Louise Askren, who passed away atthe
home OF her sister, Mrs. G. W. King,
at three o'clock. Deceased was little
known here, arriving from Chicago
only five weeks ago in the hope that
the change might prove beneficial to
her health. She had been suffering
from liver trouble, and the cause of
her death was given as tuberculosis.
Her illness became so serious shortly
after she arrived here that she was
Obliged to take to her bed, and the
final summons came as relief from
all earthly suffering. Deceased was

"Figures do not lie." At least that
Is what those who were present at Mon.
days ball game will testify in regard
to the above score. Litchfeld came,
but did not conquer, and the local
aggregation of ball tossers has added
another scalp to its belt. This makes
the fourth game in succession for the
Willmar team over it's opponents
Litchfeld, Atwater and Dassel, and
there is great rejoicing in camp.
The lineup OF the two teams was as

made that these presidents viii meet

as significant. Not only is il thought

himself to change his plans on account of
the timidity Of his advisers. He goes any
where he thinks duty calls him; besides. it
is his purpose to declare the governments
Polish policy while in Polish territory. and
his giving up of personal supervision of the
maneuvers would be unprecedented.
The Polish question is regarded as the
most pregnant in the governments domestic
policy. While no observer believes the Polish
agitation can really amount to much ulti-
mately 1t is embarrassing the relations
with Austria and Russia. The Poles in Ga
icia enjoy local self-government and press
privileges, which are not in vogue in Prus-
sian Poland. and continual contrasts are
made in the Austrian press between the
conditions existing in Galicia and in the
province Of Posen that annoy this govern
ment and tend to weaken the triple alli-
ance
Indications are not wanting that Russia is
disposed to utilize the Polish passion by
giving greater freedom to the Russian
Poles, thus creating along the Russian
frontier Prussian population in sympathy
with Russia. Count Won Buelow, the Ger
man imperial chancellor, is we'll aware OF
the disa greeable features Of the Polish agi-
tation, and 1t is quite likely he will devise
measures to quote the extreme violence Of
the Polish feeling.

MURDER IN PITTsBURG SALOON.
Woman Stabbed to Death by Man Who
Escapes.

A dispatch from Pittsburg. Pa. last night
says: One Of the most mysterious murders
in the city history was committed tonight
in drinking room in the rear Of the Trac-
ton Hotel. The victim Is Agnes King OF
139 Crawford street. The murderer, who
escaped, Is unknown. The story Is that the
woman and man had been drinking to-
gether since Monday at the different sa-
looms in the neighborhood, and the carousel
ended in a quarrel this afternoon. which
was renewed tonight when the couple met
on High street.
The woman went into the hotel bar and
took q seat In the rear room. The man fol-
lowed her and asked her II she would
keep up the bluff" This question was re-
peated three times, and each time answered
in the negative. Quick as fash the man
pulled a dirk and made a lunge at the w0-
man, cutting her under the ear. A second
slash severed the jugular. then the muir
derer stepped out side door and escaped.
At midnight he was still at large. The VIC
tim. died while in the patrol wagon on the
way to a hospital
The only witness OF the murder was
woman. who happened to be In the room
when the couple entered. She says the
whole affair was enacted so quickly she can
give no description OF the murderer.

true, but yet sufficient to restore to
US several works of ancient literature
which had been supposed to be hone
lessly lost. and TO show us by actual ex-
amples. dating as far back as the beginning
of the third century b. C, what an ancient
book was like.
In another and more noticeable respect
than material. ancient books differed from
modern. The papyrus was not cut up into
leaves and bound into volumes like a mod
ern book, but was manufactured in long
rolls. which the reader unrolled as he pro-
crossed through the work he was reading
The length of these rolls might be anything
up to about thirty feet, but rarely exceeded
this limit; the height would normally be
about nine or ten inches. A roll OF these di-
mansions would contain, in moderate-sizcd
writing, an ordinary Greek play or two
books Of the ''Iliad;" but collected editions
of an authors work were impossible, ex-
cept In the form of a great quantity of sep
arate rolls. This fact goes far to explain
why SO many works by writer's of the
highest reputation have failed to come
down to u.s.
The writing on a papyrus roll was divided
into columns. the width of which was regu-
lated by the length Of the verses IL The
work transcribed was in poetry, but in the
case OF prose works it rarely exceeded three
inches.
Papyrus continued to be the principal ma
terial in use for books Of the best quality
until the fourth century of our era; but
about that time vellum. which had pre-
viously been employed mainly for inferior
purposes. began to supersede 1t, and thence
forward the best copies of books were writ
ten upon this much more durable material.

DUMAS, THE GREAT.

Alexander Dumas, the elder, would have
beer one hundred years old IL he had lived
until today The passion for life and ac-
ton which gives prosperity to so many
novels Of the present commercially historical
school IS yet unsatisfied: and whatever tenn
porary changes of taste there have been
and may be there Is little doubt that in the
matter of novels the world has returned
and will return again and again to its first
loves. Learned lips tell us that the taste
Is infantine- II endures: and the literary
progeny of old Dumas Will live long Psy-

motive and character. the anatomical and

had. their brilliant or dull representatives.

be amused. not to study morbid anatomy or
