Pen Picture of Richard Croker.

Here is an interesting picture of
Richard Croker and his home near
Dublin: 1.-THE house itself is dream
of opulent beauty. for it has been new
ly recreated by an American with an
American love for comfortable and
luxurious interiors. This man with
the knickerbockers, the white short
beard, the tranquil and impressive face
and the soft and almost cooling voice,
who says very little, but listens with
untiring courtesy to everybody else, Is
no other than he who was once known
as Boss Croker Every visitor to Mr..
Croker has to visit the stables, and
there you will see some Of the horses
which have already won great prizes
and are expected to win more. This
white bearded man, with the tranquil
air, the gentle voice and the soft man
ner, has yet in the stern lines of his
face in repOSe, in the firm, tight mouth,
in the powerful jaw and in the clear,
strong blue eyes, as i'll the we'll knit,
short, strong frame, ample outward
evidences of the will of iron which
was able to dominate so potent a COM
munty as New York and to be for
years the dictator of its policy, its Of
ficials and its administrations"

a NJ oted Detective,

James Mcfarland, the detective who
wrung from Harry Orchard the story
of the murder of former Governor Steu-
nenberg of Idaho and score of other
killings, has achieved remarkable sue
cess in his chosen line Of work. Born
in Ireland sixty-three years ago, Nc
Parland came to this country in 1868.
Nine years later he secured job with
the Pinkertons in Chicago. Since then
he has made history.
For many years prior to the advent
Of MCFARLAND the Molly Maguires had
kept the anthracite regions Of Penn

Tho Influence of Trees.

A writer in the Minnesota HOrticul-
turist says: There are but few people
in the world who do not admire noble
trees on streets or country roads, and
wherever they are found such thor
oughfares are the favorite drives. The
man who plants trees is not only Il
public benefactor; he, besides, minis
ters to his own we'll being, physical,
mental and spiritual. He deserves
credit for altruistic work. and he dis
plays good judgment in securing con
tentment for himself. thereby afford

ducklings, who met their death by
freezing when the mercury was 90 de-
grees In the shade. The ducklngs We're
well and happy until the phenomenal
arrival of hailstorm Sunday after
noon. With many fearful squawk
they dashed for shelter when the first
pellets touched their backs. Then one,
attracted by the glittering, transparent
globule, swallowed it. Its example
was followed by the others. A few
moments later the original devourer
fell over stiff and cold. When Law
renee came to the rescue he found them
all frozen as thoroughly as if they had
been in cold storage.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
AIabama's New Senator.

John Hollis Bankhead, who succeeds
the late John I. Morgan as United
States senator from Alabama, has
been in congress eighteen years. Last
year he failed of reelection and de-
clared himself candidate for senator,
winning at the primary election.
Senator Bankhead is native of Ala.
bama and is sixty years old. He
served four years in the Confederate
army and was twice wounded, leaving

vantages. st. Paul Dispatch.
It will be noted that in the foregc-
ing item, Mr., Mason stated that
the shops could not be promise d
to Owatonna. We are also informed
that the location of the shops at De-
corah is not looked upon with favor
by the company as all sites large
enough are low and subject to food
ing in times of high water. Cresco,
being nearly in the middle OF the pro-
posed route, is the logical place for
the central power house and shops; it
has plenty of good sites surrounding
the town, and it has the good will of
Mr.. Mason, having stood by him faith
fully and constantly and given him
all he has asked since the project was
first mentioned, and we believe with
all these favorable conditions Cresco
has an equal If not better chance to
secure the central shops than any of
the other towns mentioned in this
connection.

Mott & Co.'s OPENING,

The opening of Mott s. Co.'s new
store last Thursday was the occasion
of general outpouring Of the ladies
of Oresco and vicinity while not a
few men found their way inside the
store which was crowded all day and
evening. Every visitor was given a
Souvenior in the shade of fine car
nation, and although an almost un-
limited lot was provided, the supply
became exhausted in sthe evening
Some excellent orchestra music was
furnished by the Misses Anna and
Este Kakac, of Saratoga, and the
Misses Helen and lone Kakac, Of
Cresco. The general concensus Of
opinion Of those present was that the
new store carried very fine selec tion
of high grade dry goods and ladies'
furnishings and that a carrying out
in Cresco of the liberal dealing policy
of this firm at their Decorah store,
would result in securing for them a
profitable business.

"DAN PATCH" ELECTRIC Line.
0watonna People Go on Record as Be
ing in Favor of the Project.

Owatonna, April 3.-One of the most
successful mass NEE tings ever held In
this city took place at the court house
Monday evening, when Manager and
Secretary William Peyton Mason, OF
the Minneapolis, Rochester & Dubu-
que Traction company, made public
statement as to the plans of his com.
pany.
The courtroom was packed with q
very representative audience, and the
result OF the meeting showed that the
people of this community are hearth
ly in favor of the proposed line, and
expect great benefits from 1t. Mr..
Mason was obliged to disappoint many
at the outset by declaring that he was
not in position to promise anything
with regard to the location Of the
company's s shops. The shop location
is feature in which perhaps ma
jority of the people present are most
intensely interested.
Nevertheless, the assemblage went
on record positively in favor Of the
electric line, and Furthermore author
lied the appointment of q committee
to push the project in the matter of
securing right Of way from Owatonna
north to Cannon Lake.
Mr.. Mason in conversational man.
/ ner, set forth the prospects of the
company and the benefits which the
line will bring to Owatonna and the
farmers In its vicinity. He pointed
out the great advance the electric
line is over the steam road, compar-
ing 1T with the improvement which
the steam road was over the stage
coach. The principal feature where
by the electric line is far more valu-
able to both country and city than
the steam road is in the fact that cars
will stop at stations not more than a
mile and half apart, and the service
will be many times more frequent. 1t
is not necessary for the electric cars
to run in trains to be profitable, and
they can stop often without wasting
power or incurring other expense.
The electric line affords the farmer
living near it the opportunity Of send
ing his produce to market or travel.
ing there himself at almost any hour.
1t is the highest present development
of rural transportation facilities.
The result is inevitably the great
increase in value of the farm lands
lying within easy reach of the electric
line. A farmer on this line can send
his produce to any point between
Minneapolis aud Chicago which he
