THE FARMERS ELEVATOR.
twill be Sold to Pay the Exist
ing Indebtedness.

On Saturday afternoon last spe
cial meeting of the Farmers Elevator
company was held persuant to cal
for the purpose OF adjusting the in
debtedness, which amounts to about
81, 500. The attendance was fair,
twenty-eight stockholders being pres
ent. After spirited discussion 10.
seph Parker moved that the board
OF directors be empowered to sell the
elevator, providing it can be sold for
not less than $4,000, and apply the pro-
ceeds to the payment of the legal in.
debtedness of the corporation. This
motion received twenty-five affirma.
tive votes, six not voting. 1t required
a two-thirds vote to dispose of the
property, and it was carried.
A. 81. Hendrickson moved that the
directors be instructed to assess the
shareholders for a sum sufficient to pay
whatever balance of Indebtedness may
remain after applying the proceeds oil
the sale to the payment of the debts,
and it was carried.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call of the president.

A Sad Catastrophe.

The announcement of the death by
drowning of Miss Lucille Brown of
Alexandria, on Sunday last, was
shock to this community. Miss
Brown had a large circle of acquaint-
ances among young people with whom
she was great favorite, and keen
sympathy is felt for her parents who
have large acquaintance in this city.
The HERALD is indebted to the Jour-
nal Press for the following account of
the sad event.
Alexandria is the scene of great sor-
row over the death by drowning on
Sunday of one of the most popular
young ladies of that city-Miss Lucille,
aged 10 years, daughter of Hon. L. J.
Brown, we'll known throughout the
northwest.
Miss Brown, with a younger brother
and daughters of Col. Ward and N.
P. Ward, went in bathing in lake De
Homme Dieu, at Government Point,
where Col. Ward has a summer
home. The lake is quite shallow for a
considerable distance, along a sand
bar, and then sudddnly drops into deep
water. The bathers were familiar
with this fact, but possible lost their
bearings by reason OF the strong wind
blowing at the time. and all tour were
suddenly emerged in the deep water.
Help was close at hand, and the two
Ward girls and the young Brown boy
were rescued. Miss Lucille, however.
sank out of sight, and the high waves
made it difficult to locate the body
Several young men, good swimmers,
made desperate efforts to locate the
young lady but it was twenty or
twenty-five minutes before her BODY
was found and removed from the water.
Five doctors were at the lake, and all
possible means were used to restore
her life, but all in vain.
The terrible accident was witnessed
by two sisters of the deceased, and
their shock, and grief was 20 great that
both are Frustrated to-day, and one is
threatened with brain fever.

Fish Killed by the wholesale.

Thousand OF dead fish hOated onto
the southeast shore of Lake Minnewas-
ka last Friday and Saturday, and on
Saturday afternoon the board of health
found it necessary to have them bur-
led. The commonly accepted theory is
that they persisted on account OF the
heat, but it is little remarkable that
no bass or pike were to be seen among
the dead fish. AL being of what might
be called inferior varieties-p ickerel,
bullheads, suckers and perch. IF it is
not the heat. then someone is slaugh-
tering fish by the wholesale, picking
up the bass and pike and leaving the
others in the water. We hope that no
such dastardly work is being done and
that in cleaning out the poorer varie-
ties OF fish the heat is doing good SER
vice for the angler.-Glenwood Press.
II the heat is responsible for the
deaths all other lakes under like con-
ditions would have>been similarly at
fected, but there are no complaints
elsewhere. 1t looks like "dastardly
work.

DOBBS-In Minneapolis, ON Satur-
day, July q. 1901, John G.. Dobbs,
aged 80 years.
Esquire Dobbs, as he was Familiarity
known by his large circle of friends
and acquaintance in this vicinity, was
a man of striking personality, a good
citizen, of rare intelligence, quaint in
thought aud speech-and possessed of a
rich fund of dry humor which found
frequent expression. He was respect
ed and esteemed by all who knew him,
and his inexhaustible fund of early
"reminiscences, told in his own droll
way, made him an interesting com
panion. He had remarkable memo
ry, strong convictions and originality
in reaching conclusions. The follow.
ing sketch of him, contributed by a
lifelong friend, will be read with in
terest:
John Coleman Dobbs was born on
June II, 1921, at Dobbs' Ferry, ON the
Hudson flyer, New York. He was the
oldest of eight children, seven sons
and one daughter, and is survived by
one brother, tine youngest of the family,
George Fl. Dobbs of FishkiIl Landing,
N. Y. He received a common school
education and spent the years of his
early manhood as clerk in the viii
lage of Monticello, N. Y, and was af-
terward engaged as timekeeper for
Keystard's tannery, one of the largest
in that vicinity. H. was married on
August q, 1857, to Catherine Duncan,
eldest daughter of the late James Dun
can, at Forestburg, N. Y. She sur
wives him OF this union thirteen
children were born, nine of whom re-
main to mourn their loss: E. E. Dobbs,
James Duncan Dobbs, Mary L. and
Chester c., live In Minneapolis; Kate
of Spokane, Wash; John A. of Medi-
cal Lake: Ra' phi Fl. of Seattle; w. E..
and George I. of Sank Centre.
He came to Minnesota in 1864, stop
ping for time at Hastings. where he
bought IL team and camping outfit, and
driving through to Sank Centre then
a garrisoned military post for the
protection of the settlers from savage
Indians. Here he took a homestead
on the Silver creek and broke q few
acres of land, built a sod house, and
moved his family there in 1865; he lived
on his farm until 1893, during which
time he held many local town and
school Offices. BY reason of being JUS
tice of the peace for number of years
he was generally known as esquire
Dobbs." He also held the office of
postmaster at West Union for four
years, driving from his farm to the
office daily. Retiring from all bust
ness in '93, he bought residence in
Sank Centre where he lived until two
years ago. Since then he has made
his home with his sons in Minneapolis,
where he died of old age on Saturday,
July 9th, in his eighty-first year. He
passed away peacefully as he had
lived, surrounded by many friends
and neighbors. His remains were
brought to Sank Centre. his old home,
and laid at rest in the family lot in
Oakland cemetery.

A Farmers Strange Experience.

A farmers Strange Experience.
/ While driving in on the Round
Prairie road on Monday evening when
just north of Lake Charlotte, c. w.
Woodruff saw what appeared to be q
wagon some hundred rods ahead. He
saw quite vofumn of smoke issuing
from the supposed wagon and conclud-
ed there must be an engine behind it.
When he drove up he saw the driver
hustliEg about to get some things out
of the wagon box. The load comprised
a binder, bundle of twine and lot
of groceries. The hay in the box was
burning and threatened to destroy the
whole load together with the wagon.
MIR. Woodruff urged the man to hurry
TO one of the houses where water could
be procured and by doing this the fire
was quenched and the property saved
with out comparatively little damage.
The owner proved to be Mr.. Rasmus-
sen who lives near the long bridge in
Little Sank. He had been to Long
Prairie and was taking home a binder
and supplies. In lighting his pipe he
had dropped the match. into the dry
hay and before he was aware Of the
fact quite fire had developed in the
load behind him. When he discovered
that his wagon was on fire he was
about half way between the two houses
on the west side of the road just north
of the lake.-Long Prairie Argus.

John the Baptist, Second.
He Is Hot on the Trail of John
Alexander DOWie.

Most of our people are familiar with
John Hoop, who has been in Sank
Centre several times, claiming to be
John the Baptist, Ii. His trip to Chi
Gag some time since was mentioned in
the HERALD. A special dispatch to
the Pioneer Press from that city On
Saturday last says:
Jol n Hoop of Albany, Mimi, who
says he Is u relncarnatIon of John the
Baptist, has challenged John Alexan
dec Dowie, as ''Elijah the Second" to
a joint debate. The conditions are
that Dowie must prove he comes hon.
estly oy his title of Elijah or leave the
worded as follows:
''To the good pc ople of the city of
Chicago: Let it be known that l, John
the Baptist the Second, do hereby in
wife and challenge one JOhu Alexander
Dowie TO al open debate in front OF
the court house, Saturday at 2 O'Clock
sharp, at which time and place we will
both open our Bibles, and from the
word of God will show him to be an
impostor, having no claim to the title
OF Elijah the Second, but simply a
substitute for man. If he does not
accept this challenge, he should be
drummed out of town. Let every body
come to the exposure of Dowie, and
they can hear from me that Dowie
does not know the difference between
80 cents and cigar butt"
Hoop has already spent week in
Chicago trying to convince the follow
ers of Dowie that their leader is an
impostor, but has met with small sue
cess. SO far from being discouraged
he now regards the challenge he has
just issued as one which Dowie cannot
refuse without losing caste among his
supporters, and being forced ultimate
~ to resign his position as the head of
Zion.
''Dowie may think he is the reincar-
nation of Elijah" said Hoop today,
