immune have had it now and fortunate
ly so far with no serious consequences.
The schools have suffered severely and it
will be very difficult to bring the grades
up to the required mark by the time
school closes in June.
Word was received in Minneapolis
this week of the death of Rev. Alexan-
der McGregor, in Whittier, Cal. DR..
McGregor died Sunday morning after
an illness of six weeks. Before going
west he had held pastorates in Grand
Forks, N. D., and in Minneapolis, hav-
ing been pastor of the Park Avenue
Congregational church Minneapolis
for 10 years.
Mr.. Hancock who has returned from
the coast, stated that our old townsman
and the greatest Spectator that ever
lived here, Hon. Mr.. Booker, had one of
the finest residences there, and on his
lawn was growing Washington fir, and
at its foot was geranium which ran up
an immense height, and all the way up
the blossoms showed thru the foliage of
the fir tree.-New Era.
Messrs Fred Weiss and Greenwood
of Crystal were in the city last week
looking after the foreclosure proceed
ings of the Crystal Park and Fair
Grounds. The proceedings were in the
nature of clearing up title for the pur-
pose of selling the property and giving
title. Both of the gentlemen had a
look at the court house to Judge of the
probability of Its falling down in the
near future but we have not heard of
their decision.
1t will be noted that our ''Political
column is filling up.
Messrs. Gill and F. H. Anderson are the
latest. Well, we don't blame the boys;
it looks as if no one else wanted the Jobs
they occupy at present and as they know
the business and are willing to sacrifice
themselves for the public good, they are
perfectly right in mentioning the fact
to the dear people. AS we said about
the previous candidates, these have also
filled their offices with ability and with
to the patrons of the offices
and if reelected we would be sure of
good and tried men.
Last week, Mrs. Howell of toilette
went to visit her neighbor about two
miles from home. She took littlh
baby girl about year old with her,
and while she was hitching the horse
the baby which had been left alone in
the buggy fell over the front of the
buggy and behind the horse, which
stepped backward and placed one foot
on the child's face, tearing the flesh
of the cheek in some places bare from
the bone. Mrs. Howell hurried back
home, and in the meantime, Mr.. Howell
who had been notified by phone, had
another team ready and brought the
child with all possible speed to DR.. Har-
rls here who after placing more than a
dozen stitches in the wounds thinks that
she will come around all right. Mrs.
Howell and the baby are staying in town
with Mrs. Moore this week.
1t is likely that the horse thief, Sam
Winters, who is in Jail here will be de-
ported to Denmark, as Immigration In
spector Ihue has established his his
tory sufficiently to show that he is ell
ligible for deportation: but if he should
be kept here until after July then the
three years limit would be up and the
man could remain here. Last week
Inspector Thue found fellow who had
walked across the line from Emerson
whose first act on entering this free
country was to help himself to the con-
tents of a mail box on the road in
Minnesota. He found $50 postal or
der and attempted to cash it at the
local office, but as his answers to ques-
tons as to identity were not satisfactory
to the postmaster, an investigation
showed that he had stolen the order.
In this case the thief can be sent to the
states prison for about two years and
then at the expiration of his sentence
still be in time for deportation, which is
likely to be his fate.
