Ben Johnson, a well known farmer
of Nicollet county formerly resi-
dent of Blue Earth county, lost two

esting lawsuit is likely to result. : 1t

passing. During the night someone
ransacked the goods on the wagon.

among other mischevious acts got
hold of package of paris green and
scattered the contents in barrel
that was loaded on the wagon, and
over the ground. Mr.. Johnson took
his wagon home the next day, and it
happened that the barrel on which
paris green had been spilled was left
within reach of the livestock, and two
tof Mr.. Johnson's COWS licked the
barrel for, salt. They were poisoned
by the paris green and died short
time afterward. Mr.. Johnson claims
to know who the guilty parties were,

attorney. Unless the boys make a
settlement in the near future action

truck which was passing, and in so
doing stepped in front of another
heavy truck which was coming from
the opposite direction, which knock

what they need, bread and butter,
because they are hungry.
The Citizen Parties.
The "citizen parties" realize this,
and though there is general resent
ment of the not-too- gentle radical
tactics in the house, the government
steers course between, granting
just as much as it can of the radical
demands, not SO much for the party
leaders, but rather the people them
selves, and on the other hand keeping
its position solvent, if that is clear.
the government cannot now, and
probably ever can, grant what the
radicals would have, but it must make
concessions to keep peace.
This is the lineup of the parties,
and their platforms are the problems
Germany faces. To the credit of the
Citizen voalition," it must be said,
theirs is constructive, and the only
constructive platform proposed. The
others are impossible theorists.

INCREASES AT WINoNA

The Winona board of education has
adopted unanimously the recommen-
dation of the teachers committee
making general advance in salary in
all the school departments. The plan
of the board was to fix the maximum
salary fthe~ grade teachers at $1,000
which would in the course of time be
reached. The increase in salary among
the grade teachers was close to 500
a year in most cases. The increase in
the senior high school was not as
high in proportion to the general in
crease in the grades and the in
crease among the principals was about
the same as for the senior high.

Methodists Are to Add To EdIfce on
South Second Street.
At the regular monthly meeting OF
the official board of Centenary Meth
odist Episcopal church last evening
the members discussed the proposed
enlarging of the Sunday school part
of the church building. AS was stat
ed in The Free Press some time ago,
the charging of the building has been
under consideration for a number of
months.
Last night the board decided to
make arrangements to start active
work of investigation to see what can
be done. Rev. G.. A. yCahoon will later
appoint committee to take the mat
ter in charge.
If the plans materialize the front
of the church edifice will not be dis
turbed but the Sunday school part
will be enlarged, and it is possible
that the parsonage might be torn down
and rebuilt The lack of room for
the increasing Sunday school and
congregation has been keenly felt for
some time.
