FROM THE GRAVE ALTAR. TO THE Wonderful Experience of a Wo- man Supposed to Haye Been Dead. SNATCHED FROM THE TOMB, Presented to Her Parents After a Year's Lapse as the Wife of the Man Who Saved Her. Hope, N. Dak., Sept. 14.—A girl who a year ago was pronounced dead and prepared for burial has reappeared before her astonished parents as the wife of George E. Thompson, a young farmer living with his mother near here. Mrs. Thompson was Miss Ellen Norman, the 19-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Norman, living just south of here. She was the belle of the neighborhood and was engaged to Thompson, who came here with his mother a few years ago and took up a farm. In October, 1894, the girl was taken ill with a malady that puzzled the doctors, and on October 24 she died, at least the doctor pronounced her dead, after subjecting her to numerous tests. Ina few hours the face of the dead girl began to turn black and the doctors at once order- ed the body placed ina coffin tightly closed, as they feared the disease was something contagious. The funeral was set for the next day and the coffin containing the body was kept over night in the house. The only watcher was Mr. Thompson, who declared that he was not afraid of the disease, whatever it was It was due to his watching that the young woman is alive to day. After the family retired, leaving him alone with the dead girl, he re. moved the lid of the coffin, in order to once more gaze on her face. As he sat looking at the discolored face, he was surprised to see the girl’s bosom rise and fall in a spasmodic way, as though she were gasping for breath. In a moment he was bend ing over the coffin with his ear pressed against her chest. There was hfe in the body for the heart was fluttering faintly. Wrapping the body, which had not become rigid, in some blankets, Thompson, without awakening the family, car- ried the girl to his own home, where he explained the case to his mother. She agreed with him that it would be folly to arouse the neighbors, as it was not certain that the girl would fully come to life again. After placing Ellen in bed and surrounding her with. pillows, Dr. Mullan was called in and sworn to secrecy. This done, Thompson re- turned to the Norman residence, and, after making up a dummy body, and covering it with the grave clothes and dropping a handkerchief over the face so the deception would not be noticed, he resumed the watch. When morning came all was the same apparently as it had been left by the family the night before, and the coffin remained under orders from the doctors unopened, even for Mr. and Mrs. Norman to take a last look at the dead girl. The funeral was held at the little church here in the morning, and was largely attend- ed. The sermon was an affecting one, and at its conclusion the coffin was lowered into the grave and hid- den from sight. Mr. Thompson, Dr. Mullan and Mr. Thompson's mother were the only ones who knew the body of the girl was not in it. 3 Mrs. Thompson remained at home taking care of the girl, and as she was supposed to be ill nothing was thought of her absence. After Miss Norman had been carried to the Thompson residence and Dr. Mullan had worked over her for several hours it became evident that she breathing in a fairly natural manner She remained unconscious and delir the doctor, constantly at her bedside, and then awoke as froma heavy sleep. and must remain absolutely quiet. As she became stronger all was ex plained to her. the doctor would not listen to, say. ing thet the least excitement might bring on a relapse. About the mid dle of December Miss Norman was spirited away by the doctor and Mr. Thompson and since that time she has been traveling in the South and West, where she has fully re- gained her health. Soon after leaving here she and Mr. Thompson were married, and shortly after that Dr. Mullan return- ed to his home here, leaving his patient in charge of her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson arrived here a few days ago over the Great Northern Railroad, first having ad vised Mr. and Mrs. Norman that the daughter they had mourned as dead was alive and well and on her way home as the wife of Mr. Thompson. There wasa dramatic scene when Mrs. Thompson met her parents. townspeople at first refused to be- lieve that the young woman whom they supposed they had seen buried was alive, and would not be con vinced that it, was she in reality until the grave where her body was supposed to be lying was opened and the dummy body taken from the coffin. Mrs. Thompson looks as well and happy as a woman can, but does not care to talk of her strange ex. perience, although her husband is ready at all times to discuss the matter. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are now living on their farm, a short distance from the town. Ahye With Cholera Germs. San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 18.— Notwithstanding the efforte of the Chinese and Japanese officials to suppress the news in regard to, chol era the truth has at last come to light concerning the plague Japan and north China are fairly alive with cholera germs, Siberian officials hav- ing declared Japanese open ports infected, and from official sources it is learned that over 17,000 people have died in Japan from the plague since its start in the Pescadores In China the disease has gained a firm foothold. Advices by the steam- er Rio Janeiro report that in Tokio the heat is terrific andthe disease germs have been nursed by the cli- mate into virulent life. On the Rio Janeiro little could be learned con- cerning Yokohama, but nevertheless the plague is raging there also. In China at Hie Fow the disease is spreading rapidly. Miss Turner aud the child of Dr. and Mrs: McFarland of the Chu Chai London mission were stricken down and died. At Nanking much illness among the foreigners,many of whom have been forced to flee from the country. The ravages of cholera in Japan are far greater than have been reported. Upto jAugust 26, just before the Rio Janeiro sailed, 17,358 deaths from the disease was reported. “Yield not to Misfortune.” 5 I was afflicted with catarrh tumn. hear but little. ed for cure, seems to do even that.

In calling the meeting to order he said in part: “To be chosen to preside over an assembly like this is a proud distinction for which I am profoundly grateful. My selection for such a duty in- volves the flattering implication that I am deemed worthy to represent the soldier of the south and all he stands for. The story of the fierce struggle tells what he did and how he suffered for his duty, as he saw it, while the strife was raging, and the sequel shows that when the conflict ceased, the names and fame he won in battle were never tarnished by any breach of a paroled soldier's pledge of peace. He raised his hand against the north because he had been taught it was his duty to battle for the rights and in- stitutions of his state. A sentiment he had inherited, ingrained in his nature, sustained him through the fierce, long struggle, in which he was destined to be beaten. After the lapse of thirty years, since his banners went down for him, in his name it is my pride and pleasure to greet his former foemen whom he joins in doing honor to our reunited country’s flag.” m Then jarbum t Presi- t address was He was After some Gov.
