army of Bonaparte. He was taken
prisoner by Wellington at Waterloo
and sent to Canada, where he remained
until his exchange. He Immediately
removed to Athena, N. Y, where he
married. Young Henry, at the age of
fourteen years, moved to Lewis county,

supervisors.
He came to Minnesota in 1884 and
purchased 600 acres of farming land in
the township of Ashley, and 200 acres
of timber in Kandota. He turned the
Ashley tract into three good farms,
which he improved and worked, bring
ing them up to an excellent state of
cultivation making good profit every
year for ten years when he sold all his
landed possessions and retired, pur-
chasing home in this city, where he
has since resided. Mrs. Barnett died

A Successful Rummaae Sale

The Methodist ladies held a very
successful rummage sale last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday in the K.
P. hall. It was the best patronized
of any sale they have held for several
years. The total receipts amounted
to $20S.
Everybody worked hard and faith
fully. The public supported the af-
fair. The lunches were splendidly
patronized, everyone feeling that he
got value received.
Altogether the ladies feel exceedingly
we'll pleased at the outcome. They
are somewhat perplexed to know what
to do with so much money, but will
endeavor to find some place for most
of it.

Prosecution Dropped.


Aspecial from Sank Centre Tuesday
morning says that for some reason,
not apparent on the surface, when the
case of the State against Otto Gamrod
charged by ]. Havermont with unlaw-
fully attempting to drain the waters OF
Cedar Lake into a marsh, was called
before Judge Wilcox, it was announced
that the prosecution had been dropped
and it was requested that the case be
dismissed. The court accordingly

As I Heard it Over the Phone

Hello! Central, give me 189-
Hello! Is this the Sank Lake
Creamery Co.?
Yes.
When are you going to pay for
October butter?
We always pay the Goth of the
month. That is, we pay for October
butter the Goth of November.
How much are you going to pay per
pound for October butter?
Twenty-Five cents.
Well, why don't you pay oftener?
Because it takes until the Goth of
the following month for the returns
OF the last shipment of the previous
month to reach here from New York,
and we do not know what price per
pound we can pay until all the re-
turns are in. If we were manufacture
ing your butter for profit we would
make up our minds just how much
we were going to hold you up for as
soon as we received your cream, but
we return every cent to you less rum
ming expenses. Can you expect any
private concern to do this?
Where do you take your cream?
To cold storage.
What did they pay you for October
butter fat?
] received 10 cents for the first half
and 70 cents for the last half, making
an average of 1917 cents for the month.
Ha! ha! ha! And we will pay %
cents. Don't you think it would be
good interest on your money to wait
until the Goth? We always have
money on hand and will advance you
as much as you can get at any center
location plant and give you the balance
the Goth of each month.

The correspondence between Judson

was over the prosecution of officers Of

cept the recommendation of the special
counsel that these officers should be
indicted. In their first letter to Mr..
Moody, dated February q, Harmon and
Judson declare that no immunity from
prosecution can be claimed for any
officer of either company, ana this, OF
course, included Paul Morton; although
he IS not mentioned By name.

It was in reply to the foregoing letter

mitting that the report os he Interstate
