NEGRO KILLED BY A TRAIN
Remains Had Lain Alongside Track .
=, Couple Of Days. F'4.FE

from SATURDAY Ddiiy.
The nangied remains of a negro
about twenty four years: of age were
found in the ditch alongside the
railroad track couple of miles east
of Bingham Lake Wednesday after
noon, says The Window Citizen. What
was left of the body may have lain
there for couple Of days. 1t was
found at the end of the section, hence
the section men did not discover it. The
body was almost severed in twain, an
arm was off, leg, and the other foot
which was found in the grass about
thirty feet away. Two buttons were
found in the lapel of his coat indicating
that he was a member of Pressman's
Union of ST. Louis. Besides a. wage
scale card, diamond Dick" novel
and an empty pocket book in his
inside pocket, there was nothing else
found about him. The name of d..
Smith was found on, his shirt. In
what particular way he was killed is
not known furtherthan that it was done
by a train going east. He may
have been riding on the bumper or the
blind baggage, or pushed off by some
other person. Word was sent from
Mountain Lake for Coroner Weiser,
who had the remains brought to VIM
dom and has since been trying to
find out the union to which the unfor-
tunate man belonged. The probability
is that he will be buried in the pot.
ter's field of the local cemetery, like
many others who has gone out into the
world and become lost to parents and
friends. ~.

]. G. Fowler filed today as can
didate for register of deeds.
Mr.. Fowler was register of deeds
from 1875 to 1887 and during his in.
cnmbency established record second
to none as title expert and an ac.
countant. He has filled several official
positions and always made good, never
forgetting when in office that he was
the servant of the people. He has been
dairy and food inspector for the past
six or seven years, which has necessi-
tated his being absent from home prac-
tically all of the time. He says he
is getting tired of this kind of a life
and wants to get in touch once more
with the good people of Blue Earth
county. ~ sia lfs
If Mr.. Fowler is nominated and
elected the people of Blue Earth county
can rest assured that the office of
register of deeds will be filled by a
capable and obliging gentleman and
will find the latch string of the office
door on the outside all the time.

JAKE Is MADE FAMOUS.

When Frank NJ. Eddy gave utterance
to that remark about Jake jacobson
eating pie with a knife" he probably
did not realize that the statement
would make the republican candidate
for governor famous the country over.
But it has come to pass. Jacobson's
name is appearing prominently in all
the leading newspapers and there is
more or less editorial comment besides
which is not actually to his discredit.
One newspaper, The Ohio State Jour
nal advises Jake to throw away his
knife and use his hands to manipu-
late the pie. Here is what the
Journal says:
1T is said that Yacob jacobson, the
republican candidate for governor in
Minnesota, eats pie with his knife.
II is hoped the nominee will abandon
this horrid custom. 1t is unrepubli
can. 1t is constitutional. Think of
a man who aspires to the suffrages of
a fork or a spoon or any other old aris-
tocratic way.
Possibly, in the presence of the Ia
dies who are sticklers for style, it
may be well to use knife, but when
a man gets by himself or with fell
low feeling, he does not want to be
restricted to conventional formalities,
he wants to eat his pie straight; take
it up in his hands, and bite it off i'm
great rich mouthfuls, and thus save
the divine sweetness there is in the
biting it off. This thing of cutting
off bites of pie into geometrical shapes
and sneaking it into the mouth on the
blade of a knife, is robbing pie of its
noblest junction. There would be as
much sense in breathing oxygen in
octuple moulds as feeding on rhomobold
chunks of pie. /
90 says the solemn person, you
can't always take up pie in your fling
ers,' Then it isn't pie Then it is a !
misfit. Too much water, juice, butter,
awkward manipulation, too much of
or other, where as with a
true pie there is not too much of any
thing. Take it up in your hands, va
cob. Throw away the old knife. Be
a son of nature and eat pie from your
hand, and there are four in our family |
who will vote for you"

George Schram, one of the rural

week that would put to shame any of
Ringling's performers. While he was
driving along down the big long lie
Sueur hill, his horse stumbled and
took a slide, cart, driver and mail bags,
straight down the high mud bank.
Mr. Schralu shot over the horses
head and landed on his feet a few
feet ahead of his tobboganing horse
and rig. He skated on down ahead,
to the bottom, gave one desperate jump
aside just in time to avoid getting
mixed up with his rig that landed
with crash in a clump of young bass
woods 20 feet below the level of the
road. He finally got his horse and
rig Strengthened out. Only shaft
of the rig was broken, and George
was pretty well ornamented with vel
low clay and sustained good shaking
up. Considering that he is near the
zoo pound mark, it was really quite
feat, and well worth mentioning.
