From Saturdays Daily.
Mark Nichols was this morning
found dead in little house not far from
the farm residence of former county COM
missioner, Chales Graf, several miles
northeast of this city. Nichols and his
brother, Ira, were living in the house,
''batching it,, and working for farmers
in the neighborhood, and this morn
ing John Gerlach went to the house to
hire both of the brothers to shock corn
for him. He found Mark lying fiat on the
floor with pillow under his head, dead.
Ira Nichols was found to be so drunk
that he did not realize that his brother
was dead, but insisted that he was
still alive.
Coroner Kennedy Notified.
Mr.. Gerlich notified coroner Kennedy,
and the latter, accompanied by Walter
Daniels, drove out to the Graf farm
and viewed the remains. Then he re-
turned them over to John Klein Co.,
who brought them to Mankato and
placed them in the undertaking room.
The cause of death is not known to
a certainty but is supposed to be
heart failure due to alcoholism. There
is no suspicion that the death was
due to other than natural causes, al
though there is severe bruise or mark

waiting to carry the president and
the visitig governors to the Auditorium
where the Lakes to-the-Gulf Deep Wa
ter association will be in session. Dis
tinguished delegates from all parts of
the central West will be assembled in
convention and will be addressed by the
president
1t is hoped that the visit of the
president to Memphis will result in
arousing his interest in the purpose
of the convention-to create a naviga-
BILE waterway l,5O0 miles long from Chi
cago to New Orleans, providing four
teen foot stage the year round. The
first, forty mile section of the Chicago
drainage canal has been practically
completed at cost of over $5O,OOO,0OO
and plans have been made for second
divisions from Joliet to st. Louis. The
convention will probably decide to ask
a government appropriation of $lO,OOO,-
600, a year for five years to carry on
the work.
His Hunting Trip.
From Memphis the president will
go on a hunting trip in the semi-tro-
picah. swamp country in northeast
Louisiana. According to the present pro-.
gram he will remain in the cane brak-
es, hunting bear and other game, for
seventeen days. During the time he is
in camp he will communicate as lit
tie as possible with the outside world.
At the close of the camping expedi-
ton the president will speak at Vicks-
burg, Miss. At Vicksburg, it is reported
the president will be presented with a
real live Teddy bear, captured in Mis-
sissippi recently. The cub is about
three months old and the owner is
said to be determined to present it
to the president. ,... q

told the commander of the troop that
he would await 1.-The general there.

porch in charge of two sentinels. Sud

twigs. and scattered line of horse
men came riding through the wood.
My guards darted away. aud when the
newcomers reached me the officer com
manding them was the captain of my

My general had received orders to
push on, which he had done without
awaiting my return. ] told him that
my guards had been awaiting the COM

flow, and the result will be decidedly
unpleasant.
Soda used in the laundry should be
dissolved before the garments to be
washed are placed In the tub. Yellow
stains, which soon form holes, are
caused by soda touching wet linen.
Saucepans should be kept clean on
the outside as well as inside. To pre-
vent the smoke from sticking rub the
outside of new saucepan with fat
before placing 1t on the stove. Wash
with hot water and soda.
If possible leave a wet umbrella open
to dry so that the silk will not rot or
crease. If it cannot be left open, turn
1t upside down, so that the moisture
will not collect at the ferrule end and
so rot the silk while evaporating.
The colored frock or blouse that has

quantity to be used to make the gar

she turned pale. But l smiled at her
to reassure her. She was pretty, so
far as country girl of her station

She gradually gained confidence and

cuses to detan me- 1t did not occur to
me that there was any purpose in this
except to enjoy my company. l have
seen country girls fall in love with

the girl seemed to be doing the same
with me.
There was no one In the house except
the girl and an old woman who kept
herself In one of the rooms. The girl
held me till Just before dark. Then

she said if l would wait till she could
find the cow she would ill my canteen

went away. I waited nearly half an
hour and was about to leave without
a goodby or the milk when heard a
mans voice order me to throw up my
hands. I was sitting on the porch be-

carbine was resting against chair. l

Have Come to Stay.
"How do you ever stop a conversa-
ton with girl over the telephoneT
asked worried young man the other
day. "Grace y. called me up last
evening to tell me that she had heard
from somebody l was interested in,
and then we talked along in desul-
tory way, while l was wondering how
I was ever going to get into my dress
suit and call for Ethel in time for the
opera, and Ethel dotes on the over
ture. didn't think 1t was my place to
say 'goodby,' and Grace evidently had
nothing pressing on hand and felt So
ciable, and there l was. At last she
seemed to reflect that l might have
something to do besides gossip with
her and she rang off, but l was fifteen
minutes late at Ethels. The matter
was not made better with her when
explained that l had been detained by
Grace at the telephone.
1t is the place of the young lady to
stop the conversation. The younger
should always wait for the elder Of
two men or two women to end it.
And beware how you call the name
of your unseen friend until you are
sure. The other day young man re-
sponded to a ring and, after mo-
ment's talk, exclaimed, How good in
you, Emma, to call me up!" Coldly
came the rejoinder, This is not EN-
ma; 1t is Gertrude" Strained relations
marked the rest of the interview
The undignified Hello seems to
have come to stay. Nothing better has
been proposed in place of it, but when
we can substitute "Good morning" or

Hints For Church and Quiet Home
Ceremonies.
When a bride is married in a travel
ing dress, the number of bridesmaids
should be limited to one.
If the bride goes away on her we'd
ding journey right from the church,
friends do not expect to be invited to
the reception.
Only the nearest relatives and few
intimate friends receive invitations to
the reception if 1t is to be small one.
The bridal bouquet may be dispensed
with and prayer book carried or not,
as desired.
There Is no rule against either bride
or bridesmaid carrying bouquet.
Whether she does or not Is merely a
matter of personal inclination on her
part.
The custom of proposing healths at
the wedding breakfast or tea has al
most died out. In any case only those
of the bride, bridegroom and brides
maids are proposed.
The bride provides her trousseau and
her presents to the bridegroom. These
are her only expenses.

Element, which it will be as soon as

made, there will be a rush rivaling any
opening. The method Of procedure
will be a. follows: The land will first
be advertised for the required thirty
days, after which time the squatters
on the quarters will have ninety days
to file. The land in many cases is oc-
cupied by as many as three squatters
and the fight which will ensue will
be interesting and will take up a great
deal of the time Of the officials. The
land was surveyed over three years
ago., but a delay in preparing the plats
has made an official opening impossi-
BILE. The plats were received Tuesday.
