THE RECORD :
THE COURTS.
s,spre,,.e Court.

6uPT6WS OVWTts
John Glaspie, respondent, VS.. William F..
Gleason, appellant.
Syllabus-The complaint sets forth writ
ten contract by which plaintiff agreed, within
a specified time, to drive into the boom at
saltwater all logs of defendant of certain
mark, amounting to 1886, 900 feet, then landed
on the bank of the Kettle river, for which de-
PENDANT agreed to pay him seventy-fve cents
Der 1 1000 feet as soon as the logs should be
driven into the boom, and all liens for laborers
wages paid.
The complaint alleges full performance by
plaintiff and claims the full contract price.
The answer denies performance by plaintiff,
alleges RECESSION of the contract, and that the
defendant drove all the logs himself. On the
trial plaintiff made prima facie case by proof
that within the time he drove all the logs
which, when he came along with his drive,
were landed on the bank of the river. Defend
ant proved that before this he drove the great.
er part of the logs, himself.
The Jury found there was no RECESSION OF
the contract. q ig,5, IL, ,., ...s;s L i, !.
Held, That plaintiff was entitled to least
nominal damages. Also, that although
plaintiff was defendant from fully performing
the contract, the contract price was not the
measure of damages, but that the proper
measure of damages was the difference sbes
tween the contract price and what It, would
have cost plaintiff to perform, together with
any sums he may have necessarily expended
before he knew of defendants refusal to abide
by the contract, in making preparations to
perform, and which sums have been necessar..
ily.lost to him by defendants breach of the
contract. The whole damages not exceeding
the contract price. 81
Order reversed and new trial ordered.

AN indignant correspondent at Grand
Forks ventilates the gang of MINI eapolis
timber thieves who are stripping that
section of country of pine by stealing it
from government land. AS Grand Forks
is in Dakota Territory the people there
are entitled to some consideration, but
the Minnesotians deserve no commissera-
ton. The GLOBE pointed out the matter
when Mr.. Washburn first ran for Con-
gress, and warned the people of the upper
country that vote for him was forging
oppressive chains upon themselves. They
did not see fit to heed the warning, and,
having elected him, they must take their
chances. The GLOBE has little sympathy
to waste on a man who voted for Bill
Washburn for Congress.

A NEW ENTERPRLSE.

st. Paul Brought to the Front by the
American News Company Of New York.
The American News company is one of the
notable business enterprises of the American
continent. It was established about twenty
years ago in the city of New York for the
purpose of supplying dealers with newspapers,
periodicals., &c. From time to time the COM
pany extended its business, establishing
branches at every important point in the
United States and even in the Canadas. These
branches were located with business acumen,
and no point was selected without thorough
examination of the business prospect from
every point of view. Year by year the con-
tinent has been scanned with practicsd bust
ness eyes, and no branch was established with
ont certain knowledge of its importance,
both present and prospective. During the
twenty years twenty-seven points have been
selected as the great centers from which to
supply the great newspaper and periodical
trade. The last, or twenty-seventh point
selected is st. Paul, and for some tune
past the company has been
fitting up an office and store at No. Is West
Third street, and in few DAYS it will be open
ed and in working order under the charge of
Mr.. j. F. Hamilton, as agent. The mportance
of this agency will be fully appreciated by all
news dealers throughout the entire Northwest,
and it's establishment here shows that this
immense News company recognizes that St..
Paul is the central point for all the great
Northwest.
The following is the official announcement
of the company:
The American News Company, 80 and Al

THE NATIONAL CAME

Standing Of the League Clubs in the Race
for the Championshfp-Fiv Five Consecutive
d. feats for the Chicagos.
The ball play last week furnished the sur
prlses of the season. The play was at De-
troit, Cleveland Buffalo and Providence. Pre-
vious to the departure of the Chicagos from
home, the Times, commenting on the stand
ing of the various clubs, remarked that some
important changes might be expected in
their respective positions. The changes have
been made, but they were different than ex-
|pected by the Times, the home club having
suffered I've consecutive defeats, three at the
hands of the Buff,los and two by the Detroits,
reducing their lead from sew n to four games
In the same time the Providence suffered
five defeats. In both cases the element
of luck played an important
part. Especially is this true with the Prov
idence club, which squarly outplayed its op-
ponents in four Of the games-getting more
hits and making less errors--but their hits
being scattered and errors fatal, they lost the
games. The following is

The Eau Claire Mill strike.

Advices of yesterday from Eau Claire rep
resent that some of the mills were started
Yesterday, but with small crews and no imme,
date prospect of obtaining enough men
Some of the strikers have already left for the
harvest fields, and those who remain in the
city utterly refuse to return to mill work,
except their demands are conceded Part OF
the militia force was expected to leave last
night, and it is probable the other companies
will be retained only u day or two. In this
connection a business man of Eau Claire, to
correct an erroneous impression in earlier re-
ports of the affair, wishes to have it stated
that the troops were called out not to protect
the citizens or property OF Eau Claire from ap-
pretended danger, for none was apprehended,
but to give confidence to men who were sup
posed to be willing to resume work, that they
would be protected from interference by the
strikers.

THE TAX LAW.

The agitation which is going on relative
to the oppressive tax law passed last
winter, will at least put people on their
guard who are in danger of losing their
property. 1t may have the further effect
of leading to combined effort of those
interested, to test the law. and contest
is reasonably sure to destroy the proposed
forfeiture sale.
The effort on the part of the State
Auditor to make an economical adver-
tisement, led him to issue instructions to
County Auditors to include the tax sale
for 1880 in the advertisement of the for
feited sale which according to law
should only cover the taxes
delinquent for 1879 and prior years. The
theory upon which this was done was
that the property was already owned by
the State, and hence the tax of 1880 has
no right of redemption attached. If this
is the case why did the State Auditor ad
vertise the owners names! Upon his
theory the State is already owner
and still he announces to the
alleged owners that they can come in and
save their property by paying all delin-
quent taxes and also the tax of 1880,
which is not yet delinquent to
to the extent of forfeiture. In either
event the advertisement is invalid If
the property belongs to the State already,
then the former owners have nothing
to do with it, and are not holden
for any tax. If it does not belong
to the State, the right of redemption on
the tax of 1880 has not expired. and the
absolute forfeiture contemplated cannot
be made. In any case the advertise
ment is illegal, and no legal sale can be
made under it.
The law in its general features has
many unjust provisions, but the con-
structions placed upon 1t by smart indi-
viduals like the auditor in this county
are more odioas than the law itself. The
law Is bad enough but its administration
is worse.

Hunting the williams Brothers by Rail

Hunting the Williams Brothers by Rail
A we'll known business man from this CITY
returned home yesterday from trip through
certain portions of Wisconsin. He is well
acquainted with most of the leading business
men in northern Wisconsin, particularly in
Hudson. AS the readers of the GLOBE are
well aware, nearly all the residents of the
Badger State are endeavOrlng to immortallze
themselves by capturing the noted Williams
brothers, and thus rival Minnesota in the
chase after and capture of the Younger broth
ers. Among the ambitious spirits who thus
desire to inscribe their names on flames i'm
mortal ground" were party of seven heroes
from Hudson, who armed themselves and
confidently informed their friends that they
would capture the noted desperadoes as well
rs the S2,700 offered for their arrest. This
band OF heroes was composed of A. W.
swain, Jes Woods, Nat Bartlett, Andrew Wit
myer, Jim Van Meter, Frank Granger and
Col. Maclenen. They boldly boarded train
at Hudson and started for the front.
They kept their courage up bravely until the
train arrived at Baldwin, when reckless small
boy discharged fire cracker, at which the
band became demoralized and the boys say
that Ned Bartlett jumped from the train and
made his way home on foot, under cover Of
the night. Frank Granger also weakened and
concluded that good men were too scarce to
risk their lives in such dangerous campaign.
The balance of the party stuck manfully to
their seats in the cars and determined to do or
die. On their arrival at Menomonee they
learned that the desperadoes had broken cover
and were within few miles of Winona This
information settled the question. There was
no glory in hunting outlaws in that section,
and they at once stacked arms upon the plat
form of the depot and heroically waited for
the up train and returned home. It was one
of the most mastery advances made during
the exciting campaign now being waged upon
the romantic banks of the Eau Gale. 1t was
no fault of the "boys" that they did not cap
ture the outlaws, but they have demonstrated
the fact that even such desperate characters as
the Williams Brothers can be hunted for by
rail.

The Best Remedy for Chappsd Hands
Is Hegeman's Camphor Ice. 1t should be
rubbed upon the part affected. The warmth
of the skin will soften it sufficiently, under
ordinary circumstances, but in extreme cold
weather it may be necessary to warm It by the
lire. If the hands are badly chapped, apply
Every night, and protect the hands by wearing
an old pair of kid gloves. Hegemar's is the
best and most popular ofal1 the Camphor
Ices made. Hegeman's Cnmphor Ice is also q
cure for sore lips, chapped face, and sunburn.
It is compounded with glycerine, which rem
ders it more enrolment than any other Cam
phor Ice, and will be found most soothing
application to the face after shaving.
Be sure to ask for Hegeman's formerly
made by Hegeman & Co., New York, and now
made by the Metropolitan Med. Co., of New
Haven, Conn. y and do not be put off with any
other compound which may become rancid
and do you more harm than good. Hege-
mans Camphor Ice never fails.
