thing that led to the upbuilding of the
city and country. He was born at
Columbus, Me-, Feb. "a, 1920.
The first office held by Mr. Wilson,
was that of representative in the ter
ritorial legislature, to which he was
elected for the terms of 1856, 1856 and
1857. He was again reelected repre-
sentative to the state legislature in the
year 1870. He was the first president
of the city council in this city. This
city was named by Wilson, when it was
plated in the year 1853. He built the
first frame house in this city and Sank
Rapids.
Mr.. Wilson was married to Miss
Cordelia Morgan, daughter of Joshua
Morgan, founder of the city of Buffalo,

Women Nurses at st. Peter.
An interesting experiment is being
tried at the St. Peter state hospital

success. That is, the employment of

care of insane male prisoners. Here

used by the next executive as the
basis of recommendations to the leg
1slature, if he so chooses. In view
of the coming election of officers of
the state fair board, it will attract
more than usual attention. The pub
lie examiner expressly states that
all accounts are correct, but he dwells
with special emphasis on the mat
ter of expense occaunts, so much so
that it is clear that he intends the ex-
penditures do not appeal to him as
entirely proper, although he expressly
refrains from saying so.
Refers to Especial Work."
Relative to the special work. for
which John J. Furlong was paid $3.50,
it is understood that it's character was
fr presenting the needs of the state
fair to the legislature. The employ.
ment commenced January 10, and
ceased after the adjournment of the
law makers.
Mr.. Schaefer also dwells upon the
fact that Mr.. Furlong took Earle C.
May with him to Seattle, at an ex.
pense of $210.55. He also calls at.
tention to the fact that the trip was
not authorized until after the return
Of Mr.. Furlong and of Mr.. May.
Schaefer Makes Recommendations.
He advises that the legislature
should fix salaries, and either elm
mate or provide for the expense OF
the board of managers, abolish passes
or establish limitations, regulate Wis.
its to other fairs, provide contingent
fund which should not be exceeded
under penalty, provide for the han
ding of the receipts and disburse
mcnts by the state auditor and treas
urer, and that sub-vouchers should be
required for all expenditures of over
one dollar.

MRS. LEDBETER ACQUITTED.
Only Three Ballots Taken and Verdict
Rendered In One Hour.

Mankato. - Mrs. Grace Ledbeter,
who has for nearly three weeks
been on trial on charge OF being impli-
Gated in the murder of her husband,
walked out of the courtroom a free

in. Its verdict was mot guilty."
Judge Pau thanked it for it's patience
and diligence, and discharged it.
When the verdict was announced
Mrs. Ledbeter's head dropped and she
covered her face with her hands, but
as the jurors filed out of the box she
arose and advanced and silently shook
each by the hand. Some wished her
Happy Nev Year" and others just
pressed her hand feelingly. Later, the
Jurors gathered about her and spent
few moments in conversation. Her
relatives also congratulated her.

Even, who is here, and the Great
Northern road, are engaged in un~
earthing what is described as WIDE

It is claimed that thousands of dol
lars have been taken from Greek Ia.
borers by representatives of the rail-
road who have worked in collision

leaders of ability to interpret.
1t is also claimed that the large
sums were withheld from the railroad
by the use of passes for laborers, who
were charged with railroad fare.
The defrauding of the laborers is
not a criminal offense in Minnesota,
but civil action to recover moneys
may follow.

This Office is occupied by Christie

situations for insane, have only BEEN
permitted in the womens wards. 1t is
claimed, however, that nursing and
gentleness is more the natural element
and characteristic of woman than
man, and that the difference is more
than appreciated by the insane.
The writer has report of one in
stance said to be typical. A violently
insane man was brought to the ST.
Peter institution in charge of three
men, who had been compelled to
handcuff him, and strap his legs.
When the patient was brought in the
institution, the order was at once CIV
en- to, release the patient from his
bonds. The three men who brought
him gave warning of danger as soon
| as the patient secured use of his arms
| and legs. The order was carried out,
| however, and young women nurse
was called to take the patient in
charge. Taking him lightly by the

asked the patient to come with her.
Without any hesitation, the man did
so, making no attempt to resist or in
jure his frail keeper.

| Good Grain for Seeding.
! The public generally is appreciative'
of the fact that Minnesota possesses
a state agricultural college at which
various experiments are constantly be-
and crops with view to increasing
and lettering the yields of all grains
and agricultural products grown with
in the state. Yet few seem aware
that the results of years of study and
experimenting at the agricultural
school are to be had by any citizen
for the asking, and that grain seed
of the highest quality, which will yield
larger and better crops, may be pur-
chased from the state by one and all
interested enough to do so.
True, this seed is sold in very limit
ed quantities, because the supply Of
this product of years of work and ex-
perimenting is very limited. But
those who buy seed from the state
school to test its qualities above aver
age seed grain, may secure from the
same source names and addresses Of
farmers in their part of the state who
have previously tested this special
seed and who have large quantities on
hand for sale to farmers desiring it
for seed purposes at slightly above
market price.
