—The Elk River News speaks of a “musical prodigy” in that place, “a little child 22 months of age, who sings snatches of various tunes, and in the instance of that old tune, ‘Greenville,’ she will sing it through complete.” That may be quite remarkable for Elk River, but we have at our house a little damsel, of about the same age as this prodigy, who sings “Sweet Hour of Prayer” with “Peter, Peter Pumpkin-eater” as a chorus, to music strictly of her own composition.
—One would naturally suppose, from the fair propositions to the St. Cloud Press, published in The Journal of last week, that the Press would now have to “put up or shut up.” They made a great hue and cry last spring about a certain $1,000 which they were willing to place on deposit in the Bank of St. Cloud and wager upon their ability to demonstrate the truth of certain assertions of that paper. The boot is now on the other foot. Brother Mitchell, of The Journal, now has $375 on deposit in the same Bank, which the Press folks can easily draw into their coffers if they can substantiate their statements in regard to the circulation of the two papers. By securing this money the manager of the Press will be enabled to make lighter drafts upon the private funds of the “Press Printing Company” than is his wont, and thus produce harmony in the “ring.” — St. Cloud Times.
—The “Leap Year Necktie” for gentlemen has a spring, which, being touched, moves a thickness of silk aside and shows a disc inscribed “No.”
FOUND DEAD IN BED
The Rev. Wolfgang Northman, O.S.B.
Tuesday Coroner Overbook received a dispatch that the Rev. Wolfgang Northman, O.S.B., (better known as Father Wolfgang) had been found dead in his bed that morning at Meyer’s Grove, about five miles from Melrose. The Coroner went by that afternoon’s train, accompanied by F.E. Searle, Esq. A Coroner’s jury was empaneled, consisting of J. Marthaler, John Weber, J. Nate, A. Nate, J. Kramer, and P. Philipsen, and from the evidence taken it appears that the deceased had called at the house of John Heimert about five o’clock Monday afternoon and remained until eight o’clock, being apparently in good health. Mr. H. Then accompanied him to his room, the two remaining together until half-past nine, playing the organ and singing, when Mr. H. Returned home. The next morning, the priest not appearing at the time appointed for mass, Mr. Heimert want to his room and found him lying on the bed dead. Dr. Campbell, of Melrose, was present at the inquest and gave it as his opinion that death had been caused by heart disease, and the verdict of theory was to this effect. Father Wolfgang was about 46 years of age, and had been for several years, before going to Meyer’s Grove, a professor at St. John’s College. He was well and favorably known in this city. The remains were followed to Melrose yesterday morning by a large concourse of people, and were brought to St. Jo. and taken thence to St. John’s College, where the funeral will take place today. A number of persons went from this city to the College this morning to attend the funeral.
