Detroit, August 8. - Senator

position therein set forth has been
persistently and deliberately mis-
represented.
"The attempt to make it appear
from that interview" he writes,
"that l was hostile to the Admin.

as futile as it is fallacious. There
is nothing in the interview JUST
flying such conclusion, and moth.

west of Redwood Falls, about six
O'Clock last Wednesday evening.
The team started on its wild ca

the elevator of ]. A. Engelhart, on
Railroad street. There were no
teams on Washington avenue at that
time, and while there was an awful
roar, caused by the rafting of a
lumber wagon, Mrs. Stephens did

Schmahl, standing on the Hotel
Francois corner, yelled to her to
look out, but she did not heed
the cry, and before she got over the
crossing the tongue of the wagon
struck her and knocked a distance
of about 20 feet, landing in front of

knocked unconscious.

were eight blocks,,Cplatted in this
town, all on the north side of the
track. The streets are known as
North, Centre"and Front streets,
running east"and west, and East,
Oak, Broadway, Elm and Pine, ..run-
ming north and south. They were
66 foot streets, except Broadway,
in the center, which is 100 feet.

together with the wide street of
Broadway, and the great amount Of
land reserved for railroad right-of-

ment that the company proposes to
do something in Vesta.
The townsite agents are Hoyt &

did not know
On last Thursday evening the
track laying crew was putting in a
culvert between Vail and Water
bury, the crew having the track
laid from Sanborn to that point, and
the side tracks in at Wanda. They
expect to reach the Longbottom
farm in Vail the latter part of this
week, providing train load of ties
reach them in time. This will in
clude the putting in of the side
tracks at Wabasso. When they
arrive at the Longbottom farm work
will stop until after Nov. 4th, for
the reason that the crew has rails
enough on hand only to lay at that
point, and that the company can
not make another shipment before
that date. AS a result the cars
may not be running into the termi-
nal at Vesta before Dec. 1st.
Surveyor Bigham states that the
grade is one of the finest he has
ever seen. The road bed is perfect,
and on either side the graders have
worked to keep the ground smooth,

E. E. Gray, chief engineer of the

Chicago & Northwestern, came to
Redwood Falls on Tuesday after
noon of last week, and on Wednes-
day morning, in company with
County Surveyor Bigham, left for
the townsites along that line in
Redwood county, the object being
to give Mr.. Bigham an opportunity
t) see that the stakes were all prop
erly driven in each townsite. They
visited the terminal town in Vesta.
then passed down to Sheridan, then
to Vail and then to Willow Lake.
returning to Redwood Falls Thurs
day afternoon, with the plats and
blue prints of each townsite, on
which were the certificates of the
officers On Friday morning they
secured the certificates of the county
auditor and treasurer, and after
Mr.. Bigham had placed his certifi
cate as to the accuracy of the plats
the same were placed on record
with the register of deeds. The
streets in each town, of course, were
decided to the public.
All of the towns with the excep-
ton of Vesta, have Indian names.
Commencing at the first town north

Is to be.known hereafter as Wanda.

street, then comes Main and then
comes South street. On the east
side the first street is Railroad, then
comes Oak, then Elm and then Pine.
The next town north of Wanda
the one in section q Vail, is to be
known as Wabasso, meaning the
Land of the White Rabbit and
the coursing sports will also testify
to the numerous white rabbits out
there. The town is on the east side
of the tracks. The plat lays out
six blocks. The streets are to be
known as North, Main and South
streets running east and west, and
Pine, Cedar, Oak, Elm and Front

Queer Beliefs About Seven.

So numerous are the queer beliefs
concerning the sumber seven that a
narrative of them all would fill a vol
ume, but we may mention a few of
them. From the very earliest ages the
seven great planets were known and
ruled this world and the jewellers in
it, and their number entered into ev-
cry conceivable matter that concerned
man. There are seven days il the
week, seven holes in the head fer the
master stars are seven," seve= ages
both for man aid the world IN which
he lives. There were seven material
heavens, and in the under world de-
scribed by Dante the great pagan dead
who were not good enough for heaven
or bad enough for hell reposed in a
seven-walled and seven-gaited city.
There are seven colors in the spectrum
and seven notes in the diatonic octave,
and the leading" note of the scale is
the seventh. Be it noted that the sew
enth son is not always gifted with
beneficent powers. In Portugal he is
believed to be subject to the pow
ers of darkness and to be compelled
every Saturday evening to assume the
likeness of an ass.

CHAPTER Y.

Philip knew that now his only
chance was 10 remain with the vessel.
and attempt to save himself upon some
fragment of the wreck. That the ship
would long hold together he felt was
impossible; already she had parted her
upper decks, and each shock of the
waves divided her more and more
At last, as he chung to the mast, he
heard a noise abaft, and he then rec
objected that Mynheer Won St-oom was
still in his cabin. Philip crawled aft,
and found that the poop ladder had
been thrown against the cabbin door,
so as to prevent its being opened. He
removed 1t, and entered the cabin.
where he found Mynheer Won Stroom
clinging to windward with the grasp
of death-but 1t was not death, but the
paralysis of fear. He spoke to him.
but could obtain no reply; he attempt
ed to move him, but it was impossi-
bic to make him let go the part of
the bulkhead that he grasped. A loud
noise and the rush of a mass of wa
ter told Philip that the vessel had
parted amidships, and he unwillingly
abandoned the poor supercargo to his
fate and went out of the cabin door.
At the after hatchway he observed
something struggling-it was Johannes
the bear, who was swimming, but still
fastened by cord which prevented his
escape. Philip took out his knife and
released the poor animal. and hardly
had he done this act of kindness when
q heavy sea turned over the after part
of the vessel, which separated in many
places, and Philip found himself
struggling in the waves. He seized
upon a part of the deck which sup
ported him, and was borne away by
