1T APPEARS STRANGE.
james II. Campbeii's Brother Left BUTT
I'm n Hurry.

In n Hurry.
James II. Campbell died in this city
on the 5th of this month and the body
is still at Sherman's undertaking
rooms. There is a lash of mystery be-
ginning to manifest itself i'm connection
with the death of the old pioneer. He
no doubt died from natural causes,
but there Ii something very strange
about the actions of his brother. who
came here from North Dakota a few
days ago and left without the formality
of i~nstructing the undertaken as to the
disposition of the body of his brother.
Soon after the death of Campbell.
Mr.. Sherman received a telegram from
A. d. Campbell. dated Darlington. N.
D.. in which Mr.. Sherman was asked to
hold the body pending the arrival OF
the Dakota brother, who appeared I'm
due time. He received what informa-
ton he could from the undertaken and
then proceeded to the cabin which had
been the home of his brother. He
called the mex day at the undertaker's
and told Mr.. Sherman that he would
call again that evening.
That was the last seen OF the Dakota
heir. and nothing vas heard from him
until yesterday. when Mr.. Sherman re-
ceived the following telegram from Car
~rington. N. D.:
"send no kilograms. / will write at
once"
That was something OF a puzzle to
Mr.. sherman. who is now further in
the dark than ever concerning the
mans clandestine departure.
1t has been supposed all along that
]. II. Campbell left a considerable
amount Of money. whether in bank or
in hiding is not known generally. He
was considered a miser. In one sense.
and some of his acquaintance think
that he cached his money somewhere
outside of a bank. Some time e his
uncle died and left him s.. 400. Whether
the Dakota brother found something
among the dead mans effects which
put him or "a trail or hurriedly re-
turned to consult a lawyer Is not
known, but the letter he promises to
write may throw a ray of light on
IL all.

EVERYBODY OWES JOHN BULL,
English Gold Is Drawing Interest in
Every Corner of the World.

English Gold Is Interest in
Every Corner Of the World.
1t is with very good reason that the
E~ngiishman is regarded abroad as a
sort of walking moneybag. There is
scarcely a spot on the globe. civilized
or uncivilized. where his capital is not
sunk in some enterprise. and the total
amoun of John Bulls foreign invest
ments In something marvellous.
For many years past the sum lent
by England to foreign governments
and municipalities, and invested in all
sorts of industrial undertakings, is call
cuiated to mount to little short OF
e40. 0oo. 900 q year. or about e1 per
head Of h population.
AZ nearly as can be estimated Great
Britain has close on clio. 600. 900 invest
ed in and and mortgage companies.
The COUNTRY has financed railways In
India. Canada, Australia. various Eu-
ropean. African South American
countries. and ever In the wealth OF
the United States. to the tune Of about
G42O. 000, 900.
When national governments live be-
yond their income they generally go TO
England for a loan. and they are al
ways sure to get it. In this way the
colonies and foreign countries have
borrowed from England the enormous
sum of close on eS00. 900. 900. while the
bodies corresponding to English county
councils and corporations owe nearly
e25. 900. 900.
Curiously. while London Is or the
eve of a tragedy for want Of water.
many foreign waterworks companies
are working OF its capital. So are gas
companies, tramway COMPANIES and
telegraph companies. And the total OF
British gold sunk in these undertake
ines amounts to about f25. 00o. 900.
Altogether there is about e10. 000. 900
Of that country's wealth invested In
foreign and colonial banks.
Moreover. Il is calculated that Eng
lishmen have about ego. 00c, 900 sunk
in private investments.
So that. in addition TO having more
money at home than England knows
what 20 do with. II has ell $50. 600. 900 To
its credit abroad.

OVEN a MILLION A DAY.


Iuroukn inc mhtRs
Ever since she was made mistress of
a vast fortune Miss Helen Gould has.
like all other wealthy women. been the
daily recipient of large numbers Of
begging letters. Her mail was increas-
ed enormously by the newspaper an
nouncement that she had offered the
government a large sum to aid in pros
ecuting the war against Spain. In one
day recently h received 601 letters,
most of them OF the begging variety.
the total sum asked by her correspond
ents being considerably more than 81
000. 900. The amounts ranged all the
way from $3.50 for seven tickets to q
church fair to $500. 900. which a cranky
genius demanded So that he might pe
able to build a warship on plans which
he had perfected. Five other inventors
offered their patents for a total Of
1901 900 and 50 letter writers asked for
loans aggregating SIG. 1876. A Klondike
claim was offered for $5O.000 and an
estate on the Hudson for SAC. ZOO.
The day this wagon load of mail was
brought to Lyndhurst. her country
home at I~rvington. Miss Gould was
deep In the work of providing relief for
sick and wounded soldiers. A visitor
to Lyndhurst at the time says that

no longer a library. II was. to use
h words of Miss Gould's companion.
a sweat shop" The chairs n floors
were strewn with pajamas. the tables
with Dsds ara pencils. tfxes of reces-
saries for filling comfort bags, and
heaped up piles of filled comfort bags
we're on chairs and in corners. Book
cases lined the walls, Il is true. and
books were scattered in orderly pro-
fusion m the tables. but they were
all that In any way indicated the orig
inal design of the apartment in which
we stood. Two sewing machines oc-
cupied the place of honor. One was
even in the drawing room-rather an
incongruous ornament to the handsome
apartment. Everything bespoke the
absolute REIMBURSEMENT of anything
which was in any way foreign to the
business on hand, that of caring for
the soldiers. The brave men who had
gone to the front had found a warm
spot I'm the heart of the mistress and
everything she had was at their dis
posal. Even the maids had been call
ed into service and they were all busy
stitching patamas and comfort bags
n making button holes, sewing on
buttons and tapes. Every spare mo-
ment OF their time. when not engaged
in household duties, which my nform-
ant bewailed were sadly neglected, was
devoted to the soldiers.

The Grand opera house contained an
other large and delighted audience last
night at the secon performance of
that clever comedy. THE Old Coat"
A matinee will be given this afternoon,
and this evening the great comedy sue
cess. My Friend From India" will be
given.
MY Friend From India" Is described
as a three-act farcical comedy. and Is
based upon the troubles of a theosophic
barber whose wade mecum is a copy OF
1.-The Light OF Asia" and who acts the
part of a good samaritan to a young
~scapegrace. whose father is a retired
pork packer. The son. e~ndeavoring to
explain his late hours and the pres
ence of the stranger. utilizes the bar
ber's hobby and palms him of on his
father as an Oriental mystic. The old
a at once welcomes the visitor,
whom he poceeds to turn to his prac-
teal advantage and win his way into
society by the aid Of this great theo-
sophical idea The complications are
numerous. the fun beginning almost
with the rise of the curtain, n pro-
crossing ~furiously to the end.
One of the most original as well as
funny situations that have been con-
ceived by any farce writer in years. is
the mirror scene in the comedy. and is
briefly described as follows: A looking
glass filling one side of a screen has
been broken. A middle aged siren of
~coquettish charms who does not know
OF the accident. goes to the mirror to
admire herself. A man attired in the
exact duplicate of her ~gown-for rea-
sons clearly explained in the action
has tried to conceal himself behind the
screen. He acts on impulse as the
lady's reflection. and mimics her every
motion and facial play. II produces an
extraordinary situation n causes the
audience no end OF delight. 1t IL in
variably received with shouts.

A Dog Goes Mad.

There was considerable excitement
in town Wednesday, owing to the re-
port that mad dog was at large and
was attacking everything that got in
his way. About four o'clock in the
afternoon Marshal Reifenberger got
on his trail, and after an exciting
chase he captured the dog near Deal
try's elevator and shot him. The
dog began attacking people early in
the morning, and by three in the af-
ternoon more than a dozen persons
had been tackled by him, but the on
ly ones reported bitten to any extent
were Fred Mohl's son, Everett, and
little Rosa Eppers. It seems the
wrong time of year for mad dog
scare, but the animals actions were
certainly dangerous. The head has
been sent away for examination, and
should traces Of hydrophobia be
found every precaution possible will
have to be used to prevent the spread
OF the disease as he fought nearly
every dog that went near him. The
children who were injured by him
are being carefully watched by the
local physicians and serious results
will be prevented if possible.--Adrian
Democrat.
Later it has been reported that
COW and another dog that were bitten
by the animal have developed into a
full case of rabies. s..s,ys:.

Worthington Public Library.
This collection of over 1900 VOL
umes is now conveniently arranged
in the office of the high school build
ing and ready for use by the public.
The library has for some time been
strong along the lines of history and
biography. Within the past few
weeks some 200 recent books have
been added, mainly to the depart
ment of fiction. The books have all
been carefully classified and CON-
plete catalog, including many cross
references, prepared. A copy of this
catalog can be consulted at the H.
brary; before long it will perhaps be
printed.
By others than public school pupils
two books may be drawn at a time
provided only one of them is fiction.
Books may be retained two weeks
and may be renewed for like period
if not called for by someone else. A
tine of one cent day per book will
charged for retention over time.
The librarian, Miss Watson, will be
ready to distribute books to the gen
eral public each Tuesday and Friday
afternoons from four to five o'clock.
and her familiarity with what the H.
brary contains will perhaps assist
you in making selections. It is
hoped that the library will be used
extensively, and every effort will be
made to meet the wishes of it's pat
rons.
