new RACE is PREDICTED
MRS ANNIE BESANT CAN SEE
THINGS; WHAT'S A COMING.
Nervous Rush of the People Is the
Cause of Madnes and Hysteria;
the Fast Pace.

Minneapolis, Aug. lS.--A new race,
upon the earth, according to the opin
ion of Mrs. Annie Besant, theosophist,
who spoke on "The Coming Race and
the Coming Christi at the Unitarian
church on Monday night.
According to Mrs. Desant's theory,
the new race is to be largely nerves,
and the fine development of the nerv-
ons organization in the race of today
is the surest indication Of the ap.
proach of the new one.
"NIen rush today" she says, "where
centuries ago they walked slowly. Sci
ence comes to dead wall because
matter is too fine for its instruments.
Finer apparatus is wanted and the
finer instruments are to be found in
yourselves. The more delicate the
nervous system the better the view
of newer realms.
"Notice the signs about us. Nervous
diseases are driving the Teutons into
madness. Hysteria is now common.
We are building more and more insane
asylums. 1t is because in the transi-
ton, organism and environment are
not adopted. Presently we shall have
to leave these cities of noise. Either
we shall have to build garden cities
TO rour children or they will die be-
fore their prime.
"Noise may be good for some peo-
Iple-those who are so little alive that
they can oily be kept awake by noise,
but the people who are awake on their
own account are developed so that noise
is destructive. We already have many
of the sixth family among us. Con.
dtions must be made to fit them.'
And whe nthe new race, is born.
Christ will come again, she believes.
"He will come unheralded and unrec-
ognized How long he will stay no
one can foretell. But evolution is not
over. There is an unfolding possibil-
ity before the race"

GUT UP BY THE CARS.
GUST AMUNDSON RUN OVER BY
TRAIN NEAR MADELIA.

From Mondays Daily.
Gust Amundson was ground under
the wheels of gravel train two miles
west of Madelia at $3.50 o'clock Sun
day morning. He was discovered by
the engineer lying on the track, but
the train could not be stopped in time
to prevent his being run over. Both
legs were cut off, one arm and hip
broken and number of bruises on his
head and face. The man was still
alive when picked up by the train
crew. He was brought to Madelia and
died in a doctors office there at about
eight o'clock.
May Have Been Assaulted BY Tramps
Mr.. Amundson was in Mankato
Saturday afternoon and departed for
Madelia on one of the late trains. He
was accompanied to the depot by An
drew Rudberg, relative.
1t is supposed that Amundson left
the train at Madelia and started to
walk down the track to the home of
his cousin, Nels Uleberg, by whom he
was employed.
There is a story in Madelia that
Amundson was assaulted by tramps
rendered unconscious and his body left
on the track. 1t is known that when
Amundson departed from Mankato he
had several dollars in his pocket
When his clothing was searched after
the accident but a few cents were
found.

THE OILED ROADWAY EXPERIMENT.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: Los Angeles,
with more oiled roads than any other
city in America, has decided to aban-
don the experiment of natural soil oiled
roadway, as expensive and unsatisfac-
tory After a through investigation
of the conditions, the road inspector
has reported that the oiled roadway
ms extravagant and wasteful and does
not serve the purpose intended.
Other cities through the country that
have taken more or less kindly to the
use of oil for roadways will be inter-
ested in watching the efforts now being
made by the Los Angeles authorities to
discover something that will take its
place. The city authorities have de-
cided to discontinue the use of oil
on the streets within two miles of
the business center of the city, and
to improve those streets under new
specifications. The idea is to provide
a pavement that will be as lasting, yet
not so expensive, as asphalt. What this
will be has not been determined. Elk.
periments have shown that while oil
keeps down the dust, the petroleum
soon evaporates, and the residum has
no binding power, such as is necessary
to secure permanent results common
surate with the cost. One of the big
problems facing every city is the dis
covery of some kind of material for
road building that will withstand au-
tomobile traffic and still capable of be-
ing built at reasonable cost.

According to an estimate by NJ R.
Campbell of the United States geo.
logical survey, the original coal sup
ply of Illinois when mining began
was 240,OOO,OOO,OOO short tons, all BIZ
luminous and contained within to.
tai area of $4,000 square miles. The
total production of the state at the
close of 1908, so far as records are
obtainable, amounted to 93,527 ,999
tons, which, with half a ton wasted
for every ton mined, is equivalent to
total exhaustion of l,040,0O0,00C
short tons, or about 0.4 per cent OF
the total estimated supply. The pro-
duction of coal in Illinois in 1908 was
about seven per cent of the aggregate
production to the close of that year
and the quantity of coal estimated as
still remaining in the ground in s..
600 times the production of 1908, OF
about $500 times the exhaustion repre-
scented by that production.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Evidence of the popular interest in
the anti consumption crusade is given
in statement made today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, to the
effect that during the year ending
Aug. 81, nearly 100000 people have
|attended tuberculosis exhibitions in
various parts of the country.
Besides the three travelling tubercu-
losis exhibitions of the National Asso.
citation for the Study and Prevention
IOf tuberculosis, there are twenty
eight exhibits of this kind in various
parts of the country. Four years ago
There were only three such displays
in the entire country.
Over 100000 people have attended
the three travelling exhibits of the
National Association for the Study
land Prevention of tuberculosis, which
have visited ten different states and
territories during the year just closed
The three exhibits are now stored for
the summer months.
The southern exhibit has been shown
lin Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and
Georgia in ten different cities and has
been viewed by about 100000 people,
Thousands of others have been reached
lby the literature and posters distrib-
|uted, so that the number of people
who have been ducated directly or
indirectly about tuberculosis by this
exhibit is considerably over 100000.
The western exhibit of the national
association has worked during the past
year mainly in Kansas, Nebraska and
Northern Missouri. In all, fifteen cities
have been reached and over 10000 per-
sons have visited the exhibit.
In Porto Rico, the Spanish Exhibit
|of the national association, the first of
it's kind, has met with decided success.
Twenty-Five cities, including about
one third of all the towns in the
island, were visited and over 100000
people viewed the exhibit. The poor
transit facilities in the island made it
necessary to haul the exhibit from
place to place on ox-carts, like a
travelling country circus.
AS direct result of these exhibi.
ton campaigns, laws relating to the
anti tuberculosis campaign have been
passed in Tennessee, Florida, Nebraska,
Kansas and Porto Rico. In the latter
territory, comprehensive govern
mental campaign against tuberculosis
has been started. COOS iatiii Ear

llama JIM" That is what his
friends call the venerable secretary
of agriculture, James Wilson, who is
today celebrating her seventy fourth
birthday. When he resigns next year,
as it is reported he will, the record
for holding cabinet job will belong
to him. He has served in the cabinets
of Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and
was member of the Mckinley ad-
ministration from its start, having been
confirmed March 5, 1897 More than
twelve years as the "czar of agricul-
ture" has made his name household
word throughout America.
James Wilson, who now claims Iowa
as his home, was born in Scotland,
within a few miles of the birthplace
of Robert Burns, just seventy-four
years ago today. He came to America
when he was seventeen years old,
stopped with his parents a while in
Connecticut, and removed to his pres
ent home in Tama county, Iowa, in
1855. He has always been an enthusi-
been actively concerned in all legisla-
tion affecting agricultural interests.
He was that as a member OF the Iowa
legislature, in which he served sew
eral terms, and continued so as a
member of congress, in which he
served three terms as member of
the house. He served on the Iowa
railway commission four years, and
for six years before he accepted a
place in President McKinley's cabi-
net, was director of the agricultural
experiment station at the Iowa Agri-
cultural college at Ames.
Mr.. Wilson has all of the Scotch
mans cleavage to the practical things
of well being and all of the Caledo-
MANS enthusiasm over the triumph
of shrewdly directed industry. He is
one of the most interesting men who
ever held office in the government.
Simple and unaffected in converse
ton, he has store of experience and
ripe, fertile memory for practical
things worth remembering, which
combine to convince all who know
him of staunch superiority of mind
and character devoted to the general
welfare exceedingly scarce among men
who hold high political office.
His department is indeed less in
oculated with partisan bias than any
in the government. There are not
few democrats who hold responsible
positions in the department, but Mr..
Wilson talks to them about their work
and not about their politics. 1t is
said that he does not know the party
affiliations of dozen men under him.
Some of his most jealous supporters
are democratic members of congress.
While "Tama JIM" like Bobby
Burns cotter, is ready to hymn his
Creators praise for generous sun
shine and vitalizing rains and for the
energy and intelligence of American
farmers, he takes a natural pride in
the widespread, fruitful aid given by
the department of agriculture in vast
ly diversified directions, which have
made many farm, but recently neg
lected as scarcely worth the labor
given it, bloom and ripen into such
varied harvests as to rejoice the heart
of it's owner.
