THE general opinion that China and
japan are long way behind the ethel
nations IN point of civilization and
progressive measures is due to lack OF
knowledge upon the subject. 1t IS true
tkat in many things they are behind
some of the other nations, but in
others they are far in advance. For
instance, the Japanese Government
adopted the postal savings bank sys-
tenn several years ago, and it is now
working successfully In this country
There are other matters equally pro-
gressive which have been acted upon
by these countries, which have as yet
only been talked of here.
SERIOUS and extensive floods have
occurred in parts Of Lower Bengal
through which crops were destroyed,
live stock drowned, and homes washed
away. It viii be some months before
new crops can be grown, and the dis
tress of the poorer classes is painful
Committees of missionaries and native
pastors have been appointed to dis
tribute the means of relief furnished
by the people of Calcutta and other
places. Many of the floods were
caused by the bursting of weak places
IN the river embankments and through
the obstruction to the natural flow of
the water caused by the railway grades
having been built without sufficient
waterway through them.
A RECENT microseopical study by
Herr Schultz of the skin of toads and
salamanders has Welded some inter
esting results. There are two kinds
of glands, mucous and poison glands.
The former are numerous over the
whole body, while the latter are on
the body and limbs, and there are
groups in the ear region behind the
eye, and in the salamander at the an
gle of the jaw. The poison glands
are, of course, protective, and the cor
rosive juice Is discharged differently
in toads and salamanders on stimulate
ing electrically. In the latter it is
spurted cut in a fine jet, sometimes
more than foot in length; whereas
In the toad after long action of the
current, it exudes sparingly In drops.
There Is no reason for suppOsing that
the mucous glands become poisonous.

Hon John N. Thur=toa Pre-ident:
DEAR SIR:-I beg TO acknowledge the re-
eelpt Of your letter of the 9Th inst, inviting
me to attend the fourth annual convention
of the republican league clubs, to be held at
Cincinnati, April p and Do
Your letter found me pressed with bust
ness incident to a contemplated trip to the
Pacific coast, on which shall start IN few
hours. ] regret that 1 shall be unable to at
tend the convention or to give by letter any
extended counsel. The convention of the
republican party and the legisla alton of the
last congress have. however, very clearly de-
lined and very courageously presented the
issues upon which the next contest must be
waged. To those conventions declarations I
gave the assent Of deep conviction and to the
important legislation of the last congress my
utmost support. If the people of the United
States will now give the world to understand
that the protection and enlargement of our
protective industries, the extension OF our
foreign trade by reciprocal trade not incon-
5istent with the protective policy, and the
revival of our merchant marine BY the
methods that all other nations use Is settled
policy, We will speedily realize marvellous
delOpments and renewed prosperity. Hop
ing that your convention may in all respects
be successful, I am very truly yours,
BESJAsIIs HARRISON.

FoRECLosING IT'S LIENS.
Large Interests Involved in the
Duluth, Huron & Denver Case.

Specl0l 10 the GIODe.
ST. CLOUD, Oct. 17.-Seyeral impOr-
tant lien cases are now being tried in
district court here before Judge ID. B.
Searle which involve large interests
and contain several delicate points of
law. The title of the cases are Commo-
dOre z. Jones VS.. The Duluth, Huron &
Denver Railroad Company, and William
FowldS VS.. same. Both are for the
foreclosure of liens for the construct on
of ninety miles of the railroad the
amount involved i'll the first case being
$4,000 and in the second $4,000.
Both cases, having been tried before,
are being fought tooth and nail, as
the ultimate cont of the road hinges
upon the result. Prominent Northwest
ern people are interested, among them
being Commodore P. Jones and Z. A.
Caldwell, of Minneapolis; E. J. Hodg-
son, of st. Paul; William Fowlds, of
Chippewa Falls, Wis, and E. NJ. Mabe,
of Sioux City, 10. The plaintiffs in the
cases are represented by Hunt & Nor
rIl of Minneapolis; the railway cOmpa-
ny by Davenport & Than, of the same
place, and the co-defendants by Davis,
Kellogg & Severance, of st. Paul, ana
S. Ii. HodSon, of Benson.
The aggregate interests in the two
cases amount to more than Sl5O,OOO, and
these suits are the basis of several eX-
tensive proceedings, some of which are
now pending in the supreme court. AS
the railroad will run through the richest
wheat belt i'll Minnesota upon its com
pletion, bitter fight as to its control,
which these cases will determine, is on,
and great portion of next week will be
occupied with them.

sheriff. Attorney Mason and the coun-
ty attorney that his brother, Ander-
son Goheen, committed the murder
OF Rosa Bray. He gave the minutest
details and sWOre that he saw the deed
done. He claimed that it was for the
purpose of taking little money that
the woman had. The officers did not
take much stock in the charge, but,
nevertheless, Anderson GOheen was ar
rested. The annals of crime do not fur

brother incarcerated in the same

everything that was possible to save his
present accuser's neck. Anderson
Goheen at Adelbert's trial not only
swore the latter was at home with him
when the murder was committed. but
in all his testimony showed his anxiety

When the time for Anderson Goheen'S
preliminary examination arrived Adel-
bert positively refused to go into court
and there reiterate the charges against
him which he had made to the officers.
There was no other evidence against
Anderson and he was discharged. 1t is
the general belief that in his story of his
brothers. pretended crime AdelbeTt told
the real story of the murder, with the
exception that the murderer was him
self and not Anderson. This episode
had the effect Of turning against him
the few who were still working in his
behalf and TO further incense the public
against him, and the final decision of
Gov. Merriam noe to interfere with the
execution of his sentence was received
by everybody in this neighbOrhood with
satisfaction. Accepting the fact that
Adelbert G0heen is guilty, his charge
against his brother was simply diaboi-

THE woman he KILLED.
Points About Rosetta Bray, Young
Goheen's Victim.

Special TO the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, MIMI, Oct. H.
Rosetta Bray, or Rose Wood, as she
preferred to be called, was woman of
about thirty years Of age, who for sew
eral years past had been a familiar
figure on the streets of Fergus Falls.
Many thought she was merely an ecceH-
trio character, somewhat unbalanced
mentally, and others that she was All
abandoned woman. At any rate she
led 4 prccariOuS existence. sleeping i'll
warm weather in barns and gardens, and
supporting herself by scrubbing and odd
Jobs Of work. She claimed to have been
married at one time to man named
Wood, who left her. Her brother, Ed
Bray, IS a prosperous farmer Of the
town of Maine, in this county, and
other relatives Of hers live in that town.
1t is said she had been disowned by her
family, and that they had little to do
with her. Monday evening, March q,
the body of this woman was found near
the Great Northern railroad track, 4
mile or so from the center of this city,
and not far from the 1 bird insane
hospital. 1t was frozen stiff, and the
first suppOsition was that she had
frozen TO death, but later two bullet
wounds were found. one in her head,
the other in her breast. Sunday night,
March %, before the Woman'S body was
found and tWenty-four hours after 1t is
supposed she was killed, Adelbert Co
heen and his brother Anderson started
from Fergus Falls on a tramp through
Otter Tail county, following the North
ern Pacific, Fergus Falls IL Black Hills
railroads toward Wadena. 1t was known
that AdelOert had kept company with
pXtnnf
because there was no other human being
to whom the crime could be reasonably
attributed, suspicion that he was the
murderer became general, and this SUs-
plciOn was intensified when it was
learned that he had LETT the city. One
week later, Saturday night, the two
brothers returned voluntarily to their
fathers home in Fergus Falls, and the
next morning Adelbert was arrested
and lodged in Jail. So far there was
very little to connect him directly with
the crime, but many circumstances
pointing to his guilt were afterward
found: Nj. j. DAILY, the county attor-
ney, is young man, and, feeling
that he still had his spurs to
win as a prosecutor, he threw himself
into the case with zeal which left no
stone unturned. From the first he was
aided by public sentiment, which was
strong against the prisoner. When the
preliminary examination was held there
was so little evidence against Goheen
that his discharge was confidently pre-
dicted by many. However, he was held
to the grand jury without bail, and
again the county attorney had to do eX-
peditious work to secure an Indictment,
for the district court met within few
weeks after the preliminary eXamlna-
ton.

tractor and wealthy citizen of this city,

the opportunity, for the captain sud-
denly grasped bis assailanU by the
throat, and, after a terrible struggle,
succeeded in throwing him over the

who heard the struggle, ran out and
snatched the pistol from the fellows
hand. The captain turned to ascertain
wha had taken the gun, and as he aid
so the man wrenched himself from his
captor'S grasp and ran up John avenue.
Captain Barker gave chase but his bird
was too much for him and dis
appeared near the Church of
the Sacred Heart. During the
struggle, Capt. Barker recognized the
man as one who had called at his office
in the afternoon and with whom he had
had dispute. The man at that time
said his name was Sandford, and repre-
scented that he had recently come to Su-
perior from Minneapolis and was em-
ployed by the Superior Bakery company
as pastry cook. The latter insulted
the captain, and he ordered HIM out of
the Office. The captain refused to dis
close the nature of the dispute. Capt.
Barker Immediately after the assault
swore out warrant against Sandford

der. The police are looking for Sand
