 sy Testified.

HERKIMER, N. l., Nov. 2I.-Dr. Douglas of Little Falls, one of the phy- sicians who helped to perform the au- topsy on Grace Browns body, testified at the trial of Chester Gillette that the injuries found on the body were in- hlcted before death. He testified that the tennis racket that Gillette buried and which the sheriff found was ca pablo of producing the abrasions and other injuries found on the body. ''The condition of the girls lungs did not in- dicate drowning" said pr. Douglas. This was stricken out.
 'sThe lips were swollen. and the tip of the nose was enlarged and discolored. The left center upper tooth was over tapping the right center upper tooth. The left cheek bone was swollen. There were abrasions and membrane at the lips. These injuries were in- fifcted before death." he said. "The blood vessels of the head had been separated as if by blows"

J,p,n orowI. ., the New Woman,

The girl who is the product of the female education of the present day does not make a suitable wife for or dinary Japanese. by any means. She learns much at school that is of no use to her in after life, and she is too often made eonceited by the smat- tering of knc ~ledse she possesses and is apt to put on airs. There is a great lack of practicabiIity about the in- struction given to young girls at most modern schools Some of the girls from these schools may suit the tastes of officials. but the majority of them are summed by marrying men. for the reasons given above.-Rikuso ZasshI

was that the blows could have been administered after death. and their line of questioning indicated a conten- tion that the girl in drowning rose to the surface of the water three times and each time struck the overturned skin and received the injuries alleged by the witnesses and the state to have been inflicted before she was deposited in the lake.
 This hearing was the first in which the district attorney had made an at- tempt to prove directly that Grace Brown was actually murdered. He had spent a week in showing a possible motive and so connecting Gillette with the case that the jury would look to him as the guilty person should mur- der be proved at the close of the states case.

Will Rebuild,

Duluth-The Peavey terminal eleva..
tor, which was destroyed by the fire
on Rice's Point, will be rebuilt as soon
as possible, and meantime a tempo
rary house will be erected to be used
as a shipper to load the grain out of
the big concrete annex of the burned
working house.
The burned house was of wood. but
it is altogether likely, according to A.
L. Searle Of Minneapolis, manager OF
the Peavey elevators at the Head of
the Lakes, that the new house will be
constructed Of fireproof material. There
are two and one-half million bushels
of grain in the annex, and the tenn
pora1J shipping house will be made
ready to handle this grain by the OPEN
ing of navigation if possible. The new
permanent elevator will be of the same
size as the. one just destroyed, which
was 100000 bushels.
