Board of Directors Meets.

The board of directors of the
Glendorado Farmers Mutual In
surance company met at the court
house on Tuesday afternoon In reg
ular session, audited number of
bills and considered other matters
which demanded attention. Among
these matters was the fire claim of
H. NJ. Sigler, amounting to 5000.
After careful deliberat ion it was de-
cided that the same could not be
paid in consequence of the fact that
Mr.. Sigler was not a member of the
company, as the assignment of Mr..
Arnhold had not been submitted to
the secretary. The directors came
to the conclusion that an allowance
of this claim would mean a violation
of the insurance laws.
Messrs. Ug]em and Erstad were
appointed a committee to adjust
losses at Kathio and Vineland.
Those present at the meeting were
o. H. Vglem, Long Siding, presi
dent; J. A. Erstad, Freer, secre
tary; Charles D. Kaliher, Elk River
treasurer: P. H. Stay and ]. w. Carl
son, Glendorado; Peter Jensen

Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. SKahen and Mr..
and Mrs. S. P. Skahen gave fare
well party to Prof. P. S. O'Reilly at
Maccabee hall on Monday evening.
The party was in the nature of terp-
sichorean event in which 80 couple
participated, the music being fur
nished by Marshall's orchestra. The
dance was interspersed with unique
innovations in the method of select
ing partners and decorations of white
and yellow were artistically arranged
throughout the hall. In the adjacent
room-furnished for place of rest
was large bowl filled with delicious
frappe, from which the dancers re-
freshed themselves whensoever they
deemed fit. The party was devoid
of conventionality Just the sort OF
an event which one could enjoy with
out fear of offending any one through
omission to put on clawhammel
coat, one-button vest. a ''biled'
shirt or monocle.
Prof. O'Reilly departed yesterday
for Washington, D. c., to report tt
the powers that be, and from there

Frank Goulding, George Staples,

The "book of law" used in confer

as the most beautifully impressive

The Late James G. Flynn.

James G. Flynn, former we'll
known politician of Little Falls,
died at the Hampshire Arms hotel
in M Minneapolis on the 10th inst.
Mr.. Flynn represented, in part, the
old 39th legislative district, COM
Drised of the counties of Todd, Grow
Wing, Morrison, Benton and Mile
Laos, in the house in the sessions of
1887 and 1889, and was the republic
can nominee for state senator in 1890,
but was defeated by the democratic
candidate, George Geissel of Morri-
son county-Mille Laos was the only
county that Mr.. Flynn carried.
In the nineties Mr.. Flynn suffered
financial reverses, but he afterwards
became interested in iron ore lands,
retrieved his fortune and died IN
comfortable circumstances.
The contest for the republican
nomination for state senator in 1896
in the 46th district-Todd, Grow
Wing, Morrison and Mile Lacs-was
mem orable one and much bitter
feeling was engendered. Leon E.
Lum of Brainerd, William e. Lee OF
Long Prairie and j. G. Flynn were
the candidates. The convention was
held at Little Falls and, after ballot
ing for several hours, Mr.. Flynn was
declared the nominee and, as already
related, was defeated in the Novem
Der election by Mr.. Geissel. A. F
Howard, at that time sheriff of Mile
Laos county, figured quite promi
nently in the nominating convention
it was Howard's vote that prevented
the nomination of Mr.. Lum.

tuberculosis Sufferers Warned.

DR.. D. G. Rucker, assistant sur
geon general of the United States
public health service, warns sufferers
from tuberculosis against so-called
"cures'' for tuberculosis, and urges
them to use the remedies recognized
by the medical fraternity. ''These
recognized remedies,' says the
doctor, "are nourishing food-lots of
it-with meat, eggs, butter and
milk; fresh air morning, noon and
night; with a minimum of exercise;
sunshine all the time the sun is shin
ing, and proper living, long hours
of Sleep no smoking, no alcoholic
liquors. These have been proved of
enormous value in the cure of tuber-
culosis. No other cure, no matter
how we'll advertised, has yet done as
much"
The public health service, DR..
Rucker said, would continue it's in
vestigating until it has proved the
exact worth of the friedman
"cure.'
