A PIONEER GONE
George LUnd Stabler Is Called
From Earth
EARLY SETTLER HERE
Warned People to Flee For Safety
to Sauk Centre at Time of In
dian Massacre

George Lund Stabler, whose death
and funeral were briefly noticed in
the last issue of The Herald, vas
bern Jan. Z, 1881, in Leeds, England.
He came to America in 1S48 and en-
tered business with his brother, Dean,
il Rockland, Maine. On account of
poor health, he returned to England
at the age of twenty. Not receiving
the benefit he expected, he came to
the territory of Minnesota and was
connected with the Minnesota Town
site Company. He laid out townships
as far north as Holmes City and Ash
by. He was a territorial pioneer in
every sense of he word. Never ply
sicaIly strong, he endured hardships
in the early development of the state
that those of this generation cannot
even imagine. ..
Charmed with the beauty of two
lakes, he returned and located on the
shore of one of them, calling it Grove
Lake, where his brother, Dean, and
family joined him later. He remain
ed three until he went to st. Cloud
to enlist for service in the Civil war.
Upon arriving in st. Cloud, the re-
port reached him that the Indians had
commenced hostilities. He knew that
danger threatened his brother and
the few settlers near, and being unable
TO get any kind of conveyance, for
every one was flying to st. Cloud for
safety, he covered the entire distance
from ST. Cloud to Sank Centre on
foot in one day.
Early the next morning he and
Winter Jaques, accompanied by Jesse
Draper with his team, went to Grove
Lake and succeeded in bringing them
all to Sauk Centre in safety. Forum
ately he found all of the families at
the Stabler home, holding Sunday
morning service They started at
once for Sauk Centre and missed the
Indians by only a few hours. Mr..
Stabler served all through the Indian
troubles as scout.
In 1863, Mr.. Stabler married Miss
Matilda S. Skillman, of Shakopee and
went to live on his claim one and a
half miles north of Sauk Centre, where
they resided until within few years
ago, when they took up their residence
in Minneapolis. 1t was in this Mime
apolis home at 745 25th Ave-. N. E.,
that Mr.. Stabler .died
Five children, Luella g., Charles A.,
S. French, George Garrison and Will
liam Carlton, are all living except
Carlton, who died in 1892. All of the
family were with Mr.. Stabler at the
time of his death and accompanied the
remains here for burial. During his
residence in Sauk Cnetre, Mr.. Stab
ler was a member of the Congrega-
tional church.
The funeral services were held at
2:3O p. m. Wednesday, October %.
from the residence of his niece, Mrs.
j. H. Simonton, Rev. F. H. Oehler,
officiating. Interment was in Odd Eel
lows cemetery.

NIGHT OFfLECTION
How the Returns We're Received
By The Herald
HOST TO THE PUBLIC
Accurate and frequent Reports En-
tertdined the Entire COmmun-
ity at the City Halt

Election night in Sauk Centre this
year witnessed a new departure in
the matter of receiving returns. The
Herald was host to the public. The
Herald rented the city hall and there,
with plenty of light and heat, COM
Portable seats and all necessary ac-
cessories, gave full returns from z
o'clock Tuesday evening until O'Clock
Wednesday morning. That The Her.
aids enterprise was fully appreciat-
e. was evidenced by the crowds that
assembled early and staid late.
In order to secure the returns The
Herald availed itself of the fine SER
vice afforded by the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange Company, the
Minnesota Central Telephone Company
and the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company, which strung two
wires into the city hall for the use
OF the paper. Manager ]. w. Ward
and his able corps or assistants did
all in their power to give the best
possible service and succeeded admir-
ably. The returns began to come in
early, shortly after seven O'Clock, and
continued with great regularity until
o'clock in the morning. Four oper.
ators were on duty at the central Of
flee and Mr.. Ward gave the matter
his personal supervision. E. H. Os-
burn, lineman for the company, strung
the wires into the city hall and plac-
Ell the instruments and was on hand
while returns were being received to
render any assistance necessary. The
Herald fully appreciates the service
given by the companies above men
toned.
AS supplementary to the telephone
reports The Herald also secured the
full bulletin reports of the Western
Union Telegraph company which were
delivered promptly at the city hall by
d special messager This service was
first class and covered the country
fully.
AS the bulletins and returns were
read it was interesting to watch the
crowd. First one side cheered and
then the other as the returns favored
Taft or Bryan, Jacobson or Johnson.
AS early as nine o'clock it began
to be evident that Taft and Johnson
were winners. This satisfied some
on each side of the political fence.
while those who had worked and vot-
ed for both were particularly exhub-

left practically no sore spots
in Sauk Centre. Everybody at the
city hall was happy, ,>and, in the words
Of Schley, there was glory enough
for ALL"
On one point the crowd was un-
aEimous, that The Herald had made a
great hit by furnishing free returns
and a comfortable place to hear them
in. On its part, The Herald was
glad to do it and is always glad to do
what it can for the people.

MAD KINGS FANcles.
Remarkable Report Of King Ludwies
Eccentricities.

Special to Bryan Morning Eagle.
Berlin, Dec. 22.-To justify the in
generation of King Ludwig II of Ba-
varia as a mailman in 1896, few days
before he drowned himself in the
Lake of Starnberg, publication has
been begun in Munich of remark.
able report made by the Bavarian
Cabinet to secret session of the Diet
This report gives new details of the
eccentricities which led TO his Mai.
esty's dethronement.
From his earliest childhood King
Ludwig evinced signs of insanity,
as did his brother the still living and
insane King Otto. Ludwig began to
arouse comment in 1864 through his
disinclination to receive foreign rul-
ers or diplomats. Later he developed
dislike of meeting people, declined
to attend church, built himself lux
urious private chapel. King Ludwig,
the report goes on to state, desired
to exchange his kingdom of Bavaria
for the island of Cyprus. He had
given orders TO find a country where
absolutist government was possible.
The orders were carried out and the
king caused letter to be written to
, the Turkish Sultan offering to ex-
change Bavaria for Cyprus.
1t was his Majesty's unparalleled ex.
travagance which finally caused his
ldethronement. He spent millions of
dollars in building gorgeous castles,
and embellishing them in the most
costly style He constantly demanded
increases in the civil list and dis
missed or ordered the arrest of min.
listers who declined to carry out his
wishes.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE.
Some Valuable Hints from One Who
Has Grown uia Vegetable.

In a recent letter, Mrs. f. z. Grimes,
one of the most successful asparagus
growers in the nation, has the follow
Ing to say of the culture of that ex-
cellent plant:
There are two methods by which
plants can be secured-from seed and
from roots. If the roots can be OBJ
tanned from reliable firm, this is the
quickest way to start a bed and the
earlier returns will more than pay for
the plants; but roots should not be
over two years old. Stunted roots and
two-year-old-roots are so nearly alike
in appearance that an unreliable firm
will sometimes palm the former off
for the latter. Some time ago the writ
er ordered $50 of the two-year-old
roots, and, at the same time, planted
roots grown from seed from the home
garden. Those from the nursery did
not show spear above the ground,
while home grown plants have formed
thrifty body. but roots can be pur-
chased from reliable firms with good
results. The writer has had good
success taking up the young plants
that had grown from a fallen seed in
an old bed. These plants should be
taken up after rain, being careful
to take up enough soil so as not to
disturb the young plants. If plants
form clump, leave them together;
dig a hole large enough to set the
roots in as if they had grown there;
place in rows or beds in a shady
place, where the ground is cultivated
These plants should not be disturbed
till two years old.
If one cannot secure plants from
an old bed, buy seed from a reliable
firm. The seed should be sown early
in the spring and when plants are two
years old transplant into a bed where
the roots can remain permanently. If
properly cared for the bed will be
profitable for 25 years. The selection
of the ground is quite important. If
for early use, or for market and if rap
Id growth is desired, the soil should
be little sandy and should lie where
1t can have the direct rays of the sun.
The ground should be as free from
rock, rubbish and weeds as possible
This soil should be heavily covered
with well rotted manure. The ground
plowed deeply and well pulverized.
The rows should be marked out with
low, making furrow six inches
d. sp in which to set the roots. The
US should be four feet apart AS
paragus should not be cut till the
second year after planting, and the
seasons cutting should not be pro-
longed later than the middle of June,
as this would be injurious to the life
and vitality of the roots"

WHOLESALE TELEPHONY.
Talking to Thirty-Five at Once Over
the Same Wire.

Dependent for many years on an an
tiquated system by which it was nec
essary to call up each station house
separately, thus losing much valuable
time, the Philadelphia department OF
public safety, which has charge of the
city's police, recently installed a sys
TEN of simultaneous telephony by
which a message may be sent from a
single transmitter to 50 points al
once.
The wires are so connected that, by
throwing a single switch all the sta
tions are brought into the circuit and
the words spoken by the operator at
the central station are heard at each
of the outlying stations simultaneous
ly. The operators are provided with a
harness holding both transmitter and
receiver to their head so that their
hands may be left free to operate type
writers to take down messages.
When the switch at the central sta.
tion is not thrown into the circuit the
telephones may be used to converse
with single station as usual without
necessitating the use of another tele-
phone. Similarly 1t also is possible
to have message come from any one
station and so to all the others stimuli
taneously without waiting to be re-
peated at the central Office.
The system, says the Technical
World Magazine, has been perfected
by Philadelphian, after ten years
experimenting. 1t is said that vi
emma newspaper has a somewhat sim
liar apparatus by means of which it
sends out news by telephone to up
ward of 500 subscribers.
