gon while at the Brookville cream
cry recently, has passed into the
great beyond as result of injuries
sustained in that fall. Mr.. Nelson
declined steadily until death relieved
him of suffering.
For the benefit Of a well-known
and popular young Redwood Falls
business man the Tracy papers state
that Miss Della Perry, Tracy's
leading milliner, left on Tuesday for
Chicago and the Twin Cities, where
she will spend several days selecting
a complete line of fall and winter
millinery goods, and she will return
with an experienced trimmer
Mankato Free Press: Conductor
Charles Raney of the Chicago &
Northwestern road, who was ar
rested last winter for blocking
street crossing longer than the law
allowed, and who was convicted but
took an appeal to the supreme court,
was before court this morning to
receive his sentence, the supreme
court having sustained the city. He
was sentenced to pay a fine of $50
and costs, or S126.98 in all. He paid
the amount, but it is expected that
the railroad will refund it to him.
Angus McRae of Sanborn gets cut
into the telephone service at San
born every time that there is any
thing warm passing over the wires.
Here is the way he touches up the
latest telephone war in that town:
1t is reported that the first round
of battle between two feminine
voices on phone line No. 100 took
place last Friday morning until one
of the neighbors took down the re-
ceiver and called time" The
second round took place Saturday,
and from report it was knockout
blow for one of the contestants.
This long range business seems to
be preferable to most people.
Willmar Gazette: Hon. C. M.
Reese of Minneapolis spent few
hours in Willmar Tuesday on bust
ness and incidentally talked of the
political situation. Mr.. Reese is of
the opinion that the Republican can
didate for governor is growing in
strength and that the chances are
bright for his election. Immedi-
ately after the convention, when
disappointment was strong over the
defeat of Mr.. jacobson. Republi-
can enthusiasm was lacking in many
localities, but change is steadily
taking place and Republicans are
awaking to the fact that their candi-
date is clean and able man and
fairly entitled to his party vote. A
radical change in the vote of Hen
nepin county from that of two
years ago is predicted.
After some two feet of the water
of Sleepy Eye lake had been run off
by reason of the new ditch that has
been dug in the neighborhood of
that place. the Brown county com
missioners were appealed to prevent
the further lowering of the body of
water and a committee went to the
scene of the trouble last Wednesday
and provided for dam that would
not only keep what water there is in
the lake but would raise the present
level. 1t is evident that in the
course of years unless fresh water
supply is provided for the lake and
some means are taken to dredge it
out and keep it clean, it will fill up
even if the outlet is damned. Year
after year the dirt from the farms
keeps blowing into the lake and if
there ever were springs of living
water there they have become
choked and the water in the summer
time gets as stagnant as water in a
rain barrel. To prevent this the
Sleepy Eye Milling company made a
proposition to run the waste water
from the mill into the lake. This
would be equal to the product from
good-sized spring and would 90 a
long ways toward saving the lake.
