was seen the same evening by some
friends in company with some strangers

lett for Ireland. Nothing more was
heard of him then until he came back
to ST. Paul last June He went to work
for the water department again as hose

A curious find has been made in the
office of the city engineer. 1t is a map
of the river, showing the currents and
channels in the particular portion now
under discussion in regard to the vaca-
ton request from the Union Depot COM
pany. The map was prepared in 1884, at
the time Maj Mckenzie was here as
government engineer.
The channel is represented as hugging
the north side of the river as close as
possible, which would make the propos-
ed ill OF the Onion Depot company come

Heavy feeders on animal food are
predisposed to all kinds of inf1amma-
tory disorders, and when any such
person finds himself getting out of
condition he may safely hedge in the
matter of flesh food, cutting down the
amount of such food or emitting it
altogether with perfect safety A
strict vegetarian diet, even, cannot be
called an experiment, since we know
that millions of people thrive on it.
and no one could ever starve on it,
With fruit, nuts. milk and eggs added,
no lack of variety need be felt. The
Japanese are a healthy. handsome
race. They are plump and hearty but
little beyond simple vegetarian diet is

1t seems quite likely that the Pres
hyterian church. North, will be called
upon again to consider revision of
the Westminster confession of faith.
From various parts of the country
come statements made by Presbyter-
ian clergymen advocating revision or
a new creed. The venerable DR.. Theo-
dore L. Cuyler of New York, who has
been considered conservative, is one
of the latest to declare that there are
certain parts of the confession in
which he does not believe. Notable
among the overtures from presby-
teries asking for revision is a petit
ton from the presbytery of Nassau.

jamestown recently from the Standing
Rock reservation, where he has been
looking after certain offenders. A
short time ago a white man on the

promises to be of short duration.
The new anti-bralle-beam law. aimed
at hoboes who prefer stealing Il ride to
paying their fare. does not appear in
the Few code recently issued. and some
of the justices are in doubt as to
whether the law can be enforced. The
law is also unpopular, as the several
counties in which convictions have
Eeen secured do not like the expense.
Testimony has been taken in the con-
test case of Arthur Genung VS.. Roy
II. Shaler. A valuable quarter-section
of land located near Edmunds is in
volved. There was no appearance on
the part of the defendant who disap-
peared under Il cloud some time ago.
