CHILD RESTORED TO LIFE.
Doctor Breathed His Own Breath Into
Child's Lungs

st. Louis, Nov. l6.-That Margaret
Dwyer, eighteen months old, was re-
stored to life after she had ceased to
breathe is believed by her parents, DIR.
Joseph Hardy and the proprietors OF
Herman Bros drug store. .a
The restoration was effected after
the child had swallowed a silver top
ped pepperbox this morning and had
choked seemingly to death. The
breathing of his own breath into the
child's lungs, followed by artificial res
piration, brought the child back to life.
When DR.. Hardy reached the child it
to be dead. He placed a
piece of gauze over the child's mouth,
closed its nostrils with his fingers and
forced his own breath into its mouth.
He continued this until faint color
appeared in the child's cheeks. Then
the doctor began the articfieial respira-
ton measures, which continued for an
hour. And then-the child stirred. It's
heart beat, and it was alive.
According to the belief of the par
nnts the baby will experience no SER
ous results from its close call.

MINNESOTA RIVER SURVEY
Reports of Progress Are Being Sent
in to Major Skunk.

IN 10 mdJOI Suuuk.
Washington, Nov. l5.-Monthly re-
ports from Major Skunk, of the engi-
neer corps, to the chief of engineers
show that rapid progress is berg
made in surveying the Minnesota river,
in accordance with authority given in
the last river and harhor bill. These
reports lack all detail in that they do
net indicate the immediate portion of
the river on which the work was
prosecuted in the preceding month, but
say that many miles of soil have been
run, so much of the river charted, so
much run-off measured, and so many
taken to determine the
depth of the river, etc. 1t is expected
here, however, that the entire survey will
have been completed by the time the
river freezes up and that Major Skunk
will have formed his opinion as to the
government spending much money for
the river in accordance with
the plan suggested Previous reports
on the subject of the proposed. i'm
of the Minnesota river have
been made, and should Major Skunk
conclude that the river is worthy OF
his views will have to
be submitted to the river and harbor
board of the engineers office before
his report is sent to congress. Major
Shunk's brief monthly reports do not
indicate in any way what his conclu-
sions may be, as they are merely a
report of the chief engineer of what
is doing toward the survey.

Oklahoma City, Nov. l6.-Oklahoma

HEAR CALL OF WILD
SUFFRAGETTES IN GOTHAM TO AID
SOUTH DAKOTA SISTERS.
Mass Meeting Held in Carnegie Hall
and Sum of Money Raised For the
Females in the West; People Are
Handed Lemon By Railroads; the
Astor Scandal; Notes from the
Big Burg.

New York, Nov. 13.-The suffrage
sisterhood of Gotham, hearing cry
for help from the wilds of South Da-
kota, will respond next Wednesday
evening by holding big mass meet
ing in Carnegie Hall. The proceeds
will be used to advance the suffrage
campaign in the western state, where
Ia constitutional amendment giving
women the ballot will be voted on
next year. This is the first time in
it's history of forty years that the ma
tional American Woman Suffrage as
ISOLATION has given it's influence to
such a public meeting. Now the wom-
en- are alive to the fact that if they
are to engage in practical politics, in
competition with the men, barrel
is needed. Having reached this point,
the time when all women will vote is
only matter of a few years.
Handing Out the Lemon.
After next Monday, it is going to
cost a lot more to hand your enemies
a lemon. The transcontinental rail
roads, which have raised the freight
rates on the sour fruit, is responsible
for this condition of affairs. The new
schedule becomes effective Monday, and
the Italian vendors are up in arms.
Under the present freight arrange
ment, rates on lemons from California
points to eastern points are fifteen
cents hundred pounds less than the
rates on oranges and other citrus
fruits. The present freight concession
to lemons was made by the transcon-
tinental carriers because of an alleged
coast fruit growers to relinquish the
lemon market, their argument being
that they could not compete success
fully with the European and West In
dian growers at the rates then prevail
ing. The rates on lemons, therefore,
was reduced to a point fifteen cents
hundred pounds lower than was charg-
ed for the transportation of other cit
rus fruits from the Pacific coast.
The carriers now assert that the
rate on lemons is too low, and the
notice of advance has therefore been
given.
New York commission men assert
that the action of the roads may re-
suit in great increase in the impOr-
tation of lemons from Europe and the
I West Indies.

CLAPP, CLEAR FIELD
OPPOSITION TO REELECTION OF
SENATOR is WIPED OUT.
Kellogg Boom Has Been Punctured;
]. Adam Bede Mentioned, But
There Is No Likelihood That He
Will Be Considered in the Matter;
Neither Will Congressman Stevens;
Cal Stone to Face Obstacles.

| st. Paul, Nov. l6.-The Dispatch
says: A legislative delegation favor
able to Senator Clapp in 1911 is re-
ported as the latest political "dope"
A middle-of the-road insurgent and
with a number of persons anxious for
his Scalp Senator Ciapp was gener-
ally picked to have oposition, less than
month ago, but the gossips have it
now that the senatorial atmosphere
has cleared. The leaders have taken
up the matter and they say this in
measure explains the inactivity on
the part of Frank B. Kellogg
1t is reported now that Mr.. kellogg
will not get into the race. Minneapolis
was expected to bring forward a can
didate, but the leaders say it would be
useless as the town would not be a
unit for any man. j. Adam Bede of
Duluth and Congress Fred G. Stevens
are spoken of, but the leaders say
the first named is impossible, while
Congressman Stevens is satisfied with
his present position.
I1dFC VI LCdUclS.
One of the things in a trodble way
that confronts the slate makers and
those interested in the nomination of
Governor A. o. Eberhart, which, by the
way, is the present Crane is di-
vided convention with number of
the delegates urging the adoption of
a resolution indorsing Senator Clapp
for denomination.
1t is this that is rousing them to ac-
tivity, and the clearing of the sena-
torial atmosphere the past three days
is claimed by those who know as one
of the results. Senator Clapp is
known to have had several conferences
with the republican leaders of late,
and whatever happened was undoubt-
edly to his credit. In other words, he
is to have their support.
Opposition to Cal Stone.
Showing the Clapp activity and what
some of the men out in the state in
terested in his behalf are doing, it is
said that strong pressure is being used
to induce Senator Ole 0. Canestorp of
Grant to again get into the field. He
is strong supporter of Senator Clapp,
but wants to retire from political ac-
tivity. In the st. Paul field, Cal Stone,
who represents the Seventh ward in
the legislature, is said to be due for
opposition, because he is supposed to
have a Kellogg leaning. That the
Clapp strength in this district may be
further strengthened, Eli S. Warner is
picked to 60 after Senator E. S. Dur
ment's scalp.
These are a few of the straws that
show which way the wind is blowing,
and, according to those interested in
the Clapp candidacy, every thing will
be in line before the close. Harmony
is to be the political watchword, and
it is to cover every office on the list,
from the governor down. The slate is
now being picked.

Short Talk on Fashions.


Shop Talk: There was never sea-
son SO satisfying in variety of line and
color. The new models cannot be said
to belong to any period-rather the
best lines of the several periods that
were last season made bone of
contention by the couturiere and the
designer are now presented in modified
and artistic form. There are no eXag-
gerations put forth, nothing grotesque.
If every woman is not well dressed
it is not the fault of the fashion but
of her own abnormal taste or lack
of it.
Glitter and CLEAN are in great EVIL
dence among all dress accessories, and
such effects are sure to flourish
throughout the entire season.
Not only in jewelry is this riotous
indulgence in the sparkle and glitter
of precious and m-precious stones,
but on the gowns themselves are set
in every conceivable way, gems that
catch the light and send out glints
of color sometimes matching the tone
of the dress.
Even to the realm of buttons the idea
is carried and many of the buttons
employed on rich fur coats are hand
some and costly enough for brooches
AS for the wearing of jewelry, a
barbarc mixture of color in semi pre-
cious stones is the fad of the day Fin
gers are too loaded for gloves and
white throats are literally burdened
with necklaces, two, three sometimes
four, worn at the same time.
Serpent girdles with jeweled eye:

SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH LIFE
"Glad Tidings" Is Title of Sermon
Preached By Rev. Johnson.

Last night, Rev. Johnson spoke to
a large audience at the Second Con-
gregational church, North Mankato, on
the topic, "Glad Tidings." Here are
Just few extracts: ''We have had
enough of the long faces; God give
us the round and bright ones. A
Methodist brother once said to me-
That big smile of yours is all right
joe l have ever since tried to smile
my way through difficulties. 1t has

from Miss Hook of Holland" and
also in an exquisite song entitled
"Starland,' in which she is assisted by
sixteen young ladies, who dance
charmingly with long silllen scarfs, on
which the calcium lights play with
beautiful effect.
One of the snappiest numbers on
the program is Il Can't Do That Sum-"
in which Miss Marjory Gerlaeh and
Mr.. Mcdonald appear, dressed as lit
tie school kids. and assisted by a
chorus of ten young misses, who sit on

brette from La Crosse, has two big
song and dance hits, and Miss Lillian
Anderson, who, by the way, is a niece
of Rose Melville, who plays ISIS Hop
kins," has number which simply car
ries the audience by storm. In fact
the audience figures in this song very
prominently and also might be add
ed, very willingly.
There are lot of surprises that are
being kept secret and some of them
will certainly have the audience 60
ing some.

limit to be raised at $4,000, of which
only about $4,000 has been received.
The Redwing Free Press says that
this would seem to indicate that tears
are easier shed than dollars; because
if the actual heartbreaking grief that

could have been coined into dollars
