BIG HORSE SALE.
To Be Held in Morris October
4th to 9th.

George A. Proctor, a horse deal
er, was in the city this week con-
ferring with the officers of the I'M
provement Union relative to putting
on an auction sale of standard bred
Kentucky horses here this fall.
This promises to be the biggest sale
of horses ever held in this section of
Minnesota, and it is planned to be the
kind of sale that will draw buyers
for hundreds of miles.
Mr.. Proctor will go to Kentucky
and obtain 200 or more standard bred
fillies, and will bring them here to be
sold at auction on October 4th to 9Th
inclusive. 1t is not expected that
these horses will all sell in Stevens
county, but many will be bought here,
and Morris will receive much adver-
tising out of the sale.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
An Expert In Statistics.

Director of the Census S. D. N.
North, who is preparing for the thir-
teenth decennial enumeration Of the
subjects Of Uncle Sam, has had nearly
thirty years experience in that line.
On leaving college Mr.. North entered
the newspaper business, in which he
won success both as owner and editor.
In 1880 Mr.. North was selected to
prepare the newspaper statistics for
the tenth census and five years later
completed arrangements for the tax,
ing of the New York state census.
General Porter, superintendent of the
eleventh census, asked Mr.. North to
make a special report on wool and
woolen manufactures. 1t greatly en-
hanced his reputation, and In 1899
Director Merriam insisted that he
should accept the position of chief
statistician in charge of the division
Of manufactures of the twelfth census.

Clean-Up Day.

The ladies of the Civic League made
record last Saturday, and Morris is
certainly cleaner than it ever was be-
fore. The cleaning up work was done
systematically, and what refuse could
not be raked into piles and burned
was hauled away to the dump ground,
about thirty loads of tin cans and
such being taken.
Some little cleaning remains to be
done, but there is scarcely property
owner in town who has not now de-
termined to clean up.

Feeding Rye to Pigs.

will say that rye is safe and suit
able feed for pigs, with some excep
tions, writes Michigan hog grower in
American Agriculturist. In my own
practice / have fed rye to growing pigs
and fattening hogs with very good re.
suits. l always grind it finely and
mix with other feeds. The rye mixed
with cornmeal and bran, equal parts,
makes an excellent grain feed to mix
in with the swill for the growing pigs.
1t seems to be relished by them, as
they will clean the trough as well as
when wheat middlings are used in
same proportions.
l never feed rye meal to pregnant
sows and would not advise any one to
venture to try it with them Rye meal
for growing pigs is not quite as valua-
BILE as wheat middlings, but for fatten-
ing purposes it is worth little more.

About Piows.

Disk plows have in recent years
come into use, writes c. w. Burkett in
American Agriculturist. l like them
for the light types of soil when free
from stones, gravel and roots and
rather abundantly supplied with vege-
table matter. In sticky soils where
the moldboard plow will not scour the
disk is popular In soils where the
moldboard type works well there is
little to gain by using the disk. The
draft of the latter is often greater and
the plow itself is clumsy. The disk is
better for very dry land and often is
the only means for plowing such.

Poultry Notes.

Pumpkin or squash seeds are apt to
kill ducks.
Have roomy coops for the chickens
SO that they will have chance to ex-
ercise If compelled to stay indoors
during stormy weather.
Guineas do not scratch like other
fowls and therefore are safe to have
in the garden. They should be given
their freedom, as they do not thrive in
confinement.
One of the best feeds for breeding
turkeys is oats and should make at
least one-half of the supplied ration,
especially during the next three
months.
The early hatched cockerels will sell
in July and August at good profit,
and the pullets will supplant the in
ferior old hens. With good care the
pullets will begin laying as soon as
matured.-F Farm Journal

STORRS IN HANDOUTS.
But He Made a Hit in Lincoln,
Neb., Society.

Wednesdays Minneapolis journal
contained the following
"Lincoln, Neb., May 26.-Joseph 81.
Mccarthy, now being brought from
Seattle to Lincoln in handouts, and
whose real name appears to be Joseph
FL. Storrs, cut striking figure in Lin
coin society the last year. Handsome,
well dressed, with an attractive south
ern drawl and a plausible tale of blue
blooded Kentucky ancestry, the young
lawyer, as he was supposed to be,
wormed his way into many of the
more exclusive circles of the town.
He was found of feminine society-it
was that fact, indeed, which led to his
arrest in Seattle.
"McCarthy was appointed admins
traitor of the Helen Horn estate
through pretending to be a devout
Catholic. E. @. Strobe, with whom
Mccarthy worked in law Office, OBJ
jected to his appointment, but Mrs.
Horns sisters, who were completely
won over by the young man, insisted
that Mccarthy should be the admin
istrator, and their choice prevailed.
"Letters to various girls in Lincoln
paved the to way McCarthy's capture.
Detective Malone succeeded in max
ing the girls surrender the letters to
him, and from the clues which they
gave he was able to keep Detective
Morse on the trail. When Mccarthy
left Lincoln, ostensibly for Chicago,
he took money said to be from the
Horn estate. The two went first to
Grand Forks, N. D., where the mans
sister lives. He left the bulk of the
money, his diamonds and good clothes
with her, giving her instructions to
send him the money in small install
ments as he should ask for it. He
left Grand Forks alone, at night, clad
in overalls, an old coat and cap.
ga reckoning up of bills paid to
Lincoln merchants and hotel keepers
shows that Mccarthy, or Storrs, spent
about $4,000 in Lincoln in the last six
months. He was dismissed from the
Strobe law office about February. The
six weeks after that were one wild
orgy devoted to theaters, eating,
drinking, and the lavish entertain
ment of chorus girls"
The Storrs mentioned in the fore
going dispatch is supposed to be and
probably is the same Joseph Stores
who was formerly a resident of this
county and of this city. He started
on his criminal career in this city,
and since he left here reports have
been received from time to time of
further exploits of his. About eight
years ago, he came to Morris from
farm in Eldorado, and entered the
law Office of L. @ Spooner to study
law. After remaining here two or
three years, he became involved in a
forgery for which he escaped punish
ment by settling the case with the as
sistance of relatives, and getting pos
session of the evidence against him.
Later he went to North Dakota and
northern Minnesota, and report has
it that he is wanted in Roseau county
for forgery committed there. His
have been unknown for
some time, but now that he is dis
covered, he may have to meet not
only the Lincoln prosecution, but sew
eral others.
