DAY FOR MEMORY AND TEARS.
Church Services on Memorial Sunday
We're Marked With Sombre Tone.

Patriotism and long memories Of an
army Of heroes that is passing quiet
ly with the years gave tone and mo-
tive to most Of the church services
Sunday morning. Memorial Sunday
has come to be an annual day for
memory and for tears" with the sur
viving veterans OF the civil war.
Today some of them will march
with sinking hearts to the beat Of the
drums. Then they will lay wreaths
upon the graves of their unforgotten
comrades.
Old men who cannot march, whose
steps are out of time with the drum
limped slowly to church to sit in the
gray shadows with nothing drawer
than prayer and nothing more
snowy than tear for the legions
that are gone.
A majority OF the Grand Army of
the Republic is too old to march, but
it is not too old to remember and to
pray. Perhaps there will be fewer
old, faded uniforms in the parade to-
day, but the feeble veterans who will
strew no more flowers and march in
no more pageants were out with bible
and book OF prayer, mindful of the
glory that is not in flags or guns and
hopeful OF a new reunion in which
every comrade may answer .'here
A remnant of that noble army
which fought so bravely and so sue
cessfully for the preservation of the
Union and the ladies of the w. r. c.
attended the services at the Nj. f.
church Sunday morning anu in their
honor a magnificent congregation
filled the edifce and listened to an
impressive sermon delivered by Rev.
L. j. Brown of this city.

NO HARM DONE.
The Only Injury Was to the Authors
Pocketbook.

81 was at Elk Rapids, Mich. one
summer" said the bookman, "and as
was strolling around one day l met an
Indian with dog. 1t was real In'i-
an dog, long bodied, short legged ard
the homeliest canine / ever looked at
l had no sooner set my eyes on him
than f>.lt like throwing clubs and rum

"'Tie dog up. You throw. One cent

to 90 ahead. While he was tying the
dog to a bush / collected a hatful of
stones from the beach and got ready
for business. The Indian drew a line
within 30 feet of his canine and told
me to 20 ahead, while he picked up a
stick to tally as | threw / didn't want
to knock that dogs head off or break

live, | threw exactly 100 stones at that
dog, at cent stone, and never grazed
him. He was tied by long rope, and
he was lightning on the dodge. 1T the
hundredth stone l gave up in disgust,
but next day | made up my mind to hit
that dog or die. On that day it cost
me $1.70 for throws. and still no hits.
On the third day it cost me 50, and at
the end of week l was out 81 and
hadn't tally. l was getting lop shoul-
dered, nearsighted and ugly tempered,

throwing and go fishing. The Indian

and hit it by keeping it until this

of Danville. They have very good
corn if the whole fields equal the
samples.

ALL SHOULD KNOW 1T.

A woman has been through the state
for two or three years past collecting
money, as she says, for Children s
Home in Minneapolis; sometimes she
calls it German home. Her name is
Mrs. Harp, and it is well-known fact
that she does not represent any child
ren's home or anything that is in any
way charity. She has private ly-
ing in place where girls go in times of
confinement, paying for their care.
There is no board of responsible per
sons or organization in charge of the
affair; it is wholly private matter
and whatever money she obtains she
uses as she pleases.
We repeatedly find that persons who
have not taken the pains to look into
the matter have given her money,
supposing that they.were giving to the
work of the Children's Home society
of Minnesota. 1t has been stated by
some persons that she has had our
literature in her possession and has
given them the impression that she
had come in the place of. our Rev. D.
B. Jackson, who died awhile....ago, so
that they were the more easily misled.
All the authorized representatives
of the society have credentials and it's
friends are earnestly requested to see
to it that they give money for the
work only to such authorized represen-
tatives

SKIN GRATING.
Successfully Done at ST. Joseph's Hospi-
tai Friday Morning.

A little Kasota boy, who
got terribly burned by gasoline stove
short time ago, was the subject of a
successful skin grating operation at
st. Joseph's hospital Friday morning.
One leg was SO badly burned that the
skin had pealed off of a large portion
of it, and would not grow again with
out CRAFTS to get it started. The ply
sicians, Drs. Andrews and Osborn, an
nounced in last evenings papers that
they would like volunteers to call at
the hospital this morning to allow
strips of skin to be taken aud used on
the little boys limb.
Liberal CRAFTS were taken from the
boys father and mother, and also two
70 lunteers, Miss Catherine Bergman,
stenographer at the Deering Office, and
@. L. Kennedy, deputy cou nty audi
tor. Strips of skin an inch or two
long and half as wide were torn from
their arms and applied to the raw sur
face of the boys wound. These strips
were placed some distance apart, and
the skin will grow out from the graft
ed pieces and fill the spaces. Thus the
little boys limb and possibly his life
are saved, through the kindness of
those who were willing to suffer for
his good, althoug h stranger to two of
the party. Had more volunteers been
present, each would have had to have
contributes less.
The little boy is the nine year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John ALL of

BORAX IN BUTTER.
Eight Firms Charged With Selling the
Prohibited Mixture.

st. Paul, Aug. 1.-THE state dairy
and food department made very i'm
portant capture yesterday Of butter
shipped in from Rice Lake, Wis :,
which had been adulterated with
borax. The chemical is an antiseptic
and butter containing it comes under
a special provision of the dairy and
food law of the state as contraband
Eight search warrants were sworn out
in the municipal court by Assistant
Commissioner Dingman, who, with
Officer Dittman, of the municipal
court discovered the suspected goods
and arrested all but one of the eight,
the other being arrested today.
The butter was manufactured at
"Choice Butter, Rice Lake, Wis. "
that it was the product of a private
separator, and one merchant told the
officers that he had discovered the
adulteration before the authorities had
interfered and had written regarding
the fraud to the persons who had fur
nished it, meanwhile slowing his pur-
chase away with the intention of re-
turning or destroying it.
The penalty for having the adulter-
ated product in possession is a fine OF
not less than $25 nor more than 500.
The cases will be brought before
Judge Holt Monday.
1t is not known just how much OF
the adulterated butter was confscated
by the authorities, but that it was
considerable is evident from the fact
that in many cases no less than fifteen
tubs were seized
In St. Paul the commission men
heard of the investigation being made
in this city and up to date no seizures
have been made there.

GETS NO RELIEF.
Building and Loan Association Turned
Down By Board of Equalization.

The county board of equalization
adjourned at noon Saturday, having
completed its labors. Some pieces of
property were added that were not list
ed, and additions and deductions were
made in individual cases. The net
result was to raise the assessed valua-
ton of the county slightly.
No action was taken on the applica-
ton of the Mankato Mutual Building
and Loan association to have it's as
sessed valuation reduced from $50, 500
to 81, 500 or some other figure consid
cred by members of the association to
be reasonable under the circum-
stances. This has the result of deny
ing the application, as the assessment
will now stand, unless reduced by the
state board of equalization, which is
not likely to be done, or taken off by
the courts.
The members of the association do
not feel that they have been fairly
treated, to be assessed so heavily when
other associations in the state get off
with nominal taxation. They look up
on it as discrimination against
home institution that has done much
for the city and county and has been
the means of adding largely to the
taxable property of the city, and thus
lowering the taxation in the county.
1t is likely that the association will
proceed to wind up its affairs or to
reorganize under another law which
would exempt it from any taxation.
The directors will meet next week to
talk the matter over.
While the board of equalization took
no action, the matter was talked over
to some extent this forenoon, and it
became apparent that four of the
members were opposed to giving the
association any relief, while two were
favorable to it.

THE NEW CHARTER
Council Will Consider 1t This
Week.
Board of Trade Committee Presents
Strong Reasons Why 1t Should be
VOt d on Promptly.

The first matter be taken up at the
council meeting Friday night was the
matter of the new clarter. Although
some 1854 suslne ~ say or,GC al. thing
was manifested at first, the council
finally toak action tbas vas favorable
as far as i went.
The board of trade special committee
presented petition bearing 13S names,
asking the council TO call special
election to submit the new charter to
vote of the people.
G. N. Andrews, Thos. Hughes and
NJ B. Haynes, members of the COM
mittee, were present. C. n. Andrews
spoke, urging that special election
be called at an early date, as the
matter is as fresh as it can be in the
minds of the people, and the people
should be getting the benefits of the
new charter as soon as possible. The
council has no supervision over the
work of he charter commission, but
each has its sphere, as we'll as the peo-
pie. The law says that the council
shall forthwith make provisions for
submitting the charter to the people.
The law makes it mandatory that the
charter must be submitted to vote,
but the council has discretion to call
special election or submit it at the
next general election. The only reason
for delay until a general election is the
question of expense or the fact that the
new charter is bad document, to be
delayed as long as possible. The new
charter will save 81. 500 year in city
expen Sc, it is claimed, while special
election would not cost over $500. a
year and half can be gained by hold
ing an early special election.
Mr.. Andrews referred to some of the
advantages of the new charter, which
would be more satisfactory in many
ways than the present charter The
placing of the duty of making special
assessments upon the shoulders of the
council was due to the general law,
and it was done against the Judgment
of the majority of the commission.
The same system now prevails as
would prevail under the new charter.
No stone should be put in the way of
the new charter, for it is not an easy
matter to adopt one. At general
election every vote that is not cast for
the charter counts as vote against it,
although the voter did not vote either
way. Without the petition just pre-
scented, it is doubtful whether the
council has power to call special cleo
tion. 1t is felt that only at special
election would there be any chance for
the new charter to pass The commits,
sion asked for the early publication of
the new charter and the early calling
of special election.
Thos. Hughes said that Mr.. Andrews
had covered the matter so fully that
there was nothing more to be said.
Aid. Heinze said that he had not
seen the new charter, and he favored
holding a special meeting to read it
and talk it over. He would favor a
special election. He moved that
special meeting be held this Friday
night for this purpose, and this was
carried without opposition.
