monia, reports the Franklin Tri-

attended the annual meeting Of the
Minnesota Beekeepers association
held in the cities last week and was
elected president of the association.

beekeepers in this county and that

A rear end collision of two freight
trains on the Omaha road between
Butterfeld and Pickerel Lake Satur-
day evening resulted in the loss of
one life and considerable damage to
property. A brakeman named Par
ker, whose home was at st. James,
was sitting in the caboose of the
first train, when the engine of the
second train ploughed thru the ca
boose. He was killed, but it does
not appear that any one else was
injured.
A ghost of the Gebhart murder
case was raised down in Billy Nah
ler's town of Springfield lately,
when detective accused a tailor of
that town of writing an anonymous
letter to County Attorney Hoidale.
The letters were undoubted fakes,
but the accused man cleared himself
of having been the fakir, altho he
admitted that the handwriting of
the letter was strangely likel his
own.
Owen Carney, formerly of Gales
township, has gone to Portland,
Oregon to visit a month with a
brother. A Tracy paper says that
this will be their first meeting for
over thirty-two years. and during
thirty years of that time they were
lost to one another. About two
years ago an acquaintance of our
Mr.. Carney met the Portland broth
er quite accidentally and seeing the
strong family resemblance the talk
soon led to the discovery that he
was brother and letter was i'm
medlately sent to our toWnsman.
The western relative is well-to-do
lumberman and will evidently make
the visit interesting and pleasant for
Mr.. Carney.
Glencoe Enterprise: Cement drain
thing was manufactured for the
first time in the new factory of Nc
Allister & Dibb the latter part of
last week. The occasion was not the
commencement of this industry by
the above firm, but simply test of
the machinery made by F. S. Pfff-
ner. an expert for the Waterloo
Drain Tile Machine Co., of Water
loo, Iowa. from which firm Meal
lister & Dibb purchased the machin-
cry installed in their factory. The
result of the test was so satisfactory
that the apparatus was accepted by
the local firm. The thing of differ
ent dimensions made during the test
was perfect in every respect. Ex-
pert Pfffner, who ought to know
by reason of his familiarity with
drain tile works thruout the coun-
try, pays the local plant a compli-
ment by saying that it is one of the
most modern and well equipped
factories of its kind in existence. He
says few drain tile firms can boast
OF such a substantial or spacious
building, and that the manufacture
ing machinery is the best designed.
The local cement works can manu.
facture from 4 to 12-inch thing and
has capacity to complete 5000 tiles
a day. Messrs. McAllister & Dibb
have decided to commence operat-
ing their plant on March LIST, 1907.
