Tho Wonderful Artistic Feats Per-.
formed BY Joanna Koetren.
More than 900 years ago q little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland,
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight in MAX
ing copies of things about her, initial
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making on silk, with colored floss, ex-
act copies Of paintings, which were
thought wonderful
But after she had become very &C.
complished in music, spinning and en-
broidery, she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers. animals and por-
traits of people Of such striking resem-
blance that she was for a time quite the
wonder Of Europe. She used white pa
pers for her cuttings, placing them over
q black surface, so that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the eight and shade"
The car, Peter the Great, and others
Of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1000
forms for a trophy she had cut, bearing
the arms of Emperor Leopold, crowned
with eagles and surrounded by a gar
land of flowers She also cut the en-
peror's portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her, and
she kept a book in which princes and
princesses wrote their names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived 65 years. her husband, Adrian
Block, erected a monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings were SO correct in effect and 80
tasteful as to give both dignity and
value to her work and constitute her an
artist whose exquisite skill with the
scissors has never before or since been
equaled. Lewiston Journal.

The Magic of Rome.

The story of Rome is a tale of MUIR
der and sudden death, varied, chang
ing, lev repeated in the same way;
there is blood on every Threshold; a
tragedy lies buried in every church and
chapel, and again we ask in vain
wherein lies the magic of the city that
has fed on terror and grown old in
carnage, the charm that draws men to
her, the power that holds, the magic
that enthralls men soul and body, as
Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tam
hauser in her mountain Of old. Yet
none deny it, and as centuries roll on
the poets, the men of letters, the must
clans, the artists Of all ages, have come
to her from far countries and have
dwelt here while they might, some for
long years, some for the few months
they could spare, and all of them have
left something, a verse, a line, a sketch,
a song that breathes the threefold mys-
terry of love, eternity and DEATH

Fell at B6lVi6W and Delhi Dur
lnQ the Storm Monday
Afternoon.
One Hail Stone Measures
Is Inches in CirCum-
ference,

A terrific storm passed over this
county shortly before four o'clock
Monday afternoon. The storm was
accompanied by hail. 1t passed
from northwest to southeast, and
while many window lights were
smashed along the path of the storm
very little other damage was done
The hail stones were too few to
materially injure any of the grow
ing crops.
While there was more or less of a
storm northwest of Belview that
town was near the center of the
path. Here it commenced about
3:3O o'clock with heavy rain and
few hail stones the size of marbles.
Gradually the hail stones grew
larger, accompanied by heavy rain
and about a quarter to four the
stones fell quite thick, and some of
them larger than a hens egg. The
stones were all shapes-some round,
some square, and some the shape of
icicles. Five minutes after the
large stones tumbled down the
storm ceased at that point
At Delhi the big stones fell, how
ever, one of the stones being picked
up and measuring 13 inches in cir
cumference. Another measured 10
inches and several measured around
the latter number The measuring
was done in the presence Of several
witnesses and the authenticity of it
cannot be denied
About two miles south of Belview
Will Marvin was caught in the
storm, coming from Belview to Red
wood Falls. He rushed into farm
house where several window lights
were broken by the hail stones, one
of which he picked up and it had
circumference of 10 inches. He
brought it to town and on arriving
here it was much larger than a hem S
egg. even after melting an hour or
more
A trip through the section where
the hail fell Immediately after the
storm, showed that the grain was
not injured in the least. This was
due to the fact that only a few hail
stones fell, and while large, they
could do but little or no damage.
While the storm was the most
severe around Belview it was al
most impossible to see across the
street.

cause of the Northwestern-M Milwau
kee fight through the center OF
Murray and Cottonwood counties,
and to the scenes of which the
Northwestern has moved it's con-
tractors to construct the line run
ming from Madelia to Slayton before
the Milwaukee is able to make any
great progress in it's building. At
the present time there are not over
80 men and half a dozen or more
teams with two or more dump carts
at work east and south of Sanborn
within sight of the main line. The
grading is fairly we'll advanced,
running as it does, side by side,
with the Northwestern for over two
miles east of Sanborn, before it
makes it's break for the south. The
heavy rains have retarded the grad
ing and make it extremely difficult
for teams to get into the muddy
dirt wanted for trenches to build up
the high grades. North of Sanborn
not a stroke of work has been done.
for the same reason that work is
not being pushed on the line south
of that place. At the point where
the line is to branch from the North
western in order to go through the
heart of this county there are some
indications of railroad construction
in the small quantity of material
laying there, but there is nothing
else to warrant the statement that
the line will be built this year. Of
course, there is time yet to COM
plete the 26 or % miles before snow
flies, but the Northwestern Milwau-
kee fight is likely to be an unfortu-
nate one for those farmers residing
along the proposed Redwood county
extension, who have been counting
on hauling their grain for only a
short distance, when harvested

William anderson and Leon
ard Mason Drowned
Thursday.
Bathing In the Minnesota
River and Swept bu
the Current.

William Anderson and Leonard
Mason of Renville were drowned in
the Minnesota river shortly after
three o'clock last Thursday after
noon. The double drowning oc-
Cured in the river near the plant
of the Minnesota Gold Mining & Re-
fining Co. One of the bodies, that of
Anderson, was recovered about two
O'Clock last Saturday afternoon, and
the body of Mason was recovered
"a hours later.
Anderson was a member of the
Renville high school graduating
class, while Mason is a son of
Frank Mason of Renville, and a
nephew of John A. Mason, residing
on the Willard farm. On the day in
question the high school pupils had
appointed picnic for the banks of
the Minnesota river, and an un-
usually large crowd of Renville peo-
pie had gone down to enjoy days
outing and take in the picnic exer-
cises. Shortly after the luncheon
the two boys went down the river
quite a distance to 90 in bathing.
Both of the boys had disrobed and
got into the shallow water, where
they played for few minutes, when
one Of them challenged the other to
go further towards the main chan
ne of the river. Young Anderson
struck out and was followed by
Mason. Both of the boys struck
the channel about the same time.
Anderson S feet were swept out
from under him, and without utter
ing cry for help he sank to the
bottom Of the river. Mason S death
was almost as sudden, with the ex-
ception that he was seen to rise to
the surface twice, and then disap-
pear for the third and last time.
AS soon as the people at the pic
mic realized what had occurred
several people went to Delhi, from
which place a telephone message
was sent to Renville, and people
from that town shortly afterwards
were on their way to the river with
graphing hooks, irons, ropes, etc.
The dragging for the bodies con-
tinued all night long and all of the
next day, during which time dyna-
mite was resorted to, and while the
bodies failed to rise to the surface
on that day vast quantity of fish
were. ''scooped" in by the dredgers.
At two O'Clock on Saturday, how
ever, the body Of young Anderson
was found about 60 rods below the
place where the accident occurred
and it was. Immediately placed in
care Of relatives at Renville.
From the time of the discovery of
the first body until two clock Sun
day afternoon. there was continual
dynamite cannonading along the
river. Sunday morning the crowd
of seachers grew larger, but it re-
mained for Michael O'Connor of
Renville, who was alone at the time,
to find the body floating down the
stream at distance of about three
quarters of mile below the point
where the drowning occurred. It
was materially: effected by explo-
sions OF dynamite and was immedi-
ately taken to Renville.
A reward of 800 was offered for
the recovery of the second body.
When rendered to Mr.. O'Connor he
refused it.

down, on Thursday of last week.
The crowd present was the largest
that has ever put in an appearance
at picnics Of the Old Settlers
Association.
The day opened beautiful, and
early in the morning teams could be
seen going over the prairies in the
direction of Mr.. Jensen's home, no
less than half dozen leaving this
city for that place, some 20 miles
distant from Redwood Falls. The
teams commenced arriving at nine
o'clock and continued arriving un-
one o'clock, when the Jensen barns
were filled with horses, the i'm
mense barns of the Lutheran church
society few rods east of the Jeu-
sen home were likewise filed, while
scattered over the opening between
the latter barns and the church
were in the nelghborhood of so
teams enjoying such fare as they
could obtain out of wagon boxes.
Old Glory waved from a conspic-
uous place in the opening, and was
a beacon light for those picnickers
who did not know just where Mr..
Jensen resided. The Morgan brass
band had been engaged for the
occasion, came early, remained late,
and rendered many superb musical
selections during the day. The
boys have excellent band material,
and with continued practice will
render as fine music as any
band in the State.
Shortly after noon the luncheons
were spread on the grass under the
shade of the huge trees around the
farm residence, or on tables tenn
porarily provided for the purpose,
while Mr. and Mrs. Jensen, assist
ed by large number of the excel
lent ladies of the neighborhood,
cared for those not fortunate enough
to have baskets. But Mr.. and Mrs.
Jensen were not alone in this hos
pitality, for from the many jolly
people enjoying the outing came
pressing invitations to join them at
lunch. An hour or more was spent
at the festive board, and after an
excellent selection by the band
President Jacob Lohrenz called
the gathering to order and speaking
commenced in the park. Mr.. Lob
REM made few opening remarks,
after which he, in succession, intro.

gave five minute speeches which
were heartily applauded. Mr.. Big
ham gave the people an account of
how the township happened to be
named Sundown. This program Of
speaking was interspersed by vocal
music from a dozen or more young
ladies and gentlemen, sons and
daughters of the old settlers, and
the renditions of the group were
heartily applauded.
At four o'clock the weather be-
came threatening, a few drops of
rain fell, and the crowd dispersed
an hour or more earlier that usual,
but with the feeling that Mr.. Jen-
sen had properly entertained the
gathering.
During the afternoon a game Of
ball was played between two Sc
lected mines.
While there was a move on foot
to make the association general
enough to extend over the county
the old settlers expressed Can ad-

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI.

The annual meeting and banquet
of the alumni OF the Redwood Falls
high school occurred at Hotel Fran
co.'s on Wednesday, evening of last
week. The attendance was quite
large.
At about ten clock the members
present adjourned from the parlor
to the dining hall where they sat
down to an elaborate lunch pre-
pared for the purpose, and after half
an hour Or more over the lunch the
toasts were taken up by Prof A. J.
Jones, acting as toastmaster. Miss
Carrie Isham made a neat speech
welcoming the class of '99 to the
association, and this was responded
to by Edmund Westfall, President
of the class. Owing to the absence
of Peter Wolf and Lucy Woodward

which Miss Mary Clipfell responded

recalled his three years. work in
Redwood Falls as being the most
pleasant of his life, and asked that

complied with by the alumni.
James S. Beecher responded to
the toast of the High School Girl, :"

being entertainingly handled by the
speakers. At the conclusion of the
formal programme Rev. John Sin
