That's what HOLSTERS Rocky Noun

S. A. Hoyt, formerly employed as
Townsite Agent C. & N. W., rail-
way and at one time president of
the Bank of Vesta, was found dead
in a locked room at his home in St.
Paul. He was somewhat dissipated
and plunger and it is surmised
that financial troubles had some
thing to do with his demise.
A St. Peter special of Sept. 4th
says that for the second time this
summer the Minnesota river is on a
rampage. Heavy rains thruout this
section and at the headwaters have
swollen its tributaries and for sew
eral days the stream has been rising
rapidly until it is higher than at any
time this year. Near New Ulm the
river has left it's banks and farmers
in that vicinity report that their
cornfelds are submerged. In several
instances the farmers who had their
corn washed out during the June
freshet but who replanted their
fields will lose the second crop.
1t is reported that in one little town
of 200 people in Arkansas the post
master sold about $4,000 in money
orders last year to people who send
to mail order houses for their goods.
Just think of that amount of money
going out of a town of only 200
people in one year. But this is not
all. No doubt considerable amount
was sent by registered letter, by
bank draft, etc. 1t is predicted by
those who have made a study of the
matter that should the catalogue
| house business continue to increase
as it has for the last few years,
another decade will find most of our
villages and small towns wiped off
the map. 1t is believed, however,
by many that the catalogue business
has reached its maximum, that peo-
pie are beginning to see that in the
long run it does not pay to patron
ize a foreign market. 1t is to be
hoped that the latter is true.
New Ulm Review: The dead body
of what appeared for a time to be
an unknown man was brought to
the Buenger undertaking establish
ment from near the St. Louis rail-
road bridge yesterday afternoon
and for a time there was consider
able mystery as to how he had met
his death, but when he was recog-
nized as Adam Schweiss, it was
known that he was subject to
apoplectic spells and as his body
showed no signs of having been in
jured in any manner it was then
evident that he had suddenly died
where he sat down to rest. Chief of
Police Klause Immediately set about
investigating the circumstances and
learned from Mrs. Schweiss that her
husband had been out gathering
grapes; she had warned him that it
was dangerous for him to undertake
the trip as he had suffered from the
heat on several occasions and had
once before fallen, being completely
overcome. He persisted and it is
supposed that he was crossing the
bridge ahead of the train and hav-
ing to hurry became exhausted and
sat down near the track, where he
died.
