Most Part of Three Years.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. A special
to the Daily News from Hiawatha,
Kas., says:
}. S. Lytle, Kansas pioneer, died
here at six o'clock Tuesday morning.
His sickness lasted three years and
was particularly noticeable in that
he slept most of the time. While in
Santa Ana, Cal, he slept from May
20 to august 20. He was brought
home early in September and has
been sleeping continuously since the
second day of that month. lie died

A LAST DESPERATE EFFORT.
The Condemned Mans Futile Effort
to Escape.

Mount Holly, N. j., Dec. 4.-Charles
Brown made a desperate attempt to
break Jail short time before the
hour set for his execution Tuesday
morning. As his spiritual adviser,
Rev. ]. c. Diesinger, of Camden, was
leaving the cell, in compliance with
a wish of the prisoner that he be left
alone half an hour to prepare himself
for death, Brown suddenly rushed
from his cell armed with piece Of
lead pipe which he brandished at the
guards. Surprised by the suddenness
of the attack, the guards fell back.
Brown dashed down the corridor,
sprang down short fight of steps
and reached the kitchen. He waved
aside guards who were following him,
jumped through a window and
reached the yard, where he armed
himself with an ak. One of the dep
uties who approached the desperate
man was struck on the arm with the
piece of pipe, but others closed in on
Brown and overpowered him. He was
manacled and placed in his cell to
await execution.

Village Order Case.

Next Saturday is the date set
for the taking of testimony be-
fore Clerk OF Court Speelman in
the village orders case. 1t will
be remembered that certain citi-
zens, headed by w. Schroeder,
protested against the payment Of
various village orders, claiming
they were illegal. An injunction
against their payment, until their
legality could be passed upon,
was served upon the village
treasurer. 1t was set aside by
Jude McC lenahan. An appeal
was taken, and last week the SUI
preme court affirmed the decis-
ion Of the Judge.
Last weeks News claimed that
this decision Of the Supreme
court was a defeat to the Schroe-
der crowd, but Attorney CraW-
ford still smiles. In fact, the
plaintiffs seem to have things as
they want them. They have kept
the orders tied up all summer
by the injunction methods, and it.
i'd hardly probable that treas
urer would pay the orders at this
time, so close upon the date set
for its hearing. Upon this pre-
sumption, the plaintiffs did not,
appear before the supremecourt.

The Bemidji pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Beltrami County, Minn.) 1896-1917, 1901-10-24

More than two years ago,
when Bemidji was as yet but a
mere village in the forest, and
before the railroad had pene-
trated to Lake Bemidji, the Rev.
Robert Forbes, D. D., presiding
elder Of the NJ. &. church, visited
this town. Preaching to a public
gathering of the villagers he laid
the first foundations Of the pres
ent Methodist cause.
The Rev. G.. 2. Watson shortly
after this took hold Of the work
here, and commenced the pres
emit structure. BY tireless ener.
gy and an undaunted courage he
held the methodist people to the
idea Of a first class modern
church edifice. To this end a
solid foundation of the designed
plan was laid on lots at the COR
ner of Beltrami avenue and Ninth
street, donated by the townsite
company, through the kindness

ElocutIon--Its Value.

The value of elocution as a method of
teaching English literature is beyond
question. The reason so few people APP
preciate poetry is. in some degree at least,
because so few can read it WELL With
many people their fayorite poems are
those which during some period of their
lives they have heard read with good elo-
cutionary effect. Good reading is stimu-
lating and quickens the artistic apprecia-
tion. When we reflect that lyric poetry
was sung or spoken long before it was
written, when we recall its genesis among
