 First word of the tragedy was received when Sgt. Geyer of the Gable Office, a member of the party which left Seward Monday for the river phoned Captain Woolverton from Lawing. Captain Woolverton instructed the Ser geant to return and continue a relentless search for Miller or his body
 Lieutenant Hunsicker, Q. M. C., who left the city yesterday with friends for a fishing ex- petition on the river, has also been instructed by Captain Wool verton, via Lawing, to remain in the field until every hope of find ing the young man or his body has proven fruitless.
 AS Miller fell into the river he was heard to give a loud yell but his plunge into the waters was the last glimpse ob- aimed Every hope is expressed that with the many professional guides living in that area, his body, at least, will be found.
 MT. Miller has been one of the most popular and best liked of the many fine members of the Signal Corps and was exceed ingly active in athletics, playing both basketball and baseball.
 Captain Woolverton said Mil Ter was one of the most highly thought of members on the staff and had a brilliant future. From assistant finance man, under Sgt. Probasco, who has since left, Mr. Miller absorbed both positions and the manner in which he took over the double duties has been a con- etant source of wonder to his Su- oerior officers.
 Mrs. Miller and their small son, about three years old, were with the party on the river; a deeply felt sympathy is extended to her by the entire community

$50 Gallons Of Liquor
Dumped Into Sewer
Douglas County Officials Dispose
of Minnesota Is and Other
Well Known Brands

$50 gallons of liquor went into
the sewer system of this city from
the county Jail Tuesday afternoon.
This represented the amount con-
fiscated by the sheriff and his dep
uties since last fall. County at
torney Thornton, Sheriff Lundeen
and his deputies, Porter and
Weatherhead, spent a strenuous
half hour or more tapping kegs
and casks and uncorking bottles.
The liquor comprised generously
quantities of Minnesota Is, plain
moonshine, beer and some concoc-
lions which were just alcohol add
ed to water.
Judging by the fumes which
came from the room where the Ii
quor was poured into the sewer it
must have been powerful stuff.
The sheriff invited the prison
ers, practically all of whom were
serving sentences for violating the
liquor laws, in to see the consign
ment of the fire water start on its
journey to the. new, modern dis
posal plant of this city.
The writer didn't know exactly
what prompted this invitation.
Maybe, the sheriff thought that the
prisoners might enjoy the pungent
odor of the moonshine, or that it
might convince the law violators
that it was more or less vain to
engage in handling liquor in this
county Alexandria Citizen News.

Picnic at Glenwood
Knights Templar Sponsoring Out
ing Which Should Prove Very
Enjoyable

Thursday of next week Masons
and their families will gather at
Glenwood for the annual picnic
sponsored by the Park Region
knights Templar Association.
In former years these outings
have been limited to knights Tenn
plar and their families, but at last
years meeting it was voted to in
vite all Masons and their families
to take part. The picknickers will
be from as far east as ST. Cloud,
as far west and north as Wadena
and Brainerd
w. H. Freeman, st. Cloud, is
president of the organization. The
officers have arranged a very in
viting program of sports. The pick
nickers will bring their own food
but ice cream, lemonade, coffee,
cream and sugar will be furnished.
There will be suitable prizes. for the
various events.
The park at Glenwood on the
shore of Lake Minnewaska, is an
ideal spot for gathering of this
sort. Highways are in excellent
condition and the place for the
picnic is SO handy to Sank Centre
that large delegation should at
tend.

Steeple Jacks Do
Their Stuff in City
Citizens Watch Climbers Paint
Flag Poles and Steeple of Epis-
cOpaI Church Last Week

Two steeple jacks, from Wiscon-
sin, were in the city last week, and
while here landed several jobs of
high painting work. The first of
these was the steeple of the Epis-
copal Church on which they gilded
the cross and painted the remand.
er a palgfblue. The wood work on
the lower part of the church is be-
ing done by Mr.. Davis.
Citizens, however, got their real
thrill when one of the Steeple
Jacks shimmied up the flag pole at
the school grounds and painted it.
He worked his way up the pole
with a contraption made of rope,
with seat and places for his feet.
The ropes were hitched around the
pole and in arising from his swing
like seat the ropes could be loosen
ed and moved up. The same held
true of the foot rests. 1t was a
rather slow job to reach the top
and observers noticed that his de-
scent, while painting the staff, took
no longer than it did to climb up.
They also painted the. flag pole
at the Library in similar man
ner.

Four patients are receiving care

first one entering July 4th.
Mrs. Long did not intend to open
the hospital until July Is, but the
demand for service was so great
that it was necessary to open
sooner.
A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Al Nathe at the hospital July 4th,
this being the first case entered.
The other patients are: Mrs.
VIM. Schloegel, who is receiving
medical treatment; Roberta Veeder

The new quarters are well ar
ranged and with the added i'm
provements have made the Sprague
residence into modern and up-to-
date hospital.

local men, who are members of the

Butter Receipts Heavy:
Chicago Price Unchanged
Egg Quotations Higher Than Last
Week-Live Poultry Shipments
Light; Quality Poor

Pasture conditions generally
have been very favorable to milk
production. Receipts of butter on
the principal eastern consuming
markets were somewhat ahead of
last week. The New York market
declined rapidly early in the week,
but when prices reached new low
levels for the season, trading pick
ed up sharply. This was partly
due to speculative demand and
partly to more attractive prices.
The Chicago butter market on
80 Score Standards is Al cents, un-
changed from last week. The New
York butter market on 90 Score
Extras is AZ cents, decline of u
cent from a week ago.
Egg receipts the past week have
shown no increase over last year.
Reports indicate lighter supplies
and a more rapid decrease in pro-
duction. The consuming demand
has shown a good increase and
market is firm.
Chicago egg market on Firsts is
quoted at 301a to 81 cents, an adj
vance of 2 cents over a week ago.
New York Firsts are 31A to 81 u
cents, an advance of u to cent
over week ago.
Live fowl receipts have not been
any more than enough to go
around and with a good demand,
receipts clean up quickly with no
difficulty experienced in securing
top quotations. Broilers now make
up about 80 per cent of the re-
ceipts in cars. The market is
largely quality proposition with
very little strictly fancy stock COM
ing in. The average run has. been
hard to clear and in many cases,
chickens have been forced out with
fowl.
Dressed fowl receipts are mod
crate and demand is fairly active.
The market is about steady. The
Chicago live poultry market is
quoted as follows: Leghorn fowl Is

horn broilers % cents, light weights
