The trial of Mordon O. Whitney for
grand larceny in the first degree was
completed yesterday, and during the
afternoon the jury returned verdict
of not guilty. He was discharged
and his bond eXhonorated.
Quite tilt occurred when the suit
of Amelia B. Wing VS.. J. n. Mullin
came on for trial. The plaintiff de-
sired to amend the complaint, and
the court was willing to allow it on
condition that she would pay the de-
PENDANTS witnesses. She objected to
this, and thinking it cheaper to bring
another suit had the case dismissed.
Steps were Immediately taken to bring
another suit. There were so wit
nesses present. The ground for dis
missal was that the counsel was un-
able to prosecute.
1t was ordered that the case of John
W. Morse vs.. Henry Ruegg be tried
before Judge j. e. Porter, in the mum

The paper bags in which groceries
are done up are useful in many ways
and should be saved, said grocer the
other day. For instance, slip your
hand in one of them when you black

fly time slip one over the lamp chin
ney during the day and it will be nice
and clean when you light it in the
evening. When you can fruit in glass,
slip the sack over the jars and the
fruit will keep much better. The ac-
tion of the light causes more fruit to
spoil than any other thing. BY all
means save the bags.
Assessor Shoemaker has been
criticised for assessing the stock of
outside building and loan associations
held by our citizens, at the values
which he does. This is unjust to him,
for the valuations are furnished him
by the state authorities, and he has
no choice but to put them in as he
gets them. A great deal of this stock
is held by Mankato parties, and many
are heartily sorry that they have TAX
en- any. Several have attempted to
withdraw and have received cOnSid-
erably less than they put in. In the
long list of holders, are many clerks
and workmen whose small and hard
earned pay is put every month into
concerns established to furnish big
paying offices for their projectors.
Our home association should be good
