LEGALLY Dead; Otherwise Alive.

John Forester, former resident of
Albany, Mimi, may be alive and pros
pering somewhere in the great west
He was declared legally dead by
Judge Hansen of the Probate Court,
and his estate, consisting of 200 acres
of improved farm land in the town of
Albany, was divided among his wife
or legal widow, perhaps. and their
six children. The case is without a
parallel in this county. In May, 1893,
John Forester, a prosperous farmer,
told his wife and children that he
believed there was gold to be found
in the mountains of Idaho and tn
he was going after it. He said h.
would go on ahead and when he had
located he would send for the family
He did not offer to sell his farm or
dispose of any of his belongings, ten
ing his wife she could rent it if she
decided to come west From that day
to this not a word has been heard
of Forester.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Music in Mexico.

according to the American consul
! at Monterey Mexico everybody in
that sunny land has love of music,
ys Musical America" The COM
mon laborer who works all day paw
ing the streets, may be found in the
evening taking : leading part in an
orchestra playing classic music. 1t
is a poor house, indeed, that has not
some sort of a musical instrument.
Cotton goods, nails, steel rails. and
various others articles of commerce
are manufactured in Monterey, but
as yet the consul is quoted as saying,
that nobody has ever made guitar
there, except, perhaps. some lone
genius who manufactured one for his
own use. GuitaSs and mandolins are
almost exclusively imported from the
United States, thong. some come
from France and Spain. Germany is
supposed to be the home of the vio-
lin, TAG nearly all these instruments
used in this part of Mexico, come
from that oo.sssry. though an insig-
nificant number come from the Unit
ed States. In pianos. of which quite
a number are seid there, the United
sta. has the best of the trade, the
balance going 20 Germany. In or
gans the United States is practically
unrivaled In IRIS country, very few
of these instruments in any gra lie
coming from Earope. But there Is
one general class of instruments in
which the Unseed States might do
good business, but as yet does practi-
cally none, ard that is the instru-
ments which go to the furnishing of
a brass band.-Washingto Herald.
