MOTHER MINIS DEAD.
Peacefully, After Years Of Suffering,
One OF the Dearest Mothers on
Earth Passes Awav.

OtS VI VIC al est "OSUtSVo OU
Earth Passes Away.
NIMs-Uied on Tuesday, July ., is95. at high
noon. Mrs, Prudence Lucinda Minis, wife OF
John Minis. aged 65 years, 10 months and -
days.
The death Of Mother Minis, which is
chronicled in the few lines above, has
not been unexpected by her relatives.
yet its very expectancy makes the s0r-
o. all the harder to bear. The de-
ceased was born as Prudence Lucinda
Foote in Homer, N. Y, on August 81.
1929. She resided at home until her
marriage on July 3, ls47, to John Minis
who still survives her. They lived At
Genesee and Rochester, in New York,
moving to Cook county, Illinois, in
1866, and arrived in South Dakota on
November IS, 1859. Here they have
remained, having been residents Of Elk
Point for seventeen years. Seven
children were born as the fruits Of the
marriage, four OF whom are living and
married. The living are Mrs. Kate
Bennett, Of Pine Ridge, and Mrs. S. G.
Thornton, Mrs. H. l.. Moore aud Mrs.
Nellie Morris of Elk Point. They were
all present at their mothers bedside
when she breathed her last.
In the death Of Mrs. Minis, Elk Point
loses one Of her big hearted IN
She possessed a lovely disposition, q
soul full Of charity, and, whoever the
Samaritan might be. Mother Minis
heart went out to him or her with that
fullness that nothing was left unturned
to ease their pain, if in pain they were.
Before the accident which befell her,
gripping her for life, every mother for
miles around, If sickness appeared in
the home. at once rushed to her for adj
vice and counsel in the hour OF trouble.
And always willing and ready to re-
spond to the call, Mother Minis won
for herself, without studied effort on
her part, q hold on the affections Of the
people that time or events cannot
efface or change. Her loss is every
body's loss, and while directly it falls
with sever force upon her big-heartad
husband and daughters, the whole
community mourns with them in their
bereavement. Seventeen years Of res.
idence in Elk Point, and, in all that
time, Mother Minis never had an en-
envy. S%iDgularly free from the frail-
tiles OF life, she performed the mission
Of a sister of charity ON earth, and it
ever there was u oma who won,
without Ostentation or show and with
Out effort, but by the aid OF a sympa-
thetic nature and genial Open-heartcd-
ness, Immortality, and a place in the
new Jerusalem, it was the w~hole-souled
Mother Minis. She will be missed by
us all, and to her husband and daugh-
tiers the sympathy OF the whole COM
munity is given.
The funeral took place today, the
attendance being very large.
A bright, blooming complexion comes
Of the good blood made BY using Ayers
Sarsaparilla.

NOT A GOVERNOR

The Chicago Inter Ocean says
Tennessee democrats seem to have
waited until after the election to
elect their governor" and adds.
"Wait and see how the people of
Tennessee like it. 1t is true that
the Tennessee democrats through
their representatives in tie legis-
lature, have elected their COVER
nor" But there is no governor in
Tennessee now unless the consti-
tuition of the state is point-blank
lie. The constitution of the state
says that the speaker of the senate
"shall," Yin the presence of major
| ity of the members of each house
of the general assembly, open the
returns that have been made out
by the sworn officers of the coun-
ties, and sealed up and sent to him
and, "shalP' publish then and that
the person receiving the highest
number of votes "shall be gov.
ernor."
This has not been done. No one
pretends that it has been done. Up
to the 18th day of January, Peter
Turnev was governor so taken and
accepted by republicans and DEM
ocrats. Since that time he is not
a constitutional governor; but only
a pretender. The democrats in the
legislature have kept him in the
executive Office by dint OF numer-
zeal strength, by force but under
the constitution he can never be
governor until ne has constituted
\ the election of H. Clay Evans and
nade PROF. that his majority, al
fe returns show, was obtained By
means of fraudulent votes, ant
until Evans and his friends have
/ failed to show that Turney did alst
receive fraudulent votes that were
counted for him in the returns re
ceived, opened and published b.
the speaker of the senate.
But the Inter Ocean says,, wal
and see how the people OF Ten
nessee like it," We don't have t,
wait. Thousands of democrat
have already spoken out, Al d ar,
still speaking out every day
Thousands of honest democrats il
Tennessee are asserting that tn
title of P. Turney, Esq, to tn
Office of governor which he nov
pretends TO hold is a fraudulent ii
+ tie and that though an ex-governo
he is no longer governor. TIL,
; democrats of Tennessee. only a few
of them, have elected "their gov
ernor" after the election. The ac
by which he became even pre-
tended governor was fragrant
!, violation of the precedents of
hundred years and of tn
plain language of the constitution
1t is repudiated by democrats out
side of machine circles as well a
! by republicans and populists ant
prohibitionists. p. Turney ESQ
never can be the lawful governo
again, until the provisions of tn,
provisions of the constitution hav,
been complied with and enforced

TO RECOVER THE MONEY
Some Insurance Companies
Will Not Lose on the
Fraker Policies.
Considerable of the Sums Obtain ed
by Heirs Has Already Been
Spent.

sKANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 10.-Robert
T. Herrick, the insurance lawyer who cap
tured DR.. George W. Fraker, the insurance
swindler, will file with the clerk OF the
United States Circuit Court an amend
ment to the bill in equity which the insur-
ance companies filed last week to recover
the money paid to the Fraker heirs. The
original bill asked for the return of such
money as the heirs had recovered from the
companies which fought their claim until
the February compromise.
1t now develops that the heirs have
spent a considerable portion of this money,
but that Judge Lincoln, the administrator,
has invested some $4,000, secured from the
Equitable and the other companies which
settled without fight. The Equitable
paid the heirs nearly $4,000 on two $4,000
policies rather than participate in the fight
made by the other companies, and is max
ing no effort to recover it. There is pos
sibility that the companies which made the
fight may recover all they paid out if
Judge Philips will order the benefciaries
to repay to them all they owe.
Mr.. Herrick estimates that the money
already tied up in litigation will be suf-
fcient to return to the companies which
made the fight in sums as follows: Kan
sas Mutual Life, $500 out of $4,000 paid
out; Hartford Life and Annuity, $4,000
out of $15, 600; Provident Savings Life and
Annuity, $500 out of $40. 900; and knights
of Pythias, $500 out of $4,000.

ALL WERE SUFFOCATED,
ReScuing Parties Unable to
Reach Men in the Burn
Ing Mine.
Among the Victims OF the Disaster
We're Nineteen Married
Men.

COLUMBIA, MICH. Sept. 10.-Ten miners
went down the southernmost shaft of the
Osceola mine this morning. The men
were especially selected among the fearless
and experienced workmen habited to
breathing powder smoke and foul air. The
party descended in the skip or iron car,
used in bringing up rock from the mine
to the twenty-fourth level, and managed
to press north on that level to within $50
feet of shaft 4, next south of the burning
one. At that point two of the party were
overcome by the gas, and, to save adding
fresh victims to the already long list, the
expedition turned back.
In shaft 1, at the outer end of the mine,
q similar attempt was made by carefully
organized party similar to the first, but at
a depth of only $50 feet down the shaft
smoke was met in such volume that it was
foolhardy to descend further and the min
ers quickly came to the surface.
The experience of the rescuing parties
in No. and No. 5, where the smoke would
naturally be met with in the least quanti-
ties, renders it certain that the entire mine
is now filled with it and cuts off the last hope
that the missing may have been able to
preserve their lives.
Resc uing parties will be sent down as
frequently as possible to test the condi-
ton. 1t will possibly be several days be-
fore the mine will be clear of smoke, even
if the fire has gone out, which is quite

CHALLENGES THE EDITOR.


A Fiery French Wrtter AnCt0Ms to Fight
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Sept. 10.-J. G.
Moffitt, news editor of the Cincinnati
Tribune, was challenged to fight duel
with swords by DR.. Charter, French
newspaper man. who once before created a
sensation in st. Louis by his aggressive
methods, and who had been connected with
the Tribune recently as q feature-writer.
A simple question of Judgment of pub
fishing news item, which Mr.. Moffitt had
turned down, was the occasion Of the
trouble.
Dr. Charter is vehement in his claims
that the affair is one of honor, and one of
two things only will heal his wounded
feelings He must have an apology or he
must have blood. A dispute arose be-
tween the two over the publication of an
article prepared by DIR. Charter, who
called at the Tribune office Monday even
ing and protested against the manner in
which his matter had been treated. Mr..
Moffitt quietly defended his position until
the doctor became so obstreperous that it
was found necessary to invite him to leave
the building. He wrote the following
challenge:
Mr.. Mo6ftt: The two gentlemen who are de-
livering this letter to you are in charge of q
little question Of honor. They will ask you
for an apology in writing unless yor chose to
act as a gentleman. With all the respect you
deserve, am, NJ. G. CHARTER.

DOWN IN EMBANKMENT.
Passengers Injured by the Derailmemt
of Coaches.


of Coaches.
GLENWOOD, MINI, Sept 10-Train
107 on the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie
and Pacific Railway had the narrowest
possible escape from an appalling disaster
between Belgrade and Brooten shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon. Miss Mary
Brand of Casselton, n. D., was, it is
feared, fatally injured, and ex-senator
Washburn received severe wound on the
head. The three rear coaches of the train
were derailed, two Of them rolling down
an embankment into a ditch. The acct
dent was precipitated by the breaking of
the forward axle of the dining-car.
Although Senator Washburn's wound is a
severe one, he will recover. Miss Brands
arm is broken, her back injured and it is
believed she has internal wounds of
grave nature. The negro porter on the
sleeper had his left hand crushed, and
several others were injured, though not
seriously. On the arrival of the train
here Senator Washburn and Miss Brand
were taken to the Parker House for medical
attendance. The train was only four feet
over high bridge when the accident
occurred
