A SAD CASE.

There is a sad case of insanity near
South Bend, the victim being Mrs. w.
r. Davis, daughter of d. G. Evans.
This lady, who is thirty seven years
of age and has husband and several
children, has been attending meetings
of the Seventh Day Adventists for
sometime, and her mind has become
unbalanced. The other day she under
took to literally follow out the bible
precept eff thy hand offend thee, cut
it off, "an1 taking a butcher knife
made an attempt to cut off her left
hand. She made three bad cuts, one
across the back of the hand. one
across the back of the fingers and one
back OF the thumb. Fortunately no
arteries were cut and DR.. Harrington
was summoned and soon had the
wounds stitched up. The unfortunate
woman exhibited no sign of pain while
the doctor was at work. The hand
will always be useless as the tendons
wele severed 1t has not been
decided by the family whether or
not to have Mrs. Davis committed
to the insane asylum, but whatever
is thought to be best for her will be
done The family has the sypmathy
of their many friends.

SAILED THE SEAS So YEARS.
One of His Experiences.

For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed
the sea, most of that time as master of YES
sci, and upon retiring from the water was ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the United States
Treasury to superintend the seal fisheries in
Alaska, which position he held five years. He
relates one experience as follows:
For several years had been troubled with
general nervousness and pain in the region
of my heart My greatest affection was
sleep1essness; it was almost impossible at any
time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen
DR.. Miles remedies advertised l began using
Nervine. After taking small quantity the
benefit received was SO great that was posi-
lively alarmed, thinking the remedy con-
tanned opiates which would finally be injuri-
Gus to me; but on being assured by the drug
gist that it was perfectly harmless, contin-
ued it together with the Heart Cure. Today
l can conscientiously say that DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine and New Heart Cure did
more for me than anything had ever taken
| had been treated by eminent physicians
in New York and San Francisco without ben

judicious use of these most valuable remedies,

it fastened and swung it around so

VISITED CONWAY.

j.. G Bingham and G. G. Bingham,
of Britt, Iowa, father-in-law and
brother-in-law of VIM. Conway, one of
the prisoners charged with the Wal
rave murder were in the city Friday
and visited Conway at the Jail. They
are respectable appearing men and
state that Conway's arrest was a
great surprise to his acouaintances
there, and that he bore good name
while residing in Iowa, and was not a
drinking man. Mrs. Conway and her
little children still reside atCherokee,
where he left them, when he started
out in search of work. 1t seems that
he first met Layne in Sioux City, where
he says he worked for Layne at his
trade as stone mason. Mr.. Bingham
stated that they had never heard of
Layne until his name became con-
nected with Conway's when they were
arrested. Mr.. r ngham did not eX-
press any opinion in regard to the
guilt or innocence of his brOther-in
law. and it is not known whether
they had any other mission here be-
sides friendly visit. Layne and Con-
way are both quite cheerful most Of
the time and apparently do not let
their future give them any concern.
They are credited with being easy
prisoners to get along with and do not
give their attendants unnecessary
trouble. There are now six prisoners
at the county jail awaiting trial at
the December term of court. The
two BiDghams will return home to-
night.

AN ACCOMPLISHED AND GOOD
WOr1AN,

The missionary convention which
has been in session at the M. E.
chu rich for several days closed Sunday
evening. The meetings have all been
interesting and profitable to those in
attendance. Miss Minnie Abrams
who has been missionary to India
and will ain return there after
taking needed rest, spoke again last
evening TO highly interested audi
ence. Miss Abrams was a graduate
Of the Mankato Normal school few
years ago.
Perhaps the most distinguished and
most beloved person present was Mrs.
nj. Z. Mind, who occupied the pulpit
at the Methodist church yesterday
morning. Mrs. Mind was born in
London, England, in 1925 and came a
bride to this country in 1850 and set
tied in Kane county, Illinois, where
she resided until after the war when
her husband died. She came from
there TO Minneapolis where she re-
sided for many years, during which
| time her name became familiar
throughout the state. In 1890 she
went TO Detroit, Mich, where she now
makes her home. she fills the
position Of Field Secretary of Foreign
Missions and has been in every state
in the Union and breaches in nearly
every pace she visits. Her work is
in the evangelistic line and it is done
without pay. Her deceased husband
was cousin of Bishop Mind, of this
state, who presided at the conference
recently held in Minneapolis
Not until Mrs. Mind had seen her
children grown to manhood and
womandood and settled in col
lege did ushe take up her active
Christian work. One OF her daughters
is missionary IN China and has a
husband and five children there, and
one son has been a missionary to
South America for many years. Her
eldest daughter who is unmarried is
secretary Of the Penn Mutual Insur-
ance Company, Of Detroit, and the
editor of the Mississippi Lunaberma1,,
published in Minneapolis, is also her
son.
Although Mrs. Mind is now IS years
of age she has a remarkable counte-
nance and is as bright and active as
young girl. Her voice is clear AID
and she speaks with sweetness of
tone that only can be attained by
years OF refined, Christian training.
1t was a rare treat for those who had
formerly known her TO have her pres
ent at these meetings, and it is the
hearty wish OF all who have mad the
pleasure OF hearing her that her life
may be spared for many years TO carry
on the good WORK which sue mas choS-
en- as her own.

THE PUMP TEST.

r. d. Huh bard's pump was given
another test this forenoon, of half an
hour. The reservoir was shut off
from the mains and the city pump
shut down, and Mr.. Hubburd's pump
was connected with the city wells as
we'll as his own. 1t was some moments
after the reservoir was closed that the
pump was started, and the mains
were then partly depleted. The pres
sure was tested at the mill and at the
National Citizens bank corner The
reservoir pressure was 90 pounds, and
the pressure at once fell to 55 pounds
at the bank corner. Thi was main
tanned until hydrant was opened on
Sixth street, with two large streams
of water flowing. Then the pressure
fell to As pounds. A hose was then
attached to the hydrant near the opera
house and strong stream of water
was thrown, with force enough to go
over two story building. With all
this drain and the entire use of the
consumers, the mill pump maintained
a pressure of 423 pounds.
| President Swan, of the board of pub
lie works, states that with a pr ssure
of 40 pounds stream of water can be
thrown eighty feet.
The pump at the mill. during The
test, did not run to it's full capacity,
but pumped at the rate of 800 to $50
gallons minute, or something over
100000 gallons day. The pump,
if necessary, could pump 100000 gal
Ions day, or as much as the city
pump, but such an effort might rack
the machinery and was not necessary
as test.
The result of today's test shows that
Mr.. Hubbard's pump is able to afford
ample fire protection in case the city
pump should break down. But it is
necessary to shut down the mill and
close the reservoir whenever that
pump is used, which would prevent it's
being of service to supply'the consum-
ers of water. Either the amount of
water consumed must not he increas-
ed or new pump must be purchased
very soon. The amount of water
used per capita in this city is very
large, and this has led many to believe
that there is great waste, which if
StopDed would Obviate the necessity
for a new pump for two or three
years. From the World Almanac we
learn that the amount of water used
per capita in 1892 in some Of the cities
of the country was as follows: Mime
apolis 76 gallons, st. Paul 55, Omaha
60, Dubuque Is, Duluth 70, New York
City IA.
The consumption in Mankato is
from 80 to 100 gallons per capita. OF
course the low rates may have some
thing to do with this, but the water
mains have not been largely extended,
and it seems as though there was
much waste. In large cities hundreds
of elevators are supplied with water
power.
Whatever action is taken, it should
not be done hastily, but only after
careful consideration.
