TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
A Farmer Charged with Selling Mort
gagged Property Hanged Him.
self in His Cell.

M. L. Stanfield, formerly promi-
nent farmer living near Ayrshire, in
Palo Alto county, committed suicide
in the county Jail at Emmetsburg by
hanging himself with electric wire.
The wire was attached to light in
the cell in which Stanfeld was pris-
oner. Stantield was man about so
years old and leaves wife and eight
children. He was arrested several
days ago charged with disposing of
mortgaged property. AT his prelimi-
nary hearing he was bound over to the
grand jury and the evidence was such
that the matter of proving his inno-
cence seemed hopeless. With the
penitentiary staring him in the face,
death seemed preferable to the dis
honor threatened and he ended his
life in this tragic manner. Stantield
quarreled with his wife about two
weeks ago, and stole and sold much Of
her property. They had since sepa-
rated.

DUTIES OF CLERKS.
Judge Prouty Renders an Opinion
Relating to OutlavinE of Judg-
ments and Renewals

Judge Prouty rendered an opinion
in Des Moines with reference to the
duties of clerks of courts under the
new statutes relating to the outlaw
ing of judgments and their renewals.
AT the last session of the legislature
the laws relating to the renewal of
judgments We're amended and since
that time there has been more or less
division of opinion as to whether or
not executions should issue on judg-
ments 90 years old. Under the old
statute a judgment unless renewed
within 20 years became void. The les gus
lature, according to the opinion rem
dered by Judge Prouty, intended that
all judgments entered after the adopt
ion of the code of 1873 should remain
in force without renewals for 90 years
and provides that they must be re-
newed before July 4, 1904. by the usual
process or become outlawed on that
date

ITO Be Continued
IRISH ABsURD1T1Es.
Simplicity of Country Folk of
the Emerald Isle.

Here are few samples of the alb
surdities arising out of the extreme
simplicity of some Irish folk, says
the London Spectator. A young man
came to confess to an Irish priest in
London whose experiences of the hui
mors of his fellow countrymen would
fill book. "Well, my man." said
the priest, "and how do you earn your
living?" "I'm an acrowbat, your river
ence." The priest was nonplussed.
CPL show you what / mean in a brace
of shakes," said the ,penitent, and in
. moment was turning himself inside
out in the most approved acrobatic
fashion in and out of the pews. An
old woman who had followed him to
confession looked on Mortified. "When
it comes. to my turn, father" she
gasped, "for the love of God don't
put penance on me like that; it 'ud
be the death of mel" 1 think it was
the same good father, who, observing
that regular attendance at a Lent
mission had done nothing to reform
one of his pensioners, told him so,
and asked him the reason of it. "Ah!
father" he replied, 81 can manage
the faith right enough, but the morals
bate me-" On another occasion this
priest was called upon to marry a
man of whom he knew nothing to a
girl of his congregation. On investi-
CATION he found the would-be bride
groom's knowledge of the Catholic
faith very limited. "Have you ever
been baptized?" he asked. "Wen,
father, 1 can't trust my memory to

"The mother isl Lets have her
address," This was given, and tele-
gram dispatched to the old lady on
the spot, reply paid. The answer
came in due course: "Vaccinated, but
not baptized."

"SHOCKED" HIS CORN.
A Farmer Near Mnrshalltown Uses
Electricity to Kill Microbes and
Results Are Remarkable.

A new thing in growing corn was at
tempted by w. S. Stacy, a farmer re-
siding near Marshalltown, with what
he asserts are remarkable results.
The corn was planted May II, after
having been treated to course of
electricity in the electric light plant
at this place. Mr.. Stacy filled barrel
with corn and water, placing piece
of zinc at the bottom and one on top.
Five hundred volts of electricity was
then turned on and continued for
20 minutes. The corn was then thor
oughly dried and ten acres planted
with drill. The corn averaged eight
feet in height, and Mr.. Stacy says the
yield will not be less than 70 bushels
to the acre. His theory is that all
microbes are killed by the electric
treatment and the germ is not injured

THE BAPTISM OF BELLS.
A Religious Ceremony of the Roman
Church That Dates Back Many
Centuries.

Bells were solemnly baptized like
children-a custom which is still ex.
tant in the Roman church. This is
probably not primitive practice.
and cannot be traced further back
than the reign of Charlemagne, says
the Gentleman's Magazine. 1t is first
distinctly mentioned in the time Of
Pope John XIII. (9sS), when he gave
his own name to the great bell of the
Lateran church. Sleidan gives an ac-
count of the ceremonial to be OBJ
served. First of all, the bells must
be SO hung that the Bishop may be
able to walk round them. When he
has chanted a few psalms in low
voice, he mingles water and salt, and
consecrates them, diligently spring
ling the bell with the mixture, both
inside and out. Then he wipes it
clean, and with holy oil describes on
it the figure of the cross, praying
the while that when the bell is
swung up and sounded, faith and
charity may abound among men; all
the snares of the devil-hail, light

dered vain, and all unreasonable

wiped off that cross of oil from the
rim, he forms seven other crosses on
it, but only one of them within. The
bell is censed, more psalms are to be
sung, and prayers put up for it's well

ings are celebrated, just as at we'd

10000 PEOPLE In TOWN.
An Immense Crowd of People Visit Red
wood Falls on July Fourth
Big Show.
From Early Morning Until Late the Crowd
Was Continually Entertained
by Citizens.

Redwood Falls last Friday again
demonstrated her ability to care for
guests, when from eight to ten thous
and people from the country and sur
rounding towns were entertained
from early morning until a sudden
storm put stop to the festivities
shortly before eight o'clock in the
evening.
Everything was carried on in a
most stupeuduous manner. The
various committees, following out
the motto of two years ago, to ad-
vertisc nothing but what would
really occur, contracted for every
thing before the advertising matter
was sent out, and hence the appear
ance of one Of the most successful of
free circus street aggregations that
has ever been taken from travelling
troupes-not from a single troupe,
but from cOlOred miustrels, from
circuseS, from carnivals, aud from
the like, and it was 20 wonder that
when the storm put an end to the
show very near at its end, anyway,
that our guests declared that every
thing advertised had taken place.
and that if people couldn't be enter
tanned in Redwood Falls they could
not be entertained anywhere
We had more than advertised. On
both July Sd and 4th ball games,
stellar attraction in that line, were
pulled of, and people who desired
to witness those games, in prefer
ence to those going on in the streets
were at liberty to do so. Still furth-
