THE LAWYERS VISION.
A Remarkable Instance OF Physical suffer-
ing and Thought Transference.

A Remarkable Instance of Physical Suffer-
ing and Thought Transference.
The Popolo Romano relates the fol-
lowing authentic fact, without giving
more than the initial of the person to
whom it occurred, a distinguished young
lawyer of literary reputation, Who stated
that he could not give the most remote
explanation Of it: "Some years since, on
a hot summer afternoon, the Avvocato
A., together with his wife and two
children, left their house in Via Gaeta at
8 o'clock precisely for an evening walk.
He was in good health and spirits, but
just as they crossed the street he was
suddenly seized with shock through his
whole body, which caused all the blood
to leave his face and obliged him to sup
port himself against the wall. His wife
in alarm assisted him to steady himself,
anxiously asking what was the matter.
"Herecovered himself speedily and was
able to continue the walk, only describ-
ing an unaccountable perturbation and
humming in his ears. The evening
breeze and exercise gradually Gained
and revived him, and he completely re-
gained his usual frame. They went to
visit some friends and then rested at
cafe, when toward half past II o'clock
storm which had been gathering began
the first blasts Of wind, and they hurried
home. Scarcely arrived indoors, the
Avvocato A hurried to remove some
flowerpots from a balcony over the
street, taking lamp with him. The
wind extinguished the light, so he had
to continue his operations in the dark,
only illuminated now and then by the
lightning flashes. He was just lifting
the last flower vase, an ornamental one.
given him by his mother, when he was
startled by seeing a kind of black veil
waving upward close in front Of him.
which, as it rose, assumed human form.
"Very much disturbed, he Immediately
related the strange appearance to his
wife, and the perturbation before expe-
rienced again overcame him, leaving
him unable to sleep all night. Early in
the morning came q telegram from his
brother at Ferrara stating that their
mother had been suddenly seized with
cerebral syncope the previous evening at
o'clock and had expired at midnight,
just as the Avvocato A. had seen the
black veil vanish into space"

The Worker and His Ideal.

All great successes, fancy, must be
surprises to the men who make them, for
the discomfort of the artist with his
painting, of the poet with his verse, of
the playwright with his play, is the pen
atty exacted by the ideal for which men
strive, and which all the more surely
eludes the greatest, whose imagination
is the most far reaching. When man
is satisfied with what he has done he has
reached his limit; from that point he
goes down hill, imperceptibly it may be
at first, but none the less sureiy.-Mary
&. Roberts.

The Time to kin Household Pests.

The warm weather is here and some
of the flies are already on hand. OF
course nobody will buy fly paper now
or kill off the flies that are about to be-
ly thought of in connection with insects
or vermin. The first flies, the first
reaches and the first rats are always al
lowed to increase. We are nation Of
bad housekeepers and are not improv-
ing.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

RESPlCE FINEM.

Look to the end: Nor changing tide,
Nor tickle breczes, should decide
The course we steer across the seas
That bear ear earthly destinies--
For him who shapes that course aright
The final, beckoning entrance light
Cleans with welcome doubiy bright;
The solemn tolling harbor bell.
To many but IL funeral knell,
For him re-echoes, "All is welll"
And waited to his grateful sense,
The home wind bears its frankincense,
With balm of conscience pure and free,
Myrtle of human sympathy,
Or laurel OF posterity.

The color of amber is of all shades,
from pale straw to deep orange. A spe-

golden wine of that name, was the most

ALIEN POVERTY.
Must Minnesotians Care For the
Poor of Other States?

During the greater part of the fall
season many Of the poor from South
Dakota, driven out of the state by a
failure of crops at home, have been
drifting over the western border of
Minnesota, to scatter out among the
settlements in state where the
crops were the largest that have been
known for years.
These people have gradually been
working their way to the eastward,
and while Mankato has so far seen
but few, more may be expected before
the winter is over.
A business man, referring to the
immigration, said this morning: "We
have poor of our own, all we can con-
veniently care for, and this thing
of turning ourselves into dumping
ground for the paupers of other
states is all wrong. These people were
pauperiZed in Dakota, either through
their own folly or through circum-
stances over which they had no con-
troll; but the fact remains that they
are needy and must be assisted by
charity to get through the winter.
While it is a matter of simple human
ity to aid them, it would seem only
right that the state that impover-
ished them should see that they are
fed and clothed.
"They will come here in droves if
some measures are not adopted to
keep them out, and if some means are
not quickly adopted to let them
understand that Mankato is no Castle
Garden, we will have to go into
our pockets to help them as well as
for our own poor this winter, to say
nothing about the charity patients Of
another commonwealth"

The Insurance.

Mr.. Mcconnell stated to a FREE
PRESS reporter that the stock was
valued at aboutl $4,000. He had
just received large invoice of holt
day goods which he intended to adj
vertise tomorrow. About $4,000 of
his insurance lapsed yesterday and he
still carries SIG, 000w worth; but it is be-
lieved this amount will not cover half
his loss. Dry goods stocks are the
most sensitive to damage by smoke,
and it is estimated that the added
damage by water will decrease the
value of the goods at least Is per cent.
Besides this is the loss of trade conse-
quent upon fire, upon which no in
surance company can take risks.
Mr.. Mcconnell is unable to even ap-
proximate his loss at present, aud the
store has been closed awaiting the ac-
tion of the insurance adjusters.

FOUND THEIR malta.
Two Little Girls Who Arrived Last
Night From Iowa.

A man unknown to Henry Himmel-
man stopped his buggy in front of
the City hotel yesterday afternoon
and two little girls, aged about 9 and
II years alighted. They remained
over night in the house.
The girls gave their names as HaW-
kins. Both were poorly clad, the
dress of one being out at the elbows.
The eldest was sick, and the high
fever with which she was afflicted
showed plainly in inflamed cheeks.
They told peculiar story. They
said they had come from Algona to
meet their mother who was stopping
at some hotel in the city. Their
father, they said, was dead. The
sick one had been i'll ever since she
left Algona, and that they had little
money was shown by the fact that
slept upon the seats in the waiting
ing room of the depot at the last
junction.
This morning Mr.. Himmelmen insti-
tuted diligent search for their
mother and she was found at the
Commercial house, where the eXpen'
es of the g iris had been paid for a
ew days.

"A farmer named Hickel ran
against the new humane officer Satur-
day night by leaving his team I'M
blanketed on the streets for nearly
three hours. Officer Sheldon took the
horses to the Minneopa barn, and Mr..
Hickel paid costs before he could go
home. Mr.. Sheldon says some of the
farmers who are trying to dodge the
humane laws hitch their horses on
Second street and 60 over on Front to
do their trading, believing the ami
mails will be unobserved. In this they
are mistaken, for the officer says some
arrests will be made on the former
thoroughfare when it is least ex-
pected.
George Maig's team, hitched to a
lumber wagon, managed at 500 o'clock
last night to worry the lines into the
trench, break loose from hitching
post in front of Sontag's hotel and
run down Washington street for three
blocks.

MCCONNELL SCORCHED
A Disastrous Fire at His
Store Today.
Breaks Out i'm the Basement i'm Some
Cotton Batting "A 100000. Stock
and $40, 1000 of Insurance Serious
Damage TO Stock.

Fire broke out at about 2:15 p. M.
today in some cotton batting in w.
w. p. McConnell's dry goods store,
and the stock has been seriously
damaged.
Smoke was seen issuing through the
floor of Nelson Weeds drug store ad-
joining, and he promptly turned in an
alarm.
The smoke puzzled the firemen. 1t
issued from the basement, from the
ground floor and from the second story,
all of which were occupied by Mr. Nc
Connell's stock, and for some time the
half dozen streams which played into
the building seemed to have little
effect in checking the progress of the
fire.
After an hours work the smoke be-
gan gradually TO subside, but the
water had done its work where the
fire had failed to reach. The water,
which stood an inch:deep on the Sec
ond floor, leaked through in dozen
