All are saddened at the painful
death of little Caroline Jansen, who
almost from babyhood has been one
of the most constant attendants at
Sunday school having been absent
but twice during the last year. She
was sweet, quiet, little girl who
had endeared herself to all who
we're connected with the school. She
was a delicate child and her winsome
little flower like face will be greatly
missed. -
There were 80 at Bible school Sun

from New Castle, N. III preached as

discourse proving that the desire of
all mankind for happiness could only

Roosevelt and Barnes

The trial of VIM. Barnes, the New
York Republican boss. against Col
onel Roosevelt for alleged SANDER,
has interested the reading public
during the past two weeks.
Barnes must have considered
that Roosevelt got the best of
him in their campaigns else he
would not have played the court act.
However, the result is far from
what he evidently expected. To
place Colonel Roosevelt on the wit
ness stand for several days and give
his exceptionally quick mind full
play against Barnes and his lawyers,
is described by leading newspapers
as the greatest bonehead play"
Barnes ever made. Laying aside all
partisan bias, as the historian of a
future day will do. Colonel Roose-
welt will easily stand out prominent
Iy as one of the greatest personal
tiles of his age. He viii never he

lives he will he a power in world al.

Wilson was one of three out of the

Crop Outlook

The bulk of the wheat and oats
crop is sown. although considerably
DELAYED by a late spring and wei
weather. Considerable alfalfa has
also been sown. These crops have
ideal conditions for securing a good
start. Some DELAYED fields OF
wheat. barley and speItz are being
finished up this week. In the pres
ent condition farmers predict the
grains will come forward so rapidly
that in 40 days the late spring viii
he forgotten. food farmers are
thoroughly narrowing their fields tc
retain the moisture.
There has been very little plowIng
for corn as yet, but the work will be
pushed from now on. The old idea
brought from Iowa that corn should
be planted by the 10th of May has
been declared not applicable to this
locality. Corn growers of both
experience and success say 2 if
they could pick one day to have all
their corn planted it would be MAY
2O-and prefer any days after that
to June LIST. rather than before MAJ
20. In fact corn planted any time
IN June has been known to mature.
But of purse that was the excep.
ton, rather than the rule. How
ever. late planted corn is more likely
to dodge the cool wet weather of
early May which roots the small

TWO OLD TIMERS
VISIT THE CITY
Were in Business I'm Miller Over
80 Years Ago

Attention is directed to the growth
of Miller, and development of the
surrounding country by observation
and remarks of a couple of early
day citizens. During the past week
the Press reporter had the pleasure
of visits with Rev. l.. w. Thompson
and George Myers. Thirty wears
ago Mr. Thompson conducted a gro
Gerry store in the building now &C.
cupied as a creamery. At the same
time George Myers conducted a bar
Der shop in a building on Main st.
almost opposite the creamery. This
barbershop building was located on
the lot where the Murphy second
hand store building now stands. 1t
was torn down to prevent the spread
of the only fire that ever did any
damage on Main street. A building
called the English Kitchen, a board
ing house and restaurant. located on
the lot now occupied by j. G.. Nc
Cool's Office, and p. J. Wier's cream
station. was entirely consumed by
fire.
Sometime afterwards both Mr.
Myers and Mr. Thompson left Miller,
and have been located at several
different points. Mr. Thompson be-
came a preacher. and is now engaged
at Highmore, with a homestead
west of Pierre, where his family re-
sides. He has been in several states
since leaving Miller. Mr. Myers,
after following his business Of bar
Der for several years in various
other localities, finally took up land
again ear Lennon. when the Mil
waukee road built its coast line. Mrs
Myers was Emma Lowell, and they
have returned to Miller to live at
the Lowell home, North Main Street
These two old timers express
pleasure in noting the improvement
and growth of this locality, which is
perhaps more readily realized by
them than it is by those who have
renamed here. Another feature
noticeable to them is so many people
here they do not know. A genera
ton of time makes a great deal of
difference in the people of any local
ity. Of course there are many new
ones who have located here since
that time, and others have gone
away. but the greatest difference is
in the growth of the Youngsters.
Many small school children of the
days when Messrs IT, mpson and
Myers were in business here, are
now men and women, married and
settleddown to the serious affairs Of
life, with children of their own to
look after.
