Bohmer,s .W,ll.s

A suit has been commenced in the
probate court by Joseph Kraker and
Herman n. Haskamp of Melro-e, ex-
ecutors and trustees OF the estate of
tie late william Bohmer, to have a
judicial determination OF several
points in the will left by deceased.
BONNER died fifteen years ago and left
an estate of perhaps 100000 to his
four sons The will gave each son q
quarter of the estate on attaining his
majority, and the action Is now
brought to determine the status OF the
estate of Boniface Bohmer, who died
a few months ago, when but four
months short of 81 years of age. He
had at least calculation $50, 900 coming
to him. He has two surviving broth
ers, john BONNER, banker of Broo-
ten. this county. and Michael, bust
ness man OF Melrose. But there is a
little uephew.sson Ola deceased broth
err, Joseph. and the court must decide
whether he Isl entitled, under his
grandfather's will, to share in his
uncle's estate, or whether his father
having died before his brother, It
shall all go to the two surviving
brothers.

The price of wheat-70 to u cents
for No. would beavery satisfactory
price, providing the far Lers had it to
sell. But had they it to sell in any
quantity the price would not be 10 to
Y. Hence it is apparent that wheat Is
not profitable crop for the Stearns
county farmer. When the average
dairy cow can be made to pay four
dollars a month, and fat steers sell
for 81 cents, live weight, hogs for At
cents, live weight, and sheep for 81
live weight, and good veal calves from
FIVE to ten dollars head, and mich
COWS at from $50 to $40 per head.
Certainly, there is every inducement
to abandon wheat as the principal
or staple crop.

spending few days in ST. Paul 10 the
interests of the proposed line. He is
somewhat depressed as to the outlook
at present, but hopes for better things
in the near future. The line of survey
from St. CLOUD to Glencoe, he reports
completed, and the contracts for the
construction work will be given out as
soon as the right of way can all be OBJ
tanned. The proposed line from Man
kato to Lyle and from St. Cloud to the

through Albert Lea and will form a

prophecies That Won't Wash.

J.
Mr.. Bryan has dropped prophecy,
Nowadays when he is asked questions
about the future he Invariably replies
~ am making no predictions. Four
years ago Mr.. Bryan was doing a
large business as prophet. His out
put of predictions was large. Here is
sample of his work in this line made
IN 1896: eff Mckinley and the Re-
publican party are successful and put
in power for the next four years,
wages will be deci eased, hard times
will comeuponus and over the land the
price OF wheat will go down and the
price of gold will go up; mortgages
on our homes will be Nforeclosed by
the money lenders, shops and factories
will close We will export no goods,
and we will import from foreign lands
all the goods we use; thus will ruin,
want and misery be with US. The
poor and shoddy quality of this pre-
diction is now apparent. and all Mr..
Bryan's other predictions were just as
bad Mr.. Bryan was wise when he
closed up his prophecy works and
chalked Nothing DOING on the
door. There is no market for predic-
tions that won't wash. Rochester

What appeared to be a gigantic
meteor fell into Mile Laos lake. near
Vineland, Mimi, last week. About
p. m. fiery mass that lighted}up the
country for miles around shot across
the horizon, and as it plunged into the
lake a terrific explosion occurred. The
concusslon shook houses along the
shore so that windows were broken.
Those who witnessed the strange phe.
nomenon say they could hear roaring
noise as the aerolite approached, and
that it's appearance indicated it was q
mass of matter of prodigious size.

A gang of swindlers are travelling
around the country claiming authority
to examine wells. They examine the
water through microscope and find
all kinds of bacteria, cholera and ty-
phoid germs. They permit the farmer
and his wife to look through the mi
csoscope, and o; course they see the
menagerie that will always be seen in
a drop of water. The frightened farm
.er is advised to try certain remedies,
which the fakirs sell at a high price
and which proves to be plain soda. -
