New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-02-20


Gi--e>e-a-Aa org When they we're found
guilty large number of citizens of Douglas
county, including eleven of the jury who con-
victed them, signed petition to the governor
asking that Noes sentence be committed.
Gov Merriam declined to interfere at the
time, and issued his warrantfor the execution
of both. During the past week several gentle
men, including Judge Searle, who presided at
the trial called on the governor, and as a re-
suit of their conversation on the subject and
a careful examination of the testimony in the
case, Gov, Merriam came to the conclusion
that Noes participation in the crime was
while he was in an almost irresponsible state
of drunkenness, and that the ends of justice
would be fully served by his imprison-
ment for life. The confession made
by Lee in which he admitted the killing of
Chalin and exonorated Moe of all knowl-
edge of the crime or its cause, also had con.
siderable effect on the governors decision.
From legal standpoint, in view of the
strict Interpretation of thelaw on murderous
conspiracy, it was inevitable that when tried
together both should be convicted but the
governor felt that there were good reasons
for sparing the life of man who was an ac-
cessory while under the influence OF liquor.
A telegram was sent to Sheriff De Frate an
nouncing the governors decision and stating
that Communication papers would be forward
ed by the orning train.

"From this it will be seen that the
great summer resort of Colorado
exhibits three times as great mortality
as Idaho, while California shows near
~ five times the mortality, and Flor-
ida three times.
"The Territory abounds in hot and
cold springs which can not be ex-
celled, and lakes whose waters are as
crystal are plentifully scattered
throughout the Territory. The larg-
est of these are Ceur d'Alene and
Pend d'Oreille. Lake Occur d'Alene
is about 80 miles long and 4 miles
wide, on which daily line of steam
ers runs.
"Lake Pend d'Oreille is admittedly
one of the most beautiful sheets of
water in the United States. 1t is
about GO miles long and s miles wide,
the shores OF which gradually rise
from its sides, covered with beautiful
trees, grasses, and ferns. Kanishu
Lake is about 20 miles long and 10
miles wide. Hundreds OF other lakes
nestle in the wales, and add peculiar
charm to the grand and majestic
mountain scenery. A recent writer,
speaking of Idaho as pleasure and
health resort, says:
=" No region Of similar extent on
the globe can compare with Idaho in
the number, variety, and merit Of
attractions for the pleasure and
health-seeker. The enchanting beauty
of its many Alpine lakes, the majesty
and splendor of its thousands Of
snow-clad peaks, towering, as they do
above the peaceful landscapes Of its
lovelest wales, and the indescribable
glory of its wondrous cataracts il
the depths of its grandest canyons o,
earth enrapture artist and poet alike

every breath is a tonic, and to partak

Idaho alone will have 100000 people
within eight years, and South Idaho
will have double or treble the number
if Statehood is given. Between
100000 and 1900. 900 acres of land
in Idaho are now under improvement,
and within the region of 100000
acres of agricultural land has been
patented. Five hundred thousand
acres of agricultural land was taken
up last year under the various entries,
"When you consider that Rhode
Island contains less than 10000 acres
of land, you can form some idea Of
the present condition and future
possibilities of the agricultural re
sources of this Territory. The forest
area of Idaho is 100000 acres, and
the growth is heavier than in a ma
jority of the timbered States east of
the Rocky Mountains. There are
varieties of fir, white, red, and black
spruce, scrub oak, yellow and white
pine, mountain mahogany, juniper,
tamarack, birch cottonwood, alder,
and willow.
"Such a prodigious amount of
timber to the acre can be found in no
other part of the United States, ex-
cept on the western slopes of the
western mountains IN Washington
Territory. Tie timber is Of large
growth and magnificent for lumber
ing purposes. White pine logs 5 feet
in diameter, 100 feet long, without a
knot, and straight as an arrow, are
common.
"Nine million dollars of gold,
silver, aud lead was produced last
year, and you might say that mining
is in its infancy in the Territory
Experts say that it is the best of all
the mining States or Territories
Rich copper mines have also been
discovered.
"The property valuation of the
Territory is estimated at $60,000,000

France and Switzerland and part Of

Centennial Day in Alma.

The day was duly observed by the
ringing of bells, the display of the
national banner from the different
flag staffs, and an address at College
Hall by Rev. Theodore Nelson. Mr..
Nelson has long been esteemed an
especial favorite. by the people of
Gratiot Co., and especially by those of
Alma, who have witnessed so many
proofs of his eminent mental and moral
worth, ana his high scholastic attain
ments; and this address afforded one
more indubitable proof of his eminent
ability as statesman and an orator.
The exercises commenced at College
Hall, where large and appreciative
audience had assembled, at half past
ten o'clock, by music, flynn to
Washington" by the College choir,
followed by reading of the scriptures
by Rev. DR.. Hunting, and prayer by
Rev. DR.. Brooks. The choir then sang
"a sacred selection, after which came
the address by Rey. DR.. Nelson, which,
as an eulogy upon Washington, and
his compatrlots, as a just and appre-
ciative estimate of the blessings
enjoyed under our form of government,
and very vivid exposition of the
evils and dangers which threaten it's
perpetuity, was master piece of ora
tory, delivered with that fervid
eloquence for which DR.. Nelson is
justly celebrated. The singing of
America" by the choir, in which the
audience joined, and the benediction
by the Rev. DR.. Brooks, closed the
exercises.

a poRclNE PARADOX.

In Incident OF Interest 60 Psychologists.
SoiontIstS and DodeS.
The strange story which floats in
from Freehold. N. j., concerning the
learned pig whose intelligence SO
whetted the curiosity Of the Free
holders that they killed him in order
to analyze his thinker" is q chal-
lenge to scientists and Psychologists.
The porcine brain cavity was empty.
thine was that when the brains were
out, the man would die" observed the
immortal William. But now it ap-
pears-that is, if the Freehold story
be a true oue-that when the brains
are out the pig may live, and not only
live but exhibit so many fine intel
lectual qualities as to endear him self
to a wide circle of distinguished and
admiring humans. 1t is, indeed,
somewhat difficult to believe the rela-
ton; for If the Freehold pig was ut
terly brainless, how did his sensi-
motor functions operate, to say moth
ing of his other cerebral arrange
ments. It is to be feared that the
Freehold pig has no concrete exist
ence. and never had; that he is the in
ventinn-the idea. so to say-of some
New Jersey mind yearning for proof
of the possibility Of existence without
brains. And what soaring ambition
is here, when one comes TO reflect
upon it. Science of tho materialist
order is assailed with dreadful shock
by the Freehold pig. and the evolu-
tionary theory is wrecked upon this
rock.
For what becomes OF all the discus
sions about the transformation Of phos-
phorus into thought, about the in
creasing perplexity of the brain con.
volutions with the progress of intelli.
gence, about the correspondence be-
tween cerebral organs and mental
conditions. if a learned pig can estab.
lish his r,putution upon an empty
Uranium? 1t is q revolution and moth
ing less; for be it observed that the
mental eminencc OF the Freehold pig
was conditional upon his entire free
dom from brains; and if n pig can dis
tinguish himself under these circum-
stances, why not man, or any num-
Der Of men? 1t is sometimes said OF
an erratic genius that he has "too
much brains" Hereafter it may have
to be predicated Of great men that
they have no brains at all, and persons
like Daniel Webster, who carry fifty
four ounces of cerebral substance, will
be viewed with suspicion, if not cata-
logued at once as lunatics. The OPP
portunity is to the dudes. in short.
The ranks OF the number six heads
are led by the phantom of the Free
hold pig, and the procession is i'm.
mense. All it waits for at present is
little more definite information con-
corning the initial facts. Y. Trib.

INDIAN OPIUM FIENDS.
Fearful Prevalence of n Habit Worse Than
That OF D Drunkard.

That OF Drunlxard.
In almost any village of Guzerat, if
not in all, you may see among the Hin
docs the listless, apathetic manner and
dull, sleepy eye OF the opium-eater
Anywhere there it is only necessary to
ask for a. little knsumba 10 be offered il
on all sides. The mode of making
that drink is not pleasant to see. A
little crude opium is produced and
placed on a small ball of raw cotton.
! he maker holds this in the palm of
his hand and pours little water on it.
He kneads the opium into the wet cot
ton and goes on pouring water till the
cotton is saturated with brown fluid.
He then squeezes it out as from q
sponge into the palm of his hand, and
you are invited to sit on the ground
while he pours the dirty stuff into
your mouth from still dirtier hand.
The opium-eater is always dirty. Those
people ask but little food. Opium
eaters have no appetite. They will
work just as much as they are COM
peeled to do in order to procure their
drug. Ask them why their fields are
uncultivated or half-tilled and they
say; Look at tho labor we should
have to undertake." They listlessly
drag one foot after another. silent and
half asleep. In one village the reply
given to an inquirer, who asked II the
people were we'll of, was: How could
we be when opium is 80 dearP" No
wonder the active little Mahrattas
walked through this country. Accord
Ing to the London Globe, more than
half tho outlawry Of the province is
due tn opium smuggling. Where the
cultivators have managed to keep to
certain extent free from the opium
