The announcement Sunday of the
death at an early hour that morning of
Dr.. Jas. Cass came as great surprise
to his friends and the people of Van
Buren,, among whom he had lived for
the past thirteen years and who had
learned to respect him for his many
good qualities.
DR.. Cass had been complaining for
some weeks Of the effect the hot weather
had on his system and had expressed
the belief that he would not be able to
survive it. He continued attending to
his practice and appeared daily at his
office in the Masonic Temple building,
though it was apparent to the other
tenants that he was gradually growing
weaker, until within few days of his
death. Saturday afternoon his disease
developed into congestion of the stom-
ach and at 2 80 A. NJ. Sunday morning
he passed away.
Funeral services were held at his late
residence Monday afternoon and the
remains were inferred, under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows lodge, in
Fairview cemetery.
The deceased leaves a wife and one
son, the latter's residence being in
Oregon. and to them-especiaily to the
aged wife-the community extends its
sincere condolences.

Lord Southey's Guillotine.

The most eccentric action of an &C.
centric man was Lord Southey's cool
arrangement for suicide by means of a
guillotine. He had magnificent one
erected in the drawing room of his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony in
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife. sharp as razor, was of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death his lordship had his hair. cut
close, and, clothed in a robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform un-
der the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should re-
lease the knife. But the spring failed
to work, and the would-be suicide de-
cided to give the guillotine to a
museum instead of making a second
attempt to end his life. 1t is said that
he made an annual pilgrimage to see
the guillotine until the end of his life.

A LARGE OUTPUT.
MankatO Cement is Now of Better DUAL.
ity Than Ever Before.

Manager Carney returned Friday
from trip to the twin cities He
states that the sale of Mankato cement
next year will be far ahead of any
previous year The works did not open
until July this year, when all the larg
contracts were already let for the sea-
son. The cement works has accu-
mulated 1000 barrels of cement, and
will have large stock on hand by
winter. The output will soon be 700
barrels day. At present, forty-fve
men are being employed, and this
force may be slightly increased.
A new quarry has been opened,
which is furnishing stone of slightly
superior quality than that heretofore
used. The result is that the cement
now being manufactured is the best
that was ever turned out in Mankato.
Mr.. Carney expects to become the
owner of the cement works before very
long. He holds an option on the plant
which he expects to take up long be-
fore it expires.
Mr.. Carney is pushing the Mankato
cement to the front all over the north
west.

OFFICIAL GRADES.
The Bosrd of Grain Appeals Make Some
Slight Changes.

The state board of grain appeals at
it's annual meeting Saturday at the
Corn Exchange, Minneapolis, revised
the official grades of grain, and created
a new grade of oats, to be known as
"four white and to be intermediary
between "three white and No. 3
oats. The change is in the interests of
farmers since the new grade will take
stained and slightly dirty grain that
has heretofore been graded No. 3.
An important action was taken in
eliminating the word "new'' in refer
ence to the standard grades and as ap-
plying to newly harvested crops 1t
was shown that its use has been mis-
leading and confusing and that it has
tended to fix the price of grain
growers.
The "rejected" faxseed grade was
slightly amended by the insertion of the
word "burnt" instead of damp. "
The grade is now designated to receive
fax that has been "burnt, immature,
or field damaged or musty, and yet not
less than forty-seven pounds to the
measured bushel of commercially pure
seed In the rule for ''no grade
fax, the word damp" was inserted
in addition to the words "warm,
moldy, very musty or otherwise unfit
for storage"

chases this year have been larger than

markets are crowded with buyers.
While east Mr.. Brett-and party visited
the exposition at Buffalo. The electri-
cal display on the exposition grounds
was particularly interesting and i'm
pressed the.party as being the grandest
thing of the great show. The lights
are turned on at eight o'clock in the
evening, and come on slowly so that
the effect is more striking and gives
greater opportunity to witness it.
