There is reason to believe that this

to settle the whole question of the re-

The Japanese contention Is that SAX

pressed the judgment that Russia

w. R. Owen spent the last night OF
his life in the Office of the Nicollet
hotel.
The night clerk was under the i'm
preston until nearly morning that
| the man had engaged a room but was
not disposed to make use of it, Mr..
Owen appeared considerable agitated
| during the night and at frequent in
tervals appealed to the clerk for as

Sheriff Dreger
When directed by the clerk to the
telephone about midnight Mr.. Owen
fastened to call up Sheriff Dreger. In
this conversation Mr. Owen informed
Mr. Dreger that he, Owen, was in
danger of being killed. He asserted
that he was being followed and re-
quested the sheriff to give him pro-
lection
Mr.. Dreger informed Owen that he
was alone and would have come diff
Guilty in finding deputy and advised
him to call on the chief of police. Mr..
Owen thanked the sheriff and said he
would do this. He failed, however,
to carry out this promise.
Mr.. Dreger said that the man talked
like an educated person and gave no
hint of mental arrangement
The grip of Mr.. Owen is still at the
Nicollet hotel. In it were found
numerous articles indicating that
Owen followed some branch OF the
medical profession. Also were found
several letters, the only personal ones
being two addressed to Owen and
written to him at Sublette from Gar
rett, Ind.
The letters address him as Dear
Father" and are signed Your daugh-
ter Mae" The letters indicate sad
state of family affairs. The writer of
the letter seems to be a married
woman but signs herself Mae Owen"
In one letter, written last February,
an appeal is made for thirty-tive dol
lars. And the writer seems to think
this is large sum of money.
Another letter was from a friend liv-
ing in Spooner, Wis, and signed O. A.
Pickering. Another letter was of a
business nature and had reference to
the transfer of deeds and was written
by E. M. Elliot, cashier of the Spooner
state bank. The last two letters bore
recent dates.

Yesterday Mrs. Martin Kunkel OF
Baldwin, received a telegram from
Minneapolis announcing that hel
father, E. M. Owen, had committed
suicide while at church in that city
She can assign no cause for the act
and believes he must have been TEN
porarily deranged.
The following account of the tragedy
is taken from the Minneapolis Tri
bune of Monday:
LAS the last strains of the organ
were dying out after the, service a
the First Baptist church last night al
old man, unknown to any in the
congregation, jumped to his feet
pulled revolver out of his pocket ant
placing it against his breast pulled the
trigger.
The bullet passed directly through
his heart and without a sob the I'm.
fortunate man fell forward on his
face in the aisle, blocking the passage
of the worshippers that were leaving
the church after the service.
The shot caused a great commotion
in the church. Women tainted and
men turned pale when they saw the
bleeding form on the floor. Some of
the more stout hearted ran to lift the
PROSTATE form, but the man was dead
and human aid was of no avail. The
blood oozing from the wound in his
breast spread slowly over the carpet.
carpet.
One man ran out and notified police
headquarters. The coroner was called,
but he could only confirm that the
man was dead, a fact that was only
too apparent.
In hos pockets was found a draft
on the First National bank of Sublette,
ILL.,, for $500 made out in favor of w.
R. Owen. 1t is therefore thought that
that is the mans name. Besides the
check were found gold watch, a
twenty dollar bill and 1885 in change,
a tobacco pouch and some keys. He
was apparently about sixty years of
age and fairly well dressed.
The man had not been noticed by
anyone in the congregation until the
words of the text, "Yea, let them turn
everyone from his evil way and from
the violence that is in their hands, "
as it was uttered by Rev. w. B. Riley,
the pastor. He was then seen to start
violently by those that sat nearest to
him and to move uneasily in his seat.
His right hand was thrust into his
pocket, but he made no attempt until
the service was over, to draw the
pistol hidden there.
Several times he was seen to stare
about him in a dazed sort Of fashion.
At one time he got up and crossed the
aisle and sat down near the door, but
he soon came back to the same place
and remained there until the last peals
of the organ were dying away, when
he rose to his feet and without word
sent the fatal bullet through his heart.

to anyone in the church. the rainms

Boil two ounces of the best hops in
four quarts of water for half an hour !:
strain and let the liquor cool down to
the warmth of new milk, then put in
a small handful of salt and half a
pound of sugar, beat up one pound of
the best flour with some of the liquor
and then mix we'll all together. Let
this mixture stand until the third day.
then add three pounds of potatoes
boiled and mashed, let it stand a day
longer, stirring frequently and keeping
it near the fire in an earthen vessel,
then strain and put in bottles and il
is ready for use. The advantage of
this yeast is that it ferments spontan-
eously not requiring the aid of other
yeast. If we'll cooked and kept in a
cool place, 1t will keep six months or
more. 1t has been thoroughly tested
and never fails to make delicious light

THE FLOOD OF NOAH.
Geology Proves the Foundation OF
the Biblical Account.

There are Biblical doubters who scof
at the idea that there ever was Il great
flood, yet the testimony of the geolo-
gists, to say nothing of Ignatius Don
nelly's theory of the submerged conti-
nent of Atlantas, proves that at one
time the entire earth's surface was
covered with water. Professor Wright
of Oberlin, who has made geology a
life study, brings US new light upon the
subject. In writing on the subject Of
the contributions of Geology to the
Creditability of the Flood" he states
that the level of the land changes con-
stantly. The highest mountains were
once below the sea-level, as is proven
by the finding of sea-shells on the sum-
mits of the highest peaks. All of Cen
trail Asia was once covered by water
and is now drying up. In fact the dry
ing out process has been going on for
thousands of years. The Turkestan and
Siberian low-lands were once sub
merged, while evidence is shown that
the Desert of Cobb was once a body
of water equal to the Mediterranean in
size and depth.
The valley of the Jordan in ages back
was covered with water to a depth of
from 1000 to 1,400 feet, while changes
of level and climate in Asia seem to
prove that the Deluge once passed over
the entire country.

GIANT KANSAS CORN.
Exciting Experiences of Boy Lost In
Field of Growing Grain.

A report which seems to have come
from the Portland Exposition states
that a great object of curiosity there
is a corn stalk of mammoth size reach
ing almost up to the very roof of the
agricultural building. The history Oh
the stalk is perhaps as marvellous as
the object itself.
1t appears that prior to the last
hot wave which swept over the coun-
try, a farmer in Kansas sent his f1f-
year-old son out to take a look
over the corn field and notify him of
the prospects. In order to do this the
son went to the implement shed which
this wise farmer had provided and
procured a ladder with which he
climbed one of the cornstalks. After
surveying a fine growth of corn for
miles around, the boy started to climb
down, but in his excitement at the
prospects of the golden harvest which
Amador ledger., 1905-11-03

his father would reap, he had Ialleo
TO notice the rapidity of the growth OF
the stalk which he had ascended. AS
quickly as he stepped down, so much
more rapidly the stalk seemed to grow,
and he was no nearer the bottom than
when he started.
His father. noting the absence OF
his son. saw that it would be useless
for him to hunt through the jungle of
waving corn, so he climbed to the top
of his windmill and his anxious eyes
beheld his boy waving his red bandana
in despair. Hastily summoning his
neighbor and his other two sturdy
sons, they proceeded with axes to
chop down the wicked stalk. Their
axes, however, failed to find the same
mark twice, so rapidly did the stalk
shoot upward. Night came on with
out their accomplishing anything and
the boy was left to what appeared to
be terrible fate. Like most Kansas
boys, however, he was awake to all
his opportunities, and existed for a
long time on the raw corn, having con-
sumed so much that he later notified
his parents by means of a message
written on one of the dried corn leaves
that he was getting so fat there was
danger of the stalk breaking with his
weight. He wrote that he believed a
more balanced ration wpuld relieve
his fears, suggesting the planting of
beans at the base of the cornstalk as
an eXpedient.
However, before the beans could Sc
cure enough growth, the drought
came on and stopped the growth of
the stalk and the boy was enabled
to climb down, thus saving his life.
AS mementos of the occasion, the lad
gathered up the corn cobs which he
had thrown down from his lofty seat,
amounting to something over four
bushels and a peck, and on these he
has been working, turning them into
corn-cob pipes which he is exhibiting
at the Truth Bureau of the Portland
Exposition.
