but doing justice to them to state

Two good audiences greeted Mrs.
Bull at her readings in the M. E.
church and to say they were highly
pleased and entertained would be
putting it mildly. The review of her
book Bethel El-Bethel was very in
teresting and showed much original
thought on the part of the writer as
we'll as fine composition. Her addess
to the young people in the evening
was full OF good thought and advice.
John Adams was detected Friday

of the latter's. Mr.. Thompron start
ed to take Adams to an officer, but
he got away and ran into hiding

Hans Nystrom recently received a
letter from relatives in Sweden, writ
ten about the time the war broke out
between this country and Spain, the
writer saying they did expect the
letter would not reach it's destination
for some time if at all, as it was ex-
pected that Spain would lombard
and destroy our ports. This gives
an illustration of the faint concep-
ton for eign countries have of Ameri-
cas- defense.
Rev. W. j. J Johnson, pastor of the
Presbyterian hurch of Luverne and

first one will be Hon. J. J. Ingalls,, of
a national reputation, followed by
Prof. Marc, magician, Lyric Ladies
Quartette, and Mr.. Speedon, the car
toon artist of the publication "Puck."
These people will appear about
month or six weeks apart, and will
be high class entertainments that
will be enjoyed by every one.
Ex-senator John j. Ingalls,, of
Kansas, whose fame as a brilliant
writer, man of remarkable scholar
ship and literary attachments is even
greater than that of the distinguished
senator, announces a new book on
the subject of the American-Spanish-
Cuban war. It is entitled "America' q
War for Humanity in Picture and
Story" 1t is published by the N. D.
Thompson Publishing Co., of St.
Louis, Mo-, and is an exhaustive dis.
cussion of the causes of the war, and
an equally exhaustiee history of it's
incidents, and a brilliant analysis OF
the famous characters conducting it.
1t promises to be the one great and
popular work called forth by this
wonderfully interesting natural cpl
sode. Whatever Senator ingalls,
touches he adorns; and his book
shines and sparkles in the light Of
his genius, and will be a monument
to his fame. The subject now so en-.
crosses the public mind as to forecast
