viii Be the Largest Vessel in Uncle
Sans Navy.

New York, March 9.-Ceremonies
almost equal to those of launching
marked the laying of the keel of the
new battleship Florida at the Brook
lyn hayward today. The occasion
was marked by the presence of a
large number of invited guests from
Washington, New York and Brooklyn.
Today's date is memorable one in
the history of the navy. On. March 8.
1852, the Monitor, which was con-
structed in Brooklyn, fought the Mer'
rimac in Hampton Roads.
The Florida and her sister ship, the
Utah, will be the two most powerful
vessels of the United States navy and
will be equal to any afioat.

SCHRlfBfR ACQUITTED.
Justice Gerritz Holds That
q Sandwich Is .
Refreshmo ont

Joseph Schneider, who last week
was found guilty in Justice Randall &
court of selling wares. goods and
merchandise without q license, the
same being sandwiches and the like,
did not pay the fine imposed, and as
q Jail sentence was not given as an
alternative he got away free.
Tuesday young Schreiber was again
arrested on a similar charge as before,
Chief Cannon, complaining. This
time he was hailed before Justice
Gerrltz's court, the trial taking place
Wednesday. The case was argued
yesterday morning, and in the after.
noon Justice Gerrltz gave his decision,
holding that sandwiches were refresh
ments and: that therefore defendant
had not violated any ordinance or law
IN selling them without license. as
refreshments and tarm products are
excepted in the ordinance.
The difference in the opinion of the
two judges, after q little reflection,
can readily be seen, as a sandwich for
Justice Gerrltz, who is quite stout,
would satisfy HIM only as refresh
ment, whereas the same sandwich for
Justice Randall, who IS quite delicate,
would suffice for tun meal.

FINE
/. MARKET AND TRADING
- CENTER. u

" y New that harvest is setting IN and
'threshing time Is but short distance
ahead, farmers Will be pleased to hear
that their grain will find very good
market IN this city this year. The
local mlllers have decided to offer top
notch prices for wheat, and will do all
in their power to make this the center
Of the grain trade.
Another inducement, besides rece1v-
ing best prices for their wheat and
other small gram, is that the stores of
this city have a larger and better
assortment of goods for the farmer to
select from at suitable prices than
most other towns in this part of the
state the size of Little Falls or larger.
His money therefore goes farther IN
this city, and he will get more for
his wheat than in smaller towns
around here, thus making 1T well
worth his while to bring it to the
trading center, Little Falls.

DEMOCRAT SfLLSPLANT
Herald is Purchaser and
will Consolidate It With
Its Plant

On Wednesday Manager p. j. Vasaly
OF the Herald Printing company closed
q deal with John L. Hobllt ana Owen
Konchal, pr0prietors of the Morrison
County Democrat, whereby the Herald
Printing company becomes the owner
OF the latters plant, and will take
tull possession of the presses, type,
Office furniture and fixtures tomorrow,
and will consolidate the plant with
Its own.
The Morrison County Democrat was
founded IN this city twenty. three years
ago by Cyrus D. Auyer, who edited
the paper and was sole owner of the
plant until the fall of 1902, when
John I. Hobllt purchased an interest
in the plant. A year ago last spring
Owen Konchal purchased the interests
of Editor Auyer, since which time
Messrs. Hoblit and Konchal have I'M
proved the paper and made very
c1editale sheet OF it.
The remuneration from the publish
ing of third paper IN this city was
not large enough to satisfy its pro-
prietors, who belived that the same
amount OF labor exerted In other fields
would bring them larger returns, and
following the example of q large
number of papers throughout the
state, negotiations were commenced q
short time ago tending to consolida.
tlon OF the two papers.
The Morrison County Democrat has
made Its final bow to the public and
will be discontinued at once, Its
subscription list being taken over by
this paper.
Some of the unnecessary machinery
and equipment will be disposed OF.
With this addition to our excellent
plant, the Herald has one of the best
equipped country shops In the state,
and will be able to give its many
patrons better services In all lines OF
printing.
