SHERIFF GEDDEs received telegram
Tuesday asking him TO 60 to Wells and
take charge of crazy man named
Herald Monk, and whose family resides
in this city. The man, who is ravIng
manic, had been brought into Wells by
three farmers and spent last night in
Jail there. He piled the bed clothes
against the door of his cell and, stark
naked, danced on them all night, de-
claripg that the judgment day is coming
and that he wanted to be ready for it.
1t was necessary to force the clothes on
him, but he was docilC afterwards until
he reached the Jail in this city. There
it was necessary to manaCle his arms
and feet and chain him to keep him
from breaking the furniture, as he had
done at Wells. He was taken before
JudgeMead Thursday noon and adjudged
insane and taken to st. Peter on the af-
ternoon train. He would neither eat
nor drink. 1t is said that family trou-
bles have driven him insane, He was
once an educated man. His hobby is
now religion and he talks considerably
of the Salvation Army.

A NEWSPAPER MAN IN LUCK.

The FREE PRRss is always pleased to
see its neighbors succeed and while the
editor OF the Rerie,0 and the editor of the
FREE PRESS have not been the most
harmonious, it is with pleasure that we
note Mr.. Wise's good fortune. For
like twenty five years Mr.. w.
has retained ownership of about $50
acres of land near West Superior. A
few years ago he had an offer of $4,5OO
for the property, but declined to sell.
Recently he received several different
propositions until. on Tuesday last he
received an offer of $22 500 for the prop
erty. He lett for Superior to look the
ground over, and since his departure
we learn that he has been offered the
princely sum of $4,000. Whether or
not he may conclude to accept this
amount is not known, but it will be ap-
parent to all that il would take more
than one lifetime to make such a sum
as this out of country printshop.
Whatever personal, political or BUSH
ness differences that may have existed
between ourself and Mr.. Wise in the
past, we take pleasure IN congratulating
him upon his good fortune. He has ar
rived at period in life when sum like
this added to his other worldly goods,
renders him independent of worry or
wLnt. We are gladion't.

Tit for Tat.

Minneapolis is already streatching
out her large and prehensIle hands for
the Republican national convention OF
1892. She forgets that Chicago has an
Auditorium. The convention should go
to Chicago as consolation prize for not
getting the worlds lair OF 1892. Or St.
Paul might let Cook county have the ice
palace in 1892 as an appropriate memoir
ial of a colo day.-New York sun.
Minneapolis Doesn't forget. 1t is true
that Chicago has an Auditorium, but
Minneapolis has AL Exposition building.
Chicago will, i'll 1892, be packed from
basement 10 dome with people In
attendance upon the worlds 1aIr, while
at the the same time the new Minneapo-
lis exposition auditorium will resound
with cheers Tor the next President.
Chicago will not need the St. Paul
ice palace, but 1t would come IN very
handy as cold storage for New 1ork's
plans to secure the worlds fair, the
Grant monument fund and other perish
able articles.-MinnedpottS Journal.

NEARLY,A FATAL ACCIDENT.

Passengers on the ii 40 IA. IN. Omaha
train from St. Paul witnessed what
might have been very serious acci-
dent. At lie Sueur man named Henry
Wasman boarded the train, having a
ticket to Kasota. He remained on the
train until after it had passed kaFota,
but when near Limestone crossing,
while the train was going at Il rather
fast speed, he jumped off, alighting on
his head. Those near him saw him
throw his overcoat off before he jumped
and supposed that he could get off all
right. The train was stopped and back
ed up and Wasman was brought to this
city and taken to the the Office of DR..
Warner, who was on the train. Was
man suffered severe conclusion of the
brain, and was considerably bruised
and complained of pain in the back oi
his neck. He is unable TO remember
much and talks quite wildly He does
not know why he went TO step Of the
train, why he left lie Sueur, or where he
was going TO, and at times seems 10 have
forgotten his own name and the name
of his town, continually asking for them.
He has family on his farm, four miles
east of lie Sueur, and he will be seut
back this afternoon if possible. He did
not seem to be out of his head before he
iumped off the train,

What Our Exchanges Think.

Nelr U[m Rereiw:-The talk against
Merriam is becoming monotonous. 1t
is also growing weaker. Quite natural
that it should.
James. he ArguS:-We are RELIABLY. IN
formed by "reiiable" citizen of Eagle
Lake, that an effort was recently made
to detect and identify the propretOrs OF
the "blind pig at Madison Lake, but
il was not successful. The evidence
procured was not sufficient nor COM
petent although it was supposed for a
certain time TO be not only sufficient
but entirely competent" TO convict
any man of wilfully violating the laws
of the State. A boy, or rather young
man was selected to buy the whiskey
and he did buy what was supposed to be
quart of fiery liquid, but which even
tually proved to be coloTed water only.
1t seems some one had put the prOprle
tors on to the racket and instead OF get
ting caught themselves they Succeeded In
trapping the detectives. But that does
not relieve them from the odlum OF
being willful and disgracetuI vloiators OF
the law nor detract one JOt or title from
worthy efforts to enforce the law. They
should be discovered and exposed, II
possible, and be accorded the full pen
atty imposed by law.
New ULm Reriew:-Van Dusen's repre-
sentative at this place during the past
week has not paid less than II cents for
wheat. This is three cents higher than
at Sleepy Eye and from four to five
higher than the price paid along the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road. New
Ulm is therefore the proper place to
market your produce.
Tell the whole truth. New Ulm part
les have been pulling the market and
the prices paid are not permanent by
any means. But all the same New Clm
has the reputation of being good
market.

MANY A LIFE

LAS been saved by the prompt use of
IL Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing-master would as soon 60 to
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills
leave no ill effects they are purely

medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.

constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more

NEEDED AN ovERCOAT.

l.. A. Phelps, a wealthy farmer living
near Arlington, OAK, lost valuable fur
oyercoat in saloon shortly after supper
Friday night. He had taken it off and laid
it on table and had occasion to step
out for a few moments. On his return
the coat was gone. Suspicion rested on a
man namedW. Burmaster, who had been
caught in the act of leaving with 1t ear
lier in the evening. He was arrested at
about eleven o'clock and admitted hav-
ing taken the coat, but said that he did
not intend to steal it. 1t was found
hanging in the st. Paul House, where
Burmaster had asked permission to
leave it. The officers say that the piis-
oner has served a term in Saltwater for
stealing at GAINESVILLE. Phelps is rather
an old man and claims TO own $40 acres
in Dakota.
Bnrinaster was taken before Judge
Porter Saturday and waived an ex-
animation. He was bound over to the
grand jury and committed to the county
Jail. Mr. Phelps gave bond of $500 for
his appearance as witness and left his

II is determined by Commissioner
Hagerly's recent annual report on the
grain statistics of the Dakotas, that the
wheat harvest this year shows an in
crease over last year of 5000, 600 bushels,
and the increase of corn nearly 10000
The average yield in many counties was
below that of last wear, however, and
the increase of the total production is
accounted for by the increased acreage
sown and planted.
