August Shaurer.
From Friday's Daily.

On Saturday last, just as the day was
drawing to close, August Shaurer, one
of our aged and respected citizens pass
ed over the dark river of death. Mr.
Shaurer was born March 9Th, 1884, in
the province of Posin, Germany, and was
therefore a little over seventy years of
age. The deceased was twice married,
his first wife dying in the old country,
leaving four children, one of whom, Chas.
Shaurer, formerly lived at this place. Mr.
Shaurer was married again in 1872, and
was the father of nine children by his
second wife, five boys and four girls.
OF this family the boys have all passed
away. The daughters left to mourn the
loss of a true and devoted father are
Mrs. Augusta Healey, of Butler, Indiana;
Mrs. William Leui, Mankato; Mrs. Ed.
Johnson and Mrs. Thomas Williams of
this place.
Mr. Shaurer had been in poor health
for nearly year, but it was
not until three weeks before his death
that he was compelled to take to his
bed. A few months ago he consulted DR..
Mayo at Rochester, who diagnosed his
trouble as cancer of the stomach, and
held out no hope for relief.
The deceased was a man of kind, gen.
ial ways and whenever he had found en-
ployment he found friends, it being his
desire to do what was right at all times.
The funeral was held from the Lutheran
church on Monday, Rev. Karl Kilian Of
floating. The attendance at the flu
neral was large indicating that the old
gentleman had friends in all circles of
life.-Mapleton Enterprise.

Taras.
The police department of MankatO

who is wanted has been secured. He is
about five feet, four inches tall, and
wore brown coat. corduroy trousers
and cap with a torn band and two
buckles on the band.
The police have been searching the
railway yards and watching the various
trains for the man, as it is thought that
he might have started for Chicago,

Alaska Fruits.

It is probable that most of the ba- nanas and pineappIes used in Alas ka will for sometime necessarily have to be imported, ,:bnt:there is no doubt whatever that many of the staple small fruits, and even some of the earlier and more hardy varieties of apples will grow we'll in certain locali- ties. Currants, raspberries, goose berries, dwarf huckleberries, blue berries, seedless cranberries, salmon berries, and some other varieties of small fruits yare'foa6d more or less all over Alaska Snd in2some places in great profusioh. In places on the Cook Inletphains many of these yarie- ties of small -fraits are found in the same loGaliEyss The low bush blue berries, rising only six inches to foot above the moss, are so plentiful in places that they keep the shoes of the miners stained with their juice. In the same locality is found remarkable eurrant, large oblong red currant, nearly half an inch in length, the clusters fully five inches long. Where the habitat of such fruit is found is it not sufficient reason for believing that all similar fruits will thrive we'll there under skillful management.
 It is not reported that wild plums have been found in Alaska, but in many of the states with similar climate they grow in abundance. A plum or ehard near Omaha contains about 100 varieties of plums, all indigenous tothe middle West. The climate of Cook inlet is milder than Ne braska, northern Iowa and Minnesota, so probably most these varieties would do we'll if intro duced there, and so it will be found from experience and experiments that many varieties of fruits indigenous to other lands will flourish we'll when in- troduced in Alaska.
 Dall says of the Yukon valley: Small fruits abound in the greatest profusion. Among them may be noted red and black entrants, gooseberries, raspber- ries, cranberries, thimbleberries, sal mon berries, killikinikberries, blue berries, bearberries, dewberries, service berries, mossberries and roseberries. This last mentioned fruit,>of Rosa Gin namomena, when touched by frost, makes pleasant berry for the table, it not being dry but sweet and juicy. From many of these berries the most piquant and delicious preserves are prepared by the Russians.-From Pa cifc Monthly. Copyrighted by o. M. Moore.

Some of the transportation com panies carrying on business between Seattle and Nome have protested to the postofice department against the prac. tice of permitting the shipment of gold dust and bullion in registered packages through the mails. The pro test applies, of course, only to ship ments in packages weighing more than four pounds, that weight being the limit prescribed by the postal regula- tions for all matter sent by mail. The transportation companies assert that single gold bricks valued at from S50,- GOO to S125,000, and weighing many pounds, have been sent from Nome to Seattle by mail, and that the practice has been winked at by the postmaster at Nome. The companies wish to have the four-pound regulation enforced.
