high old time, and fellow occupant

place and the victim, as far as we can

to the progress made in the arrange

the committees we are not prepared

confer with the council as tothe streets

the public meeting held Thursday de-

DOGS KILL THE FLocks.
Ours Have Held High Carnival Among
the Sheep on Fahlun Farms.

A couple or more of mischievous
ours have been source of much dam.
age to f1ocks of sheep in the townships
OF Fahlun and Whitefeld this sum-
mer. They would make periodical
raids and wantonly kill numbers in
each flock they encountered. In such
manner John Lindblad has had 10
sheep killed, E. A. Lundgren, 4 killed
and injured; Gust Williams, 9 killed
and two injured; Louis Norling, 10
killed; Erick Knutson, 2 killed; A. o.
Nelson, sheep, and several pigs were
killed and injured; S. M. Swenson,
several killed and injured. For some
time it was thought that the havoc was
perpetrated by wolves, although none
have been seen IN that neighborhood.
When the last visitation was made to
John Lindblad's flock, he heard the
disturbance and hurried to the scene,
and made sure that the vicious brutes
that killed the sheep were two dogs.
One was a large black bulldog and his
companion was a black mongrel with
yellow spots above the eyes. Mr..
Lindblad managed to follow the dogs
on horseback and traced them to their
respective homes. The over of the
bulldog shot him at once. The mong-
rel had no one who claimed him, but
has been hanging about the place he
stayed at for some time. There is a
new state law which provides compen-
sation to the stockraiser who suffers
loss from depredations, of dogs, but
none of these parties are able to avail
themselves of this, as the supervisors
OF the town must be notified within
two days after the damage is done,
and this was not done. Every gun in
that vicinity has been loaded with
buck shot and many late vigil has
been suffered in the hope OF securing
q shot at the depredating brutes, but
unsuccessfully, as they seemed to
know when to come and when to STAY
away.

J. Pofferl, boilermaker helper en-
ployed at the Great Northern round
house here, was assaulted in the yards
last S Saturday night by some hoboes.
Mr.. Pofferl was on his way to the
round house when ore of the men &C.
costed him and asked for q match.
Pofferl replied that he had none, when
the fellow became saucy and INDUCED
in abusive language. He was told to
go about his business, when two other
fellows came to the .assittan of the
first party and pounced upon Mr.. Pof-
ferl. The victim of the assault finally
got away, feeling little the worse for
the encounter. If their motive was to
hold up Mr.. Pofferl they certainly did
not receive much for their trouble. >:

T. asst Wednesday morning q terrible
accident occurred at Kandiyohi sta
tion, in which the victim was A. o.
Ahlin, 9 young man about: IS years of
age. Mr.. Ahlin was hauling q load
sof milk to the creamery and in attem pt-
ing to cross the railroad track failed
to see an approaching freight train
which was bound for Willmar. When
he noticed the train he made q desper-
ate attempt to cross ahead of it. but
the horses SHE'D just, as the wagon got
on the track. The momentary delay
was fatal. The engine struck the wag-
on, hurling ,Ahlin q distance of about
100 feet and fracturing his skull. When
he was picked up life was extinct. The
wagon was smashed into kindling
wood, one wheel being all that was
left of it. The horses Jared better than
the driver and wagon, as they had
crossed sufficiently to escape with only
3 few slight bruises. -.
The young man was in. the employ
of Alfred Blomquist, a farmer. He
was nephew of the Blomquist BROTH
ers-John, Alfred and Charles, all of
whom live in the vicinity of Kandiyohi.
He had been in this country some over
a year, coming here in the spring of
1900. He leaves an aged father in
Sweden.
The funeral took place last Friday
afternoon from the Swedish Lutheran
Tripolis church, and the last sad rites
were performed by Rev. S. A.. Lind

MATCHES EGGS IN WATER.
Prof. 4. l.. Matthew'S Conducts Some
Interesting Experiments at
woodstock, Mass. W

Original and highly interesting in
veStigations have been carried on this
summer at Woodstock, Mass, where
several University of Chicago profess
sors have been working. Last year
Prof. Loeb discovered that he could
hatch out unfertilized eggs of several
different sea creatures by increasing
he osmotic pressure of sea water. thus
depriring the eggs of part of the
water which they contained Now
Prof. Albert p. Mathews comes out
with an article in which he discusses
his Investigations of the last summer
with the same end in view which Dr.
Loeb had, but with different process.
Artificial parthogenesis produced
by mechanical agitation" is the hypo-
thesis upon which Prof. Mathews
worked this summer. and he now states
that he can hatch the living animal
from the unfertilized egg by simply
shaking the egg in test tube filled
with sea water. The eggs of starfish
were used IN the experiments.
.Jusl Where these experiments will
end the scientist does not attempt to
say, because this field is one OF the
newest in the department of physiol-
ogy. and many animals must be sub
jected for experiments before the

The opinion of Charles L. Yerkes re-

must be taken in hand by Americans

will be laid down under enormous cap
italization and wasteful methods. A
mass of tables issued by the govern

Of all proportion with the increase in
receipts. Of the total paid up capital
of $1,176,000,000, 16 per cent, or $751;
100000, is due to nominal additions on
consideration, conversion and division
of stock. The average rate of divi-
dend is only 3.45 per cent, as against
1857 per cent. in 1899. 1t is the realiza-
ton Of these shortcomings which has
