They Return Thanks

The trustees of the Evangelical
church wish to thank their friends OF
Audubon who have so literally re-
sponded, to the solicitation of their re-
preventative Mr.. j. w. Richards. Since
this church never calls upon the citi-
zens to eat supper with them, nor do
we use any of the modern methods of
raising moneys, and believing you
all recognize our equal rights in the
city with the other churches, we there
fore prefer the method used in giving
the citizens an opportunity ofshowing
their interest in us as church. And
you certainly have shown your good
will by contributing nearly fifty dol
lars. Many thanks.

preservation bears witness. This
countv, with its wealth and intelli-
gence, could easily organize and
maintain an Archaeological Society,
as is done in numerous poorer coun-
ties than ours, notably in the state
of Wisconsin. If such an organiza-
tion could procure a suitable de-
pository at the county seat, and col
lect there from all parts Of the
county the many stray and hardly
appreciated finds that now are
knocking around in many a farm
stead, l venture to predict that in
ten years Kandiyohi county would
possess one of the best collections
in the West. When once a body of
responsible men are back of such a
depository, then many who have
and appreciate good collections
would be glad of the opportunity
of placing theirs own finds in trust
among the collections of the Socie-
ty, and thus great help and stim-
illus would be given to all to furth-
er conserve whatever bears upon
and enhances the interesting and in
structive past of our beautiful do

KILLED IN ACCIDENT.
Funeral Of George D. Johnson.
Who Found n IS Death at
MINNEAPOLIS.

The funeral of George D. john
son Of White6eld, who was killed
in Minneapolis a week ago yester
day, occurred Sunday afternoon. in
termetn being made at Tripolis,
Rev. B. e. Walters officiating. A
large number of friends followed
the remains to the grave, and it is
estimated that there were about IS
teams in the funeral procession.
johnson was killed while assist
ing in tearing down an old livery
stable which was to give place to
a vaudeville theater. A part of
the roof and wall collapsed and out
of the seventeen men employed in
wrecking the building two were
killed and number severely in
jured. Johnson's remains were
brough to Willmar last Wednesday
and after having been prepared for
burial at the undertaking rooms of
l. c. Olson. were removed to the
home Of his father, Edward D.
johnson, in White6e|d.
Some time ago johnson proved
up on homestead in North Dakota
and he had planned to spend a year
working before settling down on
his new farm. He was a young
man, only "a, and his sad and un-
timely death is mourned by a large
circle of friends, besides his father
and mother, several brothers and
one sister.

This mound site on the northwest
side of Green Lake is washed on its
northeast by the lake itself, and on
the northwest by the Grow river
in the period treated Of, then a
much larger and deeper stream
than now. Whether the fires kin
died on these summit hearths were
for incarceration of some certain
dead; or were connected with hello
latry; or for the preparation of
food at certain tribal gatherings
and feastings; or whether these
hearths pertain to earthen huts.
whose walls caving in after aband-
onment, form now the superincum-
bent soil; or the flames mounting
from these bare SUBMITS were bea-
cons or signal fires flashing their
messages over miles Of lake and
prairie care left an open question.
But there remains one theory. a
most grim and forbidding one, but
in whose favor l am sorry to say
there is growing accumulation of
circumstantial evidence that
is that many of these hearth mounds
mark the site where prisoners
taken in conflict, or the aged and
useless or the tribal criminals, were
put to death thru the agonizing
throes of a lingering fire torture,
whose sickening details are all too
suggestive Of the innate savagery
of prehistoric man.
On the shores of Lake Calhoun
once existed pottery kilns where
many fine specimens in a fragment
airy state attest the keramic skill of
the Mound Builder. One of the
finest collections of these frag.
ments, arranged with taste and
archaeological discrimination by
their collector, is owned by DR..
Newman of New London. The doc
tor has also a collection Of battle
axes and several finds in copper, all
valuable as greatly aiding in a bet
ter understanding Of the past his.
tory of the county.
On the property of J. M. Spicer
is kiln which has all the indica-
tions of some day, when thoroly ex.
cavated, adding a worthy quota to
prehistoric keramics.
But we have not time to go into
further detail of the many spots
archeologically rich within the
borders of our county. Suffice it
to say that there are many evil
dences thru out its length and
breadth that it's treasures of Van
ished Race scattered everywhere,

ing questions. If the expert is not quick at repartee and ingenious in
 the manufacture of bon mots he has
 no chance, for the public will take his embarrassment for ignorance. for getting that fool may always ask questions which wise man cannot answer. On the other hand, many a scamp goes unpunisked and many an innocent man goes to felon's cell because some "expert" gave it as his opinion that this or that or such an other thing could not have happened normally from the facts at hand. Hu- man experience has taught man that nothing in life is surprising. and but little is impossible. and that the ex. pert. being human, too, is quite as liable to err as the ignoramus. In stead of being the basis for conclu. sion in any criminal case. expert tes- timony ought to be recognized as the very weakest offered and its deci

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

The lawyers and doctors of New | York state are attempting to work 1 out between them some sort of feas- ible plan by which the giving of med, ical expert testimony in trials before the courts of that state may be reg ulated The learned gentlemen of both professions agree that during the process of trying marry Thaw. and also during the recent trials of other criminals in New York, the dignity of the medical profession was dragged in the mire anu its members made an obejct of ridicule by the so-called "expe~t" testimony given before the courts.
 Expert testimony has been called into question by many great lawyers from the days of Coke and Black stone. opinion is not evidence says the law, and opinion may widely diff fer, even though it be drawn from preciely the same facts h the old days, when the common law reigned in American courts, the testimony Of medical experts and handwriting er perts and experts in bricklaying or cheeseparing was looked upon with degree of caution Courts advised juries not to give too great weight to the opinion of men whose judgment, however well directed by experience and study, was only fallible
 But now we have experts on every subject under the sun, and they are called into court, a very cloud of witnesses, whose chief aim and best endeavor seems, generally speaking only to cloud the issue more. Al least that is what frequently occurs Each party to hugatlon attempts to call the greatest number and the most expensive experts, and invaria bly the wise men chosen by the one side find a widely different conclu sion upon the subject they are asked to testify about from that of the sa wants furnished by the other side The lawyers who have dragged thu experts" into court under the claiu that they are qualified to know wha
 they are talking about, do not hesi
 tate to badger and brow-beat then in the effort to make them out idiots
 Many an able surgeon or specialist
 with a splendid reputation for hi
 science when he entered the witness
 chair, has left it a ruined man be
 cause he could not stand up unde
