The Assistant Job.

Several Presbyterian ciergymen
were discussing the development of
the institutional church, says the
New York Post. One Of the party
expressed the opinion that the execu-
tive snd social ability in q pastor had
overshadowed his preaching powers,
which moved former moderator to
tell this story On himself:
"Not long ago one of the women Of
my congregation came to me to ask
why / did not get an assistant.
But I do not need one, madam, I
assured her. When she insisted that

she thought such an assistant could
do to relieve me of portion Of my

Would you have him make the
pastoral calls?' 1 asked.
"'Of course not. You. would con-
tinue to visit US.
Would you want the assistant to
baptize your children?'
Ono
"'Or to visit you when you are
ill?'
"'Certainly not; no one could take
your place for that.
Further questions met with like

SEVERED Arm and LEG
Work Train Engine Runs Over
Harry Simmons at DeGraff and
Body is Horribly Mansled.

A young man by the name of Harry
Simmons met with shocking accident
at Degraf Monday night about half
past nine, from the effects of which he
will probably die. He was standing
on the crossing near the Carglll ele-
vator holding conversation with
Jas. Mackey when the engine OF work
train, which was backing up, ap-
preached them unnoticed until it was
within few feet of them when Mac
key felt the jar, stepped back just in
time to save himself but could not
warn his companion in time to save
him. When Simmons was knocked
down it was thought that he caught
hold of rod by one hand but the
other hand and one leg was swung un-
der the wheels. He was dragged for
about Is feet when the engine was
stopped to give work train time to
clear the switch. He was then found
by the train crew under the tender
with his arm and leg cut Off He was
at once taken to the depot. The mat
ter was at once re ported to Brecken-
ridge and orders we're received for the
work train to take him to Benson for
treatment. O.l his arrival here he was
taken over to Nurse Cappelen's house
and DR.. Daignault was summoned to
give him surgical attention. He ral-
lied q little Tuesday but it was found
necessary to make second operation
Wednesday, but at the time we went
to press he was sinking fast and the
end was only matter of few hours.
Everything has been done for him that
surgical skill and expert nursing
could do but the doctor says the case
is hopeless. It is a wonder he stood
the shock and journey here. He is
about 10 years of age ana lives at De-
Graft with his father, where he has
followed no regular trade but did odd
jobs around town. His father, who
works on the railroad, is by his bed
side -Swifs County Monitor.
Later news is to the effect that Sim
mons died Thursday afternoon.

ESCAPES DEATH TO WE'D
johanna Kodt, One Of Those Res.
cued from Watery Grave,
Joins Lover at MiIaca.

Johanna Kodt, saved from the wreck
of the ill-fated immigrant steamer
Norge, has reached Milaca and will
we'd her sweetheart Jacob Nelson of
that place.
An incident that reads like the pages
of yellow backed novel, and that in
a way connects the interest of Milaca
people with the ill-fated steamer
Norge, has just come to light.
Jacob Nelson of this place received
word that the girl who was to be his
wife, Miss Johanna Kodt, had taken
passage on that vessel and would join
him here in q few weeks, when their
marriage would occur. The next news
that reached him was the newspaper
off the lonesome islet of Rockall, and
the plupging to sudden death of six
hundred of her passengers.
In such a terrible cataclysm there
was little chance for hope that his
loved one had escaped, and his JOY
can better be imagined than described
when word was received that she was
among the few boat loads that safely
escaped from the doomed ship.
The wedding will occur as planned,
only will doubtless be more impress
sive and solemn than usual with such
events owing 10 the exceedingly mar
row escape OF the bride from meeting
q terrible death with the hundreds
whose bodies are now the sport of the
broad dAtlantic.-Milaca Times.
The name of Johanna Kodt appeared
in one of the lists of rescued published
few days after the awful disaster,
and it was thought for a while that
she was Johanna Kjos, neice of J.
L. Johnson OF this city, and that hel
name had been mispelled. The above
article puts an end to this hope, and
as nothing further has been heard o.
Miss Kjos, she is most likely sleeping
the last long sleep beneath the seeth
! ing billows of the great Atlanti.
ocean.

tion to Gitche Manitou, their deity for

orgy, the dancers charm rattlesnakes,
cobras, gila monsters and the terror
of mankind, the cobra di capella, or
hooded snake af the desert whose bite
is death to any white man in thirty

and snake dancers inoculate them
selves with q virus before entering up
on the dance only to be seen at the

able to withstand the consequences OF

reptiles as the dancers carry them in
their mouths to the terror of their
white spectators. The Snake Dance
at the Cliff Dwellers is today the one

Lost Household Goods.

Willmar friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Rozum will sympathize with
them in the misfortune which has be-
fallen them at Benson. their late
home. The following from the Benson
Monitor gives an account of q recent
fire at that place in which they suffer-
ed loss of q large share of their
household goods:
A fire broke out Tuesday morning,
between nine and ton O'Clock in q
double house In the northeast part of
town, owned by Swan Sandstrom.
When the fire department arrived on
the scene the house was full of smoke
and the fire was located in one of the
sitting rooms of that part of the house
occupied by Frank Rozum. Through
good work on the part of the fire fight
ers the fire was not only confined to
the two sitting rooms but was subdued
In less than halt an hour. How the
fire originated could not be determin-
ed but It is surmised that the straw on
the floor of the room the fire started
in, which was being used for packing
purposes, got ignited in some unac-
countable manner. Mr.. Rozum was
unfortunately down town at the time
and when he got back the fire had got
too much headway for him to do any
thing. He had been packing dishes
that morning but did not smoke any
while doing it. That part of The house
occupied by Mr.. Rozum was damaged
more by water than by fire. The other
part of the house which is occupied by
Mr.. Sandstrom was not damaged un-
less little by smoke. Mr.. Sandstrom
has his house fully insured. The bulk
of his furniture had been taken out of
doors by the many willing workers so
there was no loss on that score. Mr..
Rozum was not 80 fortunate. His fur
niture was badly damaged by fire and
water. 1t was all burlapped and crat-
ed and most of it had been laced in
the two sitting rooms ready for ship
ment. As he only carried partial in
surance the loss to him y III be heavy.
He had just about completed his pack
ing and intended to ship his goods to
Marion, H., where he had secured
employment. To lose your position
one week and the bulk Of your belong.
ipgs the next is, to say the least, pret.
ty hard. That has been Mr.. Rozum e
experience. Mrs. Rozum was out o1
town but the neighbors came to Mr..
Rozum's assistance promptly. Mr.
and Mrs. Rozum have certainly the
sympathy of the community in thei,
loss. The fire department did good
work getting the fire out.
Mrs. Rozum, who was formerly Miss
Lizzie Hunter, is . sister of Mrs
Chas. E. Mclaughlin of this city, ant
was her guest 1T the time Of the fire
having come down from Benson onl!
the day before. Mrs. Rozum was join

The HUMAN FAMILY It ST. LOUIS
Peoples that Have Been
Gathered at the Worlds Fair

OF mechanical devices, all more or
less familiar to persons even ordinar-
lily we'll informed, the supply for the
of the masses is almost
limitless at the great Worlds Fair
now at the height of it's beauty and
in St. Louis. But
nothing pleases the intelligent visitor
more than the strange and wonderful
peoples from distant countries or re-
mote parts of our own fair land whom
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, as
it is called, has gathered within the
corporate confines of the metropolis
of the Mississippi Valley. The most
interesting because the better known
are the tribes OF North American In
dians concerning whom even the
school-books of today have little to
say, yet study of whom will add con-
siderable to anyone's stock of general
information. The best of these purely
human exhibits is to be found at the
Cliff Dwellers exhibit. Not only are
the people within that great enclosure
of rare and curious origin, not only
are their manners and customs with
out q parallel in so-called Indian lore,
but they have without much contact
with the white man learned the arts of
peace to so fine an extent that they are
not only good jewelers. and silver
smiths, excellent weavers of rare
blankets for which they design the
strangest of patterns, but they are fine
actors, better dancers and the best
purvey yors of the mysteries of sleight'
of-hand now to be seen at the World 4
Fair. At the Cliff Dwellers Exhibit
there are more than three hundred o.

Tonight the social event of the ses-

The matter of whether proxies may

Congress was referred tonight to legal
authorities in this city, who expressed
the opinion that neither proxies nor
delegates who are not actual members
