Major Braasn's Record.

The following from the Minneapolis
Journal of recent date will interest
the many friends of Major Braden in
this city. Major Braden enlisted as
private in Co. | when they were order
ed out in April, '9S, but while the CONS
pany was in camp at Milwaukee Mr..
Braden left the Superior boys and went
to Dakota.
Major J. Q. A. Braden, ofthe Thirty
sixth Infantry L. 5. V. who will soon
have seen two years of active service in
the island of Louzon, was Il prominent
Sout Dakotan Tor many years. During
President Harrlspn's term he was regis
ter of the United States land Office at
Aberdeen. He has always had fancy
for the military, and Tor an extended
period was captain OF Company L at
A berdeen. Interest in the guard was
at low point for many Years, but
Major Braden never faltered in his per-
sonal devotion to his home orsaniza-
ton.
Prior to the war with Spain Major
Braden had removed to West Superior
and entered the abstract business. Up-
on the call for volunteers he LETT his o

lieutenant in the Spearfish, Black Hills,
company, although he was prepared to
take his place i'll the ranks if there bad
been no command tor him During
the l26 consecutive days that the South
Dakota regiment was IN the field, IS of
which We're actual campaigning. Major
Braien WAS frequently in command of
his company and proved time and
again his thorough going soldierly
qualities.
When the regiment returned TO Ma
Mia, preparatory TO departure for home.
Major Braden was discharged and COM
missioned to his present command with
the Thirty sixth. He was again orders i
to the front on Aug. >, and on the 9th
was wounded in the 1st engage .nent of
his second. The bullet struck me-"

the right knee. just grazing the bone.
1t was not much of q wound, but | was
in the hospital for five weeks
Major Braden likes the tropics and
will probably remain i'll Louzon for
some years to come. The present
compaign," he says, will no doubt end
organized resistance to American au-
thoritv, but | fear the insurgent army
will break up In small bands OF la
drones and annoy the outlying districts.
Eventually our army will be scattered
over the islands, regiment here,
battalion there and company or two

Tie major is a fine type Of the Ameri-
can citizen soldier-faithful in all de-
tails of camp and march, considerate of
his men, fearless in the field and ac

THE NEW FILTER.
MicrObeless Water IN the Near
Future.

Thanks to the weather man, who
seems to have been aware of the press
ing need Superior people have for pure
water, the Water company's new filter
has progressed so far that it is only
matter of few weeks at most when
microbeless water will he on tap all
over the city. TIL last of the concrete
work was done on Thursday, and
the reservoir is being rooted in. On
Monday men were at work putting in
the supply pipe running from the pump
house to the filter, while another crew
was putting the sand and gravel into
the first section of the filter The re-
turn pipe from the filter to the pump
ing station has already been put in.
But for the delay in putting in the new
pumps at the pumphouse, which are
to send the water to the filter, it would
have been only q matter of a few days
when the filter would have been in
operation.

The people of the East end were sur
prised and saddened on last Saturday
morning to learn of the death of CLAIR
enCe J. Nreeland, which occurred the
night before at the home of his parents,
on Fifteenth street, between Stinson
and Thompson avenues. few people ex-
cept his relatives seeming to be aware
of his illness. The cause of his death
was typhoid fever which brought on
hemmorhage of the bowels. 1t Is need
less to say that his death was great
shock to his parents, particularly to his
mother, with whom he was a great IA
yorite and for whom he had always
laboured with filial devotion. His fun
eral took place on Sunday afternoon, to
Woodlawn ceremony, his pallbearers
being chosen from his intimate associ-
ates. Funeral services were held in
the house by Rev. Wiley, of the First
NJ. h. Church, who made few remarks
appropriate to the sad occasion, and
not few fearful eyes were seen among
those who had come to pay the last
tribute OF respect to the dead Floral
offerings were strewed upon the coffin,
the silent vet beautifully expressive
tokens of affection and sorrow. The
TIMES casts a flower upon his grave
and tenders to the bereaved father
and mother ami other members of the
family its sincere sympathy.
We clip the following sketch of his
life from the Superior Morning Leader
OF Monday last:
Clarence J. Nreeland was born at la
Crosse, Wis, nearly % years ago. His
twin sister was buried there when
four Years of age. He came to this city
SIX years ago and began work in the
Superior TIMES office as an apprentice
He afterwards worked at the Citizen
office, then for the Evening Telegram.
For the last two years he workad stead
lily at the Clarion office. Soon after
coming to this city he identified himself
with the East end NJ. +. church, of
which he has since been a faithful and
consistent member. He also belonged
to the Epworth League and took an ac-
tive part in that work, He belonged to
erance worker, and his voice will be
missed i'll their councils He helped
organize the Superior Amateur Athletic
club, and took Il deep interest in ath
letlc sports, being one of the best anna
teur athletes at the head of the lakes.
He was also a member of the y. NJ. c.
A. as long as that body was III existence
Clarence }. Nreeland was a young man
of sterling integrity and high ideals
Lie to HIM was earues! and real. He
believed he had a duty to perlorm-a
mission to fuliil-and he went about his
work with a zeal and energy that knew
no such word as faIl His friends we're
legion; enemies he had none. For the
last t"o years he had contributed large
ly to the support of his father and
mother, and his untimely death Will be
a sad blow to them. Three brothers re-
side in this city and one is a steamboat
captain on the Mississippi river. He
had 81 900 Ii e insurance with the New
York life and the same with the Metro
poitan. both payable to his mother.

JAPANESE BUYING GOODS HERE
Are Building Up Home Industries by
the Aid of Chicago Machinery.

the Aid of Chicago Machinery.
Chicago is building up by no means
Insignificant trade with Japan. The
yankees of the Orient" are quick to
discern whatever is Of utility to them
in the mechanic arts, and as conse-
Quence they are supplying themselves
with machinery for the development OF
their industries direct from the facto-
ries on the shores of Lake Michigan.
IN the history of the entire world no
other nation has experienced such
remarkable growth in its commerce
with Japan as has the United States.
japanese official figures give the I'M
portatiOrs from the United States in
1888 at 6,C90,40S yen and in 1898 at 49,,
001,097 yen. Meantime her importa-
tons from England increased from 81
929,62S yen to 62.107 ,572 yen: those
from Germany from ISIS, 1874 yen to
25.61O.961 yen; those from France from
3.30J,2T yen to G,979 $50 yen. and those
from China from 17,095.975 yen to 30
523. $50 yen, while the only part OF the
world which has experienced an in
crease at all to be compared with that
of the United States is the British East
Indies, whose increase nas been from
s 679029 in 1893 to 40,764 pa yen in
1888. Japan's importations have grown
enormously IN the last five years. In
1893 they amounted to S,251,172 yen
and in 1898 to 277, 500 1GG yen. Mean
time her exports have grown from So.
TN TO II
1898. Thus the exports have doubled
and the imports have trebled in the pc
Rod under consideration. The DISPOSE
ton of Japan is to look to the United
States for A constantly increasing pro
portion of its supplies. In 1898 the
United States furnished less than
per cent of the imports into Japan anf
in 1898 ia per cent, while England
the principal competitor in the markets
of the east, which in 1898 furnished 50
per cent Of Japan's impOrtattons, in
1898 furnished 22.6 per cent. Not only
have the producers and exporters of
the United States developed in the last
few years disposition to push their
sales in that country, but Japan herself
purchases from the nearest markets
those of the United States-and has
recently established steamship lines
connecting with United States ports.
Japan by reason of recent events is the
nearest neighbor to the United States,
aside from those whose territory is ac-
tually Contingencies and Mexico.
Her com paratively recent exchange OF
mainland territory to Russia for the
line of islands stretching nOrthwardiy
from her central group brings her ter
ritory to within about 500 miles OF
that OF the United States in the Aleu-
tian chain of islands, while at the
south her newly acquired island Of
Formosa lies within less than 200 miles
Of the Philippines Thus not only are
the United States and Japan neighbors
territorially. but their insu,ar posses
sions combined stretch along the en-
tire Pacific coast of Asia from arctic
to equatorial Chicago Chron

A pious Methodist miller in Leba-
non, Kan, has decorated his big grain
elevator with the following Bible quo
tations:
Eternity is hell He lifted up His
ewes, being in torment. He is not de-
ceiyed. God is not Knocked. Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but Ny
words shall not pass away. Fear God
and keep His commandments. For the
Son of Man is come TO seek and to sage
that which is lost
This should be warning to millers
who mislabel their -four sacks.
