Slayton Gazette: We regret to
hear that H. ]. Miller, editor of the
Luverne Herald has failed in health
and that he has had to take forced
vacation. For six months his friends
have noticed a gradual breaking
down and two weeks ago he was
forced to seek rest. He was taken
to California, where he will spend
the winter. His wife accompanied
him. His weakness is general, but
mostly pronounced below the knees.
Judge Brown informs US that he
expects to see him back in Luverne
in a few months fully restored to
health.
An inheritance of $75, 900 awaits
Fred. Appleton, until few months
ago a resident of Sleepy Eye. 1t
comes to him thru the death Of a
wealthy uncle in Sweden and will be
paid over to him as soon as he
appears and proves his title. All of
last summer Appleton was employed
by Hanson & Aryeson of Sleepy Eye,
but left short time ago and no
word of him has since been received.
He was member of the Woodman
lodge, and its officers have received
word from the Swedish authorities
of the legacy left him. They will
make an effort to find and apprise
him of his good fortune.
The Northwestern system from
Tracy to Watertown was in very
bad shape Saturday. owing to a
freight wreck early in the day,
says the News Messenger: The east
bound freight dropped thru bridge
between Gary and Burr and wrecked
the structure beyond repair, prac-
tically necessitating the putting in
of an entirely new bridge. The
engine passed safely over the bridge
and a few cars, a section of the
train in the middle plunging thru
the bridge and tearing it into small
pieces. The lone o'clock" passenger
was held the other side of the wreck
and an extra composed of passen-
ger coach and baggage car was run
up from Tracy, transferring pas
sengers to that around the wreck
The baggage on the first train and
and all the freight were left. That
with the usual Christmas rush ir
freight and baggage, to say nothing
of the tons of express, put things II
pretty bad shape for a day or two.

LYNCHING AT NEW UlM.
Story of the Taking off of Campbell
and LiSCOmb.

The st. Paul Dispatch forty-year
ago column, published Saturday,
contained this story:
Alexander Campbell sand George
Liscomb of Mankato were lynched
at New Ulm on Christmas day for
the killing of John Spinnersof that
place at Haunstein' saloon. Camp
bell and Liscomb, who have been
trapping in the vicinity, entered the
bar room and became involved in a
drunken row, in which Spinner was
fatally stabbed. The two men were
lodged in the county Jail. About
dark crowd broke open the jail,
hung both the prisoners, and
dragged them to the river, where
they cut a hole in the ice and threw
in the bodies. IJohn Spinner was 81
years old, and was ones of New
Ulm's first settlers. The excitement
in Mankato is tremendous, A large
body of armed men Immediately
started for New Ulm, as it was said
the people of the latter place re-
fused to give up the bones. Upon
their arrival it was learned that the
men, on being taken from jEthe Jail,
were stoned, II beaten, had ropes
placed around their necks and were
dragged thru the streets before be-
ing executed. The LMankato men
examined the river, wherelsa hole
was discovered with blood spattered
about. This, added to the refusal
of the citizens to accountl.for the
whereabouts of the .bodies, con-
WINGED the searchers atlthey were
in the river. Indignation lin Man
kato is intense. The two:young men
were extremely popularAas well as
respected citizens Of that town
They had both served the full tern
of enlistment in the iSecondsMinne
sofa regiment. Residents claim that
but for the assistance sent from
Mankato in 1862 New Ulm would
have been totally destroyed and all
its people massacred, and add that
this is but a poor.recompense. There
is considerable talk of sending an
other expedition, to complete the
work of the Indianslby burning the
city.

missions. Here it is that the traveller
hears that missions are only "a bluff
1t is asserted that nobody here knows
anything about missions and that the
missionary is chiefly engaged in the
profitable task of shutting up the eye
of the church at home.
Looking After Americans Abroad.
The stories one hears concerning
Europeans Gas all white people are
called in the port cities of the orient
are not pretty. The criticism of mis-
sionaries pales into insignificance be-
sides the criticism of the American
business man. In fact the two are
said to have relation. l have heard
missionaries charge that it is because
Christianity rebukes the lax moral
code of the foreign community that
the latter SO strongly condemn mis-
sions. This is rather too sweeping,
and too easy an answer to the charges
laid at the door of the missionaries.
First, it is worth finding out just
what the churches are doing for the
English-speaking settlement. There
is in Yokohama prosperous and we'll
attended Church of England, support
ed by individuals and by English bust
ness firms, who follow the old English
custom of renting a number of sittings
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-06-14

the big hybrid hotels along the Yoko-
hama bund, which neither the east nor
the west would own, which charge
Waldorf-Astoria prices for Oshkosh ac-
tommodations, where the tourists
hear the stories concerning mission
aries that are retailed around the
world as the first-hand knowledge of
those who have been on the scene and
really know
The Devil and the Cannon.
A curious story illustrates the COM
posite character of this important city
and shows, not only the commingling
of the old and the new here, but also
the chaotic state of the Japanese
mind at present with respect to reli-
gion. Upon Yokohama's famous bluff
a rich American has built an elaborate
home, which so greatly resembles a
Buddhist temple that the Japanese
were at first angry at what they
thought to be mockery. Fearing that
for this reason the building might be
burned, the insurance companies for a
long time declined to accept it as a
risk.
At one end of the gable of this curl
Gus structure is the grinning head of
L huge wooden devil. A short dis
lance away from this particular home
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-06-14

is the residence of wealthy English
man, whose servants one day fell i'll.
They consulted the Buddhist priest
near by, who told them that their ILL
ness was caused by the malignant in
fluence of the devil on the Americans
house. 1t would be impossible for
them to recover so long as that hid
eous creature shot its baneful glances
in their direction.
Straightway the servants reported
to their employer that they must
leave. Now the servant problem is a
problem the world over, and them er-
chant viewed with CONSERVATION the
loss of his present servants and his
probable inability to replace them, for
the same reason. He urged them to
see the priest again, to consider some
other remedy, since it was impossible
to have the image removed. Whether
the Englishman saw the priest at the
same time or not does not appear in
the story.
The revised verdict was, however,
that If large cannon were placed on

A marked feature Of the present
season is the novelties which are ap-
pearing in the realm of fashion. Con-
spicuous among these novelties may
be mentioned the Japanese outline Of
the bodice, which is permitted to
stamp its popularity upon the blouse,
notably upon the lace blouse which
looks very well, indeed, under such
conditions. l would quote a capital
example made in a combination of
thick white guipure striped with lines
of black velvet ribbon over fine lace
front, and destined to be worn with a
fine lace skirt bordered with coarse
lace-a very good dress altogether.
Besides this, would observe the
addition to the lace blouse of more
ordinary detail, of braces of ribbon,
short wide sleeves of ribbon, and a
belt with sash ends of ribbon. Such
ribbon could be chine with satin
border. This needs a slim figure for
it's best success, and those who are
at all stout should trust themselves to
the simpler belts of ribbon, kid, or
leather, or striped gallon. This last is
comparatively new, and is to be met
with the buckle covered to match.
The elastic belt continues to receive
it supporters, and shines beneath the
influence of gold and silver. 1t may
also be found faced with velvet, and
only under one condition could | be
induced to recognize it's plausible
charms.
But to proceed with my list of
trifles. l comment with joy on the
continued favor shown to the lawn
and linen collar, recognizing that the
former daily assumes finer aspect
and is traced with finer stitching, no
minute details of design seeming to
be too intricate to do it service. For
the prodigal, summer blouses are
made entirely of such luxuries as this
finely embroidered lawn, costing no

Wants the Rod Restored.

The Shanghai Times editor says:
The Jail has been well administered,
but is fuller than it should be, due, l
fear, to the abolition of the cangue
and bamboo. The ordinary criminal
has no great objection to repeated
short visits to the Jail, but shrinks
from repetition of corporal punish
ment. Punishment with the bamboo
is in vogue throughout China, and
here only has it by special edict been
abolished. We deprecate the Chinese
authorities making this settlement a
field for experiment, and will press
for the reintroduction of this salu
tary method of punishment.

Yokohama This mongrel city
rs the most that many travellers
see of Japan, yet is it neither Japa-
nese nor foreign, and is spoken OF
disparagingly by everybody through
out the empire except those whose
business interests lie here. The city
is a comparatively recent creature OF
foreign trade 1t is not characteristic
cally Japanese even in its speech. The
yokohama dialect is byword
throughout Japan. Nor is the city
Chinese, though it has large colony
of pigtails. Still less can it be called
European, although its 600 European
residents make it the most foreign
city in Japan.
The Importance of Yokohama lies in
the fact that it is the first gateway
for the trade of the orient. Here the
west first touches the east 1t is in

for their employees. In a sense, this
Church of England is the center of the
social life of the community. There
is also French Roman Catholic
church, well established and success
full. For Americans there is a Union
church, which every Sunday morning
holds services in the building of one
of the Japanese congregations, and In
the evening a vesper service in the
attractive auditorium of the Dutch
Reformed girls school on the bluff.
These services are supplied by differ
ent missionaries each Sunday. An
effort is afoot on the part of American
residents here to build church for
this congregation and to call a pastor
from America, thus centering in the
church an aggressive moral force
which will be able to reach the for
eign young men of Yokohama, who
constitute the city's, greatest religious
problem.

A more acute religious problem is
indicated by ride through certain

the gable of the Englishman's house,
pointing directly at the wooden devil,
the power of the latter would be coun-
teracted. So, whoever visits Yokoha-
ma may see new brass cannon about
three feet in length and of three-inch
bore mounted on the top of modern
Englishman's residence, with its muz-
zle pointed threateningly toward the
house, of the next door neighbor. All
this, mark you, is not tale of old Ia
pan, but happening of recent
months.
Where Missionaries Are Criticised.
Perhaps the incident (for which |
myself can vouch, having seen the
cannon and the wooden devil on oppo-
site gable ends) illustrates the catho-
licity of Yokohama, yet the city is
scarcely hospitable toward Christian
missionary enterprise. 1t is perhaps

less than eight guineas; and perhaps
their charm is only discernible to the
expert, and nine women out of ten
would be as content with the linen ba-
tiste blouse, bearing hem-stitched
tucks intersected with small satin
stitched spots, and to these latter ]
confess l am much addicted, finding
they look equally well with glace
coats or cloth or serge.
There are some pretty new models
in glace coats, some taking the
straight Japanese outline and beir 6
covered with silken braid, others be-
ing in the paletot shape with a belt al
the waist and an embroidered lawn
collar round the neck, and few black
tassels on the front, and the sleeves
striking a decorative note. The most
eXtravagant form of the glace coat
however, is embroidered all over with
floss silk, and bears thickly netted
silken fringe all round it.
The three-quarter coats, fitting al
most tightly, and bearing no fullness
in the basque, are suggestive of the
Directoire period with their large but
tons and the sleeves full on the top,
but the absence of fulness on the
skirt contradicts this impression to
some extent
All the best of the new skirts are
cut on the cross, with a seam down
the center, and fitted tightly round the
hips. while their decoration is either
braid or flatly-stitched bands upon
the hem and above it. Besides this.

1t is the recognized fact in Europe
that American women are the most
extensive wearers and the keenest
critics Of the shirt-waist, and for this
reason they are constantly on the
alert for new designs in that partic-
ular article of apparel. The tailor
made shirt-waist is, like all made-to-
measure garments, distinguishable
for it's smartness of cut and fit, and
more and more are women appreciat-
ing this fact. The two strong points
in favor of the shirt-waist are the null
titude of shades and designs and
cloths in which it may be obtained,
and the comparative cheapness of this
indispensable article of dress. Freshly
laundried, what looks fresher or more
attractive than well-made, well-ftting

the lady to the right in our Illustration
above is made in the gauze cashmere,
which, being pure wool, is absolutely
unshrinkable. Other good qualities OF
the goods and which should be sought
for in a garment of this kind are the

tanned even after much wear and many

The admirable accuracy of the work

alton of the great Simplon tunnel from

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves. (

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people? =
The answer to that question explains
why remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishmen5
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are sta1ved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood ard transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing PEOPLE into strong, energetic,
fozceful mer and women.
Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
81 had never been well from child
hood and n few years ago began to
have dizzy spells. AT such times could
not walk straight. I was afraid Of
paralysis and was on the verge OF
nervous rrostration. Then neuralgia
set in and affected the side of my face
The pains in my forehead were excru-
ciating and my heart panied me so that
my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart
I tried several different kinds of treat
ment but they did me no good.
"One day my son brought me some OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and I found
that they strengthened my nerves. I
took several boxes and felt better in
every way. There were no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left me and have
been well woman ever since"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in anemia, rheumatism, after effects of
the grip and fevers and in sick head
aches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
