A LIVE CORPSE.
ELLA CHUTE WHO IS LEGALLY DEAD Ac-
+ CORDING TO THE COURT.
RETURNS TO CLAIM HER PROPERTY.
KEPT KNOWLEDGE OF HER EXISTENCE A
SECRET FOR TWENTY-SIx YEARS.

On Thursday of last week Mrs. Ella
Wood surprised the people of this city
and also her relatives by returning, as it
were to life. She had been thought dead
and in reality had been dead so far as the
law is concerned, for her estate had been
administered and divided among her re.
latives.
The story of her disappearance and
past life is quite sensational. In 1876
she was living with her parents on the
farm in the town of Lake Hanska, her
sister had married man by the name of
Wood, but from all indications t h e
couple were not congenial and Wood
preferred the company of Ella. That
same year Ella left home with the ap-
parent purpose of visiting at Waseca and
there her history ends so far as her re-
natives know for she was not heard from
after that. Mr.. Wood also left and the
two were apparently married in Cali.
fornia where they lived until their re-
turn to Hayward, Wis. Mrs. Wood has a
son with her and she says I'm pretty
lively corpse"
AS long as her father, Thomas Chute
lived nothing was done in a legal way
about her absence but when he was kill
ed, to settle his estate, it became neces-
sary to know for certainly her where
abouts aud as she could not be located
the court declared her dead and divided
her property among her kin. Her re-
appearance will make it necessary for the
court to set aside the judgement and re-
instate her in her possessions.
After the absence of both Ella and
Mr. Wood led the sister to believe that
they were either dead or did not intend
to return, she applied for divorce from
her recreant husband and. after securing
it married a man by tie name of Needles
so that there is perfect safety in the re-
turn of the couple:

Surprised his Friends.

It is said that one of the prettiest de-
bates ever heard in New Ulm broke out
the other evening between A. W. Bing-
ham and the Rev. Mr.. Updyke on the
question whether the Lie can ever be
passed between Gentlemen. While it is
freely conceded that the latter gentle
man both for logical reasoning and
rhetorical, phrasing and setting of ar
gument made one of his happiest efforts
in extemporaneous speech. i t is still
claimed that Mr.. Bingham's speech was
most gratifying surprise to his opponent
as we'll as to all his friends present. His
strict control of the debate within the
limits of parliamentary usage and his
persistent grip on the center of the
question and his entire self possession in
a calling that was quite new to him on
the heartiest encomiums Of all.
And yet while it must be said that
Bingham W a strong and that Updyke
was splendid it must be added that DR..
Weiser interviewer and finally as
Referee bore away the victory. Especial
" his story of the machine that out of
personal property manufactured a l
estate was voted inim1table carrying as
it did the truth which was highest over
all things that by either orator had been
deposed and which easily bore away the
victory. As DR.. Stricken remarked to
the Hon. Mr.. Klossner Each man easily
had the question while he had the floor,
but DR.. Weissr having it last was enabled
to take advantage Of the boom in real
estate which neither Of the other gentle
men had seemed to catch on to-

The Ambrosch concert Saturday nj ght
was frost so far as attendance IS con-
cerned. There were not enough seats
sold to pay the hall rent. The program
was short, but each number was perfect
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the aud
fence. Mr.. Ambrosch appeared twice
and each time gave evidence of superior
talent of a violinist. He is young
man and with the skill that age will
bring to his talent he will some day be
among the best in the line of violinists,
It lis seldom that an audience listens to
a sweeter singer than Mrs. Cowley and
while each number was encored it was
evident that her singing had captivated
the audience and she was justly the fav-
orite. Mr. Rudolph was also we'll re-
ceived. He has an excellent, well-train-
ed voice that filled the theatre with mu-
sic that the dullest ear could appreciate.
Pianists are never appreciated as they
should be and Miss Patthey was no ex-
ception. She was very good however
and the program would have been in
complete without her. MI. Ambrosch
is much disappointed at the apparent
disinterest that people have for high

THE directions given herein are
drawn from a painstaking and
long continued observation of
the results actually obtained by per-
sistently following the most approved
directions for making the hair grow,
for identifying the skin and for re-
moving wrinkles and getting a plump,
pretty neck and rounded arms.
Let US begin with skin prescrip-
tions, say, the beauty bath. Oatmeal
is highly commended for softening
and whitening the skin. Put about
half a bushel of it into your bathtub
every day and let the boiling water
run in upon it till it is about the con-
sistency of breakfast porridge. Then
jump in and take your bath. If you
do this perseveringly so long as you
live, it may help some.
Thousands of men and women, too,
have a heartache because of losing
their hair. Here is a much praised
recipe: Get a mixture of quinine and
whisky of about the strength of that
which the inhabitants of the swamp
country take as a morning bracer
against the ''chills.'' Stir into it a table
spoonful of red pepper to the half pint.
Then .'wopse" the mixture into your
hair with a circular movement of
your fingers so as to initiate the spiral
growth of the hair follicles and coax

be heard in opera later, but at the pres

to the concert platform. The singing

of hearing her say that it is indeed a
thing to be remembered.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE ART OF BEAUTY

trick them into activity. Do this
twenty-four hours every day for
about a thousand years You will
find it will destroy the wrinkles and
restore the beautiful, rounded outline
of youth in your face. 1 cannot, how
ever, guarantee that it will achieve
these results in any less time than
that specified.
To prevent wrinkles coming around
your mouth sleep always with your
mouth shut. If you cannot keep 1t
shut, put a clothespin upon your lips
and fasten them together. Also
mental science yourself for new teeth
during the millennial period when
you are not massaging your face,
and you will get them.
Young ladies are sometimes sorely
annoyed by scrawny. corded necks
and thin arms. For the seamy neck
twirl your head as rapidly as you can
from side to side five hours daily
two and a half in the morning when
you rise, two and half at night when
you retire. After seventy-hve years
of this practice the corded neck will
be no more For thin arms whirl
them around and around at full
length 100000 times a day till they get
plump. I cannot foreten just how
long this will be, but time will show.

the scalp where the hair ought to be.
The circular movement of your finger

If your features do not suit you, if
they have not the classic outline
which should go with the blue blood
of the daughter of a hundred aristo-
cratic American captains of industry,
then have your face removed alto

sure cure.

Dip your finger ends into some kind of
lubricating oil, then twirl and whirl
them around and around, upward and
outward, from bottom to top of your
face, beginning under the chin Be
sure to observe the spiral or circular
movement of finger ends as you rub,
not too hard. This spiral movement is
intended to initiate the way in which

many lovers suit is unsuccessful just
because he is ignorant of a girls tastes
in that direction.
Now, If girls had the matter in their
own hands they would manage very
differently. To begin With. they would
never play the bashful lover. There is
nothing less calculated to make a girl
say yes" to the important question
than the wooing of a lover who is shy.
She despises a man who can't have
courage enough to ask her boldly, and
when he stammers and hesitates over 1t
instead of walking up boldly to the
lions mouth he reduces his chances to
a minimum.
Above all things, woman delights in
feeling the superior strength of man.
When he comes and asks her to be his
wife with a fine, bold front and manly
bearing, the battle is half won. She re-
spects and admires him for pressing his
suit with decision, and when she begins
to admire a man love does not lag far
behind. The trembling, timorous lover
never commands her respect
