TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Il Three Year Old Child Mangled in a.
Reaper.
LMeeker County Tribune, July 31.I
Last Thursday afternoon terrible ac-
cident occurred on the farm of MI. John
Moller, few miles out of town. Mr.. Mol
Ter was engaged in cutting grain, while his
three-year old boy was playing in the
field. The boy went unobserved into the
standing grain and amused himself with
picking up kernels of grain on the ground
The place where he went in was covered with
tall grain stalks, or straw, which was
deesely interviewer with woodbines or buck
whert, rendering it impossible to see the lit
tie fellow laying on the ground. The result
was. that when the reaper came along to the
spot where the boy lay, he was caught in the
sickle and almost butcherd alive. Several Of
his fingers were cut off, and the right leg al
most severed from the body, both bones be.
ing snapped off, leaving the limb connected
by narrow strip of flesh. Strange to saw

know what has become of the thirty-six
millions derived from the sale of captured
cotton during the war. The question is
pretty fully answered by the Glover report,
which shows that nine millions were paid
for fees and commissions to lawyers, about
an equal amount returned to the owners of
cotton, some seven millions have disap-

ury, somebody, as yet unknown, drawing the
interest upon it. The matter is straight
enough, from Republican standpoint, and
inquiries are out of order.

RAILROAD WANTED, NOT A CONF
DENCE GAME.

RAILROAD WANTED, NOT A CONFI-
DENCE GAME.
Our esteemed friend, Hon. w. n. @. Fol-
som, berates the GLOBE in q communication
elsewhere printed for our comments upon
Bill Washburn's last confidence game. Mr..
Folsom resides at Taylors Falls, and has
waited many long and weary years for rail
road to reach him. We do not wonder at his
desire to see such an enterprise successful It
is laudable and is undoubtedly shared by the
citizens of the st. Croix valley generally.
This feeling is also sharet by the GLOBE.
Instead of being opposed to the building of
railroad to Taylors Falls, there is no firm
or friend of the enterprise than the GLOBE.
What the GLOBE objects to is the conf
dence game which Bill Washburn is en-
deavoring to perpetrate. We repeat that
there is no necessity of any town or city
giving bonus to- secure railroad to Tay-
lors Falls. The demand for bonus is SIM
ply a private speculation to put money IN
Bill Washburns private pocket. The GLOBE
objects to the people being aeeced by bank
rupt speculator. So far as Bill Washburn is
concerned the GLOBE reiterates that it Ss a pa
per railroad. The moment he had secured the
transfer of the charter, movement which cost
no money whatever, he announced that no
railroad would be built unless the towns in
terested voted handsome bonus. Now
does Mr.. Folsom imagine that Bill Wash
burn proposes to furnish any absolute money
to build this railroad? On the contrary,
does not Mr.. Folsom know that Washburn
will not supply dollar? What is his scheme
but paper railroad, for which he hopes to
get bonuses from the towns and use them as
trading capital to induce men with
means to buy him out? It is that swindling
scheme that the GLOBE exposes and opposes
and not the legitimate work of building
railroad. If Mr.. Folsom and others are so
excessively verdant as to insist upon being
bamboozled and swindled, it is their own
affair, but they need not be con6denced
owing to lack of information. The business
careers of both Bill and Cad Washburn are
so ordorous that they ought not to be able
to run another railraod confidence game
upon the people of Minnesota. If MI. Fol-
som and his associates really expect to secure
railroad to Taylors Falls, they had better
negotiate with parties who have the money
to engage in the enterprise, and not engage
the services of middleman Spectator,
whose only interest will be to fleece both the
capitalist and the people.

REPUBLICAN, MISKEPKESENTATI
The persistence with which the Republi-
can press and speakers misrepresent Il at
titude of the Democracy, while characters.
tic is unfair and decidedly dishonorable. No
party or person ever lost anything by treat
ing an opponent with fairness. No matter
how radically they may differ as to policy,
they ought to give their antagonists credit
for as great honesty and sincerity as thew
claim for themselves. By such course
they not only inspire personal respect, but
respect for the views that they entertain.
Ever since the war begun the Republican
party has accused the Democrats with trea.
sonable purposes, and this in spite of the
fact that Democratic States and communi-
ties sent larger proportion of men into
the union army than Republican States and
communities. Democratic Delaware and
New Jersey sent larger percentage of SOL
dlers to the front than Republican Maine
and Massachusetts, while the so-called trea-
sonable southern part of Illinois was more
largely represented in the army than the
loyal Republican portion to the northward
Every Democratic community at the North
filed its full quota, and in many instances
exceeded it. In the field the Democratic
regiments and corps did the heay-
lest fighting, while the Democratic com
manders achieved the highest honors for
personal daring That they were not fit
tingly rewarded was no fault of theirs.
During the last three sessions of Congress
the same cry of treason has been Haunted in
the face of the country. It has
been charged that the Democrats
in Congress intended to accomplish by leg
islation what the Southerners endeavored to
accomplish by war. The absurdity Of such
an assertion is manifest when it is under
stood that the leaders of the Democratic

was four neatly built stacks of grain forty
rods southeast Of the Adventist church.

was cut, and looked bright and good. Turn
ing southeast, leaving the poor farm road,
our inclinations led Us towards Good Thur

evidences in the shape of massive tree trunks
on one hand and branches on the other bear
due testimony to the terrific force Of the
storm that passed over this section some
weeks ago. Following what appeared
to be q we'll travelled thoroughfare,

iron bridge companies in the country. We
next struck the hail beaten district. In

The Republican party never was stronger or

in his deed, and one OF the latter's chief
absttors. who. after dspositing the
casket and contents near the altar. an
nounced his intention Of addressing the
audience; but this he was prevented
from doing by threats OF arrests. The
Adventists. who in their blind supersti-
ton fully believed that the dead child
will be resurrectsd or else bodily trans.
lated to heaven. are deeply mortified
that their prophecies should result in SO
apparent q non.fulfllment. After the
funeral service in the church the body
was removed to the village cemetery
hard by and deposited in the grave.
Davis, the Adventist fanatic. mounted
the tombstone and began an address to
the crowd assembled. attempting to
prove Freeman was justified by God in
killing his child, but was prevented by
the crowd. who compelled him to desist.
The casket was then covered with earth.
The Adventists having threatened to
remove the body and throw 1t into the
waters near by, that the climax to the
sacrifice may not be interfered with,
Sheriff's officers have guarded the grave
and will remain on watch until morning.
