A GOOD SUGGESTION,

The Melrose Beacon has a very
timely article on the value of adver-
Using in its last issue. The Beacon
points out that the Ladies' Ready
Made Garments company of New York
had just paid SIS, 900 for an advertise
ment in the current number of a
magazine that has general circulation
among families all over the country,
and that there was but little doubt
but that the company would do a big
mail order business among patrons
of Melrose stores, and suggested that
the proper thing for the Melrose
merchants was to adopt the methods
of the mail order house and 60 after
the business. The Beacon intimated
that it covered the Melrose field about
three hundred times as we'll as the
magazine would cover that field, and
that judicious use of local advertis.
ing would bring results.

as he desired to hold the position no
man living could defeat him. The
south is land of sentiment, and
every man who ever served under him
loved him, and would make any sacri-
flee TO give him what he wanted.
General Wheeler is dead. He died
as he hoped to die-an officer of the
United States Army. He was not the
greatest commander either of the
north or south, but he was the best
loved man that ever commanded men.
He was stranger to fear. No hard
ship ever was too severe for him to face;
no obstacle was ever too great to deter
him from the performance of his duty.
The watchword of his life was duty"
More eyes were vet with tears
when the news of his death flashed
over the wires than were called forth
by the death of any man of modern
times. Peace to his ashes.

The company is far above the average

the metropolitan standard. The
specialties are all good, Miss Warmers
poses being especially fine.
Tonight they give yankee Folks
as one of the specialties. Miss Cora
Warner will repeat her "Illusion
Dance" given Tuesday night, fol-
the last time this week. This alone
will be worth the price of admission,
Is, Is and IS cents. A lady will be
admitted free with each reserve seat

"Dorris," will be given.
Saturday afternoon a matinee will
be given at which the price will be ten

LOSES HIS LIFE BY
AN ACCIDENT.

A telegram received by the editor
of the H erald on Monday con-
tanned the sad news of the death of
his fourteen year old nephew,
Tommy, at his home in Olympia,
Wash. The papers of that place
give the following account of the
accident:
''Tommy Eddy, the fourteen
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bige
Eddy, was accidently hanged on
Wednesday night and strangled to
death hours before his father dis
covered the dead body.
'The boy had taken much inter-
est in athletics and had fitted up in
the loft of the woodshed, near the
family home, what he called his
gymnasium. The feature of the
equipment was trapese.
''The last seen of the boy by any
of the family, prior to his death, was
about 1880 of that evening, when
he s. ::,rted for his ''gym." Abou,
8 O'Clock, just before she retired,
Mrs. Eddy called to the boy, and
herring no reply assumed that he was
at a neighbors.
cat IL o'clock Mrs. Eddy
awakened, looked into the boys
room and discovered his absence
This alarmed her and as she began al
anxious search, Mr.. Eddy returned
from down town. He went to tn,
woodshed and there discovered thu
boys dead body hanging. A small
piece of heavy hemp Irvine fastened
to the bar had caught the little fel
low about the neck.
"Although his toes stretched
would nearly touch the floor, tn
child strangled to death, the noos'
about his throat preventing an,
outcry lond enough to summon
help.
"Mr. Eddy cut the body dow
and carried it into the house. A
telephone message brought DR.
Redpath hurrying there, but hi
services were of no avil. Dealt
had occurred at least two hours be
fore, and the body was cold ant
beyond resuscitation.
''Tommy Eddy was favorite will
his schoolmates and about tow
generally. He has been employed
at the postoffice to deliver specia
delivery letters, and thus had be
come known to and liked by larg'
number of business men.
"Mr. and Mrs. Eddy are prostratet
by the shock of the tragedy"

WINNIPEG EXPRESS
IS WRECKED
Great Northern Train Goes in the
Ditch at FELTON,, MINI. Early
Wednesday Morning.

The Great Northern Winnipeg Ex-
press known as No. s, east bound, was
wrecked withinthe limits of this village
at 1:3O O'Clock Wednesday morning,
while running at high rate OF speed.
The accident was caused by the break
ing of clip off switch and occurred
after the engine, baggage and mail
Cars had passed. The next five
coaches went off the track and buried
themselves deep in the sand, after
tearing up the track for fifteen rail
lengths. This train does not stop at
FELTON, and was passing through the
village at about forty-five miles an
hour.
ONLY ONE HURT
Only one passenger, man named
Bollman, was seriously hurt. Boil
man stood near the door of the smok-
err when the derailment occurred, and
feeling his coach humping and ca
reening along the grade, he ran out
the door and made jump for the bag
gage coach ahead, just as that part OF
the train broke loose. He caught
with his hands and dragged eight o,
ten rail lengths, finally falling on the
track. The derailed cars had nearly
stopped ~ this tir1e, ir fcct, ther'
was but eight or ten feet between then
and Bollman. The latter was injured
about the head and limbs quite
seriously but will recover. A few
others on the train received bumps
bruises and cuts but in no case wer,
these serious.
A wrecking train with DR.. Dunlop
of Crookston, on board arrived her
several hours after the accident, al
did also train from GAINESVILLE. Tn
wrecker had three of the derailet
coaches back on the track at noon ant
the line wilhbe clear by tonight.

On Friday of last week the st. Cloud
high school basket ball team de-
scended on this city like wolf on the
fold. They went back to St. Cloud as
meek as sheared lambs.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock they lined up
in the city hall for practice. They
were a clean limbed, husky looking
bunch of boys and when they were
practicing the way they threw baskets
from all sorts of impossible positions
caused the supporters of the Sank
Centre boys to look for their hearts in
the bottom of their shoes. The teams
lined up as follows:
Sank Centre st. Cloud
Campbell r. forward Price
VanCaIap j.. forward Gallagher
Dubois center DeLeo
Hanson L. guard Tschumperlin
Rich r. guard Stevenson
and Redding
When the game began things
changed. The Sank Centre boys
/ played like base ball team away
from home that had to win in order to
secure the gate receipts to pay their
board while the st. Cloud lads played
like millionaire's sons who were
playing for exercise, not because they
had to. Gallagher of st. Cloud
accidently threw one basket from the.
field. 1t surprised him so that he
didn't do thing more for the rest of
the game. The Sank Centre boys
threw baskets whenever they felt like
it. They could have thrown a.
thousand but whenever things looked
dangerous the referee from st. Cloud
yelled "Foul" and then he would give
the ball to tall handsome young
man from the Sanity City and he
would look at the girls in the balcony
and throw the ball at the spectators or
the electric lights, at least that is what
he hit for he only dropped it into the
basket once.
Every one of the Sank Centre boys
played star game. It is difficult to
individualize. Tall Dubois at centre
so thoroughly outclassed his opponent
that in charity we say nothing. Phil
Rich made so many baskets that we
lost count. The only. thing that kept
"Spider" Hansen from jumping
sixteen feet high was the ceiling. He
is little but ooh, my"
The final score was 35 to and our
high school boys stopped scoring out
of sheer pity. There is some talk of q
return game but whats the use?''

PERSONAL "reminiscences OF

1894, the man had the most curiosity
to meet was General Joseph Wheeler
of Alabama. had co usin who was
a federal officer, and was captured by
the doughty little general. He es-
capped; was recaptured; escaped again,
and was again recaptured. The third
time Gen. Wheeler got him he said:
"Young man, you are entirely too
numerous. This time you 60 to

Libby" and he handcuffed and
shackled him and sent him to that
noted prison. My cousin had often
spoken to me of "Fightidg Joe," and
in my mind I pictured him as DASH
ing southerner, at least six feet tall,
with long, flowing, black hair, and
jet black eyes, ready to fight at the
drop of the hat, and if necessary, to
drop the hat himself rather than not
fight.
When l arrived at Washington
registered at the Varnum Hotel. 1t
was not frst-class hotel but it cor
responded better to my finances than
the "Shoreham," the "Ebbltt," or
the "Willard." l took a room and
went out on the front porch and sat
down.
Down the street came funny look
ing old man carrying disreputable
looking cur in his arms. He was not
more that five feet, four inches in
height; bald as billiard ball; with a
ragged gray beard, and the mildest
looking blue eyes ever set in mans
face. As he passed me he remarked
apologetically: 'This beggar of dog
got his leg broken by a street car.
l am afraid that if left him in the
street he would die. l am going to
fix him up and give him to that niger
that lives across the alley"
asked Mr.. Manual, the proprietor
of the hotel, who the kind-hearted old
man was. To my utter establishment
he replied. "That is General Wheeler
of Alabama"
For two years boarded at the same
hotel as General Wheeler. A hundred
times did he illustrate the truth of the
statement: ''The bravest are the
gentlest, and the loving are the most
daring"
l remember that one evening l en-
gagged in hot discussion with him
on the question of Negro suffrage.
Hot words were passed and both lost
our temper, at least did.
| After had retired to my room, and
just sunk into slumber, knock
sounded at my door. I opened the
door and there stood General Wheeler,
enveloped in long night dress.
"Mr. Eddy" said he, SIN the heat oil
our discussion tonight, might have
said something ought not to, have
said, and which might have hurt
your feelings, and if I did I want to
apologize for it."
While General Wheeler never ex;
pressed any regret for his service in
the Confederate army, he often told
me it was the one hope of his life that
something would turn up so that he
might die wearing the uniform of a
United States officer.

HORSE THEE CAUGHT.
Bad Boy at Dickinson Is Again in the
Tolls.

Dickinson Post: Cleveland Murphy
known to fame through three escapes
from the arm of the law, returned to
the coop on Thursday evening, after
a five days pleasure jaunt through the
green fields of North and South Dako-
Ia. After his escape, via the second
story window, from the Jail Murphy
passed a day in FESTIVE quietude in III.
l., Dickinson's barn, buried deep in the
hay NOW. During the afternoon the
trusty Hemlock Holmes of the local
force repeatedly walked, over the boys
body During the night he decided
to travel and for convenience took
Chas. Rau's delivery horse, a bride
from Cecil Dobson and the trip was
on. He found a saddle at rancher's
the next night and was making good
time south, when the third night out,
he lost the bride and was forced to
steal another. The lost bride was
found and identified and a clue es-
ta blished which resulted in the cap
ture, made Thursday about noon by
two cowboys working under Sheriff
Hartung over the line in South Dako-
ia.
The return journey of over 100
miles was made in about five hours in
car owned and driven by Chas.
Langley and Z o'clock Thursday even
ing saw Cleveland the Great again be-
hind the bars, worn out and entirely
tame after the hard journey and from
sleeping without shelter on the open
prairie.
Murphy's chances for a light SEN
tence grow less with each escape. He
is now confessed horsethief with a
saddle and bride attachment. Should
he prove innocent of the first charge
of horse stealing on which he was ORR
ginally locked UP, he now stands con-
victed on the second However, should
he be sent to the reform school it is
doubtful If further prosecution would
be made against him, as his contin-
ued running away after pleading not
guilty proves that the boy is just a
boy or is a subject of emotional insan-
