bravely against the jingoisn which
has forced an unpreparcd nation into
mighty conflict,-to appease land
hunger. Russia wants an ice-free
port on the Pacific; she wants an un
interrupted Pacific coast line; she
wants new trade; she wants-event-
ually, perhaps-China. But itlis not
likely that she really wants these
enough to fight for them. The best,
ablest men of Russia know that she is
not prepared for war. The Alexieff' g
and the Pobiedonostseffs have tried to
convince the Gear that a foreign war
would defer a political and social

Death of Mrs. Bloomfield.


Mrs. Sara J. Bloomfield, sister
of James A., William H. and S. E.
Caughren of this city, was buried
from the Congregational church
last Sunday afternoon. Rev. S. J.
Rogers of Minneapolis officiating.
Mrs. Bloomfield came to Mime
sofa from Canada with her parents,
when three years old and has always
lived in the state. She married at
the age of twenty-one, MI. E. G.
Bloomfield of Willmar. Of late
years they have lived in St. Paul.
Three children were born to them,
a son dying in his infancy. Two
daughters grown to womanhood are
left to comfort the lonely husband
and father. Mrs. Bloomfield has
been a great sufferer for several
years and her death was not I'M
looked for. Still when the sad in,
telligence was received over the
telephone Friday morning of last
week by her relatives here it came
as a great shock. James A. Caugh-
rem went at once to St. Paul return
ing Saturday night with the be-
reaved family and their beloved
dead. All remained at the home
of Mr.. Caughren until Sunday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Rogers preached a
very excellent and comforting SER
mon. The church was packed with
sympathizing friends. The floral
offerings were profuse and beauti-
full. The body was laid to rest in
the Odd Fellows cemetery by the
side of the infant son. Beside the
three brothers and the family, an
aged mother and two sisters are left
to mourn this dear one, who was
taken in the prime of womanhood,
being forty-nine years of age. All
were present at the funeral except
one sister living in South Dakota,
who was unable to come. Mrs.
Bloomfield has always been true
christian and was devoted member
of the Central Presbyterian church
of St. Paul, where she will be
mourned and missed.

"Uncle" Loren Fletcher has been
in town for several days. Incl
dentally he is calling at the various
departments, and his influence is
exerted in behalf of his old friends
and his home city just as though he
were still the congressman from
Minneapolis. He says that his
principal business here is to secure
better elevator service in the Min

ton, there are many things that the
Minneapolis Office needs in order to
make it the equal of first class

knows from personal experience
that more help is necessary in the

Mr.. Fletcher was rather non-com-

the state, and reticient as to his
own plans. Nevertheless it is safe
to predict that he will again be a
candidate.
