A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

An Increase in the Capital Stock Of the St.Paul
: Harvester WOrks-An Important Addition
to the Manufacturing interests of St. Paul
A little more than eight years ago Mr.. E. M.
Dean and few other gentlemen associated
themselves as the St Paul Harvester Works
The project was attended by an the discourag
ing circumstances that new enterprises have to
encounter. The company had to win for it's
machines place and record in the field, in
competition with older and wealthier man
ufacturers. Under the able management
OF Mr.. Dean the company has advanced steadi-
~ to an assured success and by it's last increase
Of capital stock to $1,000, 600 has already
grown to be six times as large as it was orig
mally,. and is now sending it's unequalled ma
chimes into the remotest wheat fields and
meadows OF the country. The demand for the
machines this season more than absorbed the
entire product Of the factory before the season
fairly opened and compelled the corporation to
double the. force and run it's work day and
night to meet the demand of the trade. The
machines have made q record in the
Held second to none, and the trade
has covered q larger territory than ever
before. A strong demand from abroad has been
made upon the company for machines, and it
is the intention to meet this demand during the
coming year. Special attention will also be
gwen to the manufacture of their new mower,
which with it's center draft and six foot cut is
sure to supersede the old style moving ma
chimes that have been 80 long in use ''1&
This rapid increase of business has COM
PEELED the corporation to enlarge it's works.
Contracts have been let for the construction OF
large brick factory which will quadruple the
manufacturing capacity. The work is already
under way and the building will be ready for
occupancy by W inter. The old factory starts
next week upon the work Of the com
ing year: 1t will be in charge of
Mr.. Q. + Corning, the superintendent, assist
I'D by Mr.. Henry Brand. These gen tlemen
have been associated with the works from the
acquired more than a local reputation.
Ire increase of business has also compelled
an q largement of the Office organization. Mr.
J. E. Miller has resigned his position as secre-
tary and treasurer in order to take charge of
the purcha sing department Mr.. W. B. Bend
has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr.. Miller. Mr.. J. H. Ran
dali remains as cashier and bookkeeper. Thus
equipped, and with vastly increased facilities
and means, this corporation stands in the front
rank Of the manufacturing interests Of the
Northwest 2&n .-

~1't The Presidents Treatment.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record. N'j :.s.
Whatever may be the result of the case, it is
due to the gentlemen in charge to say that the
treatment has been skillful from the start, and
that every means has been used to mitigate the
sufferings Of the patient, aud to ward of every
possible danger from all threatened complica-
TONS As might have been expected, the man
agement of the case has been open to much
criticism by the secular press. It is to the
credit of the profession, and especially of the
gentlemen in charge of the case, that 80 little
can be said concerning what might have been
done and what was not done. Despite the
journalistic prescribers in some of our leading
dailies, the people have continued to maintain
confidence in the attending and consulting
surgeons which is as gratifying as it is neces-
sary. There seems very justly to be to be but
one sentiment entertained both by the profess
sion and the public regarding the judicious
manner in which this case has been treated .

Mr. HIT, the assistant secretary of
state and the newspapers, which we, anx-
ious to return the Nihilist to the tender
mercies of the Russian despot, have been
compelled to reconsider their immature
notions, and now admit the improperly of
molesting him, in the absence of an ex-
tradition treaty. Mr.. Blaine has virtually
disavowed the nonsense of Mr.. Hit, and
is not likely to follow the advice of the
journals who have lost their heads over
Hartmann. But it is somewhat humiliating
that man whom France refusd to deliver
up to Russia, and to whom England gave
an asylum, was, as means of safety COM
PEELED to leave the United States and
take refuge in Canada, owing to
the blood thirsty threats of people who
have no conception of the true mission of
the American republic. Had the mythical
shooting of the tyrant Gessler by William
Tell, occurred in this year Of our Lord, such
people would have denied Tell the right of
asylum and the protection of the flag Of the
free; and after the revolution of 1913 they
would have sent back to Prussia the patri-
otto Carl Schurz, who had sought refuge in
America; and have done any other snobbly
and trucking act to curry 4, the
favor of European despots. One of the
most level-headed journals in the coun-
try, the Springfield Republican, is move
to say that2a more ridiculous and discour-
aging spectacle has not been seen for long
time than respectable American journal
calling frantically upon our government to
seize Hartmann without law and abduct
him into the hands of the Russian police
It is discouraging because it, shows how
few men supposed to be fairly intelligent
habitually think of the American govern
ment as government of precisely defined
powers, and not an arbitrary power which
may do what it pleases.4 The truth is that
the aristoratc element of American life is
fast showing it's iron hand, and has found
a faithful ally in that snobby but powerful
class, born Of hastily gathered riches.
These classes are intent upon changing the
character of our government, and are pow
erful enough to control many strong indu-
ences leading ii that direction. fI...

by any attorneys stating that officers and SOL
diers of the late war who were honorably dis
charged, etc are entitled to 100 acres Of gov
eminent land under the homestead laws. which
can be entered by an agent or attorney for the
soldier are deceptive and false, and are calcu-
lated and intended to impose upon and mis-
lead the persons to whom they are addressed.
You will inform all such persons that actual

BANK TROUBLES.

HUNNEwELL, NeY. 29.-The excitement
at Caldwell still continues at fever heat
Threats are made and will be carried out
that Danford must settle before tomorrow
or die. At Hunnewell, Cashier Bowers
settled with depositors with collaterals,
real estate, etc, and paid up within $3, 600
of the Indebtedness. His course seems to
give satisfaction to every one. The de
posits at Caldwell were about $50, 600.
AS all the collaterals, books, etc, were re-
moved to Newton, it is impossible to tell
how far they will go toward paying up.
Danford has offered to pay part, but the
depositors refuse to settle. A heavy guard
watches Smith and Danford day and night.
Sheriff Sherell left for Wellington to day.
He says he can do nothing against the mob
and with Danford it is settle or die
The feeling is greatly aggravated by the
fact that Danford assigned all his real
estate to Col. Hood, of Emporia, Saturday
night; that he offered the guards $4,000
each while being brought back, to let him
escape, and on account of the removal Of
the Caldwell property from the bank on
Saturday. which he took with him to New
ton. although deposits were received up to
the last minute. At meeting q commit
tee of determined men were sent after F.
A. Tanner, with Instructions to bring him
at all hazards. Tanner is thought to have
something to do with the removal of col
laterals. Danford told the cashier here
that he had just disposed of the Carbon
dale bank. The bank building at Lyndel
was finished but not open for business. 1t
is reported that Danford had disposed of
Hunnewell city bonds to the amount of
$780, to parties in New York.

This amount includes the collection of in
