At the NEE ting of the Odd Fellows
of No. Is, Monday, the question
Of making an effort to secure the 10
cation of the proposed Odd Fellows
home in Mankato was pretty freely
discussed. The committee appointed
Hs the meeting a week ago laid the
matter before the members as best it
could, The requirements of the
board Of directors, representing the
grand lodge, were read and discussed,
and while the opinion among several
prevailed that the prize was worth a
vigorous effort on the part of local
members of the order, the prepon-
1erance of sentiment expressed was
b. the effect that the undertaking
was greater one than could be car.
ned through with hope for success.
AS result of the elaboration the
committee was relieved of further eff.
forts and the project will be abandon
ed 80 far as No. Is is concerned.

The police were informed this
morning that an insane man had
been found in Mankato township and
was being held. He was bare footed
and had tin pail. AS it was outside
of the city limits, the police turned
the case over to the sheriff, who went
out to investigate. The supposed il :
sane man turned out to be weak
minded young man who resides in
this city, and the sheriff returned
him to his home.

Lorin Cray's chances for going in as
non-partisan judge are now said to
be good. 1t seems likely that the
Democrats will either endorse him or
let the matter 60 by default. The
Sixth judicial district1has had no poll
tics in it's judiciary so long that it
would be unfortunate to bring it in
at this time. The new election law
requires certain form to be carried
out in order for candidate to get on
the ticket, but because of complying
with this, the Republicans cannot be
accused of introducing partisanship
into the matter. If the Republicans
are conceded the office, there is no
other way of getting Republican on
the ticket than by complying with
the statutes.

For Congress...Dark Horse For
Sheriff.

Evan Hughes has received a COM
mission from Gov. Clough appointing
him special judge of the municipal

The appointment was unsolicited by
Mr.. Hughes, and is to fill out the un-

upon to serve at any time by the alb

Judge Severance, while in Faribault
county last week, was urged to be.
come a candidate for Congress on the
Democratic ticket, and was promised
strong support IN the convention. He
has decided not to allow his name to
be used, however, and would not &C.
cept the nomination under any cir
cumstances. With Judge Severance
on the Democratic ticket, the CAM
paign would be much more interest
ing than it is likely to be. Thus farf
no one has been found who is willing
to go up against Congressman Nc
Cleary. The Democratic convention
meets Aug. 10th, and unless some
willing victim offers himself soon the
party may have to let the office 90 by
default.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Railroad builders say the building
this year will be mainly for the pur-
pose of developing lumber tracts, coal
mines and other freight-making dis
tricts. -
-Laborers are fiocl1ing to Liberia to
work ON the great Liberian railway.
This is the route that will play havoc
with the eastern question, destroy the
usefulness of Constantinople as the key
to Europe and enable Americans to go
to the Japan sea in II days.
A very low temperature, 400 de-
grees below zero, has been shown to
have d remarkable effect upon the color
of many bodies. The brilliant scarlet
of vermillion and mercuric iodide is
reduced, under its influence, to a pale
orange, the original color returning
with the rise of the temperature. Blues
are unaffected by cold, and the effect is
comparatively small upon organic COL
oring matters of all tints.
The movement for the industrial
education of the southern negroes is
about to be advanced by the building
y
the special employment and instruction
of negroes in this line of work. It is
being built by W. c. Coleman, a wealthy
colored man, and will be the first cot
ton mill in the country to employ col
ored operatives, although there is a
spinning mill at Columbia, S. c., where
they are employed.
In so dry region as central Austria
liza frogs are found in fair numbers,
creeks and claypanS ''swarming" with
them. AS the waters dry up the frogs
disappear in their burrows, remaining
till the rains come again. Certain spe-
cies of them,' says Spencer, gorge
themselves with water before they go
into their retreats, and in times of
drought the natives dig them out and
obtain enough water from their bodies
to satisfy their thirst.
1t appears that as the earth be-
comes overpopulated all men must be-
come vegetarians. 4 recent estimate
shows that % acres of land are neces-
sary to sustain one man on fresh meat,
while the same area, if devoted to wheat
culture, would feed 40 people; if to
oats, So; potatoes, Indian corn and rice,
176, and if to plantain or breadfruit,
over 5000 people. Ere the dire prophecy
of Malthus is fulfilled, however, we may
reasonably expect the chemist to pro-
vide artificial food for the multitude
AS to the age of the Niagara falls,
biologists differ widely in opinion. At
first it was estimated that the Niagara
river came into existence through
changes in the level of the land around
the great lakes, about $4,000 years ago.
Later this was reduced to only $4,000
years. The celebrated geologist, Sir
Charles Lyell, increased the estimate
again to $4,000 years; but more recent
ly others have lowered it to about 5000
years. The latest estimate is that Of
DR.. j. W. Spencer, who, basing his con-
illusions on the most recent investiga-
tons, places the age of the river at 3d.
600 years and that of the cataract at 81
600 years. At one period, many thou
sand years ago, the height of the falls

A Jerseyman's Exciting Experience with
Il Pennsylvania. Nline MULE

Jerseyina2's Exciting Experience with
Il Pennsylvania Mine mule.
Patrick Murray, Of Perth Amboy. n.
j., had an exciting experience a few
days ago with a mine mule at Summit
Hill, Pa. which he will never forget,
says the New York Post. When he
reached the bottom of the slope and
proceeded to explore the gangway he
attracted the attention of one OF the
mules lie is at loss to know what
angercd the animal, but the beast
came for him at full speed, and Murray
started for q heading" with nothing
but the light of miners lamp to guide
HIM.
1t was a race for life. The mule
was rapidly closing the gap, when the
Jerscyman reached two mine cars. He
plunged between them. The mule
countermarched and began using his
hind feet with terrible effect. He
kicked the stout oak planks of the
car into kindling wood, and while he
was occupied in this manner Murray
made his escape and returned to the
surface. He is fully satisfied that the
mlnc mule is not to be trihed with. es-
pecially if you are tenderfoot with a
red necktie.
