Seymour, of the Green Bay
road, was badly injured by being
thrown from a pile driver near Grand
Rapids. He fell twenty feet, but did
not break any bones. As he weighs
over 200 poundj toys bj^ly shaken

During the late storm, a barn be-
ponging to Hiram Davis, west of Fari
bault, was struck by Mghtning and
rfj burned, together with a threshing
4 machine and a lot of other farm tools.
Loss, §2,500. Insurance, $1,100.
A young man in Pipestone county,
While digging a well the other day
struck a well preserved tree twenty
feet below the surface and had to chop
through it before he could proceed
with his work.
John Stein, aged twenty-two, and
Paul Peterson, aged twenty-five,
v^hile ploughing near Georgetown
were struck by lightning and killed.
Charles Stein was also in the field a
4hort distance, but was not hurt.
Peterson is a swede and has no rela
tives in this country.
While shearing sheep at Chatfield,
a son of D. Hisey noticed something
peculiar about the appearance of a
sheep's tongae and, calling his fa
ther's attention to the fact, the sheep
was caught and examined. Upon
opening its mouth it was seen that a
',rmg of some kind was around the
sheep's tongue. After a few moments
it was taken off and found to be a
solid gold ring, with a handsome set,
valued at about $7. How the Ting
came on the sheep's tongue will prob
ably remain a mystery, as rthad
been there some time, being deeply
,, imbedded in the flesh.
The champion fish of the season
was caught at Winona. It was a
buffalo and weighed seventy-four
pounds, and was speared by John
Melville, yardmaster of the North
western. One weighing fifty-seven
pounds was captured a few days be
fore.
Albert Daids, aged eighteen years,
in the employ of a farmer, Jesse
Whitney, near Blue Earth City,
ended his life under mysterious cir
cumstances. He was found shot, the
fatal bullet having entered the breast.
An empty pistol lay by his side. It
was doubtless an accident. His
parents live in Wells.
The Presbyterian church at Currie
has voted to give its pastor six
weeks' vacation,
JohnFifer, while intoxicated, fell
flown stairs at the Stadt Colbe*rg ho
tel at Winona, and fractured his
skull. He came from Portage, Wis
three weeks ago to work E W.
Williams' shoe shop. He has a wife
and family at Portage.
The elite of Beaver Creek who en
gage lawn tennis pronounce it as
easy as sawing wood.
Farmers and citizens have taken to
the fighting of grasshoppers around
Perham in earnest and there is now
about 200 different contrivances in
operation for the catching of hoppers
for which a bounty of $1 per bushel
is being paid. Two hundred and
three hundred bushels are being
caught daily. It is expected that
most of the crops will be saved as
there has been s© much wet weather
that they can do but little damage.
An effort is being made to completely
exterminate them. Crops outside,
and also the district infested with
these locusts never looked better.
Measles and whooping cough are
epidemic at Rochester this summer,
and have already resulted in an un
usual number of deaths owing to
complications- The measles, when
alone, are of a mild type.
Dr. Thomas Peierce, one of the
ablest and best known physicians of
Winona, met with a serious accident.
He went home from a call at midnight
and put his horse in the barn, going
up in the hay loft to throw down
some hay. In the dark he fell down
a hole in the floor and broke his leg
in two places, shaking him up badly.
The fracture is a bad one, breaking
a small bone on ttae inside and one
on the outside of his right leg.
The store of C. Sommer at New
tJlm, was robbed by burglars. Four
suits of clothing, sixteen pair of
shoes and all of the best jewelry in
the store was taken. The money in
the cash drawer, about $2, was also
taken.
The Faribault city assessor's re
turns show an increased valuation on
real estate in the city over last year
of $70,000. This year's valuation
as a basis of taxation of real estate
is $1,320,000 in round numbers.
The board of education of Anoka
has elected H. E. King and wife, of
Cedar Springs, Mich., as principal and
assistant of the city schools, the for
mer at a salary of $1,200 yearly and
the latter at $55 per month.

replied, feeling in her pocket "this is

They remind us ofthe old collored man
in ante-bellum times His pious

"Fain would I write a poem on the

set teeth and for a long time it was
so still that one could distinctly, hear
a peach blow.

The sheriff of Hardin county found
a chance to enliven a dry and Bomber
document which he has forwarded to
the governor's office. Some time
ago a requisition was granted by
the governor for a man in Nebraska,
The sheriff attempted to execute it,
but found the man on a bed of sick
ness and the criminal afterward died.
On the return of the requisition the
sheriff recites the above and then
says: "This requisition not author

I return it herewith unexecuted."
jj.j^j'P^-- Methodist ISfiras^i
From tlie New York Son.
Methodist nuns are to be a novelty
in feniinine experience. "^They were
created by the Methodist General
Conference, after a careful considera
tion of the subject by the Committee
on Missions. The committee reported
favorably, and the Conference inserted
in the Discipline of the Church a sec
tion regulatingthem*,,. They are to'be
called deaconesses, and they will be
very similartothenunsof the Roman
Catholic Church, except that they are
not to take vows of life service or of
celibacy. Every annual conference
in which these deaconesses are estab
lished wiil have a board of nine mem
bers to control this kind of work.
Nothing more definite than that was
by the Conference, but the impression
is that the Methodist nuns will wear
a distinctive costume, and live in
houses by themselves. They "will
minister to the poor and the sick, care
for orphans, and do other work of
charity. They will be required to
serve a probation of continual service
for two years before being made dea
conesses, and they will have to be at
least 25 years of age^flt has long
been a desire of the Rev. Dr. Dix of
Trinity to have such duties performed
by regular orders of women, and he
succeeded several years ago in forming
an organization of Episcopalian nuns,
but they have not been endorsed by
the denomination, and so the Metho
dists are the first Protestant church
in America to attempt the recruiting
and uniforming of religious sisters.
The first of these deaconesses will be
likely to be seen in Chicago, where
there is already an informal organiza
tion of a somewhat similar character
but it is believed that in all the large
cities, within a year, there will be
established probationary classes. As
two years service will be required be
fore any woman may become a dea
coness, there must ensue that amount
of elay, but the work and the costum
ing of the devotees may begin at once.
"And what costumes will the deacon
esses wear was asked of nearly ievery
member of the committee responsible
for their creation. No definite an
swer could be obtained. Indeed, the
reverend gentleman did not seem to
have considered that matter partic
ularly, although the question will be
quick to come to the front when the
order becomes really existent. Nat
urally, a sober garb will be chosen,
but how nearly it will approach the
disfigurement deemed essential in
the Catholie Church, as a destructive
agency for feminine pride, remains to
be seen. rf* jd.
Something Ahout Honiton Lace.,"
Saturday Beview
Honiton lace has a curious chequer
ed history with many fluctuations. It
is said to have been first introduced
by the Flemings, who took refuge in
England to escape the persecutions
of the Duke of Alva. Many Flemish
names are still to be found in the
neighborhood of Honiton—namely,
Stocker, Murch, Maynard, Trump,
etc. In 1660 there was such a de
mand for it that France thought it
necessary to i^sue a royal ordinance
providing that a mark should be af
fixed to imported English thread
lace. Two great fires at Honiton in
1756 and 1767 gave the first great
check to its production. Queen Ade
lade tried to revive it after twenty
years of severe depression by order
ing a skirt, made of sprigs, copies of
natural flowers, commencing with
the initials ofher name for a very de
based and hideous set of patterns
had come in. This does not seem to
have produced a great revival of the
trade, and when our present queen re
quired her wedding lace, it was found
difficult to provide the workers but
eventually a dress worth £1,000 was
made at the small fishing village of
Beer. The English royal family have
been most constant patrons of Hon
iton lace, and have done immense
good in keeping the trade alive. We
will end by quoting a few quaint
words from Fuller's Devonshire
worthies, which sum up the plea for
the revival: "Hereby many children
who otherwise would be burthensome
to the parish prove benificial to their
parents. Yes, many lame in their
limbs, and impotent in their arms, if
able in their fingers, gain a livelihood
thereby not to say that it saveth
many thousands of pounds yearly,
formerly sent over seas to fetch lace
in Flanders."

To Africa in Six Hours. J§§
From the Albany Telegram.
Ocean travel, if one can believe In
ventor Pierce, is about to undergo a
complete revolution, Col. Pierce hopes
to lay a doublebarreled pneumatic
tube across the ocean, by which pas
sengers can travel at the rate of 1,000
miles an hour. The cars can be
made either 1,000 feet long or 10
feet long, and will have wheels on all
sides. They will be a little less than 4
feet in diameter, and the passengers
while occupying them will recline on
luxurious cushions. Air will belet into
the cars for purposes of ventilation
by means of stopcocks, and for light
ing electricity will probably be used.
In order to prevent an undue rush of
air at the terminus a large number
of arterial exits will be used, which
will enable the expresses to slow up
properly. Col. Pierce will allow our
Government to furnish the money if
not Europeangovernments will have
the opportunity. Hong Kong, under
the new system, will be reached in
twelve hours and Central Africa in
six hours. Single tickets, good for
either of the points mentioned, ought
not to cost more than $20 apiece.
She is Deaf, Dumb and Blind.
Helen Keller? is the name of a sev
en-year-old child who can neiEher see,
hear nor speak, and who is in all re
spects as great a wonder as the world
famous Laura Bridgeman. The girl
is now in Boston to attend the com
mencement exercises at the Perkins
SchoolfortheBlind.whichwasfounded
by Dr. Samuel G. Howe, deceased
husband of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
A Boston special to the New York
World says: Although deprived of
all her most important senses, she
has been brought by the agency of
the blind alphabet into a surprisingly
keen appreciation of the things about
her. She is the daughter of Arthur
H. and Kate Keller, and was born
June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Ala.
Her father was formerly editor of the
North American, and he is now
United States marshal for the north
ern district of Alabama. His mother
was a great-grand-daughter of Alex.
Spotswood, first colonial governor
of Yirginia,and she was also second
cousin to Gen. Robert E. Lee.
When little Helen was nineteen
months old an illness resulted in the
total loss of sight and Hearing. She
had been an unusually bright and
active child and was fast learning to
to talk when she was taken sick. She
soon ceased to talk because she heard
no sound, but as her physical strength
turned she began to exhibit wonder
ful aptitude for learning everything
about the household. She learned to
distinguish the different members of
the family through her sense of touch,
and her parents decided to place her
in charge of the Perkins Institution,
in this city, in the hope that her ter
rible condition might in some meas
ure be ameliorated Miss Annie M.
Sullivan, herself a graduate of the
school, was sent to Tuscumbia in
March, 1887. She taught Helen the
finger alphabet of the blind, and af
ter days ofpatient work was reward
ed by seeing her pupil exhibit unmis
takable signs of intelligence. Her
sense of touch being so acute Helen
was able after a while to comprehend
the purpose and shape of objects
round about her. An object could be
given her, and after examining it
carefully with her fingers the name of
the object would be communicated to
her Dy the finger alphabet.
By the end of August, 1887, she
knew 625 words and almost as many
objects. After this she learned to
read after the fashion of the blind by
means of raised letters, and then to
write. These processes were of course
intensely laborious to pupil and
teacher alike, and only rhe gentleness
and perseverence of both could ever
have won success. Her knowledge of
arithmetic is equally remarkable, and
she takes extreme pleasure in feeding
domestic ammals and learning their
habits and us\ Her power ot imita
tion is strongly developed. Her
memory is retentive and her curiosity
is insatiable.

Came Back for a Bustle.
Fio the New York Herald.
Pochuch mountains, a range be
tween New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
is inhabited chiefly by wood choppers
who seldom venture into town, and
live much like the aborigines. Mrs.
Charhe Rinehart is, however, an ex
ception, and has long been the belle
of the place. She is a pretty brunette,
and a lover of dress, and popular
with the inhabitants of that isolated
spot. Consequently,when her husband
came to the neighbors with word that
she had eloped,the whole community
turned out to make chase.
Rinehart said he had noticed a
"sappy-looking" fellow hanging
around his place in the morning, but
thought nothing of it. When he
came back at noon his wife and two
children were gone, as well as some
bedding, cooking utensils and pro
visions.
A large crowd soon took up the
trail, which led through the woods.
About night they come up with the
party as they were preparing to
camp out for the night. The "sappy"
young man took to his heels and es
caped, but carried with him a load of
shot fired by the husband. Mrs.
Rinehart explained that he was an
old admirer of hers, and that she
wanted to live in a town where she
could dress better.
She finally returned with her hus
band after he promised to buy her
a new dress with a "bustle."
How the Mexicans Dress.
Cleveland Plain Dealer ^f* *,y»*
—DEA,
i?
The peon women wear only scanty
skirts and a mantilla of gaudy or
black stuff. The women of the better
class delight in French shoes and
skirts and tournures, their clothing
crackles with the starch in them, and
according to degree they wear hats
or mantillas of lace or fine stuff The
masculine attire in Chiuahua, and in
deed all of Northern Mexico is varied.
The bloods wear american clothing
with an apologetic touch or two of
the old national dress. Pot hats and
frock coats abound. Then come the
ranchers with their short jackets,
fancy shirts, skin-tight pantaloons
with bell bottoms and two and three
rows of metal bell buttons, and ex
travagantly embroidered and laced
sombreo. The peons are all lightly
clad beneath, canvas trousers pre
dominating and bare legs plenty.
The hair is bound back by a band
round the forehead and the inevita
ble zarape, usually an Indian made
blanket, plain or gaudy stripes, is
wrapped over the shoulders and hangs
to the knees. In the cold morning
and evening airof Chihuahua the ef
fect to full-blooded American eyes is
ludicrous. The peon's legs seem to
be in winter and his body in summer.
But they are his legs and we overlook
the effect for that reason, being satis
fied with the condition of our own.
