ft* NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. SLEEPY EYE. (From the Disoatcb.) The New Ulm Review mau delivered his Telephone Duectory last w^ek and it is with pleasure that we commend the typographies appearance of the job We are told that the arrangement, type setting and piess woik was done by Al fred Sehroeck and he has just reason to be proud of the same. We learn that Mr. Charles Silvereon, the man who taught the good people of New Ulm one or two lessons in milling and in municipal pslitics, and who has resided in Cincinnati for several vears past, is to again take up his lesidence at the county seat, Mr. Silverson's return to his old haunts is a good thing for New Ulm as a community and indirectly to Brown county. The Dispatch extends him a hearty welcome. Fred Meier of the town of Home is an earnest advocate of good roads and he is in favor of placing men with special training in road „,akmg in office as over seeis of highways and he further favors the retention of these men in office for at least four yeais so that tha£ can have the time to bring then woik up to some thing like system. A half a mile of good road made eveij year, says Mr. Meiers, will eventually give us good roads while a centuiy of hit or miss road work will be required to keep the roads open and at the end of that time we will have nothing. Mr. Shannon, the traveling auditor for the Van Dusen people as here on Monday and the Dispatch had an oppor tunity of talking with him regarding the probable action of his people in replac ing their burned elevator. Mr. Shannon says that he sees no reason at this time why his company should quit business here as Sleepy Eye has always paid them a dividend on their investment. It is his opinion that the burned building will be replaced by a modern structure of perhaps 30,000 bushels capacity and their buyer installed there for business. From Mr. Shannon we also learned that the original Van Dusen house here was a flat house and it formed the west end of the house that was burned. The ele vator proper was built to take care of the increased tiade and the additions on the east end of the elevator were put up for coal and oats. The smaller building at the extreme east of the long line of houses was built for a fire hall for the village and there was stored for a num ber of years the old hand engine that was the reliance ot the town for tire pro tection. The house was not used for el ebator purposes at all. (From tbe Herald.) The public has been for some weeks congratulating itself that we wpre lid of small pox, but there are two oases near town in Town Stark and one case in town.

C. Sohade in the tailor shop. E. S. Roads bought it for $60 which was distributed among the creditors. Mr, Schade is in Canada where his wife has gone to join him. She left here some two weeks ago. The Rev. Updyke of New Ulm visited the Congregational church here Sunday incog and after Mr. Blackwell had fin ished his sermon the visitor arose in the audience and in a short speech paid Mr. Blackwell a graceful and well-deserved compliment. It was a pleasant surprise both to Mr. Blackwell and the audience. The Leavenworth creamery was visited by the Heiald man on Monday and he found that the building is all completed and now the machineiy is being put in place and by the middle of the coming week milk will be received. The cream cry is located near the Leavenworth Catholic church and is about eight miles from town. Heretofore the farmers in that vicinity hauled their milk to Sleepy Eye but now congratulate themselves that they will not have to go so far in the marketing of their milk. Tne cieam eiy and cliurch is lecated in the midst of a thickly settled sect ion of the county and the farmers want a store and a black smith shop. SPRINGFIELD.

Brephy to be put up there. I hen he has let to Anderson Bros the contract to build a fine large farmhouse on the place, which will make one of the bfcit improved farms in the country. Ed. Schmid, who has been suffering from blood-poisoning in one of his feet, is now somewhat better. There was a small sore on his ankle, and from wear ing colored stockings, the poison was absorbed, and for some time his case was looked upon by the physicians as quite cntical. Since lite leturn fio.ii Owaton na, where he was attending school, he has been improving. COMFREY. (From the Times.) Mike Ordner, who had a jaw broken last week being kicked by a horse, is improving as well as could be expected. Enckson & Wallin have finished the carpenter work on Alfred Bradbury's residence, and are now at work on the I Catholic church. Work was delayed several days this week on account of the high winds. Vermer Adolphson, who was acciden tally shot in the foot some time ago, went to Springfield last Tuesday. The object of his visit was to see if Dr. Roth enburg would be^able to locate the bul let with his x-ray.

W. lodge of this place held a special meeting in Hodges hall last Monday afternoon, the object of which was to discuss the matter of se curing a room for lodge purposes.

D. 1901. By the Court, (Seal! S.A. Gedige, 18o he Loo Is a Dangeron Bird Wit W to Battle. The loon, or great northern diver, is a powerful biwk The following in stance of one ot them conquering a man happened a few years ago: A young Miqm.ae Indian, living at Grand Lake, N S wanted to get the skin of one of these beautiful birds to present to his mistress on. her birth day. One day the youth, who was an adept at Imitating the peculiar sobbing cry of the loon, succeeded in calling a bird within shootirrg distance. His shot, however, failed to kill outright, and the bird, although so severely wound ed that it could neither swim nor dive, yet retained sufficient life and strength" to remain upright In the water. The boy, thinking that his game did not need another shot, swam out to re trieve it, but when he approached 'neat enough to seize the bird it suddenly made a dash at him, sending its head and neck out with a spring like an ar row from a bow. I was only by a quick duck of his head that the Indian succeeded in evading the blow. He swam about the loon several times, at tempting to dash In and seize him by the neck, but the wary bird succeeded In foiling each effort by continually facing him and lunging out with his powerful neck. The Indian then swam up to within a few feet of the bird and, diving under him with considerable skill, caught him by the legs. carried him un der, and, although the bird struggled fiercely, managed to retain his hold. But when they both rose to the sur face again a battle royal began, the Indian seeking to carry his prize ashore and the bird attempting to re gain his freedom. The bird, however, was too much for his foe and before the Indian had covered a yard on his Shore bound course disabled him with a vicious blow from his beak full on the naked chest. The effect of the blow was almost In stantaneously fatal, for the beak pene trated close to the Indian's a Youth's Companion. STORY OF NOSES. Wliy Generals Ha a Ka uai Organ of an Type. The features are developed by the mind. A child that is reared amid pleasant surroundings and whose mind is filled with pleasant thoughts, will have a pleasing face. The shape of the" nose and chin will depend entirely upon the strength and character of the mental faculties. At 10 a boy's nose may be small and turned up at the end, at 15 it may have grown larger and be straight and at 25 It may be pronounced Roman. I all de pends upon his mind. The Romans had big noses with high bridges because they were a steady and determined race of people. Sturdi ness and determination will give a man a Roman nose, no matter how little or how snubby his proboscis may have been when he was born. The Greeks had straight, delicate, finely chiseled noses because their tastes are artistic and poetic. You never saw a poet or an artist with a Roman or snub nose, did you? On the other hand, it would be hard to find a great general who had not a Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan der the Great, Napoleon, Wellington, Washington or Grant and see if they have not all got big, strong noses of the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite safe to say that if we could have por traits of all these personages, taken in infancy, we would find their olfactory organs little pudgy affairs, like those of the common run of babies. These men were not great generals because they had Roman noses they had Ro man noses because they were great generals.—San Francisco Bulletin. mm THE MOHAVE INDIANS THEY ARE THE MOST SUPERSTITIOUS OF ALL OUR R^D MEN. After a Tbelr Spirits, Say, Are Carried to a I the Smok Front Thei Burning: Bodies—Those Not Burne Tur to Owls. J. K. Meekinson, formerly a govern ment special agent, says that the Mo haves are the most superstitious tribe North American Indians. "The Mohaves," said he, "believe in a god Mat-o-we-lia. He is the maker of all things. has a son, whom they call Mas-zam-ho, who is king of the de parted spirits. Mat-o-we-lia, they say, conducts the movements of the sun, moon and stars. He sends the rain and the sunshine and decides whether the season shall bring feast or famine. He guards the hunting ground. Mas zam-ho has full charge of affairs in heaven, or White Mountain, as they call it. "They believe that the spirit dead go up to White Mountain in smoke and that all the personal property destroy ed in the flames with the deceased will go with him. There pots are constant ly boiling, filled with the choicest things to eat. They invariably cremate their dead that Mas-zam-ho may be appeased, and the funeral pyre Is made ready for the corpse as soon as life is extinct, in order that the spirit journey to White Mountain may be accelerated. "I witnessed about 12 months ago the cremation of an influential subchief, whose death was deeply mourned. The funeral pyre was made near the tem porary village, just off the reservation at Fort Mohave. Shortly after night fall all the inhabitants of the village gathered about the pyre. The body, wrapped in a gorgeous Mohave blanket, with the fringes artistically worked in beads, was carried on the shoulders of four braves from the lodge to the plat form of inflammable firewood. "Following the pallbearers came the women and children and near rela tives. The family group crouched near the pyre. The chief of the medicine men offered first words of praise and thanks to Mat-o-we-lia for making the elements favorable to an easy passage and then a supplication to Mas-zam-ho to reeeive the spirit of the departed chieftain with due honors at White Mountain. "Then the dead body was placed on the pyre, the fire was lighted, the crac kling flames swept fiercely up about the corpse, and the spirit was on its way to its eternal home on White Mountain. Friends and relatives chant ed songs of lamentation and moaned piteously while the flames devoured the body. At short Intervals the four pallbearers cast upon the flames per sonal property of the deceased in the expectation of its going up in smoke with him to White Mountain, thereby adding to his comfort. "The mourners also contributed some of their choicest personal belongings, so that In his new and eternal home the absent one might have about him remembrances of their affection. To the women of the immediate family was granted the privilege of contribut ing portions of their hair to the flames. After the incineration was complete Mohave etiquette forbade the friends and relatives to eat salt or wash them selves for four days. "It is a belief firmly fixed in the Mo have mind that all Mohaves who die and are not cremated turn into owls. When an owl is heard hooting at night near their village, they think it is the spirit of some dead Mohave returned. If by chance an owl falls into their hands, the bird is properly cremated, in the belief that the wandering spirit of its Mohave occupant will thereby be quieted and thus enabled to approach Mas-zam-ho, confident that Its petition to be allowed to enter the promised land and thereafter rest in peace among the other good Indians of White Mountain cannot be refused. "Until very recently the Mohaves held yearly a mourning festival. It was the annual burning of personal property in honor of the departed mem bers of the tribe. At the hour deemed most propitious by the medicine men to both Mat-o-we-lia and to Mas-zam ho the Mohaves assembled in an open spot near their village, a high knoll usually being selected. The pyre had been prepared as though for the crema tion of the dead. When the fire was hottest each member of the tribe con tributed to the flames some bit of per sonal property held in choice esteem. "As the thick smoke floated sky ward the mourning Indians were con soled for the loss of objects of personal adornment, apparel or St hunting im plements by their firm belief that the curling smoke rings were wafted straight to Mas-zam-ho, king of the de parted spirits, and that their loved ones on White Mountain were soon in possession of these proofs of their last ing love and remembrance. "Under the influence of their agents the Mohaves have abandoned the an nual sacrifice to the dead, and, except at Needles, off the reservation, it is not now observed."—Washington Let ter in New York Sun. Dancing 1 In the earlier ages dancing was ad vocated as a cure for sickness. Lyenr gus brought bsck from India and Egypt to Lacedaemonia notions of med ico-religious dances and enacted that the Spartan youth should be brought up gracefully and symmetrically. In Greece Socrates commended dancing with a view to educating the mind and body, for he looked on It as a health giving device. Somebody remarks that they who sneer at golf know nothing about it But it may also be said that many who know nothing about the grime are most enthusiastic in its praise.—Boston TcanseuDt.
