Runaway Down Hill.
From Mondays Daily,

What might have proved bad run
away occurred last evening on the Silver
ravine road. Al Durling, Mrs. Ida Rea
and Mabel Brossard were in buggy, to
which heavy team was attached. The
neck yoke broke, letting the pole down,
and the buggy ran against the horses,
frightening them. They ran into the
gutter, there breaking loose from the
buggy and dashing on. The occupants
of the buggy were slightly bruised, as
the vehicle went over on its side.

of the ceunty associations within the
state ratify the plan of the executive
commiStee, that plan will be put into
effect.
The question of good roads was dis
c9ssed at considerable length but the
convention as body took no action on
the matter. The consensus of opinion
was however, that large percentage OF
the roads over which the carriers must
travel are by no means what they
ought to be, and that the carriers ought
to make use of the law which gives them
the right of stopping and going back,
whenever they come to any places in the
road that are not what may reasen-
ably be called passabe.
w. Ii. Dunbar of fsanti dwelt very
strongly upon this point. The rural
people, he declared, cannot bear to be
deprived of their daily mail, when they
have once gotten into the habit of re-
ceiyine it. To leave them without their
mail for day OF two, he thought, would
speedily induce them to fix up any bad
place in the road. The carrier is not
obliged by law to get out of his wagon
and wade through the snow.
Others spoke of the farce of the la
Dor road tax, and earnestly favored the
abolition of the labor tax altogether,
and the substitution of an exclusively
money tax, the old remedy that has
been urged at good roads conventions,
time and time again.
George Flynn of The Minneapolis
Tribune gave the carriers a very pleas
ing address that was well appreciated
and heartily applauded. He said en-
phatically that the good roads PROPOSE
tion was up to the carriers themselves.
There are alreary enough laws on the
statute books to bring about the desired
result, if these laws are taken advantage
of and enforced. Any letter carrier, who
finds the road over which he must travel
in bad condition, should turn around and
90 back and report the same to his
postoffice. If the authorities do, their
duty, the road will either be made
passable, or the route will be changed
in such way as to deprive the people
along the bad road of the privileges of
free rural delivery.
Mr. Flynn held out encouraging hopes
that the pay of the rural carriers would
be increased by congress, when that body
meets after the election is over. Just
before an election, he said, the party in
power is always very economical in
making appropriations to increase any
body's pay. The reason is clear. The
other party will use this as an argument
against the party that makes the in
crease in pay, and accuse that party of
extravaganza with the public money.
After the election is over, this barrier
to the increase of the pay of the letter
carriers will be removed.
In addition to the list of delegates, as
published in last Saturday nights
Free Press, the following came into the
convention: E. III. Pentz of Faribault;
W. III. Koch of Utica; and T. d. Seward
of Zumbrota.

]. H. GREENWOOD DEAD.

Residence in the County.

From tuesdays Daily.
James III. Greenwood died Sunday at
$3.50 a. m. He was operated upon at the
Rochester hospital last month and came
home and entered st. Joseph's hospital,
where he was cared for until his death.
Mr.. Greenwood was seventy-one years
of age, and had resided in Blue Earth

Their west.
The deceased was we'll known to the
older residents, and gained some promi-
hence at the time of the building of the
present court house. He was member
of the Christian church, and had many
friends and acquaintance who will re-
gret his death. He was active for one
of his years, often being seen riding his
bicycle through the streets.
Short funeral services will be held
tomorrow at 10 a. M. from the residence,
ll6 North Broad street, and the remains
will then be taken to Garden City for
burial, services being held at the Chris
tian church there at 1870 o'clock.

How to Destroy Cut Worms.
From Saturdays Daily.

Prof. Washburn, state entomologist,
says cut worms are very destructive this
spring and that one way to trap them
is to lay strips of shingles or pieplant
leaves at frequent intervals near the
plants you wish to save. In the morning
the worms are pretty sure to be found
hiding under them. Old tomato cans
with tops and bottoms removed and
pressed into the earth around the plant
to the depth of two and one half inches
will save the plant. Put three spoonfuls
of Paris green in gallon of water. Dip
in it small bundles of clover and lay
around plants where worms are sus-
pected. The poison is slow to act and re-
suits must not be expected Immediately.
A petition was filed in the probate
court today for administration of the

TROLLEY CARS ~
WORKED OVERTIME

There was lots of noise on West
Main street last night and at times the
confusion was so great many Of the
neighbors got out of their beds to see
what it was all about. The excite
ment was caused by the presence on
the street Of several dump carts and
other paraphernalia belonging to Fred
T. Ley & Co, the firm that has. the
contract for the Cheshire trolley ex-
tension. all of which were taken to
the end of the East Main street line on
fiat cars after midnight. Nfghthawks
who were about the streets when the
strange looking sight passed through
Exchange place and who didn't hap
pen to think of what was going on OUT
east didn't know what to make OF it,
while people on South Willow and
West Main streets breathed easier and
went to sleep after the truck" as one
of them termed it, was moved off the
street and the commotion ceased.
