Henry kampsen
Has Mental Lapse
Everything in His Life, Happening
Before Accident Several
Months Ago, Blank

Herald readers will recall that
Henry Kampsen who resides in the
south part of the city was severely
hurt several months ago at Ponti-
&C, Mich, when he was struck by
a street car. He remained uncon-
scious for some time after. the ac-
cident and when he came to- he did
not recognize Mrs. Kampsen.
The gentleman is at his home in
this city and has practically re-
gained his physical health, but
events which transpired prior to
the accident are a blank to him ;
The Herald interviewed Mr.. Ramp
sen this Thursday morning and
found him to be in a normal state
of mind as far as present surround
ings and events are concerned. He
stated that he could not recall a
thing in his life that existed prior
to his injury.
The physicians in charge of his
case are of the opinion that the
lapse of memory is caused largely
by a nervous condition and THAT
eventually he will grow out of it.
Mr.. Kampsen is about40 years
old, and has been resident of
Stearns county for many years.
Prior to moving to Sank Centre
several years ago he lived on a
farm southeast of the city.

Officers of Stearns County Fair
Attend Banner Presentation
Exercises Sunday

The banner given by the St.
Cloud Times, for the rural school
producing the champion speller of
Stearns county in the spelling con-
test in the Rural section of the
recent Stearns Fair, was awarded
Sunday to Miss Eleanor Korte, of
the St. Rosa rural school. This is
the second consecutive year that
St. Rosa has produced the cham
pion speller.
The presentation exercises were
held in the village hall of. st. Rosa.
The fair officers in attendance
were: j. B. Schoenhoff, president;
Ben Oete, vice president; G.. Hill

FREE DELIVERY TO-
START Wed, NOV. l6
Postmaster ]. A. Schoenhof.
Busily Engaged Working
Out the Details !
WILL BE TWO CARRIERS
Valerian Schoenhoff and
Carl Fischer Appointed
Public Should Help

Postmaster j. A. Schoenhoff is
spending much time and thought
on the establishment of the free
delivery of mail which will be es-
tablished in Sank Centre Nov. Is.
There is much detail work to
clean up and the public can ma
terially assist Mr.. Schoenhoff by
registering the names of individu-
al members of their families as
soon as possible. 1t will be a good
plan for Sank Centre folks writing
their friends to give them the
street number of the homes.
There is bound to be more or
less confusion for a time after the
system is inaugurated before the
delivery is working smoothly. This
is inevitable-the carriers will be
inexperienced and the employees
of the office will be handicapped.
AS stated in the Herald several,
weeks ago not all of the city will
be in the free delivery district at
the beginning. 1t is not compul-.
sorry for those living in the deliv-
cry district to use the free adeliv-I
cry; one can still retain his box
and call for the mail-but cannot
have both.
Beginning with the Inauguration
of free delivery all drop letters will
he 2 cents, instead of one cent as
at present. 81
The carriers will be Valerian
Schoenhoff and Carl Fischer. These
young men have successfully pass
ed both the mental and the physic-
al examinations. The salaries to
start will be $1,700 per year.
There will be two deliveries daily.
There will be ten boxes in different
sections of the city where mail
can be deposited. This mail will
be gathered twice each day.

Gas Explosion
Burns Young Man
Ted Rosdahl Has Painful Exper-
fence Jazzing Up Fire In Boys
Dug Out

Ted Rosdaihi, the 13 year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Olaf Rosdahl,
is in a quite serious condition suf-
fering from burns, which he sus-
tanned Sunday noon when he at
tempted to pour gasoline down the
stovepipe of heated stove.
The young lad in company with
a number of his companions had
built a dug-out in the high bank
opposite the Pickett home on south
Walnut street. They had small
heater installed in the cave and
were kindling a soft coal fire. The
fire was not burning fast enough
to satisfy the boys so young Ros-
dahl procured a gallon can con-
tanning gasoline. He mounted the
bank directly over the cave and
began pouring the inflamable con-
tents down the chimney while an
other inside the cave provoked the
flames by string up the Goals.
The flames mounted the chimney
igniting the gasoline and exploding
the can. Gasoline and flames scat
tered over the body of the lad.
He started to run for home but
was stopped by one of his COM
panions who threw him to earth
and began stripping him of the
burning clothing. His pull over
sweater which was burning just
below the chest was easily taken off
before the flames had burned
through to his shirt. His right
shoe and stocking and trouser leg
were gotten off before the fire
had reached the flesh, but in att
tempting to get his left shoe off the
lace became knotted and it was
impossible to get either the shoe,
stocking or the left trouser leg free
of his body. Verd Neal, who lives
near by, noticed the excitment and
rushed over to where the lad lay
engulfed in the flames. Cutting the
lace, he was able to pull the shoe
off. His stocking was ablaze from
the knee down and when it was
pulled off part of the flesh came
with it. After Mr.. Neal had sue
ceeded in stripping the burning
clothes from him, he carried him
to his home. A doctor was called
and his wounds were dressed. Ted's
left leg and right hand received
the bulk of the burns. At the pres
emit time he is resting as easily as
can be expected.
The youth is to be considered
fortunate for he narrowly escap-
ed being burned to death.

Affiliate to Compete With
Chain Store Aggression
Model Clothing and Shoe Store
Becomes Part of Allied Cloth
iers Consisting of 1874 Stores

The retail merchants of both ur-
ban and rural communities are
facing serious merchandising prob
lems to successfully meet the in
roads of the chain stores which are
spreading in every direction in ev-
cry line of business.
One hundred thirty-four of the
retail clothiers of the northwest
have banded themselves together
under the name of Allied Clothiers
to cope with the situation. With a
united front of 134 stores they are
in a position to dictate prices to
the manufacturer of dependable
mems wear with the result that the
costumer will be the beneficiary :.
The Chain Store is here to stay
and there will be more combina-
tions similar to the Allied Cloth
iers. Eventually the jobber will
pass out of existence as the COM
binations will buy direct.
The Model Clothing and Shoe
Store of Sank Centre has become
affiliated with the Allied Cloth
iers. Messrs. Hansen did not join
the organization until investigation
demonstrated to their satisfaction
that they would be in position to
save their customers money by so
doing. r. E. Hansen informs the
Herald that the Allied Stores plan
an aggressive advertising campaign
in the local newspapers and Her
aid readers will do well to watch
the weekly announcements and
suggestions of the Model Cloth
ing and Shoe Store.

Well Known Jurist Retires
From the District Bench
Judge w. L. Parsons Surprises
Friends by rendering Resigna-
tion to Gov. Christianson

Judge W.. L.. Parsons, of the
district courts of the Seventh Ju-
dicial district, of which Sank Cen
tire is part, rendered his resigna-
ton to Governor Christianson Sat
urday. The resignation becomes
effective on Wednesday of this
week, or as soon thereafter as his
successor can be appointed. Mr..
Parsons lives at Fergus Falls. The
other two judges of the district
are Judge Roser, St. Cloud, and
Judge Nye of Moorhead.
Judge Parsons resignation comes
as a great surprise to the people
of this district. The resignation
will occaiion general regret, as he
is everywhere recognized as one of
the ablest jurists in the state. He
has had the matter under consid-
Grafton for some time, but his
friends were not aware of it and
We're taken completely by sur
prise. He is enjoying excellent
health, and in company with Mrs.
Parsons, is planning to take an
eastern trip in the near future, to
spend a well earned vacation, and
on his return will have an office
in this city.
In discussing the resignation
Monday the Fergus Falls Journal
said editorially:
The resignation of Judge w.
l.. Parsons from the bench of the
Seventh Judicial district comes al-
most as shock to the people of
the district and will cause univers-
al regret. While Judge Parsons is
giving no special reason for his
resignation, it is well known that
the work of the judgeship in this
district is incessant and his long
service and patient, careful, pains
taking attention to the duties of
the office entitle him to a vaca-
ton if he chooses to take one.
Judge Parsons is everywhere
recognized as the ideal type of
judge man of unimpeachable
integrity, of fine judicial poise and
thoroughly learned in the law. His
resignation is a distinct loss to the
district.
Assembling on short notice to
consider possible successors, MEM
bers of the Ottertail County Bar
Association met Sunday evening,
and decided to recommend M. j.
Daily, of Perham, for the judgship.
1t is said that Attorney King,
of Little Falls, is candidate.

Bright Lights Cause Second
Car Crash Near St. Jo-
seph Saturday

Mrs. Nelson and her son were
injured about one mile this side of
st. Joseph on the pavement when
her husband turned out too far to
allow car coming from st. Cloud
to meet him on the highway. The
bright lights of the oncoming can
caused him to misjudge his posi-
ton, and his car struck the soft
shoulder, from the rains, and over
turned. Mr.. Nelson was uninjured

Local and Society News
on All Pages

For years the two center
pages of the Herald have been
devoted exclusively to short
local and society news.
While the publishers of the
Herald are confident that
eHery page of the paper is
thoroughly read the demand
by advertisers for location on
these pages has become so
great that change was i'm
perative. Beginning with this
issue the old system has been
broken UP. Under the new
arrangement local and society
news will be found on prac-
tically every page of the pa
per.
With the Inauguration of
free city delivery Nov. 16 the
Herald will be compelled to
have a stated time to go to
press in order to make Thurs
day afternoons delivery. In
the past we have, at great in
convenience, accommodated
advertisers by taking copy up
almost until the very last
form was closed, in many in
stances delaying publication.
With the inauguration Of the
free delivery it will be inn
perative to set the deadline
for advertising copy at 1:00
p. M, the Wednesday before
press day. Under the present
plan we do not know until
late Wednesday afternoon
whether the edition will con-
sist of eight or more pages.
With the plan of placing local
news on all pages there will
be no advantage in holding
back advertising copy certain
that late copy will land the
ad on the local or society
pages. The co-operation Of
the advertisers will be great
ly appreciated.

SUN. BIG DAY FOR
| ST. PAUL'S PARISH
Ri. Rev. Bishop JOS. Busch
Of St. Cloud Will Con-
firm Class of 100
WILL BLESS NEW BELLS
Several Visiting Priests Will
Assist-Parish Is In Fine
Condition

Sunday, Oct. 6, will be an &C
tive and important day in the life
and activity of ST. Pauls parish of
Sank Centre.
The Parish has long desired
suitable bells to complete set of
chimes for the handsome and
commodious church, corner Third
and Ash streets.
The present bell was built by
st. Louis manufacturers in 1885 :.
The question of securing three new
bells which would harmonic in
tone and size with the original
bell was taken up with them. On
checking over their records they
found the specifications of the old
bell and were commissioned ito
build three more to correspond.
The new bells weighing over 81
500 pounds were received by the
Parish sometime ago. They will
be blessed with appropriate SER
vices by Rt. Rev. Bishop Joseph F.
Busch, of the diocese of st. Cloud,
Sunday morning. The Bishop will
be assisted by Rev. Anthony ART,
pastor of st. Paul's, Rev. Maurus
Ferdinand, o. S. b., of Freeport,
and several priests from st. Johns
College. The bells will be hung in
the bellfry of the church the first
of next week.
At $50 a. M, Solemn High
Mas will be celebrated by Bishop
Busch assisted by Rev. FIR. Maurus
Ferdinand.
One hundred thirty children of
the Parish will be solemnly con-
firmed at 1880 by Bishop Busch.
This will be one of the largest
classes confirmed in the Diocese of
st. Cloud for some time. Rev.
Anthony ART, Rev. Marus Ferdi-
nand, of Freeport. Rev. Buscher,
of Spring Hill, and two priests
from st. Johns will assist the
Bishop at this service.
During the day the altar in the
Chapel of Sisters Home erected
during the past summer will be
Solemnly blessed by the Bishop.
Herald readers will recall that
st. Paul's parish expended about
$4,000 this year erecting a suit
able, and badly needed home for
the Sisters and remoieling and
undermining the Parochial school
building.
After years of tedious work Rev.
Anthony ART, the pastor of ST.
Paul's, has the satisfaction of
knowing that he has brought St.
Paul's TO a high standard of eff
fieiency and prosperity.
