pany has instructed it's agent here to
accept all exhibits which farmers de-
sire to send to the National Corn Ex-
position in Omaha, and send them to
St. Paul free of charge on regular
baggage cars.
For some time the Great Northern

rat proof storage house in st. Paul

special baggage cars and take them
to Omaha. President L. w. Hill will
have personal charge of large part
of the work, and every exhibitor is
assured that his exhibit will be placed
to the best advantage in Omaha.
From all along the lines of the
road, the-exhibits have been going to
st. Paul and as the exposition does
not open until December 6, there is
still time for every farmer to get an
exhibit of grain if he so desires, but
they should reach st. Paul by Novem
Der 20. Mr.. J. j. Hill offers person
ally s., $500 in cash prizes for the best
grains and grasses, while the National
Corn Exposition has a premium list

Life of Governor johnson.

Frank A. Day, private secretary OF
the late Governor johnson, has under
taken to write and publish bio
graphy of the lamented Governor.
He does this at the request of Mrs.
Johnson, and as the most intimate
friend, perhaps, that the late Cover
nor had, he is undoubtedly peculiarly
qualified for the task There are
thousands of friends of the late gov
ernor who would like to have some
permanent record and memorial of his
life and works. It would seem as if
there should be great demand for
such a biography as Mr.. Day proposes
to issue. The book will be about four
hundred pages and will be well bound
and geographically. perfect. The
book will be profusely and handsome
ly illustrated, and will be in every
respect a publication worthy of a
place in every Minnesota home.
Governors Johnson's life was an in
spiration to every ambitious boy and
girl, and record of that life on the
library table will be a valuable con-
tribution to the education of the child
rem. We understand that Mr.. Day
will distribute the book through the
medium of agents to be appointed IN
every county of the state.

Messenger Boy" at the opera house
last night. The plot of the play is a
realistic presentation of life from the
outside world, that appeals SO forci-
bly, to our natures. The kidnapping of
two children, with their final rescue,
with tale of devoted and trusting
love that had it origin in the outcast
life of the street waits at Pier 46 in the

final reward of the kidnapped boot
black who possesses noble traits of
honor and integrity, make a drama
that fascinates whiles it pleases. The
scene at the great Brooklyn bridge,
with night on the east river with its
lights and piers is worth the price of
admission alone. Col. Worry, the
egotistical irrascible but warm heart
ed old man who never forgets his war
record, is a whole circus with the
clowns thrown in. The cunning vii
liam and his female accomplice make
you shudder at the realistic presenta-
tion of all that is villainous and mean.

Winter appears to have come for an
extended stay. The nice weather OF
last week came to an end on Friday
when cloudy weather set in followed
by rain and snow, and mantle of
several inches of snow now covers
the landscape. The sleighing is very
good, as the roads were smooth be-
fore the rain came and freezing wea-
ther followed before the roads were
cut up. All farm work is in good
shape for the winter, as the fall has
been favorable one. Threshing was
all done weeks ago, and since then
most farmers have had plenty of time
to finish their fall blowing and other
fall work done.

to getaa good local paper. The man

press has no right to the farmers
trade. ] promise hereafter to go to
the live advertiser and the man who
does his share in supporting the local

that appeared to have a nub or two Of

"Soon after we got in Durango, Col,
that time-it was my second dreary one

men in Durango-brothers-in-
real mussy in their intentions toward
each other and that maybe there'd be
a killing pretty soon." said the ex-Thesp.
Getting right down to onions, the
manager of the town. hall where we were
to play told us of the troupe, 1T isn't
plumb healthy, in a way of speaking
just now, down yonder, in or around Nat

most pretentious gin mill in Durango, sit

street line. Something's liable to be
pulled off in Mats place almost any old

and Bill has sent word to Nat that he
sure is going to get him. Now, Nat

He's tending bar all by himself and just
waiting. Now. killing isn't any gam

around here sort o reckon that when

his life

just as Nat Farron's spoke again with
the usual loud bang.
by this time the man who had come
to kill had backed to point close to the
door. He was swaying badly, too, by
this time, but he was determined to try
to shoot it out-indeed. there was moth
ing else for him to do. He could only
take the chance, in that bad situation,
that maybe he might be able to get a
shot out of his gun if he stuck at it.
But the white-aproned man put two
more shots into his brother-in-law, the
other man swapping at the same time.
and each time the queer tinkle and the
lack of a flash from his gun showed
that he wasn't getting any results out of
it. When the fifth shot had entered his
body the man who'd come there to do the
killing teetered forward. the gun falling
out of his hand, and as he was in the
very act of falling fiat on his face he let
out this choked cry OF bitter anguish:
-" And by HI. 1 never got a shot at
him..
In less than half minute he was
dead All five of his brother-n- laws
shots had hit him, and all in bad spots.
