JOSEPH WEGMAN
MISSINGSINCE SUN.
No Trace of Him  Could   be   Found
Last Tuesday by Posse of
Fifty Men
Joseph Wegman, foster-son
of Mrs,Hansmann of Lastrup,
has been missing' since last
Sunday morning ten o'clock.
Joseph came down from Duluth last week to visit his
mother. He had been drinking heavilv and had apparantly
been bordering" on delirium
tremens for several days prior to his disappearance. Sunday morning at ten o'clock
he stepped out into the yard,
presumably to look at the
grain in a nearby field, and
since then nothing has been
seen or heard of him. Leaving his best clothing, money,
watch, suitcase, etc., at his
mothers's place would dispel
the theory that he had taken
the train back to Duluth.
Tuesday a posse of fifty persons scoured the whole country about Lastrup, without
finding a trace of him.
C. B. Buckman Visits His Old Farm.
C. B. Buckman and wife,
John Carnes and wife and

Buckman's old homestead,
known as the old Buckman
farm last Thursday afternoon.
In the evening the partv returned to Little Falls by the
way of Pierz. Mr. Buckman
remarked many changes in
the Buckman farm since he
left it about six j'ears ago.
Simple Mixture Used In Pierz.
Many in Pierz are now   using
the simple buckthorn bark and
glycerine mixture known as
Adler-i-ka, the new German Appendicitis remedy. A SINGLE
DOSE relieves constipation,
*our stomach or gas on the
stomach almost INSTANTLY.
This simple mixture antisepti-
cizes the digestive organs and
draws off the impurities and
people are surprised how
QUICKLY it helps. E. L. Kal-

New Marriage Law
According to the law passed by the last legislature
which goes into effect July 1,
persons of nearer kin then
second cousins cannot be married in this state. The limit
was formerly first cousins.
The laws of 1905 which require
that a marriage license has to
be taken out in the county in
which the woman lives, is still
in effect. It is stated that
several persons from the city
who have taken out licenses
in Minneapolis or St. Paul are
not legally married and may
find themselves in peculiar
circumstances if a question of
property or life insurance
comes up.—Journal Press.

of the features of this parade
will be a wagon containing our
honored veterans of the Civil
war.
Flax Crop a Failure; Corn Doing Well
We have interviewed a number of farmers in this neighborhood in regard to the corn
and flax crops. The opinion
seems to be that flax will be a
total failure. Corn has suffered much by the cut-worm
and many farmers found it
necessarv to replant large portions of their field. But, notwithstanding this set-back, if
we get a good rain within a
reasonable time, we can expect a good crop of corn.
GREAT INLAND HARBOR
The city of Chicago is going to spend 550,000,000 for a
new harbor, and incidentally
the city will operate its own
tramways, elevators,and loading plants as a part ot the
scheme, charging shippers
for the service, makingacom-
prehensive municipal ownership to that extent. It is an
attempt or. the part of Chicago, to secure water a little
nearer the puritv of that from
which golden grain belt beers
are made, the purest water
known. Beer with poor water may seem good, but it
won't stand the test. Order
a case now. Secure vour
supply from E. S. Tanner,

Small   Tornado   in   Buh
A small tornado passed over
John Tretter's place in Buh,
Saturday afternoon. L. "Winer
the stockbuyer, who was at Mr.
Tretter's place during the storm
reports that the house shook
like a leaf and that everybody
there, including himself, was
ready to go into the celler. The j
wind lifted a heavy hayrack j
from a wagon and carried it several rods, and Mr. Tretter's
large new barn was badly
strained and twisted out of
square. It was reported by
several churchgoers Sunday
that the roof of John Held's
barn was blown off by the same
storm. There was hardly a
breath of wind stirring in the
village during the time the
storm is reported to have occurred.

The heavv showers which
visited Eastern Morrison
cnuntv Saturday am! Sundav
dispelled all fear of a total
crop failure owing to the torrid spell whirh had hung-over
us for several weeks and wilted all vegetation.
The extent of the damage to
the crops by the scorching
heat is variously estimated.
Some sav that we cannot aspect more than about half a
crop, while others assert that
that the rains will wonderfully
revive the drooping head* of
wheat and give us almost, if
not quite, a full vield.
Grain about Buckman and
Agram do not much show th*»
effects of the drought, but
some of the fields close bv the
village like Christ Virnig's
seem to have passed beyond
recall. Reports from clav
bottom lands are promising of
a good crop, unless, something
unforeseen, such as a hail
storm, another long-continued
ilrv spell should step in and
upset calculations.
Corn,in most fields, is quite
well advanced , some even beginning to bloom, but in
patches, where it had to be
replanted, owing to the early
damage by the cut-wrrrm, it ia
scarcely more than six inches
hip-h.
Flax is reported to be about
a total failure. Another week
will give us a pretty good i-
dea what to expect in the line
of small grain.
Harness Shop For Sale.
Ill health compels me to sell
my harness business. It is a
well paying business, which I
started 18 years ago. I have
been suffering during the last
few years and had my right leg
taken off last year and am now
unable to attend to the business
properly. I will sell my whole
stock, sewing machines, tools
etc , at a very reasonable price
and favorable terms. For particulars inquire at my shop or
home in Pierz.
