The standing of the Surety Fund
Life Insurance Co. of Minneapolis,
has been very carefully examined into
by the majority of the members OF
the library board, and the company
has good standing with the insurance
department of the state. This is the
company which has offered to give
Sc for every 81 900 worth of insurance
written here to the library fund, and
the library board are anxious that
100000 worth be written here, as
the library fund would thus be richer
by $500. Solicitors will be here in a
few days to begin writing the insur-
aace, and 1t is hoped that the people
of Morris will respond literally to- a
proposition that is SO much to their
own hapefit

WORKED LONGFOR NAUGHT.
JoENsoN's SAVINGS OF TEN
YEARS LOST BY RAILROAD AC-
CIDENT ~ NOW "A CRIPPLED
s'VAG.n

After working hard for ten years try
ing to save enough money to buy a
farm, John johnson appeared in police
court this morning and confessed that
he was q vagrant. He was sent to
the workhouse for thirty days.
Ten years ago johnson came from
Sweden to win q home in America. Year
after year he worked in the lumber
camps in the winter and on the rail-
roads in summer, saving every penny
possible. He did not drink and he was
seldom idle.
About year ago he went to South
Dakota, intending to make the first pay
on the railroad tracks he Was Mes Stuck a " By
a train. An instant later he was one
legged man. He was taken to hospi-
tai and when his limb was healed he
did not have a penny to his name.
From that time johnson has wandered
about the country, almost too. dis,
encouraged to live He is incapacitated
for work and there is no calling that he
can follow other than that of a beggar
for his daily bread.
Life is dark for me, said johnson
today, "and ] don It care what becomes
Of me. / have no relatives, no friends,
and all my hopes Of some time having
home Of my own are gone. All l can
see before me is a life in warehouses OF
poorhouses. What is the use Of living,

GATHERED |! ] IN l By
The CUBAN ARMY
MINNEAPOLIS MAN "A MILITARY
PRISONER IN HAVANA.
He Unwittingly strayed Too Close to
Some Military Works Under Con-
struction and Was Hustled Of to
the Bastile- Suspicious Cubans
Thought that He Was Spy.

Life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness are thoroly guarded and with
Jealous eve by the soldiers of the new
Cuban. republic. This Jealous idea of
feSentlng encrOachemnt led to all sorts
of embarrassment for a Minneapolitan
last week.
John Landers of the firm Of Landers,
in the Lumber Exchange, is said to have
been the victim of the Cuban constabu-
larry. The news came in the form Of a
barbed wire special from Havana, and
when Landers reaches Minneapolis he
will have the time of his life explaining
the incident to his friends.
According to report Landers was
lstrolling about Havana and looking
over the Improvements. He is a con-
construction work is as alluring TO him
as is a one-ring circus to a country boy.
Noting some building, Landers is re-
ported to have strolled over to see how
it was DONE. tGSza
No sooner had he approached the
building that Landers was confronted
by company of chocolate-colored SOL
diers, who laid violent hands upon him
and started to hustle him he knew not
where. &EEt#s
ssUnhand: me! Cheese it!' COM
manded the indignant victim.
English had no effect upon his cap
tors. $: Making heroic effort Landers
called to mind his Spanish vocabulary.
"Mankato! Anoka! Colorado ma
dura! ~ he exclaimed with stress of
enunciation. #t9 #
"Pim-olas!. Sacramento! Dammit, -
protested the irate victim to no pur-
pose. #&S&
Chronicles have it that the Minneapol-
itan, mad as a wet hen, was hurried to
a Cuban bastile and there incarcerated
in duress vile until his brother-in- law,
long resident of Havana and Span
ish student, brought liberal vocabu-
Larry to the assistance Of the prisoner
and he was liberated with apologies af-
ter three hours. Ga
Then it developed that Landers had
unwittingly trespassed upon military
reserve where barracks were in the
course of erection and had been taken
for q spy. For manifest reasons it will
probably be hard to interview Mr..
Landers on his return, and give his ex-
act and forceful opinions Of the Gu
bans in general and the constables in
particular. -.

FOR LAKE LINE.
PROMOTER SEEKS FRANCHISE AT
EXCELSIOR.
He Wants Extensive Rights for Build
ing and Operating Trolley Lines in
the Village Which Seem Well Dis
posed Toward His Project-Lake
Line Situation Complicated.

Another factor has appeared in the
suburban trolley situation, and the two
companies already in the field are some
what disturbed.
has formally applied to the village
council of Excelsior for an exclusive
franchise to construct and operate cleo
tric lines within the village. The APP
plication will come before the council
at its next meeting and President 9.
w. Sampson iyquoted to the effect that
the franchise will probably be granted.
The. Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany has made surveys to Excelsior
and has increased its power equipment
partially for the purpose of putting on
even gone SO far as to acquire right
such time as it is thofoly satisfied that
the business will warrant an extension.
The other prospective bidder for the
Minnetonka business is the Minnesota
Power & Trolley company, headed by
j. L. .Kiichli. Former Governor John
Lind is also supposed to be interested
in this project. This company has hard
velopment, but it. has already secured
running rights from the Hennepin
county commissioners, and is believed
now to be seeking capital for realizing
it's rather ambitious scheme of rural
electric lines out Of Minneapolis.
It is to the latter project particular
| ly that the Hord proposition gives
pause. Neither the Twin City nor the
Minnesota company has progressed far
enough to make definite proposal to
! the Excelsior council. With that vii
lage tied up by an exclusive franchise,
one of the most Important points on
the lake would be unavailable and the
er. The Minnesota company has been
banking on the traffic, from this point,
but it has been getting "a good
franchise. With rival in the field
beginning at the franchise end Of the
business, the situation becomes compli-
Gated and as a result some unkind re-
marks are heard regarding the real
purpose of the Philadelphia IS applica-
ton.

to Stamp Out Smallpox.
At the annual meeting Of the state
board of health today DR.. H. M. Brack-
en-, secretary, presented his yearly re-
port. It calls attention to the need of
q larger force to carry on the work Of
the department.. - -.- .---' g.
Since 1897, the report says, there
have been 10000 cases Of smallpox in
Minnesota. It continues: - +
"The disease has been Of a mild type
in most instances, but has nevertheless
been a great demoralizer of local COM
mercial interests. The mildness Of the
disease has made it the more difficult to
control, because Of the tendency among
some individuals to conceal it's exist
ence until the infection became general
and concea1ment was no longer posi-
ble.' +
A resume is given Of the work of
the board with other diseases, particu-
larly typhoid fever, the spread Of which
is charged largely to failure of cities
and villages to prevent pollution Of
their drinking water. .
