stockholders PROFIT
MINI. Central Telephone Co. Holds
Its Annual Meetins...Declares
Ten per cent Dividend.

As q result of the business transact
ed during the past year, the Min
nesota Central Telephone Company
will distr lbute the amount of s28, 500
as dividend among its stockholders.
At the announced meeting held last
week q dividend of ten per cent was
declared and the stockholders will
share in these surplus earnings March
lst.
The annual meeting of this company
was held on Tuesday afternoon Of
last week at the Office of President
Tallman In this city and the officers
reports showed q splendid condition
Of fairs, Gross earnings for the
year were shown as amounting to
Sl03, ,382.82, and the net earnings $685.
1872 68, an increase in net earnings
over the previous year of S1 ,038 II.
It was reported that the Minnesota
Central had expendid during the year
in additions, extensions and better
ments to property and plant the sum
of $5l, l26 81. The treasurer's report
shows the amount of the total assets
of the company at the end of the fiscal
year as S744, 924. 4.32.
100 miles of toll lines are now own
ed and operated by this company, be-
sides 26 telephone exchanges, with
$500 regular subscribers. 40 miles of
copper wire and 1863 miles of iron wire
were added during the past year.
There is an increase of 800 in the num-
Der OF patrons of exchanges.
It may be interesting to the public
to know that the yearly expense of the
Company for the two items alone Of
postage and printing reached So, 232.-
43, while the pay roll to employees,
not including amounts paid for con-
struction work, was s25, 446 81. These
are only few facts which 20 to show
the Importance Of the company as a
business institution for this city.
The board OF directors selected for
the coming year is as follows: D. N.
Tallman, L. o. Thorpe, Andrew Lar
son and John Williams, of Willm al; !;
J. L. Schoch and c. q. Dirke, of
New Ulm; W. 81. burst, of Minneapo-
lis. The following officers were re-
elected for another year: D. N. Tall
man, president and treasurer; J. l..
schoch, vice president; John Will
tams, secretary.
We doubt If there is any business
enterprise in Willmar that ia enjoy
ing q more profitable business than
the Minnesota Central. While the
company is spending considerable
amount in the way of improvements
and additions, from time to time, It Is
fully compensated in the rapidly in-
cressing earning capacity. The rec
ord made from small beginning TO a
business of such large proportions is
one in which the company takes no
small degree of pride.

BOYS IN AN ACCIDENT.
Wagon Turned Over nnd Four Young
 Men HUrt.


 Gadsden. Aug. 15.-(Special)-A serious accident occurred some two miles below Gadsden Saturday after noon about 6 o'clock. in which four boys were seriously hurt and one per haps fatally.
 Harrington and Alexander Greet. sons of Alexander Greet, Joe Price. son of James Price. John Riley. son of John Riley and Sam Hughes were in a one horse wagon on their way to the city with a wagon load of jugs filled with water from Mint Springs for delivery to their customers. As the horse came down a slight hin the holding back strap broke and the horse began 70 run when the wagon ran on him. The boys grabbed for the lines and with two boys pulling on each line the horse ran into a ditch and turned the wagon over. throwing all of them out. John Riley was severely cut on the face and his body bruised all over and he is in a bad way. but nothing seri- ous. Jo Price had his left thigh broken in two places. just above the knee and again close to his body, he Is also bruised all over his body Far rington and Alexander Greet were both terribly bruised all over the body and Harrington was knocked senselcss and remained so for some time.

of these boys are badly hurt in theiF backs and are unable to move in bed Sam Morange escaped without a scratch and was so badly frightened that he jumped and ran all the way home, a distance of two miles.
 The accident occurred within a few pards of Elliott's canning factory. Workmen ran out when they saw the wagon turn over, picked up the sense- less boys and carried them into the factory and telephoned for the city ambulance and doctors Both arrived in a remarkably short time and the boys were given attention and brought home as soon as possible.
 All the boys are about 12 years old and playmates and were in the habit of going daily to the spring for water and this is the first accident they have ever had. Where the wagon turned over the road is rough and deep ditch runs alongside the road and 1t Is a wonder that the accident was not more serious one.
 The boys are all members or proni- nent families here At this writing they are resting as well as could De expected and 1t is not thought that any of them will take serious turn' although the Grett boys are in serl- ous condition.

 felt horribly sorry for Katherine when Landry died. It must have been an awful blow, for she seemed to lose every bit of her spirit and went about pale and listless for months.
 You see, Landry was a fine fellow. an unusual fellow. I don't believe there was a selfish fiber in the mans whole makeup. He was essentially Sig hearted and Iovable. Homely in feature to positive ugliness. he was still attractive in appearance. He was famous in a small way as the author of certain delicate love sketches, very tender and dainty in sentiment. and so unlike him as to seem inconsistent with what we knew of his character. A right jolly good fellow. with plenty of sense and a cheerful lot of brains under his sandy poll.
 He and Kit had been engaged for a long time, and knew that he fairly quiet about it. felt a mild sort of envy. for I had never plumbed the depths of love myself. I'd had my little affairs, but I always hated my self during their progress, because I couldn't really feel-I was only amused and entertained. never touched. My friendship with Kit was the only real sentiment of my life. for we had been like brother and sister for ten years. Ever since she had begun to yearn for long skirts and put her pig tails up int othe crown of womanly dignity Whenever Landry was away I took his place at her side. and jolly good times we had. and many of them.
 A few months before Landry's death Kit seemed to change some way. She took to incoming about for all the world like disappointed lover. Lan- dry. too. went into the dumps. He grew thin and pale and more imper sonal than ever. He was very tender with Katherine. and so I knew that it was no lovers quarrel that was wear. ing on them. She sort of cIung to him as though she felt him slipping from her, and I've sometimes thought since that she must have had a premonition of what was coming.

 They think that this would be fair and right as 1t would be quite trouble some and expensive to the candidates to hold another primary and by the time 1t could be held cotton would be opening and the farmers so busy that very small vote would be polled
