A Delicate Operation.

A peculiarly difficult and signiti-
cant operation was performed at
the Worthington Hospital last Sat
urday by Drs. Manson, Geyerman
and DeCoster on lady from Win
dom, who was afflicted with ulcera-
tion Of the stomach. The opening
from the stomach into the intestines
was nearly closed up with ulcers an
a cumulation of Of tissues, so the
intestines were cut off, the opening
in the stomach closed up, and new
connection made. One of the doc
tors says this is the first operation
Of the kind performed IN Minneso-
ia, outside Of Rochester, and they
are watching the case with a good
deal of interest. The patient seems
to be getting along nicely.

BOYS RECEIVE SENTENCE,

Plead Guilty to Grand Larceny :
in Second Degree. ~, -

Judge Brown came over from Lu-
verne Tuesday to hear the case
against Claude Ventioner and Fred
Netter, who had made application
to plead guilty to the charge OF
grand larceny in the second degree.
The former was given 80 days and
the latter 10 days in the county jail
The offense to which they plead
guilty was taking two knives apiece
from the valise OF q travelling sales
man tlt the tel " tline tea e
the offence was committed after
dark it came under the head of
grand larceny. Ventiouer was en-
ployed at the hotel as porter, at the
time. The travelling man to whom
the valise belonged lost his sample
trunk here at the same time, and it
was thought the boys had taken it.
But no evidence could be found to
connect them with that theft, and
the district attorney says he IS now
satisfied that they had nothing to
do with it. Both boys positively
maitained from the first they had
nothing to do with it,although they
confessed to the minor theft The
experience has been a severe one to
the boys and we hope they will take
to heart the sound advice gwen by
the judge in passing sentence.

Marshall, of st. Charles, will be the
conductor. His assistants will be HIS.
Kirk of Heron Lake, Miss Alma D.
Wagan of Amboy, and Miss Carrie
Sevatson OF Minneapolis.
The main purpose of the school will
be 10 prepare teachers in an educa-
tional way to secure higher grades of
certificates; to become informed Of the
most approved methods Of instructing
chiMren in their earlier school years;
to come in touch with some of the
leading educators of tie state and re-
ceiye new inspiration from them, and
also to receive all OF the general bene
fits. that come from general associa-
tion with thessteachers of the county
and the inspiration, and the helpful
ness that coming together of such
number and such class of people
will always give.
The instructors are educators of
wide experience from the best posi-.
tions in the state and each one chosen
forhis special adaptation for the work
to b. dcne.

ST. Charles, will have general super

There are large number of teach
ers holding certificates which cannot
be renewed. The majority of the Sec
ond grades have one or more marks
below the renewal marks of u per
cent. 1t should be the aim of every
teacher to secure a certificate that can
be renewed at the time of its expira-
ton.
Those who have been teaching on
third grades during this year sh ould
strive to hold second grades for next
year. Every year fourth of the
