What happened to Jones? Instead
of Paul Jones the hero, says the

tombed in a magnificent mausoleum
at Annapolis.

of Watertown, committed suicide
by hanging himself last week, and
Frank Barris, Jr., twenty-seven

difficulty.

The village council of Vesta has
offered a reward of S25 for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty
parties who have been destroying
shade trees around town. People
who are so low down mean and
sinking enough to injure or destroy
a shade tree deserve the severest
punishment and they will get their
just deserts sooner or later.

Waseca Journal Radical: Five
years ago last Monday, thru the
efforts of the Ladies Improvement
League, free rest room was eStab-
lished in this city, and has been
open for the free use Of the public
continuously since that time. In the
five years 1855 ladies and SITS
children, all from the country, have
made use of the room while in the
city. These figures prove the popu-
: larity of the room with the ladies
and children from the country who
come here to do their trading. 1t
is a common occurrence to have a
number of small children and even
babies left at the room in the care
of Miss Dibble, the matron, while
the mothers make their purchases
about town.
Farmer McFadden, who has charge
of the dairy herd at the Fergus
Falls hospital for the insane, left
for South St. Paul Wednesday with
! the herd of sixty-four cows, which
had been condemned on account of
| tuberculosis, and was shipped from
the insane hospital farm to the
stockyards at that point. The ami
mails will be slaughtered and ex-
amined there and any that are not
infected can be used for meat. The
hospital herd consisted of about
eighty cattle in all, and the con.
demnation of sixty-four of them or
account of tuberculosis has created
quite a sensation. The cattle have
been kept in the cleanest stables
have been well fed and cared for
have drank nothing but pure water
and people are asking what percent,
age of ordinary stock is free from
the disease when such a proportion
Of this carefully tended herd is
found to be infected.
