Then he tried his hand IN saw mill
and at logging, and in 1878 began to
learn the trade of a miller in the Mer-
rilan Touring mills under the direction
Of August Martins, proprietor, who
was conceded to be the best miller in
that part Of the state. Mr.. Martins
took great interest in his young
miller whom he found to be ever ready
and willing to work and learn So
pleased was Mr.. Martins with Mr.. Hen
derson that he took particular pains to
teach him every detail Of the business,
and he succeeded SO we'll 10 his instruc.

was sold to Martin Martins, who re.
tanned Mr.. Henderson as miller until
the fall of 1881, when he accepted a
position as travelling agent for the land
department of the St. Paul and Sioux
City railroad. He succeeded in this
line of business and made two trips to
England and Scotland selling land for
the company. He gave up the land
business and located in Sioux City in
1884, where he became head miller in

far between services. Mr.. Guinter,
observing these conditions, had pre-
pared himself for missionary work,
and il was q very common occurrence
to see him mount his pony and go from
place to place on Sunday, after work
ing hard during the week, and use his
talent in talking o,he people in a sod
school house. He added one talent
after another until he became sue.
ceseful preacher, and has been very
successful in all his undertakings along
this line and there stands to day mon
uments OF the results of his labor.
He served two terms as justice of
the peace in our city and gave good
satisfaction as judge. It was when
Judge Shannon was on the bench, and
cases were taken from the lower to the
upper court and there were very few
Of his decisions reversed The two
Judges thought great deal alike.
IN 1880 he opened up hardware
store in Lennox. which was known as
the Wigwam Store, but nit there was
not sufficient activity for him and he
sold out and obtained position with
Bergstrom Bros & Co., Neenah stove
works, and remained in their employ
for 9 years. He proved proficient tor
this position and made good record
as salesman. During an absence
from the road for several years, he was
engaged in the ministry, and has now
q half interest with Geo. E. Henderson
in the Beioit Flouring mills.
Mr.. Guinter enjoys travelling and his
fame and ability as salesman induced
the Cary Safe Co. of Buffalo, N. Y, to
secure his services as their representa-
tive in Northern Iowa and Minnesota
the present year. He is on the road
continuously and our heart is filled
with sympathy for the man who does
not want to buy safe. t... 4
Mr.. Guinter has a beautiful home
in Canton. where he and Mrs. Guinter
enjoy all the comforts and pleasures of
life. Their sons George and Merrill
are engaged in business for themselves
The writer has known D. 8. Guinter
since 1875, and to know him is to ad'
mire his sturdy honorable upright
character.

been determined that no reciprocity

This was on tho understanding that
Senior Quesada. the Cuban minister
here. had full powers. and that a treaty
could be drawn in Washington entirely
IL is stated now. however. that this can
not be done. and that any draft OF 4
treaty must go TO Havana and be re-
turned before il can be submitted to the
Senate.
This. of course. cannot be accomplish

before adjournment ii the estimates OF
the leaders that Congress will adjourn

while the President may ieel called
