GENERAL ORDERS NO. 2.
Commander White Saws a Word to
the Grand Army Veterans.

From Fridays Daily.
Commander Harrison White, of the
Grand Army of the Republic, Depart
ment of Minnesota has issued his gen.
erai orders No. 2, in which are contained
his appointments of aides de camp on the
department commanders staff, his ap.
pointments of committees, etc.
Pipestone county veterans receive sub.
stantial recognition at the hands of the
commander, the following being appoint
ed as aides: Chas. Howe, Post No. 95
Pipestone; Fred Bloom, Post No. 1870
Woodstock; w. B. Drawn, Post No. 95,
Pipestone Among the members of the
Soldiers Home committee, is G. H. Ben
nett, Post No. 90, Pipestone.
In his orders Commander White notes
that "the union soldiers buried in the
south number over 100000 and the
mounds above their remains should never
be neglected they are never wholly neg
lected but they can only be lightly dec
Grated by reason of the few comrades
down amidst them and they need our
help every year. For this purpose con-
tributions to the Southern Memorial
fund should be Immediately sent to the
adjutant general who will promptly ae-
knowledge receipt and forward the same
at once to the proper committee, and
comrades, it is a duty to give quickly,
give cheerfully and lovingly"
The annual Memorial Order" has been
issued from the national headquarters of
the Ladies of the Grand Army of the
Republic at San Francisco, and reads in
part as follows:
''In the spring of 1858, at the sug-
gestion of General Chapman, General
Logan issued the famous order which es-
tablished May 80 as Memorial Day for
the nation in these words: ''The thir-
tieth day of May, 1868, is designated for
the purpose of strewing flowers, or
otherwise decorating the graves of com
rades who died in defense of their coun-
try during the late rebellion, and whose
bodies now lie in almost every city, VII
lage and hamlet church yards In the
land"
"For over thirty. years this honored
ceremony has been observed, it's sacred
significance increasing with every year.
AS the soldier ranks of the living dimin
ish, the sacredness of Memorial Day in
creases. Each year swell the number of
soldier dead, and adds significance and
import to the mission of Memorial Day
eve, as mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters need no reminders of the re-
currence of this day nor of our duties
towards the loved heroes from when we
have parted. Some of us cherish a love
in our hearts which pays perpetual tri-
butte to the memory of dear one, and
makes our lives one long Memorial Day.
"But May 30, stands as the particular
time for a universal and outward dem
onstration of our gratitude, reverence
and sorrow."-Pipestone Star.

KILLING GRASSHOPPERS.
How a Nebraska Man Saved His Crop,
According to Story.

Lincoln, Neb., April pa gentleman
who used to live at university place, was
growing wheat in Southern Nebraska
when the grasshoppers struck him. He
had forty-ac field of wheat that year,
promising big yield, and the pros
pect of its having to go to feed his enc
mics, the grasshoppers, was CALLING al
most beyond endurance. Very soon after
the vanguard of the hoppers appeared,
however, this gentleman made an ento
biological discovery that saved his crop.
81 found" he said, shat the grass
hoppers were in the habit of climbing the
stalks every morning to spend the day
feeding on what was intended to feed
me and my family. I used to go out to
the field to see how they were getting
on every morning, and in my Impotence
at the liberties they were taking with
my wheat 1 would occasionally strike
at clump of them as they hung to a
stalk and knock them to the ground.
"After while I noticed that when
grasshopper was thus dislodged he made
no further effort to get his dinner, but
remained on the ground until the regular
time to climb the stalk the next morn
ing Immediately on making the i'm
portant discovery went and took down
our long wire clothes line, and called my
wife to come and help me. Then we
went through that forty acre field, drag
ging the clothes line over the wheat be-
tween us, and knocking all the grasshop-
pers to the ground. There they stay
ed till the next day.
''Next morning we gave the hoppers
Just time enough to get well started up
the stalks when we went out and repeat
ed the proceeding of the day before. The
result was the same, and in the course of
few days every grasshopper in that
field had died of starvation. Our neigh
bors came out every morning to jeer at
us, and called us pair of old idiots,
but we harvested the only wheat crop
in that part of Nebraska that year"

TWO MORE STREETS.
First Warders Ask to Have Second
and Fifth Streets Improved.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The meeting of property owners of the
first ward for the purpose of consider
ing street improvements was held in the
Dukes addition hose house last night
About twenty-five were present, and a
good deal of progress was made. Ii
was decided to ask the council to gravel
Fifth street from Vine to Lime, and
Second street from Thompson to May
the city to pay one-third of the cost
and the property owners on each side
of the street one third This is the
same plan that the Fourth street prop
erty owners adopted at the meeting
couple of weeks ago, when they asked
to have that street graveled from La
fayette street to Thompson's creek
The matter of the improvement of
Third street was left open, as it was
felt that more work ought to be done
on that street Another meeting will be
held later in the season to consider this
matter, after the improvement has been
made on the other streets.
The council will be petitioned at it's
next meeting to order the crawling of
the two streets mentioned, on the terms
agreed upon.
The example set by the first warders
in the way of public spirit should be-
come contagious and lead to the prop
erty owners in other parts of the city
seeking to better their streets. All of
the bad streets are by no means in the
first ward

ROUNDED UP LOTT.
He Is Accused Of Having Run Gam
bling House at Redwood.
From Fridays Daily.

from Fridays Daily.
Sheriff b.. G. Schale1ler of Redwood
county and. Sheriff. William J. Julius of
Brown county came to Mankato yester-
day evening in quest of WiIliamLott DIVA
basso, who is under ind5etment by the
Redwood county grand jury on the
charge of running gambling house.
With the assistance of the local police,
the sheriffs secured the man. Lott was
found engaged. in a quiet little game in
a South Front street saloon. He was
locked up in the police station over
night. He left in the charge of Sheriff
Schueller this morning for Redwood
Falls, where he win be tried, if he does
not plead guilty. 1t is likely that Lott
will plead guilty. He talked last night
of the great hardship inflicted upon him
in combining him to, cell over night,
and said he would like to pay his fine
right away. He said he was running a
restaurant at Wabasso and that in that
connection he had poker room.
The main credit for Lofts capture be-
longs to Sheriff Julius. Lott had learn
ed that the authorities were after him
and had quietly left Wabasso on We'd
nesday leaving no trace of his where
abouts. Sheriff Julius heard that the
man was wanted at Redwood Falls and
by a chance conversation with an ac-
quaintance, who had been with Lott
and learned the lather's plans, discovered
that Lott had gone to Mankato. He
wired the information to Sheriff Schuel-
Ter, and the result was that both came
to Mankato and the fugitive was secur-
ed.

CONFERENCE HELD.
Aldermen Talk Over Proposed Street
improvements.
From Saturdays Daily

The members of the council
I, and board of public works held an in
/ formal meeting in the office of the board
of public works last evening, to talk
over street improvement. All were pres.
ent except Aid. Mckinley, who was at
tending the meeting of property owners
in the first ward, and Assessor Jordan
Mayor Taylor was also present.
The matter was talked over thor
oughly, but no definite conclusion was
arrived at, and it was decided to hold
another informal meeting before the
next meeting of the council, next Fri
day night, when special meeting will
be held to consider liquor license APP
plication. The idea was for the alder
men to think the matter over thorough
ly so that when they arrive at conclu-
sion they will stick to it, even in the
face of opposition, which is sure to be
encountered, no matter what the i'm
provement is.
1t is said that there was a general
sentiment in favor of paving Jackson
street, and also perhaps Front. The
placing of curb and cutters on streets
not yet provided with them was talked
over
Another matter that was discussed
was the placing of water meters. 1t
was felt that unless this was done more
rapidly than has been done they will
not be all gotten in by Nov. LIST, which
is the time limit set.

GOOD WOMAN PASSES AWAY.
Mrs. Michael Sheeoran Dies at Maple
ton After Long Illness.
From Eridau,s Daily
From Fridays Daily.

The serious illness of Mrs. Michael
Sheeran chronicled in last weeks Enter
prise resulted fatally on Friday morning
when the good woman passed to her final
reward Mrs. Sheeran was woman of
strong character, devoted Christian,
and although debarred to cartain ex
tent by her in6rmities from attending
the church of her choice, ever remained
devoted and true.
Mrs. Sheeran was born in Rascommon,
Ireland, August 18th, 1881, coming to
America when young lady, living for a
time in the state of Vermont, where she
married Michael Sheeran, Nov. 18th,
lS4S, in the city of Ruthland. A few
years later she moved to Minnesota, To-
eating in Medo township, this county,
where they made their home until about
ten years ago when they removed to
Mapleton. In September, 1901, he who
had been her companion through life was
called away, leaving her entirely alone
with the exception of one son, who now
survives kind and devoted mother.
The deceased was the mother of fam
lily of twelve, all of whom preceded her
to the grave with the exception of one
son, Mr.. Frank Sheran, of Minneapolis,
who was with his mother during her last
days and at the time of her death. Mrs.
Sheeran was good neighbor and friend
and in her death the community has lost
a noble character and the church a de-
voted adherent.
The funeral was held from the Catho.
lie church on Monday morning, Father
Stack the local priest officiating. A num-
Der of the friends of the deceased at
tended the services and followed the re-
mains to their last resting place in the
consecrated ground of the Catholic ceme-
tery.-Mapleton Enterprise.

WHAT FOSTER PREDICTS.
Some Cold Weather Slated for the
Month of Nav.
From Saturdays Daily.


Washington, D. c., April 23.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of a disturbance
to cross the continent April 20 to May 3,
warm wave April % to May 2, cool wave
| May l to 5, The next disturbance will
reach the Pacific coast about May 2,
cross west of the Rockies by the close
of May 3, great central valleys May 4 to
6, eastern states May 7. A warm wave
| will cross west of the Rockies about May
| 2, great central valleys, May 4, eastern
states May 6, a cool wave will cross west
of the Rockies about May 5, great CEN
trail valleys May I, eastern states May
10.
This disturbance will end the high tenn
perature wave for first week in May
and very great fall in temperature
will follow. Look out for very danger
Gus storms May to Ii and very cold
weather not far from May on meridian
80, a little earlier as we 90 west, little
| later as we go east. This cold wave will
take frosts unusually far southwark. 1t
will not be good for growing crops of any
kind and our women folks would better
be on their guard, in the northern states,
over their tender plants in the ground.
The southern states will feel this cold
wave of May but their difficulties will
come with food in some places, drouth
in others, high rivers in others. The
weather bureau will have an opportunity
to get in some of its most valuable work
on the floods of rivers from May to 81
and frosts May 49, and l9-northern
| frosts. The weather bureau is fixed to
do good work on the river floods but it
does not otherwise reach the agriculture
to any great extent. 1t does reach com
merce, however, and it should reach agri-
culture as well.

WIRES were SLASHED
Business With Twin Cities Over Three
Lines Interrupted.
Unknown Party Cuts Many Wires
Near Helena.
Citizens Telephone Company Suffers
From Shot Fired.
Number of Phones Increases 0vel
Fifty This Month.
From Saturdays Daily.

A mean piece of business was perpe
trated near Helena, town not far from
Chaska, last night. Some party slashed
the wires of the Minnesota Valley Tele.
phone company, the Western Union Tele-
graph company, and the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange company. The bust
ness of the lines was interrupted until
repairs could be made today.
Nearly all of the wires were cut.
What object any person could have had
in cutting the wires connot be conceived.
He could not have had spite against
any one of the companies, as all suf-
fered equally. 1t may have been the
freak of an insane person. The West
ern Union and Northwestern Telephone
companies have standing rewards for the
arrest of persons who injure their poles
or wires, and no doubt every effort will
be made to apprehend and punish the
person who did the despicable work.
This forenoon some boy shot through
the hood of the distributing pole of the
Citizens Telephone company, located in
the alley back of S. Zimmerman's hard
ware store. The bullet did considerable
damage, besides interfering with the
telephone service. The company was
Obliged to replace six fuses.
The parties who did the shooting are
said to be known to the officers of the
company. This is not the first time that
the Citizens Telephone company has suf-
fered from carelessness or deviltry.
and il may be that it will be decided to
make an example of the parties impli-
Gated. There is severe penalty for in
juring property of telephone and tele-
graph companies, and it is time that
such work was put stop to.

The Citizens Telephone company has
received over fifty new contracts for
phones during the present month, bring
ing the number up to nearly 900 now in

AARON BURR
CASE is CITED
AN INTERESTING POINT IN THE
DOLE'S SPECIAL TERM. III

The famous disbarment case of Aaron
Burr in which CHIEF Justice Marshal
the greatest of American jurists wrote
final opinion, is one of the authorities
which have been applied by Distric,
Attorney Breckons in the case of
George A. Davis, which is to be heard
before United States Judge Dole next
week. Judge Dole will open a specia!
term on Monday for this case and some
Japanese cases.
At the start District Attorney Bceck-
ons encountered an apparent dldi2ulty
i'm bringinb the case. The rule is that
disbarment case shall not be heard
by a court except upon sworn charges
and Breckons, not having personal
knowledge of many of the matters
necessary to allege in the petition to
disbar Davis, was not in a position to
make affidavit. In the Aaron Burr case
he found that Marshal in precisely
similar circumstances held that as the
respondent had asked for the petition
he might waive the affidavit.
The petition against Davis will prCb-
ably be filed on Monday and VIII so to
an immediate hearing
