A call is made to the ladies to
meet with Mrs. C. A. Forbes next
Monday to form a society for im­
proving the cemetery. It is hoped
that the number interested will be
large, as the work of beautifying the
entire ground where the loved ones
are laid to rest should be a labor of
pleasure, as well as the individual
graves, and would also be a credit to
otir citizens in taking pride in keep­
ing the cemetery in the best possible
condition. As the ladies have taken
hold of this work every encourage­
ment should be given them.
About a year ago several yearly
subscriptions to the

WALL
were
given for a stated service. Some of
these expire the first of next month,
when all those who are now receiving
this paper on that account will be
taken off the list, unless they desire
to continue it as regular subscribers.
This is done because it is not-, calcu­
lated to force our paper upon any­
one, and paymeut is requested of
every subscriber in some manner, so
rather than take advantage of some
of our patrons by the postal laws,
such subscribers will be dropped un­
less they order a contiuuance.
Last week Wednesday evening af­
ter rehearsal, the company composing
Queen Esther, decided to organize

der the direction of Prof. Watson.
Dr. Clark was elected Pres., M. P.
Mann, Sec'y and Treas,,. Jas. Mackay,
Conductor. Saturday evening this
week, the society wiil be perfected.
An organization of this character will
be one of benefit and pleasure to
those connected with it, also, to the
community. The proceeds of the
entertainment given last week are to
be used for the benefit of the society.
It is hoped that the citizens will ap­
preciate their efforts and lend a
helping hand whenever an appor
tunity offers.
Last week a lady well advanced in
years, who, from what can be ascer­
tained, was a successful charity con­
fidence worker, was brought to the
lunch counter of F. C. Geiger. In
addition to her old age she claimed
to be.blind in one eye and have poor
sight in the other. She paid for her
meager lunch out of a hankerchief in
which was a very small amout of
money. After eating she smoked a
few times to pass away time while
waiting for the Rushmore train where
she first said she wanted to go. Mrs.
Geiger, desiring to make it as pleas­
ant for her as possible, invited her
into the living apartment. She then
thought she would go but to relatives
in St. Kilian, afterwards thought she
would go to Blue Earth City, but fin­
ally concluded to go to Mankato.
Mrs.
Geiger,
^sympathizing with the
lady account of her old age, re­
mained up and accompanied her to
the depot for the midnight train. She
bought a ticket for Mankato, and in
paying for it exhibited a large roll of
bills. It Was afterward learned that
she left the train at Heron Lake. Mr.
Geiger, being suspicious, and haying
heard of such a person being in Sioux
City a couple of years ago, who was
living at a hotel at the city's expense
and after requesting wine with her
meals was ordered JJout of the city, he
wrote to the police matron there, who
said this was the same party and was
a most successful confidence woman,
or man, she did not know which, but
thought she was a man.
