School Improvement.

County Superintendent of Schools,
Paul Ahles is busity engaged, visiting
schools. He hopes to be able to inspect
every school IN the county before the
summer vacation but is somewhat
doubtfu whether the limit tied time will
give him the opportunity to do this
thoroughly, and is therefore contem-
plating the advisability of holding
sectional meetings of teachers in diff
ferent parts of the county to discuss
with them matters of interest to the
schools, and learn their needs: He is
planning to have grades established
in all the pubic schools and is prepar-
ing an outline of work tosbe followed.
OF course it will take some time to
carry out these plans which will un-
doubtedly result in great improve
ment in the schools of the county. 1t
will require great deal of work on
the part of the superintendent, but
Mr.. Ahles is we'll equipped for the
difficult task by training and exper-
fence and his efforts will no doubt be
greatly appreciated by the patrons Of
the public schools.-Times.

Farmers Institute.

The farmers institute held in this
CITY on Saturday last was largely
attended and gave complete satisfac
tion to all, both lecturers and aud
ience. The instructors were A. K.
Bush, A. w. Trow, J. E Rice and
DR.. E. F. Frank-all plain, practical
farmers, who spoke from personal
experience, and in Straightforward
manner which inspired confidence.
They were not theorists, who talked
away oyer the heads of the everyday
farmer-but tkeir suggestions were
such as could be made available right
here in central Minnesota, and upon
any farm. The care of stock, poul-
try, horses, trees-a hundred details
which will add to the pleasure and
profit of farming We're discussed, and
valuable ideas communicated. While
but one day could be given to the
work, it was a valuable day to all
present.

Obituary..


CoRDELL-At the hospital at Furgus
Falls, on Saturday, February 7,
1908, John B. CCrdell. aged so
years.
A year ago last May the deceased
was taken to the hospital for the
insane for treatment, his mind having
been afflicted by reason of severe
illness-an affection Of the spinal
column. His case refused to yield
to treatment. and ar operation was
performed, which gave but temporary
relief. Subsequently q second opera
tion was deemed nece ssary, and on
January 80 FOR third time the
patient submitted to like treatment,
but all to no purpose. Everything
was done for him which the best
medical skill could do. and lie
friends are satisfied that he had the
best treatment possible. His brother
ln-law, George Mann, went to Fergus
Falls last week, and remained with
him unit he died and on Sunday
brought his remains here for burial.
Mr.. Cordell, in 1889, moved from
Wisconsin and purchased 320 acres
OF wild land in Ashley. and by
patient industry converted the tract
into handsome and profitable farm.
His family consisted Of his wife and
eight children, the oldest fourteen
aud the youngest but two years Of age.
His terrible affection was crushing
blow to his family. The farm was
rented and the family removed to
the city where they have since re-
sided. His funeral was held on Tues
day morning from St. Paul's church,
Fr. ART Off ,iatiny. He was a men,
Der of the Catholic Order of For
esters, and he carried life insurance
of $1,000 in that order. Mr.. Cordell
was held in the highest esteem and
respect by his largo circle OF &C
quaintances, and was OF a most genial
and cheery temperament. His death
is deeply deplored by all and deepest
smy pathy is expressed for his be-
reaved family.

Killed a Wolf.

On Friday evening last while Sig
ert Hjolme was driving on the lake
he was followed pretty closely by tive
large wolves. While they madeE 40
serious demonstration, yet he was
glad to leave them behind. On
Tuesday evening. in company with
Oscar Nelson, he drove up the lake
prepared to meet the brutes. He
took 32-calibre rife with him.
Near the brick yard the saw wolf
and drove pretty close 10 it, but
fearing to shoot frem the cutter on
account of the horse, Mr.. Hiolne
alighted, when the wolf ran away,
but not quite soon enough. At a
distance of about twenty rods he
fired, hitting the animal in the side
so Gripping him that he could net
run. A second shot at short range
ended it's life. It was large fe-
male, and Sigert is naturally right
proud of his achievement.

wonder. There are many reasons why
the Pioneer Press has the iarges t

has all the virtues of age and none of
the vices Of youth. It's editorials en-

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
John Middagh Killed and
Terribly Mutilated by
the Cars.

On Saturday morning word was
brought to the city by q boy named
Smith that man had been killed on
the Great Northern branch near the
Long Prairie highway crossing, two
miles north of the city. The boy was
accompanying his father up the track
when they made the gruesome discov-
ery Of parts Of human body scattered
along the track. The father sent his
son to the city to notify the Mayor.
Although outside his territorial Jurls-
diction Mayor Barto spoke to Or.
Lamb, and DR.. Hilbert OF Melrose, the
deputy coroner, was Notified by tele-
phone, and he auth oriZed DR.. Lamb to
look after the case. DR.. Hilbert
drove up at once to assist in the invest
igation. DR.. Lamb proceeded at once
to the place indicated and found that
parts of the body were strewn along
the track for distance OF quarter OF
mile and he picked up twenty-five or
thirty fragments. From letters found
in the pockst Of his coat it was ascer-
tanned that his name WAS John Mid
daeh, a resident of Birchdale for sew
eral years, and quite we'll known In
this city. He was a bachelor OF
about 60 years Of age, and has remote
relatives in Birchdnle named Schwatz.
fadder. Coroner Hilbert called them
up by telephone and learned that de-
ceased had been occupying a claim
near Motley, but had recently been
visiting in Birchdale. He was seen in
this city on Friday evening as late as
eleven o'clock, and said that he in.
tended to walk to Long Prairie that
night, which he doubtless essayed to
do. He is quite deaf, but with a fatu-
ity which is surprising selected the
railroad track instead OF the highway
for his journey on foot.
During the night An engine backed
up to Round Prairie after number OF
cars which were left there by the regu-
lar train, as it was impossible to haul
the entire train to the citv, and later
the engine returned with the cars. 1t
is thought that the engine backing up
ran over the man on it's way north,
and that the entire train ground the
body to pieces upon its return. This
theory is substantiated by the fact
that his remains were so horribly NUT
Hated, and his clothing was tern in
pieces and scattered from the sema-
phore tower within the city limits,
where his fur oyercoat was found, 10 a
point fully three miles north, where
his vest was picked up.
The fact the engine was backing up

THE DIP IN THE BLUE CREEK
ROAD.

Hop-picl1ing at the Merton farm
was drawing to a close. It was We'd
nesday afternoon, and by mid-after-
noon OF the day following Jack Par
melee calculated that the last pole
would be stripped.
During these final days of the har-
vest Miss Densmore had, contrived to
learn much of the story of Rossiter's
life, not directly, but by inference,
and by patching together such facts
in regard to him as he had let fall
Intentionally or by accident. She
managed to break in upon his re-
serve, and had often been upon the
point of asking him certain questions
regarding himself, yet had never done
SO. OF Rossiter's admiration for her
she was aware, perhaps in meas
ure by intuition, for he had scrupu-
lousy endeayored not to let his feel
ings be manifest, and she doubted If
even her cousin had observed any
thing in his demeanor to indicate that
he had a preference between them.
Her state of mind towards him she
had not seriously tried to analyze.
OF a lively interest in him she was
conscious, but had any one suggested
that she cherished deeper or
warmer feeling she would have re-
PEELED the idea yehemently. The dis
covery of weaknesses in his character
had not lowered him in her estima-
Atior Indeed, her sympathies, for
that very reason. went out towards
him more strongly. She fancied she
discerned the battle he was fighting
with himself, and ionged somehow,
il he would but let her, to give him

Whensit comes to story telling, Congress
man Samuel L. Powers, of Newton, can hold
his own with any OF them. The other night
he related one which was much appreciated
by those who heard 1t, says the Boston Post.
The story Is about Senators Blackburn and
Fairbanks and Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw. When the latter first came to Wash
ington Senator Blackburn had some bust
ness with the secretary. and while in the
office met Senator Fairbanks. After the
business was concluded Senator Blackburn
invited the other two out to have a hbation,
and they accepted.
All hands lined up against the bar OF the
Riggs house. Turning TO Secretary Shaw,
Senator Blackburn said: what will you
have, Mr.. Secretary" ''Well, 1 guess I'll
have glass OF lemonade" was the reply.
The gentleman from Kentucky then turned
to Senator Fairbanks and said: "And what
Will You have, senators" ''In have glass
of Moxie," was the reply. The bartender
leaned over the counter aad said TO Senator
Blackburn: "And what's yours, senator:"
