1t is hard to conceive of anything
more tragic than an incident in Phila-
delphia the other day Walter Bell,
the last survivor of the thirty-one men
who formed the Last Man club" forty
six years ago, sat down at table ar
ranged for thirty-One guests. He was
the only one present, all the others
having crossed the dark river. And the
incident was not without its humorous
suggestion, either. Bell toasted each
one of the thirty dead friends in sue
cession, and it is easy to imagine that
by the time he reached the thirtieth
he didn't care much whether they were
deceased OF not.

The Times Was Off.

Minneapolis Journal: Herman
Hillmond of Elbow Lake was in St.
Paul yesterday, and for the first time
since his reported conversion to re-
publicanism, he spoke of his present
political views. They have been much
in dispute lately.
Mr.. Hillmond says he is still a
populist, and explains the report of
conversion as follows:
"In conversion with some of my re-
publican friends [ expressed my
admiration for the stand Governor
Van SAINT took on the merger
question, and said the republican
party ought to renominate him. [
also said that in common with all
other good Americans [ could not
help admiriDg some Of the doings of
President Roosevelt. The boys made
more out of that than l meant to say,
and since then they have been after
ne to run for the legislature as a re-
publican. [ can't do that I am
populist, and as long as the populist
party holds together I willI stay with
it. If it should go to pieces, don't
know where would go. | think the
republican party, or some CT it's
leaders anyway, have adopted some
of the ideas of the populists, and I
am glad to see that, but I still believe
that the interests of the farming
community are better represented by
the populist party than by the re-
publicans. [ don't indorse the Van

A NEW CORPORATION.
Fowler Electric Organized with a
Capital of $4,000.

On July |, new corporation will
go into effect which will be known as
the Fowler Elect ic c.. The articles
OF incorporation have already been
drawn up, and on the above the date
the electric light system will start
out under the new management. The
names of the i"corporators are as
follows: W. P. Fowler, W. L..
Colyer, J. R. Fowler, ]. A. Johnson,
W. F. Cooley, and Anton Watzke.
The officers are W. P. Fowler,
president; Anton Watzke, vice pres
ident; w F. Cooley, treasurer; J. R.
Fowler, secretary. Directors: W. P
Fowler, J. r Fowler, W. L. Colyer,
W. F. Cooley and Anton Watzke.
The company is organized with
capital stock of $4,000 divided into
shares of $50 each, and subscriptions
will be solicited on the above plan.
After the stock has all been sub
scribed, and the plant here has been
placed in proper condition, the
company will probably branch out
and operate plants of various sorts at
other points, for the articles of in
corporation authorize them to en-
gage in the construction, installing,
leasing, selling and operating, cleo
trio, power and heating plants and
any other ma lufacturing industry in
any part o; the state.
Work of rebuilding the local plant
will commence soon, and a brick
structure will replace the old one.
The new corporation promises to
be paying investment for the in
corporators, and a good thing for the
town.

Not a Matter of Economy.

A good story is going the rounds
that a man who chewed twenty cent
worth of tobacco a week concluded to
try tobacco cure. In two weeks he
ate up $1.5O worth Of the cure and
for the next two weeks he used ten
cents worth of candy, five cents woltn
of peanuts and five cents worth Of
cough drops per day. During the
same time, he also consumed two
large rubber erasers, ate the rubber
tips from fourteen lead pencils,
chewed up g. dozen penholders and
browsed off the end of his mu5t"ch
up as far as be could reach. NoN>
the story concludes, he is chewing
tobacco again as matter of economy.

|CHOKZO'S CARNIVAL
A DAY OF RECREATION AND
SPORTS.

r1orris Represented by Large Del
egation-- morris Teams Take the
Money.
Morris was nearly deserted Mon
day, as result of the field meet at
Chokio. Of those who remained here,
there we're just five printers and
twenty-three land men. The land
men we're busy, and the printers were
financially embarrassed or they too
would have joined the vast throng
that honored that busy metropolis of
Chokio with their presence.
The committee had everything
nicely arranged for the visitors and
endeavored to make things interest
ing. Morris entered largely into the
sports and succeeded in getting
away with most of the honors.
The days sport opened with ball
game between Morris and Graceville,
which was probably the leading feat
ure of the days program. The Nor
ris nine was a little weak on account
of number of their players being
away, while the Graceviiie boys were
there in full force and then some
mo1e. Nevertheless, it YVES a good
game from start to finish and the
Morris boys did some good work
regardless of the odds against thom,
Graceyille had two natural born kick
ers, who succeeded in making things
very disagreeable for the players
at times but after D. d. Pearce, the
umpire, told them to ''get off the car
pet" and let some one play that
knew how to be sociable, they felt
better, and the game went along
smoothly. The batteries we're Brown
and Gillespie for Morris; Valance
Hewitt and Cox for Graceville. Fol
lowing is the score by innings:
Graceville 2 2 3 1000 Ito
Morris .....2 0 l 4 4 0 0 0 XII
Morris woa the game in the fourth
and fifth innings, when they pounded
the Graceville pitcher all over the
field and ran in eight scores. Thos.
Larkin of the Morris team spralned
his ankle while running base IN
the fourth inning and had to be car
ried from the grounds, Henry Jones
was substituted.
The Morris gun club was success
full in the contest with ChokiO and
Herman, the score resulting as fol-
lows: Morris 1874, Herman 129, Che
kio 80. There were several sweep
stakes proceeding the regular contest
but we were unable to procure the
detailed score.
The bowling contest in the evening
resulted as follows;
