DOING A GREAT WORK.
Missionary Activities of American Sum
day School Union for Past 28 Months.

The following Is brief summary of
twenty-eight months work of the
American Sunday School Union in this
section: Sunday schools organized l3,
with $50 teachers and scholars; Sunday
schools visited or otherwise aided SO,
with 1925 teachers and scholars; visit
ed at homes 1902; miles travelled l0,-
230; distributed 347 Bibles and 46S
Testaments; professed conversions13S;
amount OF sales from periodicals, books,
Bibles and Testaments, 1915 81,
In the various communities the neigh
boring pastors have been good to assist
in this work, some of the schools are
having regular preaching, and others
have preaching a part of the time. To
the average reader these cold facts and
figures do not mean much, but re-
member that many young lives are
being influenced for useful career, and
the only religious paper found in a
great many of these homes, is the one
the children get at Sunday school.
On December 3Oth, 1906, we dedicated,
free of debt, the Haywood Memorial M.
E. church at Wishaw, which is an out
growth of one Sunday school.
To all friends of the American S. S.
Union, 1 might say, prefer to call
these your schools and work, for another
could take my place but not unless the
work is supported.

Kidnaper Anna Gave the
officer IA Fierce Battle.
SHE WAS CAUGHT AT FOLEY
Woman Who Escaped From the st
Cloud RefOrmatOry Returned to
Institution Yesterday.

Foley, Oct. l6.-After desperate
struggle with Constable Callahan of
Foley, Mimi, Anna Ustroski Jarmuzek,
the Minneapolis kidnaper who es-
capped from the st. Cloud reformatOry
on Monday afternoon, was arrested
yesterday and returned to the refor-
matory.
The woman was found in Great
Northern train at Foley yesterday at
ternoon and gave the officers hard
tussle before he was able to over
come her by superior strength She
was placed in the Foley Jail until
+. Ii. Whitney of the reformatory
came to take her back to st. Cloud
last night.
The young woman is said to have
displayed considerable cleverness in her
escape from the reformatory and her
attempts to escape detection after
wards. The insanity theory which was
advanced for Il time in her favor
is now practically dispelled.
The woman did not go directly to
the train after efiecting her escape
from the reformatory. She is believed
to have spent Monday night in the
outskirts of ST. Cloud. Where she
slept no one has yet been able to dis
cover. Yesterday she walked out in
to the country several miles in order
not to be arrested should she take a
train at the main depot station.
She boarded the train at small
station and was not discovered until
the constable at Foley searched the
train for her. He had almost given
up the hunt when he decided to look
into the retiring rooms. The wOmen's
rooms were opened first, but no trace
of her was found. Then the consta-
bic happened to look into the mems
room in one car and found the woman
hiding behind the door.
When she realized that she was
identified she made a spring for the
door and attempted to run past the
officer. He grappled with her and
was forced to struggle fiercely with
her before he could suppress her. She
scratched him several times across the
face and hands before he finally over
powered her.
The woman had changed her calico
dress. which she wore ut the reforma-
tory for green silk dress she took
with her from the institution.
She refused to make any statement
to the officers at Foley as to her
reasons for running away from the
reformatOry or as to her method of
making her escape.
After the girl was taken back to the
reformatory last evening considerable
interest was manifest as to what
punishment would be given her for
running away. 1t was announced by
the officials that they had come to no
conclusion on the subject. and they
may recommend that she be sent to
the penitentiary for time.

From Fridav's Daily.
Charles Schwartz, a well known lie
Sueur county farmer, is lying at the
point of death at his home in Kasota
township, three miles east of this city,
says The st. Peter Herald. He took a
swallow of carbolic acid by mistake
and it is miracle that the poison did
terday afternoon he was still alive
.but his condition is regarded as very
critical and he is not out of danger.
Mr.. Schwartz took the draught that
may prove fatal late Wednesday af-
ternoon, installing bottle contain
ing the acid for one of brandy. He
had not been feeling well during the
day and went to the house shortly
after five o'clock. Believing that a
drink of brandy would help him, he
went to the pantry and took the bot
tie he supposed contained the stimu-
liant.
Neglecting to glance at its label
he raised the bottle to his lips and
poured portion of it's contents down
his throat. 1t took effect instantly
and Mr.. Schwartz soon relapsed into
insensibility, remaining unconscious
until four o'clock yesterday morning.
As soon as possible after the acct
dent DR.. G. w. Mcintyre was sum-
moned, but when he arrived the pa
TENTS throat was so badly burned
and swollen that it was difficult to
do anything to alleviate his suffer
ing.
Early yesterday morning, however,
Mr.. Schwartz's vitality asserted itself,
and he awoke to realization of his
surroundings. He could not talk and
was very weak, and it will be fully a
day before there can be any certainty
of his recovery.
His daughters in this city and Man
kato were advised to the accident Wed
nesday evening and they have gone to
the family home.
