have your favor of the Goth and
note what you say that the Commercial Club

thing radically wrong with the census re-
turns from that city, and that they desire

y3n desire to have recount of the city OF
Wt!jmar- have only this to say am salts.
neg that the count for your city is as correct
asit is possible to make a count, and that
believe there was no objections to any of the
enumerators who were appointed to do the
work; that they were well endorsed and well
city of W1llmar is not satisfied with the
count, but, under the circumstances, do not
j think 1t would be advisable to order re.
count at this time, as I am of the opinion
that II recount was made and only bona
tide residents of Willmar enumerated that
substantiated: We have issued q bulletin for
your county including the city of Willmar
and have made the same public, and this

Mrs. J. D. DeLange OF Raymond
was taken to the Fergus Falls hospi.
tal for the insane last Thursdsy in
charge of her husband and A. j. Lar
son, OF Raymond. Mrs. DeLsnge
was examined and found insane on
May 4, and she was then for the second
time committed to the hospital, the
fret time being in 1901. Her case
seemed to be mild one and after
only q few weeks treatment she was
sent home on parole. A short time
ago symptoms of insanity again began
to develop, however, and as she could
not receive the care and attention
needed at home it was finally decided
that she be returned to the hospital
and this was done. ,>:.

God in his mercy has recalled,
The bloom his love has given;
Al though thy body noulders here
Thy soul is safe in heaven.
We miss thee from our home dear,
We miss thee from thy place;
We miss thy kind and loving heart.
We miss the sur hine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hanI,
We miss thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Thy hands are clasp upon thy breast,
Thy warm true heart is till.

WORLDS SMALLEST ENGINE
1t Rests Entirely on Five Cent
Piece.

II hesIs EnLlrely on five Gent
Piece.
The smallest stationary engine
in the world, as far as its maker
can learn, rests entirely on five
cent piece. It is owned and was
made by John II. Cunningham,
a jeweler of Eaton. which is a
small town 10 miles north of
Muncie. Cunningham has fad
for making miniature machin-
cry.
The little engine operates at a
remarkable rate of speed under a
pound of steam. So small are
some of the parts that magnify
ing glass is necessary to make a
proper examination of them. The
screws that hold the parts to-
gether are made from needles,
the threads being SO fine as to
defy the naked eye. The screws
are fraction of a millimeter in
diameter. The fiywheel meas
ures about three -eights of an inch
in diameter. 1t was turned from
steel by Cunningham, who says
it is the largest wheel that the
engine will turn.
The engine has one-sixteenth
of an inch stroke, the cylinder
head measures one-eighth of an
inch in diameter, while the cap
ped cylinder head measures a
fourth of an inch. The striking
boxes are packed with lint scrap
ed from silk thread, cotton being
toe. coarse for the purpose.
Cunningham cannot estimate
the power of the Ie-contrlv-
ance whose steam is generated in
a boiler made from a hand BIZ
cycle pump and heated by a gas
Ijet. The engine thus far has
never been able to overcome
greater resistance than that fur
nished by the fywheel.
The engine was first built on a
f1ve-cent piece, and Cunningham
mas now mounted the coin and
engine on a small stand. The
piping of the engine is a small
copper wire drilled out in the
center and running to the boiler
which is several times the size
and weight of the engine.-Min-
