The Mclean ticket went through with
majorities so tremendous as to make it
scarcely worth while to mention the oppo-
sition. ALSO ram expresses what hap
pened to the 'fnsurgents.' The highest vote
cast by the opposition was 152 votes out
of 674. The 152 votes were for Mrs Eleanor
Washington Howard, who permitted her
name to be placed in nomination against
Mrs Mclean for president general. Mrs.
Howard was not in the congress yesterday
nor today. and it is said she was Indifferent
as to whether her name was or was not
placed before the congress. She had no
hope of winning out. The remainder of the
Mclean ticket, exactly as nominated by
the District of Columbia department in its
annual session. went through with majori
ties of from two hundred to four hundred.

HIS TESTIMONY PosITIVE.-Paulino ).
PrecIado editor of a Mexican news
paper in Brownsville, Tex, and an
witness to the shooting Of Frank
Natous, the only man killed in the af-
fray there, was on the stand last Fri
day before the senate committee on
military affairs. Dramatically telling
his story in Spanish and having it in
terpreted for the committee, the testi-
mony proved to be the most important
heard during the present hearings.
When the shooting began Preciado
was sitting in the court in the rear
Of Tillman's saloon. With him were
two companions. A Mr.. Crixwell,
coming in excitedly, reported that the
negroes Were out" The doors TO
Tillman's saloon were Immediately
closed and barred and Natous, the
bartender, started across the court to
bar the gate which connected the
court with the alley. Preciado follow-
ed, but before he had emerged from
the saloon into the court he saw q
group Of five or six negro soldiers In
uniform near the gate. They fired
several shots and Natous threw up his
arms and exclaiming in Spanish "Oh
God" fell on his back. He was killed
instantly. Another bullet grazed Pre-
ciado's hand and 1t bled profusely.
Still another bullet passed through
Preciado's coat and vest near the left
breast pocket and broke his glasses
which were in a case in the pocket.
The men proceeded down the alley
shooting as they went. Preciado swore
positively that the men were negro
soldiers.

awful consumption Of timber. The
Asheville Citizen says: "Mr. Rhine

interested himself to some extent IN

realized that sooner or later market
able walnut lumber would be a very
scarce article and forthwith he began
to e-forest. He now has great
quantity Of young walnut trees. He
also has a large grove Of lucust. which
he is raising for market. while

State Treasurer Jennings has pub
lished official Notice that interest will
not be paid July next on the bonds
purloined from the treasurers Office
through the operations Of Clerk Daniel
Zimmerman. This notice, 1t will be
observed, covers five $1,000 bonds and
six $500 bonds. eleven bonds in all, of
a total face value of $4,000. But there
were nineteen bonds stolen from the
state treasurers office by Zimmerman;
thirteen $500 bonds and six $1,000
bonds, so that there are not represent
ed in this statement seven $500 bonds
and one $1,000 bond, making a total of
$4,000. The expla" a"ation is that these
eight bonds not included in the notice
have been exchanged for certificates OF
stock during the last few years, since
the theft by Zimmerman and sale in
the market The certificates of stock
are payable to order and are trans
ferable only on the books Of the state

traced and the state treasurer can as

Death from Friqht.

Rushford-Knute Johnson, aged
seventy-three years, a resident Of
Rush Creek Valley for six years, liv-
ing at the home of his son-in-law, Ed
Axness, four miles north of Rushford,
met death in Rush Creek from fright
by an accident. Although his body
was found in the water, it was found
that drowning was not the cause Of
his sudden demise.
He had been visiting his daughter in
Fremont, and on his return home he
attempted to cross the creek on a
drift log. 1t is thought he lost his
balance while fording and that his
foot became securely locked between
the trunk and the limb of the tree.
His body, thus suspended, was found
by searching party.
The coroner of Winona county was
summoned and stated that death re-
suited from fright while the aged man
was in the act of falling.

A Hard Question.

Stillwater-When a child over six
feet tall and weighing 20 pounds or
more presents himself in a saloon
and asks for drink of liquor, is the
saloonkeeper deserving of a severe
punishment if he fails to discover that
the applicant for refreshments is q
minor? This question was put up to
the pardon board in the petition
for a pardon for Andrew Ledin, SEN
fenced from Isanti county, Sept 25
last, to the county jail for thirty days
and to pay a fine and costs amount
ing to $76S6 for selling liquor to a
minor.
The offense was committed in Cam
bridge about a year ago. There is
no denial of the sale of the liquor to
the youth of such ample proportions,
although it is asserted that the sale
was not made by Ledin personally but
by his bartender.

ESCAPED.

st. Cloud-Anna Ouestrusky Jarmu-
eek, kidnaper of the Giauque baby,
who was taken to the reformatory
recently to serve sentence for her
crime, made sensational escape from
that institution.
She had not been in the prison long
enough to have her picture taken or
to become very well acquainted with
the officials in charge. She appar-
emily had thought of nothing but
escape after being taken to ST. Cloud,
and she waited patiently until oppor-
tunity came.
That Mrs. Jarmuzek is shrewd is
now fully believed by those who have
had anything to do with her. She
first astonished the people of Mime
apolis by successfully kidnapping a
four-day-old child and escaping from
the city. She next startled the Off
Gals by jumping her bail after being
indicted. She was recaptured at her
home near Little Falls. Now she has
escaped from Jail just like any des.
perate man, and with a good start
bids fair to make the chase after her
an interesting one.
She was captured at Foley after a
hard struggle with officers and re-
turned to the reformatory.

form what is known as the depart.
ment of communications. Although
this department has had only a few
years in which to build up the tele.
phone service it has made such prog
ress as to put the Japanese system in
a condition which makes it so much
superior to others in the east that it
is not for moment to be compared
with them, says the American Tele-
phone Journal. In fact the Japanese
telephone men have adopted many
ideas in connection with the building
and operation of their plants which
show that they could give valuable
pointers to many Europeans in charge
of telephone systems under govern
ment control
Their progressiveness, for example,
in the use of telephones to aid in
army maneuvers is known to the
whole world 1t is acknowledged
everywhere that in the late war with
Russia they developed field telephone
service to a point of greater efficiency
than has been reached by any other
army.
Toxic has, as would be expected,
the largest telephone system of any of
the Japanese cities, and the general
features of construction and operation
there seem to be typical of the prac-
tice throughout the country.
Out of population of nearly a mil
lion people about $4,000 are subscrib-
ers for telephone service. The lines
are divided between five Offices. The
rates are &c yen (about $3.50 for
either business or residence stations.
All lines are individual, party line
service being esteemed unsatisfactory.
Cleanliness is the most noteworthy
thing which impresses itself upon a
visitor to one of these central offices.
The reason for the absence of dust is
made apparent to the stranger by the
request that he shall remove his
boots before entering, which is
courteously made at the door, AL
though pair of slippers is provided
as substitute Tor the loot covering
worn out of doors, the shape of these
shoes is SO peculiar that the writer
has in some instances found it more
convenient to walk in his stocking
feet. The advantage of this oriental
custom of removing the shoes before
walking upon the floor of room is
shown clearly enough by the results.
The Japanese Offices are by long
odds the neatest the writer has ever
been in in any part of the world
