Items Of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.

Postofice Inspector w. H. Mullin
was in Detroit last week Investigate
| ing the violation of the postal laws
in that vicinity. The nature Of the
violation was in sending letters or
notes in packages and mailing them
at third class rates. Five violations
resulted in convictions and the Of
tenders were required to pay a fine
of $40 each.
Brown County Journal: 1t is re
ported that the partnership existing
between A. P. Brooks and A. F.
johnson, who have been conducting
a job printing office at Regina, Can
ada, has been dissolved. Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson expect to return to
Minnesota and will probably again
reside in New Ulm. Conditions were
were not as promising as origi-
nally pictured.
Hutchinson Leader: 1t is said the
canning factory at LeSueur has
about finished the seasons output
of peas, with run of 300, 900 cans,
the product Of about $50 acres. The
farmers have netted profit of
about $25 an acre over the cost Of
the seed. and most of them have
seeded down the land to fodder corn
or millet, or similar feed, thereby
having the profit Of two crops a
year.
Luverne Herald: Herman Dahren-
dorf, aged 81, who for the past fiji
teen years had conducted shoe
shop on East Main street, living
alone in rooms adjoining the shop,
was found dead in his bed between
5 and 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
According to the opinion Of Coroner
S. ]. Froshaug, who was here Sun
day and viewed the remains, his
death was due to a stroke of apo
plexy and he had been dead about
thirty-six hours when found.
Sacred Heart Journal: Paul Dea-
son has suffered the loss of five of
his best work horses through CLAN
ders this week. This a dreadful
disease among horses and certain
loss to the owners, as the state
authorities demand that every horse
suffering from CHAMBERS must be
killed. This is hard luck for Mr.. Dea-
son as the busy season is approach
ing and good horses are scarce to
procure. We sincerely trust that no
serious outbreak will be the result.
Brainerd Tribune: 1t is announced
that the Brainerd Arena, which has
changed hands several times in the
past year. has been sold again. H.
E. Kent, who came here couple Of
weeks ago and purchased the paper
from R. S. Holden, day or two
ago disposed of it to C. j. Saw
bridge, who formerly. published a
paper at Fergus Falls. Mr.. Saw
bridge is journalist of some ex-
perience and genial, pleasant gen.
tleman. We trust that he may
make the Arena winner and re-
main with US permanently.
Olivia Times: M. J. Bowling re-
ceived pair Of Shetland ponies by
express Wednesday last and cute
little buggy on Thursday. The team
was purchased of VIM. Hemstock of
Sparta, Wis, the consideration be-
ing $3.50. M. j. made the deal while
visiting there couple of weeks ago.
The team has warm admirers in the
boys of the town, judging from the
procession we have seen accompany
ing the outfit. and the Misses Doro-
thy and Marjorie will undoubtedly
enjoy many happy hours driving be-
hind their pretty little team.
Springfield Advance: Sever a |
nights ago William Steer experienced
quite an exciting time on his way
home after closing his saloon. He
was passing near the kindergarten
school building after IL o'clock p.
M. when he noticed two men stand
ing on the other side of the walk UNI
der the large trees. Thinking moth
ing unusual about the matter he was
just about to pass them when he re-
ceived a terrific jolt in the face
from one while the other fioored
him by hitting him upon the head.
Mr.. Steers big dog was walking in
