The Glencoe Enterprise says that
the spiritualists of New Auburn and
vicinity had so much faith in the pro.
phecy of the Mankato lunatic, that a
great storm was to annihilate large
portion of this State, June 18th, that
they assembled at Justice Palmer's
house on Wednesday and Thursday
last to prepare for the final end, or fur
nish means of escape. It is said that
they waited until three o'clock on the
18th, and at the suggestion of Uncle

Sometime ago Lieut.. Joseph A. Eek
stein made application at Washington
for admission into the signal corps
United States A., and last Thursday
he received telegram announcing
that his application had been granted
and that he should report at Washing

nation. Had a boltof lightning de-
scended from the clear sky Mr.. Eckstein
could not have been more surprised
than he was at the receipt of the tele-
gram. lie was however equal to the
emergency and, hastily arranging his
affairs, he strapped his knapsack upon
his back and went on his way rejoi-
cling Saturday afternoon, amid the we'll
wishes of a multitude of friends. In
the departure of Mr.. Eckstein the
public schools loses an efficient
teacher and The Governor Guards one
| of it's best members.
