from the cities center that no alarm
was given, The house was occupied
by C. F. Lockhead. who succeeded in
saving little beyond the wearing
apparel of himself and wife. 1t caught
evidently from the chimney-a defec-
tive hue. The house was worth about

hearty cooperation of the farmers in

An HonOred Name Missing.
u. M. Tobey & Brother Have
Sold Their Business to
L. S. Bishop Co.

During the past week there has been
stricken from the business rolls OF
Sank Centre name which has stood
for all that was honorable in business
methods for more than quarter of a
centuy-that of U. M. sTobey &
Brother. In 1876 U. M. Tobey estab-
iished grocery and feed store in this
city, in the building in which it has
been ever since conducted, and soon
after associated with him his brother
Clinton c., and they worked together
as one man until the death of u. M.
Tobey, which occurred about year
and half ago, since which
time his brother has conducted the
business under the old firm name.
The firm has engaged the fullest con-
fidence OF the community, and was
widely known. 1t was the first BUSH
ness house in the city to establish free
delivery of goods purchased to it's
customers and at the time it was
looked upon as avery notable stroke
OF enterprise.
The Z. s. Bishop CO. has purchased
the stock, and Mr.. Tobey, will for
the present, enjoy well-earned season
of rest. The stock will remain where
it is for the present, and the business
will be continued there. Mr.. Tobey
Is
will settle up the business as soon as
possible, and for that purpose will re-
tain an Office in the store.

A Warning.

A lady of pleasing address and pre-
possessing appearance is now canvass
ing the state professedly for homeless
Shildren. She sometimes says she will
| send contribufors a monthly paper
about the work.
Many of the friends of the Children Is
Home Society of Minnesota ha re given
money to her under theimpression that
they were giving to the work of that
well known society that has been pro-
lviding for such children for over
twelve years past to the number OF
more than ITO.
But inquiry shows that she does not
represent the Minnesota Society at all,
but a Chicago Society called the Amer
lean Home Finding Association, that
does not provide for Minnesota chill
dren and under the laws of this state
has olegal right to bring children
into the state.
When she has given receipts they
are from that society or for the paper
sour Homes and Our Homeless, .
published by that society and the name
usually signed is Ormstead. She has
been in the state on similar mission
before.
/ All persons who desire to give
money to the work of ourtown society
i should make sure that the person tc
whom they give is authorized to repre-.
sent the Minnesota Society. All such
representatives are fully supplied with
credentials to prove it.
Be sure that you know to whom you
are giving.

prints the following relative to James
Hogan, father of MayoI Hogan, which
will be read with interest by patrons
of the HERALD:
| The death of James Hogan Esq, j..
| p, which occurred at his home on
Friday evening, It'll inst, removes one
of the old landmarks from the village.
| The deceased was in his 87th year, be-
| ing born in County Tipperary, Ireland,
in 1915. When seven years old he, to-
gether wife his parents, three BROTH
ers and one sister left Ireland for
America on the sailing ship "San
Domine o, y which was stranded at
East Point and the passengers waded
ashore. They wendell bheir way along
settled, Although go young at the
time, Mr.. Hogan had a vivid remem-
brance of the kindness and hospitality
of the good old Scotch settlers at thai
time and often spoke in loving remem-
brance OF these good people. Years
afterward he went abroad to seek his
fortune and spent some time in the
lumber woods of New Brunswick and
Maine. When the gold fever broke
outin California in 1S49, he sailed
around the Horn in the ship Charles
Cooper. t" After four years in the
vicinity Of Sacramento, he got tired
of the place, owing to the settlers be-
ing principally Adventures and out
laws of all grades, drinking, gambling
and murder being very prevalent.
Having accumulated considerable, gold
dust he. desiring a more peaceable
and God-fearing life, turned his face
toward the little island-to him at all
times the loyeliest spot on earth, he
came back oyer land and endured
many hardships. In 1854 he married
Annie, daughter of Patrick. Riley, of
Covehead Road, who survives him.
He had family of fifteen. eight boys
and seven girls-eleven of whom sur
vive him. His eldest son Michael is
an attorney and mayor of Sank Cen
tire, MIMI; Thomas owns ranch in
Montana; James and John in the East
ern states; Patrick on. the homestead
and VIM. c., station agent at Bear
River. The daughters are Mrs. Sim
mott of Morell, Mrs. Donahue of West

The late Mr.. Hogan was elected to

Hawthorne administration in 1917.
Disliking public life, he declined furth-
err nomination. The deceased was a
man of exceptional fine physique,
healthy and vigol Gus to within a few
weeks of his demise. Thoroughly up
.;<~rt,t % NJ boy,nsf Tn all his deafness
charitable and industrious, he gath
cred more than an average share of
wealth, and dearly loved his native
village and the surroundings of his
own home in particular.
He passed peacefully away on the
eve of the 18th anniversary OF his
wedding, fortified by the last rites of
his church. of which he was a consis-
tent member His funeral took place
on Sunday afternoon to the cemetery
of St. Joseph, Morell Rear, and was
largely attended by all classes and
creeds, Rev.IA. McAulay officiating.

THREE SCORE And TEN.
Hon. Joseph Capser Cele-
brateS the Seventh An
niVerSary of His Birth.

Wednesday marked the completion
of seventy years of the life of Hon.
Joseph Capser, and it was 6ttingly OBJ
served. All of his children assembled
around the family hearth stone-per-
haps for the last time ever. Henry
and Albert from st. Paul, Mrs. Rey-
lick and Edward from Grafton, N. D.,
George from Milwaukee, and Mrs
Hall and Joseph, Jr., residents of
this city, had arranged among them
selves, without the knowledge of their
parents, to be home on this occasion.
1t was happy day indeed for parents
and children, and the opportunity was
seized upon to haye the family group
photographed. In the afternoon they
all called upon the venerable Mrs.
Sprague, who had not seen some of
the children for fifteen years, and yet
that remarkable memory of hers re-
called each and every one of them by
name and located them byrelative age.
This was one of the many pleasant
incidents of the day. -s,
In the evening dozen of the old
citizens and neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Capser dropped in upon the.
family gathering to show their esteem
and to offer cordial congratulations
After half-hour spent in pleasant
conversation they departed. Mr.. Cap
ser was evidently highly gratifed by
the thoughtfulness of his neighbors,
and in a broken voice attempted to
express his feelings, but as he said,
words failed him. 1t was pleasant
event for all present.

A REAL CHURCH ORGAN.
Beautiful Church Scene in the Old
Homestead.

Beautiful Church Scene in the Old
i Homestead.
One of the prettiest scenes in THE
Old Homestead" and the one which
caused the reatest comment on it's
production, is the beautiful picture
of Grace Church, N. Y, by Moonlight,
When the scene was first talked of be-
fore its production, one feature,
which was overlooked by all concern
ed, save Mr.. Thompson himself, was
to secure a real church organ.
When the expense was considered
it was voted almost an imposibility
but Mr. Thompson had faith in his
play, and after weeks OF consultation
win the best organ makers In the
country the result was a magnificent
piece of musical mechanism set up
on the stage of the Boston Theatre.
When The Old Homestead was
on for what proved to be the largest
and most successful run that any
American drama has enjoyed in our
history, the organ in Boston was taken

put together again, something was
wrong; 1t would not WORK to the sat
isfaction of Mr. Thompson, who is a
master on detail, and another expen-
sive organ was set up in the Academy
and there 1t now stands, monument
to Mr.. Thompsons expensive tastes.
Since The Old Homestead" was
first produced six organs have been
built for Mr.. Thompson, but only one
is of any use as the others will not
stand transportation.

a massive special improved organ,
which is guaranteed to withstand all
kinds of travel, of pure, sonorous and
orchestral tone. and theatre-goers of
this city will have an opportunity to
hear it.
Mr. Thompson's desire to have a
frst-class organ in his production has
cost him in the neighborhood of $25,-
, 600 But he will have it.
The company and production which
Mr.. Thompson carries this season
is said to be exceptional for road
