terested in another milling proposition
A deal which gives Them the control Of
The George q. Christian mill of Minne'
apo1s was closed last week and the new
owners will take charge of the property
between the first and fifth of next month
This milling property has daily capacity
of q, 900 barrels, altho at the present time
the machinery installed is able to pro.
duce only 1000 barrels on twenty -foul
hour run The milling property is stu
ated in Northwest Minneapolis, is Of
brick construction and in appearance
resembles the mill at Sleepy Eye. The
mill has been in operation for the past
Is years under the name Century Milling
Co. and there will be practically no change
in the name except that the corporation
will be known as The Century Milling
Co." with an authorized capital stock OF
81 ,OOO, 100000, most of which will be
owned by local capitalists.
Eagle Mill People Will Direct
The principal stockholders will be
Chas. vogtel, John H. Siegel, H. I.
Beecher, P. A. Murphy and H. c. Vogtel
from here; William Silverson from Shell
byville, Ind, Franklin Edwards of
Marshall and Mrs. Catherine Silverson
of Minneapolis. The first beard of
directors will consist of Chas. Vogtel,
John H. Siegel, William Silverson, p.
A. Murphy and H. C. Vogtel.
PA. Murphy Chosen Manager
The officers have as yet not been select
ed, but it has been definitely decided to
make P. A. Murphy general manager
and H. c. Vogtel his assistant. This
means that Mr.. Murphy will remove
with his family to Minneapolis in very
short time.
Sure OF Success
New Ulm will regret to lose the Mur-
phys but are pleased at his advancement
which is certainly well merited. It is
a hard matter to keep good Irishman
down and Mr.. Murphy has proven to
the satisfaction Of the people who have
now selected him for the important posi-
ton Of manager of big milling propo-
sition that he has the ability to make
good and what is about as important,
the necessary energy and stick-to-it-ive-
ness. This "Pat" has and his friends
predict for him most successful career
in the new enterprise.
According to present plans machinery
will be installed for 1900 barrel barley
flour mill. Probably only one half
as. much machinery will be required
to manufacture barley flour as wheat
flour. AS soon as conditions are normal
again enough more machinery will
be added to increase the capacity to
1000 barrels of wheat flour in "a hours.
With the same brains back of the new
milling concern which have made the
Eagle Roller Mill Co. such, big fl
nancial success, there is every reason
to believe that the new concern viii
become a big factor in the milling
business ofathe Northwest. =

must be given in this weeks issue al
tho not quite complete at this writing.
At the Congregational church the
older members of the congregation
offered their contribution to the solemn
joy fof the Christmas tide by render
ing the beautiful cantata, The Christ
Child" at the hour of the regular morn
ing aservices last Sunday. The early
observance of the Christmas festival
in this way was necessitated because
a number of those taking solo parts
are members of the teaching force oil
the city schools and they will leave
for their vacations before another Sab
bath.
Cantatas Next Sunday
In the Cantata Sunday there were
numerous solos, duets and trios which
we're sung by the leading voices in
addition to. the chorus which was
rendered by some twenty five voices.
Mrs Shrammel, and the Misses Street,
Peterson and Irene Stamm sang the
soprano solos, Mrs. Minium, contralto,
and Mrs. Poynter, alto, and the tenor
and baritone solos were sung by Mr.,
H. r. Krook and Mr.. Geo. Bromley
The music was greatly enjoyed by all
who could possibly be present to hear it
The children s entertainment will come
next Sunday afternoon at O'Clock
When the entire Sunday School vii
take part in the cantat ata, The Story
Of the Star. 2 The Christmas Tree
will be lighted then and happy voices
will carol the beautiful Christmas songs
and it will be hard to tell who will en-
JOY it more, the children or their parents

Rebuked the Judge.

OF all the retorts made by barristers
on unjust judges that recorded by
Charles Phillips, the famous pleader
of the central criminal court. London,
is perhaps best remembered. Phil
lipps, addressing jury in defense OF
man on trial for murder, was much en-
barrassed by the repeated interposl-
lions of the judge, Baron Quincy. dis
tinguished as one of the old fashioned
changing" school of British jurists.
Phillips. keeping his Irish temper
well under control to the end. got
home" with this passage in the perora-
ton of his address. looking full at
Quincy the while:
"There are those on the bench who
have the reputation of being convict
ing judges. l neither envy them their
reputation in this world nor their fate
in the next."-London Globe.

HOW TO TRANSFER PICTURES
Solution of Common Soap, Water and
Turpentine Is EmpIoyed-AppIy
With Brush or Finger.

Printed pictures from magazines,
newspapers, folders, ETC., may be
transferred to paper, cloth, cardboard,
glass or china with the following solu-
ton:
One bar of common soap Is dissolved
In a gallon of hot water, to which one
half pint of turpentine is added. After
1t has stood for a night, stir well and
bottle. The solution is applied to the
print with soft brush or ones fin
gers, and the material to which 1t is to
be transferred is placed upside down
on 1t. The back of the material Is
then rubbed and the design is trans
ferred
A picture may be transferred to
glass for the purpose of q lantern
slide. In such case the glass must
be vanished with a perfectly trans
parent varnish before transferring;
then proceed as before. Pictures are
transferred to china in the same way.

She Loved His Tomb.

An immensely wealthy widow who
gave yearly hundreds of thousands to
charity decided personally to inspect
zone individual cases of deserving
poverty herself. One of her agents
brought before her poorly clad WON
an, saying:
Here is a poor old woman, a very
decent sort of person. Her husband
ased to go about with dancing bear.

GOOD WISHES
BY FORTUNE FREE.

OMEONE said that the richest
&u> person was the one who was
- fullest of good wishes for others
and who received their good
wishes in return. Wishing others well
did MIN or her all the good in the
world, and the good wishes in return
were powerful for good. Don't we find
it so ourselves? No one can do with
out them. They are our dearest pos
sessions.
Montague Williams, the celebrated
British barrister, once related the story
of a rather unlovely old gentleman of
misery habits and rejoicing in the
nickname amongst the urchins of the
neighborhood of "Old Pickbones." Cen
crosby was not one of his virtues, and
if he wished any human creatures well
he kept it secret to himself. He was
a man who seemed impervious to all
good wishes-a solitary old grudger
who cared nothing for the good or the
bad wishes of any human creature.
When he died, however, it turned out
that he had been by no means as thick
skinned as he seemed. He left a will
in which he bequeathed money to diff
ferent persons, and ten thousand
pounds to some unknown individual
whom he directed his solicitor to dis
cover if possible. That person had
been accustomed to send him yearly
an anonymous post card with just,
"Best wishes at this time to you"
The writer gave no clue as to who
he was. Did the old gentleman tear
the cards up or throw them into the
fire? Not bit of it. He had carefully
preserved them-tied them up in a
nice packet. eff the writer can be dis
covered" he ordered in his will, 81

His Idea of Justice.

A well known Philadelphia lawyer
tells of an enterprising man in that city
who retained him to prosecute an ac-
ton. Consultation with the PLAINTIFFS
witnesses revealed the fact that their
stories were most conflicting and CON
sequently far from convincing This
fact was communicated by the lawyer
to his client, and the latter was advised
to drop the suit. After some hesitation
the client said that he would have
talk with the witnesses and the next
day inform the lawyer what he would
do in the matter The next day the eli
ent appeared, quite cheerful and with
the air of man who has won a good
fight

and they think l will win. Now, If
there is such a thing as justice in law.

HIS POSITION NO SINECURE
Persian Poet Laureate Kept at Work
lmmortalizlng the Speeches Of
His Royal Master.

Persia appears to be the only coun-
try besides England where a poet
laureate has been maintained of re-
cent years. Until Muzaffar-ed-Dih
abolished the post in 1896 the court
of Teheran had for centuries pos
sessed laureate, whose duties were
far more numerous than those of his
British confrere.
According to Narcisse Persin, who
spent some years in Persia at the
beginning of the nineteenth century,
court etiquette prescribed that
whenever the shah travelled outside
the capital his suite must include
dwarf, a giant, jester, a historiog-
fapher and a poet laureate.
The last two were kept busy, for,
while the historiographer had to re-
cord for posterity all the doings and
sayings of the shah, the laureate was
called upon to celebrate large pro-
portion of these in verse. M. Persin
highly commends this custom, which
he found rigidly followed, "for the
shah, knowing that many of his ut
terances and deeds would be crystal
lied in an ode, felt bound, on these
royal progresses, to speak and behave
maiestically."
