Byers farm, two miles south of Angus, on August 23rd. The coroner of Polk county and County Attorney Montague and Sheriff Bblstad, of said county, are conducting the examination before a jury of citizens in the office of Justice Braggans at the Marshall county court house.

Six of Warren's young glrls^left Monday afternoon on Seven Nurses to GraduateExercises wthe* two at the close of the days work with the result that Corcoran received some ugly blows in the face and had his jaw bone broken by his adversary, who was a much younger man Cor coran, it is stated, was 58 years old, and said to be a good worker. The men about the machine parted the two fighters as quickly as it could be done. Corcoran was later brought to the hospital His teeth being in a bad condition, infection set in in the brok en jaw resulting in death Funeral services were conducted at Skalman's undertaking rooms last Thursday, a brother of deceased, James Corcoran, having arrived to attend the buhrial Deceased was a widower and is said to be survived by three grown children. The coroner's jury is still in session and not until their/verdict is given can it be known whether or not there exists cause for holding another man responsible for his death.

PROSPERITY WAITING TOJffi WELCOMED New York Banks Foretell Great Busi nes Resvival and Quote Predictions of prosperity to come have been taking much space in the pubUc press for the last year. Opin ions of many men supposedly quali fied to speak with authority have been sought and eagerly published. But here is not a prediction based on hope or "general conditions" but upon sta tistical facts. Some New York banks took the trouble to gather up the facts and present them as real evi dence. According to these figures, bank clearings in 165 cities ar 15.7 per cent higher than a year ago in dustrial employment in New York State 1% per cent and throughout the country 15 per cent pig iron pro duction 177 per cent zinc production 84 per cent copper production 20 per cent automobile 59 per cent sugar meltings 78 per cent electric power production 21 per cent building con tracts 61 per cent, etc These figures are the true index of what has hap pened and a firm foundation on which to build a tremendous prosperity for the immediate future. From these facts the banks draw the obvious conclusions that real pros perity is here and but waiting the set tlement of upset industrial conditions to be visible. As an officer of one of these organizations puts it: "When all allowances have been made for the clouds now overhead and for the great seriousness of the forces of dis organization as expressed in the strikes, the domestic economic position presents pleasing contrasts with that prevailing one year ago, when Amer ican business was at the lowest ebb in, many years. To measure some of these contrasts is to gain the two fol ^conviction that buiness recovery has been substantial ^.and that, when strikes are settled,, the revival will logically continue many months be fore reaching the crest of a new pros perous era." IS NEWEST, BIGGEST GEYSER Yellowstone's newest and biggest geyser developed a few weeks ago when without preliminary manifesta tions, a quiet mud pool near the head of Obsidian creek, sent a column of streaming hot mud and rocks 300 feet into the air. The eruption lasted several minutes and is repeated at ir regular intervals, each time sending up a 3W-foot column of mud and water,' which is higher than any of the' other geysers In the park. Generous Rains Delay Threshing The dry spell was broken last Fri day by a heavy rain that delayed threshing until the following Monday. Then again on Tuesday morning an other big down pour came that will delay threshing for the remainder of the week in this part of the valley. The moisture was needed sure enough, but the delay to threshing is unfort unate Around Warren the work would have been cleaned up in a few more days, but in other localities it is not as far along. Farmers who haver stacked their grain evidently did a wise thing. Should the wet weather continue there is danger that much grain will be spoiled by sprouting. VOTE OF THANKS The library board wishes to extend a vote of thanks to the members of the Presbyterian Ladies Aid society who contributed seventy-five dollars to the public library. This sum of money will add many new books and periodicals to the growing library. We also wish to thank the Community Club for their gift of five dollars. -In behalf of the library board and citi zens of Warren we accept these splen did gifts with the greatest of pleasure. t,*' K. i LiDrar Board.

It was stated that Nervig, in company wit three other young men, had been out for a time and had partaken of too much moonshine. The others in the car were uninjured but the Dodge car in which they werejiding, badly smashed. fa A Mr. Faafeng of Grandin, owner of the auto, was doing the driving and he is said to have testified before the coroner's jury that he was well filled up with "moon" at the time and didn't know whether he was afoot or horseback.

The judges en dorsed the return of capital punish ment in this state and also favored the passage of a law by the legisla ture defining in what cases capital punishment should be used as the ex treme penalty. The judges also fa* vored a law allowing county attor neys to proceed against criminals "by information," but they would not abolish the_grand jury system.

"Public Relations" will be discussed by a representative of the Minnesota Railroad and Ware house commission. A Mrs. Olesen To Speak At Crookston Sept. 9 Anna Dickie Olesen, candidate for United States Senator on the Demo cratic ticket will deliver her key-note speech in Crookston next Saturday evening, September 9th. She has al ready made a six weeks' speech mak ing tour of the state, traveling by a Ford, the gift of Minneapolis women and delivered 95 speeches, a strenu ous record for even a seasoned cam paigner Many people from all parts of the valley, even though they may have no intention to vote for Mrs Olesen, will no doubt go to Crookston to hear what the most talked of woman in Minnesota has to say on the political questions of the day. She is a woman who deserves a respectful hearing and doubtless will get a big vote, although it is hardly believable that she will be able to turn a rock ribbed republican state like Minnesota into the democratic fold, this year. Potato Specialists Coming to Stephen Col. F. A. Green is in receipt of a letter from Commissioner of Agricul ture N. J.

SCHOOL BELLS TO RING ON MONDAY Superintendent Holmquist Makes Sug gestions to Parents and Teachers That Witt Make for a SoeeessM School Year. The Public Schools of Warren open Monday morning, Sept. 11, at 9 o'clock. The plan is to have the grades in ses sion thd entire day. The High School will enroll students, give out books and assign lessons. Tuesday all classes will recite the full time. By Wednes day the system should be running smoothly. The hearty co-operation is asked of parents in the assigning of buildings to children of the first four grades. It may be necessary to ask some chil dren on the East Side to go to the Washington school and some on the West Side to attend the grade 4n the High School building. Whatever di rection was given on the report card last spring should be followed the first day Children six years by November 1st will be admitted to the first grade. It would be well if parents who have children not six. by November 1st and who would like to have those children begin school, to come to the school with the child and talk the matter over with teacher and superintendent. All pupils of the 5th, the 6th and the 7th grade attend school at the Washington building those of the 8th grade, the High School building! It is essential that children begin the first day and continue regularly. Then progress by the pupil can be de manded. Honest effort has been made to have the buildings in proper condi tion, books and materials on hand that effective work can be done from the first day. Fuel is on hand so that in case of need the buildings will be warm. Whatever has been done has been done with the child in view that his health and his morals may be pro tected and his mind trained that he may have the right attitude towards life, his fellow men, and his country.
