SALTWATER, June M-(SpeciaI9-
James c. Pratt, one of the most popular
young men in the city, was drowned last
evening in Carnelian lake, about six miles
northeast of the city, where he was fish
and Carl Larson.
News of the accident was brought last
evening by a farmer, but he had not
learned the details. AS near as can be
gathered from the report the party We're
fishing from a boat, some distance from
shore, when in some way it was capsized
and Pratt disappeared. Birmingham and
Larson held to the boat, and finding that
Pratt did not rise, Birmingham dove, but
could not find him, the water at that
spot being about forty feet deep 1t is
supposed that, as Pratt was good swim
mer, he must have been struck by the
boat or caught under it as it turned over.
Pratt was about thirty years old. He
served in Company K, Thirteenth Mime
sofa volunteers, in the Philippines, and
was known to many in st. Paul. He had
long been a member of the national guard,
and was very popular with the young
men of the city. He Is the son of ]. H

The opulelce which reward, success in

moral worth, and reverence for justice
constitute spiritual grandeur which no
accumulation of wealth can ever equal.
The fleets of the great republic should
bear to the Orient not only the valuable
freights of commerce, but also the bless
ings-far more precious than merchandise
or enlightenment, liberty and civiliza-
ton.

Il suffered from pains in my back and
from other. evidences of weakened or
over excited action OF my kidneys and
rheumatism resulted. from the failure of
those organs to carry off the uric acid
from the system. The use of Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at F. NJ. Parker S

Americans, ought not only to augment
the commerce and supply the wants of
the United States, but also to promote
the material welfare and ameliorate the
social condition of the Philippine peo-
pie.
The impulse which the opening of the
Orient will give to the worlds trade can
not fail to benefit the United States
One of the probable effects OF this OK
pansion will be the revival of American
shipping. The Independence which our
countrymen long ago won in government
and manufactures they have not yet
achieved in ocean transportation. This
reliance upon Europe for the marine car
riage of our merchandise is a costly de-
pendence. We are now paying about
$500, 600 a year to foreign vessels for
the transport of American freights end
passengers. The saving of this vast and
unnecessary expenditure would alone as
sure national enrichment 1t is amazing
that Americans who are so prosperous in
other industries should not be equally
successful in ship building. The COM
mercial expansion Of the Orient will re-
quire larger fleets. These merchantmen
should be built near our own dockyards
Then American workmen would receive
the wages which are now paid TO foreign
laborers, and the vessels which our own
| shipwrights constructed would give en-
ployment to American sailors. ami save
the enormous sums which our merchants
are now paying to European companies
for the transportation of American COM
modities.
The portals of the Orient will not sud
denly be thrown open. AS the gates
slowly swing ajar, the great mercantile
nations of the West will throng the en-
trance. Americans will have TO monop-
| oily of Asiatic trade The competition for
| the commerce OF the far East will be
| intense and incessant. Our European
