from this moment he did not intend the

the species, but when it was shown to
an old darkey living in the village, he

The Pengilly Sale.

The farmers who are interested in the
raising of good pure bred stock should
not fail to be present at the public sale
of pedigree Shorthorns at Clover Hill
farm, owned by Mr.. John Pengilly, In
,Torthfield on Monday, March 10Th.
Mr.. Pengilly has for several years
past been building up a very good herd
of shorthorns and has many very choice
animals of the we'll known Bates, Cruik-
shank and Scotch families. This is not
a sale for the purpose of wedding out 2
few inferior animals, such as is custor
mary with some of the breeders, but Mr.
Pcngilly is going into another line OF
business and will sell the entire herd at
public auction to the highest bidder
and should farmers wish to purchase
pure bred animals of this breed they
will make mistake if they do not at
tend this sale. No reservation or side
bidding will be made and the stock is all
in the very finest condition for sale.

MADE PEOPLE NERVOUS.
Report Of James Muiiigan's Resur-
rection Was Without Truth.

FROM IueSudy s Ddlly.
As stated by The Free Press yester-
day, Thomas Davidson, president of the
Minnesota Funeral Directors associa-
ton, has been making an investigation
of the report that one James Mulligan
of lola or Togo, Wis, has come to life
after having apparently died, and that
this phenomenon occurred while he was
in the coffin in a hearse on the way to
church where funeral services were to
be held. The story received wide cir
culation, for an evening paper in st.
Paul gave it to the Associated Press,
and it was sent over the entire country
Such reports as these cause much
anxiety to old and infirm people, for ev-
eryone naturally has a horror of being
buried alive For this reason the UNI
dertakers are specially interested in
tracing down and denying all such re-
ports. The system of embalming i'll
use prevents any such thing occurring,
for the blood is entirely drained from
the corpse and the veins filled with en-
balming fluid, SO the absurdity of such
q report is manifest.
The undertakes at lola. and Tioga,
Wis, have been swarnped with letters
sent them by other undertakers all over
=
the country, and they have waxed in
dignant over the report, which was man
ufactured by some reporter and sent to
the st. Paul paper, by which it was
used without investigation. Such re-
ports tend to discredit the undertaking
profession. So. .,.
The postmaster of Tioga states that
no such person as James Mulligan is
known, there. 80 q,

Gustavus AdoIphus Students Equip
ned With Wars Devices.

st. Peter, March GA consignment of
Springfield rifles, with belts and other
accoutrements, has been received at
Gustavus Adolphus college. The arms
were shipped by Adjutant General F.
B. Wood and are supplied by the state
to equip cadet corps at the school.
The battalion was organized last
September and the military instructor is
A. T.. Lagerstrom, formerly captain OF
one of the cadet companies of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. Thus far the
greatest interest has been shown by the
students, and it has become one of the
most popular departments at the school.
Naturally the corps has been somewhat
handicapped by the lack of arms, and
Captain Lagerstrom has been compelled
to confine his instruction to marching
movements and exercises, but the state
has supplied this deficiency by issuing
the Springfelds, and the drills will now
be carried out more fully.
A short time ago on-commissioned
officers were appointed and these
young men have been assigned to the
four companies composing the battalion.
