at the home of his parents in a critical
condition as a result of being run

south side, striking the boy, who, with
TWO companions, was crossing Seventh
street. The boy was thrown headlong
70 the pavement and the wheels pass
ed over his body and struck his head,
cutting a deep cash in the scalp.
Several spectators rushed to the
PROSTATE form of the child, thinking
ne was dead, and carried him into
Stierle's drug store. The men in the
buggy, after glancing backward at the
child lying on the street urged their
horse on, despite the cries of the peo-

the department of forestry Of the state
agricultural college, have returned
from the Pillsbury reserve in Cass
county, where, last week, they started
the work of sowing the seeds Of pine

to reclaim the cut-over lands by grow
ing new forest of pine and spruce
The members Of the state forestry
board left with Lars M. Hope, a Nor
wegian settler living near the land and
who has been doing the work in the
nursery, eighty-six pounds of the pine
and spruce seed to be sown in the
nursery, and the first seed was sown
by Martin Hope, the settlers seven
year-old son.
Gen. Andrews said yesterday that
the rains of last week, which were
general throughout Northern Mime
sofa, had averted further danger of
forest fires. An unusually dry season
had made the woods especially sus-
ceptible to fires and several had oc-

DIVORCED AFTER A
QUARTER OF A CENTURY
District Court Grants Decree to Mons
Pearson Freeing Him From Miriah.

Judge Brill yesterday severed the
Knot which for twenty-six years has
bound Mons Pearson and Miriah Pear
son as man and wife. The divorce was
granted at the request of Mr.. Pearson,
and after he had told tale of woe to
the court, sufficiently substantiated by
other witnesses.
The marriage took place New Years
eve,- 1878, and for a time the two lived
happily together, but Mr.. Pearson in
formed the court that he and his wife
had not been friends since 1899, when
she compelled him to take up his abode
In part of the house separate from
her, leaving him to cook his own meals,
wash his own clothes and do his own
mending. He had oftentimes raised a
nag OF truce, but his kindly offers
were spurned, and upon one occasion.
SO he stated, she had thrown an ak at
him.
The plaintiffs testimony was suffi-
GENTLY corroborated to suit the court
and the divorce was granted.

said that he is sure that 1t is only a
question of time before Cuba will de-
clare for annexation to the United
States.
Il have just returned from tour of
the island, lasting some weeks" said
Mr.. Bean, land it can safely be said
that tie Cubans, aside from the poll
ticians among them, favor annexation.
The Spaniards and the Cuban politi-
clans want nothing to do with the
United States. The attitude of the
SpaniG as is born of their hatred for
everything American and the leaders
among the Cubans know that they
would lose their jobs if the island be-
came a part of the United States.
1T is the only thing to do however.
American capital is pouring into Cuba,
and the best sugar and tobacco lands
can be bought for from 81 to $12 per
acre. The country is rapidly recover
ing from the devastation and democrat
ization Of the continued wars and,
with stable government, nothing can
prevent its rise to a prominent place
among the congress of nations, but an
nexation would doubtless be the best

Bean is an eccentric character and
attained more or less fame at st. Louis
recently by agreeing to give a cottage
and lot to any young couple who would
marry and become parents within the
first year Of their married life.

In an order filed yesterday Judge
Kelly grants new trial to the North
ern Pacific in the suit brought against
that road by Caroline Lesch and tried
some time agess Mrs. Lesch sued the
Northern Pacific for damages alleged
to be the result Of two agents OF the

men were not acting in the line of
