much interested in the Home Health

your advice about my husband. He
had his hip put out of place three
years ago; not knowing it at the time,
he always thought it was rheumatism
that made his hip ache AID the leg
shorter than the other. This summer
it was so much worse that he went to
a doctor, who said the hip had been
out of place so long that nothing could
be done. Do you think it could be
put in place by osteopathy or chiro-
practice? My husband is 81 years old.
Any advice will be thankfully received.
I will send you recipe for ague or
any other malarial disease. I have
known it to cure the ague of two years

New Market, Mimi, Sept. 21.-Two
men were dismembered and instantly
killed by the explosion of a threshing
engine boiler on the highway two and
one-half miles east of this place at sun
set last night.
Another man will lose his sight from
fearful scalds about the head and face.
Three others have injuries, principally
scalds, and two horses were killed.
The dead men are Ole Hagen, a
farmer and owner of the engine, and
Andrew Gilbertson, who was working
for Hagen.
Hagen was decapitated and his trunk
horribly mangled. He was married and
had a family Of five, his age being about
40. Gilbertson was As and single.
Andrew Cryer is the name of farm
er who will lose his sight. Oscar Tour
son, another farmer, was seated in q
buggy behind the threshing rig, and
was badly scalded. His horse was killed
and his buggy smashed to pieces. 1t is
difficult to understand how he escaped
alive.
George Gilbertson, son of Louis Gil
riously hurt. The tank tender, whose
name is not known, was blown fifteen
or twenty feet and seriously injured by
the shock. All the living are expected
to recover. :,
The engine was being taken under its
own steam to a nearby. farm, where II
was to drive the machinery of corn

and had been in use many years.

ITS SILVER CASE
Mineral Lease Law Held Consti-

of Duluth.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 21.-The state
mineral-lease law is constitutional, says
Judge Homer B: Dibell, in his decision
day He also holds that Mabel Evans
obtained her lease in proper way,
and that no conspiracy or fraud has
been proven; also that George A. Flynn
and /. G. Patterson have no interest in
it, and never had.
The state brought the action to set
aside lease granted Mabel Evans for
Of the action Attorney General Young
raised the point that the mineral lease
law, under which thousands of leases
have been issued, and several mines
are being operated by large interests
and under which the state has received
nearly million dollars in royalties
and fees, was unconstitutional. This
brought into the case a large array of
legal talent representing mining inter
ests that would have sustained great
losses if the law was declared invalid.
The raising Of this point caused the
question as to the Evans lease to be
come secondary and really insignif
cant. The attorneys for the interests
holding leases claimed that the law was
valid under an original construction OF
| the constitution and under the prac
teal construction given it by the state
and it's authorities. Judge Dibell sus
tanned both Of these contentious.
The court also finds that Pearl II
Smith never made an application fol
the land orally or written, and was
in fact, an opponent Of the state claim
inasmuch as he was trying to locate thu
land with scrip.
Whatever he was trying to do, tn,
court says he was not trying to ge
lease. The decision is a very ex
haustive one, tracing the idea O.
