ROMANCE EVEN
IN MODERN RAILROADING

How's this for a motion picture
scenario? A clerk for a southwest
ern railroad was sitting peacefully at
his work not long ago when a tor
nado struck the town and began to
play havoc with the buildinks. The
clerk promptly extinguished all the
kerosene lamps in the office to avert
the possibility of fire. Then with
the passing of the tornado, he unsuc-
cessfully tried to get in touch with
the train dispatcher. The wires were
down. Dashing one way along the
track, he tagged a passenger train
with a flashlight to prevent it from
being wrecked by distractions on the
rails. No sooner was that done than
he had to race back up the track to
flag a freight from the other direc-
ton. Then he returned to his work.

OLIVIA ATTORNEYS

WIN Blu Law Dull
A law suit involving more than
quarter of a million dollars was won
in Supreme Court last week by Mes
srs. Freeman & Smith of Olivia. The
case, entitled Blue Earth County,
plaintiff, VS.. Bisballe Construction
Company and Western Surety Co., de-
PENDANTS, was commenced about three
years ago, during which time two ap-
peals were taken to the Supreme
Court, once on decision denying a
change of venue and the second time
on a demurrer.
The action was brought by the
county of Blue Earth to recover dam
ages for an alleged faulty construc-
ton of a county ditch, the amount OF
the alleged damages being equal to
the amount paid for constructing the
ditch. Freeman & Smith appeared
for the defendants and fought the
case from several angles, carrying 1t
twice to Supreme Court, and finally
securing a decision for the defend
ants that puts an end to the litigation:
It became a noted case because OF
the questions of law involved and also
because of the battle waged by the
opposing counsel. The Olivia attor-
neys are to be congratulated on their
victory.-Olivia Times.

NEW TRIAL DENIED
TO FRED EIDSVOLD

At hearing before Judge l. M. Oh
sen on March 18th, the application OF
Fred Eidsvold, now of Hammond, Ind,
a former official of the defunct Min
nesota Central Creameries, Inc, OF
New Ulm, for new trial, was denied
by the court. 1t will be remembered
that, at the December term Of court,
last year, Eidsvold was convicted OF
making a false financial statement
in connection with the affairs of the
bankrupt concern, following his trial
on a criminal indictment, and sent
enced to serve not more than two
years in states prison at Saltwater.
An appeal to the supreme court is
quite likely.-Springfield Advance

MINNESOTA IN TENTH PLACE

MINNESOTA IN TENTH PLACE
Minnesota is in tenth place among
forty-seven states in the matter of
highway improvements planned for
1927, according to report on con-
struction just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Texas, Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, and North Da-
kota, in the order named, lead Mime
sofa in the proposed mileage of high
ways to be improved.
The above reference is, of course,
only to state highways, and does not
apply to county or lessed subdivisions.
But while Minnesota is tenth in to-
tai mileage to be improved, it is in
nineteenth place in the number of
miles it is proposed to pave, as nine
states other than those named above
are to do more paving this year than
is Minnesota.
The improvements in Minnesota
according to the authority quoted
will be 400 miles of earth roads, 800
miles of gravel and 127 miles of paw
ing. Illinois will pave 1,036 miles
New York 1,0O6 miles, and in neither
state will there be any gravel sur
facing. Wisconsin is to pave 374
miles and Iowa 263.
Unless the people of Minnesots
soon wake up to the value of Com
mission Babcock's recommendations
and give him the support to which his
splendid and untiring efforts entitit
him, Minnesota will soon be among
the laggers instead of the leaders In
highway improvements. = Luvernt

TIE ISsUE-PATRIOTISM

TIE ISSUE-PATRIOTIS
Mrs. Kathleen Norris, the novelist.
who stands for everything that is
highest, and cleanest in American
literature, says:
ssYou and like to think that il
we had lived in the long ago days
when George Washington was only
tired and discouraged rebel with q
price upon his head, we would have
been among the few who shared with
him his great dream of new world
where the government of the people
would be by the people
"And we like to remember that in
1917 and 1918, no sacrifice was too
great, no labor too hard, no prayers
too earnest to prove to God and To
the world that American men and
women believe in, and love, America
do you know that graver and
more significant crisis than any OF
these is facing American ideals to-
day? Ask yourself what is meanss
when traitors in our midst are seeking
to undermine the Constitution and are
trying to make ridiculous the great
est flag in the world-the flag that
stands for our motto that liberty is
respect for law"
"Women are organizing to solidi-
| fy the women's enforcement vote In
the primaries and general elections
It is not candidate which is uniting
the women voters. It is double is
sue; the women see that they must
work to rid the country of the evil
which has been fastened upon il
through drink and they see that they
must enforce respect and obedience
for one alw to make the rest of the
laws secure.
/ eve want you-you women who
love your state and your country.
You can serve that country now as
truly as did any heroine of other days.
We hope that through our united eff
!. forts-for God, and home, and every
land-the womanhood of America
!, may stand up and>be counted-togeth-
er-as well as one by one."

A MONKEY SUICIDE

Jocko and Mable, two Java mon
keys, became the property of George
E. Engesser and his circus year
ago, at st. Peter. They were an un-
usually devoted couple and they thriv-
ed handsomely on circus life. So de-
voted were they, that neither would
associate with the other monkeys, be-
ing content with each others contin-
ual company, fine example for many
married couples of the so-called SUI
perior species. To this happy couple,
a baby monkey was born last October
while the circus was in Iowa, and 1T
looked just like its father. The de-
voted couple were beside themselves
with joy and they showered every at
lection on the little one. The cold
rainy weather in Iowa proved too
much for the baby, and he took sick.
The parents cuddled and amused him
and grieved over his plaintive cries.
Finally the little fellow died. That
was the first tragedy. The parents
became morose and quiet. No more
did they frolic about their cage. They
had no taste for food and ate but lit
tie. They refused to exercise, spend
ing days at a time in each others
arms, consoling one another. This
profound sorrow soon told on the
mother, and she withered away and
died despite every attempt made to
save her life by Mr.. Engesser and
the shows veterinarian. That hap
pened about two months ago. Since
then, the bereaved husband has been
more morose than ever. Mr.. Enges-
ser secured a nice young lady mon.
key as a companion for the downcast
Jocks, but he refused her company
His sorrow was so apparent, that he
was watched continuously and every
effort was made to cheer him up
Finally, his owner decided to take hin
out of his cage and tether him on
long chain, giving him more room tt
romp around. This did not help mat
, tiers any. The climax came one morn
ing last week. The caretaker arrived
at the monkey room and found Jockt
had hung himself. He had crawle'
over the monkey cage so that he coult
drop off and commit the rash act
There he was, dead as door nail
with every opportunity to climb bacl
up on the wire of the cage had n
wished. Every indication points t
deliberate suicide. Thus ended fam
ily tragedy that is not unlike mani,
human occurrence.-St. Peter Herald

sCHUMAN-HEINK

WILL RETIRE SOON
Madame Ernestine Schuman-Heink,
grand old lady of the opera, after
fifty years on the stage, finally has
come to the admission that retire
ment is not far distant. But for fix
ing a date for farewell appearance,
she only says, II think of it often
now"
Recalling her triumphs as sing
er, which included appearances be-
fore such almost forgotten figures as
Queen Victoria, she discusses retire
ment with characteristic mixture
of pathos and humor, in an interview
published in Good Housekeeping mag
azine for April.
"To finish a career is the saddest
thing in the world" she says. "Some-
times, even when am standing on the
stage, I think, Well, maybe this will
be the last time.'"
"It is mighty hard to retire with a
good grace and not overdo, or try to
be young, and to go on when the day
| is really over"
~ always think that it is harder for
a woman than man-first of all, be-
cause men are the lords of creation
anyway, and nobody seems to mind
few wrinkles or a few gray hairs
in them. But the poor woman must
always try to keep her youth at any
cost, and that is very hard, on or of
the stage. Paint and powder and al
