The placing of Andree in the Tussaud
wax works exhibit at Marylebone, Lon
don, is a signal that the explorer has
been given up for good, and that his
friends have accepted him for lost. That
the public so regards him is shown by
the fee which they pay at all hours Of
the night and day to behold his coun-
terfeit presentment
When Andree sailed away in his bal
loon on July II, he expected to cross
the pole in few hours and at most
to be gone not over three days. He took
with him no provisions for long stay;
and when the days heightened into
weeks and weeks into months the world
gave up all hope of him. To a friend
he said: "If l am gone six months you
may give me up, for shall not survive
as long as that in my balloon"
OF late even the most hopeful friends
of Herr Andree have despaired, and
when the Tussaud exhibition made
preparations to get him up in wax the
public shook it's head and said: Hes
gone"
In wax-figure exhibitions it is seldom
that a living person, outside of the royal
family, is shown. The minute Carnot
was shot he became immortalized in
wax, but had he been ever so great dur
ing his life he would never have seen his
presentment in the waX-statue gallery.
The figure of Andree and his COM
panions is one of the most beautiful
ones ever made. 1t is nearly life-size,
and the entire lower part of the balloon
and the whole of the car are seen. An
dree and his two companions are wav-
ing their hands with a peculiar look
of expectancy upon their faces. Even
the colors Of the clothing are exactly
reproduced Froenkel is in gray and
Andree and Strindberg are dressed in
blue All have collars turned UP around
| their throats.
To make the picture more complete a
| balloon was obtained from a celebrated
| firm of balloon builders who built it to
resemble that used by Andree in every
| way even to the pigeon cage tied upon
the side and the floats to be set adrift.
Several photographs of the balloon
were taken at the time it sailed, and
these were used in modelling the ex-
hibit. Andree and his companions were
moulded from photographs of them
selves taken previous to the flight.
One of the reasons for the giving up
of the Andree party was a letter writ
ten by a famous scientist, d. M. Crich-
ton Somerville, of Christiania, who, in
scientific document to a London So
ciety, said:
"It has been represented that Andree
had been able to make such provision
for himself that he and his companions
were living in comparative comfort on
their Arctic journey. A picture has
been given of a compact little dwelling

TO CHANGE OCEAN CURRENTS
Russian Engineer Proposes to Divert
the Course of Arctic Ocean

At Vladivostok, a prominent Russian
port and the terminus of the Siberian
railway, for over four months of winter
the port is blocked up with ice, render
ing shipping traffic impossible. For
many years the Russian authorities
have been endeavoring to overcome
these natural difficulties, and some time
ago ice breaking ships We're introduced
to break open the ice, an operation, how
ever, which has proved practically use
less. 1t is now reported that "a GER
tain engineer" has proposed plan for
reclaiming the narrowest part of the
Tartar strait between Saghalien and the
Russian mainland. The theory of such
an undertaking is that, if this is done,

sea from the Arctic via Bering strait,

Civilized humanity, particularly of
the modern variety, demands home

the means at command will secure, and
at the same time as artistic exteriors
as possible. This latter feature is not
always matter of added cost, but of
good judgment on the part of the archi-
tect. Nobody undertakes to build in
these times without his services.
Old Dutch buildings of the early days
of New Amsterdam were often built
with shingled gables, and in some cases
the entire outer wall was so covered.
These break up the sometimes too hard
monotony Of the fixed lines, and lend
themselves SO readily to the improving
effect of stains as to secure for a build
ing, where they are judicously used q
very artistic appearance at the mini
mum cost. This method has been quite
popular for some years, especially in
lral or suburban localities, and usually
gives the owner satisfaction.
The application of this idea to the
house shown in the engraving this week,
while not especially novel, is very hap
PLY fitted to the design and adds much
to it's simple beauty. The whole of the
second story is so covered, including the
gables, and with a simple, plain cornice
to separate it from the shingled roof,
which should be Of different but harmon

THE OTTO MURDER.
Incidents Concerning the Renvllle
County Mystery.
From the OliUiG Press.

O'~S'S~
Probably there has been no crime
in this part of the State attracting SO
much attention and at the same time
that there has been so unsatisfactory
a solution of as the Otto murder,
which occurred near Morton a few
years ago. The case has been up be-
fore three grand juries, but each time
the suspected parties have failed to be
indicted. But public interest has by
no means wholly departed from the
case and not few people have
charged pub ic officials ofithe county
with willfully neglecting their duty
and haye even gone SO far as to at
tempt to have County Attorney Miller
indicted for accepting bride for sup
pressing evidence that would tend to
establish the guilt of the parties sus-
pected of the murder. County At
torney Miller happened to be in a
reminiscent turn of mind a few even
ings ago and interested a group of
listeners with the following facts con-
corning the case, which probably the
general public are unfamiliar with:
Mr.. Miller said that for three
months Immediately after the murder,
when the people throughout the coun
try were FESTIVE because apparently
no action was being taken on the part
of the authorities to fathom the
mystery, he spent all his time and had
three detective agencies, among them
being Pinkerton's, working on the
case. During this time considerable
evidence of a circumstantial nature
was gathered, but the principal link
in the chain, namely the motive, was
missing. The bottle containing the
poison, which was administered to the
man, was found in an out house, but
the weapon with which he was shot
was never found, Notwithstanding the
dilligent search which was made for
it in wells, cess pools aud out of the
way places.
There has been more money and
time spent on the case than the peo-
pie generally have any idea of and if
the parties who were under arrest had
had public trial it would have re-
suited in an acquittal and cost the
county many thousand dollars, 1t is
question which time alone can solve
whether the perpetrators of the daster-
ly murder of the old man Otto, who
was first given enough poison to kill
dozen men and then shot twice, will
ever be brought to justice.
The Otto homestead has been sold
and Mrs. Otto has retired to a farm
near Franklin and lives alone, rumor
has it that she lives the life of a
recluse and is almost unapproachable
to strangers.

WAR FOR FREEDOM.
Results of Three Years of
Fighting.
From the NelU York Sun.

During the three years of
their war, from Feb. "a, 1895,
down to Thursday last, the
Cubans have endured more
sufferings and displayed more
heroism than any other people
have ever done in a struggle
for liberty. In the face of ire
mendous odds-without the
help of a friendly power abroad,
without even military training,
their army being composed
principally of volunteers, with
out a regular supply of arms
and ammunition, with very
little money, and, what is a
disadvantage even graver, with
the official hostility of every
Government, including the ma
tons nearest their shores they
have nearly exterminated 200,
600 Spanish soldiers, the most
powerful European army ever
sent to the American continent;
and neither fire nor sword nor
fair promises of better govern
ment have been powerful
enough to make them agree to
a peace not based on their alb
solute freedom from the hated
yoke of Spain.
If history does not afford a
parallel of the stern resolution
displayed by the Cubans to die
or to win in a struggle with all
the odds against them, neither
does it present a case of stub
born resistance to justice and
human rights, and of barbarous
cruelty which equals the record
of Spain in Cuba. The eighty
years OF war for liberation car
ried on against Spain in the
Netherlands are notComparable
with the struggle in Cuba. That
was principally, a war of re-
ligion in the sixteenth century,
a time of monarchial oppression
and religious fanaticism. This
is a war of determination, for
no religious, no political prin
ciple whatever, but only to re-
duce by force to the sway of a
rapacious Government an
American colony that has every
right to be free.
These three years of war to
the death form but a brief chap
ter in the history. of Cuba's
struggles. Since early in this
century their noble aspirations
for liberty have cost the Cuban
/ streams of blood shed by the
Spanish tyrant. The list of Gu
ban martyrs who died for their
cause on the scaffold or in ex-
lie long before the first military
attempt against Spain, in 1S49,
would fill many pages. In 1850
Gen. Narisco Lopez, after some
ephemeral victories, was final
ly defeated, caught and CARROT
ed in Havana. But, his exam
pie no more than that of Pinto
and Estrampes, executed as he
was in the capital of Cuba, was
not lost to the patriots. On Oct.
10, 1868, after eighteen years of
turbulence and constantconspi-
racies, a formidable revolution
broke out in Yara, which lasted
ten years. IF peace was signed
in 1878, it was only for a truce
in the terrible contest. Spain
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-03-24

was not going to keep her pro-
misses of justice, and the Gu
bans would not accept the ever
lasting rule of Spain. The year
1895 brought new and for
midable revolt. If during the
three years of war which have
elapsed, since then the Cubans
have not given evidence enough
of their uncompromising stand,
the history of their past upris-
ings will suffice to prove that
peace and prosperity are i'm
possible in the neighboring
island SO long as the flag of
Spain waves over Moro Castle
in Havana.
The present revolution was
organized by Jose Marti, a Gu
ban exile in this country and a
man of genius and courage. He
organized here what is called
the Cuban Revolutionary Party
an association of clubs Of Gu
ban political exiles, for the pur-
pose of raising money to free
their country. Poor as were
the majority of the few Cubans
who lived in the United States
before the beginning of the re-
volution, they listened to the
eloquent appeals of Marti and
gave him all they had on earth
to liberate Cuba from Spain.
Marti was appointed delegate
of the party, and his faithful
friend Benjamin J. Guerra, was
made treasurer. There was not
much money then in the safes
of the afterward famous unta
and their funds were soon ex-
hausted by an unsuccessful
attempt to start an expedition
from the South. But MART had
obtained the cooperation of
Gen. Maxine Gomez and Gen.
Antonio Maceo, two veterans of
the last war. He knew that the
discomfort against Spain was
deep throughout the island. He
had important connections
with conspirators in all the
provinces. He gave without
hesitation the orders for the
uprising and went to Santo Do
1ningo, to join Gen. Gomez and
take with him the field.
At that grave and decisive
moment the total funds of the
patriots amounted to not much
more than $4,000. It is Won
derful that with a sum, COM
paratively speaking, so paltry
for so great purpose, war
should have been raised which
has cost Spain up to this time
besides the sacrifice of so many
of her soldiers, $25O,0OO,OOO and
has caused to the United States
a net loss in trade and business
of $3OO,OOO,OOO.
On May 10, 1895, Marti was
killed in the engagement at
Dos Rios, but his work had al
ready been done. He had landed
on April II with Gen. Gomez at
Sabana la Mar, on the southern
coast of Cuba, after issuing at
Monte Cristi a revolutionary
manifesto, and had had time be-
fore his death to convoke the
representatives of all the Cuban
provinces to general assembly
to elect Provisional Govern
ment and frame Constitution.
If this was not done until later,
in September of the same year
at the town of Jimaguayu, it
was not the less true that from

SUICIDE OF HENRY BRONSON
PARTICULARS OF THE ACT OF
sELF-DESTRUCTIoN.
He Was Mentally Unsound, and In
the Seclusion of a Tunnel Cut His
Throat With Razor.

AT an inquest held yesterday at Ar
genta by Justice Henry r. Stevenson
over the remains of Henry Bronson, the
fact was developed that the deceased
cut his throat with a razor late Friday
afternoon, while temporarily insane. It
appeared from the evidence that while
John 2. Olson, Bronson'S employer, had
gone for the mail, the insane man went
into the tunnel and there committed the
act of self-destruction.
On June IA last, Henry Bronson, who
was then employed as cook at the Reed
and Goodspeed tunnel, up Big Cotton
wood canyon, was tried in this city for
insanity, but the evidence was INSULT
cient to warrant his commitment. Since
then he has periodically been very ner-
voUS from drink, and in many ways
has shown that he was mentally unbal-
anced. Only last Monday he drove out
to the mine from this city with a
WagOn-load of provisions for the win
ter, and even at that time, his friends
were appTehensive Of his condition.
Bronson was a Norwegian OF splendid
education and Well-to-dO family con-
nections. He was 90 years of age and
had no relatives in this state, but his
friends in Salt Lake and in Big Cotton
wood district were numerous.

MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

Bv the Senators.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The sub-com-

merce, appointed to investigate the
floods in the Mississippi under the res
olution of April 2, 1897, and to make
recommendations for their prevention

practically agreed upon the form Of
the report to be made to the full COM
mittee. The subcommittee presented
the results of it's labors in a printed
volume of over 500 pages, giving the
testimony taken, together with several
maps and illustrations pertinent to the
work in hand.
The committee furnishes much prac-
teal information, and gives some in
teresting conclusions, but makes COM
paratively few recommendations. They
discuss the reservoir and outlet system,
and conclude that both are impractic-
able for the prevention Of oVerflo%Es on
q big scale. The conclusion is reached
that the improvement of South Pass TO
the extent necessary to render it deep
enough to accommodate the largest

of the expense, and the opinion is indi-
Gated that a southwest pass opens the
only feasible deepwater outlet to the
sea. No recommendation is made for
legislation looking to the Improvement
of this waterway.
