On Monday, February 25, after an
illness of about three weeks, one Of
the pioneer residents of Minnesota died
at his late home in Kandiyohi OF pneu-
monia, at the age of 80. Patrick Nc
Dermott was born in the County of
Leitrim, Ireland, in 1924, and came to
this country at the age Of eighteen
years. In his young manhood he met
and married at Rock Island, ILL.,, Miss
Chloe N. Robbins, a most etimable
lady, who survives her ever faithful
husband. Coming to Minnesota in
1857, the family settled in Iosco, Wa

he took up his home in the village af-

Rev. Father Boland, formerly Of Litcl-

Fathers Molloy Of Willmar and Carlin

most impressive nature and many were
in attendance not only from Kandi-
yohi, but from other cities and towns
as we'll, for deceased was we'll known

Catholics alike. The sermon preached
by Father Boland was in keeping with
his life. 1t was a beautiful tribute to
an honest, conscientious man, such as
Mr.. McDernlott was known to be. He
was Catholic in the truest sense; an
Irishlnan who never forgot the coun-
try Of his birth, and the nag under
which he lived the best part Of his
life had no more loyal or patriotic sup
porter. His remains were laid to rest
in the Kandiyohi Catholic cemetery.

of $lSs,13s 500 for 1905 The appropriation
for pensions in 1907 was $40 245, 200. In the
bill appropriation is made for only nino

be discontinued:
Augusta, Me; Concern, N. H; Des
Moines, Ia; Detroit, Mich; Knoxville,

disbursement. Should nine of the eighteen
agencies be discontinued, the clerks af-
fected, about 400 in number. will be brought
to Washington and placed in the pension

ASK COUNTY For MORE SALARY
Heads of Departments Before Conn
missiOners to Plead Raise
for Employees.

The heads of the several departments at
the court house appeared yesterday by ap-
pointment before the county commissioners
to plead for raise in salaries for the EN-
ployes. The principal advance was asked
for the employees now drawing from $50 to
SIS a month. This class of salaries has not
been increased in the last several years. In
spite of the advance in nearly every other
line and the greater cost of living. In
creases were also asked for some Of the
stenographers.
Heads of departments have been ap-
parently reasonable in their demands on
the commissioners and it is likely that
the increases asked will be granted in most
cases. The board expects to meet Tues
day to take action.

For two hours last night the city council.

port Of Expert Kiersted on the water
works When the electric lights suddenly
went out a few minutes before 10 O'Clock,
whether by accident or through the con-
nivance of one of the councilnen who was
getting tired, a motion to adjourn to this
evening prevailed, despite the assertion of
Councilman Wallace that he was willing
TO stay until a. m, TO complete the reading
Of the report At adjournment Clerk Sapp
had succeeded in reading something less
than oneh half OF the bulky document
When Mr. Sapp completed reading the
general report and started on the zap
pendlx" several of the councilmen thought
they had heard enough but Councilman
Peter Smith would not be content unless
the entire report, appendix and all was
read. and he carried the day.
Il move that we cut out the appendix"
exclaimed Councilman Younkerman. To
which one of the councilmen replied: 1--WE
CANT do that very well, seeing that Mayor
Macrae is not present and he is. the only
one who understands cutting out an APP
pendix."
Councilman Wallace insisted that 1t was
all 'tOmtOOlery TO read all the detalls
OF the report including the length and
price Of pipe, etc
We'll. what did Ir. Kiersted write all
ti7is for il it is tomfoolery?'' queried
Councilman Smith s'tYou've seen all Of the
report but we have not, and there is nc
reason why we should not hear it all now
seeing that the city paid $1,000 for It,"
Councilman Knudsen ventured to state
that his friend from the Fifth ward had a
perfect right to have the whole report
read, and this prompted Councilman Wal
lace to turn upon Councilman Knudsen and
remind him that he at the meetings OF
the special committee was against giving
out the report to the public
AS soon as the councilman from tbs
Fourth bailiwick could get his breath h'
replied to the chairman OF the special com

ings of the stockholders in that corpora
ton, which Pottawattamie county is en-.
deavoTing to assess for taxation, and are
much pleased with the result of their in
vestigatlons.
The result Of the examination of the stock
lcdgers and other books of the Portland
company was most satisfactory to the legal
representatives of the county and they an
nounced yesterday that they are now pre-
pared for the trial, which will probably
come up at this term of court. to determine
the liability of the corporation for taxes
in this county.
The examination of the books County At
torney Hess stated yesterday, disclosed the
fact that there was absolutely no consld-
Grafton for the transfer of the stock of
the Portland Gold Mining company as in
corporated in Iowa to the Portland com
pany as Incorporated in Wyoming. after
Pottawattamie county had brought suit
to collect taxes against it. The stock in
the Wyoming corporation was issued to
A. Sutton, cashier of the First National
bank of Colorado Springs in large blocks,
and by him exchanged for the stock OF the
, Iowa corporation. The examination by
County Attorney Hess and Mr. Harl have
developed the fact that there are between
800 and 1000 holders of stock in the Port
land company.
as one result of the investigation, Pot
tawattamie county will move to set aside
the trausfer of the assets of the Iowa
corporation to the Wyoming corporation.
Examination of the stock ledger of the
company revealed the fact that the. stock
of James F. Burns, former president OF
the company and probably the largest in
dividual stakeholder, was held in several
names. some of which it was admitted were
| fictitious.

Judee Lecture in Church.

SIDNEY, Ia, Jana1.--(Special)- Judge w.
r. Green of the Fifteenth Iowa judicial
district lectured,, at, the. Methodist Eps-
copal church in this city Sunday night
on 1.-THE Church and the Law" He devoted
especial attention to the liquor question
and gambling houses and paid his respects
to the express office saloons. He referred
to the Hepburn Qolliver bill designed to
check this evil which has never got past the
committee in congress, and placed a good
share OF the blame, on Speaker Cannon.
He says the reason such bills are smothered
in committee is because of political con-
tributions made9Sbye breweries and distil-
ieries- Judge Gfsen said If the church peo-
pie in Speaker Cannon's district were
familiar with fhe Situation In Iowa and
would exert theiH1 influence there would be
a different story to tell. He spoke Of
gambling houses being Illegally allowed to
run in cities for the sake of the money they
paid into the city treasury, and as
remedy for this said he would favor a law
to place all such moneys in the general
school fund, and the official who would ac-
cept such money in violation of his Of
ficial oath, in the penitentiary.
