cOUNTY'S FARM SOLD.
The County has Sold Their big
Farm alta G0Od Profit. ..g s

A few years ago the county pur.
chased a section farm to- protect the
tax payers against loss in the Day,
Thompson failure, the facts Of which
are more familiar to the public than
to the writer. " .,>@...s y.iss es,*5 8
Monday the farm was sold to James
McRoberts, of Ellsworth, for $l9,O ,O2O.
The piece contained $40. acres less
railroad right of way. Twenty. five
dollars per acre was paid for it and
sold at thirty, the county realizing
$ll 600 on the deal, due largely to in.
crease in price of real estate, but this
was foreseen by the commissioners, to
who much credit should be given for
90 successfully handling this business
without a loss to tax payers, but a

Will Know in Il Few DAYS.

Like Banquo's ghost the story that
Attorney W. A. Funk is to enter the
field as candidate for the scongrea,
sional nomination against ;. f.. Nc
Cleary, will not down. The talk that
he will don the Gloves and meet
the schoo]master was stronger today
than it ever was before. A we'll known
Republican of this city who general
ly has his ear to the ground said to a
reporter for the Review. "lt is dol
lars to doughnuts that Mr.. Funk will
De in the race, and I am convinced
( ut something will materialize within
a few days. And, another thing
should Mr.. Funk announce his can,
didacy, he will make things hum all
along the line"
MIR. Funk when approached today
and asked about the story of his de-
coming a candidate fer congress, i'm.
media:ely shut up like a clam and
says nothing. But it is safe to pre-
dict that something is brewing-and
it is likely to materalize.
Congressman McCleary is not turn
ing d:af ear to the talk that Mr.
Funk is likely to cross swords with
him in the political arena. In fact
Mr.. McCleary is on the anxious seat
and he is setting his postmasters al
work. A circular letter was sent GU,
to these officials few days ago in
or ming them that he had delivered
speech on the Puerto Rican tariff
bill, and that just as soon as it could
be printed copies would be forwarded
to them. They we're requested tc
see to it that copies we're properly
distributed among the voters. Mr.
McCleary said in his lette,
he learned that his vote on the bill
had created criticism. He hoped his
speech would turn the tide in bis
favor.-Mankato Daily Review.

Crushed and SmOthered.

Saturday afternoon, Henry Rogers
Raatges,) aged 19 years, was crushed
and smothered to death by a bin of
corn.
He, with several other men, were
cleaning grain for his father, Jacob
Rogers on Frank Chute's fern, sec.
tion 10, Summit Lake township. They
had about completed their work and
his companions had loft the granary,
he remained behind to do some work,
when without warning the second
floor of the sranary collapsed precipi-
tating about two hundred bushels of
corn upon the Young man. He was
crushed to the floor with his face in
some other small grain. @

Firemen Make a Run

About nine thirty Monday morning
an alarm of fire was turned in from
Geiger's restaurant, opereted by E.
J. Helmick.
The apparatus was quickly on the
ground but the water was not re.
quired. The alarm was caused by
material in the stove pipe taking fire
and causing the kitchen to be filled
with smoke. Mrs. Helmick was in
another room and upon. opening the
kitchen door saw the room filed with
smoke concluded the building wat
atire and lost no ii re in turning ir
the alarm. She did not even wait tc
awaken her husband who was asleep,
on account of being up nights. This
was the proper action as a high
wind prevailed and the building be-
ing near the lumber yard, had a fire
broke out it would have been a seri.
GUS one.
One of our most prominent bust.
ness men was heard to say, "It is re-
markable how quick the fire gel
around and get the apparatus on the
ground" This is word of encour.
agement and the remark is very true

the best volunteer fire department in

No OratiOnS.

The custom of graduating classes
giving orations and essays is ,gradu :
ely growing into disfavor, the pract-
ice being dispensed with in many
places. The following from the
Mankato Daily Free Press relative to
action that has been taken there on
subject: .~
Il The most important action taken at
the open session was the granting of
the request Of the graduating class to
have speaker on their commence
ment program instead of the rather
antiquated practice of essays and ora.
tions by the graduates. The class
preferred to give their time to their
studies, and Supt. Uline gave this
purpose his endorsement, calling the
attention of the board to the fact
that the schools are intended to give
intellectual rather than eIocutionary
trsining. The public will not be
called upon to suffer for two or three
hours in order to see the young ladies
and gentlemen receive their diplomas,
and there will be no heart burninps
on the part of those who were not se-
lected to appear on the program,
and their parents and friends.
Each of the twenty or more gradu-
ates will leave the public schools on
exactly the same level, without favor
itisp and without applause for some
&, love Iauaas hsre.
None OF them will enter upon life'a
work handicapped, by comparison of
their ability, as is inevitable when
some appear on the program and
others do not. $

1S the License Fee This Year.
Probably will be only Four
Saloons. Council Opposed to
one in a Church Block.
The village council met in special
session Friday evening to act on ap-
plications for saloon license for the
the coming year.
All the members were present.
Call of meeting read. On motion the
license fee was fixed $500. for
selling Intoxicating liquor. On mo-
tion the application of T. W. Heavy,
Martin Levine, Ivan Erickson and
F. H. Jaspers were accepted and IL
cense be granted. The bonds were
then taken up and all approved with
the following sureties: Mr.. Keavy's,
Theo. Felt and Fred Kuhl; Martin
Levine, G.. w. Wilson and E. J.
Wolven; Ivan Erickson, j. A. Albin-
sou and G. Fl. Johnston; F. H Jaspers
Fred Mohl and A. M. Becker. This
being all the business the meeting
was called, the meeting adjourned.
As the last years license do not
expire until midnight April 9th, the
licenses were not taken out, hut Fri.
day T. W. Heavy and Martin Levine
took theirs.
The application of F. H. Lands
was not set for hearing until the next
meeting, but it is reported. and the
report is quite authentic, that the
council will not allow y saloon III Che
same block with church, especially
where they would be so close to-
gether. Mr.. Lands has paid one
months rent for the Wilson build
ing. He will probably be unable to
get another building and there will
be only four saloons.
The action of the council in raising
the amount of license will meet with
the appreciation of nearly everyone
in thevillage. Some have said that i,
ought to be placed higher, but thu
council gave the subject due con
sideration before taking formal ac
ton.

How the Boer Women Put in Their
Time During the War.

BOor wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters, whose male relatives are
fighting now, are passing through an
unnecessarily anxious time, says the
London Mail. The war authorities at
Pretoria apparently hold strictly self
lsh views upon the subject Of casualty
lists, deeming it impolitic to let those
who are bareayed know that their men
folk are dead. Owing to the influence
the knowledge might have on others
who are going TO the front, the Boer
war Office keeps its secrets inviolate
and does not issue news Of loses on the
field. The elder generation Of Boer
women will probably be bearing the
suspense in tight-lipped, listless ST.
lence, but the girls who have received
the benefits OF education will under
stand how cruel their position is and
fret in impotent wrath beneath the
injustice inflicted upon them by this
reticence What kind OF lives are
these women leading? In all likelihood
pretty much what they led in ordinary
times. Their farms are squat, two or
three roomed buildings, dumped down
on the veldt far away from neighbors.
in the center Of the acreage OF land
EARNED by the proprietor They are
wretchedly uncomfortable habitations,
for Boer women are not house-proud.
Formerly no Boer woman received
more than an apology for an educa-
ton and very lame one at that Now,
however, some of the youngsters are
sent to the convent schools and are
modelled into very much improved edi-
tons OF the original Beers.

Inmates we should build the best
schools and send them the best teach
ers. That is the great trouble with
work, the bright Christian teachers
will not devote their time to these edu-
cational opportunities. The class is
naturally small, the classroom very
depressing, and the remuneration not
enticing.
Most important of all, we should
surround them with Christian love.
The matron of deaf and dumb school
told me the deaf mutes were happy as
long as they were inside the four walls
Of the school. but the children in the
street would tease and tantalize them.
AS we help the helpless, God will care
for us.
"Tlfere is beautiful story told that
one day a clergyman was visiting a
deaf and dumb school. and the teacher,
having sent the pupils to the black
board, the visiting clergyman asked a
! young boy there three questions. First,
! Who made the world?' Immediately
/ the deaf-mute child wrote, In the be-
] ginning God created the heavens and
/ the earth. Question the second: Why
! did Jesus Christ come into the world?
With a smile the lad again wrote
This is faithful saying, and worthy
of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ
came into the world to save sinners
The clergyman hesitated for moment
/ and then asked: Why were you born
deaf and dumb, while l can hear and
speak?'
"A tear started yet the lad hesitated
net, but wrote Even so, Father, FOL
so it seemed good in thy sight.
"In that last great day may our sin
full ears hear the words We'll done.
For then the dumb shall speak and tht
silent lips sing for joy"

Legend OF the Topaz.

The topaz is called the stone OF
gratitude, and the old Roman books
record a suggestive legend. The blind
Emperor Theodosius used to hang
braZen gong before his palace gates
and sit beside it on certain days hear
ing and putting to rights the griev-
ances of any of his subjects. Those
who wished for his advice and help
Lad but to sound the gong, and i'm
nediately admission into the presence
of Caesar was obtained One day a
great snake crept up to the gate and
struck the brazen gong with its coils,
and Theodosius gave orders that no
one should modest the creature and
babe her to tel him her wish. The
snake bent her crest lowly in homage
and straightway told the following
tale: Her nest was at the base or
the gateway tower. and while she had
gone to find food for her young brood
a strange beast covered with sharp
needles had invaded her home, killed
the nestlngs and now held possession
OF the little dwelling. Would Caesar
grant her justice? The Emperor gave
orders for the porcupine to be slain
and the mother to be restored to her
| desolate nest. Night fell and the
| sleeping world had forgotten the EN-
perors kindly deed, but with the early
dawn a great serpent glided into the
palace, up the steps into the roya
chamber and laid upon each of the
Emperor's closed eyes cleaning
topaz. When Emperor Theodosiu'
awoke he found he was no Longer
blind, for the mother snake had pait
her debt OF gratitude.

From recently published letters of
Sir Alfred Miner it seems that on Nov.
30 of last year he wrote to Mr.. Cham
berlain about "thc colossal ornaments
of the TransvaaI and described the
Boer republic as "a huge arsenal" The
warning came too late and the world,
as consequence. has seen during the
closing year of the century two little
republics successfully confronting the
greatest empire of modern times. The
future historian Of the Transvaal war
will have some interesting materials
at hand when he comes to narrate this
struggle almost without Il parallel in
