A bunch of Italian laborers held
rough house in the railroad yards at
Winthrop last week. Accidentally
a caboose had bumped into their
boarding car, and they, evidently
thinking it was intentional, imme-
diately swarmed out for revenge.
The engineer had to hurry to get
away, and after an exchange Of
rocks, clubs, etc., accompanied by a
display of knives and dago temper
the gang was shipped out of town.
Springfield Advance: Springfield
follows closely in the wake of other
big and metropolitan cities in that
there was a genuine strike here
Tuesday. The telephone girls for
the home company made demands
for higher wages as we'll as to de-
mand the special privilege of nam
ing the extra help. This the com
pany officials would not stand for
and a strike was promptly inaugural
ed, the girls deserving their post Of
duty. In the forenoon VIM. Gaunt
attended to the exchange and in the
/ afternoon the girls consented to at
tend to the calls until s o'clock. At
g o'clock Miss Louisa Dalsgaard
assumed her duties as night operator
and at a meeting of the directors
that night the Misses Matte and
Mabel Swetlan were employed to
attend to the day calls.
Here is the secret of success, says
an exchange. A child is born in the
neighborhood; the attending physi-
clan gets $40; the editor gives the
loud-lunged youngster and the chap
py parents" a send-off and get So.
When it is christened the minister
gets $40, and the editor gets 500.
1t grows up and marries and the
editor publishes another long-winded,
fowery article, and tells a dozen
lies about the beautiful and accom-
plished BRIDE" the minister gets
$40, the editor gets 5000. In the
course of time it dies and the doctor
gets from S25 to 500, the minister
gets, perhaps, another SIS, the I'M
dertaker gets from $25 to 500, the
editor publishes a notice Of the
death and an obituary two columns
long, lodge and society resolutions,
a lot Of poetry and free card of
thanks, and gets 10000. No wonder
so many editors get rich.
New Ulm Review: A peculiar con-
dition exists in the case of DR.. I. R.
Humphrey of Brown county, this
state, and his wife. They are both
very old, the doctor being past 81,
and both have suddenly grown very
childish. He is possessed with the
belief that his wife is his sister who
died some years ago. and she has
forgotten that she is his wife and
accepts the belief that she is really
his sister. They live in different
places, and when he calls on her he
always inquiries for his sister. Upon
some things the aged doctor is ra-
tional and in good physical health,
and were it not so pathetic the case
would be one of real humor, for the
old people carry out the ideas they
have created as if they were real
facts. Humphrey came to Brown
county in 1873, and gave the name
to one of the townships of the
county.
