the announcements in our local papers,
my drug business has been merged
into a corporation to be known as the
"Pioneer Drug Company

October first and as far as relations
with customers go, there will be little
change.
Iretain the bulk of the stock, am presi
dent Of the corporation and shall be
actively connected with the business
and ready to greet customers as here
tofore.
The business has grown to such ex-
tensive proportions that could hard
ly do it justice alone: hence [ have
formed this stock company in order
to take better care of the constantly
expanding trade.
This expansion of the business en-
bodies some very interesting features

HARKIN KNEW SIR WALTER SCOTT
Aged Pioneer Who Died Last Week
was Raised on N0veliSt's Farm
at AbbOtsfOrd.

Alexander Harkin, whose funeral
occurred in this city last Wednesday,
was probably one of the few people
living inthis country who had any per-
sonal recollections of the worlds most
famous novelist, Sir Walter Scott.
Although Scott died when Harkin
was only four years of age, the latter
ALWAYS insisted that he haa a distinct
recollection of how the great author
looked. He also remembered the dis
tinguished novelist's funeral.
At that stage of the worlds progress
was considered unseemly for women
10 attend funerals, and in Difference to
custom Mr.. Harkin's mother did not
intrude. Only the men were admitted
to the services, and at their close Mr..
Harkin could recall clinging to his
mothers skirts while the cortege
passed along the road.
Until he was eighteen Mr.. Harkin
lived at Abbotsford, and he was wont
to relate many "reminiscences of the
author of THE Lady of the Lake. :
One of these treated of the peculiar re-

GlESKE ROBBED WHILE ON TRAIN
WeIl-known Mining Promoter was
Touched for Several Hun.
dred Dollars.

J. B. Gieske, who will be remem-
bered by no inconsiderable number of
New Ulm people as successful sales
man OF a certain kind of mining stock,
arrived in st. Paul from Livingston.
Montana, Thursday morning. Hecame
in over the Northern Pacific and when
he reached the Sanity City he repor-
ted to the police that he had been
robbed of $500 in greenbacks, the mo-
ney having been taken from him be-
tween Glendive and Beach early We'd
nesday morning. His empty pocket
book was found underneath his birth
when the train arrived in st. Paul, but
no trace of the missing money could
be found, Notwithstanding two people
who were suspected we're carefully
searched.
Gieske claims to be president of
what is known as the Consolidated
Mining and Development company of
Soldier, Idaho.

ligious views harbored by the Scots
OF that time. In the last year of his
life Sir Walter sought to reward Mr..
Harkin's father for years of faithful
service by presenting him with COM
plete set of his published works and a
number of imprinted manuscripts.
Rigid Presbyterian that he was, the
elder Harkin would not preserve the
volumes. Considering Sir Walters
nevel-writing tendencies as an indica-
ton that he had fallen from grace, and
regarding the novels themselves as
little better than the teachings of the
devil, he reluctantly accepted the
books profered him by his illustrious
employer and then solemnly burned
them.
