SHORT COURSEF0R FARMERS
One Months Term Is Planned on the
State University Farm.
From Mondays .Da1lN.

The state university has planned
for a months term for farmers which
begins January. 18th and closes Febru-
airy 18th. The short course for farmers
was established by the University of
Minnesota to meet the needs of the
large class of enterprising farmers who
are unable to avail themselves of the
regular courses in agriculture. 1t has
been offered for eight years, and as
it now stands is the result of meeting
the problems of the practical, progres-
sive farmer
The time devoted to this course is
so Slimited that the selection of topics
has been made with great care, in or
der to give the largest work will be
given in lecture form, covering such
important branches as agriculture, hor-
ticulture and livestock growing. Spe-
cial attention will be given to the
Judging of grains, soils and animals.
The women attending the course may
take up the regular plan of work, the
lectures on horticulture, dairying and
poultry offering special topics of in
terest to them, while the opportunity
of visiting the regular school classes
in Domestic Science and Art will be
of particular value to the home maker
of the farm.
Lectures on various subjects will be
given by the instructors in the school,
and the four weeks will be filled with
active study. This course offers ex-
ceptional opportunities for the study of
the latest investigations in agriculture
and their application to work on the
farm. 1t should appeal to the man
ambitious to become familiar with the
best agricultural thought and practice.

STAY OUT OF POLITICS.

Many disappointed candidates will
echo the warning, "stay out of poll
tics" the solemn advice to young men
in general given by Alderman John
Coughlin of "de Foist"- "Bathhouse
John" of political notoriety-in ad-
dressing the children of Catholic
parish at a church fair He has been
in politics in practical way so long
he ought to know. Now this is what
he wanted them to remember:
"Stay ont of politics." he said. "Be
good citizens; get business of your
for someone who has a good business.
Remember, that honest labor and hav-
ing happy home and a family is
better than holding an office that is
always a disappointment to You.
Remember what L say. l know
what I'm talking about" Was he
dashing ambitious hopes of youth to
succeed him? He was emphatic about
the personal cost of practical politics.
NO, boys" he added, don't go into
politics.; if yOu do you'll be sorry.
This is straight. Take my advice and
you'll never run for office. If you
should lose-well, that amt so bad
for you might quit then. But if you
win it's all off.
''That is, your peace and happiness
is all off. You don't even own your
self any more. You've sold yourself
to the public. You're everybody's SER
want. You can't enjoy the joys of
private life like you could if you had
lost. Running for office looks good,
but if you win the fruit turns to gall
and ashes, as the poet says" Cough
lin is poet himself, having done, he
says, the lyric Dear Midnight of
Love-"

Kerns and Hebron

Mrs. Roscoe Eldred of Mankato
spent several days last week visiting
relatives in this vicinity.
The schools at Kerns and Hebron
closed last Friday SO that the teach
ers, Miss Bennett and Miss Lorry,
could attend the teachers association
at Mankato.
Rev. Bacon gave an interesting dis
course last Sunday morning to a
large congregation on ''The Falling
Leaves"
William G.. Clark and Mrs. Bacon
were elected delegates to the Nicollet
County Sunday School convention to
be held at st. Peter next Saturday
and Sunday.
Carl Hanson is shredding corn for
w. H. Sharp and William Clark this
week.
Miss Una HOdson, teacher at Blue
Earth, and Miss Blanche Door, teacher
at Wells, visited at their homes in
Hebron last Friday and Saturday,
after attending the teachers associa-
ton at Mankato.
Quite number of republicans in
this vicinity remained at home on
election day, which shows how little
interest some people take in the affairs
of the state and nation, but your cor
respondent does not recall one demo-
crat who stayed away from the polls.
The woods were well filled with
wolf hunters last Sunday, but the
wolves are shy of people with guns.
There is plan on foot to get out
fifty or sixty men from Mankato and
this vicinity on the 18th of this
month for an old fashioned wolf hunt.
1t is hoped they will be successful in
exterminating the whole gang. The
brutes keep up their nightly howlings
and it is woe to the chickens or
sheep that stray far away from the
farm.
The Judson Concrete company has
its building nearly inclosed.

there has been the general routine of
street cleaning, ETC., side walk repairs,
etc., which would be rather cumbersome
to report in detail.
Building Permits.
Nine outside building permits have
been granted and two inside permits.
In connection with building permits
there seems to be a great deal of
general Indifference, which causes our
assessor great deal of unnecessary
annoyance, and it might be well if the
attention of the public were called to
the ordinance in connection with build

Man Well Known in Railway and Wool
Circles SucCumbs to Heart Fail
lmc After Short Illness.

H. l.. Downing died at noon today
from heart failure after an illness last
ing two days Mi Downing was
first stricken yesterday morning in
Main street while riding in his auto
mabile. He was taken to his home and
seemed to show signs of Improvement,
but alarming symptoms of return of
the attack became manifest this
morning. Mr.. Downing has been well
known in this city and state since his
first coming here in 1893, as a railroad
man, the local representative of the
N. Y Central lines. He was trans
ferred from here to San Francisco for
the same corporation remaining there
about one year Upon leaving San
Francisco he went 10 Denver where he
was travelling freight agent of the
Chicago y Northwestern line, As
commercial agent of the G. NJ, and st.
Paul road he returned to this city, lat
en- becoming travelling agent for the
Union Pacific With this position his
activities in the railroad line ceased
and he became connected with G. j.
commission merchants. Mr.. Downing
was u member of the Commercial club
and one of its board of governors
He was n native of Ohio, and
about SO years of age. He is survived
by Mrs Downing. Arrangements for

BELL GUINNESS
WAS |NC|NERATED
Dentist Who Did Work for Her
Identifies Jaw Bone Found
In Ruins as Hers.
HELGELEIN'S BODY BURIED.
Now Certain First One Exhumcd Was
His---Reaching Final Stages of
Murder Mysteries.

Laporte, Ind. May 16--The burial
last night of Andrew NJ. Helgelen
marks the beginning of the final stage
of the Guinness farm mysteries SO far
as human knowledge is concerned Two
more corpses, supposed to have been
those of Jennie Olsen and ole O. Buds
burg, have been partially identified.
but to the identity of the remaining
cadavers, no clew exists that gives
promise of fulfillment. The relics taken
from the death farm, such as watches
and rings, may ultimately lead to the
determination that some certain miss
ing individual was caught in the GUM
ness trap. but this will give almost no
aid in Identifying any particular body
The potters' field Is most likely to be
the ultimate resting place of these
seven bodies.
Yesterday witnessed two conclusive
findings regarding the bodies unearthed
in the barnyard or taken from the
smoldering ruins of the farm house:
one, by the dentist, who bridged Mrs.
Guinness lower jaw with artificial
teeth, and established that the piece of
jaw bone found in the ruins was from
her skull; the other subscribed to by
three EXPERTS sHOM lIldl tue hiSt bDuy
taken from the barnyard of the farm,
was that of Andrew Helgelein.
The finality of these conclusions
leaves few major matters which are ca
pable of solution to be brought to light,
The methods by which the victims of
the farm were put to death probably
may never be known; to date there is Il
total lack of evidence on this point. The
identity of the seven corpses remaining
unknown Is another puzzle and the ex-
tent to which Ray Lamphere shared
in the secrets of Mrs. Guinness is a
third Only the last of these may be
determined and until the man Is
brought to trial and either acquitted or
convicted, nothing approaching certain
ty will be known on this point. The
state insists that It has positive evil
dence against Lamphere and the de-
Tense as positively states that the pris-
oner cannot be proven guilty. The cir
cumstances which have become known
are almost equally balanced 80 far
as Iamphere's part in the tragedy Is
concerned and judicial process only can
make clear their relative value The
case has, in short, reached stage
where only the courts, through grand
Jury and open trial proceedings, can be
relied upon TO settle the questions
which are to be brought before them,
The grand jury, II is announced, VIII
begin 10 investigate the evidence gath
cred by Sheriff Smulzor and Prosecutor
Smith on Monday
It's findings, however, Will shed littlc
light on the subject and the details OF
rs deliberations are not likely To be-
come known.
