HindoO Conception of Immortality.
Christians believe in the immortal
ty of the soul. as do the Hindoos, but
the contrast here is striking. Chris
tians believe that God created man
and that there was a time when we
were not. Hindoos believe that the
soul is uncreated and that it has al
ready existed forever as it will con-
tinue to live forever Christians sup
pose that at death the soul enters ian
eternal state" where it will continue
forever, but Hindoos think of death
merely as an incident in the long
chain of endless changes which go on
without beginning or end, unless in
deed in rare instances some one attain
salvation. Salvation to the Christian
means heaven, but to the educated
Hindoo it means absorption in the
Deity and the loss of our individual
existence Save as it finds this saliva
ton. then, the soul goes on and on for
ever and exists In vast variety of
| forms-on earth, in heaven, in hell, as
god, devil insect, animal, man, having
| all experiences and undergoing every
possible form of happiness and woe
though on the whole suffering FREEDOM

FOR HEAD OF G. A. r.
Major Sackett Is a Candidate for De-
partment Commander.

St. Peter, Jan. 22.-Anong the civil
war veterans who are receiving mention
as possible successors of c. L. Mac
donald of st. Cloud, department. COM
manuer of the Minnesota G. A. r., is
Major A. l.. Sackett of this city. The
st. Peter man is not an active candi-
date for the place, but should he allow
the use of his name he would have a
loyal following of Grand Army men
throughout the state.
Major Sackett has war record of
which any man might be proud, having
served three years and nine months with
the Eighty ninth New York infantry.
When his regiment was recruited he
enlisted in Company f and fought with
it at Antietam, Fredericksburg Hanover
Junction and the siege of Petersburg.
He was on the firing line in all of its
twenty battles and skirmishes, and did
not lay down his arms until after the
surrender at Appomatox.
While not one of its territorial set
tiers, Major Sackett is nevertheless a
veteran Minnesota miller. Directly al
ter the close of the war he came to st
Peter and was employed in the mil
which he now owns. At that time this
city was one of the greatest primary
wheat markets i'll the west, millions oil
bushels of grain being marketed hero
every fall and freighted out my The
steamers in the spring of the year
When the first railroad was built IL
here in 1871, he formed partnership
with Charles Fay, and they have con
trolled the industry for nearly thirty
! five years.
Major Sackett has several times helt
public office. A few months after com
| ing to st. Peter he was elected registe
of deeds of NicolIet county for on
term and in 1882 was sent to the stat,
senate serving four years. He ha
thrice been mayor of st. Peter, was TO
thirteen wears trustee of the st. Pe

SAM ROSS ARRESTED.
Violates Recently Passed Anti-Auc-
ton Ordinance.

From Saturdays Daily.
Sam Ross, formerly of this city, but
now a prosperous merchant at lie Sueur
Center, is in trouble with the village
council there. He has been making it a
practice to hold an auction Ill his store
every Saturday, auctioning off his goods
himself. This has displeased the other
merchants, and the village council, said
to be composed of three other merchants,
met the other day and passed an ordl-
nance requiring that anybody who auc-
lions shall take out license and fixing
the fee at S25 day. Mr.. Ross came to
this city and consulted with Mr. Clark.
who advised him to disregard the ordi-
nance, as the fee was prohibitive and
therefore unreasonable. He started his
auction yesterday and was promptly ar
rested for violating the ordinance. Last
evening he came to Mankato and engag-
ed Mr.. Clark to defend him. The hear
inc has been set for next Friday, and
Mr.. Clark will appear for Mr.. Ross at
that time.

NJ APPLETON FarmS. .snO Disappeared
Latter Pat Of November.

On the 2lst of November, 1904, ID. NJ.
Hartman, Mapleton farmer, suddenly
disappeared taking with him a horse and
cart which weye mortgagcd. The mort
gage was afterwards paid by the fam
ilv, hut the husband and father has
never returned. A report was prevalent
that he had been seen by Mankato par
ties in Alabama, but his brother living
in that state wrote to a friend here that
he had not seen him.
When the man first disappeared it was
the prevalent idea that the family were
aware of where he went, but as time
passes it becomes apparent that they are
as ignorant of the mans whereabouts as
others, and there is now talk of efforts
being made to find out whether David
Hartman is in the land of the living
He was member of the local Odd Eel
lows lodge, and that organization would
have no doubt put forth efforts for To-
eating the missing brother had they not
too shared the idea that his whereabouts
were known.
! MI Hartman was a good citizen and
while not over ambitious endeayored to
do what was right and honest, and it is
possible that in worrying over his in
debtcdness he might have made way
with himself, but those who knew him
best are inclined to believe that he is
living and that efforts should be made
/ to bring about his return to his fam
ilv. If there are those who can throw
any light on Nh. Harriman's disappear
ance or can give any information as tf

WILL DRAW THE COLOR LINE
Separate Schools for the Negroes in
Many Kansas Towns.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 22.-kansas, which
has srcnt so much blood and treasure in
maintaining the equality of the negro
before the law. is about to draw the col
or line
The recent decision of the supreme
court sustaining the validity of the law
authorizing the board of education to
maintain separate schools for white and
negro children in Kansas City causes the
negro leaders to apprehend general
movement in the state to segregatc the
races. And their alarm is not without
cause, as plans for the establishment of
separate schools have already been made
in two other cities of the state, i'll con-
sequence Of which the negroes have call
ed a meeting to protest against it.
Several months ago the board of edu-
cation at Coireyville provided for separ-
ate schools for white and negro pupils.
The schools in which the negro pupils at
Cofeyville are taught have negro
teachers.
\ case is pending i'll the supreme court
which will test the validity of the ac-
ton of the Cof'eyvile board. a negro
pupil. who had been denied admission
to school set aside for whites, has
brought mandamus proceedings to COM
pel the board to rescind its order
