concerning her two daughters, Amelia
and Annie. who went to La Crosse sew

The mother has heard nothing from

VINO fears something may have hap

The girls went to La Crosse in an

correspondence with a widower of the
Wisconsin town, who, Mrs. Felt says,
represented that he would employ one
OF the girls as his housekeeper and
would also get work for the other. The
girls went away three weeks ago. They
wrote to their mother and friends reg

What is the Buddhist way to salvation
Summarized. it IS as follows: There are four
great truths. First. misery accompanies ex
istence; second al forms of existence result
from passion; third. there Is no escape from
existence except the destruction OF desire:
fourth. this may be accomplished by follow
ing the four-fold way to Nirvana. Then
follows the four-fold way. First, freedom
from evil desire; second. from ignorance
third, from doubt; fourth, from unkindness
and vexatiOn. As reward Nirvana Is
reached. This is not heaven nor a future
state, but a condition in this life OF perfect
system of morality without a spiritual side
1t holds a pesslmistic view Of life Chris
tianity IS optimistic. Christ preached a 9os-
pei of hopefuIness. Buddhism has no con-
ception OF sin for while it talks in a mystic
way of "Karma," by which il means the
demerit of man. II has no definite idea an
our accountability to God. The incarnation
and atonement are wanting for II is the con
seriousness OF sin that makes an atouement
a necessity. Buddhism encourages medits.
ton. but has no place for prayer. This IS
quite to be expected in system that leaves
Gcd out. Neither does II express q belief In
the supernatural The Gospel writer's are
careful 10 record of Christ thatHe went
about working miracles. The historic church
has always held that the supernatural Is one
Of the marks OF the divine origin of Chris
tianity. The most serious defect of Buddhism
is its silence upon the immortality Of the
soul What would Christianity be without
its glorious utteFances concerning the GER
tainty of the future life? Buddhism in It's
day was a thousand times better than n.
gross Hinduism that preceded It, It is aIse
better than the agnosticism and atheism of
our day. But the comparison fails when We
place this Indian philosophy by the side ~
the simple gospel of Christ
Reformers and teachers have come and
gone attracting and influencing ths minds ~
multitudes They have been lights in Their
day, but their lamps went out in darkness

In addition to the selection Of l.. A.
Rosing for private secretary and the
probable appointment Of Gen. E. NJ.
Pope as public examiner and superin-
>4endent Of banks, the following may be
taken as pretty reliable prognostica-
lions as to sumo of the other appoint
ments of Gov-elect Lind:
Julius J. Heinrich, of Minneapolis,
to be state oil inspector
Zenas II. Austin, of Duluth, TO be
insurance commissioner
1t may also be set down as pretty
certain that Louis Nash, Of this city,
will not be the next labor commission
er
Gov.-elect Lind's policy is said to be
generally that the men who have
fought the campaigns Of the last few
years, contributing of their time and
energy and means to the battle of the
allied parties, should be, where COM
Datible with a sound business admin
istrati0n, given places where they can
at once reap a reward for their fealty,
and render valuable assistance to the
head of the administration.
Julius J. Heinrich, the prospective
oil inspector, is a scion of one of the
oldest and most substantial German
families in North Minneapolis. He has
been more or less active in political
affairs in his own city all his life, but
his only previous office holding was a
term as register of deeds in Minneap-
oils in 1891 and 1892. At the close of
his term of office he engaged in the
laundry business with George E. Led
gerwood, his contemporary as county
auditor, since deceased. In 1896 Mr..
Heinrich was nominated for secretary
of state and defeated, but he accepted
the nomination again this year and
made a hard run against long odds, his
opponent having spent the greater part
of the last two years In a continuous
canvass Of the state for denomination
and reelection. Mr. Heinrich's buSi-
ness record is a worthy one, and he
represents a class which will not have
the effect in Spain or anywhere else
of creating the impression that Min
nesota has fallen into the hands of
either anarchists or robbers.
Zenas II. Austin is a more recent en-
try in the field Of state politics. He
was formerly principal Of the Duluth
high school, but, during the boom in
Duluth, resigned to engage in the real
estate and insurance business, in
which he amassed a considerable for
tune. He has had considerable ex-
perience as an actuary, and Is well
fitted by this experience for the posi-
ton to which Gov-elec Lind is said
to have him in mind OF late Mr.. Aus

ment of some local and wider evils. He
