the very notes he was after. 1t was a
bit of luck for him."
Then why" put in Hotchkiss doubt
fully, why did he collapse when he
heard of the wreck? And what about
the telephone message the station
agent sent? You remember they tried
to countermand it, and with some ex-
element"
I'VE will ask him those questions
when we get him. Mcknight said. We
were on the unrailed front porch by
that time, and Hotchkiss had put away
his notebook. The mother of the
twins followed us to the steps.
Dear me-" she explained volubly,
''and to think was forgetting to tell
you! put the young man to bed
with spice poultice on his ankle;
my mother always was firm believer
in spice poultices. It's wonderful
what they will do in Group! And then
took the children and went down to
see the wreck. 1t was Sunday, and
the mister had gone to church; hasn't

nine years ago. And on the way l met
two people, man and a woman.
They looked half dead, so | sent them
right here for breakfast and some
soap and water. always say soap is
better than liquor after shock"
Hotchkiss was listening absently;
Mcknight was whistling under his
breath, staring down across the field
to where break in the woods showed
half dozen telegraph poles, the line
of the railroad

was locked on the outside!" She
paused to enjoy her sensation.
Il would like to see that lock-"
Hotchkiss said promptly, but for some
reason the woman demurred. 81 will
bring the key down. she said and dis
appeared. When she returned she
held out an ordinary door key of the
cheapest variety.

Mcknight remarked lazily, "or is that

Will Re.Assess.

Among other business transacted at
the adjourned meeting of the county
commissioners this week the board
passed resolution to re.assess the
townships of Lamberton and Redwood
Falls and the villages of Lucan and
Morgan, because there were no monies
or credits listed in these places.
The board also passed resolution
to investigate the assessment OF the
villages of Lamberton and Sanborn
and the city of Redwood Falls, as
being too low.
The error is doubtless partly with
the assessors, and also with the people
who do not seem to understand the
new law. The law should be enforced
and if it is q good one all should be
treated alike and if it is found to te
wrong it should be abolished.
For instance there are several places
in the county as stated above, where
there are no money credits listed, and
some of the larger villages listed q
much smaller amount than smaller
villages.
Lamberton only listed $4,000 while
Walnut Grove listed over $50, 900.
The commissioners have acted upon
the recommendation of the state tax
commission.
In Redwood county there was
1884, 900 returned by the assessors on
money and credits while over in Rem
Vile there was over $500, 200.
At Marshall there was not q dollars
worth returned and in this city there
was over 800, OOO-Redwood Falls

one, which would bring them into
western Canada if the flight is con-
tinued for sufficient length OF time.
Omaha railroad officials said that
thew received no advices that any OF
the grasshoppers alighted in their ter
ritory. They we're still "goipg" from
what they learn.
Most of the cutting of grain has
been finished along the Omaha IN
southern Minnesota, SO the grass
noppers cannot do much harm.

HERMAN ClRKLER IS CALLED
Old German. Pioneer Passes Away
Suddenly New ulm Settler.

Herman Cirkler, one Of the bsst
known German residents OF Ainneapo-
lis, and : pioneer Of long standing,
expired suddenly Friday ct his home,
lin Minneapolis. Mr.. Cirkler had
gone to the basement to turn on %
electric light. The maid heard him
fall, and on going to him found him .
dead. tits believed death Was due
principally to ole age. 81
Mr.. Cirkler was born in Sflesta
May 26, 1882. He came to America
about 1860 with some of the liberal
German societies which formerly came
in colonies to the United States. He
was one of the early settlers OF New
Ulm, the men with whom he came
giving to that city its strong German
characteristics. Mr.. Cirkler was IN
New Ulm at the time OF the Sioux
outbreak in 1862, and his vas the first
house to be attacked by the Indians.
Happily. the Indians were repulsed
before any member of his family had
suffered.
After the massacre Mr.. Cirkler
moved to St. Paul, where he lived q
year, and then came to Minneapolis,
which has since been his home. He
became prominent from the start, and
was identified with many Of the early
mover ents for the upbuilding OF the
city. He was particularly prominent
in all matters pertaining to his own
nationality, and took IN active part
in everything that had to do with
German or the Germans. 1t has been
said of him that more than any other
man in Minneapolis he was q type Of
the liberal, energetic. broad-minded
German.American citizen.
For 10 years Mr.. Cirkler was grand
secretary of the Sons Of Hermann, re.
firing from Office about six years ago.
In his official capacity he had wide
acquaintance among the German citl'
Gems of the state.

DR.. P. A. Aurness, live in Minnespo'

. Eve of them gave him massage treat:
ment which could do credit to any
Johnson and Jeffries excepting for the
unfairness of the attack.
With blood streaming down his face
Meyer ran to his home across the road
IN an almost insensible state and pro-
cured his shotgun with the intention
of perforating his enemies with No rs
to the same extent that he himself had
been damaged by them. Returning to
the Seifert place he found the enemy to
have retreated into the house. After
he had emptied his shells at the gable
of the house, he went back TO the
Manderfeld home where it was found
that he was in need of medical assis-
lance and doctor was called to attend
him.
