WHO WAS SHE?
Baker City Girl Flecs From Brutal
Parents.


A bright, lady-like appearing young
woman. l6 years of age, whose name
we did not learn, arrived in Haines
from Baker City last Monday night,
travelling on foot from Baker City, and
spent the night and the following day
at the Haines hotel, says the Haines
Record.
The young lady told a pathetic and
doubtless truthful story of the contin-
uous unkind and brutal treatment
she had received at the hands of a
drunken father, since the death of
her mother about a year ago. She
had determined to make her way in
the world and had started out with
that determination.
The young lady displayed deter
mination and desire to be useful to
the lady of the house, Mrs. Huffman,
who was very favorably impressed
with her and offered her a home and
parental protection. which, however,
the young lady very graciously refus-
ed, as she was determined to get fur
ther away from her drunken parent
and would have resumed her journey
on Tuesday in the manner that she
came, but for the Kindness of the
landady and Miss Nellie Emery, who
contributed to her needs, thus enabl.

Keen Your Brain Busy.

DIR. Duke, the leading English brain
specialist, says the trouble with most
brains is that they are not kept busy
enough. The brain ought never rest
except during sleep, and most persons
take too much of that. A good, healthy
circulation of blood would be main
tanned in the brain if professional men
would relax themselves from their in
tellectual pursuits, not in golf, but in
chess problems and scientific investiga-
tions.

Miss KfeMsDonoLdI

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression OF spirits, reluctance to 60
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing down pains, fiatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhqa.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
n. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
al think that woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
/ cannot help from telling mine for the sake

PRAISE FOR COMPANY H.
Company Appears in Good Form at
Inspection Last Evening".

FROM TUESDAY S Dally.
Company H appeared in the finest
possible form at the inspection conduct
ed last evening at the armory by Ma
jor Nicholson. The major was pronounc-
ed in his words of praise for the boys.
He declared that if the improvement
goes on as it has been doing, Mankato
will nave an "A No. T. company by
the time the boys go to camp.
Some time ago Captain Maltby re-
ceived orders designating the time of
going to Camp Lakeview. About fifty
in all will 90 and will leave on the
Northwestern train for Owatonna on the
morning of July at seven o'clock. AT
Owatonna they will make connections
with the Milwaukee, and go then di-
rectly to Camp Lakeview, where they
will arrive about one o'clock in the af-
ternoon. They will remain in camp about
eight days.
Every effort is now being made to get
in new members. Every member who
brings in new one between now and
camp time will get an allowance of 81
on his subsistence at camp for every
new member thus secured. The company
now numbers fifty three members 1t
is hoped to have that total reach seven
ty-six by the time the company is ready
to go to the shore of Lake Pepin
After the inspection last evening, the
major held school for the non commits
stoned officers. Tonight Captain Maltby
will hold examination for candidates
for corporalships and sergeancies.
The boys will remain in camp eight
days, including the time spent in going
and coming. There will be one inter
vening Sunday, on which there will
probably be combined railroad and
steamboat excursion, just as there was
last year
An order for the election of Sec
ond lieutenant to succeed Lieut. H
Madison, resigned, is expected in the near
future.

Bruised the Coaches.

From Tuesdays Daily
Northwestern Passenger Train No. ID,
coming from New Ulm by way of st.
Peter, arrived as usual at 7:30 this
morning,bu with the unusual appearance
of several badly scratched coaches, The
storm had blown over tree by the
road side between here and New Ulm,
with the result that the paint was
partly scratched off the cars by the
branches. 1t is fortunate that the tree
did not lie in position that might have
wrecked the train.

From Fridays Daily.
At about two o'clock this afternoon.
a man probably deaf and dumb, walk
ing on the Milwaukee track about one
mile this side of lie Sueur Center, com
ing this way, was seen by the engineer
of the passenger train that makes its
regular run to Mankato every after
noon. but, though the engineer whistled.
threw on the brakes and reversed the
the throttle the man never needed nor
could the train be kept from striking
him. The man was instantly killed and
badly mangled Letters on his person
indicated that mis- name was Joe Wis
chart, that he was walking from Min
neapois to Mankato and had had moth
ing to eat for two days. The train was
stopped. George Pond and DR.. Bjelland
helped to get the body on the baggage
car, and it was taken to Cleveland.
There was nothing to indicate where
the mans home was. He seemed to
be about thirty five years old, and was
fairly well dressed. He had dark
mustache and "a heavy head of nair,
which was rather curly. He wore
soft shirt and brown suit.

FORTUNE SMILES ON HIM.
George Weaver Becomes a Wealthy
Man; Former Mankatonian.

George weaver BECOMES wealthy
Man; Former Mankatonian.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Many Mankato people who used to be
acquainted with George A. Weaver and
family, former residents of Mankato,
but now of Los Angeles, Cal, will re-
joice to learn that the aged gentleman,
after a, great deal of varying fortune in
this worlds affairs, has at last become
wealthy. In letter to General Baker
is contained the information that Mr.
Weaver has sold for $4,000 tract of
land comprising two and half gsmall
gular-sha2ed lots on the sea island
off the coast of California, twenty sew
en- miles from Los Angeles, piece of
property that cost him $3.50. And ne
he didn't wish to buy it at that time
either, but couldn't help himself. 1t
happened about fifteen years ago that
he acquired this seemingly worthless
patch He had loaned a man $3.50 on
the latter's personal note When the
note became due, the debtor said he
could not pay, but offered the land in
lieu of the money. 81 don't want the
land,' said Mr. Weaver you'll have to
take it or get nothing at all, for | have
nothing else,'' was the reply. The re-
suit was that the creditor took the land,
and later moved to the island, where he
established small hotel. This bus
mess prospered. The island gradually
grew in favor of the populace as an out
ing resort. The motel industry became
quite feature. BY and by prospective
investors began to offer Mr.. Weaver
nice sums for the property. A few years
ago he turned down an offer of $4,000.
More than fifty years ago Mr.. Weaver
and his family lived in Mankato. Mr..
Weaver was engaged here in various
lines of occupation. He was at var
ious times real estate broker, manufac-
turer of steel plows and gardner.
After moving to the west, he invested
in Los Angeles and lost about all he
had. Surely Fortune is tickle in the dis
tribution of her favors.
| 1t has also been learned that a son
of Mr.. Weaver is about to be married
to young lady of very wealthy par
ents.
Mr.. Weaver is sixty eight years of
age now, and is wisely living a life of
retirement, being no longer obliged to
delve for the necessaries of existence.
