My Dear Parishioners:
The solemn Lenten season again calls us to
follow in the footsteps of our Blessed Redeemer,
Who fastel forty days and forty nights in the
Du.ing the peuitential season. let as follow
Hin rs nearly as we may, in His example of self
denial that we may be strengthened and re-
freshed in soul and body; By such measure of
abstinence as is compatible with the season. that
like ST. Paul, we might keep under the body to
bring it into Subjection.
By devoutly offering to God what we save from
self denial and abstinence and by greater sacri.
fees for the maintenance of His holy work.
By earnest, loving prayer, the very soul of true
religion.
By more frequent reception of His Blessed
Body and Blood.
Much can be done for the church. for others
and for you9own souls, by faithful attendance
at the services, and the cooperation of your ef-
forts in bringing others as we'll as your earnest
prayers that none may go away unblessed
Kindly remember your pastor in prayer that
he may be strengthened for the Lords work

From Parties Unknown.

from THURSDAY Ddily.
As reminder from people who evil
IDENTIFY do not want their names known

most of the people of the state at this
time of the year twelve months past.

One of these is white silk scarf
with his initials embroidered upon it
and accompanying it a short verse ex-
pressing the sentiment of the sender
The other is a cloth hammer of small

who the sender may be or the sentiment
that melted the oct.
DR.. Koch was home from Saturday

well pleased with the success he is hav-

happy.-New Ulm Review.

WELL-KNOWN FARMER.
William Kruger Of Alden Is Among
the Missing.

FROM fridays Daily.
William Kruger, the well known
farmer of Alden township, is among the
missing and has not been seen since
Christmas night. As the report came
to The Tribune there was some little
disagreement in the Kruger family
about five o'clock Monday morning and
the head of the family leid on the hay
IN the barn most of the day, refusing
to go into the house. In the evening he
glared in the windows of the house and
scared the members of the family, but
a sOn-in-law went in pursuit and cap
tured the fleeing man, but could not
hold him and he seems to have left
the premises as no sign of him has since
been seen, although search and inquiry
have been made in all directions. Mar
shall Gray of Alden has been on the
lookout but nothing has been discovered.
The general opinion is that Mr..
Kruger has become mentally deranged
and wandered away, or else has taken
his own life. He is about fifty five years
of age and heretofore has shown no
signs of insanity. In Any event the
case is surrounded iq mystery.-Albert
Lea Tribune.

Rural Carriers Not Asked to Report on
Pieces Of Mail Handled.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The postoffice department has issued
circular doing away with the system
of having rural carriers keep daily rec
ords of the number of pieces of different
class mail delivered and collected daily
Monthly and quarterly reports of these
daily retails were also made.
After this no such reports will be re-
quired regularly.
Postmasters will still retain the blanks
and they will be used when such informa-
ton is required again.
These statistics were desirable in the
early days of rural free delivery in or
der to determine the amount of mail
carried and the general use of the SER
vice. The popularity and success of the
system has fully proven, and it is no
longer an experiment. 1t has come to
stay, and will be improved and extended
from year to year. b. 49,

Professor Jaffa Gives Out His Theory
Of Controlling Hens.

Berkeley, Cal, Dec. 2S.-Within a
short time, hens will lay eggs according
to program, whether they want to or
not, instead of refusing to work for so
long a season every. year that the price
of eggs mounts up to famine rates, if
the plans of Professor Jaffa, nutrition
expert at the state university, do not
go astray.
Professor Jaffa is conducting some ex-
periments which he expects will be con-
Guided by Jan. l.
He announces that his researches have
justified his belief that he would be able
to control the moulting period of hens
which normally begins in the middle OF
the summer and continues into Sep
TENDER, October or November.

TREND OF TRADE
Reported Daily by A. Cummings
Room IL Free Press Building.

Minneapolis, Jan. 3.-Wheat: Cables
responded fairly well, while receipts were
about as expected. The opening was
firm and 1sc higher and Immediately
sold up as much more before the de-
mand was filled. On the advance there
was little selling, which carried prices
up to little below yesterdays close
but Immediately rallied to near the
opening figure. Trade was very dull,
within a very narrow range, but the
market did not at any time show any
weakness, remaining very firm in the
face of attempts by the bears to force
prices lower. On thing the bears are not
counting on is the fact that the stock
and cotton markets have had such an
advance during the past few months in
that it is beginning to be dangerous for
the small traders to speculate in those
markets and they are turning to grain
markets and the buying from this source
will soon have its effect. Armour was
a good buyer of May wheat i'll Chi
cago today. Our stocks increased l,30O,-
600 for four days. We shipped $4,000
bushels of wheat and q 1000 barrels of
flour. Cash demand very good today
with sample tables well cleaned up. The
close of the market was inclined to firm
ness with the price close to the top of
the day.

An Army Officer Who Snubbed
an Enlisted Man.
COURT MARTIAL FOR FELLOW
Went to Theatre, Found a Sergeant
There, Refused to Sit Rear Him;
Is a Cad.

New York, Dec 2S.-Social ethics OF
the soldier is the cause on trial in the
United States Army building when First
Lieutenant Roy |. Taylor of the One
Hundred and Twenty fifth Company
Coast Artillery, will be brought before
a court martial, charged with snubbins
sergeant of his own company in a
theatre i'm New London, Conn. Lieu
tenant Taylor is Michigan man.
Colonel Heiten, L. S. A., will preside
at the court, and Captain r. H. McMas-
tiers. L. s. A., commander of the COM
pany, will be present, for it is he who
preferred charges against the young Of
ficer.
This is the first time that such a
charge has been brought against an of
ficer at the local fort, and army Off
GERS throughout the country are much
interested in the outcome of the trial.
Lieutenant Taylor did not 90 to Gov
ernor's Island today, where at the Off
GERS club there is always hearty wei
come for every army official. Inquiry at
the club elicted the information that the
officer is under serious cloud because
of his act, and that none of the officers
in the army post, or even the head
quarters of the department of the east
has any sympathy for him in his pres
ent difficulty.
1--WE consider an enlisted man." said a
captain of a company, ''as one of us sc
long as he behaves himself, and as EN-.
titled to our respect and polite treat
ment. If Lieutenant Taylor did as il
is said he did. it is time that such snob-
bishness is driven out of the army. We
have no desire to create a military au-
tocracy here, such as exists in Germany
for example"
Under the usual charge of conduct
unbecoming an officer the offense that
causes Lieutenant Taylor to be hailed
before the court martial occurred in New
London, Conn, two weeks ago. He was
about to occupy seat in theatre
when he found Sergeant j. Butler Of
his company seated near by.
Taylor objected to the proximity OF
the noncommissioned officer, and at last
went to the ticket office and secured
new seats farther away from the SER
geant.
Captain McAIasters, who was in. the
theatre at the time, saw the whole pro-
ceeding and made the charge.
Lieutenant Taylor was graduated
from the Michigan Military Academy in
1897 and served through the Spanish
American war in the Thirty fifth Michi
gan Infantry. After that he was com
missioned second lieutenant in the
Forty fifth Volunteer Infantry, u. S. A.
and was mustered out i'm 1901 as a first
lieutenant. He was then appointed a
second lieutenant in the artillery corps
from which he was promoted to hi:
present rank.
The sergeant has served five enlist
ments and has an honorable discharge
for each. 1t is said that he is one OF
the most popular men in the company.
