SEES THE HOLY LAND
Little Falls Capitalist Returns
From Palestine.

when one travels in the Holy Land,
it is well to have had early instruction
in Biblical lore, said M. M. Williams,
a capitalist of Little Falls, Mimi, who
with his wife, has just returned. from q
four months journey through Pales-
tine. Greece and the countries border
ing on the Mediterranean, and who is
a guest at the Ryan.
My lack of early acquaintance with
the Good Book" said Mr.. Williams
last night, was partially remedied by
a copy of the New Testament which I
purchased in New York, and which
was very frequently consulted when in
Jerusalem and its environS. We made
quite an extended stay in the old city,
and many of the streets and the old
walls look much as they must have
appeared in the early Christian era.
Many of the walls have been torn
down, but others are just as they were
built almost two thousand years ago.
1t is all intensely interesting to even d
layman.
"At Athens l talked to quite a num-
Der of native merchants and profess
sional men regarding local sentiment
as to the war between the Russians
and the Japanese. l learned from the
Athenians that in spite of their close
affiliation with Russia the common
people are rather friendly to Japan and
would like to see the little nation win.
In official circles sentiment is either
pro-Russian or neutral.
Il came home on a North German
Lloyd boat which had been utilized a few
weeks before by Kaiser Wilhelm H.,
and the captain of the steamer said that
the kaiser was distinctly in SYM
pathy with Russia but that the German
tradespeople were the reverse and
hoped that Japan would not finish
second in the fight. Throughout Eu-
rope it is felt that Russia is sadly
handicapped by the unquestioned- fact
that her official circles are honey
combed with corruption and THAT III
almost every fertilization or warship
there has been a job
americans are prone to say that
American politics are corrupt. but they
have simply to visit the countries of
Europe, and especially of Southern
Europe, and they will cease making
charges against their own country.
American politics are pure and unde-
filed in comparison with those of the
effete monarchies of Europe.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams will proceed
to their country home near Little Falls
today.

COMPLIES LIST OF

{. j. Humason Engaged Upon
a Work Containing Much
tl-tts
Useful Information.

When C. J. Humason completes a
task upon which he has been working
for more than year it Is believed
that the adjutant generals office will
have a list Of Minnesota soldiers in the
civil and Indian wars with very few
errors or omissions.
The list being compiled by Humason
will include the date Of muster in and
muster out of every one of the $4,000
men who volunteered to don the. blue
and fight for their country during the
trying period of the early SOS. The
rolls will be arranged alphabetically
and put into permanent form in the
office of the adjutant general. 1t is be-
heved the information that they con-
tain will be found to be extremely use
ful in the matter of pension claims.

ming of the work on which Humason
is engaged, two histories Of minnesota
In the Civil and Indian wars. The first
,, was issued by Adjt Gen. Van Cleve
IN 1856, just after the close of the war,
and the second was the result of the
labors of a commission, of which Judge
14Ochren was chairman and Gen. C. c..
Andrews was secretary and editor
Historically the earlier works were
correct, but as to names and dates re-
lating to enlistment and discharge of
men there were many errors. One rea-
son for this is found in the fact that
at the burning of the state capitol in
1876 many papers We're carried from
the burning building and piled in a
heap on the grounds and some never
ture.
"Muster In" Rolls Missing.
Among the missing papers are the
muster in rolls for the First, Second
and Third regiments. and while the
muster out" rolls are complete some
of them are so badly torn as to be al
most useless in the work of con1pila-
ton. Many dates are missing, and
there are some contradictions, but Mr..
HumaSOn expects to secure the missing
data from the war department at
| Washington and to enter them in his
work
The work will be completed early
next winter, and beside a correct al
| phabetical list, it will contain Informal
ton as to each man relating to his
wounds, Illness, term of service, dis
charge, for what cause, muster out,
and in fact, an official history of each

his enlistment to his final discharge
