ANOTHER OLD PIONEER GONE.

The Rev. r. Y. Jones, of Ottowa,
LIE Sueur county, passed quietly away
at his home of dropsy of the heart at
10 o'clock p. m. on Saturday, May
10Th, 1894
He was a man that was widely known
throughout the state of Wisconsin and
Minnesota, landing here in the thirties'
when the state was sparsely settled,
and religious opportunities in the way
of churches were confined to the few
log houses erected on the bleak
prairies of Butternut Valley, Cam
bria an Judson. He was man of eX-
emplary piety and devout christian;
an indulgent parent and a kind hus-
band. His remains were inferred in
the Ottowa cemetery, followed by a
host of friends from various parts of
Blue Earth county, the funeral pro-
cession being almost a mile in length.
Six ministers acted as pall-bearers.
Rev. Thomas Hughes, of Jordan,
preached his funeral sermon; subject,
''The Resurrection of Christ" showing
that as Christ conquered death and
arose triumphant from the grave, he
was able to raise all those who put
their trust in Him. Attic grave
few short remarks were made by Rev.
Edwards, of Lake Crystal, and Rev.
John Roberts, of Jordan, in relation
to the brevity of life and the import
ance of preparing for death. He leaves
wife and five children who deeply
mourn his loss. Deceased was born in
Wales, and was in his 76thyear.

THE HOME TRADE ASSOCIATION.

The convention which was called to
neet in Minneapolis yesterday to con-
slider the matter of home interests,
was largely attended and was also an
enthusiastic one for the object named.
Mr.. John Willard, of this city, was
chosen chairman of the temporary or
ganization, and was also elected presi
dent of the permanent association.
The gathering was addressed by va
rious delegates, setting forth the i'm
portance of the matter under con-
sideration. The permanent organiza
tion provides that the association shall
be known as the Northwestern Home
Trade Association, with the object of
promoting loyalty on the part of the
northwestern people to manufactured
products and sentiment of buying
all classes of merchandise from home
merchants. The managementis to be
vested in board to consist of one from
each town having five or more mem
berS of the association.
1t is also the intention to have local
associations formed, which will help
along the work of the general asSO-
citation. A great deal of enthusiasm
was worked up, and the meeting in
dicates that a vast amount of good
will be accomplished through it for
the northwest.
The election of Mr.. Willard
as president was a graceful compli-
ment to our fellow tOwnSman and will
prove most wise selection as he is
thoroughly interested in the object
for which the association was formed,
and will zealously labor to make it a
success.

DIR. Burroughs uypnotism Puzzles n

Last night At the residence OF Mr..
L A. Hinsdale. s15 East Second street,
DR.. A. c. Burroughs gave another ex-
hlbltion OF his spirituallstlc powers
the Superiority OF mind over matter
and again fairly puzzled all those pres
ent by his strange power over his sub
iects.
The first subject chosen from among
the small circle present ut was only a
private anair) was Miss Virginia VIII
son. 1t was Miss Wilson'S hrst ex-
perionce OF the power Of skilled hyp-
notlst. but the sensation Of happiness
that came to her as she moved in the
spirit kingdom and as she afterward
related. will prove Irresistible attrac-
ton to further influences Of the kind.
The doctor hal her completely In his
power from the first and carried her
10 scenes and realms where only those
Of his kind are ever admitted She
described perfectly everything that
came before her vision and shown by
the hypnotist.
The next was Miss Teenie Ongwhose
mind vas as plant in the power OF the
doctors Will AS Il string would have
been.
The third and last was Mr.. j.
~ hu'n0ukt WHO mus lItlutnliH btth
under DIR. Burroughs power and who
Is one OF his best subjects. He was
made, In n very few minutes, perfectly
rigid stretched across a space between
two chairs, and then, while all pres
ent fairly held their breath. DIR. Bur
rouRhs, who is n heavy man, weigh
ing nearly 200 pounds, stepped upon
his outstretched body about the mid
die. and his patient never once moved
a muscle.
When Mr.. Buchong was brought
back to the sphere In which most Of
us move he said that he had been
aware of what. was going on around
him and that Or. Burroughs' weight
amounted to no more. according TO his
feeling, than a feather.
