Brooks Lawrence and other visit ing ministers.
 By many it is believed that the coming Of the Rev Brooks Lawrence and other
 prohibition preachers tomorrow is the signal of the opening of another prohibi- tion campaign in this county In the near future, although nothing is being said about an election of the liquor question at this time.
 In the Morgan county law and equity court yesterday, on habeas corpus trial before Judge Thomas W. Vert, Tom Evans and his son, Tom Evans, Jr., who are charged with the murder of Roddy Posey, were admitted to ball in the sum
 of 5000 each which they made.
 l The killing took place a few weeks ago I near Leesdale, in the southern part of the county. In the melee, in which Posey
 was killed, a number of shots were fired
 and the senior Evans was shot through
 one shoulder and in one heel. His wounds
 are still giving him great deal of 1 trouble. It is understood that the two Evans will plead self-defense. The ex- | act nature of the trouble has never been

burning them. This method
can be followed without re-

A set Of bylaws and constitution
were adopted and the board of direc-
tors as above named are to meet as
soon as possible and appoint build

once to secure suitable lot and see

The capital stock of the association,
which will be known as the Han cock
Creamery Co., was set at $4,000
divided into five hundred shares of
$40 each, of which over two hundred
have already been taken as many of
the shareholders took more than one
share of stock. The only danger to
corporation of this kind is lack of CO.

Reward for Runaway.

Appleton Press Thursday, about
fifty people witnessed the heroic deed
of A. J. Kaufman when a young
team left the Interstate and started
for town on the run endangering
themselves and pedestrians bound for
the G. N. depot A. J. dashed out in
front of the team and then dashed
back as they clearly indicated they
had no notion of stopping. With
great presence of mind and speed of
limb he finally captured the tail gate
of the wagon and climbed in barking
his shins nicely in the operation.
Wnen he. returned instead of the
Carnegie medal due him he was offer
ed fifty cents, We guess it hurt his
pride as he calmly handed back 45c
and closed the incident. BY a wit

Comrades Celebrate.

W. L. Colyer had birthday ami
versary last Saturday, and claims that
he attained the age of IS years. Fifty
years ago next year in August,
Mr.. Colyer enlisted in Co. A,
28th Wisconsin Infantry and swore
that he was "aImost 1872, but
as the enlisting officer did not quibble
with him at that time about his age,
we will not do so today. He said he
was to be G6 on that day, and Com
rade Lysander Pushor, of Co. K, 18th
Maine Infantry said he was 70 on
July 9Th, and Comrade Christian
Klein. of Co. A. 10th New York
Cavalry. said he would be 70 on July
10th, so they decided to hold a joint
celebration on the 9Th. and invite in
a few Of the "boys.''
The comrades present as guests
and their respective ages were "A.

What Increase Means.

Commenting upon the increase OF
the railway passenger and freight
rates which went into effect July 1st,
the editor of the Waseca Herald says
"Railroad rates go up tomorrow.
The increase in fare will mean that
every time you ride mile. it will
cost you one-cent stamp extra when
you ride ten miles you will need to
shine four own shoes to make up the
loss; when you travel twenty-five
miles the additional epxense is enough
to pay for haircut; when you go
one hundred miles the one cent extra
would purchase three pounds of but
ter and four dozen eggs. If business
calls you to point five hundred
miles from home, you could have
bought pair of shoes with brown
hose and red necktie thrown in, on
what you might have saved if you
had made the trip before July 1.
And think of it! If a fellow is going
to married and has to go three
thousand miles to get his bride, he
can almost furnish home, pay the
first installment on the piano, put in
the telephone and paint the kitchen
floor with the extra one cent a mile
that Judge Sanborn requires him to
give the railroad companies. -

IMPROVED LIGHTS.
Proposed to Install Ornamental
Street Lights.

There was a lively discussion at the
Improvement Union meeting on Fri
day night Of the proposition to install
ornamental street lights here in Nor
ris.
These ornamental lights are placed
at the edge of the sidewalk and about
four or five of them to the block on
each side of the street. They take
the place of the arc lights at street
intersections, and their installation
also necessitates the removal of the
poles and sidewalk signs. The lights
themselves are a cluster of five lights
on an ornamental post, and so ar
ranged and wired that on ordinary
nights only the top light burns. but
on festal occasions and when it is
desired to illuminate the streets,
all the lights are turned on. The
larger cities have had these lights
for two or three years, and recently
the desire for them is growing in the
smaller cities, and such cities as
Litchfeld, Willmar. Benson and Glen
wood either have installed them or
are planning to do so.
The installation of these ornamental
lights was proposed by C. A. Dushek,
who spoke enthusiastically for them.
AS to the cost, he said that at Glen
wood they cost about $50 per light.
and that the expense was paid one
third by the city and the remainder
by the property owners and tenants.
J B. Ormond also spoke for the
lights and others expressed their ap-
proval. J. R. Kruger stated that he
would prefer to see the money spent
on still more drainage and road work,
and that he thought the lights would
look inappropriate on Atlantic ave-
nue. on account of there still being
number of old frame buildings on
the street. Others expressed them
sevles as Of the opinion that the lights
could be put in without interfering
with the prosecution of the drainage
and road work.
On motion a committee was appoint
ed to investigate as to the cost of the
lights and to ascertain the sentiment
among property holders. The COM
mittee consists Of c. A. Dushek, F.
R. Putnam, N. Vinie, J. J. McCan-
ney and c. A. Lee.
J. H. Devenney brought up the
matter of providing a larger opera
house for the city. and the question
of changing the present armory was
discussed considerably. but no action
taken.
Pres. Jones brought up the matter
of asking the council to submit to
the voters this fall the question of
paying road taxes in cash. on account
of the many advantages of that sys-
TEN, and a committee was appointed
to present the views of the Union
to the council. The committee con-

UNDERGROUND WATER.
u. S. Geological Survey Des'
cribes Minnesota Supply.

The United States Geological Sur
vey has just issued Water-Supply
Paper 256, Geology and Under
ground Waters of Southern Mime
sota," by C. W. Hall, O. E. Meinzer,
and M. L. Fuller. The region de-
scribed in the report includes ap'
proximately the southern two-fifths
of TIE State of Minnesota and has an
area of %, 265 square miles. Aside
from the cities of Minneapolis and
st. Paul, this is essentially an agri-
cultural region.
The purpose Of the investigation,
which was conducted in cooperation
with the Minnesota State Board of
Health, was to determine to the full
est practicable extent the principal
facts in regard 10 the underground
waters-their quantity, heads, min
eral quality, sanitary conditions, and
depths beneath the surface-as we'll
as the best methods of drilling to
them and finishing wells for their uti-
lization, and to consider all other ques-
tions relating to their recovery for
human use.
A question in which nearly all
communities are interested, says the
report, is whether flowing wells can
be obtained by drilling to considerable
depths. Much blind optimism pre-
walls in regard to this subject. Many
towns have at one time or another
borne the loss of expensive drilling
at places where there was no real
prospect of obtaining flows, and 9TH
ers are likely to suffer in the same
way unless they are properly inform
ed. 1t is by no means necessary that
every vilalge or city should drill
deep we'll in order to learn whether
flows can be obtained. Even where
there are no prospects for flowing
wells. the question Of head is I'M
portant. If the water rises higher
from the deeper than from the shall
lower beds, it is important that the
community should know it. The
information obtained as the result of
the investigation gives ample data
for determining definitely for most
communities whether or not there is
any prospect of obtaining flowing
wells. These data are given in the
report for each county separately,
so that the we'll driller may deter
mine with some degree of accuracy
to what depth he must go to obtain
water,

Domestic Water Supply Con

The investigation developed the
fact that the domestic water supply

is stated, should aim to- procure an

of water works with mains reaching

PITY THE POOR.
All Moneys and Credits in
County only $1O2,165.

The attempt to tax "money and
Credits has always been a failure
because so many people refused tc
return this item to the assessor and
excused themselves because the tax
took so large part of the income.
Only the "easy marks and most con-
scientious have been "caught'. The
tax mmission therefore prevailed
upon the last legislature to pass a
law placing a nominal rate of So. 90
on 81, 900 on this form of property
with the hope that all or most all
would be honest enough to list it.
"Money and Credits includes credit S
of any nature except real estate NOR
cages on which the registration tax
has been paid.
But the law is failure so far as
Stevens county is concerned. The
total amount of money and credits
found in this county amounts to only
$1O2. 165, and will yield a revenue
of $50 6.48, while under the old sys-
tenn about $4,000 of this form of
property was listed and paid tax
of over $500.
The amount returned is only frac-
tion of he wealth of this kind in the
county. The deposits in any one of
the prosperous banks of the county
exceeds $1O2, 165, (tho this does not
mean that the banks should pay d
higher tax. because they are taxed
very heavily, but that is another
story).
Here are the returns by districts.
The village of Hancock acknowledges
that it owns one-third of the wealth
of the county, and is entitled congrat-
nj 1ations for admittiner il
