MAN, MEETS A GRUESOME
DEATH
BELIEVED IT Was SUICIDE
FOUND WITH HIS HEAD THRUST

ROOM

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Jan. 25.-(Special.)- y
This afternoon the body of F. A. Lemke
was discovered at the residence of ].
Orton and indications point to a suicide
under unusual conditions and by means
as gruesome as it was unique. When the
body was discovered Lemke's head was
inside the door of stove used for heat
ing purposes and burning wood. The
head and face were burned beyond recog
milton and the clothing as far as the
waist was burned away. The door of the
stove is an aperture only seven and one
half inches wide and thirteen inches
high, so small that in the opinion of the
police the theory of accident is unten,
able. There being nothing to indicate
foul play the authorities have been
forced to adopt the theory Of suicide and
have acted upon that view.
Lemke for two years has been a resi-
dent of st. Cloud, having come here at
that time from st. Paul, where his
mother still resides. He has made his
home at the boarding house conducted by
Mrs. Reynolds and has been a Christian

THE SLOW W-iR,

When the war in South Africa began the British troops were going to eat their Christmas dinner in Pretoria. Now the expectation is that they will be eating there in about six weeks. It is, we suppose, barely possible that they may not eat there until the Fourth of July, which would be very appro- priate date. But it is evident that en- couraging progress is being made by Lord Roberts, and that the general ad- vance, so long retarded, is now likely to go on again. The central British army is now in line with the extreme left at Boshof, under Lord Methuen, and the extreme right at Elandslaagte, un- der General Butler, so that movements of these wings in co-oberation with the main army may soon be expected.
 Meanwhile the Beers continue to be quite as successful in getting off as the British are in getting on. But they will eventually be caught and compelled to fight or surrender

 HELP FOR THE F BIRDS.

Those who have been laboring to pro- 1 tect the birds from being butchered to
 help make Woman beautiful will be
 much encourag ged by what has happened in New York. The signing of the Hal l lock bill by Governor Roosevelt has been followed by a conference between the secretary of the Millinery Merchants
 Protective association, the executive committee of the State Audubon Socie-
 ty and the treasurer of the Ornithologi-
 cal Union. The officers of the bird pro-
 tectors' clubs were allowed to see next
 seasons styles, were taken through va
 rious feather factories and shown that
 that name is not misnomer;
 that many of the feathers sold to the
 military trade are made from the plum age of the farm yard fowls and of the food birds killed in season The Milli- merry Merchants association drew up resolution by which it's members agree not to use the plumage of any birds ex- cept domestic fowls and game birds kill ed in season for food, after their present stock is exhausted. These resolutions will be formally agreed to in a confer ence between the associations soon.
 The need of protection for the birds is indicated by an auction sale which has just taken place in Mincing Lane, London. The catalogue of the auction comprised 97 packages of osprey feath- CTS, IA packages of peacock feathers, 5,970 bird of paradise skins, Il ,652 Im peyan and Argus pheasants, 331 pack ages of skins of various birds, 25 pack ages of pelican quills, besides a large assortment of feathers and skins of owls, jays, parrots, kiligfishers, bee eaters, tanagers and humming birds. In the case of the birds of paradise l, ,113 skins were those of females which indi- cates that the males are almost extinct, and that the traders have had to kill the female birds to meet the demand. Of owls an immense number have been slaughtered for millinery purposes, one firm alone cataloguing 160Q0 of these birds.

4 BIC WA1CH.

St. Louis is going to have a fair in
 1903, and Chicago doesn't seem to be at all jealous. She doesn't need to be, for it is not at all probable that St. Louis
 fair line. But she will. of course, have
 many things that were not thought of
 for Chicago. Among them will be a
 mammoth watch. II will lie on it's
 back, will have polished metal case
 just like the ordinary watch, and will
 be so large and roomy inside that peo-
 pie will be able to walk around in it,
 among the moving wheels. It will be
 nearly seventy-five feet in diameter, and
 more than forty feet high, with neat
 little stairways running all about in 1t, and all the wheels properly protected so that no one can be hurt nor have his clothes soiled. The balance wheel will weigh ton, and what is called the
 "hair-spring" in watch will be as thick as mans wrist. It will take about two minutes for the balance wheel to swing around and back again It will be pivoted on two enormous agate blocks-substtute for diamonds and will be made of brass. One of the greatest difficulties will be in get ting a balance-spring of the size and strength that can stand the strain and keep it's elasticity. The handspring, of course, will be an enormous affair, some thing over 300 feet in length, and made of ten spring steel bands two inches thick bound together, as it would be impossible to roll so large piece, either in thickness or length. The projector of the enterprise claims, of course, that the scheme has an educational side. Those who visit the watch will be given instructions" he says with prac- tica illustrations on the care of watch, Guides will point out and name

DEAD SURE.

The Democratic party is sure to win, said Brother Bryan at Toledo. "The people are with us this year, and they are in sympathy With the principles which shall be embodied in the Kansas City platform, and which represent the feelings of the great mass of American people"
 If we forget not, it was only four years ago when Brother Bryan was as sure that the Democratic party was go- ing to win as he is now. He was so sure then that he was dead sure, as the boys say. He is dead sure now, and the indications are that he will be dead sure when the voters get through with him next November.

TELLING THE GIANT REDwooDs


 | TELLING THE GIANT REDWOODS 1 It Is a most interesting sight to be- l hold one of these giant redwoods fall l The process of cutting IS affected l through the use of the axe and the saw All axes are double faced, though which much time is saved in sharpening l Sometimes the axes start the cut on 1 both sides of the trunk and at places l about opposite each other through the l thickness of the tree. After the chop ping has pehetrated to a depth Of about l two feet on each side the saw Is started l in the line of incision and the job com pleted with that instrument. General Ny, however, the direction in which the tree is to fall is determined and the cut is made in that side to the depth of from
 one to three feet. Then the choppers
 pass to the opposite side and bsgin saw ing at point several feet higher than the place of the incsion. As the saw moves through the heart of the giant he begins to sag down on the side where the wound is gaping. In doing this he lifts apart the cut and opens the section
 which the saw is making, thereby keep
 ing free play for the saw. This is aided at times by driving wedges at the place where the saw entered.
 Presently it is apparent that the sec tion is opening wider and that the tree is beginning to lean away from the cut terS They continue with their work moment longer, then is heard the crack ing of the wood flores in front of the saw teeth. Another swish of the saw a nd he ,pic ,yix- , report like firing pistols and the rapid ity of detonation of a Gatllng gun. The sounds, getting even more rapid, pres ently become a continuous roar. Then, If you are standing near by and the tree is large, you will get the impression that everything above is coming to earth; that the whole forest is falling The great mast starts slowly to topple, cracking and exploding ever louder at its base, until with fearful momentum 1t comes sprawling down, cracking and crashing and roaring and hitting the earth with clump and thump as if whole broadside of thirteen-inch bombs had simultaneously struck basIon.
 The choppers quickly run over the trunk with their axes and cut away all the branches. Almost before you can recover yourself the long stalk is bare of limbs, and then the men begin cross cutting 1t into logs or sections of from twenty-four to thirty feet, as long as 1t is desired that the boards into which it is to be reduced at the mill shall be. This done, the logs are peeled of their bark, the crowbar being used to pry off the thick integument. which is some times foot in depth, the log being turned with jackscrews, when such is practicable to get at the under side.- San Francisco Call

clinging sleeves reaching to the elbow. There has never been a time when a woman could so safely select a sleeve precisely to suit her arm and yet be in the fashion. If the lower part of the arm is the least pretty, long mits of lace, chiffon or even silk to match the rest of the gown may be worn. These may stop as far above the elbow as you like. Then sleeves may be slashed and opened so that the pretty part of the arm is shown while the less attractive section is hidden or relieved
 Tucking and pleating apparently are in for a big run. The variety in this finish is considerable, but more notice able is the amount of it put on one gown The dress shown in half length here was not exceptional in this respect yet it was tucked all round in both blouse and skirt, and even the sleeves had their share. It was sketched in gray cloth. It was topped by deep white satin collar that was dotted with red. Below this was design in black silk cord and fish net. Taffeta comes in for side pleating, tucking and laying in tiny box-pleats. Cording seems to be less used than it was. Wonderful ef- fects are possible in tuckery. Take, for instance q black jacket elaborated by squares of tucked taffeta set in, the tucking presenting Chinese puzzle of criss-cross. The little box pleats are, perhaps, the latest, They are used on bodices with good effect, where at the waist line the pleats narrow to empha- size the lessening of the waist.
