A Mothers Desperate Expedient to
Reach Her Dying Child's Bedside.
Chicago, Aug. I'm order that she might
Kenosha. Mrs. Nathan Allan risked her
own life in remarkable way at Evanston
late yesterday afternoon.
1t was shortly after o'clock when Mr..
and Mrs. Allan, who had been pacing the
platform nervously for some time. sought
cut Station Agent Long. and asked if it
were possible for him to stop the fast mail
train for them, explaining that their child
was dying in Kenosha.
'Sorry, but can't do IT., replied Long.
81 ne fast mail never stops here for any
one. There's heavy grade ahead, and a
stop means a delay of fifteen minutes,
and the loss of thousands of dollars by the
missing of connections"
But won't you telegraph the superin-
tendent?" pleaded Mrs. Allan. "Our case
is most urgent"
Long complied, but got reply: Would
like to accommodate for humanitarian rea-
sons. but impossible"
A minute later the fast mail approached,
and before Mr.. Allan realized what was
happening Mrs. Allan stood in the centre
of the track franticalfy waving red go.f
cape. The train was stopped less than
yard from the anguished mother, and En-
gineer Johnson leaped from his cab just In
time to catch Mrs. Allan as she fell in a
faint. The situation was explained 10 the
engineer and conductor as quickly as pos
sible.
"All right, get aboard" said the engin-
Ger, kindly. iii try to make up the time
we've lost. I've got kid of my own, and
I appreciate your feelings"
Mr.. and Mrs. Allan reached their home
in Kenosha while their child still lived,
though in heavy stupor.
When Mrs. Allan recovered from her
fainting spell on the train Conductor
Whalen asked her to explain how it all
happened, saying that the stopping OF the
fast mail at Evanston was unprecedented.
''It would have had TO stop" answered
Mrs. Allan, "for should never have moy-
ed from my position"
Mr.. Allan is a member of the firm of
Allan's Sons, which operates one of the
biggest tanneries in the world. The Allans
live in one of the finest mansions in
Kenosha and are recognized society lead
ers. They have two children, daughter
and the little boy, Francis, two and one
half years old, to reach whose bedside the
mother faced the approaching train.

DIES IN HIS PULPIT.
Sudden Collapse of Mennonite
Pastor I'm Hanover, Pa.

Hanover, Pa, Aug. I've all of US
ought seriously to consider the uncertainty
of this life and shape our course so as TO
be sure of enjoying the future life," said
venerable Rev. Samuel B. Myers, pastor
of the Hanover Mennonite church, in an
address at the largely attended dedication
of the new church OF that faith here yes
terday.
Then the well-known clergyman, who
was IS years of age, sat down, sank in his
chair on the rostrun and expired, 10 the
amazement of the congregation.
The greatest confusion prevailed, neces-
stating the discontinuance of the serv-
ices, in which the dedicatory sermon had
just been preached by Pastor Brackbill, OF
Lancaster county.

Honor for Old King Cole.
(From the London Globe.

According to Anglo-Saxon chroniclers, Colches-
ter owes its name and fame to old King Cole
Coel Godebog, to give him his true title. From
a book compiled by MesTs. Wilson Marriage and
Gurney Benham, two ex-mayors, who have taken
in hand the building Of new town hall, we
learn that Coel the Merry is to be honored in
stained glass and sculptured stone, with the
other worthless, ancient and modern, Of the town.
Municipalities in this country too often lose
their opportunities of making their municipal
buildings storehouses Of local history and quaint
traditions and customs. Colcbester's new town
hall is to be a show place as well as work
place, and we commend il - an example to
other municipalities.

Elders of the Church Raided ut
Sweetwater. Tenn.
Chattanooga Tenn, Aug IA despatch
from Sweetwater Tenn, says that two
Mormon elders were last night hooted and
rotten -egged out of that town. The two
were Elders A. A. Adams and George s.
Sears. 1t is stated from Sweetwater that
the elders were preaching on the street
and that they had been warned by the
crowds to stop, but that they had declined
TO do so. whereupon they were set upon
and driven out.
The multiplicity of Mormon outrages and
assaults all over the South has caused the
officials of the Southern Mormon Nj ssion
TO throw up their hands in desperation al
most. They do not know what to do or
how to go about stopping it.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. THE announce

he would speak for Goebel in Kentucky
many politicians declare, means the loss OF
the Kentucky delegation at the National
Convention for the Nebraska man. The
anti-Goebel people at their State conven-

Young Brown. The latter will be nomi-

of establishing a penal colony there.
According to one authority considerable
progress was made in this direction but
it is evident that the experiment, II
tried at all, was not a success as 9TH
erwise the island would hardly have
been sold to the Prince of Naples.
There, was certainly grim irony in the
thought of Transforming into prison
for criminals the very place which for
so long was refuge for criminals.
That the Prince and Princess OF Ma
pies will heartily enjoy whatever days
they may spend on this rugged and ro-
mantle spot is certain. Both of them
are fond of outdoor life, and there are
few better sportsmen than the prince in
Europe. For that matter there are
very few women who are more skilful
than the princess with shotgun or ri
file. She frequently goes on shooting
expedition, and rare indeed Is the day
on which some trophies do not fall to
her gun.
she recently went to Sptzbergen FOR
some shooting, and was successful in
bringing down many reindeer, as well
as large number OF elder ducks and
other game. Delighting as she does in
free outdoor life, she was naturally
pleased when her husband presented
her with the island of Monte Cristo,
and she has interested herself much
since then in the shooting box which is
being built there and in the arrange
ments which are being made to convert
the rest of the barren island into park
and to stock 1t with various kinds of
game
If the prince and princess desire they
can be as isolated on their island as
they would be in the heart of Africa,
but with this difference, that within
few hours after the whim seizes them
they can be transported from their
oasis to the heart of Italy: whereas, II
they were sojourning on the black con-
tinent they would find the journey back
to civilization much longer and more
difficult.
In conclusion, it may be said that,
thanks to the Prince Of Naples, we are
likely to learn much more about the
island of Monte Cristo in the Near flu
ture than we ever knew before. The
prince and princess may desire solitude
at times, but they are not hermits, and
there is little doubt that the wild goats
will see more human beings during the
next few years than they have seen be-
fore for a long time. There is equally
little doubt that, If the island contains
any reasures--botanical, geological or
whatever they may be-the world will
hear of them before very long.-St. |

inch projectile from a modern breech-
loader, A total of seventeen miles of
S-inch tubes have been laid under
ground in this country since Aug, l.,
1898, which shows the rapid increase Of
the system.
a method Of sweeping and cleaning
railroad stations by compressed air
blowers has been instituted by the Cen
trail Railroad Of New Jersey. 1t has
been found that sweeping and scrub
bling and cleaning can be done far more
efectually with air than in any other
way. Gangs of men furnished with
compressed air blowers are turned
loose after working hours upon the
floors of the various buildings. They
go over every square inch Of surface,
and over the walls and the furniture
with the blowers, which sweep every
speck or dust and dirt before them,
doing the work much better than
double the help could do with brooms.
The railroad hands have found many
uses for the compressed air, which is so
handy for them. They find that it will
clean clothes and fine fabrics as well
as plush seats and carpets, and dozens
of them take their clothes and uni
forms to the men who handle the COM
pressed air, to be cleaned. The work
takes but few seconds is done thor
oughly, and has the advantage Of cost
ing nothing. The men have also found
another and still more unique use for
the air.

spectability and his affection for his
family In every case the suggestion
depends for its moral success upon at
taching itself to the highest native i'm
pulses of which the waking man is
conscious. If a young athelete smokes
necessarily, he is told that he will
fail if he does not stop smoking. little
girl thief who was extremely fond
of her Sunday-school was successfully
influenced by telling her that her thiev-
ing disgraced her and offended God
For each patient I have to find some
ambition, some strong conscious ten
dency to appeal to, and then my sug-
gestion, as an unconscious impulse, con-
trolls the moral weakness by inducing
the patient to further his desires by
honest means and the cutting off OF
immoral habits, which tend to defeat
his ambitions OF course, if a man has,
like one Of my patients, no ambition in
the world save to be good billiard
player he can't be cured of the liquor
habit, because his highest ambition
takes him straight into danger
1T is q curious fact that it is far
easier to make a thief into an honest
man than to make an honest man steal.
That illustrates finely the dependence
of the whole treatment on the existence
in the subliminal mind OF moral I'M
pulses, Suggestion depends for success
on rousng the moral impulses to great
err strength and so when suggestion
opposes the moral impulse, 1t is nearly
sure to fail My own experience has
given me full proof Of this, and the
fact is important as a safeguard against
the criminal use of suggestion.
My Investigations are far from COM
plete, for I am learning new things
every day. But have gone far enough,
and have had enough success with my
own patients to demonstrate that hyp-
motto suggestion has a very wide field
of usefulness, While there are many
successes to be obtained with adults,
the best are to be found in children,
who are most impressionable, and
whose moral obliquities are less firmly
fixed by the indulgence of years. With
them the power of suggestion amounts
almost to a regeneration The subject,
too, has extremely interesting connec-
tons with the religious sense. That
side of the matter l shall present in a
lecture before the Psychic Study Club

BISMARCK, N. D., Sept. 4, 1899.
To Prof. William Moore, Principal CITY
Schools:
SIR send to you this little plant of
our native Sine leaf woodbinc, with the
request that it be planted IN the high
school grounds among the trees, called
by the names of officers of the civil war
and that the children be taught to
call it the elizabeth Custer Woodbine."
l brought it one year ago from the
site of old Fort Lincolp-by the side of
the ruins of the p~ortico of Gen. Clusters
house, where it once grew luXuriantly,
and have carefully tended it since, until
now it is strong enough to go forth on a
mlsslonof loving remembrance-in honor
of a good and gentle woman-and to be
preserved as a memento of n of the
bravest of that Legion of Loyal Wo-
men, who, during the dark days of our
endangered union, shared with their
husbands the hardships of the march,
faced with them the horrors of the hos
pital and in later days endured with
them the dangers of the Indian war.
The story of Gen. Custer fills a bril-
liant page in North Dakota's history.
When your teacher tells the story to
the children of the future, let them also
tell of her, who, like this clinging vine
among the stalwart trees, adorned and
blessed his frontier home-that thus,
among the names of our army pioneers.
whose achievements made possible the
settlement of North Dakota, may be pre-
served the beautiful name of our be-
loved Elizabeth Custer. Respectfully,

FORT RICE AND MANNING ITEMS.

fORI NICE AND MANNING ITEMS.
Friday, Sept. l, must have been bor-
rowed from July.
Josephine, the 6-months-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. German Shabut of Fort
Rice, died Saturday afternoon, Aug. 26,
1899. The little one had been ailing for
some time, but got worse Saturday and
died before they could get a doctor. The
funeral was held from the Catholic
church, Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs. Shabot
have the heartfelt sympathy of all their
friends and neighbors.
The Swanson boys have gone having
down on their hay claim.
Mrs. Henry Crawford has been suffer
ing from a severe cold the past week.
She went to Bismarck Wednesday for
treatment and will remain till her health
improves. Mrs. Landgraeber and Mrs.
Appel went down to the formers place
Wednesday afternoon to stay a few days.
The swallows are tiocking, which re-
minds us that summer is over.
When Mr.. Boyer and his son August
were coming home from haying the other
day they discovered u team standing
alone, hitched to a mower. On coming
nearer they saw a man stretched on the
ground, behind the horses. They called
to him, but received no reply. Becom-
ing alarmed, they rushed up to him and
shook him, and found out that he was
taking a nap with the lines wrapped
around his wrists. If the horses had
become frightened-but we will not say
any more, only wonder how some people
can be so careless.
