EASTER

AS the stone was rolled from the en-
Of the sepulcher at the dawn of day,
So the doors Of your heart can be
opened
IF he's allowed to have his way.
This door was guarded by soldiers
Of Roman blood and skill,
But the Angel of the Lord came down
And opened it at his will;
His face shown with light so bright,
His raiment was whittier than snow,
And only touch from his lily white
hand
Was needed to move the door.
Behold the linen was cast aside,
An awakening then took place;
Christ, Jesus, Lord, who was cruel
fed,
Walked out of that lowly place
The Marys came to anoint their Lord
With spices and rich perfumes.
Fear not" saith the angel unto them,
ssThe One whom you seeks not here,
He hath risen as ordained on the third
day,
Oh, the joyful tidings they had to
4
To His loved ones, far and near;
OF the resurrection of Christ the
King.
But many were wrapped in fear,
For few had believed these things
could be,
| And now that they saw and knew ,
They remembered the other teachings
Whom they had thought to be IN
true.
When Easter comes, let us ne'er forget
To commemorate the day
That our Lord arose from out the
tomb,
Having shed his blood to pay
| For the sins of all men here on earth.
Who win open the doors of their
hearts
! And let Jesus in to have his way,
OF each thought and deed take part
Then sing for joy through al the land
For this wonderful TRANSFORMATION
Pray for the purer, brighter light
To shine on the heather nation.
Bear the Easter lilies in your hand
i To bedeck His Brides affairs,
For sweetness and purity they stand,
To show your faith ne'er falters-
Then hail the dawning of Taste
morn,
With rejoicing and with singing.
Continue to praise His beloved name
Keep the wild echoes ringing,
Open wide your heart and take hin
IN,
There to remain Away;
Keep your mind forever imbued wit
the thought.
Why we celebrate Easter day.

LABORER ATTEMPTS TO STOP
COUPLE OF AUTOMOBILES
NEAR FAIRY LAKE

Christmas evening as Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Smith were returning from
spending the day at the home of the
lady's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Cooper, they came upon stranger
standing in the middle of the road
a short distance east of Fairy Lake.
AS the fellow did not make any effort
to get out of the way Charley pulled
the car out and drove around
him.
Mr. and Mrs. Cooper were coming
in another car a short distance be-
hind, and when they reached him the
fellow commanded them to stop. 1t
looked like sure-enough hold-up but
they succeeded in getting away. When
they reached Sank Centre the parties
were naturally very much excited.
Police Officer Geo. Fish was notified,
and in company with Mr.. Smith he
Immediately set out to locate the
stranger. They made inquiries of the
farmers in the vicinity and found
where he had stopped and asked for
directions to another farm home.
The officer finally located him beside

machine stop, and drawing his gun he
ordered the fellow to come to him.
The man was standing with both
hands in his coat pockets and the of
licer was watching him closely to see
that he did not get the drop on him.
He finally commanded the man to
come to him, which he did reluctantly.
On being searced it was found that
he did not have any firearms upon
his person. He was loaded into the
car and brought to town and lodged
in the Jail over night.
&c wasyshreaght. before Municipal
Judge Diehl, and after close question
ing was discharged, as it was quite
certain that it would not be possible
to convict him for attempted hold-up.
The fellow has been employed by
one of the farmers residing in the vi
vinity of Fairy lake for some time,
but had been in town on a protracted
spree for several days prior to his ar
rest. Just what his notion was in at
tempting to stop the cars is nc
known.

ent residence in Sank Centre once
more. a

RATE BOOST IN MILEAGE BOOKS
No Coupon Books for Interstate
Travel Will be sold Hereafter
By the Railroads.

st. Paul, Dec. 28.-Mileage books
on railroads operating in the north
west will advance from $40 to $45.
This is in accordance with the recent
decision Of the interstate commerce
commission allowing passenger fare
advances on western railroads, which
goes into effect soon. These books
are good for 1000 miles of interstate
travel.
According to the present plans of
the railroads, no mileage books for
interstate travel will be sold except
in Nebraska, where the law compels
their sale. Mileage books bought be-
fore December 20 will be good for one
year.
The first fares, except mileage tick
cts, probably will be ready to go into
effect January Is. After tariffs be-
tween principal terminals have been
arranged, the remainder of the new
rate fabric will be built up as rapidly
as possible, new fares going into eff
feet after five days notice to the inter-
state commerce commission.
There will be no change in the fares
where the line of road lies entirely
within the state.
Rate clerks of all western carriers
met in Chicago Friday to begin the
figuring of tariffs on the new basis
which is "a cents a mile instead of 2
cents as heretofore.

annual F|REMEN'S
ELECTION TUESDAY
SAUK CENTRES FINE DEPART
MENT CLOSE THE YEAR IN
SPLENDID SHAPE
One BAD FIRE DURING YEAR
NEW AND MODERN EQUIPMENT
INCREASES FIRE FIGHT
ING EFFICIENCY

The annual meeting of the Sank
Centre Fire Department will be held
next Tuesday night at which time all
routine business will be wound up,
annual reports of officers heard and
officers for the ensuing year elected.
The reports of officials will I'M
doubtedly prove gratifying to the de-
partment members as we'll as citizens
generally because of the splendid
standing of the department financial
ly and otherwise. The report of
Chief Kusba will review the active
work of the year and outline how,
through the generosity of the Fire
Department Relief Association, the
city was able to provide the depart
ment with a modern auto combina-
ton fire truck, thus RELOCATING the old
obsolete equipment to the reserve ap-
paratus. The report will show that
during the year the department re-
sponded to five fire calls all of which
were extinguished practically with
out loss except the old high school
building, the loss on which was to-
tally covered by insurance.
The treasurer's report will show
the general fund to be in extremely
healthy condition, having been aug
mented by more than $500 by the pro-
ceeds from the annual Thanksgiving
ball which was the biggest and most
successful in the history Of the depart
ment. The secretary's report will also
be interesting.
The greatest interest centers nat
urally, in the election of officers. The
retiring officials are Jos. w. kusba,
chief; E. A. Richads, first assistant;
E. E. Jameson, second assistant; G.
l. Dobbs, secretary; A. F. Strebel,
treasurer. The old officers will very
likely be reelected without opposi-
ton. Chief Kusba is ending his first
term as head of the department. He
has made a good record as an execu-
tive and fire fighter and is entitled to
reelection.

ment given out by Mr.. Doty this week.
Miss Rice is a daughter of Mrs.
Agnes Rice of Sank Centre, and for
several years has been a valued en-
ploye of the several banks of Hon.
William E. Lee. She entered the
employ of Mr.. Lee and his associ-
ates at the Eagle Bend bank, later
for four or five years serving in the
Bank of Long Prairie. When Mr..
Lee and the other Long Prairie
gentlemen purchased the Swanville
bank last summer, Miss Rice was
transferred there, and was assistant
cashier until recently, when she
rendered her resignation in order tt
take up her new duties as home
maker. Mr.. Doty is a son of Mrs
A. J. Doty, of Rankin, ILL.,, where he
was born. He came to Long Prairie
in February of this year, and recent
ly, in partnership with John B.
Burns, purchased the Pure Food
Bakery and Restaurant, which they
have since conducted.
Both of the parties to the wedding
have large circle of friends here, all
of whom are extending them belated
though none the less hearty and sim
cere congratulations.
Mrs. Doty is now at the home of
her mother in Sank Centre, but will
arrive here on Monday, when the
happy couple will go to housekeep-
ing in apartments over the restaur-
ant building.

FROZEN TO DEATH NEAR HOME
Douglas County Young Man Falls by
Wayside While Intoxicated Sun
day Evening.-"Dry County"

Fergus Falls, Dec. 28.-Martin An
gen, aged "a, and unmarried, was
frozen to death within few rods of
his home two miles west of Garfield
Sunday night. He lived with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jens Angen, pros
porous and respected farmers of tina
place.
Martin had been drinking quite
heavily and was seen in Garfield Sun
day afternoon on his return from Al.
exandria- Sometime during the night
he left Garfield for home, but the
liquor he had been drinking was too
much for him and he laid down by the
side of the road where he was found
Monday morning by a neighbor. The
body was frozen stiff. He evidently
realized his condition, and was trying
hard to make home, as there were ev-
licences of his having fallen several
times. His mittens were found by the
side of the road a short distance from
where the body lay, as was an empty
whiskey bottle. A bottle still contain
ing some liquor was in his coat
pocket.
His parents have the sympathy of
the community and there is already
a movement on foot to find out, if pos
sible, the place where the young man
got the liquor. He was in Sank Cen
tire last Wednesday, which is wet
town and in Alexandria Sunday AL
exandria is supposed to be dry.
