Mankato Review: A state exchange
tells of remarkable cure of desperate
case Of diphtherla by the use Of pine
apple juice After all remedies had
proven unavailing, the fruit juice was
given as drink. 1t instantly cut the
suffocating membrane, which was
coughed up IN pieces for fifteen minuets,
and at the end of the time the patient
was breathing comfortably, and was out
of danger.
Albert Enterprise: Thus far there
seems no opposition developed in the
Republican party to the denomination
of Mr.. Dunnell for congress next fall
and it looks as if the old faction
al fight which once gave the Demo
Gratis a congressman IN the first district
had died out. Bad luck to the man who
digs up the tomah awk to renew the on
slaught. A united party means victory
in the old first.
Winona Republican: The tax rate in
New York for the current fiscal year is
3.52-1O0 mills. which, on the present
assessed valuation will yield $12. .557, ,352.-
"A. The total funded debt of the state
is $6 ia, ,S5487, with an aggregate sink
ing fund of 81, 466, ,625. "a, leaving a total
debt unprovided for, but not yet due, of
$2.309. .229 i3. On the whole, the Mi ne
sofa man who thinks he is taxed beyond en-
durance may, if phiIosophically inclined,
rate of assessment IN the ''imperial" State
of New York. Men are sometimes far
from being SO sick as they imagine they
are.
Albert Lea Standard: The jury in the
case of John Graham against the B.. c:
r. & n. railway company, which called
so manyof our citizens to St. Paul last
week rendered a verdict in favor of Mr..
Graham for $1,000 He claimed $40, 900,
and this was the third trial of the case
At the first trial in the district court in
this county, the jury found for the COM
pany. Graham appealed to the supreme
court and new trial was ordered; the
case was then transferred to the United
States court and on the first trial therein
the jury disagreed. Judge Thos. Wilson
of Winoua and Mr.. Bowers, his partner,
represented Mr.. Graham, and Jno A.
Lovely and Henry A.. Morgan defended
for the railroad. Incidentally, good
deal of politics was worked into the
case, Messrs. Wilson and Lovely having
been antagonists in the congressional
fight of '86, the adherents. respectively,
of each took great interest in the case.
1t was ably contested on both sides, and
the result is admitted to be decided
victory for Judge Wilson and bis client
The costs In the case are very heavy and
probably amount to as much or more
than the verdict. 1t is said that the case
will be appealed to the United States
supreme court, If Judge Villas refuses 8
new trial, which he is quite certain to DO
in which event the jud cement cannot be
collected for five or six years, business
being so far behind in that court. But
in the meantime the railroad company
will have to pay interest on the amount
of the verdict and costs, which will be
heavy yearly tax.
