OUR GHOST HOAX.
The Neitzel Ghost Story a
Fairy Tale Too OFTEN
Told.

1t is time the Neitzel ghost hoax were
exploded. For month all sorts OF ru-
mors have been afloat of the frequent
appearance OF the wrath OF the unlor-
tunate Neitzel who lost his life on the
railroad, three miles east OF the city.
1t is quite possible that some or those
who think they have seen something
,ncanny and supern atural are sincere,
uut their stories lack defniteness. The
ghost has a varied wardrobe, evident
ly, sometimes appearing clad IN black,
sometimes In gray, and again In
brown. When last seen the poor
thing was headless.
On Wednesday afternoon a number
of Sank Centre people. Including sever
al ladies, went down the track to get
glimpse of the shade of the departed.
It appeared. They saw it plainly.
There could be no mistake. A we'll
known practical joker of this city, who
didn't like to see such crowd disap-
pointed. followed down and walked
the track at the haunted(?) spot, dis
appeared suddenly in the bushes. and
reappeared headless. He took OF his
coat, wrapped it around his head and
proceeded to walk again.
Later in the evening, just as the liver
passed for the east-the time when 1T
we. ..omn, s,nd prisons were stationed
along the track for a considerable dis
lance, but no sign of ghostapp
The herald would not seriously
consider the matter at all but that
many timid and nervous people both
in the city and country, are really
alarmed. Rest assared there is not
nor never has been any found alton for
these sensational rumors and reports.
Someone in Washington, ID. Z. wrote
to Prof. Vath requesting him to inves'
tigate the matter. He evidently thinks
there may possibly be something In
the story. Let this be sufficient ans
wer to him. The story is a hoax.

The state supreme court on Friday
HANGED down ten per curtain decisions
holding that title to lands in Big Stone
and Traverse counties is vested In
those who purchased the lands from
Archbishop John Ireland as against
those who settled on them under the
homestead law. Archbishop Ireland
purchased the lands originally from
the ST.. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba railroad. Later he sold them TO
individual purchasers. In the mean
time other persons settled on the lands
under the homestead law and chal-
lenged the title of the original pur-
chasers. Journal Press.

Albert Bucher meets a long felt
want. Read what he says:
There has been for a long time a
demand for cut or ground bone for
poultry. There is nothing equal to it
for egg producing, particularly in win

bought bone mill and will keep on
hand a lot of fresh bones ground just

pickerel was recently caught in schuy-

that the fishing is excellent Fish OF

Christmas Day at St. Paul's

At st. Paul's Catholic church the
customary services, appropriate for
the occasion, were observed on
Christmas Day, the Feast of the Ma
tiyity. The ladies of the Altar So
ciety had skilfully and attractively
decorated the sanctuary and altar
with evergreens and flowers. Though
the day was unusually cold, the church
was comfortably tiled at the early
and late masses.
The choir, under the direction OF
Miss Gertie Weidenfeller ably as
sisted by Prof. J. Anderson, sang
Emerson's Mass in G, in an effective
manner. The various solos-Bass,
Mr.. Lawrence Gibbons: soprano,
Miss Helen Dresen; tenors, Massrs.
Henry Jacka and Francis Cody 49,
were rendered so correctly and pleas
ingly as to draw the favorable com
ments of all present.
Rev. Father O'Keefe preached a
very forceful sermon, fitted to the
day. The text was taken from the
Gospel Of st Luke, Chap. 2: And
Simeon blessed them and said, be
