Man Killed at Albany
Last Thursday morning, the
mangled remains of an unknown
man were found in Albany,
Minn., on the Great Northern
tracks about two blocks west
of the depot. Ills hat and one
shoe were found on the track
opposite the depot,and the rails
and ties, between the depot to
the place where the body was
found, were bespattered with
blood. From this it is inferred
that the unfortunate man fell
from or was struck by a train
at the depot and w*as dragged
between the wheels to where
the body lay. He was well
dressed and about thirty yeai's
of age.
Frank Kugel died with eon-
sumption last Pri 'av mornirg
at5 o'clock,in thethirty-fourth
year of his age. He was born
on the Stangl farm and moved
to the village with his parents
at an early age, and had ever
since made his home here. He
was twice married. His first
marriage was eight years ago
with Magdelena Schafer who
died two years later; his second marriage occurred three
and one-half years ago with
Katherine Wise, who survives
him. He was an active member of the village fire department under the auspices of
which he was buried in St.Joseph's cemetery last Monday

Meets Death In a Peculiar Way
Aberdeen, S. DM Aug. 24—
Frederick Hodgaon, a Lake
county farm hand, met death
in a most peculiar manner.
He was at work on a threshing
machine, and undertook to
sharpen his knife on the blower belt of the machine, which
was revolving at great speed.
The belt was spliced, and
when the knife struck one of
the splices it was knockod
from Hodgson's hand with
great force. The flying knife
struck the unfortunate man
in the heart, and he died Within 20 minutes.

afternoon   Of    last  week,   when
seventy-five   Duluth    boosters,
with   the   famous  Third   Kegi
ment band, paid us a hasty vis
it.    The  aggregation   came   by
special   train   at half past one
o'clock.and was met at the station by a   reception   commll
of BVe,headed by mayor (.ravel,
to bid them   welcome.     A  long
medley array  of vehicles, consisting of hacks, autos, bus
beer wagons, buggies anil   hay
racks, were   pressed   into
vice to bring the boosters) to the
village,     There    was   a   hasty
scramble   to get   under   t
when    they   reached   here,   for;
the   drizzling   rain   which   had '
been   falling   since   noon,    bad ]
grown into a shower.
The activity, which was displayed during the following
half hour, much resembled that
of a disturbed ant hill. There
was a running to and fro; there
were hasty greetings and short
jerky handshakes; there was so
much to do, and so little time
to do it.
The time schedule allowed
them only one hour in Pierz.
Deducting from this the time
spent in coming and going,
left them only a short interval,
every minute of which had to
be made use of.
When the band had played
a selection in each of the triplets—upper town, lower town
and New Pierz— the boosters
started for Onamia.

Pierz Should Be Called the Triplets
J. E. Morehouse of the
Gowan-Pey ton-CongdonCo. of
Duluth, is best remembered
here as the fellow with the
grizzlv Togo-oid face, who so
politely bowed to the ladies.
In talking with us about
the prospects of Pierz,he said:
"There you have the new
town, here is lower town, and
there is upper town. Sav bv
Jove, you are the triplets! I
have beeh in hundreds of single towns, and have even been
in the Twin Cities, but never
before saw the triplets. Yes
sir, vou are the triplets; you
are the triplets, sir. "How
do you do, ladies."

finger against Mr. Schultz'
chest in the neighborhood
of the inside  coat pockets.
Advice for Pierz People
People in Pierz who have
Constipation, sour stomach or
gas on the stomach, should use
simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Ad-
ler-i-ka, the new German appendicitis remedy. A SINGLE
DOSE brings relief almost INSTANTLY because this simple
mixture antisepticizes the di-
ehstive organs and drains off
De impurities. E. L. Kaliher,

Kiewel block is none to large
to accomodate the attendance
at the present Lime.
Xow instead of th-ee m*tJ
chines the school oWr.s over
sixty up-to-date standard
typewriters and Mr. Millard
says that by the end ot the
year he expects to haV<
tv-live— more than ai v other
school in the state. The college is fitted up with the best
of furniture and fixtures and
every convenience possible to
help the students in securing
a thorough business training.
During the coming tear the
college will introduce a new
study—that of commercial
geography. This will be given
by two lecture* each week
with maps and char a of the
countries under discussion.
A course in salesmanship will
be given this \ear to the most
advanced students sometime"
after the first of the vear.
Mr.    Millard    is    having   a
phone system Instilled in  the
schools also,so that telephony
can be thought the pup Is  before they go cut to  positions.
This system consists in having
live phortes or stations   in  the
different rooms of the   school.-
Beside each phor.e is  a  small'
box containing push buttons.
Bv pressings certain   button
that phone is  connected   with
another phone  coftesponding
with  number   of   the   button
pressed.    Any given phone irt
the school can call  anv  other
phone or central or talk on the
long   distance.      Should  one
phone be using a citv line four
other people can talk over two
complete lines in   the  college
without in anv wav disturbing
one another.   Fred Speechlev,
district   manager,    came   up
from St.  Cloud   Tuesday   to
draw up plans for the   installation of the system, which is
to be put in at once.
Only two other colleges in
the state have this system of
intercommunicating phones.
Mr. Millard, or rather the
"Boss," as he is known in the
school,says that the prospects
for this vear are better than
ever. Young people find that
after they have taken a course
here thev are sure of finding
plenty of work in their line. It
has come to be recognized that
Little Falls business college
graduates make grod. Posi^
tions seem to be plentiful as
we were shown three calls
that came in M01 dav of this
week for three bookkeepers
and stenographers. But Mr,
Millard had none to send.
Miss Gebhardt will again
have charge of the shorthand
department this year and from
the outlook at present there
will be large classes to start
the beginning of the term.
The policy of the school is
to send students to positions
just as soon as thev are com-'
petent and it is this policy
that has built the Little Fal's
business college up to its
present high standard.
