Packers attorney, E. A Irwin. employed
Miss Streker in Chicago to collect evil
dence against George W. jerks, general
manager Of the American Iron and Nick
ell company.
Miss Streker testified that she visited
the company's offices in Chicago a short
time ago, and pretended to be a stock
holder. She asked Mr.. Thompson why
Packer had not turned over large
amount Of stock that was due her
Thompson she said, Immediately bit. He
said that Packer had gone to Minnesota
and then made arrangements with Miss
Streker to come to Minnesota and testify
against Packer before Gov. Lind He
promised her, she stated, / 900 shares In
the company as a reward. Furthermore
he told her that if he could get Packer
back in Illinois he would put him over
the road, as he had three members of the
grand jury and the states attorney
fixed
Miss Streker agreed to the proposed
plan and appeared per schedule before
GOV. Lind yesterday morning.
Attorney Nye did not appear for tho
prosecution, and Mr.. Thompson took the
case III hand. He int; oduced M So Streker
and, much to his surprise, she testified
to the whole plan eencocted by him.
Gov. Lind interrupted the proceedings
at this point and said: ''I will not grant
the extradition in this case" and declined
to hear any more testimony.
