are not making hit as the treasury
officers had hoped. Artists have al
ways declared that penny superior
in.design to the Indian penny could
not be turned out and it is claimed
that the Lincoln penny is a demon
stration of that statement. The
new pennies are subjected to criti-
cism by others than artists. It was
first discovered at the treasury that
they did not stack up as we'll as the
Indian coins. The most serious OBJ
lection to them, however, is that
they are thicker than the old coins.
Institutions which use coin machines
have already begun complaining
that the new pennies do not fit the
machines.
Renville Star Farmer: We note
that some of our neighboring ex-
changes are making a great ado
about a number of our city council
being placed on the prohibited list
at the saloons. Of course some
papers think it smart and wise to
circulate matter derogatory of their
neighboring city without looking in
to all the facts in the case, but there
is nothing to it but reprisal. The
new council set out in the spring to
place certain people on the pro-
hibited list, and they in turn at
tempted to do the same thing, SIM
ply an act of reprisal. and could not
possibly hold, only long enough to
get into the papers as reproach to
the city. As long as the matter was
a local affair we proposed to pass it
up but will not stand for such ad-
vertising abroad. The members of
the council referred to are all old
residents and business men, and able
to defend themselves, and need no
defense from US.
Inter-Lake Tribune: The night
Waterman over at Sisseton is re-
ported as having had narrowing
experience and hair-breadth escape
one night last week. While stand
ing in a dark and lonely spot, all
alone at the witching hour CT mid
night, or Whereabouts, shot was
fired, and the bullet passed through
the officers breast-pocket of his
coat. The night was one of inky
blackness, and the one who fired the
shot could not be seen, yet he must
have been very close, as the powder
burned coat would seem to indicate.
A hurry call was sent in to head
quarters and the entire constabulary
of the county was soon securing the
suburbs for the would-be assassin,
but to no avail One of the search
ers remarked in a petulant voice
that it was too bad that the man
shot did not have a looking-gIass
with him that dark night, as he
might have been able to have seen
who did the shooting. And thus
, another deep mystery is still un.
, raveled.
Willmar Republican: Mendie Kon-
sterile. the 16-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. P. Konsterlie, who
: live on their farm about two miles
, north of Willmar, was thrown from
the top of load of hay about five
o'clock last Tuesday afternoon, re-
ceiying injuries which caused her
death about fifteen minutes later.
, She was helping her father load the
hay onto the rack and was standing
, on the top of the load holding the
, reins, some distance from the
ground. The horses started sud-
denly and she lost her balance and
was thrown to the ground in front
of the wagon and between the horse.
, A doctor was summoned from Will
mar Immediately but she died about
fifteen minutes after the fall. Nc
marks or bruises of any kind were
discovered showing that death was
not caused by a kick from the
horses. 1t is believed that a blood
vessel must have been ruptured
causing the death. She was the
only child.
