STEERS SWIM TO SAFETY.
Respond to Masters Call, Heard
Quarter of Mile Away.

In response to their masters call,
heard a quarter of mile away above
the road of raging waters in the
blackness of stormy night, herd
of 81 steers, penned in lot surround
ed by barbed wire fence, leaped in.

where they had taken their last stand
on high ground in the middle of the
lot, swan over the fence, and swim

without single loss.
Such is the report which reached
Columbia, Mo-, from Perche creek.
seven miles away. The creek, which
joins the Missouri only a few miles
from the point in question, was on
rampage and had flooded the country
for miles.
Frank Scott, the owner OF the
steers, had trained them to come at

close as he could and called to them

ted suicide by taking poison at An
CORA, on the Rainy Lake road.
She reached Virginia on the Great
Northern road; registered at the hotel
where she stayed over night and next

half a mile down the track drank

threatened with insanity and prefer
death. Bury me here as I am. Have

Spouse to a telegram announcing the
serious illness of his brother.
Winona-The bankers of the First
congressional district will meet in this
city on Tuesday, June IL, and plans
for the convention are about COM
pleted.
st. Cloud-Some of the local capt.
talists are working on a plan to de-
velop the peat boys near this city. It
is a well known fact that there is any
quantity of peat in the vicinity OF
this place. Peat can be found in every
case where wire grass bogs exist. In
some cases, of course, the peat is only
q few inches thick, but in most places
there is enough to make it a paying
proposition.

whelming in magnitude. Their number
of avowed liberals among their 600
members is only about As. That is
what causes the trouble; that is why
they cannot be made to fit into any
form of representative government
which is supposed to reflect the polit-
ical views Of the majority of the peo-
pie for the time being. Common folks
change their opinions. The lords in
herit along with their estates and stick
to them. They are always on one side.
When the conservative party is in
power they take things easy and pass
every measure that is sent up to them.
When the ship of state is manned by a
liberal crew they wake up a bit and do
their best to wreck it by vetoing near
ly every important measure that
comes before them.

tocracy. That in which the lords gath
er to exercise their legislative func-
tons is far finer, more impressive and
picturesque than that in which the
elected representatives hold their sit
tfngs. The house of commons ends in
the speakers chair, a comparatively
simple affair, save that it is suggestive
of anything but comfort. The house of
lords ends in throne-a thing of gilt
and splendor and large proportions
from which the sovereign opens par

is vast wall, on which are splendid
frescoes in gigantic figures and in rich

But the peers themselves do not

natural Shangtung silk, buttoned with

sleeves of the little black coat are cut
short and broad and wide, trimmed at

the fact of an armhole. Not bad
desire, either, when you come to con-
slider it, for the armhole has always
been a point liable to reveal the hand
of the expert or of the ineXpert, and
chance is given to the amateur, who
might indeed well achieve faithful

The evening frock has a skirt of
black and white stripe, which might
either be accomplished in satin and
silk or in velvet and chiffon, the lat
ter involving infinitely more trouble,
but being infinitely more effective,
and the solid hem of silk and satin or
velvet would invest it with durabil-
ity. Rosettes of ribbon decorate the
skirt, held in the centers with dia-
mond buttons, and the bretelles are
of white embroidered in jet and dia-
monds, and on these again smaller
rosettes put in an appearance, while
tassels of jet hang on each side Of

Mankato-A dog thought to be af-
fiicted with rabies attacked several
other dogs in Beauford township and
was pursued southwark by a number
of farmers armed with guns, but it
made it's escape.
In view of the further fact that sew
eral dogs have been killed in Beauford
during the last few months, and which
were thought to have been suffering
from rabies, the Mapleton village coun-
Gil has voted that all CANNES within
the village limits must be tied up or
muzzled. The village marshal is au-
thorized to shoot all unmuzzled dogs
running at large.
Last week four cattle on c. S. wis
hart's farm in Maple township died
of some strange disease, and the state
veterinarian, DR.. Beeber, was sum-
moned to examine the herd. He gave
1t as his opinion that the cattle had
rabies. Mr.. Wishart will have one
of the cattle tested to determine the
matter finally.

The true dress artist Ia always an
enthusiast, and no. even for the most
extensive commercial consideration
would she persuade the chiffon wo-
man" into satin brocade, or the
"tailor-made girl to the picturesque
allurements of clinging folds.
Clinging folds are much in fashion
just now, and few styles are more
graceful than the most prevalent,
which embraces a corselet skirt fitted
round the waist and hips and falling
in full folds to the feet, the corselet
being low in the front and high at the
back, while square or semi-circular
bretelles hang over the sleeves to give
the essential g-shouldered line.
The dress is filled to the neck with
soft chiffon or lace, and bears sleeves
to match trimmed perhaps with bands
of cloth to correspond with the skirt;
and over this costume is loose coat
of Chinese shape, always with the
lines dropping from the shoulders the
length of this, and extends either to
the waist or to the hips. The hat is
placed boldly over the forehead and
bears dropping plume at the back,
the whole contour of costume, from
head to heel, seeming to droop with
an unaffected grace in every pleat.
1t is easy to imagine that under the
aegis of this sort of costume the least
graceful woman might have a share
of elegance, so that she regulate the
length of the coat and skirt and the
commencement of the corselet in the
front and back to suit her special pro-
portions. Sometimes these corselet
skirts are entirely made in pleats,
small box pleats closely cut together,
and stitched firmly down to the hips,
whence they flow to the hem. On
other models they are contrived with
the bretelles made with a sort of
waistcoat effect. But they form a by
no means ideal waistcoat, a garment
which is at it's best when made sep
arately of striped velvet or silk and
worn with an ordinary narrow skirt
and coat of masculine simplicity.

Dan Patch.

st. Paul-"Dan Patch, 1854, on the
Minnesota State Fair race track IN
'07," is the latest slogan of the state
fair people. For the greatest of all
PAGERS has been engaged again for the
coming state fair. He will appear on
Monday afternoon, Sept. 2, the open
ing day of the fair, and is to go
against his own worlds record of 1: So
fiat which he made at the Minnesota
fair last September. This was the
fastest mile ever made by harness
horse under any conditions, but Mr..
Savage and Mr.. Hersey, Dams train
er and driver, are both confident that
he can beat the 1906 mark this sea-
son. The famous horse was never in
better condition than now and looks
good for something better than ever
when he gets to work on the track.
It is fact that Dan Patch has
never appeared on the Minnesota State
Fair track without lowering his Min
nesota record. He has gone against
time on this track five times with the
following results:
1903-August 81. Time 200
1905-September 4....... Time 1:59h
September 9........ Time 1:57R
1906-September 3......... Time 1862
September Time 1855
This last achievement gave to the
Minnesota State Fair track the honor
of the worlds record for the fastest
mile ever travelled by a harness horse.

Gold Mine,

Winona-Investigat into the re-
port Of the gold mine on the Carney
farm near Elba in this county shows
that there is good foundation for the
stories that have been sent out. The
first indications of gold were found
on the farm some years ago when a
deep well was sunk. The we'll driller
said the soil brought out was different
than he had found anywhere else, and
he believed that gold ore was in 1t.
Mr.. Carney has since been interested
in some Western copper and gold
mines, and from his Investigations
there he was sure he had gold ore
on his own farm. Recently he did
some prospecting, sinking a six-foot
shaft down about twelve feet. Some
of the ore removed he had assayed
and found it to contain gold that would
run about 81 to the ton. Since then
the shaft has been sunk more than 80
feet and the looks of the ore continues
to improve. Another assay is now be-
fng made, and upon it depends future
opera tons.
