Little Holland, with its 100000 peo-
pie living safely behind their wave
washed dikes, is about to make a new
conquest from its old enemy, the ocean.
Already Dutch engineers have begun

Il Central Union church is shortly to
Be equipped with an instrument called
the ACQUISITION, by which those who
have not heard sermon for years
NAV come again under the preaching
of the gospel, and hear the ministry
of the word whether in song or SER
mon.
The appliance is in effect a practical
combination of the microphone and the
telephone so arranged that it can be
made to minister to any in the con-
gregation who may need it.
The appliance consists of a receiver
placed near the preaching desk, and it
may be so placed that it will be un-
observable from the congregation and
inconspicuous from any point of view.
From this wires can be run to any
part of the church, connecting with
small appliances to be placed to the
ear of the hearer. These can be made
in the form of various devices, as of
Iorgnettes or of small ear trumpet,
or like the small ear pieces sometimes
used on telephones, so that they can
be held in the hand entirely unobserv-
able by others.
BY means of this the entire SER

for Years May Do So.

vice can be heard by persons hard of
hearing, or deaf. 1t is not necessary
that the sermon or the spoken word
or any part of the service should be
spoken into the receiver. 1t is suffi-
cient that it is near the preaching desk
or pulpit.
The plan is to install the appliance
so that any member of the congrega-
ton who desires it can have a wire
run to his pew and al ear piece put
in place. In addition. pews or sittings
in different parts of the church will
be connected up so that strangers who
may need this aid may have it.
The appliance has been ordered by
the church from the Hutchison Acous-
ticon Company of New York, and it is
expected to arrive here this week CT
next and will be installed at once. 1t
is expected to be ready for use before
Christmas.
Theodore Richards says he saw it in
use in a number of churches in the
East, where it was giving very great
satisfaction.
1t may be also that the usefulness
of this appliance may be extended, by
connecting it with houses at a dis
tanoe, so that those who are unable
to attend the service by reason of
sickness or invalidism may still enjoy
fhe service.

NOVEL CHARGE Is THIS
Blame Cleaning Elevators for Spread
Of Mustard.

st. Peter, July l6.-Farmers in Ka-
sofa township have brought a novel
charge against the big cleaning eleva-
tors at Kasota. They declare that the
elevators are responsible for the spread
of wild mustard, and there is posi-
bility that lawsuit will grow out of
the trouble.
Hubbard & Palmer of Mankato and
the Peavey Elevator company of Min
neapolis operate immense cleaning
houses at Kasota, in which they clean
wheat and other grains shipped in from
a long line of elevators in the western
part of Minnesota and South Dakota.
A short time ago Sage Brothers OF
Mountain Lake purchased site for a
third and the announcement of their
plans brought matters to focus.
Hiram Hugunin, farmer who owns
some thirty or forty acres of land abut-
ting the Hubbard & Palmer property,
is the chief complainant He declares
that wild mustard seeds, which are sep
arated from the grain, lodge in his
fields, and asserts that it is impossible
to arrest the spread of the weed. They
have become such nuisance this sum-
mer that he estimates they will de-
crease his yield fully 40 per cent.
When Mr.. Hugunin learned of the
purchase made by Sage Brothers he en-
tered vigorous protest, and he is
thinking very seriously of taking his
grievance into the courts. Should he
do so he will ask for an injunction re-
straining the Mountain Lake men from
continuing with the erection of their
elevator and will aso institute pro-
ceedings to recover damages from Hub
bard & Palmer. ..,
Mr.. Palmer stated today that the first
intimation he had of the complaints was
what he saw in the Minneapolis news
papers. He said that it would be impos-
sible to spread the mustard seed as the
seed is kept confined in the cleaning
house and is not blown out over the
fields. All foul seed is done away with
so that it cannot do any harm to sur
rounding fields.

THE COAL SITUATION.

at is very generally agreed among
coal experts that the anthracite de-
poslLs in the United States will have
been completely exhausted long be-
fore the close of the present century,

Commercial The highest estimate of
the extent of these deposits available
for mining in 1901 was 4,765,2l8,75O
tons-and there have been no discov-
cries of new deposits since then; the
drain on them is heavy and steady
and always increasing; in 1905 for in

The remains arrived here Thursday

Emil SchOyen Seriously In
jured Last Night.
LEFT THIGH BONE BROKEN.
Machine Struck Buggy on the st.
Peter Road; Sudden Shock Threw
Him to the Ground.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily
Emil Schoyen, assistant cashier of
the NEankato State bank, was the UNI
fortunate victim of bad accident that
occurred at about 1870 O'Clock last
evening. He was enjoying an auto
mobile ride with w. r. Crandall in
the latter's automobile, on the road
past where the old Tourtellotte hospi-
| tai stood, north of the Front street
hill. 1t was their intention to 90 as
far as the top of the hill south of the
railway crossing and then turn around
and come back.
| As the Ford machine in which they
were riding neared the top of the
hill, buggy suddenly doomed up Just
ahead of them out of the darkness.
They had lights on, but either the
street light ahead of them blinded
them or dust or haze obscured their
buggy, which was standing in the
road empty. Mr.. Crandall turned his
machine sharply to the left in try
ing to avoid collision, but it was too
late, and his right front wheel lock-.
ed with the left hind wheel of the
buggy, tearing the buggy wheel off.
The locking of the wheels turned the
front of the automobile suddenly to
the right, and Mr.. Schoyen, who had
been sitting enjoying the ride with
folded arms, became unbalanced and
was thrown or fell out. He struck
upon the roadbed upon the left side of
his face, and also sustained a fracture
of the left thigh bone. a little below
the hip. The automobile was wrench
ed and some of the rods bent or brok
en-, and one of the lamps was smashed.
Mr.. Crandall at once assisted Mr..
Schoyen into the machine and convey
ed him to his home, where two ply
sicians reduced the fracture Mr.
Schoyen suffered considerable pain last
night and today, and will be confined
to his bed for several weeks.
The buggy was one belonging to
Phillips g. Stevens, and driven by Mr.
Sontag, who had gotten out and was
standing beside the road. The horse
did not run away, but the buggy, be-
ing of light construction, was badly
wrecked. tE,
Messrs. Crandall and Schoyen state
that they were not going over eight or
ten miles an hour. Neither of them
saw the buggy, and if it had been
moving it could have been cleared
easily. Mr.. Crandall feels badly about
the misfortune that befell Mr..
Schoyen, but no one attaches any
blame to anybody. 1t was one of those
accidents that will happen even when
the greatest care is used, and Mr..
Crandall has the reputation of being a

FILINGS AS CASS LAKE.
One Hundred Men and Women Line
Up Before Land Office.

Cass Lake, July l3.-Over 100 men
and women arrived on Thursdays train
to make filings at the United States
land office yesterday on public lands and
stone and timber claims situated in
Township l53, Ranges 25 and 26. After
the arrival there was great deal of
excitement among those who came in
who had been on the land for some
three or four years and who had made
quite extensive improvements and those
who had been in line for some weeks
in front of the land office building.
The excitement among some of them
kept up all night, and when the outside
to the land office building was opened
this morning at seven o'clock for the in
tending filers to get in line and wait
until the opening at nine o'clock those
who had stood in line for days and days
saw the determination of the actual
settlers and all fell out of the chase
with the exception of four who forced
their way in and made filings.
There were few state swamp claims
filed on with contest in almost every
instance. The officials handled the tilers
in one and onelhalf minutes each.
