ABOARD THE YANKTON.
John SiYertSOn BOatswaln of thai
Torpedo Boat DESTROYER.

A letter received by Ole Lystad
from John Sivertson, announces his
safe arrival at Norfolk, Va, and his
assignment to the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Yankton as boatswain. He
says he is enjoying good health and
would rather be on the water than
hauling water, his former business in
Morris. He sends his regards to all
inquiring friends, and says they will
soon hear from his SASSY" little boat,
as they sail in few days for Cuban
waters. A boatswain is an officer who
has charge of the boats, sails, rigging,
colors, anchors, cables, cordage, etc.,
of ship, and who also summons the
crew, and performs various other du-
ties. Mr.. Sivertson is an old man-of,
war man and has been an officer of q
minor grade before.

ChiIdren'S s Day.

The observance of Childrens Day
by the methodist Sabbath school last
Sunday evening was enjoyed by a
large audience. Decoration and
music had been carefully arranged, SC
that the evening was happy occa-
sion for the children. Many little
ones took part, and with their simple
recitations and songs made up an at.
tractive program. The Congregational
Children's Day exercises will be held
next Sunday evening.

OPERETTA CINDERELLA
Public School Children Give Popular
Entertainment.

|
The operetta Cinderella was very
successfully presented by the chill
dren of the public schools on Monday
and Tuesday evenings. Large crowds
greeted the youthful entertainers or
each evening. The gross receipts
were Sal, one half of which will be
used by the schools to purchase dec
orations for the bare walls or more
books for the library.
The operetta comprises four acts in
which the old nursery rhyme offender
ella is retold in more extended form:
how Cinderella, the humble maiden,
was made a princess for . season by
the fairy queen, meets the prince at
the ball and then proves her identity
again by being able to wear the slip
per she lost at the ball,
The principal parts were taken as
follows;
Cinderella Village beauty Miss Zoe Spur
Charlotte. Beatrice Munro
Ulrica a,......................D .Dottie Patterson
(Step Sisters of Cinderella
Baroness de Pompolins (step-moth-
er to Cinderel1a) ........ Mildred Huff
Fairy (God-mother to Cinderella)
-Hedwig Bruhn
Prince Felix 1........... Fred Clark
Lord High Step lord in waiting)
Edward Darling
Muley "a nobleman) ..........Guy Stewart
Pedro hired help to Baroness)
-Orvy Thoele
Each one of the amateur performers
acted their parts we'll, a statement
which is especially true of those act
ing the popular roles of Cinderella,
Pedro and Felix. Miss Flynn in her
solo showed that she has rare voice
for one so young,and the old fashion
ed minuet by the eight little tots
simply brought down the house and
called forth we'll deserved encore.
The children are to be praised for
their talent and Mr.. Alexander Ball
for his skill in training his actors in

OBITUARY.
Death of Frank E. Newell After MS
Lingering Illness.


Lingering Illness.
Mr.. Frank E. Newell, who has beer
lingering at the point of death III
several weeks, died Thursday eve
hing of last week. The announce
ment of his death was received by the
community with evident sorrow. He
was a man universally loved and re-
spected, whose prominence in the
county for many years has made him
only friends. The cause of his death
was stomach trouble, from which he
has been suffering acutely for two
months.
Mr.. Newell was born in Rhode Is
land, on February Is, 1916. He came
to Minnesota with his parents in 1854
VIII, re the father died when Frank
war only ten years of age. The next
wear he went to st. Paul, where ne
remained until the war broke out. he
then enlisted in the First Minnesota
Infantry, but was rejected on account
of disability, and returned to his
mothers farm in Dakota county. In
1854 he went to Hastings and for
twelve years served as deputy sheriff
of Dakota county, For the next four
years he engaged in the grocery busi-
ness at Hastings, after which he came
to Morris and opened general store
In 1887 he was appointed village
portmaster, position which ne has
held since then, except for the Intern
Of President Hsrrison's administra-
ton. He was also for four years a
m.mber of the village council and for
the past twelve years has served the
community faithfully as president OF
the school board.
Mr.. Newell was married IN 1851 to
Miss Agnes McHugh, of Hastings
All of their children are living In
Morris with Mrs. Newell.
The funeral was held from the AS
sumption church at noon Sunday.
After high mass, Father Gaskell
preached the funeral sermon to an
audience which extended beyond the
doors as far as his voice could be
heard. When the church service was
concluded the long funeral process
sion moved to the cemetery, where the
A. o. U. w. lodge, of which Mr.. New
ell was q member, conducted the
ceremonies. The floral offerings we're
lavish in their abundance and rich in
the beauty of the flowers. Flowers
abounded both at the house, the
church and the grave, having been
contributed by the workmen, mem
bers of the school board, and members
of the Catholic church. Thus the
love and respect of the community
was shown to one whose death they
felt as a personal loss.

SEEING AROUND A CORNER.
Serving the Eye AS the Telephone Does
the Ear.


the Ear.
A person standing or sitting before
simple piece of apparatus that has been
in common use for about 20 years can
easily hear music or articulate speech
and recognize the voice of IA friend hun
dreds of miles away. The me0l. ansm
employed is electrical, and the two
points between which the transmission
occurs are connected simply by a wire.
1t is now announced that the sense of
vision can be served in similarly COM
plete and satisfactory manner under
like conditions
y Vienna dispatch to the London
Chronicle says, for instance: "a Won
derful invention has just been made in
Austria, consisting of an apparatus call
ed 'fernseher' (far seer) The apparatus
renders visible an object with all its
colors situated around the corner, or at
a great distance, by means of the trans
formation of light waves into electric
waves In other words hle machine
conducts optic appearances along cleo
trio wires and renders them visible
i'll another place 1t is said to be the So
luton of problem on which Edison
has been engaged for "a years. The
owners Of the patent which has been
taken out are boasting that it will be
the great attraction of the Paris eXhibi-
ton. The inventor is poor Polish vii
lage schoOlmaster named Szczepanik.
The apparatus is in the shape of a tele
DhOup hOX -
One will quickly perceive the differ
ence between device of this kind and
telescope. The latter instrument per-
mits one to see only in straight line
and not around a corner. The curvature
of the earth, to say nothing of other
embarrassments, interferes with long
distance work in purely terrestrial OBJ
servatiOn. Besides, the greater the dis
lance the greater must be the magnify
ing power of the instrument. 1t may be
inferred from the analogy afforded by
the telephone that the "fernseher"
works equally we'll at a distance of one
mile or hundred, and in spite of un-
limited crookedness along the route.
The dust, haze, fog and other impuri.
ties i'll the atmosphere are also serious
obstacles to vision in a horizontal direc-
ton, no matter how eXcelleEG the op-
teal means hitherto employed. The
medium through which electricity
flows, ON the other hand, transmits so
perfectly that the observation due to
distance is practically nil.-New York

Japanese Railways.

Last year the progress of railway Ell.
terprise in Japan was phenomenal.
Since the pioneer railway was construct
ed between Tokyo and Yokohama, a
distance of IS miles, in 1872, the sys-
tenn has been extended at an average
rate of 100 miles a year, so that at the
end Of March, 1897, which concluded
the twenty ninth fiscal year, the total
mileage had reached 2, 446. At one leap,
however, during 1897, no less than $50
miles approximately We're added to the
total thus bringing it up to 5000 miles
i'll round numbers. Other lines are un-
der construction or are projected, so
that there will be no abatement in the
Japanese railway development for some
time to come.
