Mr.. Harries of Cambria had narrow

Wednesday. He drove a fine team of
mules upon the ferry at Judson, and
when the ferry began to move, the mules
commenced to back. They backed the
buggy into the river in the deepest place
Mr.. Harries was thrown out and could
not swim. Moreover, he was encountered
with fur coat. The mules became
entangled in the harness and one of them
drowned. Mr.. Harries was finally res
cued.
The bridge material at Judson is being
hauled to the river as fast as it can
be shipped. The construction crew ar
rived Monday morning and is now at
work on the bridge.
I. Hodson, who is candidate for
county commissioner in the third dis

the county that has any opposition, but
he is receiving assurances of support
from all over the district, and that must
be very gratifying to a candidate.

TAWNEY ON the MOVE.
Speakers Bureau Man Tells What the
Democrats Are Doing.

Winona, Minn., Oct. l7.-Congressman
James a. Tawney, chairman of the
speakers bureau of the republican ma
tional committee, made another flying
trip from republican national headquar-
ters at Chicago to this city to spend
Sunday at home. When asked regarding
the progress of the campaign Mr.. Taw-
ney said:
"The situation at the present time is
as favorable, if not more so, than at any
time during the campaign. Mr.. Bryans
trip through Indiana and the assign
ment of other democratic speakers of
national reputation in the middle west
has served to awaken more interest in
the campaign than there has been here
tofore, but there is still an entire alb
sence of any local campaign on the part
of our opponents. Outside of the state
of Indiana in the middle west the dem
ocrats are not making any campaign of
any consequence on national issues.
"They are, however, making something
of campaign in several close or doubt
full congressional districts in Michigan,
Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska, one dis
trict in Iowa and several in Wisconsin.
They seem to be putting forth more
effort throughout the West to capture
the house of representatives than to
elect their electoral ticket. While we
lose several doubtful districts and fail
to carry number of close districts now
represented by a democrat in these
states, nevertheless we are morally cer-
tain of gaining more congressional dis
tricts than we will lose.
"The demand on the part of republi-
cans for speakers in the twenty four
states in which l have charge of the
speaking campaign is such as to indicate
that republicans generally are becoming
interested in the result and are anx-
ious to hear discussed the questions to
be determined in this election. This
has necessarily increased the work of
the speakers bureau in Chicago, and l
fear will require practically all of my
time until election. 1 am not only in
charge of the speaking campaign, but
am also member of the executive COM
mittee, and there are matters of the
greatest Importance which the executive
committee must consider with the chair
man almost every day. | have assign
ed number of frst-class speakers to
the first district congressional committee
for use in the district, provided there is
any demand for them"
Congressman Tawney returned to
Chicago last evening.

"LAND OF MINIATURE"
Fine Lecture on Japan by Miss Grace
Glenn.
From Tuesdays Daily.

|
Fine Lecture on Japan by Miss Grace
Glenn.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Few Americans possess the cOncep-
lined in the address about things and
| institutions "In the Land of Miniature" :"
delivered at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday evening by Miss Grace Glenn,
Christian missionary, who has spent
six years working for the faith of civil
lived nations in that heather land
When, little over half Il dozen years
ago, Miss Glenn was accosted at Min
neapolis by a representative of the mis-
sionary board, and requested to 60 to
Japan to spread the light of the gospel
there, she pictured Japan very differently
from what she subsequently found that
country to be.
Japan is indeed land of beauty. 1t
deserves more than China itself to be
called the "realm of flowers" There is
nothing large about Japan. 1t is a
country of little people, little rivers.
little lakes, little mountains. Probably
the most charming feature of Japen
consists of the Japanese. Their polite
ness and ready apprehension are known
to all the civilized world. Little Jap
an has more schools than all of big
Russia. OF her fortyseven millions of
people, tenth are going to school.
Patriotism is strong national charac-
ter. In Japan women are at a certain age
accustomed and practically obliged, so
strong is the precedent, to depend for
their living upon their sons and grand
sons. When the war broke out between
these mothers and grandmothers com
mitted suicide, in order that the sons
and grandsons might be freed from the
burden of the support of their progeni-
tors and go off to the war. The war
taxes have caused privations of which
the Americans have no conception.
Teachers in the public schools in count
less instances are, obliged to go to bed
hungry every night, because the govern
ment has taken a portion of their salar-
les with which to fight the Cossacks.
Indeed the japanese are loyal. The
same loyalty is seen in the japanese
Christians, who become as faithful to
Christ as any of his disciples.
Yet, the beauty of Japan is on the
surface. The head has been cultivated
at the expense of the heart The So
cial conditions are shocking. Japan
ese women are probably the most licen-
tious in the world. They are despised
even by the Chinese. The great sin of
Japan is licensed by the government.
Stealing is extremely common. The
Japanese are great liars. The Christian
missionaries write the word "sin" in
large letters over the map of Japan,
yet after all they realize that this is not
the fault of the Japenese. 1t is the
fault of the Christian nations, who do
not do their duty in spreading the light
of gospel truth in this benighted land.
The Christian japanese cry out for the
sending of more missionaries, but, alas,
their cry is but poorly answered. 1t is
a lamentablc fact, yet it might as well
be admitted, that the Presbyterian board
of foreign missions is $4,000 in debt.

They Pay Well.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Only five of the property owners on
Fifth street have thus far failed to pay
their assessment for the improvement
of that street, which is splendid show
ing. Poplar street presents almost as
good record. All of these parties with
large assessments have paid up, and a
few of those whose assessments are the
smallest failed 40 pay. 1t shows that
the people are able to get money upon a
pinch, in most cases.

"BE GOOD TO DR.. AMES.'
This Remark to Jury Cost Young
Lady Her Position.
From TUESDAYS Daily,

Miss Edwards is no longer in charge
of the cigar stand at the Fifth street
entrance of the court house i'm Minneap-
oils. Friday, when the Ames jury re-
turned from dinner and stopped at the
stand for the purpose of purchasing some
cigars, she said in the presence and
hearing of one of the deputy sheriffs, as
the twelve men were about to go to their
rooms, "Pleasc be good to DIR. Ames."
The matter was reported to the court
and yesterday the pretty young woman
found herself out of a job. She dis
claimed any intentional wrong. She
said the deputies permitted the jurors to
stand around and persons to talk to
them, and is of the opinion if any one
was at fault it was the deputies.

This Calf Was Frisky.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

Quite number of people of North
Mankato yesterday attended the auc-
tion on the farm of the late Louis Wet
eel in Belgrade township. Among the

bought young heifcr. With four men
to help him, he got the animal as near
home as the Belgrade hill, when she
broke away and went back to the farm,
where she had been sold. Mr.. Hagwall
came home with no calf, and well spat-
tered with mud.

OUTRAGEOUS INeuRANcE RArEs.

! OUTRAGEOUS iNeuRANcE RATES.
The fire Insurance schedule which
went into effect ia Guthrie recently,
is an outrage TO every property owner
and business man Of the city The
rates are increased all the way from
one-third to double what they we're
one year ago. And this in the face Of
the fact that Guthris today has better
FIRE protection than ever before. When
the city council is taking additional
precautions against ere. and when
every citizen generally feels a pride in
the improved condition over previous
years.
The new schedule is ridiculous It
reflects upon the city wnen the most
favorable condition exists, and when
there IS not the last excuse for an in
crease in the rate During the past
year the Improvement made in the
water system has been the pride OF
every one. The new wells addoG TO
the system, together Wi the new ma.
chinery and other repairs. makes the
fre protection far safer than ever be
fore. There is less reason by far for
an increase this year over last. In fact
the rate should have been decreased
instead Of increased
A well organized movement should
be made by our business men to ad-
just the question. This can only be ac-
by united effort, and
thorough understanding between the
business men and insurance compan-
les. In the meantime large amount
Of insurance will be discontinued I'M

careful to cooperate with the city of
