Henry Larsen and George Hansen,
two of the bright and capable young
men from here, went to Des Moines
Monday to attend college. The boys
recognize that to stand we'll in the
world and to compete with the new
blood of this generation they must be
up with the march Of progress and
fit their minds with a trained educa-
ton, if they hope to successfully COM
pete with the world of hustlers.
School will commence week from
Monday with Miss Mae jenkins in
Brayton and Miss Pearl Jenkins in
Oakfield. The position of principal
in Oaktield was not filled Tuesday
but director Koob hoped to have it
filled. The patrons all desire gen.
tleman to fill the place but there
seems to be dirth of men in this
profession who are capable Of holding
position. The time will come in
this township when the outside dis
tricts will send here and the course
will be made better yet than it is.
About month ago while milking
the cows on his farm, Geo. Hoegh
was kicked by one of them. He paid
little attention to this tor it did not
hurt much and he went on about his
work. Last week the leg began TO
hurt and George thought he had the
rheumatism. He came in and on ex-
animation found that an abcess had
formed deep down in his leg where
he had been kicked, and was not no.
ticeable from the outside. After the
doctor opened it and dressed it relief
came to the pain and he is now get
ting on famously.
Walter Nielsen and Katie Nyeman
were married last Wednesday at her
parental home, Jesse Nyeman, and
now take their place among the fami-
lies of the community. In entering
this new life, these young people as
sumo the solemn duties untold mill
ions before them have. They will
find shadows and sunshine; the mat
rimonial waters will sometimes be
smooth and placid and then again
roll high with waves of cross purpos-
es and peculiarties. But the young
people are both capable of holding
their own in the world and will be
able to take their part in the new du-
ties and responsibilities they assume.

fact that the admiral report is brought

Wasted HurnOr

Sam r. Glover. the known
newspaper man, now OF California,
was sent out to Dakota some years
ago by Chicago paper when Sitting
Bull was threatening to go on the war
path. John Grass was another Indian
at that time enjoying temporary fame.
The trouble was soon adjusted. hut
before Mr.. Glover left it occurred to
the army officers that the opportunity
for a meeting between the journalist
and the last-named savage was too
good to be lost Accordingly. without
any hint to the principals, Captain
Maus called in the red man and said
"Mr Glover. this Is Mr. Grass"
"Hey?" promptly returned the for

Among the bills passed by the last

for the erection of monument at

great pioneer. Daniel Boone, is most
rraiseworthy and appropriate. 1t will
be fitting testimonial to the sterling
worth Of a great man. who braved the
dangers Of the nnbroken forest 10
years ago and planted here the seed
of progress. 1t was he who blazed
the trail over the hills and through the
wilderness from Virginia, and led
more peaceably inclined settlers into
this garden spot Of earth. To him is
due the credit Of discoverer and ex-

Trading Companies Announce They
will Quit Credit Business.
Dawson, Y. T., June 2O-The North
ern Commercial and North American
Transportation and Trading companies
have announced that they will quit the
credit business in the klJndike a
month hence. This is the most sweep
ing change of financial policy in the
history of the Klondike. The entire
camp will have to buy goods for cash
ordo without. Seventy per cent of the
miners in the camp have been carried
on credit by the big companies eight
months of the year. The new policy
will force producers to keep money
enough here to buy supplies all winter,
and may seriously affect thousands of
laymen, whose only capital is muscle,
with no means Of paying for grub till
the cleanup.

King Peters position has been a
peculiarly delicate one. For years az
an aspirant to the throne Of Servia he
lived in banishment and poverty. Then
came the brutal butchery of Alexander
and his queen in the palace at Boil
grade and the call to Peter to ascend
the throne. No one knows to this day
whether or not he was a party to tho
double ASA ssination. He did not dare
elevate the butchers Of his predeces-
sors to the high positions which they
craved; he was equally powerless to
visit upon them the punishment they
SO richly deserved. He has tried to
pursue a middle course. and in this
he has plea sed the adherents Of neither
party. He tries to win the affection
of his subjects by his democratic ways,
and is as easy Of approach to the
swinehered as to the prime minister.

rectly across the royal grounds there
faces him the open window through
which the mangled bodies of Alexan

since the tragic event
Peter bears no resemblance to the
first Black George, whose great thews
and sinews could break the bones of
an ordinary man as though they were
fimsy fagots. He is little mite Of
man, with a sad. careworn face. He
can hardly be five feet two inches in
height or weigh 100 pounds. He seems
to dread the gloom of his palace and
to seek relief In the Streets taking long
walks in the company Of an adjutant.
On such walks he wears the uniform
ola Servian general and meets the eyes
of all whom ne passes with look that
is pathetic.

Visit baby's realms unsought.
