John Henle of New Ulm recently
purchased new horn and one of
the papers in that city says that it is
the largest tooter in this section.
1t is a deep basso in tone, and John
is given credit for having it make
the most beautiful music ever.
The Morgan fire department has
elected Frank Schieffert chief, E. F.
Juhnke assistant chief, A. L. Schle-
kau secretary, G. G. Haeney treas
urer and F. Fenske steward. Editor
Cliff Eaton has been elected to re
port all fires, whether by night or
day.
The Hanska Rural Telephone COM
pany has declared dividend of six
per cent. pro rata on all stock pur-
chased prior to March LIST, 1906, and
the stockholders and directors feel
that rural telephone company can
be conducted with satisfaction to all
concerned.
A Mankato apiarist has taken pity
on Editor Angus McRae, and sent
him several pounds of honey, which
the editor is to deal out to politi-
clans, and keep a little for himself
and family, during the next several
weeks. Editor McRae has a right
to consider himself insulted. He is
about the most docile and genial
newspaper man in the county, and
honey is not needed for him, by him,
or of him.
Lamberton Star: Mrs. Frank
Clague and Mrs. Miles Porter de-
parted the latter part of last week
for Vernon Centre in response to a
telegram announcing that a brother
of the former, Milton Porter, had
met with an accident. While thresh-
ing the young man had the mis-
fortune to be struck in one of his
eyes by a broken cylinder tooth.
He was taken to a hospital and
the eye was so badly injured that it
had to be removed.
Granite Journal; The city bor-
rowed a split-log drag from a neigh
boring road district and used it on
the streets here this week. 1t did
good work and the streets were i'm
proved by it's use, but of course the
proper time to have used it would
have been before the mud dried up
so much. Right after a rain is the
time. But anyway it did the streets
much good, and to have one made
for city use would be money well
invested. Last week we said the
water in the Minnesota river was
then the lowest it had been this
season, which was true, but before
the papers got among the people we
had had a heavy fall of rain, so
heavy that Saturday morning the
river was eighteen inches higher
than it was Thursday, and it kept
coming up gradually Saturday and
Sunday. There must have been a
terrible fall of rain west of here to
produce this result.
E. K. Slater, state dairy and food
commissioner, has begun an investi-
cation into the condition of can
neries in Minnesota. Under the new
law all canned vegetables and fruits
must be absolutely free from pre-
servatives. The commissioner is not
making the investigation because of
any failure on the part of the can
neries to comply with the law. He
states that, generally speaking, the
thlfIy Odd cannerleS IN Minnesota
obey the law. He intends to send
an Inspector to each one of the
canneries and report on the sanitary
condition and the manner in which
the products are prepared for the
market. The secretary of the Min
nesota Cannery association has furn-
ished him a list of them and the
inspectors will be started at once.
The chief offenders against the law
are outside canneries, which ship in
goods and do not meet the require
ments of the Minnesota law.
