MRS. JANE ORION, Secretary.
MRS. ADA FARNHAM. Treasurer.
1t was my privilege to meet
with the Hamline w. G. T. U. re-
Gently They had their regular
meeting in the afternoon at Como
Park and had a basket picnic late
enough so their husbands could at
tend. Mrs. Scovill was present
and gave a few very. practical sug-
gestions on the observance of
"Our Red Letter Days." in con-
nection with school work. It was
very evident that the women ap-
|preciated her remarks and will try
to follow her plan as nearly as pos
sible. She is held in high esteem
by them.
Plans to help in the w. c.. T.
y. booth during State fair were
discussed and special meeting
called to further these plans, also
to give the committee on appro-
priations chance to set aside a
sum of money for the use of each
local superintendent. By the
way, this is one way to help along
the overburdened ones and I was
glad to know that my faithful
superintendent of camp work,
Mrs. Dr.. Magraw, was to have a
sum from her own union equal to
what | have had from the State,
and this union did not forget to
instruct their delegate for State
convention to give at least $500
for State work. Mrs. Crawford,
the president, was awake to the
needs of her workers, while Miss
Martin is model secretary. 1t
was reported that the books sent
to the Soldiers Home were CRATE
fully received.
To those who have never
visited Como Park let me
say it is one of the beauty
spots of earth. Mrs. Scovill on
her trip abroad visited the most
renowned gardens in the world,
but says the lily pond at Como is
far more beautiful. Imagine a
small sheet of water bordered by
semi-aquatic plants so thick and
luxuriant in their growth as to
make the water seem to be held in
a basin Of foliage. A small foot
bridge spans the pond and as you
look into the water beneath,
dozens of gold fish dart here and
there as if they were trying to
show their beauty and were proud
of their beautiful home, as we'll
they may be for there is great
variety of magnificent lilies. The
most wonderful is the Nilotic
water lilies said to be worshiped
by the people of Egypt and along
the valley of the Nile, a species Of
lotus. The leaves are a beautiful
green, some of them four feet or
more in diameter, the blossom
quite similar to the water lily, only
much larger. Several other varie-
ties of lilies whose blossoms re-
semble the common water lily,
only they were in a variety of
colors, had beautiful foliage. Be-
side several varieties with very
odd shaped leaves and blossoms.
The grounds of the park are
ideal, rolling enough to make the
hedges and beds Of flowers show
to asplendid advantage. "Gates
Ajar" is most magnificent; the steps
leading up to it resemble a carpet
of rich colors and beautiful design,
made up of fine plants. AS
stood and looked through the gate
of flowers to the pearly white
blossoms, the language of my soul
was "Beyond the gates there is nc

through. The famous Calumet and Hecla
and Tamarac copper mines, which have
paid about s9O,ooo.oGo in dividends, were
visited. Some of the shafts Of these,
great mines are about mile in Depth
The ponderous engines, air compressors
and other mining machinery used in their
operation, were wonderful to behold. On
our return tn Houghton, a visit was made
to the Michigan College of Mines, the
foremost institution Of the kind in this
country. Minnesota ought to have one
like it. President F. W., McNair. showed
us through the buildings and explained
the methods Of instruction. -
The eventful day, during which we had
seen much and learned much, closed with
one of Mann's famous planked white
fish dinners, at the Douglass house. Here
also we listened to some bright and witty
after-dinner speeches by J. Adam Bede
G. S. Mitchell, President F. w. McNair,
Horace J. Stevens, the mining statisti-
clan. and others. A pleasing diversion
occurred when Editor w. M. James,. OF
Breckenridge, Mimi, arose, and in beauti-
full words, rendered the thanks of the
association to E. A. Nelson, Of Hallock,
upon whom. as secretary, had devolved
the labor Of planning and conducting this
excursion. AS token of appreciation
and esteem, he presented to Mr.. Nelson

John h. Clark'S lecture Monday
night on the Subject "TO and Fro In
London" was greeted by a very good
audience in spite Of the lnclement
weather. The wind was blowing
sleet and snow but 1t did not deter
the Hutchinson people from hearing
a good lecture. The subject was well
handled and the audience was pleased.
As is usual with such lccturcrcs he
talked "from'" his subject rather
than on it. He could not refrain
from having something to say about
the abuse Of a victorious officer, and
said he would not have done 50 If he
were secretary Of the navy, But then
he said he would not be secretary Of
the navy, not "Long'.
What was surprising was that he
would dare to speak 50 plainly on such
a subject and should get such hearty
response. Ii must be 50 everywhere
he goes or lecturer whose business
tits to please rather than to teach,
would not continue 1t.

about the heads Of the workers, The
collapse occurred SO quickly that no
one had time to move from their
places. A band Of rcScuerS immedi-
ately set to work to orccOvcr the bodies
of the dead, and cXtricate the living,
and was assisted fCyCriShly by the
relatives and friends Of those beneath
the ruins. All efforts to stop the
flow Of scalding water from the brok-
en- steam pipes were unayailing and Il
number Of those pinloncd and Others
but slightly injured were Scalded to

Secretary Root was heard NJ the
question Of the Friar lands IN the
Philippines before the house commit
tee on insdlar affairs today. lie said
these land holdings constituted one
of the chief causes Of discomfort
among the people; they were the
hotbedS Of insuTectlon and had fur
nlShcd Aguinaldo his chief appeal TO
popular prejudice, The secretary said
the orders so fully recognized the
bad condition Of affairs that they
were disposed to sell and he urged
that the government take advantage
of the opportunltyto remove the chief
causes Of discomfort in the islands,
lie did not believe condemnation pro-

were Indications that n falg iCc
could be agreed upon, A rough estl-
mate Of the value Of the lands he said
was from five to seven and one half
Of dollars American money.

MUNDEN GUILTY.
The Wumens Case Is Dismissed, but Ho
Gets Sixty Days.

The case against the Munden and
Swaggart outfit who were arrested Mt
Partridge charged with selling liquor
came up.for trial In the district court
Thursday, For some reason the case
against the woman was dismissed by
the county attorney. Munden how
ever stood trial and the court APP
pointed Frank Hettinger as his coun-
sci, He put up u good fight for his
client but was not able to save his
bacon. The story told by them In
their defense was somewhat cunning
but not cunning enough to be be-
lieved by the jury as against the evil
dence Of the other witnesses. They
claimed to have come from Wichita
in a wagon, They were Joined some
where near here by third party by
the name of Hunter They claimed
the liqour that was found in the
wagon belonged to him, and If any
was sold it was sold by him without
their knowledge, They claimed he
had left just shortly before their ar
rest
But the State had two or three wit
nesSeS who testified that they had
purchased liquor Of Mundcn or some
one that looked just like him. Both
Mundcn and the woman admitted
that they were not married to each
other, but had been married to other
parties. Munden admitted having Il |
wife and three children, but left them
and took up with this woman. The
woman who claims the name Of Ella |
Is not an uncomcly female |
but with her raven black hair and |
swart complexion she bctrays in her
features hardened wicked, vicious
and depraved look that Is not by any
means always present with women Of
her class.
The jury found Munden guilty on
both counts charged and he will dwell
at least two months longer with the
sheriff at county expense

Telegram THE dead body Of Mrs. Fournell
was found shortly before noon today lying
in the yard OF her home, semile and a half

mother Of the dead woman, had left her
daughter at home while she went out into
the field. Upon returning she found her
daughter lying in the yard. with her cloth
ing burned OF her.
Although no one witnessed the horrible
affair, the supposition is that Mrs. Four
nell's clothing caught FIRE while she was pre-
pairing dinner and she ran out into the yard
in order to save herself.
As the woman was alone in the house,
however, some think she was murdered by
tramps and her body dragged to the barn
yard. where her clothing was set on hre.
The interior Of the house bore evidence OF
a struggle.
Public sentiment runs high and the ex-
element is intense. The Fulton blood
hounds Of this city have been sent to the
scene Of the tragedy.
The deceased had been married, but was
not living with her husband. She was about
81 years of age and lived with her mother
