and has been doing everything posi-
BILE to bring about his release Nor
den says that he found, NEAR the
scene of the murder, a black coat but
ton. Subsequently. when Jacob Mar
tin was in jail as Witness. he noted
that the coat he wore had similar but
tons. He cut off one of the buttons
and it was exhibited yesterday, with
the button found at the scene of the
murder as exactly similar. This is an
other link, which, it Is claimed, points
toward Martin and away from Till.
1t is also stated, on the word of
Charles Gunkle, of Cass county. that
Miller worked for him before going to
Pembina county. with two men known
as Joseph Schwartz and Little Joe"
He heard them threaten to kill Miller
for the alleged taking of money from

Gunkel's employ. 1t is claimed that
these two men were seen in Pembina

appeared shortly afterward. This is
another fact which is said to point to
Till's innocence and the guilt of other
parties.

his terrible struggles for freedom, was

being taken to court before Judge

with an ACCOMPLISHMENT to be good in
the future, the prisoner was released.
Dick Woods, Sioux Falls, s. D., dis
guised as Rochild Vandergan, was ar
rested on suspicion of being suspected.
Woods denied that he was the man
wanted. This being bargain day,
Judge Church allowed him to pay a
fine of 81 and depart.

ton of temperance ideas is in this
order: the people are informed, con-

ment. The third and fourth of these
suggestions Immediately concern US.
The third reads: Teaching the chill
dren in Sabbath and public schools

hygiene of total abstinence. The
fourth: Offering prizes in these
schools for essays on different as
poets of the subject.

Controlling the Corporations.

me Boston Herald discusses Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message on the coal
end oil lands in which he saws that
laws forbidding combination are fail
ures and that what is needed Is not
prohibition, but supervision and con
troll TO prevent the evils from which
We now suffer. But the Herald insists
that this can not be accomplished as
long as we permit the present tariff.
It says
SO long as the iron and steel in
dustry is protected by a duty which
enables II to control absolutely the
domestic market, while exporting last
year s172,565.558 worth Of it's product.
much Of which was sold in foreign
markets a lower prices than were
charged at home, how can the govern
ment, through any supervision and
control prevent the evils Of monopoly
while giving the public the advantage
or combination? The same thing is
true Of the manufacturers Of woolens.
the refiners CT salt and sugar and. to a
considerable extent, the producers of
coal These and a hundred other com
binations or corporations are simply
doing what the tariff was enacted to
enable them to do, in charging arti-
hoially high prices for their products.

Imagination and Disease.

The New York World discusses the
case Of Mrs. Hennessey, of that city,
who, in the dark, drank from bottle
Of carbolic acid as she thought. 1t
turned out that there was q very mild
solution Of it in the bottle, not enough
to hurt her, though 1t shriveled her
mouth. But she would not listen to
any assurance of the physician. He
then treated her for the poison, all the
time telling her there was not the
slightest danger. But she insisted that
she was poisined and she died. The
World goes on to say:
She was not killed by carbolic acid.
The doctor reported that that was i'm
possible. What did kill her was her
imagination. The effect of magma
ton in almost all cases of sickness Is
just beginning to be adequately recog-
nized. man can not break his leg by
the most active use of his Imagination,
but in fevers, mental troubles, and
even digestive and lung ailments the
power of the imagination is greater
than the effect Of medicinal drugs. In
such cases people die or get we'll great
ly they themselves decire.
Faith cures, healing by Inspiration,
health by will power and the like, are
often more substantial remedies than
the public thinks, simply by reason
of the power of imagination over the
body.

Another Triumph of Art.

a young New York artist says that
he was in Vermont on a sketching trip
one summer. One day while strolling
along a pretty lane he overlook a par
ticularly picturesque little fellow who
was sauntering along with fishing
pole on his shoulder and a string of
small fish in his hand. He looked so
much the part OF the small country boy
Of poetry and fiction that the artist de-
cided he would like TO make a sketch
of him. and after considerable negotia-
ton this was arranged for, the lad in
accordance with directions, perching
himself on a rail fence. AS the artist
worked away at his sketch an old
countryman came down the lane and
stood looking over his shoulder.

claimed admiringly.
