Waseca Herald: A most lalhent-
able combination was formed among
some high school boys, mostly
seniors, of Rochester, Owatonna,
Waseca. GAINESVILLE, Waterville, Fari-
bault and Mankato. It seems that
the boys had agreed to furnish to
one another the questions in such
subjects in State examinations as
were not set to occur at the same
hour throughout the state. They
had begun to carry out this scheme
when it was discovered and stopped.
A conference between Superintend-
ent Pickett. the boys parents and
the guilty boys of our school was
held yesterday. What other penalty
besides that of not having any of
their papers Of this springs examin-
atoms accepted will be meted out to
the culprits has not been. decided
upon. This is q most sorrowful affair
for allinterested in upright manhood
and womanhood. No doubt, when
the boys come to consider the
matter. and realize the dishonesty
of the act. their better selves will
condemn their own conduct, and the
experience, though bitter, will be a
lesson to them.

of the golden wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alois Palmer, the aged parents
of John Palmer, at one time in the
drug business in Redwood Falls, and
now at Duluth:
"Mr. Palmer is one of the three
surviving original settlers of Brown

Mack of the town of Milford and

west by the Chicago Land company

weeks to make the trip from what

here they located on tract of land.

town Of Milford and expected to lay
out townsite. This was later
changed to what now constitutes the
present limits of the city of New
Ulm. Mr.. Palmer took up a timber
claim along the Minnesota river in
the town of Milford, where he re-
sided until the Indian outbreak in
1862, when his home was destroyed
by fire and they sought refuge in
New Ulm. Prior to the outbreak
for three years Mr.. Palmer conduct
ed a government ferry, which was
used mainly by travellers and soldiers
from and to Fort Ridgely. He also
carried the first mail between Fort
Ridgely and New Ulm. 1t was Gus
tomary in those days to send letters
to Fort Ridgely intended for people
who really were in New Ulm, as no
postofice had yet been established.
Mrs. Palmer came to New Ulm with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Pelzl, who took a homestead in the
town Of Milford in 1857, and the fol

The assessment seems to have been

into the hall bearing banners OF Repre-
sentative Sherman, preceded by a band.
Their entry aroused considerable enthu-
Siasm.
On the call of the roll of states for
the vice presidential nomination. Della
ware yielded to New York. and limo
thy Woodruff took the platform to
nominate Sherman.
New Workers Win.
The point was made by MI. Woodruff
h a no republican ticket had ever been
defeated when a New York man was
on it, except once, and that was when
the opposing party was bright enough
to put a New Workman at the head of
its ticket.
The remark evoked much laughter
and applause.
"On behalf of a united delegation of
the pivotal state in the union-for as
New York goes SO goes the nation-I
present to you the name of Congress-
man James S. Sherman"
Cheer Cannon.
When Speaker Cannon arose to sec
ond the nomination of Sherman he was
given what was really one of the most
enthusiastic receptions accorded to any
man during the convention.
Il would rather be a d~oorkeeper in
the house of the Lord than to dwell in
the tents Of wickedness," he began.
Cheers and laughter greeted the re-
mark.
Cannon declared the platform adopt
ed by the convention was true to the
the country. Next he paid tribute to
Taft, as the nominee of the party,
saying of him that he was a broad,
cultured, judicial minded, executive Of
fetal who had answered every draft
made upon him with unfailing zeal

PEELED to pause until yells of delight
from the delegates had died away.
He then entered upon an earnest
eulogy of Sherman, sketching his serv-
ices to the country as a whole and
describing him as a man evidently
qualified to act as vice president.
If ever a contingency should arise,
which God forbid, that he should be
called upon to supplant the president,
there's no man l could trust more
to fulfill all the duties of that high
Office than Sherman He closed, pre-
dieting glorious triumph for Taft and

Norfolk, Neb., June 23.-Judge WEIGH,
in the district court of Knox county,
has made an important decision, which,
if affirmed by the supreme court, will
knock out the so-called trimmings Of

filed by the county attorney for ex-
penses incurred while travelling through
the county, such as railroad fare, liv-

ment with the board whereby they
would allow such expenses was in con-
travention of the statutes.
