Fine Prospects Are Mapped Out
For William Hall

William Hall, a former resident of
Sterling, is now enjoying good health,
wealth and happiness in st. Cloud,
Fla, to which place ne went few
years ago, following his marriage to
one of the well-known and popular
ladies in Sterling. Mr.. Hall is en-
gagged in the growth of citrus trees
at Florida, and his success in this
venture is told by The Tribune, pub
lished in ST. Cloud. Mr.. Halls many
friends in this city and county will
read the following with interest:
upon different occasions slight
try and thrift displayed by a large
number of the residents of st. Cloud,
special places having been selected
and commented upon, in the hope
that others would feel inspired to
clear of, clean up, cultivate the
ground and get it ready for either
citrus groves, banana or pineapple
plantations. A brief mention has
heretofore been made Of the place

William Hall in the allotment of
land drew five acre tract less than

of our city. That five-acre tract today
is the envy of every person who has
inspected it. Drawn in the first al.

supreme court, and declared that
the judges were adequately filling
their requirements in dispensing JUS

Ceases Distinguished" was JUS
tice Oscar Hallam's subject. He re-
counted the progress of law and
justice since the time of the trial
of man by fire or by wager of
battle, up to the present most ad-
vanced stage. More especially did
he speak of the rapid progress dur
ing the past hundred years, and
with telling effect, he related some
of the cases and punishments in
vogue in the eastern states only a
hundred years ago. "They used to
hang a man." said he, "for what
they parole him for now fIe also
spoke of the increasing respect for
followers of the profession, and not
ed the fact that lawyers are not so
often referred to as "shysters" and
crooks" as they formerly were.
The address of United States Com
missioner Benjamin C. Taylor of
Mankato was a gem, according to
several eminent authorities present
at the banquet. 1t was full of beau
tiful descriptions, poetic in the ex-
IRENE, striking SMILES and unstinted
humor He said that he had come
to Mankato fifteen years ago, and
that at that time there were 5000
people here, and now he declared
that there were $4,000, but included
those who were in the cemeteries.
His witty narration of a number of
peculiar court decisions brought
many laugh from his hearers, but
never once did Ben Taylor unlimber
his somber ohysiognomy to smile
Short Stump Speech.
Mr.. Washburn announced that TT.
V. Mercer of Minneapolis would
make a short stump speech in ia
vor of his candidacy for president
of the association. Mr. Mercer ex-
pressed his gratitude very warmly
for the entertainment Mankato had
afforded, and said that he would be
glad to come again. After his hear.
ers had laughed uproariously at his
'funnyisms" he said that he was
glad that the supreme court was
getting the respect due it for the
class of work it is doing. He sug-
gested that some definite plan of
action for the coming year be map
ped out and executed by the associa-
ton Owing to the lateness of the
hour, no more speeches were made
although there were an abundance
of other good after dinner speakers

Editors are born boosters. The
other day an editor was solicited
to join lodge and was handed a
petition printed by the supply
house; he got dun from a mer-
chant in a government stamped
envelope and written on a garg-
ling oil statement; he made a pur-
chase at store and got dupli-
cate bill printed in Chicago, and
wrote a check that had been
printed in Denver. Ye gods,
how can an editor expect to join
a lodge and pay his bills on such
treatment as that, and all the
