Minneapolis Girl Performs Marvellous
Feats at Lee Sueur.

LIE Sueur, March l3.-Miss Myra Max
well of Minneapolis, a gifted mind read
err was entertained here last night at
the home of Miss Clara Parker, presi-
dent of the Monday club. Miss Max
well gives manifestations of her mystic
gift only for friends. In one OF her
prettiest exhibitions last evening she en-
tered the room swiftly, blindfolded and
walking beside, but not touching, her
sympathetic subject; crossed the room
without hesitation, turning aside for
chairs and tables as though she could
see; went to little girl that was
standing in the corner with her face to
the wall; led the girl across the room;
lifted her up and placed her in the lap
of a woman, all exactly as it had been
arranged by the spectators that she
should do. A closed huntingcase watch,
was held in the hand of good subject
who knew what time the watch showed.
Miss Maxwell can instantly tell the eX-
act hour and minute by reading it from
the mind of the subject. She had not
used her gift for a full year previous to
last evening, but showed all her power
unimpaired by lack of practice.

Distributed THE VALUABLES
What a Sight an Easton Party Wit
messed at Zion City.

From Fridays Daily.
Last week Messrs. George Rentz Wood,
Richard Lutz and a gentleman from
Easton went to Chicago, and while there
visited Zion City, says The Wells For
nm. They were fortunate to be present
when the big collection of $4,000 in cash
and iewelry was donated to the support
of the organization and its officers. They
saw that it was sight not to be for
gotten. After great exhorting by the
ministers the donation consisting OF ev-
erything carried about the person, jew
elry, watches, rings, pins, bracelets, HAIR
pins, pocket knives, purses, and all such
things were deposited on the table in
mass to cover a table twelve feet long.
Mr.. Rentz thinks that considerable more
than $4,000 was raised, and all this
from about 5000 people at one sitting.
1t made the visitors from this vicinity
tired to listen to the amount of. eXhort-
ing that was given that day, both on ac-
count of the length of the session as well
as the force of it, and they do not feel
like becoming members of the commun-
ity of Zion. They report that the city
is a truly wonderful place in some ways
and it is nothing short of marvellous
that one man could organize and estab-
lish it.

FOR A CELEBRATION.
Commission TO Suggest a Program
for State s Jubilee Anniversary.

From Saturdays Daily.
Governor johnson has named five com
missioners to consider and recommend a
plan for celebrating the states semicen-
tennial in 1908. They are appointed UNI
der the Mannix resolution, passed last
winter by the legislature, and the au-
thor of the resolution is named as the
first member of the commission. 1t is
composed as follows: j. T. Mannix, DR..
C. H. Kohler, Minneapolis; L. B. Lynch,
st. Paul; Mayor NJ. B. Cullom, Duluth;
Captain c. c. Whitney, Marshall. This
commission will have no funds to spend,
and can only form a plan and recon-
mend it to the next legislature, but the
possibilities of the movement are ire
mendous. The commissioners will confer
with the city commercial bodies, and
are likely to recommend an exposition
devoted to exploiting the northwest.
