WANTS TO QUIT US|
Motley Paper Advises Sep.
aration From Morrison
County

Motley Mercury: It is about time
that some move was started by which
this part of MOI rison county would
break away from the rest Of the
county. We are away up here in one
corner Of the county where We receive
but very little benefits from the
county which : our position in the
county at large would enti,le US to.
Our interests and the interests of
the rest cf Morrison county have very
little in comm on. On the other hand
the int rests of Cass and Todd counties
are Of vital importance to us as are our
interests to them.
Morrison county has always slighted
this part Of the county. Evidently
thinking that they would lose it some
time and that they would give it as
little help as possible. Nor DOES the
prospe cts for lettering this cor dition
seem any brighter for the future.
We will always bo iu the light as q
bur den to them, while they will be a
detriment to our progress. We need a
bridge across the Long Prairie river
the worst way this year but there: is
very little prospects of our getting any
other needed improvement. It is
high time We were breaking loose.

at st. 9abriel's hospital, in which q
~ short bullet was taken from the

way between the knee and the thigh
bone, glsncing and lodging in the
cavity Of the thigh. '.
He was taken to the hospital ut the
time, where he remained for about a
week receiving treatment for it. As
the bullet did not seem to bother the
child, no operation was performed on
him at the time, aud he was taken
home. Later his leg began to hurt
when he stepped, and blood poison
set in. 1t was then found that the
above mentioned operation Was
necessary. @
The child went through the opera

MAYOR MOEGLEIN FOR AN
OTHER TERM.

Mayor George f. Moeglein will be.
q candidate for reelection as mayor.
Every indication points to his success.
Mayor Mceglein has enueavored in
his Official position to carry out the.
desires of the great maj .rity of the.
people of the city. It is impossible
to please rybodyt and the official
who tries that theory will fail so
far as he could in his position, and
consistent with fairness and iberallty,
the mayor has tried to give the great
majority Of citizens such an ad.
mlnstration ss Little Falls should
have. His long and faithful career as
alderman. embracing period If
stress and con hict when strong and
good men were needed, q time which
tried the citizenship of many, proved
the mayor to be loyal and true to the
best interests of the city. There is no
SUCH crisis impending now, bot if
there were, Mayor .Moeglein would do
bis part as wtli as when be was alder
man. 1t does not pay to forget those
who stood by the people when great
interests were at stake. Happily the
ran Cor and recrimir alton cf that time
has passed away, yet those who were
loyal then deserve remembrance.
It is charged that Mr.. Moeglein IS
too conservative. In tho next breath,
1t is said tho administration mas been
too liberal. There 10 a manifest
inconsistency here, only explained BY
lack Of anything else to say. The
voters are too broadminded to take
stock in anything Of the kind, and
Mayor MoeRlein's reelection will te
q testimonial of confidence in him
which he deserves

Workmep, the oldest fraternal
insurance order In the United Statas.
and the parent of all the rest. has
changed its Insurance system in this
state. where the order has been In
existence Thirty two years.
The follow ing circular, issued to
members of the LEGAL lodge the local
officers, will be Of interest:
The Ancient Order Of United
Workmen is the Oldest Of all fraternal
organizations and has done mura
good in helping the distressed and
the widows and orphans of its
members than any other oreanixs-
tion you might name. having paid
out in death benefits alone over 1e0
million dollars. In the state of
Minpescta the order also ranks among
the btss and has expended over &
million dollars, or more than has
been paid out by any other fraternity.
in the 80 years they have been DOING
business as q separate jurisdlct,on.
and today they tffer better induce-
ments for staying in the ranks. than
pt ssib)y can be offered Dy any othar
new organization that may solicit vonr
membership, and the members shonld
feel pre- I'D of the fact that thew
belong to the best of any of the
fraternal orders.

slider that ever since you Joined the
order your loved ones have been fullv
protected by the amount stated in
the certificate, without any shaving
down, or non-payment in case it
should have happened that you had
been called upon to join the silent
ranks, and had not died in Just the,
way your certificate prescribed
That our pre- sent plan is perfect or
just and equitable, is far from It. and
propositions to have it changed have
come up from time to time, but the
membership has voted them down al
soon as proposed. However the grand
lodge that met in st. Paul last week
adopted y new plan, and If the present
membership will give it a careful and
thorough study, they will no doubt
find that the plan is not ss severe as
could have been expected, and that
there has been no Inducements for the
young men to join our ranke. The
plan is what is called the level rate
plan, and the members are assessed
according to their age on last BIRTH
day, when the rates go into effect,
The enclosed slip gives the rate for
each age based on 81. 600 Insurance,
and az it is figured that assessments
per year is all that will be REQUIRED
for years TO come on this plan. You
can readily see that 1t is not going to

'The public are insisting upon de-

Eytel at meeting of the directors of
the German American Central Society,
"and all the items of this interesting
bill should be explained"
The other directors last night dis
cussed the idea with much heat, and
it was decided to instruct the commit
tee on municipal affairs to demand an
inspection of :he bills from the Board
of Freeholders, 80 that copy of the
items can be published" as one of the
members expressed it.
What We want to know" said an
other member, "is just how and where
the hard earned cash of the taxpayers
of the county was expended"
President George Grimme expressed
the opinion that, in view of the fact
that the public would have to pay the
bills, they are entitled to know the de-
tails.
The committee to which the matter
was referred is made up of George

Business Partner.

PATERSON, May 2S.-August Herr
mann, of this city, who was stricken
blind two years ago, but still managed
TO earn a living for his family. has
been deserted by his wife. who took
their son of II years. and daughter of
IL, with her in her fight.
Hermann blames Jacob Cook. who
mad been an admirer of his wife before
Hermann met her, and who was taken
into the Hermann household at her
request. for the desertion of his wife.
For thirteen years Hermann and his
wife lived happily. Then he suffered
a severe illness which left him totally
blind, but with his son to guide him
went bravely out to make a living in
Paterson. He peddled teas and coffee
from house to house, earning enough to
keep the family from want.
AT Mrs Herrmanns suggestion Cook
was taken into the home at 276 Fifth
avenue, ard made a partner in the
husbands business.
Mrs. Hermann left this note to
Hermann.
Don't worry about us. We never
agree, anyway, and it only turns out
a beggar's living. l am sick of it.
