BRAGG BANQUETED.
He Surprises the Mexican Politi-
clans by His Candid Utter

clans by His Candid Utter
anceS.
CITY OF MEXICO, March GA BAN
quet in honor of Gen. Bragg, the new
United States minister, was given yes
terday by American residents. Lead
ing officials of the Mexican government
and number of the press were present.
Consul General More presided Gen.
Bragg made significant speech, which
was well received. He said that the
United States wanted no more territory
and only desired for Mexico a continual
ton of its liberal government. He
stated that the United States would be
opposed to any attempt to overthrow
free institutions in Mexico, and inti-
mated that so long as liberalism was
predominant in the Mexican admins
tration, only the most cordial good will
would be shown this country, but that
the people of the United States, enjoy
ing free institutions and their resultant
blessings, would not look favOrably on
reactionary governments here. He
hoped to see the commercial relations of
the two countries grow closer and closer,
and good feeling continue to exist be-
tween the nations, which must forever
be neighborS. The speech is regarded
as indicating the sympathy of President
'Cleveland's administration with the
present liberal administration here, and
as being plain indication that the re-
dictionary party, which is thought to
favor mOnarchial form of government,
will never be permitted to carry its
designs into execution. The speech
made profound impression and is q
topic of discussion i'm political circles.
No recent utterance of the United States
representatives here has attracted such
widespread attention. and liberal politi-
clans say that Gen. Bragg's discourse
has certainly the merit of candor.

tirely Destroyed

MILWAUKEE, March 23.-The w. III.

given at present, amounts to about
s250,000. The factory was insured for
about $4,000. The valuable machinery
and the stock manufactured during last
winter, as well as hundreds of feet of
lumber, were consumed and are total
loss. Several houses standing opposite
the factory were badly scOrched, but
did not catch fire. The saloon Of G. Ii.

Brewing company. Surrounding lum-
Der yards were in great danger for
some time, but the fire was under con-
troll by 10 o'clock.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
Strange Coincidence Regarding a
Train Accident.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, March pa
train of the New Haven Il Northamp-
ton road Tuesday night ran into land
slide near Conway junction. Engineer
Burke saw small storm coming down
the face of high cut, and supposed it
was water. He was on the landslide
before he was aware of the situation.
He stopped the train, when a large
body of earth slid down, struck the train
and carried it from the track to the very
edge of the embankment, which is
eighty feet high. The accident occurred
only mile and half from the scene
of the Bardwell disaster, and to the
very train that first brought the news
of the wreck to the telegraph station.
1t was also the same night of the week,
and the same month of the year.

SIOUX Cry, To-, March 22.-M. Es
Crowther, postmaster and attorney, OF
Correctionville, this county, is missing.
Last Thursday he borrowed $500 from
parties in that town and said he was
coming to Sioux City to attend to mat
ters before the court. He never came,
and inquiry being made as to the reason,
his friend, O. j Blodget, came over to
try and get clue to his whereabouts.
His private business is said to be in a
bad shape, but it is not known that
there is any shortage in the pOstoffice
accounts. Crowther is the same man
who last fall issued checks on several
banks where he had no money on de-
posit, just to help some of his friends
out who were over here attending con-
ventiOn and had run out of funds. O..
Plato is in the city to-day getting in
dOrsements for the poStoffice held by
Crowthers. j. IL. Cornell, far mer
and mill owner of the same town, is
also missing, and as all his property is
heavily mOrtgaged, it is supposed that

A FORGER AT COLLEGE.
A Youth From kentucky Who Put
Other Mems Names on CONNER
ciaI PAPER.


ANN ARBOR, Mich, March GA
little over a year ago young man, pre-
possessing in appearance, and appar-
antly wealthy, came to the university
and entered the class of 80. He gave
the name of John V. Campbell, of New
port. KY, and bore papers from De
Pauw University of Indiana. He be-
came the lion of social circles by his
brilliancy and reputed wealth, and
Joined the Psi Upsilon society, the best
in the college. He bore letters Of
credit for a large amount, purporting
to be signed by the president of the col
lege from which he came. Rumors of
crookedness in which this young man
was concerned were confirmed by his
dismissal from the university to-day,
and President ADgell says all his letters
of credit were forged. The forged sig
natures were perfect fac SMILES of the
handwriting of the president of the DE
PAW college, who is personal friend
to DR.. Angel. Owing to this fact the
success of this scheme was due, as the
intimate acquaintance of the two men
and the perfect imitation of the writing
prevented DR.. Angel from suspecting
any forgery. Campbell has been eX-
PEELED, and Ann Arbor society mOurnS.

One-Fifth Mortgaged.

Special to the GLOBE.
RED WING, March pa review of
the books of the register of deeds re-
veals the rather startling news that
1927 mortgages, aggregating S1,65O.50O,
are held by residents of Goodhue county
on property within the county. Proba-
bly, one third of this amount is paid, but
considering the fact that large number
of mortgages are held by outside parties
which are not assessable, and are not
included in the above list, the above
total very nearly represents the aggre-
gate of mortgages in the county. The
assessed valuation on real estate is 81
776, ,792. However. it will be seen that
that nearly one-ffth of the face value
of the real estate represents borrowed
capital. On an average there is mort
gage of $3.50 On every acre of land in
the county. These figures seem sur
prisingly large, yet it is generally con-
ceded that they will compare favorably
with any in the state.
