Business Outlook Good
Joe Meyer Sees Many Encour
aging Indications at Duluth

After an extended visit at Duluth
and Superior to which places he
went before the holidays, Joe Meyer.
the we'll known land man and close
student of political and business con.
ditions, is back home. At Duluth
he found very hopeful undertone in
financial circles and the big business
interests there were preparing for an
immediate wave of prosperity.
Because of the general business de-
preston due to sudden political
changes in this country and the miIit-
ary upheaval in Europe business has
been very quiet in the range country.
Superior and Duluth were hard hit
when the steel trust retrenched and
hundreds of miners left the country.
Just now the steel people as we'll as
the coal and shipping interests of the
country are preparing for an early
resumption and from several places
come reports that thousand of men
have returned to work. Preparations
are steadily prog iessing at Duluth
and in the iron country for the open
ing of the mines again as soon as the
weather permits. There are indica-
tions of activity at the docks, railroad
terminals and shops, and everywhere
there is a hopeful attitude.
While at the head of the lakes Mr..
Meyer met the foreign representative
of an American farm implement con.
Germ who had just returned from
Vienna where he was marooned when
the war broke out. He stated Ameri-
can farm machinery was finding its
way into all sections of Austria.

Hospital Goes to Pope
Site for Proposed $685. 900 Build.
ing to be Near Glenwood

At the meeting of the recently ap-
pointed committee on arrangements for
the proposed tubereular hospital to be
jointly provided by Grant, Douglas,
Pope and Stevens counties. held at
Alexandria last Tuesday it was un-
animously decided to select site near
Glenwood. DR.. Caine and Commits
soner Dohlen from Stevens county at
tended the meeting to which all the
committee members came with the
exception of those from Grant county.
A permanent hospital committee was
selected and Dr. Caine was made pre-
sident and DR.. A. E. Eberlin, of Glen
wood. secretary.
According to the plans adopted at
the Alexandria meeting committee
was named to select the building site
with instructions to look for it near
Glenwood. The committee will select
several and the state board of control
will be asked to make the final selec-
tion. DIR. Caine and Mr.. Dohlen
will recommend that one be chosen
some where on the Northern Pacific
railway. Members frola Grant and
Douglas will probably desire one on
the 500 and therefore the site may
be brought to the lake at or some
point between the two railways. Any
way, Pope county will get the hospital
if there is to be one. Minneapolis
architects have been given the con-
tract to furnish plans and specifca-
tions.
The cost of the proposed hospital
has not been definitely decided. An
opinion among the building committee
members indicate that $50. 900 will
be the figure. Sentiment favoring
the hospital is said to be unanimous in
Pope and Grant counties.

The tracks cross the road diagonally

wards went to Minot where he became
city attorney and afterwards mayor.
His administration was as sensational
as his magazine. and after six months
reign he was deprived of the Office.
Then he went to Bismarck and began
the publication of Jim Jam Jems
which was primarily started to even
up matters with the hostile bunch al
Minot. Clark and his partner were
arrested, tried and convicted some
time ago for sending obscene matter
through the mails, and they drew a
sentence for term at Fort Leaven-
worth, which sentence was later
changed.
Clark is popular at bis old home in
Stephen and whenever he visits the
town there is banquet and smoker
among his friends. He has found the
magazine great seller and he is now
on the high road to wealth. While
his publication is condemned by
many Clark is given credit FOR having
accomplished much good through his
questionable means.

Too Much Liquid Joy Ends in
Forty Day Jail Sentence

Because Ed. Collins, James Foster

F. G. Eastman was the first and
he drew four days.
Ed. Collins Jared worse. He got

released from the county Jail where
he served fifteen days, and to ceIe-
brate his release properly he used
liquid refreshments too freely.
James Foster, an old acquaintance
of the police courts in Morris, was
also found celebrating. He had just

friends in Northern Minnesota and
was so glad to get back that he in
bibed too freely. After sustaining

STRANGE CASE BATTLES
WINTHROP DOCTORS
During Sick Spell Albert Kruger
Vomits up Fourteen Green
Frogs and Escapes an Opera
ton for Appendicitis

One of the most remarkable cases
which has come to the attention of
Minnesota doctors for some time hap
pened at Winthrop last week when
Albert Kruger. we'll known young
man of heretofore exemplary habits.
vomited up fourteen frogs, ten of
which were alive. DR.. O. F. Johnson,
of Winthrop attended the case and is
greatly mystified. His report of the
matter to be made to the state medi-
cal association will be interesting.
Kruger claims that since the fall
of 1913 he has been ailing more or
less and has been examined by many
doctors VINO concluded he had ap-
pendicitis. None of the doctors felt
quite sure, and Kruger decided he
would wait and see. Last week he
was suddenly taken sick after the
fashion of sea-sick persons and when
things were looming up" seven live
frogs we're wiggling before his face
on the floor. The sight was so start.
ling and nauseating that Kruger had
another spell during which two more
live ones and four dead ones were
added to the Shiny number. DR..
Johnson Immediately examined the
mans stomach and found no more
frogs there. Two hours later the
man was feeling fine and dandy. The
frogs have been picked in a bottle of
alcohol.
Just how the frogs entered his
stomach Kruger cannot explain. He
is quits sure the first live frog made
its presence felt year ago. Morris
doctors Mio have heard off The cs5
say it is possible the man may have
drank water containing frogs eggs
which hatched in the stomach later on.
But just how the frogs could live so
long cannot be definitely decided. The
frogs cast up by Kruger measured an
inch in length, indicating that it was
some time since they emerged from
the polly-wog stage.

Sheriff Zahl Feeds Them On
Two Hundred and Eighty-one
Days Rations But Had Only
Two Rooms for Them

twenty-five prisoners were guests
at Sheriff Zahl's county boarding
house last year. All of them were
males and only two of them remained
to finish up the old year and begin
the new in confinement. Out Of the
total number only four were there at
one time and they had to double up
on the rooms since the landlord has
only two separate rooms at his unpop-
ular hotel where the beds are hard and
paddock bangles on every guest
chamber.
Sheriff Zahl has just finished his re.
port to the state board of control.
The report covers the year ending
December 81 and shows there were
twenty FIVE prisoners at the county jail
the past year. They were sentenced
for longer or shorter terms and twenty
of them remained to finish their SEN
tences. One was released on bail,
one paid fine and one was transferred
to state institution and the other
two were still there on Jan. l
During the year no religious SER
vice was held at the Jail and the only
reading matter furnished was the
daily newspapers kindly loaned to the
men by Sheriff Zahl. The county
furnished no reading matter of any
kind. No labor was required of the
prisoners and all they had to do was
eat, read the papers and sleep. Al
tines the men were given exercises
about the court house yard by the
sheriff but the men took good care tt
avoid all the strenuous varieties.
Mrs. Caroline Zahl is the matror
s..sa she serves without salary
Frank A. Zahl is the jailor and hi.
monthly stipend is $40. The county
expended about $50 for painting
which covers the Jail improvement
during 1915.
The food consumed by the twenty
Ave prisoners amonted to 281 days
rations and cost the county $168. so
which is at the rate of sixty cents pc
day.
