Daughter of John johnson Sustains In Jury
Which Almost Proves Fatal
An accident which would probably
have resulted fatally were it not for
timely surgical aid happened on Sun
day evening to the 13-year-old
daughter of John Johnson, who re-
sides about two miles south of Milaca.
It appears that the little girl, while
running as fast as she possibly. could,
stumbled and fell upon the open blade
of a clasp knife which she carried in
her hand. DR.. Bacon was at once
summoned and came to the conclu-
sion that the sharp blade, which pene-
trated the side, had caused grave in
ternal injury.
DIR. Cooney was thereupon called
and upon arrival at Mr.. Johnson's
Immediately performed an operation
upon the little girl. It was then
found that the liver had been severely
gashed by the knife blade and that
excessive internal hemorrhage, which
would within very short time have
proved fatal, was in progress. Re-
parative surgery was quickly re-
sorted to, and Notwithstanding the
patients condition was particularly
critical, she is progressing favorably.

Drug Store, one of the neatest and
best arranged drug stores in the state,
was opened for business by Miss Glib
bons in May, 1905, and received it's
share. of patronage from the start.
But Miss Gibbons is not pharmacist
and the work was too combining, hence
when an opportunity offered to dis
pose of the stock and fixtures on ad-
vantageous terms she embraced it.
The new proprietor, Mr.. Colbert,
comes highly recommended. For
several years he managed drug store
at Cass Lake. He is a registered
pharmacist and understands the bust
ness from the ground up. He is a
gentleman who will make friends fast
and hold them. He has rented the

THE POTATO MARKET
A Steady Movement Has Continued
This Week With But Slight
Variation in Prices.
Frosts in Wisconsin and rlichigan
Will Tend to Increase Demand
For Minnesota Spuds.

The favorable weather prevailing
throughout the week has enabled
farmers in this locality to make unin-
terrupted progress in potato digging.
While the crop is perhaps more I'M
even than that of last year, the aver
age yield promises at this time to sur
pass that of the preceding season.
With regard to quality the tubers are
highly satisfactory, some of the finest
specimens ever produced having al
ready been taken from the ground.
A steady movement from the grow
ers to the warehouses has continued
throughout the week and at this time
the receipts are fast increasing. At
the W. 81. Terrell warehouse the boys
have been kept busy weighing in and
at other warehouses a considerable
quantity of the tubers has been re-
ceived.
The estimated shipment from this
point since our last issue is 20 cars,
which have been dispatched to va
cious parts of the country. Recent
frosts in Wisconsin and Michigan,
which ''bit" the ends of thousands of
bushels of potatoes, will naturally
have a tendency to increase the de-
mand for Minnesota spuds, but buyers
do not think that this will materially
affect prices.
Crop reports from the principal po-
tato-growing districts indicate that
the yield is generally good and the
quality above the average, but it is
possible that this estimate may fall
short of expectations, as large guam
titles of potatoes still remain in the
ground.
Quotations have varied here but
very little the past week, and it
is impossible to tell from the tone of
the market at this time whether prices
will advance or decline. There is
a belief, however, among the buyers
that prices will be stronger within
d short time. - -, .~,'.-.- - e.:

i've of such results, but instead to de-
vote himself to the cause of temper
ance and rescuing the outcasts of East
London, work he has at the utmost
self-sacrifce steadily pursued ever
since.
''How much do they pay you for
wearing that bit of blue ribbon?
sneeringly inquired an impertinent
young man of Mr.. Charrington on
one occasion.
GAS nearly as I can make out, !"
answered the reformer, with a bland
smile, 1T costs me 100000 year."
Some eight or nine years ago a we'll
known west end physician died, leav-
ing a fortune of rather more than
e40, 900. The whole of this amount
was bequeathed to a nephew with con-
tingent remainder to certain charities
should the beneficiary refuse the be-
quest, the object of the testator being
to deprive daughter who had mar
ried contrary to his wishes of his es-
tate.
The nephew, however, although the
fortune must have been a sore temp
tation to him, objected to being made
an instrument of his ~uncle's post
humous spite, and announced his in
tention of refusing the fortune directly
he was made aware of the terms of the
will. Upon it being pointed out to
him that his refusal would only create
the contingency provided for and not
benefit him or his cousin, he formally
accepted the fortune and then trans
ferred it by deed of gift to the young
lady who had been so unfairly dealt
with by her father.
.Unhappily, her husband more than
justified the deceased physicians pref
|sudice against him, and promptly gave
up his practice and began to dissipate
the fortune. He died, however, before
he had made away with half the estate
and in due course his widow married
the cousin who, had so conscien.
tiously refused the fortune for her
sake.-LOndOn Tit Bits.

Rogers Building Fine Home.

c. 81. Rogers is reported to be
building an elegant new ten-room
house on the site where his old LOG
house was consumed by fire last
spring. It is said that when completed
the house will cost from $4,000 to
81, 900 and will be one of the finest farm
dwellings in the county. It is also
stated that Mr.. Rogers will build an
elegant barn in the near future, to be
of the same design as the large Pleas
ant Valley Stock Farm barn at Page,
though not quite as large. Mr..
Rogers appears to have been very
successful since coming here as is
shown by the substantial improve
ments that he is making, which is a
demonstration of what can be accom-
plished by farmers in this section if
they will but pull their coats and

Rogers has done. Mile Laos Pio-
