DEATH OF MRS. HARRIS.
She is Taken From Family and
Friends Tuesday.

| Seldom has more painful duty
devolved upon us than the penning of
these lines, announcing the death of
Mrs. Eva Boucher Harris, which &C.
cured at 7:45 O'Clock Monday +, lat
the residence on South Broad street.
While her friends have known that for
some days past she has been very sick,
| few were prepared for her death at
this time. Indeed it appeared up to
thirty-SiX hours previous to this morn
ing that the chances for her recovery
were favorable, as the fever had abat-
ed materially and the patients gen.
eral condition at that time seemed
much improved. Puerperal fever had
| followed the birth of Mrs. Harris
child three weeks ago next Wednes-
day, but had no complication set in,
she would probably have recovered.
Last Thursday morning the patients
respiration warned the nurse that her
lungs were not in their proper condi-
tion, and although everything possible
was done, congestion followed rapidly,
and the death this morning was the
result. The patient suffered very lit
tie pain at any time, and the end
came peacefully and as gentle sleep.
The babe is doing nicely.
The deceased was born at Airing
ton, ILL.,, and she would have been
twenty three years of age next Sep
TENDER 10Th. had she lived until then.
On the 9Th day of January, 1898, she
was united in marriage with Mr..
Charles Harris, and they Immediately
made their home in Mankato. She
was a lady beautiful in person and
character, and one who endeared her
self to all whom she met. Her death,
in the very bloom and freshness and
vigor of youth, with all the future
opening bright before her, and moth
ing wanting to ensure her perfect
happiness, casts gloom over the COM
munity which the returning sunshine
cannot dispell. The sympathy of all
will go out to the bereaved husband
and little boy. who will never know a
mothers affection, and to the afflicted
family, whose daughter and sister has
been taken from them at an untimely
period.
The deceased leaves a father.
| two brothers and one sister. The
| latter, Miss Ella Boucher, has been
residing with Mr.. and Mrs. Harris in
this city. One brother lives in St.
Paul, and an uncle lives in Spring
field, Ill. These have been telegraphed
to, and until heard from no arrange
ments will be made for the funeral.
Announcement of this will be made
later.

THE STORnS.

The past few days will be noted for
the severe storms which have swept
over the northwest and the great loss
of life and property accompanying
them. Iowa particularly has suffered
most severely, and many lives and an
immense amount of property has been
sacrificed The town of North Nc
Gregor in that state has been almost
completely wiped out of eXistence,a land
where the railway tracks were located
it is said to look as though tracks had
never been 10 existence. Illinois and
Michigan likewise have been great
sufferers. and loss of life in the latter
state is likely to reach one hundred.
While the storms were of a most
severe nature through Minnesota, and
some damage is reported in certain
localities from both wind and hail,yet
the havoc was insignificant beside
that wrought in adjoining states The
state has indeed had a fortunate es-
cape so far from the extreme fury OF
the elements.

PRISONERS PLEAD.
All But One Say They are Not
Guilty.

The prisoners were brought into
court Wednesday and, all pleaded
not guilty, except Arnold, who pleaded
guilty to the charge of tobacco steal
ing. Abbott was the only one not
brought into court. All were re-
handed.
A stay of forty days was taken in
the case of Amelia Seefeld, executor
of the estate of Wilhelmina Hubmer,
deceased, VS.. Herman A. Hubmer.
Late yesterday afternoon the jury
brought in verdict for the plaintiff
of S434.S0
The trial of the damage suit of
Joseph Sorg VS.. Geo. W. Allyn is pro-
crossing rapidly. The following jury
was secured: Chas. Wlrshing, Tostin
Kelly, John Shanahan, John Ander-
son, Alex Bashaw, ]. T. Mcnamara,
Peter Smith, Chas. Brandt, Joshua
Wigley, VIM. Meinkel, Jno. T. Lewis,
VIM. lehman.
Geo. W. Allyn, Edmund Shaw and
Fred Kermey were sworn, and then
the plaintiff rested. The suit hangs
upon statements in circulars for Sorg's
arrest, gotten out by Mr.. Allyn, and
newspaper interviews.
The defense put Sorg on the stand
and gave him scorching examina-
tiou. Thos. Burns, of Charles City,
Iowa, was next called, and disputed
some of Sorg testimony. The defense
is based on alleged Justification, and
it is endeavoring to prove true every
statement made by Mr.. Allyn. A
number of witnesses from abroad are
present to testify for the defense, in
Guiding several ladies.

went out and got $40 900. He brought this
in and dared the young gambler TO put up
his $4,000 on a single turn of the wheel
and to double it or lose. The Philadelphian,
however replied that he had got enough
and that he did not care to play any longer.
He took his money off with him to lose II,
in all probability, in some future game.
The majority of the gamblers lose in the
end. The percentage in every game played
here is in favor of the bank, and the most
of the games are swindles out and out.

There better jails than that of Cripple
Creek. The visit l paid TO the prison was
just before the fire. The marshal took me
to the police station, a building which
looked for all the world like the tower of
windmill boarded up. We passed through
this and at its back, in d. little shed, /
found the Jail. There were at least a dozen
prisoners, who We're Gagged up like so many
wild animals. The whole twelve were kept
inside of an iron framework made of two
inch bars crossed like a lattice work and
bound together so as to form two tiers of
cages, and so that you could look through
all of the cages at once. Each cage was
just about high enough for a man to stand
upright within it, and each contained from
two to three men. There was no chance
for seclusion or privacy for any one. All
were housed in together, and burglar and
a murderer slept side by side with two
foolish drunken boys who had raised a row
at a dance hall the other night.

The number of children which comprises
the wood hauler's family is uncertain, but
can be determined approximately at any
time by the following simple formula, viz:
Find the sum of his and his wife's ages and
divide this by ten. For example: Supposing
his age to be thirty-fve and his wife's thir-
ty, the number of children would be seven
and a half. and it is always safest to count
the fraction as an integer and say eight.
The only practical difficulty met in this pro-
cess is that the wood hauler is a little
vague to just how old he is.
OF the natural simplicity of their lonely
home life it is difficult to form an adequate
conception. Neither the wood hauler nor
his wife car read a single word. All the
news which reaches them comes on the
droning wings of gossip. Nor have they the
alternative of an active imagination Their
lives. their thoughts, even their very
dreams are thoroughly, hopelessly common
place. Yet while they are capable of little
true enjoyment their lot is peculiarly free
from pain. Their stern stolidity shields
them from a thousand fears and pangs,
which beset the more delicately organized,
and thus the barren monotony of their lives
is not without it's compensation. The SOL
itary stream which creeps along in silence
through the dim ravine knows not the
light and glory of the broad sky which
stoops above the ocean, nor has it any
knowledge Of the storms which sweep the
sea-
The wood hauler is mental recluse, a
relict of primeyal ages and living refuta-
ton of the theory of evolution for the
gentlest graduation could not place him
above one generation from the most ordi-
nary chimpanzee. E. O. LAUGHLIN.

Since General Grants visit to China in
1879 the Viceroy has kept up a casual cor
respondence with the Grant family. This
is due mainly TO the cordial relations ex-
isting between the wife of the Viceroy and
Mrs. Grant. The Viceroy gave dinner to
the General when he was in China, but it
was contrary to the customs of the country
to have Mrs. Grant attend it. BY way of
compensation the Viceroy sent her each
course to the consulate at the same time
ii was served at the dinner table.
Later on the wife of the Viceroy gave a
reception to Mrs. Grant It was the first
time that anything of the kind had ever
happened in the Empire. The wife of the
Viceroy lives in the greatest SecluSion. No
foreign lady had ever before been received
by her in her home. No men were invited
to this reception. When it was nearly over
the Viceroy appeared at the door of the
drawing-room and looked with amuse-
ment while his wife entertained Mrs. Grant
and other ladies-of the foreign colony
General Grant suggested that he would
like to accompany the Viceroy. but the

at the moment.
