Scrap Iron Men Scrapping.

Morgan Messenger.
A little excitement was caused on
our streets Monday afternoon over
a deal which involved Jerry Sher-
wood, owner of several of the dredge
boats at work in this county, and
Phillip Shelestuk, Russian, who
has been gathering up scrap iron in
these parts the past two weeks. 1t
appears that Shelestuk purchased all
of the old iron at Gilfillan Siding,
owned by Bingham Bros. of New
Ulm, that was in their elevator
which was burned to the ground this
spring. In gathering up this iron
it is claimed that he also mutilated
and loaded upon his wagon a dyna-
mo and the iron parts of boom
which are used on dredge boats.
The boom and dynamo were left at
the Siding with the intentions of
shipping to Litchfeld, and were
owned by Mr. Sherwood. Shelestuk
had hauled the iron to town, which
he claims he purchased, and Mon
day afternoon, Roy Sherwood, on
behalf of his father, secured writ
of attachment on the iron which
Shelestuk and his three companions
were about to load in a car and ship
to the Owatonna Scrap Iron Com
pany whom they purchased the iron
for. Sherwood is sueing Shelestuk
and Owatonna Scrap Iron Co. to re-
cover S145 damages. The date set
for the case, to be tried in municipal
court at Redwood Falls, is June 8th.
Tuesday Onufry Bialys, proprietor
of the Owatonna Scrap Iron Co.,
appeared at Morgan to investigate
the case. In an interview with Mr..
Bialys he stated to The Messenger
that his employee, Shelestuk, had
purchased every pound of iron he
hauled away from Gilfllan Siding
and did not take any more than was
sold to him. From what informa-
ton we could gather it is quite GER
tain that the Owatonna Scrap Iron
Co. and their representative, Sheles-
TUX, will stand suit. The develop
ments of the case will be watched
with interest.

The'great state of Illinois has not
greatly honored herself by the re-
cent election of Congressman Lori
mer to be U. S. senator. The more
one considers the character of the
Stevensons, the Guggenheimers, the
Platts, Depews and Lorimers who
have represented great states in the
u. S. senate, the more reason there
is to ponder whether elections on the
present plan are not conspicuous
failure. The last instance, that of
Lorimer, is generally conceded to
be the election of representative
of the worst phases of the politics
of corrupt Chicago, with the prin-
ciples of Matt Quay and the back
ing Of the most corrupt interests Of
that corrupt city.

BUSINESS FOR HENS.
Minnesota State Fair Figuring on an
Egg-Laying Contest.

1t the plans now under considera-
ton by the board of managers of the
Minnesota state fair are carried out.
one of the big features of the coming
Minnesota state fair, September Gil
will be an egg-laying contest, open
to all hens in the state of Minnesota
and conducted under the supervi-
sion OF Leslie Parlin, who has charge
OF the poultry department of the
Minnesota state fair, and some rep
resentatives of the Minnesota State
Agricultural College.
AS now formulated, the plan con-
templates the giving of cash prizes
to the three hens having the best
laying record for week before and
the week of the state fair, the con-
testing hens to be shipped to the
Poultry building three weeks before
the fair and to be thereafter in
charge of some expert from the
State Agricultural College. The
owners of the contesting hens can
name the kind of food and the con-
ditions under which their hens may
be fed. Trap nests will be used so
that there will be no question as to
the count. The three prizes will of
course, go to the three hens laying
the most eggs during the week be-
fore and the week Of the state fair
up to the closing of the contest at
three o'clock Friday afternoon, Sep
TENDER 10.

ct is often said that the door of
opportunity in this country is being
closed to the children of the poor, "
observes the editor of the Duluth
News-Tribune, discussing an allow
ance asked in a divorce settlement
for scion Of the Bradley Martin
set, "but the case of the juvenile
Martin shows how it is slammed and
locked in the faces of the children
of the rich. 1t is easier for a rhin-
oceros to dodge Roosevelt bullet
than for a child with $4,000 month
of spending money to avoid ruina-
alton here and damnation hereafter"

Congressman Tawney is finding
no sympathizers since he was igno-
miniously turned down on the libel
suit he instituted against the Albert
Lea Tribune, which copied from an
other paper certain criticism Of
Tawney's official actions. Public
men occasionally suffer unjust criti-
cism, but rarely help themselves
when they seek vindication in the
courts. In the long run they will
get their due if they are faithful to
their trusts, and if they don't like
criticism of their public acts, they
always have the remedy of retiring
from office.

1t is wonder that the super. SEN

are not going up in the air about the
pork barrel" appropriation by the
last legislature for the schools. State
Superintendent Schulz estimates
that the total sums which will be
paid out annually for schools in 1909
and 1910 will be $500, 900, the last
legislature having provided for in
creases to the amount of $3.50, 900 a
year. The increases are as follows:
High schools, $500 to S17OO; graded
schools, $3.50 to $500; semi-graded,
$3.50 to $500; frst-class rural schools
$125 to $3.50; second-class rural
schools, $50 to $500. In addition,
graded schools which give two years
of high school work will get $500 ex-
ira aid, or $1,000 in all.

Attorney General Simpson in re-
Spouse to a question by the state tax
commission has rendered an opinion
that receiving elevators at the mills
will not be obliged to pay the So
called bushel tax Of one-fourth mill
on wheat and flax, and one-eighth
mill on other grains handled by
them. The law was passed by the
last legislature and the tax commits
sion wanted to know who paid the
tax when the grain went through a
local elevator, a terminal elevator,
an elevator at mill and finally in
the form of flour through the ware
houses. The attorney general an
swers that the local and terminal
elevators will both have to pay the
tax, even if the result is that some
grain is taxed two or more times.
He holds that mill receiving elevat-
ors will not have to pay any tax, un-
less the grain has not already gone
through some elevator, in which case
it is taxed at the mill on an ad valor-
EN- basis as usual.

In March, 1883. Father Seward,
with his wife, came to Ventura,
where the aged couple have since re-
sided. He had retired from active
business. of course, before coming
here. A long life in honor and in
tegrity had served to amass enough
to keep him and his wife very COM
fortably in their age. But, although
Father Seward had retired. he still
took keen interest in all public
matters, and was relied upon as an
active force in all movements for
good in this community, where he
was loved by all who came within
the circle Of his kindly influence
and that, in effect, was every man,
woman and child in Ventura.

were born six children, of whom four
survive. These are Guilford Dudley

Wounds Received In the Civil War
Are Bothering Him Is Unable
to Turn in Bed Without Assistance.

A private letter from Washington
conveys the information that Col.
C. A. Lounsberry, of the general land
Office clerical force, is quite seriously
i'll and unable to turn in bed without
assistance. The trouble has been
diagnosed by the physicians as a
nerve difficulty resulting from two
old gunshot wounds received by Col.
Lounsberry while serving in the civil
war. According to the reports that
have been received, the wounds have
become again very painful, and Col
Lounsberry says his suffering is as
acute as when the wounds were first
inflicted.
This news will be regretted by
many of the old time friends of Col.
Lounsberry in this state, of which
he was the pioneer newspaperman,
having established the Tribune in
1873, and having been afterward pub
Usher of the Argus at Fargo and
of the North Dakota Record, a
monthly magazine. For number of
years past Col. Lounsberry has been
a special agent of the general land
Office, and has done hard and faith
full work. His friends in the state
hope he may soon recover from the
trouble from which he is at present
suffering.
