S. L. Pierce Gets Some Good News
of His Son from the War
Department.

Last Saturday evening" after the
first forms of THE GAZETTE for this
week had been printed, Attorney
S. L. Pierce of this city received a
letter from his son-in-law, Asa g..
Briggs, of Briggs & Morrison, ST..
Paul attorneys, stating that be had
just received telegram from the
Adiutant General at Washington,
of which the following is a copy:
"The soldier named Pierce, reported

Pierce, corporal of Company K. 21st

The receipt OF this letter worked
wonderful change in the feelings
of the father. as may readily be be-

smiles, Mr. Pierce hastened home
and reported the good news to his
wife and neighbors.
This is case in which The GA

traction. AS sort of compensation
to Sergeant Pierce, copy Of this
paper will be sent to him, in order
that he may have the uncommon
privilege of reading his own obitu

New Deere Sulky and Gang Riding
Plows. These plows have proved
to be the most successful riding
plows ever brought out. Their
light draft and easy management
have created for them large sale
in this locality. They have made a
remarkable record in this respect,
and have given the most complete
satisfaction. The result Of fifty
years of experience is embodied in
their construction, and the correct
principles of plow making are fully
carried out in their design. The

RECESS AT SUMMER SCHOOL.

On Friday morning at 10 o'clock
the teachers and instructors of the
summer school in session Tin this
city very much enjoyed a special
recess, furnished for them by the
thoughtful management of Supcrin-
tendent Race, who is noted for being
ever on the lookout for the interest
and enjoyment of all interested in
educational matters. The pastors
of the city were present at the school
house by appointment, and with
Judge J. H. Bowers made happy,
appropriate talks to the school as
sembled.
The period was opened by a mus
ical selection by Miss Marie Clip
fell, followed by short, racy talk
by Rev. H. Goodacre on the Black
fellow of Australia and the Maori of
New Zealand, which was highly ap-
preciated by the teachers. Rev. II.
Koch spoke on the relation of the
schools of the Lutheran church to
the public school. Pleading the
need for the special religious in
struction afforded by the parochial
school he ungrudgingly acknowl-
edged the greater efficiency of the
public school.
Rey. Barackman presented in a
happy vein the Importance OF the
teacher being enthusiastic. This
was followed by couple of songs
sweetly sung by the school under
the leadership of Miss Deem.
Rev. Stevenson then pointed the
need OF the teacher being the friend
of the pupil and drew illustration
from his own experience with the
enemy-the teacher. After which
Judge Bowers made a very happy
hit in pleasantly, at the expense of
the preachers, and gave some ear
nest words of commentator to the
teachers. After quartette the
closing words were spoken by Mr..
Overholt appropriate of the kind
ness experienced by the staff of in
structors and the teachers. The
keynote of pleasantly struck by
Supt. Race in the opening was kept
up throughout and a most enjoyable
hour spent by the school and Ia few
friends that gathered.

FISH FOR THE LAKE.

In letter from Hon. J. T. Nc.
Cleary, representative in Congress
from this district, Mr.. McCleary
states that he has forwarded the
application for bass fry for the lake
to be created by the erection of the
Burmeister dam for water power,
to the commissioner of fish and fish
cries at Washington, and has urged
the commissioner to send the larg-
est supply of the bass fry as posi-
BILE.
Mr.. McCleary closes his letter by
congratulating the citizens of Red
wood Falls on their enterprise and
push in going ahead with this great
Improvement, aud considers that
every member of the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge will be
heartily thanked in years to come.
On Saturday the committee re-
ceived blank formal application
from George NJ. Bowers, United
States Fish Commissioner, asking
for information regarding the lake
and character Of the bottom. as well
as the food for fish. As q result oi
the queries the lake will be stocked
with the large mouthed black bass,
which grows to q length Of thirty
inches, and . specimen Of which
weighing twenty-three pounds, is
on record.

AGAINST BIRD /.
Supreme Court Decides that her
Petition Is No Good.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota,
through Chief Justice Start, rem
dered decision last Thursday in
the case of Brown, relator, appel.
liant, VS.. the Board of County Com
missioners of Renville county. This
was an action to compel the county
commissioners to call an election on
the petition of those favorable to
moving the county seat to Bird Is
land.
It will be remembered that the
commissioners backed up by the
attorney general, refused to call the
election on the ground that the no
tice of the special meeting Of the
commissioners to act on the Bird
Island petition had not been prop

lever is sufficient to raise these
plows clear from the ground and
hang them up at a height of six
inches. The Landsideless feature
adds the finishing touch to the near
est perfect pillow ever constructed.
This construction reduces draft to a
minimum, by avoiding all the land
side friction incident to a Landslide
plow, and making short turns in tt g
ground more practicable.
Intending purchasers would do
we'll to consider the New Deere
Gang Riding Plows before buying,
as they are unquestionably the most
desirable all round riding plows in
the market.

JOHN WEELBORG DEAD,
Drowned While Fishing in the Min.
nesota Friday.

John Weelborg, the well-known
Morton tailor, who worked for a
long time with F. Engdale, the tail
or of Redwood Falls, was drowned
in the Minnesota river about one
mile below the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad bridge, at about 7:15
O'Clock last Friday evening.
Mr.. Weelborg, together with an
employee of his shop, went down
the river on a fishing trip shortly
after supper. They both got on d
rock standing we'll out on the shore
line of the river, and John had made
several casts. The last cast was
fatal one Just as he threw out the
line he slipped from the rock and
fell over into the river.
His companion rushed and caught
him, but was obliged to let go or
himself be pulled in the river. The
companion then seized the fish pole,
but before he could get it into the
water Weelborg had gone down
for the last time. The companion
hurried to town and gave the alarm,
and quite number of the Morton
people got down to the river at 7::3O.
Half an hour later the body was
found in very shallow water near
the place where Weelborg was
drowned.
Weelborg's brother, residing on
John S farm near Pipestone, was
notified by wire of the drowning,
and took charge of fhe body. The
deceased was member of the Evan
gelical church. He was about 25
years old. He was peculiar in his
actions and his companions made
some sport of him. He was an ex
cellent tailor and rustler for trade.

erly published in the Renville Coun-
ty Times at Olivia. The Bird Is
land boomers appealed from this
and sought mandamus to compel
the commissioners to act Judges
Powers and Qvale sustained the
commissioners and refused to issue
the mandamus. An appeal to the
Supreme Court was taken and the
lower court is sustained.
The next move in the contest will
be for the commissioners to meet
on the Olivia petition, providing the
legal talent of that town holds that
it will not be necessary to get new
petition. That some of the Olivia
attorneys are of the opinion that
new petition is necessary is evi-
denced by the fact that notice OF
circulating such a petition has al
ready been published.
The syllabus OF the Supreme
Court in the decision against Bird
Island is as follows:
l The publication of the notice of
the meeting Of the county board to act
upon petition for the removal of the
county seat, in all the papers of the
county for two full weeks, as provided
by laws 1889. chapter Ia, section l.,
is condition precedent to the power
of the board to act upon the petition
unless such publication is prevented by
the neglect or wilful refusal of one or
more of the publishers of such papers.
The notice in this case was not
published for two weeks in all of the
newspapers of the county. Nor was it
prevented by the neglect or refusal OF
any publisher. Order affirmed
It will be ten days or two weeks
before further action is taken in
Renville county, for the reason that
the remittory will have to be sent
in from the clerk of the Supreme
court; and the proper judgment en-
tered according to the same.

ing of English life make prominent
mention of this, the smartest driveway
in the world. London society circles
largely about Hyde Park, and naturally
enough tourists regard it as a good
starting place from which to study
British manners and peoples. Imagine,
then, the Indignation and the disgust OF
a pair of pretty girls, accustomed to
traverse home drives in any fashion
they like, to be warned back from Hyde
Park entrance by siX-foot arm of the
law. No tips, no remonstrances, nc

to take part in the Row parade. 1t is
livery or nothing, and if the visitor con-
tiaues to long for glimpse of the Hyde
Park show, she must have boots and
breeches to drive her, thereby having
at least the semblance of private es-
tablishment. No admittance is the
standing exile for the ostensible cab.

WARRING IN THE CHOIR.
Ian Maclarcn Says Chorister~ Quar-
rel Almost as Readily as
Irish Patriots.

Rumors reach ones ears that the
power of quarreling within certain
church choirs can only be exceeded by
the high spirit of body of Irish pa
triots, and that there is almost nothing
so trivial and invisible but that it will
set a choir by the ears, writes Ian
Maclaren, in Ladies' Home journal. II
may be the place in the stall, or the
singing of q particular part, or correc-
tion of THE choirmaster, or word of
approval to another chorister, or re-
mark dropped by one Of the choir-so
tender are the feelings of a chorister-
anything, or for that matter, nothing,
will hurt. He will sulk, or make un-
pleasant remarks, or resign, or drive
some other persons out, and then on
some great occasion all the members of
the choir will resign and take them
selves so seriously that the event will
be considered equal In interest to a
war. Upon the whole, the choir rather
enjoys n crisis of this kind, for it gives
stimulus to the artistic temperament.
But there are some who do not enter
wholly into the enjoyment.

The Army and Navy Obaplains.

Much erroneous information has
been published recently about the
chaplains in the army and navy. There
are thirty-four chaplains in the army,
four of them colored. Their pay is
$1,000 year, with ten per cent
increase for each five years of service.
They are of the following denomina
tlons: Methodist, twelve; Episcopal
ians, nine; Presbyterians, five; Roman
Catholic, four; Baptists, two; Christ
ian, one. There are twenty-four chap
lains in the navy. Their pay for the
first five years service is $a,so a
year, and for the second FIVE years,
$2,8oo when at sea. 1t is $500 a
year less when on shore duty and
5000 year less when on leave or
waiting orders. The naval chaplains
are divided denominationally as
follows: Methodsts, nine; Episcopal
ians, five; Catholics, three; Baptists,
two; Presbyterians, two Disciples of
Christ, one; Unitarian, one; Univer-
salists, one. These figures are from
the official records.

MANY DIFFERENT COCKTAILS
The bartender Says There Is No Linz
II to the Varieties That
Can BE Made.

How many kinds of cocktails are
there, do you suppose?" said the bar
tender. One man said six, another ten,
while an Englishman hazarded thou
sand, but no one paid any attention to
him. Finally they all gave it up, and
the bartender had the chance he had
been waiting for, says the New York
Sun.
How many, then?" they asked.
VI don't know" said the bartender.
II have only been in the business ten
years, but there are very many. Some
years ago when ! was in Frisco, a man
told men l couldn't make one dozen
different cocktails. j told him could
make four times as many. Finally we
made bet. He used to come In every
morning, and 1 guaranteed that l
would make him different cocktail
every morning for 40 days. If failed |
was to foot the bill, otherwise he was TO
pay. l got through all right. For 40
days 1 made a different cocktail for
him every morning, and finally l threw
in eight more just as flourish.
There was not. of course. much diff
ference between them, but quite enough
for an experienced man to be able to
distinguish them, and so I won. The
truth is there is no limit to the varieties
of cocktail, and I should not be sur
prised to see an experienced man reach
the hundred mark"

on the first Monday of March, and
that township auditors shall meet on
the second Monday of March to audit
accounts except school directors and

act was passed relating to borough
officers and auditors. SO the time for
township and borough auditors to
meet to settle these accounts is on the

1t Didn't Offend Anybody.

A reporter dreamed one night that
the editor decided for once in his
career to get out a paper that was
entirely satisfactory. Every item that
was brought in was carried around to
different houses, and, if any objection
was raised, 1t was killed. At four
o'clock the paper went to press as
usual, and when the patrons unfolded
they found it nothing but blank
sheet. The editor slept sweetly that
night realizing that he had printed
nothing to offend ANYBODY.
