HEARD ABOUT Town

I dropped into one of the leading
places OF business in Sauk Centre a
few days ago and found the "boss"
seated at his large, roll-top desk en-
ployed On a little job quite foreign to
his regular line of occupation. He
had the upper left hand pocket Of his
vest turned inside out and was
laboriously sewing up hole in the
bottom of 1.-THE pocket not the vest
with a needle and thread. He had
the good judgment to use black thread
too, ladies, so don't shrek for fear
white thread was employed on a
black job. l stood and watched his
exertions for a space of some fifteen
minutes and was greatly entertained
"You wouldn't think I'm a married
man, would you?" smilingly remark
ed the apprentice tailor, as he took
an extra strong hitch in his thread. Il
always keep little articles of this kind
here at the Office so that 1 can fix up
my duds to suit myself 1t saves time
and wear and tear of the temper"
Just then he finished the job, cut off
the thread with his penknife and
filed the implements of industry
away in his big desk for future refer
ence. I came away with bee in my
bonnet wondering what would happen
should his better half find out what
he'd been doing.

the biographers of her late majesty.
Once, when he was vicar of Portsea,

Lang was honored with a command
to dine with the late Queen Victoria
at Osborne. Her majesty, who learn.
ed that he had no fewer than twelve
curates under his orders, asked him.
with a touch of persuasion in her
voice, If it would not be wise to dis
charge three curates and marry.
But the vicar had evidently turned
the matter over in his mind long be-
fore.

have said. 'if disagree with my Gu
rates, we can part But if I were to
disagree with my wife it might end in
my having to leave the parish"

The Minnesota legislature lodged
the primary election extension Prop
osition. That law should, either have
been extended to include all state
officers, or else it should have been
repealed. The politicians don't like
the primary idea and they will never
give the public square deal unless
they have to. Some of them will be
lost in the shuttle next election.

The Herald does not publish railroad
timetables. For the reason, dear sub

roads serving Sauk Centre will pay

Would you expect The Herald, or
any other newspaper for that matter,
to insert free of charge business an
nouncements of merchants? Then
why should special favors be shown
the railroads?

CONFERENCE
NEXT WEEK

Bishop Berry will preside over the
sessions of the Wilmington Annual
Conference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, which will convene in Smyrna,
Del, on Tuesday next. While Io2
churches have asked for the return of
their pastors, yet it is believed that
many changes will be made in these
puIpitS because oi the requests from
other congregations for new ministers,
which will require considerable shifting
to effect an equitable adjustment, and
there is more or less nueaSincss over
this condition.
SIX churches have asked for new pas
tors, as follows:-Epworth Church.
Wilmington. for John NJ. Arters, now
at Madclcy Church, Wilmington; Wes-
ley Church, Dover, for A. W. Light
bourne, now at Middletown; Bridge
vile, for J. w. Colona, now at Princess
Anne; Lewes, for w. X. Mowbray. now
at Bridgcvillc; Still Pond, for f. H..
Collins, now at Marydel and Asburv
Church, LawSonia, tor Wilbur +. Cork
ran, now at Newark.
Some congregations have not asked
tor any ministers, resting in the old
Methodist notion that Providence
should have something to do with the
appointment of the preacher. but the
method most popular with the follow
erS ot Wesley. according to lavnan
Is to pick out a man and ask Pruvi-
dence to endorse the selection and

Flood At Port Deposit

Residents OF Port Deposit were
alarmed at 3 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, when the dreaded flood and ice
gorge gave promise of becoming a
reality. The water began to rise at
that hour and in the short time reach
ed the depth OF to feet in the streets
and to make matters more threatening
the ice from up the river began to
come down.
AS the WHIG goes to press, the
situation seems little easier as the
water is reported to have fallen about
three feet, but the railroad tracks are
still submerged from Herring Run to
the north end of McClenahan's gran
lite quarries. The public square was the
only dry place in the town. Ice is piled
all over the tracks and in the streets,
and railroad communication has been
cut off since Thursday evening, The
standard Oil Company's tank, the
scale house and number of small
buildings have been carried away
The ice IN the river, after running
Tor few hours came to a standstiIl,
and the water must have found pas
sage out under the jam that exists all
the way from Garrett Island to Port
Deposit. The danger is that this vent
or passage may become clogged with
mush or broen ice in event of the great
mass OF ice coming down from above
which trouble will undoubtedly be pre-.
cipitated by heavy rain or sudden
thaw. With this menace hanging over
the town from above, and with the
tremendous embankmcnt of ice below
the situation looks more threatening
for a disastrous gorge and flood than
ever before.

Strike At Elk Mills

The strike situation at the two tex

same, with scant prospect for quiet
adjustment. The employees OF the
plants went on 4 strike last Saturday
for an increase OF 10 per cent. in paw
and a reduction OF three hours in a
weeks work. bringing the hours down
to 81 from 90. Over 100 hands quit
work upon the refusal of the company
to comply with these demands.
