apply that appeal to some of our

adifferent view of the license question.

THE following IS Harlan W. Pages
statement Of his connection with the old
St. Cloud, Mankato & Austin r. H. Co.,
about which there has been so much
| noise. This statement was made by Mr.
Page at public meeting of the Austin
Board of Trade on the evening of March
%. Mr.. Officer also made similar state.
mcnt. The Board of Trade on the same
evening authorized the President to ap
point a committee Of three to investigate
as to the transfer of the franchises of the
railroad company referred to. Last week
President D. B. Smith announced his
appointment Of the committee as follows
Mayor Lafayette French. E. G. Dorr and
Z. w. Taylor.
No representation was made by Messrs
Gilman, Baker, Campbell and Officer. MOI
was there any conference in my presence
or to my knowledge looking to any sale
or transfer which did not contemplate the
speedy building of the road. So far as
any fraud upon stockholders is con
cerned, know Of none. certainly was
not party to any. | stated distinctly
to our stockholders at Austin that the
men who were to build the road would
| not put their money in unless they could
| control it, and that in order to control it
they required an assignment of the stock
to them. l assigned my stock and gave
in my written resignation as director
to be accepted whenever the new stock
holders choose to elect my successor. l
believed the road was to be built, and on
the strength of that belief spent good
portion of the next six months in aiding,
to the best of my ability, in securing the
required bonuses along the line. 1t is
to this day my confident belief that the
parties with whom we negotiated fully
intended to build the road, and that they
would have done so had they not been
1888 and 1884. No citizen along the line
can be more disappointed than have been,
nor more mortified and chagrined at the
collapse of the enterprise, in which 1
worked hard for more than four years.
As to the books of the company, they
were, as I have reason to believe, turned
over to the attorney of the parties with
whom we contracted. I have not seen
them since they left Gen. Bakers hands,
nor since November, 1889. The Austin.
Mankato s. st. Cloud railroad issued
700 shares OF stock, nearly all of which
were absolutely transferred to the:RailwaY
Construction Company of North America
for $40 share. They agreed to build
the whole road. I believe the present
agitation has to considerable extent q
political bearing. Mr.. Officer. myself,
Gen. Bishop and others were anxious to
testify before the last legislative commit
tee, but were never summoned.

A Word to Workers,

If your avocations are mentally or phys
icaly laborious, if they confine you to the
desk, and are of a nature to involve wear
and tear of brain, and nervous strain. you
may occasionally require some renovating
tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
article for you, it stimulates the failing ener-
gies, invigorates the body and cheers the
mind. It enables the system to throw off the
facilitating effects of undue fatigue, gives
renewed vigor to the organs of digestion,
arouses the liver when inactive, which it very
often is with people whose pursuits are
sedentary, renews the jaded appetite, and
encourages healthful repose. Its ingredients
are safe, and its credentials, which consist
i'll the hearty endorsement of persons of
every class of society. are most convicting.
Admirably is i. adapted to the medical wants
of workers.
