ST. PAUL'S CELEBRATION.

The Fourth of July celebration held
under the auspices of ST. Paul's par
ish, at the beautiful residence grounds
of Nick Minnette, four miles north of
the city, was we'll attended and was
complete financial success. The
threatening aspect of the weather, with
an occasional dash of rain kept hun
dreds of people at home who expected
to attend. All during the day the
sport was fast and furious. There was
dancing, ten pins, bail playing, foot
races, bicycle races and otter kindred
! games. ...r...
Two fine meals were served-dinner
and supper, and nothing was left un-
done to make the occasion pleasant.
FIR. Artz was ubiquitous. He was ev-
erywhere all the time, looking after the
details. Buses were on the road all
day carrying passengers back and
fourth. Not until midnight did the
festivities close with the last dance on
the program. .,a

Forfeited Tax Law.

County Auditor Gruber has received
from the state auditor, says the Jour-
nal Press, a circular of Instructions in
regard to the procedure to obtain in
regard to the refundment of amounts
received in payment for lands sold un-
der the forfeited tax sale of last year.
The supreme court holds the law UNI
constitutional, and in Ramsey coun-
ty case the supreme court held that
county auditors must accept the
amount paid unoer the sale ut which
the lands were sold. In many cases
the lands were sold for one-half of the
amount delinquent and the state audi
tor says that the auditors must accept
this amount II offered in redemption.

man Of rather powerful physique, al

full employe He was subject to fits
akin to epilepsy, and as they grew in
frequency his mind became weakened,
and about five years ago he WAS com
mitted to the Fergus Falls hospital for
the insane. Under treatment his dis,
ease was somewhat mitigated and Il
year later he was paroled. Later he
became worse again, aud Las recon-
mitted to the asylum. His inirmity
increased, and he has been not onl.
moody, but at times violent. On Fri
day morning hist, while at work clean

Mcintyre became excited and in his
frenzy struck Cosgrove with a heavy
scrubbing brush across the back OF t. g

not realize that he has done any harm.

Farmers Elevator Meeting.

The adjourned annual meeting of
the Farmers Elevator company was
held on Saturday afternoon last. W.
S. Dean presiding, and Chas. F. Hen
dryx acting as secretary.
The committee appointed to investi-
I gate the books and accounts of the as
ISOLATION for the past year, consisting
of M. F. Woodbury., T.. J. Flahaven
and s. P. Hansen, presented an ex-
haustive and carefully prepared re-
port, the result of a week of hard, con-
scientious labor. with the assistance
of Prof. G. A. Stanton and Stanley
Dickinson. The books and accounts
were found to be correct. The report
showed the aumber of bushels of grain
handled during the year by grade
purchases and sales-and showed that
the grades did not hold out Last
years crop was hard one to handle,
and dened the judgment of the local
purchaser. Wheat purchased for No.
would be graded by the state as No.
or lower, and No. 2 purchases pro-
portionately lower. AS a result there
was very material loss. Wheat
bought on option also showed losses.
The report of the committee advised
that the option dealings be ignored by
the association. There was a vast
amount of discussion of the affairs of
the association, and motions of vari-
Gus kinds were made, modified, amend
ed and rejected. The only ones of inn
portance passed were that the mana
ger be requested to take care of the
option dealings; and that the directors
make arrangements to continue the
elevator business and assess the Stock
holders to pay the Legitimate debts of
the association. ..-

He has lived in Alexandria the past
three years, having left his fine farm
in charge of his son John, but he de-
voted good deal of his time to farm
work. Friday morning, while nearly
all the household were out milking,
he went to his room and got an old
Colts revolver that he had brought
home from the war. Near the house
is a large tree where he sat down,
placed the muzzle OF the weapon to his
left ear, the ball passing through his
head. He was found by his daughter.
Mr.. Urness had a good farm with good
buildings and well stocked, alse had a
house in the village and most excel
lent family. The only cause to assign
for the rash act is that he was temper

John Hoppe vs. John A. Dowie.

John Hoppe, who declares that he is
no less parsonage than John the
Baptist the Second, is in town today
and announces that he will 60 at once
to Chicago and confront a man who is
posing before the country as John the
Baptist III, and denounce him as an
imposter. Hoppe is an eccentric char
acter, living at Albany, this county,
and he was in the John the Baptist
business when John Alexander DOwie,
the last claimant TO the title, was in
swaddling clothes. The Stearns coun-
.ty evangelist claims that he is proving
his right to the title by preaching In
The wilderness and converting more
people than all the preachers com
bined. He asks no aims or fees, but
he would like a half-fare permit that
he might make his fir qGent trips to the
centres of population more cheaply.
He applied at the court house this
morning and presented Il statement
signed by the judges and officers Of
the municipal court ofSt, Paul, stat
ing that in their opinion he was enti-
tied to half rate or in fact any old
rate that would get him out of town.
He wanted similar endorsement from
the district court of this county and
needless to say it'was given him. At
one of the banks Hoppe borrowed $50
