Gen. Kuropatkin's hold over men is
due to his reputation for absolute fear
lessness. Five years ago he received the
information that the great powder mag
azine at St Petersburg and that at
Toulon (France) were to be blown up
within 2 hours. The guard was in bed
when he heard the news. but he at once
got up and started for st. Petersburg
without losing a moment. He sum
soned all the stan Of the magazine and
went on a round of inspection. He found
everything in order. and as proof OF
his satisfaction ordered every one in
the magazine to take three days holiday
and to leave at once He then collected
a new garrison and a new staff and SET

RECOGNIZED BY MANY AS HEIR

Minnesota Pretender Is a Descendant
OF Milos obrenovitch - King
Peter Looking for a Chance
to Abdicate.
London CEngJ Special.


The announcement that the king OF
Seryia would like to abdicate has revived
the story of the American heir TO the
throne, in the person OF John Boyn. a
Minnesota farmer whose father. Au-
gust Boyn. was said TO be an heir to the
throne OF that country. and who. it Is
claimed died in that country many years
ago by the hand OF an assassin.
a writer in the St James Gazette. in
discussing the rumors that King Peter
would like to let 20 because be is disap-
pointed with his people. says the world
contains lot Of pretenders to the throne
who do not really pretend because they
prefer TO keep of that dangerous eleva-
tion. The most interesting Of these pre-
tenders. says the writer. is the Minnesota
farmer. John Boyn. believed TO be de-
scended from Milos ohrenovitch. and
through him connected with the Seryian
ruler.
The mother Of John Boyn lives in
modest little cottage among the ever
greens and jaekpines near Rum river. 4
few miles from Princeton. Mimi She is
81 years old. but for one of her age is
apparently hale and hearty Small OF
stature and with her shrunken form bent
with infirmities of old age. she still shows
that she was in her youth a comely wo-
man for one Of her race. and had Dame

would have Rraced the throne of that

happy and unhappy rulers of Europe.
She did not know much about her hus-

TO secure the wealth. His wife and chill
dren begged him not TO leave them. but
he promised to return soon with money
I enough to make them all rich.

Residents of Princeton will remem-
ber Boyn. He had a common education.
and was by trade a cabinetmaker The
farm his wife now occupies was pre-
empted by him. The son of old John
Boyn. whom the writer in the ST James
Gazette asserts is more nearly the di-
rect heir TO the throne than all other
pretenders. lives a short distance from
Princeton and near the home of his
mother. Though he stoutly maintains

CHEERFUL WOMEN.
How to Keep Happy.

IN ESPONDENCY is thing of evil
origin and evil results. Worry
IL produces nothing but wrinkles
and wretchedness. Let the
reader put up little note on her bureau,
on her desk, and at the head of her bed,
Just two words, DON'T WORRY. Worry
Is the greatest foe to the happiness of
any household. An anxious, despond-
ent face, a fretful, complaining voice,
will make every one uncomfortable.
A woman's nerves are more truly the
cause of worry than outside troubles.
The nerves are to a woman's body the
telegraph system, which surely warns her
of any trouble in the feminine makeup.
WHY WOMEN HAVE NERVES
What is the reason why women have
nerves When our thoughts begin to
grow cloudy and uncertain, our i'm
pulses lag and the warnings of pain
and distress are sent like flying mes
sages throughout our limbs and frame,
we straightway, nine times III ten, lay
the cause of the trouble to some defect
in the point where we first feel It. Is
it a headache, backache. a sensation
of irritability or twitching and uncon-
trollable nervousness, something must
be wrong with the head or back, a
woman naturally says, but all the time
the real trouble very often centers in
the womanly organs. In nine cases out
of ten the seat of the difficulty is here,
and woman should take rational treat
ment for its cure. The local disorder
and inflammation of the delicate special
organs of the sex should be treated
steadily and Systematically

practice, found that prescription made

LIBRARY BUILDING
Shall Mineral Point Secure One
From Mr.. Carnegie?

To the Democrat: The Library
Committee has received a communica-
tion from Mr.. Carnegie's secretary to
this effect, that if sufficient support
can be obtained, the gift of money for
n library building, such as Darlington
has recently received, can be had.
This, of course, would not only
make beautiful and creditable addi-
tion to our public buildings, but
would permanently house the library
and make it entirely city property,
Such u building, in conjunction with
our handsome new school would make
the educational advantages of Miner
al Point unequalled by any other
town of its size in the state.
The State Free Library commission
has spoken in the highest terms of
praise of the Mineral Point library,
its selection of books, etc; but at the
same time expresses great regret that
it is not owned by the city, as that is
a necessary condition for any length
of life or permananCy for library.
Whether Mr.. Carnegie's gift be ac-
cepted or not, it is most desirable for
the good of the library, that it may
be under city control, and its tfnan-
cial reports be published monthly
with other city expenditures.
When one considers the number of
towns throughout this state and
others, no larger than Mineral Point,
that are supporting Carnegie libraries
by paying the ten per cent exacted by
Mr.. Carnegie, we see no reason why
Mineral Point should not be equally
progressive and generous.
This question of library building
has not yet been formally presented
before the council, as it is considered
too important one to be hastily
voted upon and decided upon by a
few, when it is of such vital import
ance to every citizen of Mineral Point,
and n city council should remember,
that in voting against the support of
Carnegie library, it would also be
voting u loss to the city OF ten
thousand dollar building. Com.
