OIL, GAS DEPOSITS
FOUND NEAR MORGAN

That the Minnesota river bottom
in this section may be the location Of
an oil and gas field is indicated by
discoveries made by engineers while
making soundings for bridge founda-
tions across the river ten miles east
of Morgan.
While testing for the bridge foun-
dations the engineers tapped gas.
The equivalent Of several barrels
came to the surface where flames
rose thirty feet when gas pocket was
struck.
Testing for the foundations has
been completed and no steps will be
taken at present at least to deter
mine how large the oil deposits may
be, it is said.
The tube from which the oil and
gas came has capped and will remain
so until further work at the bridge
is done, probably several weeks hence.
Surveys for a rerouting of Trunk
Route No. 20 and new bridge over
the Minnesota river were made a
year ago and some publicity given the
matter at the time. While no plans
have been announced of work on this
project for this summer, 1T is bellev-
ed that it was preliminary work in
that connection that led to the dis
covery, which will arouse some spec
ualtion as to whether there is "black
gold" in paying quantities in this
river bottom region.-Morgan Mes

LEAGUE
MEETS IN SPRINGFIELD

The sixth annual meeting of the
Tri-County Baseball League is sched-
uled to be held at Springfield, Mimi,
on Sunday, April /, 1928, at 200 o.
clock D. M, on which occasion appll-
cation for franchises will be consid-
cred, rules and bylaws adopted, dir
ectors and officers elected and such
business transacted as is essential TO
the reorganization of the circuit which
is one of the pioneer loops in the
state.
New Ulm, Morton, Morgan, Wa
basso, Wanda, Sanborn, Westbrook,
Comfrey and Springfield were rep
resented by league teams last sea-
son, with Sleepy Eye, Redwood Falls,
Seaforth and LETTERS having had clubs
in the circuit in former years. The
advantages of organized baseball
with restrictions as to engagement
of outside talent as compared to the
cost of maintaining a high-priced In
dependent club are apparent to all
familiar with the details and no diff
Guilty is anticipated in continuing the
operation of the league for the sixth
season of its existance.

her devotion as wife and mother; her
kindness to everybody, will long ling
err as a fragrant memory in the home
which death as now darkened.-Bel-

WINDOW FARMERS
ARE ASSESSED FINES

H. B. White, manager of the St
James branch of the Minnesota Co.
operative Egg and Poultry associa-
ton, was in Window last week and
met with a group of members in that
community, to close up the associa-
tons affairs. AS was the case in
several other counties, according to
the contract several farmers of the
Window vicinity will pay fines to the
company because of their violation
of the provision in the contract which
forbade them to sell their produce to
other concerns, with certain excep-
lions. Considering the nature of the
meeting it was rather in harmony
and most of the offending members
were ready to admit that they deserv-
ed the fine and were willing to pay
it.

BEAUTIFUL NALHALLA is
DESTROYED BY FLAMES

Nalhalla, the most famous dancing
pavilion in Minnesota, is no more.
Fire of unknown origin which start
ed about $50 a. m. last Saturday
completely destroyed this wonderful
pavilion.
The loss of this building is not only
a loss to Oscar Beal but it is dis
tinct loss to this section of the state.
Murray county suffers a very severe
loss 1t was widely known through
out the state and was the one real
show place in this end of the county
The ball room was a unique one; it
was decorated with stuffed animals
and birds worth hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars and fixtures were
the finest that could be purchased
anywhere.
The building was erected by Rud-
olph Beal of Omaha in 1919. Mr..
Beal had acquired fortune in the
grain exchange at Omaha and he
came to Murray county to build a
summer resort and it is to his credit
that we enjoyed the pavilion at VAL
halla. Three years ago the place
came into the possession of his son
Oscar who has maintained fine rep
utation for the place ever since. Many
important conventions and gatherings
were held under its hospitable roof
and its loss brings feeling of sad
ness to nearly every resident of the
county.-Lake Wilson Pilot.

Ohio Governors Wife
Is Real "Homebody"

Columbus, Ohio.-If there is any
thing to be done around the Vic Don
ahey home to make it a little more
honey" Mrs. A. V. Donahey does it
herself. She is essentially home
builder.
The Donaheys have ten children,
and when they moved into the Ohio
executive mansion some five years
ago there were several children yet
under the parental rooftree, requiring
the painstaking care that all growing
children do.
Tile governors lady raked grass, cut
weeds and sowed seed while the sun
beat down holly on their vacation site
last summer, and she reveled In it..
Then she and the governor decided to
build q new cottage on an adjoining
lot. SO they helped erect little stuc-
co home with an old-fashioned fire
place in the center Of it's generous liv-
ing room.
But when Mrs. Donahey returned to
Columbus she adapted herself readily
to the mansions background, receiv-
ing in the approved manner at mu-
sicales and the like.

Boat Tied to Wharf for
5000 Years Discovered

Berlin.-A boat, tied to it's landing
wharf for 5000 years, has been found
buried under six feet of peat in an
ancient bog in upper Suabia, accord
ing to DR.. Oscar Paret, Stuttgart
archeologist. 1t is a dugout canoe
about fifteen feet long, followed out
of the trunk of giant oak. The sides,
Doctor Paret says, were shaved down
to surprising thinness. Several pad
dies were found in 1t. A number of
earthen vessels and bronze objects
found in the turf around it date the
boat as of the Bronze age, about 1000
B. c., contemporary with the siege of
Troy and the reign of Solomon in
Jerusalem.
The boat was found at the end of
one of three long wharves, which
ran back to the vicinity of the re-
mains of number of houses. Appar-
emily there was once village on the
edge of the bog, on solid ground,
separated from the open water of the
lake by wide, marshy margin which
could be crossed only by these cause
ways. When the village site was
abandoned, the vegetation in the bog
and the lake continued TO grow until
the lake disappeared and the pilng
up of the dead leaves and stems
buried all the works of the ancient
men who lived there and used to 60
| fishing in their dugout canoes.

The inside story of the million-dol-

follows: A big deal was on, but, in
the language of one Of the partic-

little coy" Some one got the bright
check TO him, which, by the way, he
received clear across the Atlantic be-
fore the ink was hardly dry on 1t In
New York.
Once the check was placed In the
mans hand, where he could see and
finger 1t, he lost no time in seeing IL
he really could cash 1t. He could and

Why do so many, many babies of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet In the little stomach. And it's
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even distaste-
full dose of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletchers Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at
first sign of collie; or constipation; or
dlarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real sickness, call the doc
tor, always. At other times, few
drops Of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletcher's.
Other preparations may be just as
pure, just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletchers Castoria Is
worth it's weight In gold

Another Attempt Only
Fair tn ShakesDeor<

The late John Drew hated bad act
ing. He would often express this hate
in witty and cruel manner.
An English actor played Hamlet ono
night in New York and was after
wards the guest Of honor at the Play
ers' club. He sought out Drew there
and said:
well, how did you like my Ham,
lett"
do you want the truth?" said Drew.
"Yes."
1T was awful"
"I'm afraid you're right" said the
Englishmun 81 felt that way while
| was playing. III never attempt
Hamlet again."
ION, but you must" Drew said
earnestly. "Your performance tonight,
you see, has made Shakespeare turn In
his grave. Well, you can't leave him
like that, lying face downward, can
you? You must play Hamlet just once
more tAen he'll turn over and be
comfortable again."

RICH OSAGES KEEP
OLD FUNERAL RITES
Traditional Customs Have Been
Little Changed.

Pawhuska, Okla.-While riches from
oil have caused the Usage Indians to
adopt many of the ways Of white men,
wealth has had little effect on the
tribes strange burial ceremony.
Except for the use of an expensive
coffin, the funeral of an Usage is the
same as that of his ancestors many
generations ago. Feasting as we'll as
mourning Is part of the rite. After
tribeman's death, relatives and
friends remain for several days with
the body in the Indian lodge. They
have no chairs or beds, but sit or
sleep on the wooden floor. The custom
permits them to leave quietly and to
stay away an hour or two. The coffin
is in the center of the room, and paid
mourners chant weird tunes In a cor
ner.
When the burial day arrives, the
body is placed in sitting posture and
painter draws lines on the face, each
line representing an outstanding benev-
client deed. The Indians file by the
corpse, and whisper in the dead mans
ear the communications they want de-
livered to relatives who preceded him
to the happy hunting ground.
The body is taken to the grave, and
after the burial the funeral party re-
turns to the home Of the deceased for
a feast. Often several beeves are
slaughtered for this feast, and many
of the white mans best foods also are
served. All the guests are expected to
eat heartily. The entire tribe and it's
white friends are invited. The estate
of the deceased pays for the feast.

Zoo Plans to Group
Animals by Geography

Berlin.-Animals in captivity are to
be given new deal at Munich, where
the first geographical zoo" is about
to be constructed.
The custom of exhibiting the vari-
Gus species Of wild and domestic ami
mails according to types of families
will be disregarded. Bengal, African
and Manchurian lions will not occupy
cages next to one another. Instead,
African elephants zebras and other
fauna from the same continent will
have their quarters in the same sec
ton of the zoo. Wherever they are
not a type that seeks to devour or
destroy the other, they will even be
permitted to roam about within the
same Enclosure.
The directors Of the Munich ZOO be-
lieve that this is a much more hui
name way of dealing with beasts in
captivity. Cages will be abolished as
far as possible. 1t Is hoped that
breeding In captivity will be encour-
aged by this system.
