Madelia He's Citizen Who Believes In
The Strenuous Life.

MTadelia, March 5.-Madelia believes
she holds the record in the matter of an
elderly man taking homestead. Samuel
p. Driggers of this town, who is eighty
years of age, took homestead i'm South
Dakota west of Pierre last fall. He left
here with carload of household furni-
ture, provisions, etc, to commence act
ual residence OH his claim. The claim
is fifty miles west from Pierre and fiji
teen miles from the nearest railway sta
tion, which is mere station, indeed.
No one here can recall an instance of
a man older than Mr. Driggers starting
out in life again by taking a homestead.
The old gentleman is hale and hearty,
although spare in flesh, as he always has
been, and walks as sprightly as man
of thirtyfive or forty years of age. He
appears to be in perfect health. He new
er used tobacco or liquor

J. 1. Helm, Deputy Clerk Supreme
Court, Has Resigned.
From Tuesdays Daily.

fIoIl lueSuay daily.
Hon. j. l.. Helm of Luverne, who
over twenty years ago was APP
pointed to the office of deputy clerk of
The supreme court, and has since held
that office, has rendered his resignation
and will today retire to private life.
AT the time of his resignation Mr..
Helm was the oldest employee in point
of service of the state. This in itself
is a notable distinction, but it is the
lesser thing connected with his servic.
worthy of note. For nearly a quarte.'
of century he has discharged his en-
acting duties with such high ability
and answering fidelity as to make his
connection with the office source of
pride as well as pleasure to all of his
associates. No more faithful service
has ever been given by any public ser
want, nor can Il higher compliment be
given him than is found III his record
and III the expressions of regret in his
retirement voiced by the Judges of the
Supreme court and all of his asso-
ciates. While Luverne is Mr.. Helms
home town, he will in all probability
continue to reside in St Paul, both be-
cause of his long residence there and
the fact that he has extensive business
interests in that city.

Demise Of Woman Who Was Well
Known in Mankato.
From Thursdays Daily.


LIE Sueur News: The death of Mrs
Grace Cosgrove Tuesday morning last
at the home of her son, j. r. Cosgrove,
in this city, was not unexpected. For
months she had been very ill and since
July, 1906, she had been unable to
leave her bed. Mrs. Cosgrove was born
at Belfast, Ireland, and in May next
would have reached the seventy ninth
anniversary of her birth. There she
was also married and in 1851 came to
America with her husband and fam
lily, settling at Westield, n. Y, where
in 1853 her husband died. Her young
est son, James A. Cosgrove was born
two months later. With three small
children to care for, in strange land,
she early experienced the vicissitudes
of widowhood and the trials of a
woman battling with the world, her
only weapon her hands, her friend, the
Father of men. Faith and pluck won.
She witnessed the growth of her three
sons to honorable young manhood,
ready to repay the hardships, she early
and late endured for them. About
thirtyf years ago she came west,
to her son C. n. Cosgrove who sought
the early west for his home, and with
him came to lie Sueur. She was then
in very feeble health but quickly recov-
cred and was for many years i'll this
city robust woman. Later her other
sons came here and she made her home
with them since, changing about each
year from home to home, that all
might pay equal homage to mother.
And never hes mothers love been bet
ter repaid. Her care was their first
thought at all times. She lived to see
them grow to affluenee and promi-
nence i'm the community aud to enjoy
with them the best care and the best
home it was possible to give her. That
she deserved it none doubt that she
received it all know.
Mrs. Cosgrove was sincere Chris
tian lady who by example and words
bettered the world She was kind,
forgiving, unselfish. She believed that
God put her in the world to work and
do good, to be a mother in the fullest
sense of the word and when called by
him she was ready to render full ac-
count of her. lfe's doing without fear
or trembling. Besides the three sons,
J. R. S. Cosgrove, c. n. Cosgrove and
James A. Cosgrove, all of this city,
several grandchildren are left to mourn
the departure hence, of one who was
mother and grandmother to each in
the fullest sense of the word. The
funeral services will be held at the
Presbyterian church this afternoon at
2:30 o'clock.

A dispatch says: The strike situation
III the Quirk flour mills at Montgomery
remains practically unchanged. The
packers are still out and intend to stay
out until their demands are granted,
they having declined to arbitrate or com.
promise. Officers of the company have
succeeded in importing number of men
to work in the mills, but the sympathies
>of the townspeople are with the strik-
ers and they refuse to board or lodge
the strikebreakers, or sell them provis-
ions. In consequence the milling com
pany has been forced to establish a
boarding house and ship in supplies. A
single deputy sheriff is on duty at the
mills, but there have been no cases of
violence.

Helps Good Roads Movement.


With the organization of the State
Automobile association, we can ex'
pect an impetus to the good roads move
ment, although it must not be under,
stood that good roads and improved
highways are to be brought into ex-
istence simply to furnish an easy
pathway for the automobiles to get
about the country. However, it is
praiseworthy of the autoists that they
should see fit to lend their assistance
portance to the people of the rural
districts.
The Free Press is pleased to note
that George Nj. Palmer, one of Man
kato's good roads enthusiasts, took u
prominent part in the meeting held in
st. Paul a few days ago, and which
resulted in the organization of the
Automobile association. Mr. Palmer
was in position to give those present
good deal of valuable information re-
lative to road making. His expert
ence with the improved highways in
this county is such as to enable him
- to tell others how better roadways
can be obtained at small cost.
Mankato autoists were recognized by
the selection of Mr.. Palmer as vice
president; A. G.. Lewis as a member
of the board of directors, and r. L.
Brown on the racing committee; other
officers are: President, Frank Nj. Joyce,
Minneapolis; secretary treasurer, H. S.
johnson. st. Paul. Directors, HI. H. Myers,
Duluth: DIR. DuttOn and G.. A. viii,
Minneapolis, and Oliver Crosby and L.
W. Ingersoll. st. Paul. Committee OH
legislation: DIR. c. Ii. Kohler and Col
onel Joyce, ex officio, Minneapolis;
H. H. Myers, Duluth, and George c.
Knoche and l.. A. Wood, st. Paul. |
Committee OH racing at the state fair:
S. \. Colburn and Asa Paine, Mime
apolis; L. A. Wood and Theodore
Griggs, st. Paul.
1t is the purpose of the association
to spend money this year for good
roads This is commendable feature.
Besides the good roads agitation, the
association will advocate adequate leg |
islation to protect legitimate uses of
automobiles and better registration of
owners was discussed. The speed law
that is before the legislature is con-
sidered severe i'll some particulars. a
measure has been built up and points
taken from other state laws. The bill |
provides that every owner must secure
a number from the secretary of state,
making the registration uniform over
the state.
For their own protection the owners
want to be Unidentified when necessary
1t also provides that the auto and
engine must be stopped on distress
signal by drivers of horses, and that
they as well as the driver of any 9th
er vehicle on the road must observe |
the rules of the road in meeting and |
passing. The bill restricts the speed |
within corporate limits of towns to
fifteen miles, except at turns and
crossings and business districts, where
it is eight. In the country the speed
shall not exceed twenty miles an
hour. 1t is the intention of the asso-
citation to work hand in hand with the |
people with view to securing Just |
laws for autoists and to promote the
sentiment in favor of better road. |
