Man IN A Female GARB
HE ATTEMPTED TO HOLD-UP a
SPRINGFIELD RESIDENT.
Lively Wrestling Match Ensued and
Doc" Welsh Finally Extricated
Himse From Grasp.

Springfield, Jan. ga bold hold
up, which had all the thrilling evil
dences of professional at the game,
took place on the grade near the
Welsh slough Monday night. "Doc"
Welsh was the central figure in .he
exciting episode, while a man dis
guised in woman's wearing apparel
proved to be the hold-up artist. The
story doc" tells of the affair is to
the effect that during the afternoon
he came to town with beef cow,
which was sold at Bigot's market,
and after being weighed up he deliv-
cred it at the slaughter house. By
the time he started for home it was
already quite late in the evening and
dark as well. His trip was unmolest-
ed until he reached the grade about
one-half mile from his home, when
a woman jumped into the wagon
and at the point of revolver de-
manded his money. 'Doc" claimed he
told the 'artist" that he had none,
but after being quickly assured that
he would be killed if he did not pro-
duce his ready cash. he. began to
take things seriously and Immediately
grappled with the woman. 1t was at
this point he discovered he was not
dealing with woman, but that it
was man disguised in ladies'
clothes; wearing a wrapper and sort
of fascinator tied about the head,
with long fur scarf around his
neck. In the scramble to master the
situation both of the men fell out of
the wagon, and at the same time
the team took fright and ran away.
doc" finally extricated himself and
made lively dash for home, while
his antagonist disappeared i'll the OPP
posite direction. Arriving at home
'Docv and his brother John armed
themselves with guns and started i'll
search of the fellow, but they failed
to find him. They went to the spot,
however, where the hold-up took
place and found the end of the fur
scarf lying upon the ground. Whether
the affair was perpetrated as joke
or whether it was the genuine article
is not known, but Doc is not sat
isfied with such treatment, and claims
he is reasonably sure who the party
is and threatens to prosecute. He
was in town yesterday afternoon and
consulted with County Attorney
Erickson, and the chances are that
an arrest will be made at Unce.

WASTING OUR RESOURCES.

"Thirty years from now white
paper will command such price
that the size of newspapers will be
reduced to minimum, and cotton
fiber will be used exclusively in its
manufacture The novel will disap-
pear, as well as the yellow journal,
while cheap literature and ragtime
musical compositions, which have de.
moralized the sophisticated, will be
limited to narrow circle"
This is the view expressed by Will
liam LANCE the wellknown lbsen
translator, who also enjoys the distinc
tion of having introduced Mark Twain,
Tolstoy, President Roosevelt and 9th
er notables to the German public.
Herr LANCE made the above state
ment to a New York Herald reporter
after having received notice from his
publisher that paper had advanced
twenty per cent in price in Germany
for the second time i'll eighteen
months.
Il do not understand you Ameri-
cans" he continued. you have in
your northern and western states
hundreds of millions of acres of idle
soil where at one time stood magni-
ficent forests, equaled by none in the
world. This land, apparently, is not
adapted to agriculture. Why do you
not make it useful to you before
the fertile soil is washed away into
the rivers and CULTS?
81 am informed that the land can
be had at from SIS to $50 an acre.
With soft wood forest covering it an
acre would bring $500 to $4,000
sixty years from now. Of course the
government, to aid the forests, could
exempt them from taxation. Forests
would not only improve the climate
and value of the surrounding agri-
cultural districts, but would protect
valleys and the rivers against floods. .
Talking of protecting the river
banks against floods, Herr LANCE ex-
pressed surprise that the government
was not planting alders instead of
willows along the places where nat
ural jetties are desired. The alder,
he explained, is not damaged by high
water, and collects sand and gravel
for the strengthening of the shores.
Sweden" he continued, whence
Germany imports great quantities OF
paper an pulp, has begun to replant its
forests. They are learning from Ger
many, which has the most magnifi,
cent system of forest culture in the
world, not tree being permitted to
be felled before there is assurance
that another will be put in its place.

WelI-KnoWn Lawyer Succumbs
After a Long Illness.
Was a Member of the Supreme
Bench for Four Years.
For a Long Time Prominent in
This Section of State.

After a struggle of many months
Hon. John A. Lovely, formerly a mem
Der of the supreme court of the state,
passed quietly away few minutes
before four O'Clock at Albert Lea yes
terday afternoon, surrounded by his
wife, son, daughter and near friends.
Judge Lovely was sixty-four years old
on Nov. Is last, and had resided at
Albert Lea since 1867, except during
the time he was in st. Paul serving as
an associate justice of the supreme
cutting attorney of Freeborn county,
and won place in the front rank of
the lawyers of the state. The record
of his attainments in the law, both
as lawyer and Judge, is written in
the decisions of the supreme court.
The funeral will be held at two
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. The pail
bearers will be attorneys who have
known Judge Lovely for many years.
He was not a member of any fraternal
order. Judge Lovely was a member
of the Episcopal church, and it is
proposed to have the funeral exercises
at the court house, so that as many
of the late jurist's old friends as pos
sible can show their respect by attend
ing the services.
Judge John A. Lovely was born at
Burlington, Vermont, November Is,
lS43. He received liberal education
in the schools of his native state.
His father died when John was a
small boy; John supported his mother
and invalid sister by teaching school
from the time he was Is years of age
until he was 81, studying law i'll his
spare moments and during vacations.
In 1868 he removed with his mother
and sister to Wisconsin. He was add
mitted to the Bar i'll 1864, at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, and Immediately
entered upon the practice of his pro-
fession at WATERFOWL, Wis. He locat-
ed in Albert Lea i'll 1867.
He was elected Justice of Supreme
court in November, 1898, taking his
seat upon the bench i'll January, 1900.
He leaves surviving him Mrs. Lovely
one son. Vert, who is married and re-
sides upon farm i'll North Dakota,
one daughter, Ruth, now the wife of
DR.. Wilcox, residing at Walker, Mimi,
and his invalid sister. His mother died
about eighteen years ago, and was bur
led at Albert Lea.

Here is some excellent advice from
The Minneapolis Journal: eff the re-
publican leaders of the state want to
elect governor this year, they will
have to settle their differences i'll a
friendly way and let the county and
state conventions demonstrate who is
wanted for a candidate. Any attempt
to organize a party within party,
or to coerce the party by a campaign
fund and an array of hired strikers,
will be resented at the polls. Why
not give the people chance as well
as county conventions" The republi-
can party is not so much in need of
gub&rnatorial candidates as it is har-
mony.

The story is told that there are
establishments scattered through the
United States where spooks for spir-
itualistic seances are made OH a large
scale. A really mysterious spirit cab
met can be obtained for SIS, while the
spirit cord, all prepared, costs 50. A
good talking head costs $50 All spirit
tie may be had for $3.50, and it has
knot studded with nails. Appliances
for materializing dozen spirit forms
at once on the floor to full-sized spir-
its are offered at the best spook fac
tories for $50. Tables capable of be-
ing moved by unseen powers cost only
$25. But, after all, these are not
necessary to an ordinary seance as
long as the medium has moderate
skill, glibness, of speech and audacity

| The county commissioners net
yesterday and finished the days
work without necessity for a see
ond days meeting.
Barring the allowing of &C.
counts made necessary for road
building, there was no appropri-
alton and the bridge work goes
on with vigor. The gentlemen
ordered work upon a street near
the cemetery involving about 800
yards and costing about $3.50 or
$500. The city will do the work
and the county furnishes the
macadam.
The committee appointed to
assess damage on the Mineral
Spring road, reported that there
were no complaints and there
fore no need for the committee.
1t was ordered upon motion
that the county road force under
Superintendent Thompson, pro-
ceed at once to work on the
bridges at Geer's mill and at Or
ange factory. Three of the most
important bridges have been re-
placed and these will be rebuilt
in the order named. The loss of
30 many bridges has operated
strongly against the farmers and
they have had difficulty reaching
Durham. 1t is believed that ev-
cry bridge will have been re-
placed by the middle of Novem-
Der.
