United States Minister Moran Initiates

Kellar, the magician, has pretty
thoroughly covered the globe in his
travels. and has come out safe and
sound. He says he never met with
but one accident in all his wanderings,
but that one experience was queer
enough, he thinks, to make up for the
lack of many others. He tells the
story in this way:
1T was something like ten or twelve
years ago that left Lisbon, Portugal,
one fine summer morning on a steam
or bound for Southampton. The
steamer was one Of the stanchest on
the line, the weather was particularly
pleasant and everybody was figuring
on speedy and enjoyable run. Be
fore we had been out OF Lisbon many
hours found that Benjamin Moran,
the United States minister 10 Portugal,
was passenger on the steamer. Mr.
Moran introduced himself 10 me, and
on the strength OF our both being
Americans and In the company Of lot
ofPortugueseand foreigners, wespeed
lily struck upon acquaintance. After
chatting on various subjects and ex
changing experiences, we fell to in
cidentally talking aboutthe prospective
oyage. said something about the
pleasant trip expected, but Moran
laughingly checked me with these
words. Mr.. Kellar, we are doomed 10

A well known authority on the sub
ject of insomnia says he has known
many persons of all ages and both
sexes, in perfect health who could not
hold their tongues when asleep. This
habit is due to indigestion or to cere-
bral irritability The remedy is an early
meal before going to bed, taking half a
pint of cold spring water before putting
the head on the pillow, and always
sleeping on the right side-never on the
back. In case of premature wakeful-
ness, copious draught of wates usual
ly reinduces sleep The topical appli
cation of cold is a very harmless and
potent anesthetic remedy; in conous.
sion of the brain especially so. In the
feverish delirium of tropical climates it
acts like a charm and often produces
sleep. An OK bladder or light rubber
air ball, filed with broken ice, viii of

Puget Sound.

People who have visited the wonderful
region surrounding Puget Sound can not
find language to express the delight they
have felt in gazing upon the varied
beauties of scenery there spread before
them. There can be no satisfaction in a
mere description, and the best works of
famous artists fade into insignlfcance
before the magnificent reality. Not
alone is the region rich in all that makes
it fair to look upon, but as we'll in it's
wondrous resources, awaiting the appli-
cation of human labor to develop them
for the benefit of mankind. The Puget
Sound country is paradise to the sight
seer, a revelation for the explorer, and a
land of plenty for the husbandman, be-
sides offering unsurpassed opportunities
for the capitalist ahd manufacturer. It
is reached via the Chicago, St. Paul &
Kansas City railway, which connects at
st. Paul and Minneapolis with through
trains of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads for all points in the far

Blue Earth City Post; ]. A. Tawney,
a appointment young attorney OF Winona,
and formerly an officer in the Second
Regiment. NJ. N. g.. has just returned
from an eastern trip. He visited Gettys,
burg, the town where he was born. He
was eight years old at the slime OF the
battle, yet has vivid recollections of that
hottest battle of the war. The battle
ground of Gettysburg, Mr.. Tawney says,
is place which nature made beautiful,
with tinge of the romantic, but to go
over the ground now and read the IN
scriptions upon boards and monuments
one realizes as he never did before what
an awful scene was enacted there on the
first days of July, 1868. About 1900
acres have been purchased by the Ma
tlonal Battlefield Memorial Association,
as the representative Of the national
government, which embraces the ground
on which the hottest fighting was done.
An effort is being made to preserve the
appearance Of the locality as far as the
growth and decay Of shrubbery will per-
NIT. There are thousands of monuments
which tell who fell during the battle, yet
the gallant old First Minnesota, who we've
in the hottest of the fight, who led the
most heroic charge in the history of
modern warefare. who ut the cost of al
most complete annihilation saved Gettys-
burg'have no monument to commemorate
the valiant deeds Of those who fell. This
utter neglect should be remcdied by our
next legislature. New York has erected.
through its State treasury, monument
for each of her many regiments. and
many of the regimental associations have
also erected one. Surely Minnesota can.
not suffer this neglect to remain longer.
Let our prosperous commonwealth erect
a monument worthy the memory of the
deeds of the gallant old First, and let it
be done with LAVISH hand.

BURNED TO DEATH.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. CARL Found Beneath
the Ruins of Their Dwelling.
Last Sunday morning the terrible news
was received that the residence of Mr.
CARL, living near Lansing, had been
burned, and with it Mr.. and Mrs. CARL.
Coroner Allen visited the place on Mon
day, when the charred remains of the two
bodies weye found beneath the ruins,
burned beyond recognition. AS late as
nine o'clock on Saturday evening it is
known that everything was all right
about the primises. How the fire origin
ated is mystery that will probably never
be solved. None of the neighbors, nor
even the tenant on his farm, who lived
only across the road, knew nothing of
the fire until Sunday morning. It is
generally believed to be purely accidental
and not discovered by the inmates until
escape was impossible. Mr.. CARL pos
sessed considerable property. One hnn
dred and forty dollars in gold was found,
but of course whatever papers he might
might have had were destroyed with the
building. Mr.. and Mrs. Carll leave three
married daughters. Mrs. Freeman Carll
of Lansing, Mrs. Ed. Morrill, of Mime.

in Freeborn county.
