Doctors Still Careless.

Local physicians and town and town
ship clerks will be interested in the
fact that more complete vital statistics
are being received by the state board
of health than ever before, due to the
warning sent out in March to town
clerks and health officers. However,
there are many physicians who neglect
to report births or deaths to the local
officials, and the data received is still
lacking in authority.
DR.. H. NJ. Bracken, secretary Of the
board, calls attention to the law requir.
ing these reports to be made. The
law is mandatory, and provides a fine
with the alternative Of Imprisonment
for failure to report. The duty falls
on the physician or upon the oldest
person next of kin. These records are
not Important for statistical purposes
only, but the board is often appealed
to for certificates Of death, III order t.

Insurance Companies Must Pay
In Full.

The jury in Judge Kelly's court in
St. Paul after being out for about an
hour, brought in a verdict last week
for the full amount and interest in fa-
vor of the plaintiff, the Belle Plaine
Manufacturing and Supply company,
against the Security Mutual Fire In.
surance company, Of Chatfield, MINI.
The amount of the verdict, with inter
est is $2,O2760.
There was before the court, at the
same time, a suit by the Belle Plaine
company, with Il. G. Lucy, mortgage,
also plaintiff, against the Consolidated
Fire and Marine Insurance company
of Albert Lea in which the plaintiffs
demanded $4,000.
1t was agreed that this case should
be submitted to Judge Kelly without a
jury.
The second case differed from the
first, in that the fire policy ran to the
individual members of the partnership
and not to the partnership, but it did
insure partnership property.
Both suits were brought after loss
of the plant of the Belle Plaine com
pany.
We all have an interest in having in.
surance companies pay promptly and
fully for losses incurred. Any compan-
les that try to evade proper losses will
certainly become unpopular. Let com.
panies be careful of risks they take but
stick to their contracts afterwards.

MEMORIAL, DAY.
lts1Approprialte CeIebratiof1:

The following extract from "Gener-
al Order, No. 81 sent out from the
Headquarters Department Of Mime
sofa Grand Army of the Republic is
worthy of all consideration
Since the year 1868 the Grand Army
Of the Republic have annually observed
the 30th day of May as sacred to the
memory of those of our Comrades who
out of prison pens and hospitals, or in
the fire and smoke of battle, OF from
lingering disease aud wounds have
yielded up their lives on their country's
altar, that the Nation might live.
How can we, their surviving Com
rades, better show our love and appre-
citation, or more fttingly commemorate
their deeds of valor, and devotion to-
the flag, with all that it represents,
than by strewing upon their graves the
beautiful God-given flowers Of spring?
Quoting from the prize essay upon
this theme. Of one of the young
men Cf our public schools of
Minnesota these sentiments are worthy
of our careful thought: "When we
think Of our heritage, and by whom it
was preserved, every common soldier
makes us his debtor in a measure of
obligation which can never be can
celled. Let us enshrine their memory
and perpetuate their work. Let us
tenderly gather and garner the names
of all, and let Memorial Day teach us
to be patriotic, chivalrous, clean in
hand, stainless in ife.'
Such sentiments coming to us thirty
| nine years after the close Of the great
struggle for National existence, from
our young men and women of today,
are surely a harbinger of still greater
achievements for our Republic, and an
assurance that the toll and sufferings
through which we were called to pass
from 1851 to Is were not in vain. With
such spirit Of devotion to our Country
and it's defenders, we shall fear no foe
either from within or from without,
and sold Glory" will continue to float
as q beacon light to the Oppressed of all
lands, who may seek shelter under it's
folds. HI VIZ ss==$@3 @ 1E
In obedience therefore to orders
from the Commander in Chief, and
from the love we bear towards oul
Comrades who have 'gene before" all
posts in this department will suitably
commemorate Monday the Both day OF
May next as sacred to the memory Of
our dead, and the duty is enjoined upon
every Comrade Of this department to
do all within his power to make the
day impressive, and discountenance
every thing which would detract from
Its proper observance.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Luverne, Mimi, Jan. 1S.-The second
session of the village council for the pur
pose of Investigating the charges of eX-
tortion against Marshal Dave Clegg was
held Saturday evening. The primary OBJ
ject of the investigation was for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the charges of eN-
tortiOn, but 1t was evident from the be-
ginning that the council desired the in
vestigation to be most thorO and to go
into other reported charges against Clegg.
The case. however, developed into prac-
tically a court trial. Clegg had procured
the services of Attorney A. J. Daley, and
thru his efforts the evidence was confined
entirely to the principal case. County At
torney E. H. Garfield conducted the eX-
amina ton for the city.
The principal witness against Clegg was
George Austin, the young man who was
alleged to have paid the eXtortion money.
Austin sustained the charges preferred by
his brother and friends, telling his story
in a clear and frank manner. He stated
unequivocally that Clegg had solicited
from him the sum Of $40, for which Clegg
had agreed to return, as unable to find
party charged warrant for Austin's
arrest for stealing, which Clegg said he
had in his possession.
Alfred c. Smith, a brother of Austin
and the principal affiant in the affida
Wits heretofore published in T h e o u T.
II a |, was the second witness called by
the council. His testimony was corrob-
orative of that Of his brother.
Sheriff J. E. Black was then sworn by
the defense. Mr.. Black testified that he
was with Clegg at the time Austin says
he paid the money, and that he did not
see it paid. He admitted however, that
it would have been possible for the money
to be given Clegg without his seeing it.
Clegg was then placed on the stand in
his own behalf. He admitted talking to
Austin about the overcoat Austin was
alleged to have stolen, and his testimony
as to the places where the subject was
first discussed and also where it was set
tied tailed exactly with that given by
Austin. He, however, contradicted in
toto all other statements made by Aus
tin, denying each and every allegation
made by Austin and in the affidavits Of
Smith, Jaynes and Allen.
The council then adjourned until to-
night.

The Strenuous Life
What 1t Often Results In.

This is the day and time of the
strenuous. The American people are
and always have been strenuous. 1t
is a strenuous nation, and our strenu-
osity has had a very great deal to do
with our phenomenal growth and de-
velopment. We probably will always
be strenuous, and just where it will
land us as a nation, no man can tell.
The chief magistrate Of the country
may be called the great high priest OF
the strenuous life, and with such an
example before the youth of the land
there can be no question as to the
result 49,
Like all other things, good and bad.
there can easily be too much strenu-
osity, and too much of a good thing
is almost as bad as too much of a bad
thing.
One of the first and universally bad
habits Of the strenuous is too fast eat
ing. The strenuous man usually has
no time to devote to the proper mas
tication of food. He piles into his
patient stomach mass Of food that
calls on the stomach to do the double
work of teeth and stomach.
Years of this sort of abuse certain
ly and surely bring it's penalty, and
it is no exaggeration to say that three
quarters of the active business men
Of the United States suffer from dys-
pepsia.
