CAUGHT BY THE WAYSiDE.

A dispatch from Belle PLANE, Iowa,
says: In a lot where formerly
Catholic church stood, Frank Rob
met, the present owner, yesterday
dug up a tin chest containing more
than $4,000 in gold. silver and paper
money The chest was discovered
while men were eXcayating for q
residence. How the money came to
be buried is mystery, but the most
plausible theory is that it was placed
in the ground temporarily by Father
Demmet, a Catholic priest who for
merly was in charge of the old
church, and who was drowned near
Chelsea, Iowa, about eight years ago.

Senator Thayer says that he sprayed
his registered trotter with the stuff.
and that the horse is now as bald

purpose After the pure food depart

A charge made by Golfers Weekly
i'm an editorial this week that state
lands in Minnesota are falling into the

acres of state lands have been dispOs-
ed of this season, and most OF 1t TO

by Golfers that settlers cannot get
information about the land offered
for sale, Mr. Iverson says the state
appraisers report is open to every
one, showing the amount of timber
and prairie land on each tract, the
surface, character of soil, value OF
timber and number of acres OF waste
land. Sales are limited to 800 acres

After going over books, papers and
warrants, the board Of education in
district No. 4, South Bend township,
have figured that the discrepancy in
the accounts of the former treasurer,
Dan T. Bowen, is reduced to 800.
A meeting of the board was held
on Saturday night and considerable
time was spent in making an exami.
nation of the books and warrants.
1t is expected that another meet
ing will be held soon and further
examination of the books will be
made.
Clerk Hultengren stated that the
books were in bad shape and it was
a difficult matter to determine just
the exact amount of the discrepancy.
1t is understood that Mr.. Bowen
is at Moose Jaw, Canada.
Members of the board are con-
WINGED that Mr.. Bowen will willingly
effect a settlement when his atten-
ton is drawn to the difference in his
account with the district. The board
does not believe that there was any
intention on his part to defraud the
district.

Commercial Club Meeting.

The Commercial club meeting to
be held this evening promises to be
largely attended owing to the fact
that the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a
special election for the purpose OF
voting on an addition of $4,000 in
order that the water system may be
completed according to the original
plan will be discussed. The matter
of securing a city charter for North
Mankato was left over from the last
meeting Of the club to be taken up
at the meeting of tonight. 1t is
argued that such q charter would
give the council more direct power
in ordering the construction of pub
lie improvements such as sidewalks,
curbs, boulevards, etc. and would
facilitate in other matters Of public
business. The fifty dollars raised
through the efforts Of the club by
subscription for the advertising book
let that will be issued by the Man
kato club is still in the treasurer's
hands ready for use in the project
for which it was raised AS many
inquiries have been made lately
about the booklet no doubt this mat
ter will be reported upon by the
committee appointed to look after
the village interests in the booklet.
1t is learned on inquiry that nothing
has been done by the club committee
Of Mankato excepting that il number
of new photographs Of residences
and views of the city have been
taken The cause of the delay could
not be learned.

parlor in the basement at 1872 South
Front street, complained to the pc.
lice this forenoon that couple of
tramps were in his place, and that
he saw one of them fOOling around

went to the safe and found, that a
dollar that was in it was gone. This
was at $50 a. M, and few mo-
ments later Officer Bienapf found
the man and locked him UP. He had
seventy cents in change and hall
pint bottle of whisky, costing a
quarter, and had spent nickle for
beer.
The man gave the name of Harry
Parker and said that his home was
in Pennsylvania. He claimed that
his partner gave him dollar to buy
whisky with. Officer SimmOnds and
Mr.. Palmer made a search for
Parker's partner, but were unable to
locate him. Parker was being held

struck the electric light arch about
seventy feet from where it started,
and was stopped with only slight
damage to the machine, also a

Birthday Party.

A birthday party in honor Of the
fftieth birthday O f Mrs. c.. l..
jenkins was given at Locust Feb. ID.
The lady's daughters, Mrs. Agnes
and Nettie, who were the primes
movers in the affair, prepared a fine
dinner for the guests and the inter
vening time till near midnight was
spent in games, music and social
diversion, and felicitation of the
hostess.
My fiftieth birthday has come at last
Just half hundred years have past
Since my own dear mother first held me
in her clasp,
| was wee little thing so helpless and
lean.
The people were poor as poor as ever
could be,
but happier lot you never could see;
They had little to ear and little to wear
But with one another they ever would
share.
Grantsville is the home of my birth,
The little old place where first came
to earth,
1t was close to the great Salt Lake,
the breezes blew
And the pleasures of childhood always
knew
The grasshopper come and took all our
grain
But dear father planted and planted
again,
1t was corn that he planted and that
was our grain,
That give us bread till seed time come
again.
NV parents were those of the Pioneer
stock
And more noble could never been got,
They were honest and true in that what
they knew,
So they imported to Others all the way
through
Ny hair is uprinkled with silvery grey,
And the days of my youth are passing
away,
And may the dear master never let me
stay
When am helpless and can't earn my
way.
A pleasure it is for me to work;
To do all can and never to shirk;
The cares OF life, altho, they aye many,
The clouds we pass thro' some time
may be shiny.
My family and relatives both old and
small,
A good feeling have in my heart for
you all;
May you live long and do what's right,
And if you do, in the end you will come
out all right
To die will be the last thing that III do,
But to dread death can't say TINT do;
For one thing | know my Master will do,
He may not judge me as harshly as
others might do
But mission on earth was sent for
to do,
And know many times have failed, so
have you;
SO want to live to do good unto you.
For know will get rewarded for
just what do.
