three or four years ago Mr. Moses
built an engine OF the rotary type

His new pattern he hopes will over
come this defect. and if it does he
has accomplished what hundreds of
inventors. intending the famous
Westinghouse, have tried to do but
have failed.
Lyon County Reporter: The Red
wood has been a pretty busy stream
this week and caused some little
damage with the high water. A re-
port was sent here yesterday morn
ing that Lake Benton had broken
away the dam and was coming down
the Redwood with three foot wall
of water. It was reported as COM
ing from O. C. Gregg, but in letter
from Mr.. Gregg this morning he
stated that he did not send any such
report. A phone message later to
Lake Benton and back Strengthened
out things. The dam was still in
tact and safe, though a big overflow
was going over. The water is down
two inches or more there now

there are forty rods in one stretch
of this kind of watery road. The
road overseers have fenced off the
roads because of the danger to
farmers who may travel over them.
Our informant also said that should
dry weather continue all week many
fields could not be worked until next
week.
New Ulm News: A sad ending of
what promised to be brilliant and
useful life is that of Prof John S.
Carlson, who had been professor
of history and philosophy in Gus
tavus Adolphus college at St. Peter
for eleven years, and who, in an evil

he was dismissed from the faculty
of the Minnesota "U." Since then
he has been before the police Court
in Minneapolis at intervals for in
ebriety and served one term in the
