The question was raised at the
preliminary meeting of the Board
of Trade, that there might be some
misunderstanding as to the pur-
poses for which it shall exist-that
the farmers might consider that it
was an association of business men
to hamper or control trade and bus
iness-to fix prices. In other words
that it is a selfish business combin-
alton. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. With business as
transacted between buyer and sell

will interest itself in getting new
business enterprises 10 the city,
whenever possible. Its sole and
only purpose is to look after the i'm
terest of the city as whole. To
make Sank Centre the most desir-
able town in central Minnesota as
a trading point; to secure good
roads; to insure good markets for
whatever produce may be offered !;
to beautify and make more attrac-
tive the city as place of residence I;
/ to attract to the city travellers and
visitors--in short to leave nothing
undone which will improve its APP
perance, the volume of it's business
and its reputation. The interests
of the farmer will be advanced
whenever and wherever opportun-
ity affords this city fully ap-
preciates the fact that the city's
welfare is dependent very largely
upon the farmers prosperity. The
city couldn't exist without the
farming country tributary to it.

Desperate Deed of Rejected Suiter-NO
Eye Witnesses of the Tragedy-Ev-
idenCes Of a Struggle on the
Part of the Young Lady.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. l1.-A double kill
ing of the most shocking and tragic nature
was committed near Ehzabethten, In
Carter county, East Tennessee, about
noon today. Frank Kidwell, a reckless
young man who had repeatedly sought the
love Of Miss Ada Thompson, a pretty l6-
year-old girl, only to be denied his heart 8
hope, shot her four times With revolver
twice in the breast, once in the shoulder,
and once through the right hand. de
then turned tie revolver upon himself
and fred two shots, either Of which was
fatal.
There were evidences of desperate
struggle on the part of Miss Thompson TO
save her life, and it was this that caused
her to receive one shot through the hand
The tragedy was enacted in a lonely
piece of woodland and there we're no eye
witnesses to relate the details, go that
whatever anguish may have been suffered
Immediately preceding the tragic end must
remain forever unknown.
Miss Thompson, who was the popular
and amiable young daughter of Samuel
Thompson, of Watauga. Tenn, left her
fathers home early this morning for the
public school, two miles distant, where
she had arranged to spend the day as
visitor. At about IL O'Clock a. m. young
Kidwell appeared at the school house door
and called for Miss Thompson, stating TO
the teacher that the girls father had sent
for her to come home. Miss Thompson
left the school room at once, and she and
KidwelI were seen walking away together.
Kidwell was overheard TO resume his
love.making. and to ask the young girl to
marry him. Miss Thompson, who is said
TO have cared nothing for him, was heard
to firmly deny him this wish The TWO
had not gone far until the lonely spot was
reached wherethe disappc inted young man
carried out his purpose with a tragedy
which has shocked an grieved that COM
mnnity beyond all former occurrences.
Kidweil, who was only q years Of age,
was in the United States navy, 1t is said,
until the Spanish American war broke out
when he deserted. He was son OF the
late X. Kidwell, a merchant at Plney
