Games were played and the young folks put in a most enjoyable afternoon.

Fletcher is having rather a severe siege of illness. Twice within two months is has been found necessary to operate on her for appendicitis, and the ordeal has been rather severe. We are pleased to announce that she is rapidly regaining her strength and will soon be fully recovered. Word was received here to the effect that John Nelson, who re- cently left for the west in company with E. L. Buck, will return for his family about June 4, and they will leave to make their future home in the west. It is understood Mr. Nelson made a trade while away, ons of the village having moved py which the Bass Brook hotel here is transferred to California parties, while a farm in that state becomes the property of Mr. Nelson. All the classes at the Cohasset school have been disbanded for the season with the exception of that of Prof. Baldwin, which will con- tinue a short time.

TO PROBE DISASTER AT LONG BEACH Thirty-six Killed When Audito- rium Collapses, Long Beach, Cal., May 27.—With the total dead as the result of the municipal auditorium collapse now at thirty-six, the city and county authori- ties made final preparations for the inquest inquiry into the tragedy. The district attorney also expects to demand a grand jury investigation in order to fix the criminal responsi- bility, if any, although his demand will probably not be made until after the coroner’s inquest is well under way. It is reported that a number of the injured are in a critical condition and may die, swelling the list of dead still more. Of the thirty-six corpses now lying in morgues and undertak- ing establishments here only one is that of a man. All the others are women, girls or little boys, most of the victims being aged women. The grand jury investigation was formally demanded in a petition sub- mitted to the district attorney by | British or Canadian residents of Long Beach, who had friends or relatives killed in the crash. Anticipating such an investigation, the prosecutor has already detailed officers to observe the ruins with a view of discovering what caused the collapse. It is estimated that about 100 per- sons were more or less seriously in- jured. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES South St. Paul Live Stock.

BOOST FOR COHASSET Minor Happenings of the Week Throughout Minnesota, With a Holstein cow that gives her weight in milk and butter fat in thir- teen days and a prize hen that has laid eggs seven times her weight in one season, the state agricultural college farm stock has established a new rec- ord for food producing animals in the Northwest. Tests made at the col- lege farm by the dairy department the last month show that one cow pro- duced 2,002 pounds of milk and 82.45 pounds of butter fat in three weeks. The hen during the season laid 220 eggs, weighing 28.73 pounds, or near- ly seven times her weight. The bureau of soils of the depart- ment of agriculture will resume the soil survey of Goodhue county this spring to determine the different types of soil in the county and what crops they are fitted for.

The bureau has made complete soil surveys in Blue Earth and Rice counties and partial surveys in Carl- jton, Lyon, Polk and St. Louis coun- ' ties. | The last log drive on the St. Croix river passed Nevers’ dam near Still- water last week. Thus is seen the passing of an industry which has been pre-eminent in that part of the state nearly three-quarters of a century. The logging industry began in 1845. Nevers’'dam was built about 1855. The annual output of logs has ranged from 40,000,000 feet to 450,000,000 feet ,@ year since 1845, ; The supreme court has decided the legislative act of 1907 ‘creating the state tax commission and defining its powers as constitutional. “The right of the legislature to delegate admin- istrative authority is too settled to be questioned,” says the opinion of Jus- tice Phillip E. Brown in the case of the State against the Minnesota and Ontario Power company. If a man is killed in a saloon fight i when the place is open after hours his | family can recover on the saloon keep- jer’s bond to the state. This was de- cided by the supreme court in the case of Matilda Koski, respondent, against Mary Pakkala, administratrix of the lestate of Alex Pakkala and the Bank- ‘ers’ Surety company. Adolph Falbisaner of St. Paul was announced by Fred B. Lynch, na- tional committeeman, as President Wilson’s appointee to head the Ger- man department of the Democratic publicity bureau at Washington. CRIMES AND MISHAPS.

Thrown out of an automobile when a light engine on the Great Northern ;erashed into the car near Crookston Glen Carnegie was fatally injured and soon afterward died. Arthur Rost was {seriously hurt. The engine was re- ‘turning from Winnipeg, running just ‘ahead of the Winnipeg-St. Paul fiyer. Farmers who had organized a , searching party found the lifeless body of Eimer Sater, twenty-six years old, dangling from a tree back of his home near Centerville. Melancholia, developing from a siege of ill health, is believed to have led to the appar- ent suicide. J. Rufus Wallingford’s double walk- ed into St. Paul last week, deposited a $5,000 bogus check on a New York bank with a local trust company, went back the next day, drew $3,500 in cash and a cashier’s check for $1,500 and dropped out of sight.
