Fifty years ago the gallant Light Brigade
Numbered across the field of Balaklava,

together and renewed their memories of the
bravest. maddest episode in military his

vivors of the Light Brigade. and of them
twenty-plne attended the banquet at the
Holborn restaurant. 1t was an inspiring
sight. but It was also pathetic for only
few of the warriors are prosperous, and
many OF them wore their medals bravely on
a shabby coat, and their care-lined faces
and gnarled hands showed that life had not
been overland to them. But they were
merry on their great anniversary; and espe-
cialIy did they cheer when Mr.. T. H. Rob-
erts, the chairman, announced the royal
messages. Toasts were drunk in solemn
silence to "our noble leader, the Earl Of
Cardigan" Very heartily was accorded the
health of Miss Florence Nightingale, the
soldiers friend" Mr.. T. H. Roberts made
an earnest appeal for subscriptions, so that
he could not only continue to make up the
income from all sources of the old heroes
TO Is shiliings week. but could raise it to

lishman must feel conscience stricken to
think of Balaklava hero. aged about
eighty. living on Is shiliings week.

or a passing engine, or some pronounced
noise coming from the street below.
Let us grant that the applicant comes out

to the superintendent, who gives him let
ter granting him permission to ride over
the road so that he may become accus-

At the same time he is handed the road S
book of rules and told that he must be pro-

whistle and flag signals and all the other
rules the next time he appears before the
examiner.
In the meantime the man travels up and

representative question:

John Rockefeller" in Trouble.

John Ostman, who says his name is
John Rockefeller, was arrested at Cas-
cade last Monday might and the next
day was brought before the judge OF
probate for examination as to his sanity.
Being found insane he was ordered CON-
mitted to the asylum at Fergus Falls.
As he is not a resident of this county
and it is not known that he is even q
citizen of the state it was deemed advis-
able to correspond with the state board
OF corrections and charities as to the
proper disposition to be made of the
case. Pending advice from the board,
upon the order of Judge Durfee the
man will remain in the sheriff's custody.
He is IN bad condition physically, as
we'll az mentally, and is now under the
care of DIR. Houston. who thinks that
his malady may possibly yield to medi-
cal treatment before the instructions
necessary for his commitment are receiv-
ed. Everything possible is being done
for the relief of tho sufferer.
During the early spring Ostman
worked in Gabrielson's camp at Cascade
BE was paid off few weeks ago and in
company with several fellow workmen
started for Duluth. Up to that time | Q
had shown no signs of mental failing.
Arriving in Duluth on Monday, the 9Th
lnst.. the men put up at a hotel on Gar
field avenue. After supper Ostman went
out, saying to the others that he would
return in few minutes, but his CON-
panlons did not see him again in Duluth.
When he left them he had about $1,000
IN money and a gold watch. The fol
lowing Saturday he arrived at Cascade,
as above stated, badly disordered in
both mind and body, without his watch
and with not cent IN lis pocket. He
came into Cascade carrying his shoes on
his shoulder, the sore condition Of his
feet showing that he had walked bare
foot long distance.
His mind appears to be blank. He
doesn't know his own name, always an
swering that it IS John Rockefeller. He
does not recognize those with whom be
worked in camp. When he was brought
in he had spruce bough and strip of
cedar bark, which he used as gun to pick
off imaginary soldiers seen by him in
the tree tops. He is not at all violent,
is as docile as child. His general con-
dition indicates that he Is suffering from
the effects of "knock. out" drops. It 1s
probable that he is now experiencing
