A sample OF Egyptian porcelain
found at Memphis was recently sub
mitted to M. lie Chatelier for analysis,
and the interesting fact was brought
out that II was entirely different from
the Chinese porcelain. This leads to
the conclusion that the manufacture OF
true porcelain was known to the an
cient Egyptians To duplicate this
particular kind OF porcelain would re-
quire forty parts OF blue glass, fifty
parts OF ine sand and i've parts OF

SOME FINE CORN.

Mapleton Enterprise: On Tuesday
afternoon the Enterprise Office was
the center of attraction for number
of substantial and progressive farmers.
The magnetswhich brought them to
gether was a contest between Blue
Earth county corn shown by Mr.. Elias
Larson, of Beauford, and Faribault
county corn exhibited by Mr.. Chas.
Latourell, of Lura township. The
gentlemen each selected a Judge and
they in turn chose third man.
The three judges after examining
the corn thoroughly reached the con-
clusion that the corn was the finest
they had ever seen and that there was
practically no choice between the two
bushels exhibited. They were proud
that Minnesota could make SO COM
mendable showing. In order to reach
some conclusion as to the corn the re-
naming farmers present took vote
when the Blue Earth county corn
won by one vote. At the conclusion
of the contest the prize corn was
auctioned off and sold for ST. 10 which
is remarkably cheap considering the
unusual fine specimens shown.

WORDS OF RESPECT.
Trustees Of Glenwood Cemetary Speak
Kindly of Their Late Associate.

We, the board of trustees of the
Mankato Cemetery association, desire
to place on record our appreciation of
the merits of our departed friend and
associate, John G. Wise, who or SO
many years has been connected with
us in directing the affairs of Glenwood
cemetery. He was one of the original
incorporators of the association In
1869, member of the first board of
trustees, and with the exception OF an
interim of seven years between 1873
and 1881 he remained a member of the
board until the present time. In 1881
he was elected treasurer, which office
he held to the day of his death.
His interest in the welfare of the
cemetery was well known to all. For
his liberality and kindness of heart,
his justice and good sense in business
affairs. he was held in high esteem by
us, his associates We hereby ten
der to his bereaved family our heart
felt sympathy, assuring them that his
many virtues shall always be treas
ured in our memory.
Adopted Nov %, 1900.

resolutions, which were adopted by a
rising vote:
Whereas, An all wise Providence
has removed from our midst the Hon.
John G. Wise ST., a man who came. to
this city in its infancy and has been
ever instrumental and active in build
ing up the moral and material wei
fare of the city to its present high
position And
Whereas, We desire to give public
expression to the worth and nobleness
of such grand character as Mr.. Wises
whose honesty and truthfulness was
ever unquestioned and whose private
life was above reproach. Therefore,
be it
Resolved by the common council of
the city of Mankato that while we bow
in submission to Him who does all
things well, we deplore the great loss
of Mr.. Wise to the city of Mankato,
because he gave his best efforts to the
building up of the city and his loss
cannot be supplied.
Resolved, That we tender to his
afflicted family our sincere coincidence
and our earnest sympathy in their
affection at the loss of noble citizen
and father.
Resolved, That copy of these re-
solutions be sent to the family of the
deceased.
The council adjourned and then, at
the request of City Attorney Daley,

KICKED IN THE MOUTH.

John Williams, the faithful hostler
of the Minneopa House barn, met with
an unfortunate accident at about 8 80
O'Clock Friday. He was in the
basement, and was kicked in the mouth
by one of the horses, being knocked
down and rendered unconscious. When
he had recovered he went to the Office
of Drs Andrews and Zimmerman
where it was found that two of the
bones were broken. Sixteen stitches
were needed to close the cuts in the
mans lips. After his injury had been
attended to, he was taken to St.
Joseph's hospital, where he will have
to remain for three or four weeks,
possibly.

CALLS UP OLD TIMES.

''The Listener in Window Reporter
prints some "reminiscences of Judge
Severance when he first appeared be-
fore the court there and also when
he was upon the bench and Cotton
wood county was part of his district
In part "Listner" says:
It seems odd to see Judge Severance
in town practicing before Judge
Brown, of whom Judge Severance is
old enough to be father. When
Judge Severance was first holding
court in the old sixth district Judge
Brown was a boy, hardly admitted
to practice, if indeed he had more
than begun the study of law Brown
u sed to practice before Severance. 1t
is getting we'll along toward twenty
years since Judge Severance quit hold.

was ppointed-another almost student
under Judge Severance.
Judge Severance sent the first pris-
oner to states prison from this
county, and probably this term of
court Judge Brown viii send more
men to penal Institutions than Judge
Severance did in the several years OF
his occupancy of the bench in this
corner of the state This shows the
growth the county has made. 1t used
to be our pride that nobody had ever
been sent to prison from the county.
Now it is getting to be necessary to
send all we can to keep peace with the
world and with ourselves. Judge
Severance was an independent Judge.
a fearless one, and if he had failing
it was in tenderness of heart.
Judge Severance's first visit tc
Window was twenty eight years age

tener was a witness 1t was a hot
term. Perkins was county attorne,
and Waite was judge. Then for few
years Severance was yearly visito
to Window, always on one side o
several cases, and then Judge Dickin

ATTEMPT AT DELAY.
New Attorneys May Have to Prosecute
the Salfer Case.

An effort is being made to secure
the adjournment of the Salfer cased at
LIE Sueur Center until next February,
as the Mankato attorneys are all busy
in the district court. The decision
on the motion for a new trial in the
Murray case may also 80 over.
County Attorney 41erwin, OF lie
Sueur county, who has been acting in
the prosecution of these cases. was de-
feated in the recent election by Thos
Hessian, who will take Office Jan. LIST.
The prosecution of the cases cut some
figure in the campaign, but Mr..
Kerwin lost by only few votes. The
change of county attorneys in the two
counties may cause some delay in the
proceedings, as neither of the new Off,
Gals were associated with the cases.

COMEDIES HIS STRENGTH.

Window Reporter: There never
was time when McCleary could have
been so easily retired from congress as
this fall, but there was not Repub-
lican of strength outside of Blue Earth
county with the spunk to give him
a chase, and he was not only nomi-
mated by reclamation but was practic-
ally so elected The econd district
has always been known for its Repub
lican loyalty, and even the congress
mans best friends had no hope of such
victory as he won. just think of
nearly a dozen Thousand majority,
when the district has been known to
run the Republican majority down to
two or three thousand. The magnif-
cent majority practically ensures Nc
Cleary's retention in congress as long
as he wants to stay, unless by redis-
tricting he may be placed at such
disadvantage as to make has candidacy
weak, thing not likly to occur. The
ambitious Barkises may as well lay up
their aspirations McCleary will now
stay in congress as long as he wishes,
and that will be good while unless
he gets something better. In case
Senator Davis dies and an election is
held this winter, in which McCleary
. is as liable to be candidate as any
body and at this time stands much
of show of succeeding Davis as any
body, the people of this district may
felicitate themselves on having con-
gresham with a substantial life ten
ure of the Office.
