Coralled the Gang.

George E. Rivers, alias tWhiskers''
and his gang of notorious pals will
now await the action of the grand jury
of the district court at its next general
term inasmuch al they have been held
to answer for the robbery of the gen.
eral merchandise store of M. j. Kot-
schevar, of St. Joe. These are the
men arrested at Cold Spring by Mar.
shal Val Kray and Detective Flynn,
of the Great Northern for carrying
concealed weapons. The first suspi-
cion the officers had against them was
stealing clothing and shoes, which
they we're selling to people at Cold
Spring. They served a short sentence
at the county Jail and in the mean
time Sheriff Schilplin wound irresist-
able chain Of evidence around them as
the guilty parties. They had their
hearing before Judge Limperich and
were bound over.
The work which Sheriff Schilplin
and the other officers have done on
this case is very commendable and il
the prisoners are proven guilty ulti.
mately, and receive the fate which
awaits such as they, it will mean a
remarkable victory for the Sheriff OF
Stearns county, and will be a most
profitable abatement of a costly nuis-
ance to merchants, who have suffered
from such depredations as these men
are supposed to have committed.-St.

yominating q President.

Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the vice pres
ident were voted for on the same bal
lot. the man with the second highest
number Of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote.
Before 1900 it was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and it was not until 1873
that presidential electors were chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
AS late as 1876 the, Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There is nothing
In the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming its own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method Of election Is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential candi-
dates were chosen by the members or
congress In caucus In 1924 the elect
oral college failed to make a choice
from the candidates so submitted. and
the matter went to the house OF repre-
sentatives. Four years later Tennes-
sees, legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any. reference to the
congressional caucus. His opponent.
John Quincy Adams. was nominated In
the old way. but that was the end OF
presidential nominations by congress
sional caucus.-New York Sun

The Concert.

The Ladies Musical Club is to be
congratulated upon the success of it's
first public concert, which was given
al the Auditorium on Thursday even
ing of last week. It was without doubt
the most artistic concert ever given in
the city.
The Auditorium vas a picture in
itself, the beautiful costumes worn by
the ladies and the tastefully arranged
decorations lent a peculiar charm
a dainty setting for the exquisite pro-
gram of the evening.
The members OF the club assisted by
Mrs. Elizabeth Hawkins, soprano, of
Minneapolis, Mr.. William Henshaw,
tenor, and the Symphony orchestra
rendered a delightful program.
Mrs. Hawkins is the possess or of a
beautiful lyric soprano voice, which is
finely cultivated. Her selections were
rendered in a truly artistic style, which
won for her several recalls. She has
a fine stage presence, and sang herself
into popular favor. She studied with
Mr.. John Hodsdon of Boston, and he
has every reason to be proud of his
pupil.
The orchestra contributed in no
small way to the evenings entertain
ment, few, if any, towns of this size
can boast of so fine an aggregation as
the Symphony orchestra.
The piano solo by Miss Whipp!e and
the piano duet by Miss Howard and
Miss White, as also the vocal duet by
Mrs. Hawkins and Mr.. Henshaw and
the closing quartet, Good Night, "
from Martha, were rendered finely.
Mrs. Kate Miner, the accompanies,
was most satisfactory.
1t is earnestly hoped that the Ladies
Musical Club will give more of these
public recitals.

Sweetly Sad.

The funeral of Miss Hired Loveseth,
from the Hilsdale residence on Thurs
day last vas very largely attended,
and everyone present was a moupner
indeed. The casket, of beautiful white
satin, wreathed with smilax, was in
its simple purity a fitting receptacle
for the mortal remains of this lovely
girl. Beautiful flowers were every
where disposed in perfect taste. The
Rebekah lodge sent a beautiful en-
blematic wreath, surmounted by a
white dove, and the employees of the
Boston contributed a profusion of
flowers, as did the relatives and
friends. DR.. Hamilton said the Epis-
copal service, eve nor impressive
than upon this occasion. The Epis-
copal choir assisted by Mrs. Hawkins
rendered the music-favorite hymns
of the departed one.
The pail bearers were Mel and Leo
Scherfius, Irving Emerson, Fay
Sprague, Chas. Johnson and w. S.
Dickinson. The honorary pail bear
ers, dressed in white and laden with
flowers for the grave, were Misses
O'Connor, McMasters, Scherfius, KEEL
er, Dean, Josie Emerson, Blanche
Kells and Blanche Howard.
The grave was literally lined with
flowers. It seemed, indeed, that she
was laid to rest in q bed OF roses.
