A SAD CASE.

Rev. Frederick A. Pratt, of Lyra,
was brought to this city by his son
Tuesday afternoon, was examined as
to his sanity by Drs. Webster and
Steele. Mr. Pratt is seyenty-siX years
of age and has resided in this county
for thirty years. He is graduate of
Yale college, and was for many years
Congregational minister, but has for
number OF years been Presbyterian
minister. He has an unusually bright
family, several of the children being
graduates of the Mankato Normal
school. Recently his mind has given
away somewhat, and although he has
been a man of unusually exemplary
character and habits, he imagines that
he is among the lost, and hope has de-
parted. He was fine preacher, and
is loved by all who know him, and in
his sad affection all will sorrow. He
became somewhat violent Friday and
threatened to kill his wife, while in
an imprisoned mood, and it was
thought best to place him where he
can receive treatment. He was
found to be unsound, mentally, and was
ordered committed to the St. Peter
hospital.

A Case of WhitewaSh.

In olden times the Buddhist artists,
in painting religious pictures, were
seekers after effect, and especially a
misty effect which would impart
spiritually to the subjects. This was
done by means of a thin coating of
filmy white, something akin to white
wash. That, in all probability, was
the origin Of the term ito whiteWaSh. :"
But no Him of fancy or effect is needed
to heighten the prestige that has been
enjoyed for years by the Saint Paul
& Duluth Railroad. Everybody is
aware OF the fame of the Duluth
Short Line-as it is more generally
kn0Wn-of it's popularity as the best
route between Saint Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater,
TaylOr's Falls and other points,. It's
equipment is a dream Of luxury. it's
trains are swift and smooth running
and its terminals the finest in the
land. For a man to make one trip
over this route is to make that person
a regular patron of the line, as the
record OF the Duluth Short Line will
show. Always take the Duluth Short
Line ii you want a comfortable run at
convenient hours. Circulars, maps

THE FINAL RITES.

The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late Fred Widell were
the most largely attended of any
within recent years. Neither the
residence nor the spacious church
could begin to hold the people who
desired to witness the services, which
were of a most impressive nature.
Preliminary services were held at the
residence at one O'Clock, after which
the remains were escorted to the
Swedish Lutheran church by Canton
ColfaX'No. 9. and the two lodges of
Odd Fellows. with the COncOrdia
band. The interior of the church
was draped in mourning while about
the lpulpits were numerous plants, and
beautiful wreaths of cut flowers;
The floral offerings were unusually
numerous and handsome. The music
was very touching.
Rev. S. c. Franzen preached an elo-
quent and beautiful sermon in the
Swedish language, touching the
hearts of all present. We sincerely
regret that we are unable to give a
synopsis of it.
Rev L. w. Beattie followed
in most impressive manner, taking
for his text:
Cornelius was just man one that
feared God and of good report among
the Jews" Acts 1922.
Following in synopsis of his re-
marks:
1t is little a stranger, to a depart
ed friend, can say. But if what | have
heard of Mr.. Widell was truely eX-
pressed it was true in the language of
scripture.
This report is good because first he
was industrious without being penu-
rious. I'd, he was honest without being
selfish or hard. 3d. he was thrifty
without being avaricious. 4th, he was
generous without being prodigal.
And yet these traits OF character
that made him strong in the esteem
of his fellow citizens, and affections of
his workmen, land beloved in the bosom
OF his family, well guarded in the
deeper and more enduring principle of
love for God. So that the faith that
made him kind and thoughtful in the
home, generous and benevolent in the
church, was "a divine gift which en-
abled him to look upward for spirit
ual grace, that was his stay in the
hour OF trial and remains now the
heritage of his family that enables
them with powerful hope to await a
union at Gods right hand.
At the conclusion Of the services the
friends were given an opportunity to
view the remains, The cOuntenance
was lifelike and wore calm express
sion. The body was dressed in the
uniform of a member of Canton, while
the handsome casket bore the en-
blemS of the order.
The procession to the grave was
very long, and the uniformed bodies
moved to Glenwood cemetery, where
the Canton had charge of the final
services. The pail bearers were mem
bers of the Canton in full uniform, as
follows: II. Zimmerman, Jr., Chas.
Wagon, H. Jorgenson, VIM. Buckholz,
A. G. Meyer, and John Kleinschmidt.
The banks and many of the stores
were closed during the services, as a
mark of respect for the deceased.
