CHICKENS HERE
GREAT POULTRY SHOW OPENS IN
THE OLD CITY HALL.
Those Familiar with Such Exhibits Say
+ 1t Is One of the Best, If Not the
Best, Ever Seen-Birds by the
Thousand.

He whose ear is not attuned to

week, for a cock-and-pullet, goose

annual exhibit of the Minnesota State
Poultry association opened this morn
ing.
In twenty-five rooms are 1900
chickens, hundreds of pigeons with
family trees large enough to shelter
half the birds on exhibition, dozens of
geese, and a fair sprinkling OF many
other feathered folk.
The annual exhibit gives promise
of being bigger and better than any
thing heretofore attempted by the as

Among the barnyard fowl was the
huge sixty-pound turkey, a product Of

Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 13.-W. H.
Tackett a member Of q land company
at Bloomfield, Neb., is touring Mani
toba on still hunt for certain Indians
who are the heirs to land in the south.
The company Mr.. Tackett represents
has prchased quantity of land from
the United States government which
belongs to Indians who are now in
Manitoba. The original owners hav-
ing died, the government sold the
lands and Tackett is looking for the
heirs to pay the money to them and
get them to sign the title deeds. 0
The Indians refuse to sign the deeds
because they imagine that if they do
so they will be transported across the
line and will there be tortured and
killed. The Canadian government
cannot help in the matter, as the In
dams are Sioux and are not treaty In
dams.
The land in question was given to
the Indians after the massacre in Min
nesota in 1862 and at that time was
comparatively valueless.

LAD WHILE DRUNK.

Special to The Journal.
St. Cloud, Mimi, Jan. 13.--Louis
Lemmer, brother ~of the parish piest
at Holding, this county. last night
shot and almost killed John Hanni-
gan, young son of a, farmer.
The boys were attending a dance
and Lemmer was crazy drunk. He
had no acquaintance whatever with
Hannigan, but, approaching him,
showed a revolver in his face and re-
marked: I'm from Missouri and you
must show me- He fired the weapon
at the same instant, the bullet entering
the nostril and lodging apparently at
the base Of the brain. Hannigan was
brought to a hospital in this city and
is in critical condition. His assail-
ant gave himself up.
Lemmer is from wisconsin, and says
he carried the revolver for protection
against wolves. He says he has no
recollection Of shooting until Hanni-
gan fell fainting in his arms.

Trenton, N. j.. Jan. 13.-Governor
Murphy, in his annual message to the
legislature, which met yesterday,
calls attention to the increasing num-
Der of advertising signs near railway
lines and expresses the hope that some
means may be devised not only to pre-
vent their further increase, but to
remove those already in existence. He
says:
On the leading line of railway between
Jersey City and Trenton there were in
December 1901 signs. They are dis
figured with all sorts of effigies Of impos-
sible men and women, and they advertise
remedies for all the ills that human flesh
Z is heir to, as well as all sorts Of foods and
drinks and all the various contrivances
born of human ingenuity.
If they continue to increase it is not
difficult to imagine the day near at hand
when the traveller will have the beautiful
hills and wales and trees and flowers
shut completely from view, and will pass
thru a continuous and unbroken lane of
sign boards that will trouble his nights
and days with suggestions of things that
are disagreeable.

MINER HIT

Many a rugged constitution has
broken down by use of coffee:
Il and my son are miners and have
been strong coffee drinkers. L will add
followed mining for fifty years. Near
ly three years ago my son had palpi-
tation of the heart so bad that after
a hard day s7work he would be almost
unable to get his breath when lying
down, and I was a victim of consti-
patton, headache and could not sleep
soundly.,
SO pulled up stakes one day and
started to see a doctor. and curiously
enough an old acquaintance / met on
the way steered me off. We stopped
and talked and told each other all
the news, and I told him about our
troubles. He said it was coffee do
ling the work and that using Postum
in place of coffee cured him of al
most exactly the ailments described.
$50 instead of going to the doctors
sent for some Postum, although I
did not have much faith in it, but
to my great JOY it turned out all
right, and after. we quit coffee COM
pletely we both began to get we'll,
kept it up and are now both of us
tstrongs we'll men, with none of the
| old troubles. A miner is supposed to
| be able to stand great hardships, but
| ing u.s. Anyone following the direc-
lions on the package of Postum will
have far better drink than he can
get. from the best coffee.
IT think every coffee topper should
know Postum will cure him of his
ailments besides it is such a refresh
| ing drink" Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Coffee hurts nearly all who drink
1 it and soaks some people very hard.
There is a sure way out of the trouble
! by quitting coffee and using Postum.
And there's. a reason.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 13.-When Pres
ident Roosevelt was in. Grand Island,
Neb., last summer. he wore SLOUGH
hat. which excited the admiration Of
the veterans at the old soldiers home.
They continued to talk about that hat
during the summer and fall, and eff
forts were made by them to procure
it from the president as a memento of
his visit to Grand Island. But the
efforts were futile at the time.
When Judge Norris went to con-

the old soldiers requested him to call
on the president to try to get the COW

Judge Norris called upon the president
yesterday and told him of the desire
of the veterans. Mr.. Roosevelt
smiled and hunted up the old hat and
gave it to the congressman, who i'm
mediately sent it to the Grand Island
