DOGS KILL the FLoCKS.
Ours Have Held High Carnival Among
the Sheep on Fahlun Farms.

A couple or more of mischievous
ours have been a source of much dam
age to focks of sheep in the townships
OF Fahlun and Whitefeld this sum-
mer. They would make periodical
raids and wantonly kill numbers in
each flock they encountered. In such
manner John Lindblad has had 10
sheep killed, E. A. Lundgren, 4 killed
and injured; Gust Williams, killed
and two injured; Louis Norling, 10
killed; Erick Knutson, killed; A. O.
Nelson, sheep, and several pigs were
killed and injured; S. M. Swenson,
several killed and injured. For some
time it was thought that the havoc was
perpetrated by wolves, although none
have been seen IN that neighborhood.
When the last visitation was made to
John Lindblad's flock, he heard the
disturbance and hurried to the scene.
and made sure that the vicious brutes
that killed the sheep we're two dogs.
One was large black bulldog and his
companion was black mongrel with
yellow spots above the eyes. Mr..
Lindblad managed to follow the dogs
on horseback and traced them to their
respective homes. The over of the
bulldog shot him at once. The mong-
rel had no one who claimed him, but
has been hanging about the place he
stayed at for some time. There is
new state law which provides compen-
sation to the stockraiser who suffers
loss from depredations of dogs, but
none of these parties are able to avail
themselves of this, as the supervisors
OF the town must be notified within
two days after the damage is done,
and this was not done. Every gun in
that vicinity has been loaded with
buck shot and many late vigil has
been suffered in the hope of securing
shot at the depred ating brutes, but
unsuccessfully, as they seemed to
know when to come and when to stay
away.

ProWIinR Thugs.

j. Pofferl, boilermaker helper en-
ployed at the Great Northern round
house here, was assaulted in the yards
last Saturday night by some hoboes.
Mr.. Pofferl was on his way to the
round house when ore of the men &C.
costed him and asked for a match.
Pofferl replied that he had none, when
the fellow became saucy and INDUCED
in abusive language. He was told to
go about his business, when two other
fellows came to the assistance of the
first party and bounced upon Mr.. Pof-
ferl. The victim of the assault finally
got away, feeling a little the worse for
the encounter. If their motive was to
hold up Mr.. Pofferl they certainly did
not receive much for their trouble.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A. o. .Ahlln Meets instant Death at
kandiyohi Station.


L asst Wednesday morning q terrible
accident occurred at Kandiyohi sta
ton, in which the victim was A. o.
Ahlin, q young man about 18 years of
age. Mr.. Ahlin was hauling a load
OF milk to the creamery and in attem pt-
ing to cross the railroad track failed
to see an approaching freight train
which was bound for Willmar. When
he noticed the train he made desper-
ate attempt to cross ahead of it but
the horses SHE'D just as the wagon got
on the track. The momentary delay
was fatal. The engine struck the wag-
on, hurting Ahlin distance of about
100 feet and fracturing his skull. When
he was picked up life was extinct. The
wagon was smashed into kindling
wood, one wheel being all that was
left of it. The hors es Jared better than
the driver and wagon, as they had
crossed sufficiently to escape with only
a few slight bruises.
The young man was in the employ
of Alfred Blomquist, q. farmer. He
was a nephew Of the Blomquist broth
ers-John, Alfred and Charles, all of
whom live in the vicinity of Kandiyo Obi.
He had been in this country some over
a year, coming here in the spring of
1900. He leaves an aged father in
Sweden.
The funeral took place last Friday
afternoon from the Swedish Lutheran
Tripolis church, and the last sad rites
were performed by Rev. S. A. Lind
holm. The interment was in the .Tri-
polls cemetery.

He had gone to the depot to take train

THE DE LONG CONTEST.
Splendid Entertainment at the
Park Opera House Wednes-
day Ni9ht-.FulI House.

The splendid house whicn greeted the
contestants in the DsLong Brothers an
nual elocutionary contest, shows that
there is DO abatement in the interest
taken in these contests, that they are
just as popular as when first inaugural
ed, and are prolific OF much good.
The contest on the whole did not
measure up to many that have preceded
it. The recitations OF some Of the con-
testauts showed lack OF preparation.
Many OF the pieces were familiar and
not nearly 80 hard as have been attempt
cd IN times past.
Prof, Miller explained this lack OF
preparation as being due to a misunder-
standing. He said that several OF the
young gentlemen had only commenced
preparations in the last week.
Marshal Graham recited "The Switch.
mans Story;" Samuel Gourley. "Man oi
War Heroism," and Roy McCabe
speech OF Robert Emmett"
The latter young gentleman WAS the
prize winner; 1t WAS a foregone copclu.
sion at once that he would be. He made
as much Of his story as he could and his
recitation was we'll spoken. His enunci-
alton was not as sharp as it should have
been, but he made up for this in his en-
thusiastic recital of the lines OF the IA
nous Irishman's speech and fairly car
ried his audience with him. He had
full mastery of the subject and was
heartily applauded at the conclusion OF
his address.
There were two prizes offered for the
young ladies', and all OF the contestants te
did exceptionally we'll. There was q

PAY OF ENGLISH OFFICE.
Political Positions No LOnEer Present
Attractions to the
Ambitious.

Great political position has long
ceased to offer pecuniary advantages,
and at a moment when huge salaries
are paid to the able, the ''emolu-
ments' of office seem to the anlbi-
tious and the fortunate positively
contemplate, says the London Spec
tator. The regular pay" of a first
class politician never exceeds 10000
or e 5000 a year-the lord chancellor
is not paid as Il politician, but as a
great lawyer-and he only gets that
at intervals, and usually after he is
so. We doubt if any of our leading
men on either side have ever mad
by politics $4,000 a year from 40 to
the time of decease, and need scarce
" say hat this is poor pay even for
a professional man who has risen to
the top. For a man in business who
has done well it is a result which
his rivals would stigmatiZe as fail
ure, more especially as only an eX-
ceptional man. or n exceptionally
placed, can accumulate anything out
of it for the benefit of his family.
The expenses entailed by a great po-
Iitical position, with its necessary
corollary. neglect of private affairs,
eat it all up. Sinecures have been
abolished, patent places have all dis
appeared, and of pensions for poll
ticians there are none, except what
may be described as a charitable
grant to cabinet ministers who rave
served a certain number of years,
and are unusually poor. Wealth has
become more attractive than ever,
because life for the wealthy has be-
come so exciting; but nc man now
regards Office as a road to fortune.
The ambitious young man who de-
sires wealth might turn colonist, or
merchant. or shipowner, OF 'fnan-
cier," but it would never even occn1
to him to use his capacities IN try
ing to be first or second among
working politicians.
