CONFERENCE ADJOURNS.

The conference of the Park Region
Of the Synod of Missouri, Ohio and
other states, of the German
Evangelical Lutheran church, which
has been in session since. Tuesday at
the German Evangelical Lutheran

came to a close Thursday noon. There
were thirty pastors present, among
whom were the twenty-five whose
names were published in last week 8
issue. Rev r.. Pfotenhauer of Ham
burg, Mimi, the president of the Park
Region, was unable to be present, but

THE OPERA HOUSE.

Post mortems don't interest people.
The opera house is dead.-Long live
the opera house. The Herald wants a
theater, SO do the people of Little
Falls: If one proposition can't 20
through, let's try another. But-let's
have the opera house.
The financial responsibility and the
business standing of the Kiewel Co.
is such that its announcement that it
will build if the people do their part,
means that an opera house will be con-
structed that will be a credit to the
city.
That being the case, and there being
no other substantial proposition before
the people, the people should endorse
the efforts now being made to provide
Little Falls with theater.
The hyena digs up grave bones, but
though it may experience pleasure
from it, nobody else gets anything but
q bad smell.
Let's have the opera house.

SEVERE LOSS BY FIRE
Peter Blair Of Swan River
Suffers Heavy Loss in
Stock and BUILDING

Peter Blair, living one and one-half
miles west of the Swan River church
in Swan River town, suffered a very
severe loss by fire Wednesday night.
The fire was discovered in the barn
about nine O'Clock, and gained such
headway, that the flames were very
soon beyond control, and spread to the
granary, machine sheds, and chicken
coop, all being burned to the ground.
Two horses, sixteen head OF cattle,
fourteen of which were mich cows,
ten sheep, and all the chickens, but
one that happened to be out of the
COOP, were burned to death. Some
pigs we're saved. About 80 tons of
hay and some grain were also de-
stroyed. ~
A boy Of Mr.. rBlair's managed to get
one of the horses as far as the door,
when the horse, overcome by the heat
and smoke, fell against him, knock
ing him outside AS he himself was
nearly overcome at the time, this was
q very lucky happening for if he
had been thrown toward the inside, he
probably would have been unable to
escape.
The house is the only building left
standing on the premises.
The origin of the fire is not known,
as there had not been light Of any
kind taken into the barn for months.
1t IS thought, that as the floor is con
structed Of hard wood, that COW
stepping on match that might have
been dropped, started the confagra-
tion
The loss will be large. The barn
was worth about $500, the horses about
$500, and the cattle at least $3.50.
There was $3.50 insurance on the
barn, $50 on the horses and $50 on
the cows. We we're unable to learn
the insurance on the other items
destroyed.
The loss will be hard blow to Mr..
Blair, who is a hard working and
honest man. His many friends will
be sorry to hear Of his great mis-
fortune.

DR.. E. E. Hall,
Health Officer,
Little Falls MINI.
My Dear Doctor:
In reply to yours of April 22nd.
We had supposed that the old law
permitted school boards and local
boards of health acting jointly to
exclude unvaccinated children from
school when smallpox existed in q
place, but soon after our meeting in
January we found this old law was no
longer in force. At the last meeting
Of the board (April 14thl certain
regulations relative to this matter
we're passed. (See enclosed copyl.
This answers your questions The
regulations state in effect that. un-
vaccinated children shall be excluded
from school or the school closed for q
period of three weeks If smallpox
appears in tho school. There 10 no
reason why vaccinated children from
a house where smallpox exists should
not go to school for such children win
not contract smallpox and will not be
q source of danger To other vaccinated
children in the school. -

MAYBE 4 DIVISION.
Report That N. P. Will
Make Freight Division
Here

& A report is in circulation that the
Northern Pacific officials have about
decided to make freight division at
Little Falls.
Railroad men have been discussing
the report, and believe there is some
thing In it. It is said that the policy
of the great road now is to shorten
divisions lnstead of lengthening them,
and on account of the shortening in
hours of labor caused by federal laws,
and for other reasons, that shorter
divisions are more practical.
A dispatcher is now. stationed here,
and this is the starting point for
several trains, while the freight
transfer business has greatly increased.

THE REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT.

Royalton, Mimi, Apr. ~, 1908.
Mr.. Editor: Would you kindly give
space in your valuable columns to a
correction I would like to make in
behalf of the assessors and for the
benefit Of the tax payers of Morrison
county, of a statement which appeared
in your issue of April 24th, wherein
it is stated the assessors classified the
value of real estate in the different
towns of the county. This statement
is not correct. The assessors had
nothing to do whatever with the
classification of real estate, as stated
This matter of classification of real
estate was brought before the assessors
at the meeting on the 22nd inst by
the county auditor, or his deputy, as
being the work of the county COM
and the assessor took no
part or action in the classification
whatever, as stated, and I cannot see
wherein any assessor would have the
right to suggest as to value of any
property outside of his own town or
territory; and if it be part Of the
county commissioners duties to
classify and fix values on property to
be assessed in the county, it would be
q saving to dispense with the assessor.
Very Respectfully,
CHAS. GILPATRICK.

FOR MEMORIAL DAY
Commander-ln.Chief Bur-
ton Issues General Or
der with Directions

Commander in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic Charles G..
Burton has issued the order for the
observance Of Memorial Day. It is as
follows: .s1
Memorial Day.
1. The thirtieth day of May is
dedicated to the Soldiers and Sailors
of the Union whose tents are pitched
upon the camping grounds of the
Silent, and whose ships are anchored in
the harbors of the Great Beyond.
It is replete with tender recollections
and cherished memories of the past it
invokes thanksgiving for the blessings
of the present and is pregnant with
hopes and inspirations for the future.
The sunrise gun; the flag at half
mast the marching columns of bowed
and bended veterans, whose steps are
timed to the mournful measure of
muff1ed drums; the singing of the
National anthems; the Memorial
address the decoration of the graves
of our dead and the strewing Of the
waters that run to the sea with
flowers, symbols of hope that is
eternal and of faith that is sublime !!
the Divine invocation and the funeral
salute, are object lessons in the school
|of patriotism, teaching unto the
American citizen the duties which he
owes to himself, his country and his
God.
H. Saturday: May 80, 1908, will
be fittingly observed by the comrades
of the Grand Army of the Republic as
Memorial Day. Children of the public
schools, as far as possible, under the
direction of their teachers or school
officials, and all patriotic people and
patriotic organizations should be
invited to participate in the
ceremonies of the day.
III. The address of President
Abraham Lincoln, at Gettysburg,
November 10Th, 1858, shall be read at
