Special TO the NezUS.
Seeing in your columns a request
from "Coperas Breeches' = that Uncle
Joe borrow some paper and pencil
and write few words to the News,
have decided to proceed as he suggest
ed and have been successful SO far and
have some hopes that my letter Will
miss the waste basket as the editor has
been kind enough in the days gone to
allow me space.
Bro. "Coperas Breeches" we are
still living and doing the best we can
which is nothing to boast OF. l don t
think we need to be in Flag Pole
Mountains to get a fresh air outing. L
would rather be where the weather
would suit old clothes, and very few.
I have met "Coperas Breeches" many
times in my travels and would be glad
to.meet him any time if he had time
to talk and.syou don't often find hlm
prepared in any other manner He has
drawn many designs on the trestle
board and, with timely advice, found
his way out of confusion, but he, as
we'll as Uncle Joe, is fast approaching
the country from whose bourn no trav-
elor returns, and when we can no long
er remain on this terrestrial abode,
may the great God of the universe
take charge of our immortal souls
and reward us for the sake OF bis
Son with the badge of those who have
been patient while the house was in
building.
A few words to those who are in
dulging in disrespectful letters to each
other: I believe the public is very
well acquainted with the situation
and that continuance of such works
more harm than good to all parties con
cerned, the editor not excepted. II

AS the carriage of the dead

home all that was left us of one
who had grown dear to our
hearts during his long illness, I
went into the room, thinking I
would find it vacant, to take

tears coursing down his cheeks,
holding in his hand tiny flag.

We followed the flag; we loved
it."
I drew the glass back and the
old soldier gave the military sa-

Sweet girls of fairest face,

And do a lost of things.
They laugh the tiresome hours away
Upon the feetest wings.

To make club like ours

"OLD LADIES' HOME"

Mrs. Laura Ernest, representing the Vine
vile Kings Daughters, honored us with a call
Yesterday. She was in Fitzgerald for only day
and solicited aid for the odd Ladies' Home"
chartered by the Kings Daughters, of Vinevllle.
Mrs. Nellie K. Troutman is the president of
this organization of noble women whose purpose
it is to care for helpless old ladies who are so
unfortunate as not to have suitable home, and
at last to give them decent christian burial
The Old Ladies' Home, under the auspices
of the Vineville Kings Daughters, is just four
months old and has five inmates representing
four denominations.
Mrs. Nellie Keen Troutman, president, is a
most determined worker and under her manage
ment the home is in thriving condition, but
must get into permanent quarters. The Home
is chartered for fifty years and should appeal to
all Christian people.
After life of toll and care, standing on the
verge of the grave, should we not deny ourselves
those dear old people from labor and sorrow.
The oath of this month will be an reception
day at the Home to all who go to Macon to
visit it. Those who do not visit it send IN
loving reminder to the Exchange Bank, for the
Old Ladies' Home.

Office as the administration organ by accusing
us of rejecting on the Mayors administration"
The Leader, of which the mayor is business
manager and part owner, is welcome to the
title. We are not in the organ business. But
the mayor will have to change his tactics before
we say one word rejecting his administra-
ton"
No sane man ever believed we had. On the
contrary we have been first and foremost in
commentator of his official acts.
But,
Mr.. Mayor,
Mr.. Leader, and
Dear reader, his very first act that is not in
accordance with our conception OF his Official
duty will entitle him to one of our lambastlngs
that will make him regret that he ever sought
the Office We promised that the very day that
we reioiced at his election, to which we con-
tributed one ballot and our most faithful efforts.
Yes, dear Leader, you may be the organ"
If you like, 1--WE don't fancy the job but we had
too much to do with the mayors election and
think too much of him personally and officially,
TO be disturbed by your claim.

Mr. w. D. Upshaw was in the city short
while yesterday. He was on his way to For
syth from Rodman, Fla, where he had spent a
week in a meeting. Mr.. Upshaw will start a

ROASTS THE NEWSPAPERS.
Winnebago Man Hands Something
Awful to Fairmont Sentinel.

FROM thursday 5 Ddily.
The Fairmont Sentinel confesses that
it is hard thing for Il paper to please
everybody in the matter of merely
giving the county news. The following
letter was received Tuesday night and
as The Sentinel is always DESTROYS of
being fair and giving all parties hear
ing, and as the epistle was evidently
intended for publication, we give it a
place in the paper just as written:

TOOK A LONG WALK.
Patient Who Escaped From Insane
Hospital at St. Peter.

From Thursdays Daily.
Between seven and eight o'clock We'd
nesday morning j. w. Daniels, while do
ing his chores, observed tall man look
ing intently at A. Fancher's barn near
the Lake shore says The Fairmont Sen
tinel. He suspected that it might be
Merton Fancher, who was here over a
week ago and it was believed would
doubtless return, and kept watch until
finally the stranger walked away a few
steps and threw himself down upon the
lake shore. Mr.. Daniels then went over
and spoke to the man who answered
civilly and intelligently. He was still
uncertain as to whether it was Merton
as he had not seen him for fifteen years
and he wore long hair and whiskers.
Mr.. A. Fancher soon came out to his
barn and of course at once recognized
his son and took him to the house for
needed warmth and breakfast.
The writer had a pleasant visit with
the wanderer. In fact the two were al
ways good friends when both worked
upon The Sentinel about twenty years
ago. Merton talks freely and gives a
full account of his travels since the
night of the Sth when he returned and
unobserved threw letter into the hall
way of his fathers house, after having
walked here from the st. Peter hospital
He says he walked from here to
Worthington, from there to Sibley,
Iowa, then to Armstrong, on to Brice-
Ign, thence to Blue Earth, and on Tues
day morning decided to return to Fair
mont but getting on to the wrong rail
way track walked to Winnebago instead.
He did not get discouraged when the
mistake was discovered but started on
foot for Fairmont, arriving here late he
slept in Mr.. Cackeldy's straw pile the
balance of the night and in the morning
came back to his pleasant old home on
the banks of Lake Sisseton where he
spent his happy youth and early man
hood.

FELL FROM HORSE DEAD.
Archie Knight Died Suddenly at Min
nesota Lake Wednesday.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Archie Knight, only son of A. J.
Knight of East MapletOn died at Min
nesota Lake, last Wednesday, the result
of fall from a horse. The accident
occurred in front of labels store and
those who witnessed it are of the Opin-
ion that the boy was taken with a faint
ing spell and fell from the horse as the
animal was standing still in the center
of the road and made no effort which
would have thrown the boy to the
ground. When picked up and carried in
to the drug store it was apparent that
the young man had died of heart disease
and that he was dead before he struck
the ground. The boy has been subject
to heart disease for number of years
but has been better of late. 1t is more
than likely that the violent exercise of
horseback riding was more than he could
stand and as a result he was taken with
an attack while in the saddle and pass
ed away. As soon as the muscles re-
Taxed he fell to the ground and what
appeared to be an accident was death
from natural causes.

BUT TWO DEER PER HUNTER.
One New Provision Of the Game Law;
Other information.

From Thursdays Daily.
There has been much inquiry, of late,
relative to the game laws that are now
in force. and whether the law adopted
at the last session of the legislature
(known as the "Walthour Game Law")
makes any radical changes in former
laws.
The season for hunting big game is
the same as last year-opening on Nov.
10th and continuing until Nov. 3Oth.
However, but two deer can be killed by
any one person, while the former allow
ance was three. The law relative to
shipping of game, having in possession,
etc., is the same as formerly. License
is required to hunt big game, the same
as heretofore, the price being 81, license
to be procured from the county auditor;
but in the matter of small game IL
cense. the license blank also includes big
game, at the same price as was required
for big game license-$1. No game,
either big or little, can be sold or offered
for sale, provision which is regarded
by the majority of people as unjust.
At the last session of the legislature,
the general statutes were amended so as
to include in the crime of manslaughter,
the shooting of a person mistaken for
deer or other animal.
Whitefsh may be Melted from Nov.
10 to Dec. 10, but only when application
has been made to the board of game
and fish commissioners therefor, such
application to state that the party de-
string the permit intends to catch the
fish for his own use, and not for the
purpose of selling to anyone. The size
of net that may be used must not
be over four feet in width, 200 feet long,
and the meshes of said net shall not be
less than three and one-half inches in
size of mesh when the same is extended.
Violations of this law will subject the
offender to penalty of $40 for every
fish illegally caught, or ten days in Jail
for each fish, the fine not to exceed
$1,000 or one year in jail

From Rival Bakers.

The libel suit of Il. Roebke, formerly
of North Mankato, VS.. l.. T. and F. w.
Farver, bakers of st. Peter, came on at
the present term of the district court in
Nicollet county, but was settled. Rookie,
who is also engaged in the bakery bust
ness at st. Peter, claimed that he was
libeled by an advertisement which the
Marvers inserted in the ST. Peter Her
aid, and brought suit for $1,000 dam
ages. The Farvers retracted the state
ments made, and by the terms of the
settlement they pay 500 to Roebke. w.
r. & C. d. Geddes are the attorneys
for Rookie, and Davis & Olson are those
for the defendants.
