A RUMORED CHANGE.

An official of the Milwaukee rail-
road, who was in the city few days
ago, gave it out that it was likely
that the afternoon passenger train
from the east on the main line would
he soon scheduled to run into Manka-
to instead of passing through wells
for Jackson. If this were done, IL
would arrive in this city at about SIX
o'clock, or nearly three hours earlier
than the branch train from Wells. LII
would leave at about 9:l5 a. m. for
Chicago, or three hours later than the
branch train. This would do away
with the long wait which passengers
have to make at Wells in order to
make connections for MankatO or
Chicago. The branch train would
make connections only with the other
through train. Such a change as this
would allow Chicago passengers to
reach Mankato in three hours less
time and do away with trou blesome
transfer. We believe that this would
work to the advantage OF the road.
The Milwaukee road has not been
backward in making changes that
would accommodate Mankato mer-
chants, and we believe that it will
find it to it's interests to make the
proposed change.

1t is said that story is being Cir
culated in Nicollet county calculated
to injure Benton Severance, who is a
candidate for representative. The
story is that Mr.. Severance favors an
neXing Belgrade or North Mankato to
this city. We have not heard
whether Mr.. Severance favors this,
but if he does it ought not to injure
him, as the manifest destiny of North
Mankato is to be joined to Mankato,
and when it is done will be merely a
matter of time. The time has pro-
badly not yet come when this should
take place, as the people on neither
side of the river are yet ready for
this. No intelligent man in Nicollet
county should blame Mr. Severance if
he takes the broad view of the matter
that he is credited with.

n rreceaent N nnpens corpus.

CENrER, Tex, Sept. 22.-At the
last term Of the district court at this
place Tom Oliver was tried and con-
victed Of arson and given 4 sentence
of seven years in the State penitentiary.
Ills lawyers have now made applica-
tiN1Nto The supreme court for habeas
d hea4iaae, claiming. that the
client Was being y vfully held. and,
notwithstanding the fact that he has
been tried and sentenced to the pen
itentiary, he has been granted ha-
beas corpus trial The grounds upon
which the habeas corpns trial was
granted were that, as Judge Polly
was sick, Judge Drury Field was
elected special Judge at the opening of
court, but during court Judge Polly
was able to be on hand and OBLIGATED
in some of the cases as Judge, and
after this Judge Oliver was on the
bench and tried Oliver without being
reelected by the bar as special judge.
It's claimed that this is the only case
where habeas corpus trial was
granted a prisoner after his trial and
sentence TO the penitentiary.

and a Winchester. On the road they

Bosworth and Brady had been on

flash Burris and the two Buffers
pulled their guns and the firing began.
The horses attached to the wagon in
which Bosworth and Brady We're in
became frightened and ran at a terri
BILE speed up the road about one mile
and stopped at the house of Bradly's
father, where Bosworth was found
dead in the wagon and Brady NOR

shots were fired. Neither Burris nor
the Buffers were hit. 1t is thought
Bosworth and Brady must have been
drinking, as neither of them knew
old man johnson. No cause can be
assigned for the attack on johnson
except they were desperate and wanted
gore.

Presence of mind in case of danger
is rare attribute, and is usually
accompanied by extreme quickness
to appreciate all points in situation.
Perhaps the most remarkable in
stance of GOODNESS under danger and
whereby danger was averted. is told
of the earl of Berkeley, who was
aroused in his carriage by a highway
man, who suddenly presented pistol
at his head and demanded his money,
at the Same time remarking that he
had heard his lordship boast that no
single highwayman would ever be
able to rob him, but he was now to
be taught differently His lordship
put his hand in his pocket and coolly
replied, Neither should / now be
robbed were it not for that fellow
looking over your shoulder The
highwayman involuntarify turned
his head, and that instant Lord
Berkeley shot him, so that he was
at once unable to do any damage.
Few men would have thought quick
ly enough to get themselves out of
such dangerous position as this.

Girls Who HypnOtiZe.

Two pretty girls sat opposite me at
luncheon the other day, two healthy,
hearty, rosy, daintily dressed creatures,
who are very pretty disciples of Mesmer
and understand the force of hypnotic
suggestion. When the meal was over
and we slipped our coffee in the drawing
room, these sisters gave an exhibition
of their powers quite terrible to see,
since some of their manifestations We're
really inexplicable. They found and re-
placed in selected spot in my head a
hairpin I had secreted between the leaves
of a book, and they came and went from
wide eyed dreaminess to active intelli-
gence as easily as I pass in and out a
door. They are two young English girls
who have made of mind reading and
mesmerism study and a livelihood.
They are the daughters of clergyman,
we'll bred and refined, and receive so
much to come to a luncheon and exhibit
their powers after. For compensation
they will put one into gentle mesmeIic
trance that one may experience the
strange sensation, Or they will use hyp-
motto influence Oh each other, and the
one under the spell will do all sorts of
interesting things by her sisters silent
mental suggestion. -Demorest' Maya
