Bitten by . Monkey.

Charles Reilly, Is years old, living

pennies for an Italian organ grinder.
Young Reilly, it is said, pretended to
have a penny in his hand, which he
held out to the faithful little collector.
Being fooled several times the mon
key snapped at the extended hand and
buried its teeth deep into the fore
finger of the left hand. The bone is
now decaying and amputation will be
necessary. The physician thinks that

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.
Aluminium Has Not Proved to BE the
Useful Metal That 1t Was
Expected to BE.

it was scarce and dear. TWAS predict
ed that it would ultimately be used for
a great variety of purposes, says a
trade paper. These expectations un-
fortuna tely have not been realized. AS
time went on it was discovered that,
contrary to what was first believed,
it was readily acted upon by solutions
of many salts, by acids, including vine
gar, and especially by alkalies, though
it excelled copper in the resistance
which it offered to nitric acid. Be-
sides, aluminium for kitchen utensils
and the like has the great objection
that it blackens the hands like lead.
To obviate this drawback it is ire
quently coated with a layer of silver,
but this in itself is no easy ma tier, for
aluminium is so porous that it retains
water and impurities obstinately,
with the result that bubbles are
formed in the electro deposit, or that
this peels off in the polishing process.
The chief remedy is to thoroughly
cleanse the aluminium and to give it a
preliminary coating with another
metal, preferably copper, before sill
vering. Several patents have recently
been taken out for processes on these
lines. Another great drawback to the
general use of aluminium is that it has
hitherto been very difficult to- unite
two separate pieces Of the metal. This
objection, however, will probably be
met by the welding process of He
raeus, which has recently been pro-
tected in several countries. In this
the welding is so complete that the
juncture is practically invisible and
the aluminium can be rolled out: q
thin sheet without separating into its
component parts. "A, - I'LL III:

Drainage


George A. Ralph, civil engineer in
charge of the work to be done by the
state drainage commission, has about
completed his surveys Of the four prin.
cipal canals to be built from the state
appropriation. The work, it is said,
will be done in Norman, Polk. Roseau
and Marshall counties. One of the
chief improvements will be the open
ing Of the channel of Lost river, in
eastern Polk county, which involves
the building of drainage ditch
through a swamp into Beltrami county,
five miles long, and unite the two beds
of the stream, whereby: several thou
sand acres of land will be redeemed for
production. In Roseau countya ditch
nine miles long will be opened from a
point northeast of Badger to the
Roseau river, while the condition in
Marshall county will he bettered by
digging canal five miles long in range
a. to Middle river. A large tract in
Norman county, in the townships OF
Good Hope and Shelley, will be drained,
with Marsh river as the outlet. The
amount of canal work to be done will
aggregate twenty-six miles.
Serious Accident.
A serious accident occurred about
two miles northwest of Porter. The
boiler of Sam Watkins threshing en-
CINE exploded, instantly killing Mrs.
c. L. Christensen and seriously injur-
ing Lars Christensen, John Amundson
and q farm hand. Mrs. Christensen
just stepped out to announce dinner,
and was standing about twenty feet in
the rear of the engine when the ex-
plosion occurred. 1t tore out both
ends of the engine, causing it to jump
back about twenty feet, one of the
drive wheels striking Mrs. Christensen.
Fire was set to the separator, which
is a complete loss.

r. G.. EVANS. rs DEAD.
Death Comes Without Warning to
the Eminent Lawyer.
While Surrounded by His Children at His
Home He IL Succumbs to an Attack
of Heart Disease, Foremost
In Law and Politics

Minneapolis. Aug. 26.-Robert G. Evans,
United States district attorney. died sud-
denly yesterday morning on the balcony
Of his residence. 2o36 Queen avenue south,
Kenwood. Heart disease was. the cause
Of death. Mr.. Evans was Al years old.
The circumstances attending the death
Of Mr.. Evans were unusual, not to say
dramatic.
About 7:45 o'clock in the morning Mr..
Evans went to his daughters bedroom.
Grasping the footboard Of her bed he
shook it to awaken her, as he seemed
unable to speak. Just as she awoke Mr..
Evans staggered from the room and made
his way back through his own room and
out onto the balcony over the porch.
There he seized the railing, threw back
his head and gasped for air. Then he
sank to the floor, dead.
His daughter. Margaret, reached the
balcony a moment later. So did Mrs.
Edward S. Pattee, who resides directly
opposite the Evans home. Mrs. Pattee
who was seated on her porch witnessed
the death of Mr.. Evans.
She saw him come out onto the balcony
and clutch the railing. She saw him
throw back his head gasp for breath and
fall. She ran across the street and into
the house. reaching the balcony almost
as soon as did Miss Evans. Mr.. Evans
was dead before his daughter arrived at
his side.
w. H. Levings. who lives next door,
was aroused. and he at once summoned
DR.. J. E. Moore. DR.. Moore arrived five
minutes later, but nothing could be done
except to carry the body into the house.
Robert Grenap Evans was born at
Troy, Ind, March IS, 1854. He was the
son Of Joseph S. Evans and was of Welsh
and English descent
Mr.. Evans attended the public schools
of Rockport, Ind. until his eighteenth
