F6rmer Well Known Barkley Township Farmer Dies Suddenly at His Home Near Alexandria, Minn. William W. Burns, a well known former resident of Barkley township, died this Tuesday morning, at Alexandria, Minn., where he has lived since moving from Jasper county about four years ago. Two telegrams were received here. One was addressed to Miss Elizabeth Spaulding, the Western Union manager, who was a close friend of the Burns family and who had received a card from Mrs. Burns only a few days ago. It stated that he died this morning and that the funeral would be held here Friday. The other telegram was to Undertaker Wright and stated that the body would reach here Friday on the 1:59 train and that the funeral would take place at the Christian church that afternoon. Burial will probably be made in the Burns cemetery in Barkley township. The cause of his death is unknown. Relatives here of Mrs. Burns did not know that he had been ill. He was about 55 years of age.

Divorce Granted to Mrs. Jessen In Circuit Court last Saturday,

While the jury was looking over the Lawler land last Saturday morning. Judge Hanley heard the complaint of Mrs. Jennie S. Jessen for a divorce from John H. Jessen. The defendant was not present and was not represented. He had acknowledged service by filing a written answer denying the allegations of the plaintiff in her complaint. The judge granted the divorce, the grounds being abandonment and failure to provide. A part of the complaint asking the court to give to Mrs. Jessen sole ownership of the residence property which has been held in their joint names, was noL-acted upon. The complaint, stated that the property was bought by money furnished by the plaintiff, although the title vested in she and her divorced husband. It is understood Jessen is in Fort Worth, Texas.

BILL GOOSEQUILL’S REMINISCENCES OF THE CIVIL WAR

Published for the First Time by The Bensselaer Republican. All Rights. Reserved. [lnstallments occasionally when Bill feels fltten.J

Here is Bill As he appeared after the battle oi Bull Run.

Resemblance is striking except that a bullet hole in the back of my jacket is not visible to the naked eye. If the bullet hole had been visible, I would not have been able to pose for the picture nor to have written this narrative. I remember how strongly the wind was blowing in my face that day. I have never known it to blow such a gale since. They call it Bulls Run, but that is a mistake. It was Bill’s Run. I don’t .know how m; comrades performed, I was thinking of my mother and her great love for me. This picture shows me more handsome than you may think I ever could have been. I was healthy then and vigorous and a footracer, as witnesseth the above. I am almost 50 years older now and I believe I am better looking than when I sat for that picture. I will have another one taken some day, when the photographer has lots of time, for I am very particular and if you want one, I -want you to have me just as I am. More is due you when I have r chance to catch my breath. I am as short of wind now as I was that day at Bull Run.

ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Call and see our nice northern-, grown sand potatoes, in two and onehalf bushel sacks, for 50c a bushel by the sack. JOHN EGER. IH. F. Parker and Cleve Eger went to the Kankakee river this morning to hunt ducks. They will be absent until the last of the week. Harry has not failed to be on a duck hunt on St. Patrick’s day for several years and he invariably gets his full share of birds. We want to figure with you on youi Spring Fencing bill. Electric Welded is the best and our prices are the lowest. ’’’ROWLES & PARKER. Pullins Bros., Jasper county’s pioneer fine poultrymen, are today shipping five fine bronze turkeys to J. M. Muirhead, Gentleman’s Seat, Pittsworth, Queensland, Australia. The port of export will be Vancouver, British Columbia. The birds will b< enroute for a considerable time and have been provided with suitable feed and watering troughs and a bag of feed was strapped to the large cage in which they were shipped. The cage was divided into five compartments, each turkey being kept by himself. It is understood the Pullins Bros, got 8100 for the five birds. For this week only, our large package of oatmeal, without a china dish, only 17c. Our regular 25c package, with a china dish, 20c. JOHN EGER. Chas. Morlan did not feel very much impressed with the homesteading prospects in Montana, especially for a man with a good sized family. He thought that in five years proving up a claim involved pretty severe hardships and required quite a little capital and that at the same time his children would be denied first-class school advantages. He looked- over the country at Williston and Minot, N. Dak., but came to no conclusion. His brother Frank accepted employment at Williston, getting 35 cents an hour as a carpenter. Near Minot several farmers were discing and harrowing fall plowed ground and there was not a bit of snow on the ground when he left there. My coats to all suits are all hand tailored thrubut and there is never any break down to them, if you wear them for 10 years. Also guaranteed never to fade. G. EARL DUVALL.

Bill Goosequill.

Rensselaer is evidently not the only town where school boys get into bad practices. Sunday night thirteen boys were arrested at Monticello charged with having entered various vacant store rooms and houses and carried on bad practices. They would first take possession of one room and then another, vacating each after the officers had frightened them away. They used the residence of R. J. Million as a rendezvous during the temporary absence of the occupant and did sever-, al dollars worth of damage. Sunday night thirteen were apprehended in an old house east of the dam, between the river and the race. The sheriff and marshal raided the room and put the "boys under arrest I want to figure with you on your spring suit or top coat and I will show you where I can save you from $3.00 to $5.00 a suit. Pure wool serges, fancy gray worsted and cassimeres, SIO.OO, $12.00 and $15.00 a suit.. C. EARL DUVALL. Johnny Hanks, our last year’s baseball pitcher, who has been attending St. Ignatius academy in Chicago, has quit school and great disappointment is felt in the athletic circles of the school, for John’s strong left arm had been counted on to make St. Ignatius the small college baseball champions. It is not known what Hanks intends to do, but it is probable that he will get into some good semi-pro team, with a view to working himself into major league company, which seems within his reach. Hanks was only 17 years of age last year and his performance was little short of remarkable. He has speed, good judgment, a careful study of his batters and is himself a great sticker and base runner. St. Ignatius is scheduled to play St. Joseph’s, in Chicago, on May 12th, and in Rensselaer on June 2nd. If you want a swell tailormade suit or top coat, be sure and see my line, as I carry the best and largest line in the county. 2,500 or 3,000 yard and a quarter length samples to pick from. All at reasonable prices. C. EARL DUVALL. •

AGREE ON MONUMENT AND PROMISE CONTINUED AID.

Beautiful Model of Steps, Pedestal and Exedra Exhibited by Sculptress Saturday Night. . At the home of Mrs. Mary E. Thompson Saturday night, the plaster cast of the soldiers’ monument steps, base and exedra was shown to members of the commercial club, Mayor Meyers and members of the city council and Mrs. Chas. A. Roberts, who has been assisting Mrs. Thompson in raising money. The model was presented by Miss Washburn the sculptress. It was built on a scale of 1 inch tq 1 foot. The lower part of the base was 19 inches square, corresponding to 19 feei square in the completed monument. Four steps lead up from the front and two sides to the main pedestal, which consists of two large stones on which the bronze figure of General Milroy will rest. At the back is the exedra or seat, facing the monument and being 19 feet in width. The whole presented a very striking appearance and met the approval of all who saw it. W. H. Mackey, the marble worker, was present, and made an estimate of 8500 exclusive of foundation for erecting the steps, base and seat. His figure was SSOO and it includes cutting the names on the pedestal of 100 soldiers. Additional names will cost more. It is reported that $1,029 had so far been pledged. The total cost will probably be SI,BOO. Mrs. Thompson guaranteed the payment in full and those present agreed to do all in their power to help raise the money. The monument will be unveiled on Juljj 4th. The support of all is asked to raise the required amount.

Dad Got It as He Could; Bub Wants It all at Once.

Poor people are laying by less and less money each year. They say that their expenses are greater; that they can’t afford to put so much money in the bank. But I believe it’s this way: Thirty years ago a young couple were married. They had a celebration some six months later because they had scraped together enough to buy a carpet to put down on their front room floor. A few months ago, this couple’s son was married. He was but little better off than his father had been, but there was no humble life for him and his bride. They had to start out with a completely furnished flat and begin with expenses that would have staggered the old man. And there, I think, is the answer for the present high cost of living agitation. It is not so much the high cost of living as the cost of high living. Poor people simply won’t live as their parents did. Each generation wants more luxury, more style.—Mulry.
