ards US, are susceptible of easy man
agement under just regulations and
recognition of human rights such as we
are sure. to give them. In the earlier
Occupation it may be necessary to have
few regiments wholly American, but
this will not be for long.
We have excellent examples of what
may be done in this way in the case of
Great Britain. which equips her colon
les in the main with native troops.
France has done the same and SO has
! Germany. Still another consideration
| is that of financial order. The pay
of the private soldier in the United
States seems to us very small and
barely meets the necessities Of the SOL
dier, but to the natives of the new pos
sessions it is princely, compared with
what they now earn for hardest labor.
| A bill is before Congress granting
permission to private firm to raise
the wreck of the Maine and bring 1t to
the United States. Of course that is for
the. purpose of exhibition and money
getting. Let it not be done. Better
that the tomb Of our murdered dead re-
main where it is, than make it thing
of commerce. But American sentiment
will approve the excellent suggestion OF
the Alameda "Encinal," namely:
The ruins of the vessel should be
melted down and run into medals, and
these should be sold and the pro-
ceeds devoted to raising a monument
to the dead not only of that vessel, but
of the entire war which grew out of her
destruction There are about 70,O00,00
people in this country who would buy

A REMARKABLE MAN.
He Locates Copper Veins by a Pain
in His Foot.


There Is real novelty in the wonder line
liz Wisconsin. A carefully prepared
newspaper artical Is published from
Grantsburg, Burnett county, which
tells of an astonishing discovery OF cop
per veins in the county between Atlas
Postoffice. in Polk county, and Niger
Hill. in Trade Lake Town, Burnett
county. The Copperville Mining Com
pany Is reported to have begun the
sinking OF "a shaft seventeen miles
northeast of St. Croix Falls, and fifteen
miles southeast of Grantsburg, and ten
miles from the Minnesota State line. +"
The desirability of this well-defined To-
cation for copper mining purposes is
admitted to have been demonstrated in
an entirely original manner. 1t appears
from the story of the correspondent
that the Rev. Mr.. Fredin, OF Omaha,
Is unable to walk upon the ground
which conceals mineral without feeling
a tickllsh sensation in his right foot,
which grows stronger-presumably ac-
cordlng to the richness of the ore
passing up his body, through his shout
ders, to his left arm. If he has a wire
in his hand the force pulls him to the
ground. It is asserted, moreover, that
those who have tried to hold declare
that it is more than man muscle which
struggles with them, while those who
lave witnessed the facial contortions
credit the claim that he undergoes
great agony when discovery is made.
The remarkable powers of this Oma-
ha clergyman were first noticed in Swe-
den nearly twenty years ago, when he
traced the workings of a developed
mine simply by follwing his tlckled
feet
Some person may not be satisfied with
the assurance that the Rev. Mr.. Fredin
located one vein twice on one mans
farm, offered him $15, 900 for the prop
erty, and after his refusal to sell COM
pany was organized to develop the
mine. It will, prehaps, be asked how
the man who utilities his tick!ish feet
to discover minerals can tell whether
it Is copper Or iron which is concealed
beneath. Undoubtedly curious minds
will inquire what the Rev. Mr.. Fredin
has been doing with feet during the
twenty years since be discoved their
peculiar value to the world. Such
persons simply have no appreciation of
good thing when it Is brought to
them, and are ignorant of the resources
OF Burnett county in general, and OF
Grantsburg, Burnett county, in par
ticuIar.

"Mr. Gould and another railway
magnate were delayed for few hours

started to occupy the hours by making
a tour of their surroundings.
"They had not gone far before they
heard the mournful clang of an auc-
tioneer's bell, and came upon the
crowd of curious people surrounding
the seller. The anctloneer was crying
Fifteen hundred dollars! Fifteen hun
dred dollars! Am I offered more?
when Mr.. Gould touched a tall Texan
on the arm and asked him what the
sale was for.
"'Pard,' said the ranger, this be a
knockout for the parson.'
"'In what way?' asked Mr.. Gould.
"'You see, pard, the parson built
this church but the tin petered out,
and now the wood butcher Is selling

"Mr. Gould stepped up to the auc-

who was closing out his lien. The
auctioneer pointed out the man, and
Gould approached him and asked the
amount of his claim.

"sWhat will you take in settlement?'
asked Mr.. Gould.
"'IIl settle for fifteen hundred dol

contractor.

gave them to the contractor and took
his receipt in full, with the cancelled
lien. Just then an old man, who had
been an eye witness of the transaction,
going up to Mr.. Gould, said:
"'Stranger, what are you going to
do with the claim you've just bought
"Mr. Gould looked the man over in
that calm way he had, and asked why
he wanted to know.
"Why,' said he, I am the steward OF
the church. All of the members and
Sunday-school scholars are in the
church, with the presiding elder and
the pastor on their knees, praying God
to come to our help and save the
church.
"Mr. Gould said nothing, but, taking
the recelpted bill and Cancelled lien,
that he had in his hand, he gave them
to the steward, and turning toward the
depot walked rapidly back to his train.
"The steward entered the church,
now tree, and told the people what the
Lord had done, and they sang the dox-
ology on their knees. Then they went
out on the streets to find the stranger.
They soon found out that the little
man was none other than Jay Gould.

That labor on farms is scarce at GER
tain seasons is true, but the farm
does not offer an opportunity for en-
pIoyment to those who live in the
cities. Farmers really have no difficulty
in securing all the help desired, such
as it is, but the intelligent, experienced
farm laborer, who knows what to do
and how to do, Is not always found
when wanted. If farmer is compelled
to point out to his assistant everything
that is to be done it will be easier to do
the work himself than to have the
anxiety Of preventing mistakes by an
other.
