GOT A WRONG IMPRESSION
Minister Seeking Material for Sermon
Made Mistake in Superficial
Reading.

A reform wave was In progress. 4
noted divine, wishing to get local color
for his next Sundays scathing attack
on vice, took trip through the Sc
gregated district. He had gone only
few blocks when he came upon sign
which read mo Further Use for
Mother"
Horrifled beyond expression, he con-
cluded that this was al. the material
he needed, and he went home to write
his sermon on the utter degradation
Of society that would throw moth
ers on the rubbish heap.
At the close OF his denunciation the
next Sunday, when he was receiving
the congratulations OF his parlShoners,
q friend came up TO him and said:
THAT was a fine sermon you preached,
only you didn't see one thing when
you read your sign"
'T saw everything there was on It,"
the minister replied, with some as
pertty.
But not what was above IT," his
friend enlightened him ms he went of.
Right over 1t you should have read
the sign; "Tneubators Made Here"

county and ten times more republicans

has appointed, as members Of the BIZ

he chairman OF the democratic county
committee and the secretary Of the
progressive county committee, Mr..
Fine, a man who has lived in the
county less than five years, and who
had been a southern d. mocrat all his
life till last Ian. The governor utterly
ignored the republicans Of the county
-nested them contemptuously, il
fact. Evidently the democratic gov

make a coalition with the progressives
who gave them the state governmen

ElrsfiY,s Secret Discovered,

How the freny and the glowworm
produce their light without setting
themselves on FIRE WAS q mystery un'
I'll very recently. But Professor Ra'
phael.Dubois Of Lyon university,
France, has been studying the prob
lem, and at the congress Of the Zoo
logical society at Monaco he described
his solution Of It.
According to him this phosphor-
escence is caused by two compounds
which he calls 'lucIterase" and "luci-
ferine." Neither OF these alone Is ef-
fectlve, nor will they produce light
when combined, except when they are
in contact with water.
Professor Raphael.Dubois succeeded
In isolating these two substances and
keeping them for several months in
bottles without deterioration.

LOST MAN FOUND HERE.
Olaf j. Wiekum, North Dakota Farm.
err, Comes Here From Chicago,
Carrying $4,000 i'm Secur-
tiles.

Olaf j. Wiekum, North Dakota
farmer, was found here Monday and
taken to Chicago yesterday by Mr..
Holmquist, one of the oratorio solo
lists. 1t appears that he had been
suffering from severe nervous diff
culties, and sold his farm in North
Dakota and went to Chicago to live
with his sister, Mrs. A. j. Anderson,
and seek medical aid. He left her
home on Saturday and did not return
and the Chicago police instituted a
search for him, according to the pa
pers. He had $3.50 in money and
valuable papers and bonds amount
ing to $4,000 with him, and it was
feared that possibly he might have
been robbed. He has expressed the
fear that he was being followed by
robbers, and had said that he might
return to North Dakota. He was
fifty-three years of age, and his mind
had been unbalanced for some little
time.
On the train coming from Chicago
Monday morning, the oratorio solo
lists saw and recognized this man,
Mr.. Holmquist being acquainted with
his sister, Mrs. Anderson. He was
acting strangely, and the conductor
turned him over to the singers, who
agreed to take him back to Chicago
with them and deliver him to his sis
ter. The Calmar mayor refusing to
keep him for them until they return
ed, they brought him to DEBORAH and
took him to the Winneshiek hotel,
where room was provided and he
was watched. In the afternoon, how
ever, he wandered out onto the street
and down toward the fair grounds,
where Nightwatch Rima found him
in the evening. He said he had a
name but didn't know what it was,
or what he was doing. He was taken
back to tie hotel and kept under
guard until yesterday morning, when
Mr.. Holmquist took him back to Chi
cago with him.

college, and the st. Olaf team will do

of rooters are expected from st. Olaf
as usual, and it is expected to be a
battle royal. l.. c. now heads the
