More than Enough for the Local De­mand—A Coming Industry.

ALBERT LEA, MINN.—The Freeborn County Horticultural society held a meeting Saturday night for the consideration of seedling apples. About fifteen varieties were shown, all raised in this county except two. Some of them are considered valuable varieties and will 'be propa­gated, while others are of little value.

The apple industry is becoming important in this county, and it is safe to say that at least a half dozen carloads were shipped. The heavy local demand was supplied and in many in­stances large quantities of cider were made. G. H. Piescott, who lives near this city, has 120 , rods of land upon which he has 110 .Duchess | family apple trees that are now 10 years old. This year he sold apples to the value of $120.75, while last year he received $160 from the same trees. Iu_. he -had a crop that brought him $150. lh l s year he had over 275 bushels from the 118 trees.

Clarance Wedge sold three full carloads of apples and had over another full carload that sold In the city, besides that which went to waste and were carried away. Freeborn county is in the fruit belt as well as the butter dis

n, ^ u d t h c ' t l m e l s n o t f a r distant when fruit win be one of the most important crops raised in the county. -

NEW TTLM, MINN.—Congressman McCleary was in the city for the propose of having a con­ference with Colonel Pfaender concerning legis­lation for pensions for all these who participated In the Indian war of 1862 in the defense of New Ulm and Fort RIdgley. The congressman is not very hopeful of beiris able to frame a t i l l that will cover the case. He recognizes the fact that there were-many'In that defense who saw border lighting than many in the regular army, but there is no record on file at the depart­ment.

It is left with Colonel Pfaender to draft a bill. This will exclude all sixty day volunteers who enlisted for patrol duty after the repulse of Little- Cro.w. The measure will be prepared for the sole purpose of <iewarding the men who actually took part In,.the.battles.

Following the repulse of the Indians at this elty there were three companies, organized in this vicinity and others sprang up in various parts of the state. They were essentially state organizations and received pay out of the state treasury. Very few of these men heard a shot fired, and it Is not the purpose of the bill to

' ask that they be pensioned. The bill is for those who took par t ' in the engagements of Aug. IS to 24. 1802.

I t is not desired that the pension laws be •mended, as thiB ls considered a special case and entitled to special legislation. From lists which Colonel Pfaender has provided he finds that there are 156 men and sixty widows who would be benefited. He estimates that, the total number would not exceed 250, and they would |>e entitled to draw .?12 a month.

PRESTON, MINN—Fifty thousand trout fry have been put into the. streams tributary to the Ilo-»t river, and 50,000 smaller ones are being fed in tanks preparatory to planting.—Owing to the attitude of the board of education in en­forcing the truancy law, it is hard to find a child between the ages of 8 and 10 on the streets . during school hours.
