Wis. This is the opinion of a man
who keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can

patent medicines. told her to take
a bottle, and if the results were not

would never without it in future as
a few doses had given her relief" @

THE GEORGIA MAGNET.

The third appearance of Annie Alb
bott at the Opera HouseTuesday night
called out a fair-siZed audience, and
all who attended went away perfectly
amazed at the wonderful power of re-
sistance contained in SO slight lady.
The committee called to the stage
consisted of Jno. F. Magher, r. d.
Hubbard. DR.. Andrews, D. L. Rose,
H. P. Christensen, S. E. Barney, Com
missioners Deitz, Edwards and Brules.
Thos. Saulpaugh, Jno. G. Wise, Jr.,
and L. P Hunt. The united strength
of these gentlemen had no more effect
in lifting the little woman from the
floor than if put to the test of raising
a brick building. She would hold an
ordinary billiard cue in the palm of
her open hand and men enough could
not get hold of it to take it from her.
She performed many wonderful and
ineXplicable feats, and there have
been so many theories advanced as to
how it was done, and each in turn ex-
ploded, her audience was willing to
''give it up and the committee re-
tired at the close of the entertain
ment fully resolved that they didn't
know anything about what supernat-
ural element she possessed.
If Mrs. Abbott was travelling around
exhibiting as some great humbue
she would draw immense houses. The
American people, as Barnum once
truly said, like to be humbugged. But
there is nothing deceptive about the
lady. She is indeed magnet and
genuine wonder.

Trouble at Lake Madison.

Meager particulars Of a bloody fight
near Lake Madison last night have
reached the city A telegram was re-
ceiyed at the sheriff's office this morn
ing asking that7fIe go out there with
physician, saying that a man had
been waylaid and nearly killed.
Sheriff Glynn was already at the lake
but Deputy Bowen responded to the
call and took DR.. E. J. Davis with
him. The sheriff returned this noon,
and from him and other parties we
learn that the fight occurred a
half mile from Madison Lake, and
that the participants were three
brothers named Lyons on one side and
three brothers named Shanahan on
the other. The trouble is said to
have been the outcome of an old feud
of nine years standing Reports of
the fight differ, but it appears that
one of the Lyons boys was badly cut
with a wagon wrench.
LATER.-Both parties came to the
city this afternoon for warrants for
the other. The Shanahan boys en-
gagged were Christopher, John aud
Benedict, tons of J. J. Shanahan. The
Lyons boys were Richard, William
and Patrick, and Terrence McGrath,
their cousin. Their stories are radi-
cally different. 1t appears that John
Shanahan rode home with the Lyons
boys and in some manner they began
to fight. each side laying the blame on
the other Johns cries called the as
sistantance of his two brothers.
Both are old and highly respected
families, and that the unfortunate oc-
currence has taken place is to be re-
gretted. How it will end it is not
known John Shanahan and Willie
are badly hurt, the former having a
tooth out and the other broken
head. All are badly used up.
Christopher has knife cut. VIM.
Lyons had the wrench first, but
Christ Shanahan took it from him.

that Mr.. Lind took out the insurance
when he went to England to vssit his
mothers family, and that the policy
had not expired when he was drowned
in the Minnesota river. The policy
was made out to Cation as his clerk,
with the understanding that he would
retain his back salary and return the
remainder to Lind's mother. Mr.. Com
stock was the companys agent, and
under its instruction paid Cation the
money. An Injunction was secured
afterwards restraining Cation from
using the money, but Cations past
history came out and he left between
two days with the money, and has
not since been heard Of. The present
suit was brought to recover the mon
ey from some one of these parties.
Several dispositions were read and
some other evidence taken, when
the case was put off until briefs can
be submitted. III

title of Lord Arthur Saveile's Crime ;
J. III. Wade, of Cleveland, expects
to pay s250,00O for the elegant steam
yacht now in process of construction

that will be the finest craft of the kind

The inventory of Gen. Sherman's
property now to be found in St. Louis,
just made includes only two pieces of
real estate, one of which is the Garri-
son avenue house and lot presented
to him in 1865 by the people of that
city, and occupied by him as home
for several years. 1t was at that time
valued at 5000.
While the young German Kaiser
was watching a sham battle between
some Russian cavalry he asked the
Gar for permission to take charge of
one side. 1t was granted and the
Kaiser proposed to show the Russians
what a real soldier, who was not a
shop-keeper nor tailor, could do.
While he was following rule SO in his
book on tactics the Russians sur
rounded his surprised army and he
was captured. 1t is said he went to
his tent and would not come out for
the rest of the day.
Senator Allison had an interview
with the President at Cape May last
week. To reporter the senator said,
being asked about Iowa'S attitude on
free coinage: We'll, you know the
Democrats are pledged to free coin
age and the Republicans stand by the
recent legislation on the subject.
There is the status in Iowa." More
seriously, he continued: There is no
denial Of the fact, that there are a
great many free silver Republicans in
Iowa and the West, just the same as
the fact that there are great many
protection Democrats in Iowa and the
West. But none of these men will
cut any figure in the election. When
it comes to voting, the free silver Re-
publicans will vote the Republican
ticket and the protection Democrats
will vote the Democratic ticket.

Tom Rooney has sold his splendid

sidered very cheap property.
Our creamery is giving general salts

it with their milk are satisfied with
the result. This is the time of year
that the least amount of butter is OBJ
tanned from hundred pounds of milk,
and also the worst time of the year to
make butter, but so far the creamery
has done better by its patrons than
they could have realized in any other
manner, and its popularity is increas-
ing every day.
Manager George of the Opera House
Mankato, has made arrangements
with Mr.. Humphrey of this place to
supply us with all first-class enter

not too expensive. In other words
our opera house will be run in con-
nection with the one at Mankato.
1t was about the middle of last May
the Union noticed that the Murphy
Bros, on Loon Lake, lost valuable
COW, by choking to death in the
stanchiOn. This was supposed to be
the cause of her death at that time.
Since then they have lost three more
cows, and it now dawns upon them
that the death Of these animals was
due to bite from dog they owned
that died several weeks ago. This
discovery was made one day last week
A neighbor in passing by the Murphy
farm noticed cow chasing colt about
the pasture they were in, and report

brothers went out to the pasture but
found everything all right and re
turned. Soon after this a second re
port came that the colt had cut itsel
on the wire fence. A second visit Il
the pasture was made and the Gov
was found wild and frothing at tn,

MINNESOTA. TO THE FRONT.

The decision of the Minnesota State
Worlds Fair commission, at its re-
cent meeting, to call a convention on
the 18th day of August to devise ways
and means for raising such additional
sum of money as may be necessary to
place Minnesota in position to be
appropriately represented at the great
exposition ia 1893, is meeting W it'll
very general approval by press and
people: and it is to the credit of the
intelligence of her people that such is
the case. In calling editorial atten-
tion to the convention, the Duluth
Tribune pertinently says that there
is no question but that the money is
greatly needed in order that Minnesota
be given creditable display at the
Worlds Fair But it was the duty of
the last legislature to have provided
for this matter literally. Minnesota
has mineral and timber resources in
the north, the equal of any state in
the Union. Her iron ore is Of the
best quality in the world. How the
money can be raised at this time, since
the legislature neglected it's duties.
except by private subscription, is con-
siderable of a puzzle. 1t must be
raised, however, and, if convention
of this kind can suggest plan and
provide means, by all means let there
be liberal attendance of our most
public spirited men. Minnesota can
not afford to carry out a penny wise
and pound foolish policy. At least
$4,000 should be expended in the
erection of buildings for the great dis
play that Minnesota will doubtless
make and the remaining S120,00O
will be no more than an economic
and careful outlay should eXpeDd in
preparing and placing the exhibit
1t will be small amount as COM
pared with the appropriations of many
of the states"

Absurd and Foolish.

From the Mapleton Enterprise.)
The editor of the Anoka Union is OF
the opinion that the state has too
many public institutions, and favors
the closing of the State Normal school
at Mankato. Such an idea is absurd
and foolish. Why close any school, let
alone closing the one which has the
largest attendance of any of the state
Normals. The Normal school is a
necessity, as it is the fountain head
which supplies the country schools
with efficient and capable teachers.
They have already raised the stand
ard of teaching in our rural schools
and will continue to raise it as long
as they maintain their present stand
ard of excellence. He also advocates
the hospital for the insane at Roches-
ter. Again he is on the wrong path
to solve the problem.

committee on sewers was, after thor
ough discussion, given power to make
contract with the Normal authori-
ties, in such manner that connection
will be made with the private sewer
on Hickory street. The sewer will be
put in on Fifth street for one block,
and will be owned by the Normal I'M
til the city is ready to purchase it,
when it will become part of the
general system.
The Board of Public Works report
ed adversely to the petition which
asked that the cost of the Fifth street
culvert be repaid to the property as
sessed as the whole matter of the as
sessment would be reopened, and as
the petitioners did not object at the
proper time The report was laid on
the table.
The Board reported in favor OF the
asked for sidewalk along Fifth street,
from Plum to Lime. 1t will cost 81
40, which will be paid for by the

26 cents per lineal foot. The work
was ordered TO be done.
The Board also reported favorably

The Board reported against the Pc
tition for permission to put rip-rap in
the gutter in front Of lots and 5,
block II, City of Mankato, but rec
commended that curb and gutter be
put in front Of lots and Il, at cost
of one dollar lineal foot, the prop
erty to pay the cost. 1t was voted to
have this work done on both sides of
the street, which is in front of the
big mill.
The sidewalk ordinance was brought
up and its second reading was COM
menced, but hitch was met when
the section relating to the outer edge
of the walk was reached. The ordi-
nance was then postponed until the
next meeting, to give time to look the
matter up.
A liquor license was ordered grant
ed to Theodore Roemer.
The street committee reported ia
vorahly to the opening of e. Fifth

vorably upon Annie G. Shanbret's
plat No. 3. Attorney Byron Hughes

claiming that the plat laps over from
four to fifty feet upon the Dr's prop

versely to remitting Henry Boegen's
back assessment, which he had petit
toned for. Fred Boegen appeared
before the council. The matter was
laid over until the next meeting.
A number of bills were allowed and
