Representative mudd capltuIated.

On a recent occasion a young lady called at the hall of the house of rep resentatives and, presenting to one of the assistant doorkeepers, card upon which was her name, said: "Please take this to Representative Mudd. :" The doorkeeper did as directed, and MT. Mudd, glancing at the card, mo- ticed that the name was prefixed with Miss. "Tell the young lady," said he, ''that have not single vacant place at my disposal"
 The doorkeeper returned to the young lady and informed her of what Mr. Mudd said.
 "There must be some mistake about this," said the visitor. "Go back and tell him that want to see him person. ally" Again the doorkeeper went into the house, called on Mr. Mudd, and told him what the young lady said, and Mr. Mudd replied: "Tell her am not in the house" Again the doorkeeper performed his mission, and the young woman, who was by this time thor oughly angry, said: "YouN can go and tell my father that his daughter wants to see him." Mr. Mudd, upon receiving this message, hastily secured his hat and took Miss Mudd down to the house restaurant, where he gave her nice lunch and asked her to forget it."- Washington Ta1aes.

shane of the Earth.

The exact shape of the earth is a question which cannot be settled without fresh evidence from the ant arctic. For this purpose two at least of the expeditions have been pro- vided with pendulum outfits: by not- ing the exact length of time occu- pied by the swing of pendulum the distance of the place of observation with the earth's center can be deter mined. It is held that the south pole regions project further from the plane of the equator than does the north pole region; according to one estimate the south pole is slightly more than one-hundredth further from the earth's center than the north pole.--Popular Science Monthly.

It seems now that c few weeks ago an enterprising g American firm, mindful of the great success which has attended the street sales of hot peanuts in the United States, established street oven for Che sale of this delicacy at the junc- tion of Bishopsgate with Shoreditch. The youths of the locality soon showed q decided preference for the crisp peanut. and the single oven venture being a most successful one the firm decided to start other stalls, and in several parts of the East end hot peanuts were dispenseS in large ouantities.-London Express.

How to Invest.

The man who gets the most out of life is the one who is always looking up, who is determined that everything he does, every investment he makes, shall leave him little higher up, a little further on. To learn, therefore, how to spend for the higher faculties instead of the lower, so that the manly qualities, rather than the animal, may be developed, is a problem that con- fronts uS.-Success.

BASEBALL At WIllMAR,
Arrangements Made for Came Here
Next Monday.

Manager Bonde of the Willmar ball
team has just arranged for game to
be played at Athletic Park in this city
next Monday afternoon between the
local club aud Litchfield team. It is to
be hoped that the citizens will favor
the boys with a good turnout, so
that they may be able to at least
defray the expenses of the visiting
team. The management reports loss
at yesterdays game. AS the players
receive nothing for their services, 1t is
only in justice to them that they should
be given the proper encouragement by
good attendance. The game next
Monday will no doubt be a very in
teresting one, and al baseball enthu-
siasts are expected to be on hand.
Willmar has secured three successive
victories in recent games played.
General admission to park, 25 cents.

Miss Christine Olson. The groom is
former resident of the town of Lake
Lillian, where he has been engaged in
farming for number of years.. He is
a widower with large family and has
several married children. His age is
%, but he is as sprightly as young
man in anticipation OF the happy
event. The age of the young lady who
has promised to be his bride is given as
70. Immediately after the ceremony,
which will be performed by Judge
Nordin, at the court house, they will
depart on the afternoon train for Min
neapolis, to spend the honeymoon in
that city. They expect to return to
Willmar about the Goth, and will go
to housekeeping in their new home in
the Sperry addition. Their many
friends will extend to them best wishes
for a happy union.

Yesterdays Court Proceedings

The adjourned session of district
court was held yesterday afternoon,
Judge Qvale presiding. Court con.
vened at O'Clock for the purpose oil
hearing arguments on motion for a
new trial in the case of State of Min.
nesota vs.. Frank Anderson, which
was tried last January and resulted
in his conviction. This motion was
made for the purpose Of avoiding the
penalty, which was fine of 500 and
commitment to jail for 30 days, but
on account of the failure of the de-
fendant to give proper notice, the
matter could not be considered. The
Judge ordered that sentence be forth
with executed. Anderson had been
under $500 bond for appearance at the
June term of court. Attorney J. T.
Byrnes of Litchfeld appeared on be-
half of defendant.
The matter of an injunction restrain
ing the school board of district sc
from erecting new schoolhouse was
brought up, but as sufficient notice
had not been given the board the mo.
tion could not be entertained. The
motion will probably come up again
as soon as the required notice has
been given.

ROBBED OF HIS ROLL.
Kennedy Farmer En- Route From Cities

Kennedy Farmer En- Route From Cite.
Parts With $3.50.
A little excitement was caused last
Friday at the depot by the reported
loss of sum of money by farmer
who claimed to be from Kennedy,
MINI. His name was given as Engel-
berg and he was among the arrivals
on No. IL. Mr.. :Engelberg discovered
his loss when he reached here and
reported the same to Agent Sanford.
1t seems that there had been q couple
OF plck-pockets on board the train, for
another loss was also reported by a
German farmer en- route to Milaca.
He lost a pocket book containing $50
and three railroad tickets. In the
party were his wife and another lady
Marshal Engelstad was notified later
on and d search for suspicious
characters made, but nothing resulted
from the investigation.
Engelberg was not positive as to
when the theft occurred, for he did not
discover the loss of the $3.50 until he
aighted from the train. When he
was on the platform, a couple of sus-
picious characters were seen, but they
were soon lost to sight in the crowd.
There are other reports of thefts
committed recently, all of a minor
nature. J. M. Goar reported the loss
of a fob from a watch during Sun
days excursion, All these reports
Indicate that there are light-fngered

Lawless Youngsters.

A number of depredations have been
committed by small boys at Eagle
Lake and cottage owners have made
complaint to that effect. 1t became so
intolerable that finally I. G. Olson
was obliged to swear out complaint
last Friday before Judge Bitterness.
The complaint charged couple of
young fellows with the destruction of
personal property on his premises at
the lake. The boys appeared before
his honor and after being severely rep
rimanded for their misdeeds, were dis
missed. 1t is to be hoped that the
lesson will be needed by not only these
boys, but by others who are causing
mischief by their pranks.

Murder Trial at litchfieId Results In

for Murder Of Mrs. Corton.

Murder Trial at litehfieId Results In
Verdict Of not guilty-Re-srrested
for Murder Of Mrs. corton.
The following extract from the &C.
count of the murder trial of Frank
Addy is taken from yesterdays Litch-
field independents:
The Addy case continued last week, and was
given to the jury Thursday evening" After de-
hberating for more than "A hours the jury at 9
O'Clock Friday evening brought in a verdict of
acquittal. The Indictment on which the &C.
cused was tried was for the murder of Milton
Gorden and on the conclusion OF the trial and
announcement of the verdict second warrent
was served and he was re-arrested for the
murder OF Mrs. Gorton. He was taken to jail
again.
The taking of testimony in the case occupied
the time of the court from Monday afternoon
to Thursday forenoon. The arguments of at
torney Byrnes for the defense and Foster for
the state occupied the balance Of Thursday,
and the case was given to the jury that even
ing and the verdict of the jury followed "a
hours later, as above stated.
The trial OF the second case was set for the
regular December term of court and in the
meanwhile Frank Addy will languish in jail
A new DEVELOPMENT in the case is the arrest
OF Phillip Addy. He was found in Idaho, and
is now on his way here for hearing. There is
rumor that Fred Rutland is also wanted,
but this report cannot be traced to any reliable
source, From indications Comfy Attorney
Foster must have some cards up his sleeve
that he will produce at the proper time. 1t
would otherwise seem idle to try Frank Addy
second time for practically the same offence
and on the same testimony. The expense to
the county is big item.

Marauders at Work

Parties broke into the Office of the
Times at New London last Sunday
night and did damage to the printing
material in the same. The most SER
ious loss was the breaking of job
press. 1t is generally believed that
the depredations were the result of the
stand the Times editor has taken for
the enforcement of the liquor laws.
Public sentiment will hardly be secured
in favor of an "open" town by such
lawless acts, however. While Mr..
Lawson takes his loss philosophically
he will probably use the clues that he
possesses in experimenting the mis-
chief makers.
