Hon. r. G. Evans. of Minneapolis,
will deliver the 4th Of July address at

Great fires are raging in the forests of
Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin and
great tracts of pine timber are being
devastated by the flames.

Michael Mullen and Charles Roos,

stopped off here Monday on their way.
to St. Paul. The Herald office was
among the favored places illumined by
their bright smiles, which haunt us
still. ST. PETER HERALD.
At the annual meeting of the Winona
& St. Peter Land Co. the following di-
rectors were elected:
Alfred M. Hoyt, New York; B. P.
Cheney, Boston; Angus Smith, Milwau-
kee; j. G. Fargo, New York; Samuel
N. Hoyt, New York; M. C. Barney,

At st. Peter last week very young
man, who gave the name OF John Eich
and claimed to be the son of rich De-
troit millionaire, hired horse for an
hour and was not heard of until caught
by officers at St. James, two days after.
He was brought to St. Peter where he
was given q hearing before the grand
jury, indicted and bound over to the
next term.
Scientists and practical electricians
are beginning to express great doubt as
to whether in all cases death can be
inflicted with certainty and painlessly by
electricity. A case is reported in which
a man working dynamo fell by acci-
dent near it, grasped the brushes with
both hands, and received shock equal
to 1900 ''volts, " whatever that is-or sup
posably enough to kill three men-but.
he was restored after great difficulty
and after suffering almost intolerable
pains. Punishment by electricity is
even yet an experiment.
VIM. Rounds, the train dispatcher at
Tracy, who has been afflicted with
paralysis, which renders his lower limbs
wholly useless, was taken to Winona
last week, where he will be under the
care ofa Chicago specialist. The Tracy
Trumpet says: The care taken in con-
veying the invalid, w. Rounds, to Wi
mona on Tuesday, shows with what es-
TEEN the young man is held by the rail-
road officials. A special train was run
for the purpose and every possible COM
fort was provided for the patient, with
strict orders to train men to run with
the utmost care. Engineer Norris, one
of the company's most reliable men,
had charge of the engine, and number
of the officials were along to see that
all went well.
The easy going American is fraud.
It was he who.allowed the dam to be
built and maintained so long at Cone
maugh. 1t is he who uses water sup.
piled from contaminated sources. It is
he who rides on railroad trains with
box of fire in each end of the car. It is
he who allows himself to be put at work
in the top of a ten-story building with
no sure escape in case of fire. It is he
who admits to constant violations of
proper restrictions for the prevention of
the spread of disease. It is he who al
lows dishonesty in places public trust
to go unpunished. It's he that submits
to numberless impositions and outrages
because he is too busy to ..kick" or
too good natured to make fuss about
them. It's his own fault in nine cases
out Of ten, so what is the use of wasting
any sympathy on him? EVENING
