We regret that Mr.. H. G. Hays, of
the Sleepy Eye Dispatch, is having
trouble over the issuing of his paper.
Mr.. Hays stood by his friends royalty,
and they should be the first to fly to
his assistance in the time of trouble.
The mistake he made in supporting
them should call forth the assistance
all the quicker.

1t will probably be the last excellent
opportunity. To not make a struggle
now might forever blight the hopes of
getting the road where it belongs in
Redwood Falls.

Gifted when it's trains run through
this city. But Redwood Falls will be
benefited a great deal more when the
engines of that company pull their
loads in and out of the town. It will
double its population inside of three
years, and make it one of the best CT
ties in Minnesota. This, with the min
eral prospects for next spring, will
create boom with stable founda-
ton. The benefits will be immense in
more ways than one.
This is the time for concerted action
on the part of all interested in the
welfare of the city. There should be
no discord but every man should be
ready to put his shoulder to the wheel
and lend whatever aid possible. No
city has ever secured valuable insti-
tuition without aiding it in location,
and this city should be ready and
willing to extend aid to the St. Louis,
whenever it offers to run it's line
through it's limits. Let action be TAX

ST. LOUIS. May 30.-Seldom has q
grander race been seen than the Msmo-
rial handicap run today at the lair
grounds before 5000 enthusiastic people.
And it was Ray SIS race by little more
than an ey clash. The journey was battle
from start to finish and none was ever
harder fought. Indeed, perhaps none
but an Overton could have taken the
money from Yo Tambien. The betting
closed at to on the fsvorte, Ray s.
and Linda being coupled at this quota
ton, with 70 Tambien carrying the
larger share of the talents money at the
same figure. Service was next at to l,
with Soundmore close on at 6 to L. CHS
wick and Pellin were 10 to /, and Logan
at 20 to l. The field got off to a
good start with Ray 8. leading,
Chiswick second; Soundmore third.
Down past the wire to the first quarter
they went easily, Logan showing his
head. Here Yo Tembie began to work
little harder, and at the half was IN
the lead, Chiswick second and Wild
wood third, little more than a head
apart. Overton was saving his mount.
At the quarters Overton had begun
to show the effect of his previous easy
riding. Ray S. came into the lead
strong and moving easily, Yo Tambien
being but head behind. Chiswick
and Soundmore were fighting hard for
third place. So they ran into the
stretch, Chris Smiths brave mare gain
ing inch by inch. Close to the wire
they came. Closer and closer came the
mare, but the wire was reached and Ray
S. was in the lead by the scantiest OF
noses not six inches separated the two
animals. In the meantime Soundmore
moved up and beat Chiswick for third
place.
In the club member handicap on Sat-
urday Williams will probably have the
mount on Yo Tambien.
The weather today was clear and the
track fast.

half Married For Half an Hour.

At Dunmow parish church the we'd
ding Of coal porter with young
woman formerly employed at the vicar
age was interrupted in curious man
ner. The bride and groom were kneel-
ing at the chancel steps for the first part
of the ceremony, and as they rose to go
to the communion rails to complete the
rite the best man, probably thinking it
was all over, hurriedly snatched kiss
from the bride in accordance with an
old custom which is still observed in
many country towns. The officiating
clergyman, the Rev. c. @. Matters, Gu
rate in charge, was most indignant at the
proceedings and ordered the wedding
party to leave the church for half an
hour. The partially married couple lin
gered about the precincts for that period
of time, when the offended clergyman
returned, and after admonishing the
best man, who was the BRIDES brother
in-law, for his levity in interrupting
the service in the manner he had he
proceeded to finish the CEREMONY

Ancient Musical Instruments.

In the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in New York city there is an interesting
collection of must cal instruments Of all
nations, many Of which belong to past
centuries They lie silently in the glass
cases The strings of mandolins and
lutes that made sweet music in days
gone by are broken and twisted, and
the fingers that once swept them have
passed away, but still the air seems
trembling with melody. Imagination
pictures the banquet hall, the summer
nights when the troubadour sang songs
under his ladylove's window, or the
Bedouin camp in the desert, where the
flute and guitar were played during the
evening hour of repose. There are in
struments here of all characters-rude
violins and banjos fashioned by savage
hands, and dainty Tyres inlaid with gold
and mother of pearl, instruments which
have played their part in ancient cere-
monies in faraway India and China, in
the castles of the middle ages and in the
African wilderness 1t is interesting to
note that all nations have tried to make
instruments to please the eye as we'll
as to produce sweet sounds. The stringed
instruments and flutes of savage racez
are often grotesque and even ugly to
civilized eyes, but the poor savage did
his best. He carved his instruments as
we'll as he could and also adorned it
with whatever precious trinkets he had
in his possession. fl S. Conant in st.

PARIS, May 30.-This being the ami
versary OF the death of Joan of Arc, dep
utations from several Masonic lodges
today placed a large floral wreath upon
the statue of the Maid OF Orleans in the
rue des Eirsmides. The wreath was
inscribed: ITO Joan of Arc; Abandoned
by Royalty. Burned by the Church."
The inscription caused a riot. The
wording was seen by numbsr of young
Catholics, who gathered in body and
made dash for the statue. The Masons
had in the meanwhile resssembled, and
when the young Catholics removed the
wreath and tore down the inscription
there was free fight between the Ma
sons and Catholics, during which sticks
were freely used. Finally the police
charged upon the combstants and dis.
persed them after making number of
arrests.

He had lately removed from Randolph

He suffered several weeks from various

at his bedside, one Of whom was his
SON, saw him draw, apparently, his last
breath and sink into the unconscious
ness of death. The body was taken
charge of by his friends, washed and
dressed in the customary shroud and
laid out in the parlor. An hour or two
later the few friends seated in the room
with tho corpse noticed slight twitch-
ing of the fingers of the deceased. They
were somewhat startled, but did not
lose their self possession and fee from
the room, as is ordinary under such cir
cumstanoes Instead they repaired ia
the side Of the doctor and watched him
closely. Then a movement of almost the
entire body was noticed--a slight con-
vulsion, in fact. Then two pieces of
money that had been placed over the
eyes of the dead man fell off, and he
made an effort TO open his eyes. This
satisfied those gathered around him that
life was stin within tho remains, and
the body was tRuiderly carried back to
