Agricultural Exports,

The calendar year Is closing with
every indication that the remarkable
volume of exports will remain at the
food. A bulletin from the bureau oil
statistics at Washington is testimony
to this effect. The bulletin deals with
the exports Of domestic breadstuns'
meat and dairy products, food animals
cotton and mineral oils for November
and for the IL months OF the present
year ended with November. The total
Of these exports for November was
s1O5, 81 900 against SOS, S41, 600 in lsoe'
and for the IL months s7Ss,257,OOo
COMPARED with s7OS,56s.OOO last year
The December returns are not likely
TO show any relative decrease, and the
entire year is fairly certain to snow
large advance over last. Several
features of the bulletin showing com

was something of a falling on In thi'
class of exports for the MONTH ou'
shipments abroad of meat and dair!
nroducts and of food cattle were s2OS'
$4,000 in 1906, or more than s2o'ooo
900 in excess of these of the same l
months of 1905. Legislation by cor

STRICKEN WITH DEATH
Mrs. William Leak Dies at Elmore;
ApopIexy the Cause.

Elmore, March 9.-On Thursday al
ternoon came the sudden death of Mrs.
William III. Leak, wife of the Omaha
depot agent here. She was seated at
the sewing machine when she was
stricken with apoplexy. Her two chill
dren were in the room: and she call
ed to her daughter, telling her that she
felt faint. In moment, she fell to
the floor, face down, unconscious. Her
daughter, girl of ten, dashed cold wa
ter in her face, but seeing that her
mother was breathing hard called for
aid. In less than three minutes she
was dead. Agent Leak was at the
depot and did not hear of it until she
was dead. This is a sudden shock to
the whole community and all extend
their sympathy to the bereaved hus-
band and children. The funeral will be
held on Tuesday of next week and will
be in charge of the Eastern Star, of
which she was a member.

DIVORCES IN MARTIN COUNTY

Clerk of Court Flygare of Martin
county has completed his examination of
the divorce records of the county COW
ering the period from Jan. l., 1887, to
Dec. 81, 1906, undertaken under the d.
rection of the government and finds that
during that period l35 suits for divorce
were brought in the county. OF this
number llG DEGREES were granted and
nineteen dismissed or abandoned.
THE records show that in over 80 per
cent of these cases the action was
brought by the woman. The married
period of the separated couples averages
about six years. More than fifty per
cent of the divorces were granted on the
grounds of desertion. The next most
frequent cause for severing the martial
tie has been cruel and inhuman treat.

HAS LOST HIS MEMORY
NicoiIet County Boy Furnishes a
Strange Case for Doctors.

From Fridays Daily.
In fall from load of straw at his
fathers farm in Lafayette township,
Nicollet county, Walter johnson, six
teen-year old son of j. Aaron Johnson,
received an injury to the brain that has
affected him curiously. He has lost his
memory completely, and can recall moth
ing that occurred prior to the time he
was hurt
The boy was injured while trying to
prevent younger sister from being
hurt. The two were riding on load of
straw, and when the girl lost her foot
ing her brother clutched her by the arm.
Both went to the ground together, the
boy striking upon his head and losing
consciousness.
After he had gained the use of his
faculties he was questioned concerning
the accident. He could remember moth
ing of it, nor has he any recollection of
things that happened only few days
before.
The boys doctors say that his case is
strange one They are of the opinion
that he will recover, but declare that
the first sixteen years of his life will
always be a blank He will have to be-
gin his education anew and gradually
develop his memory.

KILLED A WILDCAT
Believed to Be the Animal That Has
Caused EXCITEMENT Recently.

L IOHi Cilody LAM
The wild animal that has been seen
in several places, and that has caused
trouble for farmers, has been killed. It
was shot this forenoon three miles east
of the city. Rood Hoffman was the
first to see it, and it was then prowl-
ing about on Arthur Woods farm. He
told some of the residents of that Sec
ton, and party was soon organized to
hunt the animal. They followed the
tracks in the snow for a mile and
half, and finally cornered the beast in
some high grass at the edge of Mud
lake One of the party got excited and
fired into the grass but while the shot
did not strike the animal, it frightened
it out. The beast looked big and pow
erful and tawney as it leaped out. Oscar
Hauch raised his twelve guage shot
gun and fired. A charge of No. 4 shot
struck the animal behind the ear and
it fell over dead. Mr.. Hauch was stand
UuC INcuIy iCCC liOu Tie
when he fired.
The animal was found to be mon
strous wild cat, weighing twenty one
pounds and measuring four feet long. 1t
made large track in the snow. 1t
was brought to the city this afternoon,
and attracted much attention. 1t will
be OH exhibition at John Kollman's sa
loon all day tomorrow.
The young man who shot the cat is
seventeen years old and is a good hunt
er. There were eleven young men in
the party, and they surrounded the
grass so that the cat could not have
escaped in any event. 1t has been sew
eral years since a wildcat was shot in
this vicinity.

DESTROYED HIS MONEY
John Mohr, in the Hospital. Refuses
Treatment and Acts Insane.



Johan Mohr, the old gentleman who
fell the other day near the corner of
Front and Cherry streets and fractur-
ed one of his legs near the hip joint,
is not doing very WE'LL He was taken
to the hospital, but when physicians
prepared to treat him and got the
apparatus ready to harness him up he
got an idea that they were going to
hang him, and refused to allow them to
touch him. He tore off what applica-
tions they applied, and informed the
Sisters that he was going to die any
way and that he did not want anyone
to get his money. He then tore up
two $40 bills, and some other money.
The physicians have been afraid that
he would go insane and have to be
taken to the st. Peter hospital, but he
is now somewhat more tranquil. He
still refuses to be treated, however,
seeming to think that it is a scheme
to get his money away from him.
Mr.. Mohr is seventy-five years old,
and unless he can be treated as he
should be he will probably die, as his
limb is in bad shape.

PROVIDES FOR INSPECTION
Object Of Bill 10 to Drive Out Bovine
tuberculosis.

From fridays Daily.
The stamping out of bovine tubercu-
losis in this state is the object of bill
introduced in the house by r. L. Mork
of Bricelyn. 1t requires an annual in
spection of all dairy herds from which
milk is sold whether it be to individu-
ais, corporations, to butter or cheese
factories or for any. other purpose. Ev-
cry farmer selling milk to creamery
or elsewhere must obtain an annual Ii
cense from the state dairy and food
commission, paying 81 for it.
The bill provides eighteen additional
dairy and dairy herd inspectors, one for
each judicial district. They arctic be
subject to the civil service examination
now provided for inspectors of the dairy
and food department, and are to receive
$1,000 year.
The bill to considerable extent takes
away the present work from the live
stock and sanitary board. 1t includes
extensive provisions Tor testing ana con-
demning cattle affected with tuberculo-
sis and detailed provisions for the pay
ment of the expenses of inspection, ap-
praisal, killing and burial. The cost of
the autopsy and appraisal is to be borne
by the state as well as a reasonable
allowance for the value of the animal
killed, but the expense of killing and
burial is to be borne by the town or
municipality.
