JOcamUl-OOat Dnafra Swedes are Graftful, Stock hoimjfoec 41, 1902. Mr. CARL W. A. KBOOK, New TJlm, Minn. Dear Sir:— *_ Your letter of tlje 13tb inst. came duly to hand and contents fully noted. The late consul general, Joseph Muir, has directed me to attend to the matter. I have consequently left the sum with one of the most prominent papers in Stock holm, where I know they will distribute the same in the most particular manner and report publicly. I beg herewith to thank you and your friends for your great kindness towards the destitute Swedes, and you may be sure the- dona tion will be highly appreciated. Your Respectfully, CARL GERELL, U. S. Deputy Consul General. The above letter was recievcd by Mi. Krook last week in aiswer to the dona tiOD that he secured from the people of this city and the near by places to which he went for funds and which he so easily secured from the generous citizens of the countv. The letter he rccieved has also included with it a clipping from the paper mentioned which gives an account of the reciept of the money from the consul general. The climate of Sweden is as a rule free fiom great irregularties, but the summei of 1902, was one of those raie exceptions Last summer was very cold and wet all over America aad Europe, and especial ly so in Sweden. The result is a very poor crop all over the kingdom and total failure of crops in the northers half. Here neither hay nor grain was secured. Northern Sweden is a sparsely settled country of quite large extent. Sweden is a thousand miles long, settled by a sturdy, self reliant race. The population is almost exclusively rural, and the chief industries are farming and cattle-raising. A.t present the farmers are selling their cattle at bard time prices for tbey have no hay«and tbey must have bread. But in thus supplying their immediate wants, they increase and lengthen their future sufferings, for one of their chiet articles of diet is milk, and it will take years to replace the heids now disposed of for a trifle. Sweden is a pauper country and is not in the habit of askidg fui aid. For generations there has not been such a failure of crops, and it is to be hoped that such disasters will be equally scarce in the future Hence this is in all human probability the first, last, and only time you will ever be asked to contribute to any charity for the benefit of the people of Swedeu. To Reside in California. Di. &.. W Daniels writes home from Cnhforma that he has purchased the giound foi a residence and will build a home in Pomona. While he will return to St Peter now aud then, he will-really make Pomona his home in the future aud thus practically retire from tbe practic of medicine. St. Peter* and the suriouuding country will be sorry to see him sever the tie that binds, but the best wishes of all go with him to his new home in the land of sunshine and flowers. Dr Daniels is the oldest living practi tioner in Minnesota. He cane here in 1853 and practiced at Fort Uidgely. Was promient in the defense of New Ulm. He located in 8t. Peter in 1861 and for over forty years was in active service here. H^e was regarded as the first citizen of St. Peter and we arc all glad that he will share at leust a portion of his de clining: years with his old friends here. —St. Peter Herald. New Law Firm.

E¥ ULM,t BROWN COUNTY GOES OUT AFTER BUSINESS •Ss-\*4s*£* Inter-State Determines to a in a Larger Territory this Year. Jr 3- "ST* N E W FIELD TO E WISCONSIN. Annua Meeting Results in the Re ,. election of the old Directors. *?f~ X* -v Pursuant to tbe call for the annual meeting sent out some time ago meeting was held in this ci Monday afternoon at the office of the- president. It was called to order by the president who reviewed, the work of- the year, and as the case last yeat the work of the as sociation shows up 'a Better advantage than WHS anticipated. The amount of work that has been done and the in creased numbers of members who have been added to the books was very grati fying to the members of the association who were present. 4? The prtsidciit called attention to the suggestion that there should be some corrections made1 in the management of the business iu the office, to comply with the requirements of the insurance com missioner,and suggested that the board of directors be increased to seven in place of the five as at present, aud ,that out of that number there be a new secretary elected. This matter had been previous ly advocated by some of tne directors, but when it was brought before the meeting by the president it did not have a friend and died without having come to a vote. The secretary's report show ed that the association was in the best of condition and that though the st *f cham8 that had bjeu paid was of extra length there was still a healthy sum in the treasury aud that as far as finances is concerned no improvement could be suggested. At the conclusion of the annual meet mg the boaid of directors met to elect officers and to lay out of business of the coming year. The result was that the same officers were elected as have held the office since the beginning of the com pinv, viz. G. W. Baines, president W. Hodges, vice president Jos Bobleter, secretary, O. C. Stnckler, treasurer and medical examiner. It was also de termined to open UL the state of Wis consin and »o introduce the association in that state. The operations of the as sociation have been within the bounds of the state of Minnesota and as there has been some demand for the insurance in Wisconsin it is believed that the new sta,te will be a promisiug field. Shot His Wife. August Stcinke of Sleepy Eye while quarreling with his wife last Friday evening shot at her with a revolver, in flictiog a slight wound on her arm. He wap put under anest and the following day had his hearing and was released on a bond signed by his brother for $1200. The story Of the trouble dates back some years, during which time the marriage relations between the couple has been 8'ramed, the wife being the larger and the stronger held the mastery, so when this lord of creation came home rather shaky she would administer a chastise ment that had a telling effect and tbe man would go to his parent's home where be would stay until the storm had blown over, and then return with the olive branch It was after one of these spells that he had returned Friday and the better halt refused bis conciliations. He went to the kitchen where he got into an ar gument with his daughter, in the course of which he did some swearing, to this the woman protested and ordered him to leave. W 9 She went about her Work and soon heard oaths again coming from the kitchen it was then that she became in earnest and was determined that he should obey, when he pulled his pistol and shot her with the above result. As soon as the report of £he~~gun was heard some of the men who were board ing there ran to her assistance and after taking the gun away tbey held him cap tive until the police could be informed of the deed. He did not appear to real ize that he bad done anyting out of tbe way. The charge that was brought against him is attempted assanlt and he is bound gyer to the grand Jury. ForSale.

Ti»# following letter is furnished by Edwards, Wood & Company, commis sion merchants of this city. 3^mff Last week's wheat market was the most active and the broadest market seen before for some months. The bull market continued to the end of the week and the close was at about the best prices reached on this market. This morning the market opened up very strong and advanced to 79 to 79£ cents for Minne apolis May wheat which is the high poiuf?fio far. afterwards on liberal profit the market declined to 78& cents ann closed at 78£ cents. Tbe movement to market centers is on a liberal scale and exports for last week were only fair but nevertheless there was a decrease of 672,000 bushels in the visible supply. World's shipments were 5,698,609 bus. which is much below Europe's weekly requirements, and of the total shipped the United States furnished about two thirds. There was a decrease of 1,280, 000 busheles in the amount on ocean passage. Foreign marks have been very strong and large daily sales for export have been made. 'Ihe advance in the price of wheat has seemed to stimulate rather than to check exports. In tbe United States the cash demand has been very strong and tbe price of spot wheat has advanced fully as fast, and in some markets faster, than the futures. Last week the Paris market developed great strength and advanced to an import basis* The critical period for European winter wheat has arrived and there are grave fears that it will be injured in several European countries. In tbe United States winter wheat is now in good condition, in California rain has fallen where it was much needed, the period of greatest danger to American winter wheat is in March. There was a good reaction in the piice of wheat to day and on any further nechnes the buy ing side is likely to prove the most pro Stable. Indications are that the bull movement is not yet over with. thetaking Krags for Militia. Every man whose name was enrolled as a member of the Minnesota N&tional guard Friday, when President Roose velt signed the national guard act, will receive a Erag Jorgeneen rifle, with all accoutrements. Adjutant General Liibbey will ascertain by tbe reports sent in Feb. 1 just how mauy men were enrolled in each company. He will certify the total number to Adjutant General Corbin The state will then turn in the old Sprmgfields now on hand and all the ac coutrements and ammunition. This distubution will be in addition to tbe regular division of tbe annual ap propriation of $1,000,000. Minnesota received supplies from the federal government last year to the value of $19,000, and will get at least an equal amount this year. From this distribution the state gets clothing and will get ad ditional rifles for newly enlisted men hereafter The Minnesota national guardsmen are highly pleased over another feature of the federal act, which provides for* paying members of the guard while in camp at the regular army rate. This means that enlisted men will get at the rate of $13 a month, or about 40 cents a day, for the time while in camp, tn addition to the $1.50 a day allowed by the state.- -$. ., *•*, The company at this city feels the new inspiration that has been shown in other quarters and is making an effort to re cruit its strength to the limit. There is material in the city to make an ex cellent organization, and the young men will find in the drills and exercises a feature that in itself makes the enlist ment to their advantage.
