Honest Folk in Brasil.

Letters recently written from the
Blumenau district in southern Brazil,
where there are about $4,000 German
settlers, describe life there as abso.
lutely %patriarchal. There is practical.
ly no crime in the community. Every.
body is working hard to develop the
natural wealth of the country and the
immigrants are both we'll to do and viz.
tuous. Thus far they have gotten
along very well without gas, electricity
or telephones. They receive the news
Of the world only in foreign papers,
they are rarely visited by outsiders,
aud have absolute faith in one another.
There is only one prison in the dis.
trict, and though its jailer receives a
fair salary his position is a sinecure.
In the past five years there has been
only one inmate of the prison. There
are several hotels, but in most of them
there are no locks on the doors, and no
one dreams of locking his door when
this appliance is provided. When hun
cry folk enter the restaurants they
find a liberal supply and variety of eat.
ables spread out on the counters. Each
helps himself to what he desires and
at the end Of his meal deposits tho
money he owes at the cashiers desk.
The Germans seem to have created an.
other Arcadia in the southern part Of

One Thing He Didn't Care For.

The venerable Bishop Wilmer, of Mo.

burned brightly to the last. We have
heretofore recorded that when on his
deathbed. when asked If he felt as
though he were passing away. he re-
piled:
"You must remember that 1 have
never passed away, and may moi rec
ognize the symptoms"
Here is one of a like character. If
was deemed advisable to learn what
were his wishes about his last resting
place, and the question asked was:
Bishop, where do you want to be
buried?"
The answer was Immediately: II
don't want to be buried."-N. Y. Times.

A DEsTRucTvE FIRE.
John Pesheck Once More the VIC
tim of Destructive Blazes.

About noon on Friday, while Mrs.
John Pesheck was busy in another part
of the house, fire broke out in the
kitchen, which is in w'n. on the
south side of the house, which is 10
Gated on section 15, in the township of
Getty. Mr.. Pesheck was in the stable,
about sixty rods southeast of the
house, when he observed smoke issu-
ing from the the roof and he immedi-
ately ran to the house to find the kitch-
en- in flames, which his wife had not
discovered. They worked with might
and main fighting fire with buckets of
water, which steadily gained Roadway
and before they gave up the fight the
entire house was SO completely en-
veloped in fire that they were unable
to save much of value. The family
clothing, all the household supplies,
beds, bedding and furniture were
burned, with very trifiing exception.
A good bicycle belonging to a son
who was not at home, and other like
property of value was also burned.
A large brand driven by the fierce
and cold northwest wind set fire to the
straw stacks which were on the south of
the barn. The progress of the fire
against the wind was slow but very
sure. He had abundant time to re-
move all his stock, tools and impli-
ments from the barn, before it burned,
the building and about five tons of hay
being his only loss there. @ 3
He figures his total loss at $4,000 up
on which there was no insurance. Mr..
Pesheck is man of intelligence, a
good farmer and a hustler, but unfor-
tunately he lost faith n insurance at
the time he was burned out on the
Kriser farm-just south of the city.
I Through failure on his part to make
a formal notification If his loss within
the time specified in the policy, he was
unable to collect, and as result he is
strongly prejudiced against insur-
ance.
Mr.. Pesheck will fit over his grain
cry, which escaped destruction, for a
dwelling for his immediate uses.

The PfeifferCase.

1t will be remembered that sever al
years ago F. Pfeiffer, known as the
little tailor, was taken to the St. Cloud
hospital for treatment. He owned the
house and lot on Third-st. near the
City hall, which he occupied at the
time, and little money besides. The
hospital authorities took care of him
until the value of the property was all
gone in hospital barges, and the pro-
perty sold to meet the debt. A little
later Pfeiffer was committed to the
Fergus Falls insane hospital, where
he remained for some time, but was dis
charged. Still feeble in health, he re-
turned to St. Cloud and again entered
the hospital, which is located on the
east side, in the township of Haven, in
s herburne county. The question of
paying for his care in the hospital was
raised as to the liability of Sank Cen :
tire, or the township of Haven, to which
he went after his discharge from the
insane asylum. Haven paid under pro-
test, and appealed to the board of COR
rections and charities to determine
whether Sank Gentle or Haven was
chargeable. This board, through its
agent who Investigated the case, de-
cided that Pfeiffer was legal resident
of Sank Centre, and actionwas brought
a0ainst this city by Haven towuShi n
for the money paid out. The case was
brought before Judge Giddings at Elk
River. Judge Barto appearing for this
city. The district court found judy
ment against Sank Centre for $40 and
costs of suit. and charge d this city with
the future care OF Pfeiffer. From this
decision the city attorney has been in
structed to appeal tothe supreme court.
