promptly blew his brains out.

 The event is one not soon to be erased from the memory of those pres ent; and one which in future retrospec- tion will appear still distinctly beau. ttful and sacred no matter how far distantly seen back in the dim vista of time.
 Mir. Hinson is from one of the first families in the county and is a promi- nent young lawyer in this district. He has figured successfully is say- eral political campaigns. and 1t will be remembered also, was a member of the Constitutional convention of 1901.

MoRROCCAN CONDITION.
Sultan is Anxious to Trade With
 America.

New York, Dec. 25.-J. w. S. Langer- man, former United States Vice-Consul General at Tangier, Morocco, is in New York, on his way to report to the Sul- tan of Morocco, whose personal repre- sentative was at the St. Louis Exposi- ton.
 Speaking tonight of Morocco and It's desire for American trade, MT. Langer- man said:
 Never before was such an opportu- nifty been offered to American indus tries to secure a foothold in Morocco, it seems strange, but 1t Is a fact nevertheless, that in this country, where about ,16,000. 900 people live there is but one big American industry doing business and that Is the Standard oil Company.
 The Sultan and in fact, all his sub jects want to trade with Americans.
 They realize that the American peo- pie In business will treat them fairly and will not try to seize the country. I know personally that the Sultan Is one of the most ardent admirers of President Roosevelt.
 Tt is impossible for the French . troops to make any progress in Moroc- co, especially at this time of the year. It is now the rainy season. It Is im- possible for them to transport troops as there are no highways. Ferrying is their most modern methods of cross ing rivers.

Washington, Dec. 26.-(SpeclaL)- Every. empIoye about the White House realized Christmas a bird in the hand aoatnst two in the bush Seventy five attaches of the Executive Mansion, in cludinr ushers policemen, messengers ord servants received seventy-five tur- keys from President Roosevelt. Both married men and single were favored this time; in former years the single roen were favored with the Carnegie feeling and were given books with the Presidents autograph to prmg them good cheer. But the literary dona- lions caused so much unfeigned mel ancholv among the celibate employees That tb,s wear President Roosevelt abandoned the standpat policy and ac- romplished a most satisfactory revis- Ion. ,.
 There are great times at the White HIouse on Christmas gift occasions. A Aiberal part of the Presidents income 9s dispensed to not unexpectant friends and devotees.

She sent two par rels of candy from Washington to her Sunday school friends at Oyster Bay.
 Demand for Naval Officers.
 Where the Navy Department is to get officers, to say nothing of men euficiently trained for manning the battleships building and other vessels soon to go into commission is just now a most vexing question to the Secre- tary of the Navy and the officers with whom he is accustomed to advise

feel that they can well sympathize with the Russians in their efforts to hurry up a naval outfit strong enough to cope with the Japanese. It has been talked all around the world that the main trouble with the Russians when they fired on the English fish ing fleet was that the crews Of the war ships were largely made up Of untrained officers and sailors hurriedly gotten together from merchant ships and coast steamers. Congress recent ly increased the number of midship- men for the Naval academy graduating class will in time somewhat relieve the situation, but there Is nearly lm- mediate demand for much greater number of officers of the higher grades, more lieutenant commanders and lieu tenants being needed than the law al- lows. Admiral Converse wants 25O more lieutenants. Congress will be asked to increase the number of lieu tenant commanders from 200 to 300. the immediate need being 285. It is said to be a dangerous condition that the department Is now compelled to as- sign to battleship posts lieutenants as naviEators, ordnance officers and even ensigns and midshipmen for watch and division officers.N
 As President Roosevelt is known to be in sympathy with the advancement or the navy to the highest degree of ef- fieiency, it Is not unlikely that Con- gress will be persuaded to do much that is asked just now by Secretary Morton and Admiral Converse.
 Looking Over the South.
 Having begun, 1t Is said, with Vir- ginia, President Roosevelt Is under stood just now to be subjecting fed eraI appointments throughout the south to a most careful looking over with intent in every possible way to improve the public service. Out of this manifest purpose grew the report that he intended to revise the referee sys- tenn with which he has experimented since he succeeded MT. Mckinley.
 The President avows that federal po- sitions in the south shall be filled by men of standing. integrity and ability. preferring men who are not perui- ciousIy active in politics. He is well informed of charges and counter charges that have been made from time to time by the numerous factions that

Pleasant Occasion fin Yuletide Days al
 GreenvilIe.


 GreenviIIe, Dec 26-(special)- )- Twenty-four children from the Or phans' Home at Evergreen came to GreenviIle yesterday afternoon and gave a Christmas service at the Baptist Church last night. They were accom- panied by Rev. J. W. Stewart and Miss Still, the Kindergarten teacher. A packed house greeted them, some not able to secure seats.
 The execises consisted of songs, reel tations and a Christmas cantata, the children acquitting themselves in a highly creditable manner. They rang ed in ages from to Is years. A gen. eral collection was taken, and all the classes of the Sunday school also made donation, resulting in a total of $13I. The children, returned to Ever green on the night train.
 Rev. T. T. Todd preached yesterday afternoon at Gravel Hill, five miles south of this place. This was his first sermon since entering the ministry and a number of his friends accom- panied him.
 The schools are closed for the week and none of the stores have opened to- day, all taking holiday. An unusual number of visitors are in town, and few families are without guests.

mand for attention at the hands of Congress.
 There are 241 officers commissioned in the marine corps, of whom 205 were appointed from Northern States, the Southern States being credited with
 but 36. When Congressman Wiley of Alabama called to ask for the desig- nation of Holland M. Smith of Mont gomery to be examined for appoint
 ment as second lieutenant in the ma- rine corps, Secretary Morton. in grant ing the request, said that he did 1t
 for the reason that 1t had been some
 time since appointments to the corps
 had been made from the South. Of
 the thirty-six Southern officers, twelve are from Virginia, five from Georgia. i four each from Tennessee and Texas. | three from Louisiana, two each from Mississippi and North Carolina, and one each from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and South Carolina. Virginia l usually fares well on all government appointments on account of the States proximity to the national capital and convenience to the appointing power. Interior Western States, far from the seaboard, have received appoin tments out of all proportion to those given the Southern States. Nine Southern
 States, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas are blessed through the Atlantic and Gulf Coast with the longest coast line of
 the country, yet they are least favored
 with attention in the way of appoint
 ments to the governments marine ser vice.
 But the biggest and most vexing problem the navy has ever had to solve
 Is to supply competent officers for the

The only se- .rious part of his speech was when, ad- dressing his admonitions to the South ern representatives. he expressed his admiration of the Southern character
 Southern manhood and womanhood. The tribute made the Westerner popu- lar with the Southern members, includ- ing John Wesley Gaines. Hence the Tennesseean wants the Minnesotan to visit Nashville and talk about "Old Hickory" R. H. Watkins.

The serious nature of most of the charges involving pret- ty nearly all of the aspirants and in- cumbents to the Presidents mind evil dently appeared a presenting cause for further examination at the, first opportunity. When he took up the burdens left by the Mckinley adminis- tration, he shouldered them as he came to them. Now 1t is said that he will drop every office holder whose record both as a citizen of good business and social standing is not reasonably cor rect and fairly decent To that end he is studying the federal office hold ing class in the south with the view to giving the southern people an earn est of his. desire to supply them the very best' available federal public ser vice. That is the tenor of conclusion which one may now hear every day from visitors who had reasonably deh- mite conversations with President Roosevelt.
 Invited to Tennessee.
 Representative J. Adam Bede, of Min nesota, has been cordially invited by Representative John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, to visit Nashville on the occasion of Jackson's birthday.

Bede said he would accept If he could pos sibly do so. Mir. Bede is one of the brightest of the recent corners into the House. He also has something of a reputation as a witty man. He con- vulsed the House last session by a speech which. with all its fun, proved almost prophetic. He begged the Dem- ocrats while the country was enjoying an unprecedented era of prosperity. to quit their foolishness and mere oppo- sition tactics and come over" and make the election of the Republican candidate who would be named at the National Convention this year unani- nous. He predicted that the result would be so one-sided that the Demo- crats would recall and realize the force of his conclusions. and so he im- lpiored them ere 1t was too late to

AFTER STAMP MILL.

Maj. w. E. Seelye of Brainerd
and 5. Lawrence of Sault, Ontario
came to Redwood Falls last Friday
evening and spent the following
day at the gold mine north of Delhi,
inspecting the machinery, etc.
The two gentlemen are interested
in extensive mining interests at the
500, and it appears that they came
here for the purpose of making an
offer for the stamp mill outfit of the
Delhi company, providing they
found it satisfactory, and remove
the same to their 500 mining inter-
ests.
Saturday evening, on theirreturn,
they expressed surprise at the loot
ing that has been going on at the
mine. In the engine room every
thing was taken, down to stripping
the boiler, and they wondered at the
boldness of the pillagers.
They will make an offer for the
stamp mill, but the offer will be
much less than the company's sale
price.
