nor does DIR. Hyatt.
"Mr. Blaine's condition is one of
weakness, which is principally shown
in feebleness of the hearts action and
difficult breathing. He is perfectly
conscious, and at no time hassbeen in a
state of stupor. As he suffers no pain
no narcotics or sedatives have at any
time been given, and it is not probable
that such remedies will become neces-
sary."

st. Joseph's society with other
friends assembled last night at the

residence OF Peter Medved where they
were Joined by the society OF Christ

In response Father Raster said his
heart was too full for utterance.
The generous gifts he would ever
highly prize, and cherish in grateful
remembrance the feeling Of good
will and apprecia ton which evident
ly prompted the presentation. He
said a few minutes before he was
thinking of the devotion of his father
in the old country in educating him,
and he wished he could be present at
the scene last night.
After the presentation the Chris
tian Mothers served refreshments
which they had brought with them
for the occasion.

THAT MURDERED CHINAMAN.
His Body Found In A Thicket Near
Brainerd.

Brainerd, Minn.. Special. June 26.
A boy herding cattle today found
the body of Lee Chump, the missing
Chinaman supposed to have been
murdered here a week ago. A terrible
stencil drew the boys attention to
thespot Lee Chump had evidently
been llred to the spot, a mile from
the city, across the river. and stabbed
to death, as there was cash in the
back and the knife thrust through the
heart. He still had diamond ring
ON his finger but his watch and
money were gone. Before the body
was found the the two Cinnamon
charged with his murder We're
brought up for examination, which
was postponed until Thursday. They
will be held, as the evidence is very
strong. A farmer saw four China
men go out to the thicket on the
day the murder took place, and saw
three return. Indignation runs high
but it is not thought violence will
take place, as the sheriff has the
prisoners we'll guarded. The cOro-
ner's jury has adjourned until
tomorrow. A large delegation OF
Cinnamon is here from st. Panl,
Minneapolis and Duluth.

THE CIRCUS MAXIUMS.
Ringling's Show Possesses Great
Drawing Abilities-An Im-
mense Crowd.
It Is Really A Great Circus And
Seems To Show Fully As
Well As Advertised.

Grand. imposing, brilliantly
magnificent and gorgeous is circus
rhetoric. Dressed out like a circus
bill, is frequently comparison that
is made whenever one desires to
represent anything as specially
gaudy. But however much circuses
are prone to exaggerate Ringling
Bros. circus appears to about fill the
bill as advertised.
1t certainly possesses great draw
ing qualities. An immense crowd
has beenin town all day, larger than
is hardly ever seen on the streets OF
Little Falls. The people seem to be
discriminating and able to tell when
a good show is coming. The last
circus drew a very small crowd. but
this draws out quite a percentage of
people or else the population OF
Morrison county is much larger than
has been supposed: the back towns
have probably been filling up more
than most people are aware OF. At
an early hour this morning people
began pouring in from all points OF
the compass and the hotels, restau-
rants and fluid establishments have
been doing a thriving businessall day.
The streets at times have been
blocked to such an extent that a
reporter was almost unable to get
along in his rounds about the city,
and no one has any news of course
upon circus day except about the
circus. To sum it all up a circus is Il
great institution especially if it is Il
good one, and seems to maintain it's
hold on the people

ing he didn't think the Northern
Pacific would build mile of road
this year in Minnesota. The dispute
as to the financial policy Of the road
would probably prevent the building
of roads this year. Then, too, the
cut would perhaps be rather dis
couraging to such enterprises. Mr.
Simpson thought, however. that the
financial crisis had about run its
course and that times would now be

MATRIMONIAL.
Mr.. Mat Reede And Miss Mary Tschide
Married by Justice Simmons
Monday.

The friends of Mary Tscfide in
vOked the law in her behalf on Sat-
urday afternoon. The attention Of
Sheriff Houde was called to the fact
that Mat Reede ought to marry her,
and the sheriff who, it seems, is good
at matchmaking at once interceded
for her. He found the prospective
pater-familias, who, though some
what reluctantly, consented to be-
come a benedict. And this morning
the bridegroom with Sheriff Houde
as best man assembled the steps of the
Butler block to the hymeneal altar
in the office of the county attorney,
where the bride was in waiting and
was given away by Mr.. Lyon, the
ceremony being performed by Justice
Simmons.
