German and American Friction.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. ia Manila
letter, dated July II. brought here by
the Empress Of Japan yesterday, is as
follows: There is great friction here
between Americans and Germans. The
latter are helping the Spanlards in
the most open manner. Dewey has
told them that If this continues there
will be war between the two nations
We have come to the conclusion that
the Germans do not want to help
SPAIN as they cannot afford to. They
have not sufficiently strong navy.
They wish merely to obtain a few
pickings, after it is all over here.
Spaniards looked upon them at the be-
ginning as their deliverers, but their
opinion is changing, and Germany is
now not very popular at this place"

A little episode in street ear Illus
trates peculiar condition OF society In
the average American city. The car was
humming along through the upper part
of town. It was rainy night and the
car was filled. At every street corner
women were crowding in, laden with
water-soaked bundles and all looking
more or less bedraggled and out OF
sorts. At Main and Mohawk streets
smart-looking, weli-dressed young
woman entered the car, and stood hang
ing to the straps. Directly In front OF
her sat sad-faced but very respecta-
ble-looking young man. He looked up
at the young woman, but gave no indi-
cation that he intended to give his seat
to her. One by one the men had sur
rendered their seats to the women un-
til only Two or three men remained
sitting. Standing next TO the smart
young woman was another young man.
evidently man Of position, who knew
her. As the car rushed along toward
Cold Spring the smart young woman
swung about on the straps and showed
signs Of weariness. Still the young
man in front of her made no motion
toward surrendering his seat.
sOh, I'm SO tired; It seems as though
I would drop down." she said to the
young man standing By her side. OF
course, that was 100 much for her gall
liant friend, and. STOPPING over, he said
TO the sad-faced young man sitting
down: My friend. would you have the
kindness TO give this young Indy your
seat; she Is very tired r.
The sad-faeed young man folded his
arms resoiutely and replied: No. !
will not have the kindness to give this
young woman my seat. Last Monday
morning she took my place In Blank a

I was getting. II she can lake my place

baby starving at home. II have been

Everybody in the car turned to listen
to the sad-faced young mans words.
They were very earnest. The smart
young woman turned with o sneer and
looked into the face of the young man
who stood beside her. Nothing more
was said.-BufFaio News.

we rolled back down, and having no

we stopped there at that switch, where
the brakeman stood patiently waiting.

lowing train, too.
..Now, I'll tell you the most peculiar
part Of that thing. We found the brake
man with only one ski. The last two

other ski had been fairly burned of

Escaped Death.

From the Enterprise, Mapleton, Mimi.

To escape death after being given up by
four doctors, and hidden goodbye TO family
and friends, is an experience not granted
every man. Yet it happened to Mr. LIE Roy
Bowen, of Decoria township, Blue Earth Co.,
MINI.
Mr.. Bowen is farmer but formerly re-
sided in Mapleton, where he was clerk and
city marshall for a number of years. He is
a well-known member of the Masonic fra
ternity aud is of sterling honesty and up
Brightness of character.
His story is of the greatest interest. He
said:
al was suddenly taken sick in the spring
ef1895. The doctor was summoned. He pro-
nounced my case one of gravel and said the
pain was caused by the passage of stone
from the kidneys to the bladder. L doctored
with him for three months, but was not bene-
flied. Once week would have bad spell
of two or three days duration, during which
suffered untold agony.
Finally went to Mankato and consulted
a specialist. He stated that l did not have
gravel, but thought it was rheumatism of the
end of August. Then l became completely
bedridden and sent for another doctor He
called my complaint inflammation of the
bowels and treated me for that.
"The doctor laid my case before the fac
ulty of Rush Medical College, Chicago, and
it was decided that | had neuralgia of the

cember, but continued to grow worse. Then
the doctor said, / can't do you any good.

GONE TO HIS REWARD
c. H. Brett Passes Away in Minneap-
oils this Morning.

Mr.. Geo. e. Brett received mes
sage this morning from q. f. Piper,
of Minneapolis, announcing the death
there at one o'clock this morning Of
his father, Cyrus III Brett. 1t is
believed that the cause Of death was
acute pneumonia. The deceased went
from his home at Henry, S. D., on
Saturday or Monday last to visit his
daughter, Mrs. Frank Piper, at Min
neapolis, and caught cold while en-
route.
Mr.. Brett was ninety-one years Of
age, and had always been rugged,
hardl knowing a sick day. He lived
In South Dakota for several years,
and after the death of his wife two
years ago. made his home most of the
time with his daughter, Mrs. e p,
Baker. He enjoyed visiting his chill
dren at their different homes, and
frequently visited il Mankato. He
was we'll liked by all VINO knew him.
and his death will cause much regret.
Geo. e. Brett went to Minneapolis
this morning, and will return Friday
with the remains, which will be
inferred in GlenwoOd cemetery, Fri

move was made with the understand
ing that they we're to refund S25 to
Mr.. Eddy and be sentenced to TWEEN
ty months at Saltwater. Several
conferences between the court and
the attorneys for the state and the
defense preceded the opening OF
court.
Mr.. Eddy will leave tonight for La
Grande, Oregon, where his home is.
The Omaha road has kindly given
him a pass to Omaha, and the money
which is to be refunded to him, added
to his witness fees, will take him
home. 1t is not likely that he will
show his money to strangers in any
future trips that he may make.
1t is thought that the grand jury
returned another indictment against
Wright and Howard charging them
