PREDICTED HER OWN DEATH,
Mrs. ThurstOn's Feelings on the Eve
of Her Departure for Cuba

The ladies of the congressional circle at
the Carlo apartment house. where the
Thurstons lived, say that Mrs Thurston
had remarkable presentiment that she
would not return alive from Cuba saws
the Chicago Record, but nevertheless was
determined to go and would not allow her
husband to leave without her.
A day OF two before they left a number
of ladies were sitting in Mrs. Thurston's
room discussing plans and proba biities,
when she Informed them with the great
return and desired to leave with them
messages and commissions for friends
whom she would not be able to see before
her departure. She even made memo

to go with her witness while she plac-

The package was addressed to her daugh-

it met off Cape Hatteras, Mrs. Thurstor

land alive. When the yacht finally found
shelter at Charleston they laughed over her

second man to enlist at New Orleans and Is
one OF the five members of the original
company who have survived their service
with the Ninth. Unless an exception Is
made these five old fighters will be dis
charged from the service next month. All
are afriad that the limit of their service
will be reached before they get chance
to fight for the Cubans They are all over
fifty years old, except Taylor, VINO enlisted

One Of the most notable achievements Of
the Ninth cavalry, and. in fact, one of the
most extraordinary incidents in the history
of operations In the Indian country, was
the dash Of Troop D on Oct. g. 1873, at Milk
river, to rescue Thornburgs command.
which was hemmed in by hostile White
River Utes. Troop D went through the
lines of the Indians with hurrah. Every
horse in the command was killed, not one
getting inside the breastworks. and most
remarkable to relate. not one member OF
the detachment was killed. This Is prob
ably the most extraordinary instance Of hot
work in the annals of the United States
army. Many members of the Ninth carry
merit medals for deeds of daring and bra
very in action, and if the government was
not very particular in awarding these to-
kens of honor, every member of the COM
mand would be thus decorated.

view and concluded that his fatal mistake
was in not advertising. He was a general
favorite in the country town where he
met with disaster, he held nothing out
against his creditors, and his reward came
in the shape Of the postmastership. The
income depended very largely on the num-
Der and value Of stamps sold. Bumper
determined that he would not fail again,
at least from the same cause
In the local paper there appeared big
display advertisement notifying the public
that Bumper had the largest, brightest

stamps in the county. He would sell them
at the lowest figure, warrant them to be

CROOKSTON. Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE new
towns which are being established along the
line of the Crookston-Duluth extension from
Fosston eastward are attracting considerable
attention from business men on account Of the
opportunities offered to start stores. The road
will run through a country that is already
settled, and as consequence trade will be
active from the first There will be FIVE sta
tions of considerable Importance between
FOsston and Bemidji, at each of which stocks
Of good size and variety will be taken as
soon as the cities are surveyed and buildings
can be erected. At Lengby. the first station
out from Fosston Messrs. Rhinehart & Argell
OF East Grand Forks, have a building under
way, and they will be open for business in 4
few weeks. The station known as Soway.
about equal distance between Fosston and
Bemidji, has the call the place Of promise.
1t is situated in the heart of the pine country
and will likely be headquarters for numbering
and logging. 1t is the nearest point TO the
Red Lake agency. and is the point where the
postal routes will probably diverge leading
throughout the entire section. Progress on
the building of the line is being made quite
rapidly, considering the season.
