Foot B all.

On Saturday last the Long Prairie
High school eleven came down to
Sank Centre, accompanied by score
of friends, ladies and gentlemen, for
the purpose of playing return game
of foot ball with the Sank Centre High
school. A good game was anticipated
and no one was disappointed. The
playing was fast and furious, and the
teams were very evenly matched.
Neither teams scored point during
the entire game. The unfortunate
feature was the breaking of the leg of
Prof. Martin of the High school, just
before the close of the second half.
In the rough and tumble contest his
leg was broken just at the ankle. He
was carried from the field and the
fracture reduced by DR.. Dubois.
In the evening a dancing party was
given at the City Opera house, the
Long Prairie team and their friends
being the guests of honor. Taken all
in all it was a fine game.

In the unfortunate controversy
between the Board of Control and
the State Normal board a feeling
of bitterness has arisen which can
not fail to be prejudicial to all in
terests concerned. VIM. B. Mitch
ell, who has been resident director
of the Normal school at St. Cloud
for many years, has, as been an
nounced, resigned, perhaps prema-
turely in view of the fact that
possible adjustment of differences
might be reached. Gov. VanSant
has appointed Alvah Estman to
succeed Mr.. Mitchell, prematurely
pending a possible adjustment.
Of Mr.. Estman's fitness for the po-
sition, there is no doubt. He will
make a good man for the place but
Mr.. MitchelI's services are worthy
of very serious consideration.

Bank Burglars Arouse Residents of an

Mount Vernon, O., Oct. 16.-A dar-
ing attempt at bank robbery occurred
at Danville during the morning. The
safe and vault were wrecked by>an
explosion of dynamite that aroused
the citizens and pitched battle took
place between them and the robbers.
The latter, of whom there were eight,
took to flight. At Buckeye City they
had rigs in readiness and the pursuit
continued until a dense wood was
reached where the vehicles were
abandoned by the robbers, who sought
cover. The woods and all roads in the
neighborhood have been placed under
guard and IT is expected that the men
will be captured. At least one of the
robbers was wounded in the fight.

GETS NEW TRIAL
NEW YORK COURT OF APPEALS
DECIDES THE ROLAND B.
MOLlNEUx CASE.
UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH

Was Convicted in New York City,
After Trial Lasting Several
Months, of the Murder of Katherine
J. Administrator by the Lower Court
in Admitting Certain Evidence the
Ground for Reversal.
Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE court of
appeals has granted Roland B. Moli-
neux new trial.
Molineux was convicted of the MUIR
der of Katherine J. Adams in New
York city and sentenced to death. The
court grants new trial on an opinion
written by Judge Werner of Roches-
ter, his principal ground being that the
lower court erred in admitting evil
dence as to another alleged crime, the
death of Barnett, and thus merged two
issues.
Every member of the court of ap-
ment of conviction of Molineux on the
ground the trial court erred IN re-
ceiving the evidence the declarations
of Barnett made to Doctors Phillips
and Douglass that he had received
Kultnow's powders through the mails.
The only question on which the
members of the court differ in the
opinion relates to the receiving of
evidence that Barnett was killed by
the same method used in taking the
life of Mrs. Adams. Four members Of
the court agree that the evidence
should not be received. The other
three members of the court hold that
evidence is admissible in that the evil
dence in the Barnett case pointed to-
ward Molineux tends to identify him
as the person who killed Mrs. Adams
while attempting to take the life Of
Cornish by means of that rare poison
known as cynanide of mercury.

JAPAN WANTS KOREA.
Predicted War With Russia Will Be
the Result.

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-A war be-
tween Russia and Japan over Korea is
predicted by DR.. Nicholas Sem, pro-
fessor of surgery in the University of
Chicago, who has arrived here from a
tour of the Orient. Said he:
while I was in Japan l noticed on
every hand that the Japanese were
making preparations for war with Rus
STA and they made no secret of it.. The
cause of the trouble is no secret in
Japan. It wants Korea. Japan is not
large enough for Japan. Russia prac-
tically holds Manchuria and Japan
does not intend letting this nation ex-
tend it's influence to Korea if this con-
dition can be prevented. Hence the
preparations for war;

LETTER FROM MISS STONE.
Tells of Her Capture and Urges That
the Ransom Be Paid.


the Ransom Be Paid.
New York, Oct. 16.-According to a
dispatch to The Journal and Advertis-
er from Sofia, further word has come
from Miss Stone in the following let
ter, written from Macedonia to w. w.
Peet, treasurer of the Turkish Mission
in Constantinople:
my Honored Friend; write to in
form you that on the 23d of Septem-
Der l was captured by a number of
armed men, some 40, as l Travelled
from Sans'lo to Diumaala with II
teachers, students and others.
They took with me my companion,
Mrs. Catherine Tsilka. The reason
why they captured us is for a ransom.
The price which they demand for us is
G25000, Turkish, which sum must be
paid in gold, and this entirely without
the knowledge of the Turkish and Bull
garian governments, within the term
of Is days.
1.-THE condition of Mrs. Tsilka decid-
ed the limit, as she is to give birth to a
child in three months.
1--WE are pursued by a Turkish army.
l beg DR.. Haskell himself to go to
ConStant1nople and exert hlmsel1 1or
the payment of the ransom at Sama-
kov, where men will receive it on pre-
senting an order from me. The men
who captured us at first showed cour-
tesy and consideration towards us,
but now, since Turkish soldiers and
bashibazouks have begun to pursue
us and the ransom is delayed, our con-
dition Is altogether changed.
Therefore, 1 beg you to hasten
sending the ransom demanded and
that as theoretically as possible you
will represent to the Turkish govern
ment that it stop the pursuit of us by
soldiers and bashibazouks, otherwise
we shall be killed by the people in
whose hands we are. I pray you to
communicate without delay the con-
tents of this letter to the representa-
tive of the United States at the porte
and request his most serious co-opera-
ton"

Town to New York is announced
with sincere regret by the HERALD.
While it has nothing in common
with his political views the state
of Minnesota loses an able, fearless,
honest dreamer in the person of
Mr.. Town. He is an optimistic pes
simist, in that he believes that his
views and methods, which he al
ways believes will prevail, will ele-
vate the nation to the most exalted
crest of the wave of prosperity,
which otherwise will be engulfed
in the deepest trough of an over
whelming sea. His departure from
