On the Mankato- New Ulm cutoff on
the North Western, between the Mime
SOFA river and the st. Z. r. R. bridge a
pile driver is at work for the bridge to
be constructed IN that locality, contrac-
tor Boedker being in charge Of the
force employed there. By some unac-.
.eQuntable accident the pile driver broke
down and fell with full force upon War
rem Hughes, young man employed
there. Hughes limbs we-e shattered
and besides this the unfortunate man
was injured internally. Without any
delay he was taken to the st. Alexander
hospital where Dr.. A. F. Strickler was
attending him. At the first glance the
physician discerned the case as entirely
hopeless, in fact Hughes was breathing
his last when be arrived at the hospital
The body was taken to Saverien's un-
dertakjng blishment and coroner
Rothenburg was Immediately notified.
Deceased was twenty EIGHT years old
and hailed from Woodstock, Pipestone
county. He arrived here with contrac-
tor Boedker at the beginning Of the
work and has been employed steadily.
As his comrades and his employer say
Hughes was an exemplary young man,
not addicted to any bad habits. His bro

and wire message was sent Immediate
.ly to the Office at Woodstock asking tn at
he be notified. Up to the time we go to
press no answer has been received AS
the body can not be kept at the morgne
for a longer period, it will probably be
inferred to day, if no answer should
reach here in the meantime.

Child Murder.
Skagway Budget.

Skagway Budget.
 Notwithstanding the strenuous ef- forts put forth by officials of Alaska to put stop to the barbarous practices of witchcraft among the Indians, and the recent severe punishment inflicted on the Indians for that crime, it con- tinues to be practiced. A case IS re- ported from KfllisnOo, wherin an Indian child was made the victim of witch craft superstition.
 An Indian woman was living in the same house with the parents of the child, and for some months had been sick and suffering great agony. She was waited upon by shaman, or h. dian doctor, who went through With various inCantations known to the pro- fession, but failed to drive the evil spirit out of the sick woman. Being chagrined at his failure, and to main tain his professional reputation, he told the woman that she was bewitched, and before she could be recovered the witch had to be removed. He told her that he would that night commune with the Great Spirit and ascertain who was bewitching her.
 Next day he informed her that 1t was the little child with whose parents she was living, and for her restoration to health the child must be killed.
 A few days later the child died so suddenly that it's parents thought something was wrong and reported the matter to the authorities. who had the body examined by a physician, who pronounced it's death to be the result of poisoning.
 The child's parents accused the sick woman and shaman of the crime, to which she confessed, while the shaman, before arrests could be made, took the woman in a canoe and disappeared. Warrants will be issued for their arrest, but as the shamans have great influence with the Indians, as they are looked up on with superstitious awe, they will be kept out of the way of the officers.

Sitka Alaskan.
 There was fine game of baseball yesterday between the Sitka team and a picked nine from the passengers on the steamer Queen. There was some fine playing on both sides, and the players were heartily cheered by the 800 people who watched the game. Our boys were too much for the visitors, winning the game by a score of IS to F. There has not been so much ex- citement in Sitka for many day, or as much noise as there was during the progress of the game. Of course the tourists cheered the Queen team and the town people and natives cheered the Sitka team, and good plays on either side were cheered by all. The home team was composed of H. A.. Davis, Nick Bolshannin, John Kasna- koff, Henry Bahrt, Jack Hanna, Tom Haley, Fred Acers, Larry McCatheron and William Larianoff.

Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urcr and PhfIanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
clement for which the middle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, Of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peer. As
. manufactures, az an enterprising cap
italist and as q p~hilanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and ~wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years Of
age, car look back upon scores OF COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con
ditions. works ever toward perfection.
and after years of p~ainstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made ,

discovery, which he considers tho
browning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied In a
new article of commerce., known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark He is planning to distribute
millions Of packages of this starch to
the housewives OF America, at a merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but 5 cents two large
1oc packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed In IL
beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Gem
fury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series of eight Shakespearean
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-yiews alone easily worth
$500. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements, OF which
every lady viii certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture of
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested
street railways, electric lighting plants
and the Mississippi Valley Telephone
Co., with 10000 telephone subscribers
in Minneapolis and st. Paul--nor will
his augmented activity interfere with
his social obligations and exercise Of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keokuk home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the
pivot around which his activity re-
wolves, and while fond Of promoting
great enterprises, hesis.still fonder Of
his home circle, where he spends every
moment of time not taken up by bust
ness or public cares. A

1904. 1t is said that only one of four
Of these dollars ever left the mint, and
they are consequently very valuable.
The dollar in question was given sew
eral months ago by a whose
name, if known, is kept secret, to Lad
islar Altman, a clerk in the dry goods
store of L. T. Hartnett in payment for
goods bought. The woman did not
know that the dollar was worth more
than its face value; in fact, she hesi-
tated about using it at all for fear that
it was not genuine. The clerk, with
out knowing how rare the coin was,
recognized it as an odd piece and put
it into his pocket, handing over to the
cashier a dollar of his own. For sew
eral months thereafter he carried the
1904 dollar about as a pocket piece.
One day he showed it to a friend at a
bank and was informed that it was
worth not less than $500. In order to
verify this estimate he sent it to a
coin buyer in Chicago, who promptly
offered $500 for it. The clerk still
did not sell, having heard that a SIM
liar coin had sold for 2 still larger
sum in New York. But, though he did
not sell, he talked, and the story
reached the ears of Mr.. Hartnett, his
employer. Mr.. Harnett promptly
claimed that the dollar either belonged
to the funds of the store or to the
woman who had rendered it without
knowing its value. He demanded that

says the Philadelphia Post, was very

Cevennes, but this free, open air life
and vigorous exercise soon restored her
to the most robust health, and when
friends asked her the secret of her
cure, she answers, Spades and pota-
toes" Last summer she went into her
kitchen garden and cared for her own
vegetables. No one vas allowed to
touch them, and the results were far
better than when her gardener cared
for the things. Mademoiselle Calys
wore a short skirt of blue jeans, sabots,
and a linen shirtwaist. She spaded and
hoed and watered her vegetables day
after day, and proudly sent gifts of the
finest fruits OF her labors to friends in
