MANY PEOPLE HONOR HIS MEMORY
Funeral Of DR.. Welcome Attracts
Large Numbers.

Masons and particularly that branch
of the fraternity known as the Knights
of Templar order, met in Sleepy Eye
Wednesday afternoon in large num-
bers to pay tribute to the memory Of
DR.. Welcome whose body was laid to
rest in the cemetery in that city on
that day.
All the services at the church were
in the hands of the ministers Of the
city and the sermon was preached by
Rev. Hartwell. Miss Myrtle Hagen
sang a couple Of solos and male
Iquartet sang Nearer Ny God to
Thee. At the grave the Knights had
charge of the services and the masonic
ritual was followed
| The attendance at the church was
large, taxing the capacity of the build
ling, and all of the services from the
house to the cemetery we're marked
with solemnity. DR.. Welcome had a
wide circle of acquaintance and
friends who contributed wealth of
floral offerings so that the casket as it
rested in the church was literally
hurried in the magnifcence Of q the
springs beauty
1 Masonic lodges from Mank alto, Red
i wood Falls and this city we're repre-
sented and some members from other
places were ID attendance. The Sleepy
|Eye lodge Of Masons, the Knights OF
]Pythias and the Odd Fellows as well
as the Odd Fellows lodge Of this city
marched in the procession.

Saturday and remained over Sunday.
He says that there is no telling how
long they will have to remain there as
the calendar has a number Of impor-
tant cases on it that must come off be-
fore their case is reached.
He says that the women are entitled
to the land they have filed upon if they
care to hold it, but the land is worth
less, except for grazing purposes, it
being impossible to raise any thing
more than the gumbo grass that has
no value even as hay. There are a
number of prominent South Dakota
men mixed up in the case, among them
one Of the state officials, and Mr..
Klossner is of the opinion that some
sensational developments will result
from the disclosures the court will
make.
He returned to Sioux City Monday
to be on hand when the case in which
he is interested is called. He says
they are all treatep we'll and the vaca-
ton is interesting, if it wasn't that
they have to be on hand when they
would like to be somewhere else.

BROWN COUNTY MINI. WEDNESDAY April, IS 1906

other officers were also inclined to
favor the move, as it would give the
commanders practice in the movements
of large bodies of men.
The matter went so far that a tract
of ground large enough to permit the
maneuvering of all Of the troops, was
selected, but in the meantime the peo-
pie of Lake City began to inquire into
the matter and it was found that the
law was such that a change could not
be made with out forfeiting the prop
erty acquired. by the militia from the
city there fol. a camping place.
1t is not likely at this time that there
will be any change in the manner of
drill this year from anything that has
gone before, and the regiments will
meet in separate encampments, as the
grounds at Lake City are not large
enough to permit of successful move
ments Of larger bodies of men.
This ruling will be a disappointment
to many of the officers as we'll as to
the General as they had settheir minds
on something this year that would be
a little out of the ordinary and of in
terest to them as we'll as to the men.

CITY CANNOT HAVE ENCAMPMENT
Brigade Will Go to Lake City For
Its Practice.

It has been definitely settled that
there will be no brigade encampment
of the state militia in this city this
summer. The department has ruled
on the question and has come to the
c.sion that the law in the case is on
the side of Lake City and that the
state troops will have to meet there
this summer.
a majority of the commanders of the
different companies Of the militia were
in favor of making a change this year
and having the brigade meet here in
one body instead of in different regi-
ments as has been the practice hereto
fore. In fact there were few who were
opposed to it and the governor and

nail GETS INTO cows HEART
Animal Suffers For More Than a
Year, is Killed.
Disease Thought to Have Been
Case of tuberculosis.
Strange Circumstance Not known
to Have Equal in State.

With an eight-penny nail circulating
about in her anatomy for more than a
year, a COW belonging to Claus Swan
son of Lafayette has lived and contin-
ued to contribute her share of milk
towards the dairy supply from his
herd, until the condition of the animal
showed such evident signs of ailment
that the owner felt the best thing to be
done was to kill her.
This was done last Friday and to the
establishment of the man who performed
the autopsy there was found an eight
penny nail embedded its full length in
the lower part Of the heart. The swol-
len condition of the heart is what at
tracted the attention of the man to that
organ.
There has been considerable tuber-
culosis in that part of Nicollet county
and the state Inspector has had num-
Der of COWS killed because of that d.
sease, and Mr.. Swanson was fearful
that it had got into his herd and left
orders that an examination of the
lungs of the animal be made. These
were found to be in good shape and
apparently fulfilling the offcefor which
they were designed.
How the nail got into the heart is a
problem It evidently had been cir
culating about in the body of the ami
NAL for sometime as there were several
perforations in the tissue surrounding
the heart, showing that it had entered
and evidently attempted to leave that
part of the body but could find no easy
place of egress.
There had been a noticeable change
in the health of the animal for the past
year until it became so weak that it
was scarcely able to control it's mo-
tons when upon its feet, it would not
eat as 1t should and was troubled with
it's breathing.
Cattle men and butchers in this city
have never heard Of case like it be-
fore. They say that it is not uncom-
mon to find pieces of wire, small nails
and sometimes glass in the udder OF
animals when they are being butchered.
but they have never found anything in
tiley heart of any of the animals they
have killed,

OBSERVES HIS 18TH ANNIVERSARY
Geo. Scherer Of Mankato Remem.
bers Graduation Day.

Twenty-Five years ago today says
the Mankato Free Press w. r.. Young
and George w. Scherer graduated
from the state normal school. They
were the only members of the class
who now live in Mankato. Friday Mr..
Scherer paid the school visit in
honor OF the anniversary, and was in
vited to sit upon the rostrum and to
address the school, which he did in an
entertaining manner, recalling the
changes that have taken place in the
building and the faculty in the last
twenty five years, and accounting Incl
dents of his school days.
The building has been more than
doubled in size since the class of 1881
graduated, and the old part has been
so remodeled that no one would recog-
nize it as the same building. The only
member of the faculty of that year who
is still serving at the school is Mrs.
D. A. Swami.
Mr.. Young had intended to visit the
school with Mr.. Scherer, but was de-
tanned by law suit. The world had
dealt kindly with both of these gentle
men since they walked out of the in
stitution with their sheepskins. Mr..
Young taught school for a time, then
studied law, and has since become a
leading member of the Blue Earth
county bar, and is now serving as a
state railroad and warehouse commits
sioner. Mr.. Scherer, after teaching,
became editor of The Mankato Post
doing we'll until his eyes failed. Then
he travelled in Europe, and after his
return served several terms as county
superintendent of schools of Blue
Earth county. He is now conducting
the Star Steam Laundry The rest of
the class are scattered.

CLAIMED TRAMP HYPNOTlZED HIM
Boy Who Worked New lJIm is Glad
to be Released.

A fourteen year-old ST. Paul boy,
who said he was bound by hypnotic
influence to a tramp, was freed on Sat
urday and left for his home.
His story is that two weeks ago, at
St. Paul, he was persuaded by the
tramp to accompany him and beg, car
rying cane and some cards bearing
poetry calling for aid from charitable
people. The boy claimed to be Grip
pied with rheumatism, and succeeded
by working portion of each day in
collecting 81 to SIS day, which he
turned over to the tramp, who spent it
largely for liquor.
Sanborn, Springfield, New Ulm and
other towns were worked in this way
until they reached Mankato, where the
boy was arrested and told his story.
convincing the officers that it was true.
He said that he disliked the life ex-
ceedingly and had tried to escape from
the tramp. of whom he stood in terror,
but had failed each time.
He refused to give his name or that
of his master, but when the tramp was
locked up and sent to jail for ten days
he seemed overjoyed and left at once

MANUAL TRAINING FOR BOYS
School Board Plans For New De.
parture in Work.
Practical Education Will Occupy
Place in Study.
Ten Students Each Day Will Work
With Hammer and Saw.

not behind the times in anything and
while they are Conservative they are
ready to recognize good thing when
they see it, and at a recent meeting of
the board it was decided to introduce
manual training in the school, taking
one period a day for ten students from
the Seventh and Eighth grades and
possibly including the ninth so that
by the end of the week fifty students
will have taken the course.
The members of the board feel that
they are doing the best thing possible
for the young people when they intro
duce this feature in the schools. It is
at once diversion and an education
and something that will hold the in
terest and attention of all the students
and give them an idea of something
practical that in after years may be
put to great use.
This matter has been under consi-
Iteration for long time but the cost
of fitting out a school with the proper
tools and instructors was so greatthat
it staggered the management until they
got hold of the system of the Ameri-
can Manual Training School and now
instead of $4,000 they will be able to
make start with the moderate sum
Of. 5000.
"a fo 1,o tod f1oh u
ment of the high school building and
ten benches will be installed with the
necessary tools to begin work and il
is expected that all will be in shape to
begin the course next week. At first
the work will be under the directsuper-
vision of Prof. Critchett, who has
taken the course, though the instruc.
tions and material as it comes from
the hands of the American school is
in such shape that an Instructor can
supe, intend the work of the children
without the necessity of having had a
course at a school.
It has been noticed that the hour
each week devoted to the subject OF
manual training is not an additional
burden to the teacher and pupils, but
lis a positive relief from the dull,
dreary routine, and that teachers and
pupils everywhere hail it as a long
needed link between the life Of the
world and that of the school. It is
really the happiest hour of the week
and the children are seldom absent on
Manual Training day.
The work embraces the making OF
brackets, scroll work, fancy boxes,
hat racks, book and paper racks and
little articles of furniture such as are
easily made and within the possible
ties of the mind of the boy who is at
tending the lower grades of the high
school.

There must be some good reason for
the action of Senator Nelson in sup
porting the ship subsidy proposition.
He is not one of those men who take
up with a proposition without thor
oughly going into the details of it and
determining the result of his action.
The question is a far-reaching one and
one that when looked atfromthe stand
point of ordinary business seems to be
a scheme to get a donation from the
government to assist capitalists in the
merchant marine business, but whom
it is considered that other governments
have built up a merchant marine bust
ness upon the same principle and most
of the business Of the United States in
this line is carried on by foreig ships,
it is something like the proposition to
have one store deliver the goods of its
competitor, it is sure to look out for
the business of its own house before it
interests itself greatly in that of its
competitor. There may be two sides
to this question of more virtue than at
first appears.

CHARTER CATECHISM
Synopsis of the Proposed Charter for the City of Mime
apolis, Issued by Charter Commission as Added
Elucidation of the Purpose of Fundamental Law.

What Is the Charter9 The charter Of
the city is it's fundamental law, pre-
scribing its form of government, fixing
= the powers and duties of it's officers,
and defining all the legislative powers
of the city council.
What 8 the Matter with the Present
Charter7 It was adopted in 1881, when
Minneapolis was a small town, and was
amended twenty-nine times down to
1892. 1t, is hodge-podge of special
acts-a loose, inadequate and anti
of large and progressive city.
Why Doesn' It the State Legislature
Bring 1t Up to Date9 The constitu-
tional amendment of 1892, prohibiting
special legislation, has made changes by
the legislature impossible. It locked
all avenues of progress in this direc-
ton and destroyed the keys. =
What Can Be Done9 The "home
rule amendment of the constitution
in 1896 enabled cities to frame and
amend their own charters. st. Paul
and Duluth have taken advantage of
this. Minneapolis has not.
How Can We Get Home Rule? Thru
the adoption of a charter by popular
vote, a Al majority Of all persons vot-
ingsat the election being required.
Why Should We Vote on the Char
ters Because ballots not marked are
counted against it's adoption.
How Shall We Votes Each voter will
be handed ballot upon which the only
question will be 'Shall the proposed
charter for the City of Minneapolis be
ratifed7' The voter will mark an
"X' after the word Yes or No. The
ballot must be returned to the Judges
Then Whats Then we can change the
charter as we wish, by vote Of 3-5 of
all persons voting at the election; and
the people may themselves propose
amendments by petition.
What Is the Proposed New Charter7
1t is primarily codifcation of the
present charter, making it an accurate
and Ineligible legal document, con-
formed to the general laws Of the state,
the decisions Of the supreme court and
administrative changes which have
been forced upon the city in spite of
the present charter. It makes many
needed changes in matters of detail
connected with the conduct of the
clty's business-each small in itself but
all contributing to provide a more safe
and orderly munich pal government.
There are no substantial changes ex-
cert such as are noted in the following
analysis Of the several chapters:
CHAPTER I.
Name. Powers and Boundaries.
No change.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-10-13

and expended during such year; and
provided, further, that In no case shall
more than one-third (1-3) OF the cost OF
constructing or improving any road or
bridge be paid by the state from such
fund.-
S The purpose and object Of the ar,end-
nent Is dstl to eliminate from the con-
stitutlon the requirement that an un-
saiarled highway commission shall be ap-
pointed to have charge OF the expendt-
ture OF the road and bridge fund. This
would leave 1t optional with the leaJe.
iarure TO nave state highway commits
sion or not; (2nd) to Increase the tax
which can be levied for state road pur-
poses from one-tWentIeth Of a mill to-
one-fourth of a mill. The legislatures
may levy less tax, but can not exceed
one-fourth OF mill. The provIso shows
how It will be divided among the coun-
ties. -
THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
The third proposed amendment to the
constitution Is contained In Chapter 2e3
OF the Laws OF 1905, and is as follows:
Section 18. Any person may sell or
peddle the products of the farm or gar
den occupied and cultivated by him
without obtaining a license therefor
This proposed amendment is Intended
TO be added to Article one a. OF the
Constitution, which is known as the bill
OF rights, and will, If adopted, be Sec
tlon 10 Of said Article, leaving all Of the
Article otherwise as 1t Is at present.
the only change that would be ef-4
fected thereby would be to enable any
1armec or gardener to sell the products
OF tne farm or garden, which he occupies
and cultivates, within any city or VILLAGE
IN the state by peddIIng the same from,
mouse to house without taking out 4
peddIer's license.
Respectfully,
Edward T. YOUNG,
Attorney General.

Peeos Valley Lands

We have a large quantity Of
land In. Ward and Loving coun-

irrigated farming. This land
lies along the Pecos river.
which furnishes an abundant
supply of water.
The fruits shown from the

were pronounced superior In
appearance and flavor to those
from any other state.
These lands were acquired di-
