Royal Grants That Carried Some spe-

AS far back as the time of Henry l.
there were royal grants of "the ISL

was the phrase in centuries following.
With royal encouragement, why
should they not be wrecked!
One Sunday, long. ago, in Sicily.

came the cry of "'Wreck!" The men

he ran, while his congregation labored

Most curious of all wrecks was that
of a bark, with a cargo of beads, that
went ashore 200 years ago. So gen.
erous has been the ocean with this
treasure, that throughout these two
centuries it has internationally been
tossing beads ashore, yet so frugally
that the supply is not yet exhausted,
for in few minutes search 1 found
that some had been thrown there
since the last search of the islanders.

Mrs. 0. S. Humes, who is home
steader at Cascade, in this county, was
robbed of $500 in Duluth last Saturday

apartments of Mrs. 0. S. Humes IN the
Banning building, Second avenue west
and Superior street, and carried away a
strong box containing $500 in money,
some jewelry and valuable papers, Sat-
urday. The police are in pursuit of the
thieves and the robbery has been kept
dark, but the story leaked out yesterday.
1.-The thief entered the rooms, which
are situated in the rear of the millinery
store conducted in the building by Mrs.
Humes. She had been out of the rooms
only few minutes, when she returned
and found that the bureau, where she
kept the box, had been broken into.
"She at once notified the police and a
short time afterwards Ingwald Sorsen
brought the box to che station. report
ing that he had picked it up on the lake
shore at Fifteenth avenue east. Tue
box hac been broken open and all valu-
ables taken. The documents had been
carefully replaced and the cover tied
with a string, so that the papers would
not be carried away by vhe wind"

NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Maple Hill School District No. 3
ReeStabliShed,

The petition of the people of Maple
Hill for the reestablishment of their old
school district No. came up for hearing
before the county board at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. A large delegation
of Maple Hill citizens was present, the
village being fairly we'll represented.
The petition being read and proofs of
due service and publication of notice
to express their views upon the matter.
A helpful discussion followed, resulting
in an amicable disposition of the propo-
sitlon. The petition asked for the same
territory as was contained in the old
Maple Hill school district before being
consolidated with Grand Marais into
Independent District No. l. But
those who were present and spoke for
Maple Hill acknowledged that Grand
Marais was entitled to better division of
territory and, with commendable fair
ness, conceded to Independent District
No. all of range 2.
It was also mutually agreed that the
Independent district should turn over
to Maple Hill the sum of $1,000 as it's
share Of the available funds.
Thereupon, the board adopted a reso-
luton reestat llshing Maple Hill Dis
trict No. 3, to comprise the following
territory: Sections to 8, GLE; town.
ships 81 to IS, lE; sections l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
and IL, 61-1W; townships 81 to 65. w.;
also appropriating from the funds Of
Independent District No. l, $4,000 for
the new district.
AS thus divided Maple Hill gets a
property valuation, in round numbers,
of $265,000, and Independent District
No. l about $480.C00. The proceedings
were, as stated, harmonious throughout,
the action of the board being merely a
ratification of the understanding reach
ed by the people.
It is also understood that as result
of the work Of this meeting the quo
warranto proceedings instituted by
Maple Hill residents to settle the legal
status of Independent District No.
will now be dismissed.

Worsted by an Owl.
SURE TO PLEASE HIM,

"VTSIVV ~ 0'' o''t'
Hiram Heller of Williamsport was
badly lacerated and bruised in a bat
tie with a great horned owl which
he wounded while cunning near Fair
field Centre.
He shot at the owl as it flew by
him, but only broke its wing. Not
wishing to disfgure the bird, Heller
attempted to kill it with club. The
wounded owl, which measured nearly
four feet from tip to tip, bounced
upon him, and before he was able to
free himself he was badly wounded.

Equal to the Occasion.

Long after the victories Of Washing
ton over French'a and British had made
his name familiar to all Europe, Ben
jamin Franklin CHANGED to dine with
the British and French ambassadors,
when the following toasts were drunk:
'England'-The Sun, whose bright
beams enlighten and fructify the re-
hottest corners of the earth"
The French ambassador, filled with
national pride, but too polite to dis
pute the previous coast, offered the fol-
lowing:
'France'-The moon, whose mild,
steady, and cheering rays are the &C.
light of all nations, consolinS them in
darkness and making their dreariness
beautiful"
DR.. Franklin then arose, and, with
his usual dignifed simplicity, said:
"'George Washington'-The joshua
who commanded the Sun and Moon to
stand still, and they obeyed him."

The largest birds nests are to be
found in Australia. The Australian
Jungle fowl build for nests great
mounds, fifteen feet in height and 1875
or $50 feet in circumference. Grass,
leaves and other vegetable matter are
used in the construction of the nests,
which easily weigh ton. The Aus
tralian brush turkeys, working in
colonies, pyramidal nests even larger.
One of these nests, on being removed,
filled several carts and it's total weight
was five tons.

BROTHERS FIND EACH OTHER.

Marion johnson read the name of
long-lost brother on the register
of the Pauley house, Minneapolis,
one day last week, and when the
other Johnson showed up, was intro
duced to his own brother. 1t was a
case Of boyish disgust with farm
life with turn for adventure that
led the other Johnson to. run away,
and Marion says that neither of the
brothers would have recognized each
other after years ofnseparation, but
for the hotel register. Both BROTH
ers had good deal of news to tell,
the runaway having gone into lum-
bering and being a large owner of
pine lands in the west and south.
They will keep tab on each other
hereafter.

should, there is not much doubt that
the county association will be re-
organized with view to securing
permanent grounds and putting the
fair on an admission basis again.
There Is no doubt that people would
come as generally with an admission
as without, thus furnishing a basis
for offering large premiums and re-
lieving the business men Of this city
from a pretty heavy expense. But
now that a big program has been
provided for, the main thing is to
come and bring your family and
urge your neighbor to come and try
and capture some of the many prizes
offered in many lines.

STEAM LAUNDRY CHANGES OWNERS.
T. W. Manthey Sells Plant, But Will Re-
main in Charge for a Season.

Last Friday the papers were drawn
transferring the title to the steam
laundry plant on Mill street from F.
w. Manthey to Clemens Lauterbach
of this city.
It has been conceded that Mr..
Manthey has been giving the city
the best laundry it has ever had and
that his business was profitable. But
it appears that he has contracted the
western fever and plans to visit the
Pacific coast the coming winter, and
his business is one that cannot easily
be run by hired management. He
has been quietly looking for buyer
and had almost effected a sale to a
nonresident who wanted the Dusi-
ness when a hitch in the negotiations
led to his considering an offer from
his neighbor, Mr.. Lauterbach. In
der the terms of the transfer, Mr..
Manthey will remain until Clemens
has mastered all the details and is
able to satisfy the patrons with the
workings of the laundry.
The GAZETTE will lose capable
assistant by this arrangement, but
/ if Glenn is ambitious to embark in a
profitable business it is not fair to
raise selfish objections. He has been
employed in this office most of the
time for six years, and has proven
himself reliable and possessed of
| good judjment and energy, as well
as disposition to be absolutely fair
in his dealings. He is deserving of
the confidence Of the patrons of the
laundry. He will begin his appren.
ticeship at the laundry in about two
weeks.

Star Amusement Attrac-
tons Assured.
Now Let Our Neighbors Come to
Town for Redwood County
All together.

Only two weeks to the Redwood
county fair. And everything points
to a record-breaking exhibit of stock
and produce and record breaking
entertainment program.
The promise of exhibits is based
on the school corn growing contest,
the string of over two hundred dol
lars worth of special prizes offered
by the merchants of Redwood Falls
in addition to those presented in the
premium list proper, and in the
fact that large number of entries
have already been made in the corn
growing contest, thus insuring
good display in that respect.
Let no rush of work keep the
family from attending the fair at
least one day. and look over the
premium list on the seventh page
and see if there is not something
that you have in your garden, field
or stock pens that will make good
showing at the county fair.
The matter of amusement attrac-
lions has given the committee good
deal Of concern, the really good
performers asking a high figure for
their stunts. As the committee did
not want to lower the standard of
entertainment set here at previous
fairs. they finally acceeded to the

fact that Mrs. King had nursed a

weeks before his death from the
