CARNEGIE SCORED BYTOM LAWSON
Famous Stock Broker Calls the
Steel Magnates Attention
to Thing or Two.

In reply to the statement of Andrew
Carnegie that he never made dollar
gambling with stocks, that speculation
in Wall Street is as bad as gaming with
cards, and that it is time for business
men to decline to recognize stock
spectators, Thomas w. Lawson
offers the following:
ITO be sure Wall street gamblers
play with marked cards, deal from
the bottom and the middle. and have
both sleeves stuffed with extra aces,
but these Wall street gamblers first
pass to every deacon>and every mem
Der of his flock their business card.
There is no law compels you to sit
into the game, but when you do, re-
member it's game.
"But Carnegie and his tribe of
Homestead sports, who manufacture
the pasteboards, covering each tell
tale nick with a commandment and
each sure-thing trick with a prayer,
who lease the cards, without which the
1
gamblers could have no game for 80
Clio per cent rake off, and who collect
the loot with a rubber-sided false
bottom vestry box-from these sports
and their kind, merciful Heaven, pro-
tect the American people and Wall
street gamblers.

showing $3.50, 900, 900 net profits paid

WITCHCRAFT IS CHARGED IN
NICOLLET COUNTY CASE

Salem days and old-world supersti-
ton were brought to mind in vivid
manner by the testimony that was Of
fered in Justice Peterson's court in
st. Peter last week. An assault case
was being tried, and the defendant was
Miss Ellen Peterson of Lake Prairie
township. She declares that witch
craft exists right in Nicellet county,
and because she punished the woman
whom she thinks is practising the black
art upon her she is serving a term in
the county Jail.
Miss Peterson regards Mrs. Martha
Norlin, neighbor, as her evil genius,
and asserts that the Norlin woman
has ibewitched the entire Peterson
household. In her testimony she told
how the evil influence of Mrs. Norlin
had caused cows to go dry, prevented
cream from ripening, caused poultry
TO die and had precipitated various
other ealamities. The officers of the
court could see nothing supernatural
in these events, but Miss Peterson de-
clared that she had always been able
to detect in them the handiwork of
Mrs. Norlin, and she limited that, one
murky night, she had caught glimpse
of the sorceress in eerie flight astride
a broom.
A few days ago the Peterson pasture
bars unacoeuntably came down and
several horses went astray. They were
not found for several hours and the
incident was Immediately recognized
as another ''spell" laid upon the Peter
sons by Mrs. Norlin. While the
search for the horses was.in progress

noyances drove past, and Miss Peter
son and a married sister ran out to
intercept her. Stopping her team,
they pulled her to the ground and
pummeled her numerically. The fol-
lowing day Mrs. Norlin swore out a
warrant charging the Peterson girl
with committing an assault.
On the strength of the girls story,
Salem judge would have sent Mrs.
Norlin to the stocks and possibly to
the stake, but for some reason it failed
to inpress the st. Peter magistrate,
and when Miss Peterson Admitted US
ing force he laconically remarked:
"Sixteen dollars, or sixteen days
The defendant chose impris onment.
All the time the girl was being ex-
amined, her brother, Christian Peter
son, sat at her side. Scarcely had the
attorney begun to speak when Chris
tian interrupted by saying that the
feud conld not end until Mrs. Norlin
had promised to leave the neighbour
hood, and when he threatened to dc
her bodily harm if she did not depart
there was trouble at once for Chris.
tian. In twinkling a second warrant
was issued for his arrest, and almost
before he realized what was going OF
he had been placed under 5000 bonds
to keep the peace. He could not fur
nish the bonds, and accompanied his
sister to Jail to serve sentence O.
six months.
The case is one of the strangest evel
known in Nicollet county, and thu
antipathy exhibited by the Peterson
family has thoroughly frightened Mrs
Merlin.

DR.. Hans Richter, the celebrated
