Obituary.

LoNG-Lawrence j. Long died at his
home in this city on Sunday morn
ing, Feb. 10, 1901, aged II years, 5
months and II days.
Deceased was born in Tipperary Co.,
Ireland, Aug. 26, 1928, and at the age
of "a years left his native country and
came to America, settling first in the
state of Connecticut, later coming
west as far as Dubuque and finally
locating in this county, where he died
as above stated, of heart failure.
superinduced by an attack of lagrippe,
after an illness of about ten days.
Five and thirty years ago he came
to Howard county and located on
plot of her peerless prairie land in
Paris twp. Twas here he titled the
virgin soil till it blossomed as the rose:
twas here he founded him a home.
He endured all the trials and vicissi-
tudes incident to pioneer life and bore
them bravely. With a willing heart
and steady hand he stuck to the plow,
and wrested from earth'S bosom the
hidden wealth she holds. Five years
ago he left the farm and came to
Elma to rest from the laborS advanced
age made to onerous, and to enjoy the
fruits of his years of toll. By many
Of us his familiar face will be sadly
missed and his CHEEKY greeting we
shall hear no more this side of the
Great White Throne. An affectionate
husband, a loving father, kind
friend, an honest, upright man has
fallen and as we place him beneath
the sod on this bright winters morn
ing we pause to shed tear.
| Besides wife, deceased leaves five
children, j. p. Long, of Rico, Mimi,
j. d. Long, of Ossian, and L. j. Long,
of Lourdes, and two small children,
who with numerous relatives and
friends mourn his loss.
The funeral was held from the Cath
olic church of this city Monday fore
noon, Rev. Father Gum officiating.
lnterment took place in the Catholic
cemetery at Lourdes, whittier the
remains were followed by large con-
course ofsympathizing friends, Father
Nelson officiating at the grave

A Land Swindle.
Frost, Mimi, Feb. 13, 100

| HlooU, Mluu., foD. l0, lSUl.
w. r. MEAD, ESQ, Cresco, Ia.
Dear Sir:-While enclosing draft in
payment for subscription itstruck me
that you might be interested with a
few remarks in regard to a trial held
in Blue Earth this week and which
has been attracting considerable at
tention in various parts of the coun-
try. The point of interest in it for
you is that it will recall the operations
Of swindler in Howard county a
couple or so years ago whereby HI. T..
Reed was the loser in as clever and
systematic swindle as has been per-
petrated for some time past.
On the 2ud day of last July a party
purporting to be one David n. Ross
negotiated loan of Miss Garrison
through her agent j. A. Van Slyke
at Blue Earth, giving as security a
mortgage on piece of Faribault land.
1t afterwards proved that the whole
thing was forgery, the affidayits
being drawn up by parties not Notary
Publics and the deal was a fraud from
beginning to end. A Thos. r. Senter
was arrested some time ago in Iowa
and stood trial at Council Bluffs for a
similar crime but managed to escape
by proving an alibi. Before he could
get away the deputy sheriff of this
county took him in tow and brought
him to Blue Earth. Mr.. Senters
home is in Missouri and about twenty
MisSourians iourneyed to Fairbault
county to testify as to the where
bouts Of their neighbor, Senter, as
being elsewhere than in Blue Earth
at the time the deal was made. Able
counsel on both sides of the case have
conducted the trial, the defendant
being represented by Iowa and
Missouri attorneys of considerable
standing while the states case was
conducted by County Attorney
Putnam, and Albert III. Hall of
Minneapolis who you will remember
assisted in the trial and conviction of
Harry Hayward. 1t was my good
fortune to be in Blue Earth yesterday
afternoon and hear the plea of Mr..
Hall. 1t was mastery, able and con-
vincing and from the mannerin which
he tore to pieces the apparently un-
answerable alibi of the defense, it did
not seem to me that it was possible
for Senter to escape conviction. [
have just learned that the jury went
out after the evening session and after
about two or three hours found the
prisoner guilty.
| Some time ago, the Blue Earth and
other similar swindlers were mention
in the dispatches as probably having
been perpe etrated by one and the same
individual and the Cresco deal was
spoken of in connection there with
and if this Senter is without doubt
guilty, then Mr.. Reed will no doubt
be as fully gratitied over the result OF
the trial as are those who assisted in
the conviction of Senter, believing as
they did that without the shadow OF
J doubt che is the man."
Yours truly,

A slight fall of snow Sunday will

A slight fall of snow Sunday will
keep the sleighing in repair for few
days, Of which the farmers are
taking advantage in bringing in their
hay, grain, and other produce and
those in the timber are bringing in
large quantities Of excellent second
growth wood, of which there is more
on the market than we have seen at
any one time in the past forty years.
Robert Gilcrest has bought farm
two miles from Elk River, village of
1900 Inhabitants in Sherburne county,
Minnesota. The town has two rail
roads, the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific, is within two hours
run of Minneapolis and ST. Paul. The
land is of fine quality well watered
with lakes and streams abounding in
fish. Frank T. White, Elk River,

opportunities Of the country.
Mrs. Thomas Horton, of North
wood, Iowa, who will be remembered
as Nellie Thompson, daughter of Mrs.
Jas. Thompson, died in California the
18th inst. of consumption. She has
been i'll since last fall, and short
time ago was taken to California in
hope of relief, but was confined to her
bed from her arrival there until her
death. She leaves a husband and
three children. Her mother, accom-
panied by VIM. River, of this place,
and D. E. Horton and wife of Gran
ger, Mimi, left Monday to attend the
funeral which will be held today.
Miss Mary Healy daughter of John
Healy was united in marriage with
Mr.. Ed. Collins at the Catholic church
at Lourdes on the morning of Feb. 1s.
by the Rev. Father Nelson, and they
will reside at Elma. This office for
several years has had the pleasure of
the acquaintance of the bride, who
ranks with the most popular school
teachers of the county, and it congra-
tulates Mr.. Collins on winning the
heart and hand of this estimable wo-
man. May long life and happiness be
theirs.
The people of this city were shocked
to-day on learning that Mrs. Martin
DAILY had passed away as it was gener-
ally understood that she was improv-
ing in health, yet she had been sick
for some considerable time. Deceased
was born in Ireland but emigrated to
this country in an early day and in
1858 was united in marriage in this
', city to Martin DAILY, who with five
children, the Misses Mary and Julia
and DR.. j. j., DR.. VIM. T. and Martir
DAILY Jr., also other kindred, survive
her, and Judging her from her children
she must have been good mother
who lived and toiled for those she
loved. --Elkader Democrat.

DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Powders
which should be exposed.


which should be exposed.
There has recently been attempted
at some of our grocery stores, and also
at dwelling houses, by agents who are
trying to sell alum baking powders,
what the exhibitors call baking
powder test. They pretend to show
by some boiling test that pure cream
of tartar baking powders contain some
thing which every woman of intelli-
gence knows they do not.
1t does not need a chemist toexpose
this trick. Cream of tartar, which is
the chief constituent of the best and
most wholesome baking powder, is
originally clear, white crystal. This
is ground into fine, creamy flour, in
which form, mixed with baking soda,
it is present in the baking powder.
Cream of tartar, when mixed with
water and boiled simply returns to its
crystalline form, and that is all there
is to the so-called test.
The matter of special interest to the
public is to know what these people
offer in place OF cream of tartar pow
ders of well-known purity and estab-
lished reputation against which these
ISLANDERS are directed. They are Offer
ing baking powder which official an
alyses have repeatedly shown is made
from alum, a drug so well recognized
by physicians and scientists as injuri-
Gus to health that in many countries
it's use in bread is entirely prohibited.
So cheap and inferior are the ingredi-
ents of this powder that it costs to
make less than three cents a pound.
No prudent housewife will knowingly
put such stuff as this into her food.
A suit for $4,000 damages has re-
Gently been brought against Pitts
burg dealer who sold an article which
injured the health of the purchaser.
1t is question how far the grocer's
responsibility goes who grants the use
of his premises for the sale of goods
by deceptive practices. Certainly he
cannot by SO doing otherwise than dis
credit his business methods generally
in the minds of his patrons.
