A RECONCILIATION.
lCnmmnnioatedl


A genuine surprise awaited the audi.
ence at the Baptist church Sunday
morning, WI Rev. +. L. Patterson ap.
peared before the congregation with an
acknowledgment to the church, asking
forgiveness for whatever had been
| wrong in spirit or conduct in his rela-
tons with them in the past. A commit
tee was appointed TO prepare response
to be presented at the evening service.
The report of the committee, which. APP
pears below, was adopted by the church
by rising vote, as true expression of
their feelings in this matter. After the
benedIction by Rev. Patterson a season
Of general rejoicing and hand shaking
followed. Thus ends painful chapter
of church history, and no one is more
thankful for the final contamination than
the present pastor. 1t is surely q tri-
umph ofgrace which should thrill Christ
ian hearts of everyone, and is prophe-
cy Of untold good to the entire COM
munity in the years to come. The re-
solutions adopted are as follows:
WHEREAS, Trouble and unkind feeling
have existed between Rev. f. l.. Patter-
son and the LIST Baptist church of Man
kato, growing out of matters that hap
pened while he was pastor of the church,

been shown on both sides since, and he
having appeared before. the church,
made confession and asked forgiveness;
therefore,
Resotved, That we recognize in this the
true spirit of the Master, that we freely
forgive our brother, and in turn ask for
giveness for all that has not been in ac-
cordance with the teachings of Christ
We deeply regret the occurrences of the
past, but believing this reconciliation to
be the direct result of the leading of the
Spirit, we rejoice in this manifestation of
His power to mould and guide human
wills and hearts 30 that they shall come
into subsection to Christ, and manifest
His Spirit Burying the bitter memoir
les OF the past, we are resolved to 'fpress
toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus"
We cordially invite our brother to hear
tilv unite with us in all our services, and
preach to us on invitation of our pastor.

of instruction Of his own that is quite
peculiar, nevertheless very thorough, eff
fective and highly practicable. He is
the author of a textbook ON civil gov
eminent, which has just been published
and promises to become favorite text
book with teachers. The committee was
also favorably impressed with Prof.
Cushing's department of philosophy.
This is one of the strongest departments
in the school and isjustly popular among
the students. The committee was quite
lavish in its praise of the work done by
Miss Nellie G. Hutchinson in the primary
department of the model school, partic-
ularly in regard to the musical instruc-
ton. This was under the immediate
supervision of pupil teachers. The
marked progress that has been made by
the little tots proves the instruction to
be of an unusually effective character.
While the committee was particularly
enthusiastic over these three depart
ments, each of departments received a
liberal share of attention and praise.
Several members expressed themselves
as much surprised at the superior at
tainments of the members of the faculty
as compared with those of other Normal
schools. Just before the school was dis
missed Senator Swenson requested that
all students of Scandinavian parentage
he asked to arise in order that he might
see what proportion of the students be-
long to that nationality. Twenty-eight
stood up, but it is estimated that about
fifty really belong to that class.

claim amounting to $50, held by Mons
Anderson, of La Crosse. The total liza

Dets about the same. Mr.. Hamburg is
trying to make arrangements whereby
the claims of the creditors will be salts
fed and the business allowed to 90 on.
In case this is not possible it If expected
that an assignment will he made.
Among the creditors there is but one
Mankato firm, Carl Dice, who has claims
amounting to little over 500. Mr..
Hamburg has been in business in Lake
CRYSTAL only about four months. He
moved from this city, where he was the
successor of the Christensen Bros. The
firm of Olsen, Nelson & Peterson, which
bought him out, has nothing to do with
his firm. The failure is attributed to a
lack of capital and poor business.

be very sorry to learn OF the misfortune
which has oyerlaken him and his estimable
family.

was sent to to the Insane asylum at Indi-
annapolis this morning. Csmpbell's case Is
peculiarly sad. A few years ago he mar
ried Miss Clara Soden, the daughter OF

The many friends of Frank Campbell,
the young railroader, will be grieved TO
learn hat the suferingS attendant upon
injuries received by him in wreck on a
western railroad some months ago have
unbalanced his mind. This morning be

Locked Up Under a Charge of
Grand Larceny.

William Striker, a merchant at
Marshall, came here yesterday, and
with the assistance of Marshal Prem
tice, arrested travelling outfit
camped near Flat Greek bridge, on a
charge of having stolen two sets of
harness and a saddle belonging to
him. The outfit consisted of a rickety
spring wagon drawn by pair of nall.
starved horses, two men and woman.
One of the men fed, but the other,
with the woman, were captured. The
man gave his name as Jim Willis and
the woman claimed to be the wife of
Joe Cooper, the man who had escaped.
The stolen property was found in
the wagon. The prisoners were lock-
ed up to await orders from Saline
county.
Striker claims that the parties
travel around the county like rowing
Gypsies and follow the business of
stealing and that while passing
through Marshall day or two ago
they nipped the articles above stated.
Striker soon got on track of the party
and followed them here. The parties,
however, claim to be honest citizens
enroute to Arkansas to visit relatives.
