The inevitable elimination of long
illness while not q surprise to his fell
low citizens and friends. was q source
OF deep sorrow to the community with
which he has been closely identified
Tor a quarter of century, during all
OF which tims he has been in active
business. Upright and sincere, he
gained the confidence and esteem of
all with whom he has in anyway as
ISOLATED, and his genial nature attract
ed circle of warm friends who feel
his loss as personal bereavement.
Inclined to be reticent and retiring, it
is within his own family and within
this circle that he was regarded with
that exalted sentiment which merit
alone inspires. Those who knew him
best admired him most. No wonder
that within his own family circle he
was idolized. For three years he has
been an invalid-a patient sufferer
without one word of complaint or i'm
patience, and devoted daughters, Mrs.
w. L. Henshaw and Mrs. II. E. Will
COX, with their respective husbands
who have been equally devoted, have
anticipated his every want and min
istered to him with loving service
which left nothing to be desired.
They have never been willing to &C
cept assistance, although sympathetic
friends have repeatedly rendered it..
The mutual devotion and tenderness
between parent and children has been
beautiful indeed. They revered him
and he conferred upon them wealth of
affection which made the home life
ideal.

Uriel Montague Tobey was born al
Sullivan N. Y, on May 81, 1926, and
married Mary Scougall atFayetteville
On January Is, 1851. Five years later
they removed to Riverside. ILL.,, and
in 1862, came to Stearns county, set.
thing in St. Cloud where they lived
fourteen years. In 1875 he removed to
Sank Centre and engaged in the -four
and feed business, and a year later
added stock of groceries. He was
the first one to establish the system OF
free delivery of goods to the home OF
the purchaser.
Twenty years ago he associated
with him his brother Clinton c., be-
tween whom the closest bonds of af-
lection have always existed, and their
perfect accord has been a subject of
frequent remark.
In 1893 Mr.. Tobey was elected may or
of Sank Centre. and served one term,
and in 1883 he was appointed post
master by President Cleveland, and
held that Office during the succeeding
four years. He has always taken a
keen interest in local, state and nation
al affairs, afiliating with the demo-
cratic party, of which he has been an
Influential member.
Seven years ago his wife died, and
her loss was keenly felt by him. A
year later he was stricken with par
alysis and for months he was unable
to attend to business; but though slow,
his recovery was complete. About
three, years ago his health commenced
to fail through a complication of dis
eases, and during all that time the in
roads upon his vigorous constitution
have been steady, though not rapid.
The immediate cause of death was
Bright's disease.
The funeral occurs this afternoon
from the home on Main-st., DR.. j. F.
Hamilton officiating. The pall-bear
ers are D. Marshall, T. L. Mccormick,
c. M. Boss, B. w. How, j. G. Jacob
and J. Fred Cooper.
In the death of Mr.. Tobey, the city
ofSauk Centre experiences aloss which
will be keenly felt. A vacancy has
been made in the community which
will long be recognized.
. To the devoted daughters and other
relatives and friends goes out un-'
bounded sympathy in their affection.

Town Election.


The township of Sank Centre had an
interesting town meeting. At the eau
Gus a. W. Botz declined re-nominatio
for chairman, and the choice lay be-
tween j. 81. Hartley and Albert Hatch,
who had been clerk for q number oil
wears. Mr.. Hatch won the nomination,
and Mr.. Hartley was nominated one OF
the supervisors the position he has
held for wears, and E. L. Thomson
was nominated for clerk.
Some of the voters in the southern
part Of the township were dissatisfied
with the ticket, in that all the officers
but the treasurer and one supervisor
were from the same part OF the town.
Mr.. Botz was persuaded to run as an
independent candidate for chairman,
and Frank Psngburn was placed upon
the o-called peoples ticket for clerk.
Notwithstanding the storm there

following were elected: Supervisors,
Fl. Bstz, Chr, J. 81. Hartley, C. D..
Wilcox; Clerk, Edgar L. Thomason;
Treasurer, n. Borgmann; Assessor,
j. 81. Garfield; Justice of the Peace,
Chas. Kortan; Constable. M. Kline.
Mr.. Botz received IS votes and Mr..
Hatch 80. Mr.. Thomson received 80
votes and Mr.. Pangburn 81. All the
other candidates received practically
the full vote cast.
BRIDGE BONDS.
There was submitted at the election,
in separate ballot, the following
proposition which explains itself:
The Board of Supervisors of the
Town of Sank Centre, in the county
of Stearns aud state of Minnesota,
are directed to issue the bonds of said
Town in the amount of twenty-five
hundred (2,5oO.oO dollars, with
coupons attached, for the purpose of
building bridge across the Sank
River, where the same is crossed by
the public highway in section num-
bered fifteen 15), in said town.
Said bonds to be issued on the Third
day of June, A. D., 1901, in the
sum of five hundred (5OO) dollars
each, to be payable as follows:
Five hundred (5oO) dollars, on
the first day of July 1902; five
hundred (5oO) dollars, on the first
day of July, 1903; five hundred
{50o) ollars, on the frstGay Of July,
1904; and one thousand (looo) dol
lars on the first day of July, 1905;
with interest thereon, payable an
nually, not to exceed the rate of six

place of the wooden structure across
the river on the Melrose road.

blown down and Chicago was prac-
tically isolated from the West anu

service was crippled badly and wa.
OF little or no value. Neither Milwau

considered the worst gale that has

sition, has arrived at New York. The
American exhibit was left in charge of
Henry B. Smell, tie assistant director,
who will remain with it until it is

abroad Mr.. Cauldwell said: "Our fine
arts exhibit at the Paris exhibition
attracted general attention and was
commented upon most favorably not
only by the French, but by the Ger
man, Austrian and Italian critics. some
OF whom expressed astonishment at
the progress made by the painters and
sculptors of the United States DURING
the last decade. A marked interest
was sshownparticularly in the canvases
OF our artists residing at home as dis
tinguished from our artists residing
abroad, and it was generally conceded
that their work showed indisputable
evidence of the hedevelopment of strong.

ARMY TO HELP EDUCATE.
Bill Now Before Congress Provides
for Military Instructors in Schools
Desiring the Same.

1t will be interesting to the male
school children of the United States to
know that the house has agreed to
bill introduced by Col. Marsh, of Illi-
nois, which permits the president to
detail in addition to the army and navy
officers now authorized, retired officers
and non-commissioned officers of the
army and navy, as military instructors
in the schools of the United States,
where such instruction is authorized
by the educational authorities and
where the services of the instructors
are requested. The only expense to the
schools will be the cost of Communication
OF quarters of the officers.
The preamble of the act recites that
as the national defense must depend
upon the volunteer service of the peo-
pie, the schools which shall adopt a sys-
tenn of military instruction are en-
titled to the assistance of the govern
ment, in order to secure to the United
States such knowledge of military af-
fairs among the youth of the country
as will render them efficient as volun-
teers, if called upon for the national
defense.
Col. Marsh said: eff this measure is
adopted it will result in giving the
youth of the country military train
ing which will be valuable to the gov
ernment in time of need"
He is confident the bill will be adopt
ed by the senate.

FILLED ALL REQUIREMENTS.
She Wanted a Real Sensible Book and
She Took Robinson
Crusoe.

The trials of librarians in city libraries
have often been cited; those of the guardi-
ans of small country libraries are of a diff
ferent character, but require perhaps the
exercise of even greater patience, says
Youths Companion.
ma wants you should pick her out a
book" said freckle-faced girl to the bright
young woman in charge of the free library of
New England village; 'and she don't want
4 serious one, she says, nor she don't want
a love story, without it's founded on fact
Nor of course, she, don't want anything she's
ever read before"
The librarian tapped her pencil thought
fully on the desk, without a trace of de-
spair which a chance listener to this dialogue
expected to see on her face.
''Nor she don't want anything that's
chopped up into short stories, she says"
continued the girl, bent on the Librarians S
further enlightenment, "and she wants con-
siderble going on, and lot of pictures, ma
does And she told me partic'lar to say
she didn't want no dIlec' stories; she saws
she knows well enough how folks in the
country talk"
Still the librarian thoughfully tapped her
pencil, apparently waiting for further in
structions.
''She wants a real sensible book, the kind
grandma likes and like, too," volunteered
"ma's" emissary; then suddenly she leaned
over the librarian. "Say," she whispered,
hoarsely, ''if there's one of the Robinson
Cruzo books in, ma said you'd better gimme
that"
"Certainly," said the librarian, pleasant
1y, and a moment later the well-thumbed
copy of the famous adventures had changed
hands, and the happy possessor of it de-
parted wreathed in smiles.
