Echo: Milroy will be favored
with another Farmers Institute on
June the 9th and we hope that the
attendance will be large enough to
get future sessions at this place. 1t
is through Mr.. Duncan's efforts that
we are to have one on the above
named date.
Springfield Advance: The two
carloads of stock recently shipped to
the twin city markets brought the
owner, Frank j. Sheffield handsome
returns. in fact the price paid him
was top-notch. One car brought
the handsome price of z cents a
pound, while the other, mixed car,
brought from Al to 81 cents In the
lot was a bull in prime condition
which brought him $109.80.
Winnebago Enterprise: The prac-
tice of raiding melon patches. so
dear to boyhood. can no longer be
looked upon as joke and the in
jured party has a more powerful
wepon than shotgun at his disposal.
Any one convicted of raiding a mel
on patch or orchard is liable to be
punished by Imprisonment in the
county Jail for not more than six
months; or by a fine of not more
than $3.50, or BOTH" The words in
quotation are copied from the law.
While considering the question of
population, it was our lot to read a
letter from young man whose home
was in LIE Sueur until short time
ago and in it was found these apt
words. 'The town must wake up to
a factory proposition. 1t loses all
the young men. Of the nine who
made up the second team in base ball
of LIE Sueur in 1909, only two are still
residents of the town." And it is a
fact. Just count if you will the
number gone elsewhere in year.
LIE Sueur News
| st. Peter Tribune: Word was re-
ceived in this city Thursday that
Chas. Rydeen Of Lake Praire was
found dead in his barn, having hung
himself to one of the rafters. Coro-
ner Merritt and County Attorney
4 Olsen went out there on Thursday
evening and decided that it was a
clear case of suicide, consequently
no inquest was necessary. Friends
of the deceased are at a loss for the
motive of the act, as he was consid-
cred to be in fairly good circum-
stances, and doing well.
! Window Citizen: DIR. DeCoster
went to Marshall again Saturday,
and that evening performed an op-
Grafton upon Rev. Cook, removing a
portion of rib and taking a large
amount Of matter from the lung
cavity. The operation seems to have
been beneficial, as the patients tenn
perature has since dropped to nor
NAL, and respiration has been re-
duced, but the gentleman is still in
a much weakened condition and it
will be some time before he is able
to be about.
Residents of the north end have in
the past been greatly puzzled by a
tree on the old Randall place, now
owned by Lewis Roberts, reports the
st. Peter Tribune. None could
name the tree or decide to what
family it belonged. Col. T. G, Car
ter became interested and recently
sent specimen to an eminent
botonist who replies that the tree is
known as the Buckthorn. This is a
European tree, probably from the
British Isles, and was either brought
to this country by some resident or
raised from seed.
/ Wheaton's local independent tele-
phone company recently declared a
ten per cent. dividend, and the
Gazette states that the showing
is accompanied by a demonstration
that the people are getting a better
service at the old rates than the
Minnesota Central was proposing
to get them at an advance. Mot
withstanding the old company still
