= Echo, Feb. 6.-The disappearance OF
Rev. f. l.. Honeywell from his home
i'm Wood Lake remains as much of a
mystery, at the end of two weeks,
as ever. The report that he was at
the home of. his mother, at Vinton
Iowa, appears to have been without
foundation, particularly since recent
letters have been received here written
by the mother to her son.
As the missing man was seen walk
ing on the railroad track west of Wood
Lake OH the day of his disappearance
and was thought to have been insane, a
systematic search has been made i'll
that vicinity and at Hanley Falls,
where it was supposed he boarded a
south bound Great Northern train. As
to his whereabouts public opinion is
still divided. Some still cling to the
suicide theory and others evidently be-
lieve that Mr.. Honeywell has shook
the dust of Wood Lake from his feet
and is now well out of the country.
1t was known that Mr.. Honeywell
had but a small amount of money with
him and up to date no good reason for
his going has been offered.

From MONDAYS Daily.

Over in North Mankato the people
or some OF them, are talking of bring
ing the license question to the front
again. No general sentiment in favor
of license exists, but it can be made
an issue by minority. One thing is
true, and that is that If it is an is
sue, it will bring the voters out as
nothing else will.
The spring election occurs four
weeks from tomorrow, but as yet
there has been very little politics talk
ed acros the river. There is no
doubt that when the time comes there
will be plenty of candidates for the
offices. North Mankato has plenty of
competent, capable men, and there is
no doubt that the offices will continue
to be well filed.

st. Paul, Feb. G-Commissioner Slater
of the state dairy and food commission,
it is rumored, will shortly tender his
resignation to Governor Johnson The
rumor, however, is unconfirmed.
Mr.. Slater, is it said, has his eye OH
one of the professorships at the state
agricultural school. In fact he has been
practically at the head of the dairy
department of that institution for some
months conducting it in the interest of
the state dairy department.
His appointment would come from
the university board of regents and
should it take place, would provide Mr..
Slater with better position than he
now has, better because of the fact
that his tenure of office would not be
subject to changing administrations
The salary would be the same.
