Motor Co. i'm Minnesota.

We learn that quite an important,
in fact, an exceedingly large business
arrangement was consummated day
or two ago between three of our
most prominent, popular and best
young men and the Colby Motor Co.,
Of Mason City, Iowa, whereby Henry
Walch, Albert Walch and Leroy Wer-
ges will go to Minneapolis and en-
gage in the retail automobile business
on a very large scale. This arrange
ment was completed, as said before,
between these young men and the
Messrs. Colbys, representing the Col
by Motor Co., whereby the entire sale
of Colby cars for the state of Mime
sofa will be handled by these young
men, through a Minneapolis distrib-
uting agency. The Colby Motor Co.
have operated for some time branch
of the factory at Minneapolis and
have been very successful in the sale
of Colby cars in Minneapolis and
such parts of Minnesota for which
they have been able to furnish cars
for distribution. -McGregor News.

Rides on Old Ticket.

Council Bluffs, August 26.-Rail-
road conductors, who are constantly
relating queer incidents OF travel,
will have to go some to exceed in in
terest and strangeness the experience
of Conductor Modeman, who operates
a passenger run between Council
Bluffs and Boone on the Northwes-
tern, who yesterday took up ticket
sold by the railroad company July
%, 1875, and good from Chicago to
Council Bluffs.
Conductor Modeman was speech
less for a few minutes when an I'M
known passenger gave him the ticket
and he had to do some studying he
fore convincing himself that the tic
ket was genuine and good for ride
at this late day. The ticket was sign
ed by w. A. Thraw, general passen-
ger agent for the Chicago & North
western in 1875 and bore on its face
a printed paragraph, over the signa-
ture of Thraw, that the ticket was
good for passage over the line when
ever presented, condition quite DIFF
ferent from that under which rail-
road tickets are sold at the present
time, which limits them to thirty
days.

Thief Steals Horse.

Sheriff Russell and Frank Shekle-

Friday to get horse and buggy that
belonged to Mr.. Shekleton and which
were stolen from the street in Law
Ter a day or two previous. The Bre-
mer county authorities telephoned
Sheriff Russell that they had the
horse and buggy, but the thief had
got away. The buggy had been aban-
doned and the thief took the horse
to Waverly and sold her for five dol
lars and made his escape. Mr.. Shek-
Teton, as far-famed breeder OF hors-
es, is justly outraged at the affront
given him and his business by some
Waverly man buying one OF his fine
mares for five dollars.-New Hamp-

Shores Sunday afternoon near Wash
burn, where she had stopped to rest
When interviewed Mrs. Slater told
an amazing story of her jourIeyings.
She left Philadelphia nearly two
years ago, and has walked all the
way, spending most of the nights in
country school houses. In the school
yards she would start a bonfire and
prepare her meals. Her packs con-
sisted of two gunnysacks filled with
kitchen utensils, provisions and cloth
ing. She walks fifteen to twenty
miles day, but of late her daily
jaunts have been shortened because
her feet are sore and swollen.
When seen in the county Jail,
where she will be cared for until her
relatives can be communicated with
Mrs. Slater was busy with needle
work. Her clothing shows the effects
of exposure in all kinds of weather.
During her long tour the woman has
slept in several hundred school hous-
es in ten states.
Mrs Slater's home is at Troy, n.
Y. There her girlhood and young
womanhood were spent in a factory
but she acquired a good education in
book lore and music, in her spare
hours. She was married, but sep
arated from her husband. All her
seven children are dead, but one, a
daughter, who when least heard of
was in Philadelphia. Her parents
are separated. The last she heard
from her mother was in Cincinnati
and her father in Lake Falls Park,
N. Y. She has not heard from any
of her relatives nor they from her
in the past two years. The aunt at
st. Paul is Mrs. James Slocum.
If allowed to continue her walk,
the woman says she can reach st.
Paul by the middle of September.
