Mr.. Schmitt was q prominent
young farmer residing near Cold
Spring. He Is survived by his wife
and two small children.
It is understood Mr.. Schmitt was
towing his fish house on a trailer.
He was seen by other fishermen. A
few moments later they were nor
rified to discover that the car, trail
err and fish house had disappeared
from view.
There were scratches on the ice
several feet in front of the open
space covered by scum of ice, in
dicating that Mr.. Schmitt had dis
covered his predicament too late to
stop his car. When his body was
recovered about midnight Monday
Mr.. Schmitt was found to be il
the back seat Of his car with a
blanket wrapped about his head.
The tragedies recorded should
serve as a severe warning to those
who are inclined to go on the Ice

Mr.. Schmitt was buried from st.

Production Of Pigs
Increases In Year
Recently Completed Department Of
Agriculture Survey Shows 1876
More Than In 1880

An increase Of 1876 per cent in
the size of the fall pig crop of 1881
over that of 1890 for Minnesota is
shown by the December 1881 Pig
Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture made in
connection with the Post Office De-
partment through it's rural mail
carriers. The report for Minneso-
ia further indicates that 1874 per
cent more sows narrowed in the
fall of 1881 than one year ago. The
average number Of pigs saved per
litter in the fall of 131 was so which
is slightly more than the reported
average size Of So for the fall of
1880.
This same report indicates that
there will be only 95 per cent as
many sows bred or to be bred for
spring farrow In 1892 as reported
one year ago. When allowance is
made for the spread between the
December breeding indications and
farrowings reported the following
June it is quite probable that there
will be a greater decrease than 5
per cent In Minnesota.
For the United States the fall pig
crop was 1877 per cent greater than

Neither Dunning nor the patrol

tions of the bandits. Four, they
said, wore caps and two wore light
hats. All were well dressed, they
said.
The bandits We're careful to keep
their captives' backs toward them,
the victims said. They were armed
with four sawedoff shotguns and
each carried a pistol. They also
took the Whitney pistol and about
$50 in cash from him.
No shots were fired.
The victim of four unknown as
sailants, Robert Redmond, 50-year-
old New Brighton farmer, last night
was slugged as he attempted to
give the strangers-aid.
The four, described as young men
drove up to Redmond's farm on
highway No. 3, one-half mile from
New Brighton, and asked for water
for their car. As he attempted to
tell them where water could be OBJ
tanned one of the quartet stepped
up and struck him on the head with
a blunt object he carried.
Redmond was knocked to the
ground and was struck a second
time as he regained his feet. Evad-
ing his attacker, he ran to a neigh
boring farm for aid, and the men
drove off. He was unable to fur
nish any motive for the attack.

The projects totaled 210 miles and

prices on paving and other road
work were lower in 1881 than in
any years since the state began

Babcock said Indications are that
1881 was the low spot in the depres-
sion, and we expected to pay slight
ly higher prices in 1892, but bids on
nearly all Of the projects were con-
siderably higher than our estimates
so it was decided to reject all bids"
Rejection of the bids will not de-
lay any of the work, since paving

there will be ample time to read

Christmas Seal Sales Are
Falling Below Last Year
Need Will Be Great As There Is
Threatened Increase of the 81
..--- White Plague ..sA

Are you in William Wander
bits class?
You are If you noticed that the
stagecoach driver on the. 1881
Christmas Seal was seated on the
wrong side Of the coach. AS far
as is known, William Vanderbilt,
who still occasionally drives his
own stagecoach, relic of the ear
ly day, is the only one of the
millions of buyers and users of
Christmas Seals who noticed the
error. He did this when asked to
rig up his outfit to resemble the
Christmas Seal Coach for a motion
picture talkie.
'Tt might amuse you to learn"
he said to the committee, noting
the error that had escaped the
artist and all who passed on the
seal, "the driver is driving on the
wrong side"
1t was then too late to change
the seal, so it is that millions of
stage coaches this year had the
left side driver.
But. it is not too late to help
finance the 1882 fight against
tuberculosis, the local committee
urges. "The drive against tuber-
culosis must be made from all
sides this year, in order to-. bold
back the threatened increase of
tuberculosis. and funds are falling
short of the required amount. 1t
is strongly urged that those who
have not contributed give some
thing, if it is only one cent, and
that those who have bought
Christmas Seals, make an addi-
tional gift to make up for those
unable to give. Reports on the
seal sale must be made January
9Th. Contributions in any amount
will be welcome"
