AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme court rendered very
important decision Wednesday, and
one that is far reaching in it's effects.
Some time ago Judge Severance heard
a case brought from Wells where
piece of land Lad been dedicated to
the Milwaukee railroad company, and
suit was had to recover the same, the
plaintiff holding that the original
owner had no authority in law to
make the dedication. Judge Sever
ance decided that the plaintiff was
entitled to possession of the property.
About the same time parallel case
was brought before Judge Lochren, of
Minneapolis, in which the NJ. & St. L.
was defendent. Judge Lochren held
just the contrary to Judge Severance,
and both cases were appealed. The
Supreme court sustained Judge Sever
ance's verdict and reversed that Of
Judge Lochren. 1t has therefore been
decided that, according to common
law. dedication of land cannot be
made to railroads.

Bro. johnson of the ST. Peter Herald,

that there is nothing small about his
anatomy but, his feet, and his offer,
for country editor, may be consid-
cred generous:
Bro. Hunt, of the Mankato FREE
PRESS, takes us to task for little
item in this paper last week concern
ing the Worlds Fair appropriation.
Why bless your Pythian heart, Bro.
Hunt, during the session Of the legis-
lature we urged all along that the APP
preparation be made S250,000. Had
our advice been taken, Minnesota
would have taken front seat at the
big show. AS it is, we will have some
little pen down there that will very
poorly advertise our great common
wealth. We consider that the mig
gardly appropriation of fifty thousand
dollars was disgrace to the disgrace
full legislature that gave it. We want
to see big fair, and we want to see
Minnesota in that fair as she ought to
be, and in order that she may, we au-
thorize you to draw on us for the 9TH
er $780, 200.

If, as reports state, it be true that
natural gas has been discovered in
Warren, Minnesota, that bailiwick
may confidently look for a boom. A
telegram from Warren on the 18th
says that in sinking an artesian we'll
on James Huggard's farm, one and a
half miles west Of the village, natur-
al gas was struck at twenty-five feet
and the pressure was so great as to
throw stones thirty feet high. The
gas was accidentally ignited and a
fame forty feet in height shot up into
the air, causing great difficulty in
smothering it. If the supply shall
prove permanent it will be OF in
estiInable value. 1t has long been
contended that natural gas would be
unearthed in Minnesota. Experts,
when boring for gas at Minneopa, in
this county, contended that it was
there, but the immense flow of water
which came boiling up made it impos-
sible to continue the exploration.
Minnesota Is blessed with almost
every natural resource for gaining
wealth, and if the gas well turns out
prolific we will have additional cause
to be thankful.

FRIDAY. JUNE 1e, 1891.
CIVIL LIBERTY"
Editor Free Press:

Editor Free Press:
The discussion of the question of
Sunday closing of the clothing stores
in this city which received attention
in your columns few days ago,
prompts correspondent to another
paper of the city, over the venerable
title, "Fair Play" to ask this ques'
ton: SIS church domination to the
exclusion of civil liberty to prevail
here?" Mr.. Editor, dropping out the
question of "church domination
which is not, strictly speaking, an
element in the agitation under Ques.
tion, and basing the issue on it's mer.
its, we find that "Fair Play" has
raised a very serious question, tO-wit
Which is supreme, society or the indi.
vidual?- This is, virtually, the ques.
tion suggested by his reference to the
suppression of "civil liberty" "Civil
Liberty" in organized society consists
of the rights accorded the individual
as contradistinguished from the
powers of regulation which the SUI
preme authority, the state, reserves
to itself: and whoever attempts to
exercise a greater latitude of right
than this, is assuming liberties which
do not belong to him. 1t is to be
hoped, Mr.. Editor, that you will not
relinQuish your position on the clos
ing question, simply because some
who overestimate the scope of their
"ciyil liberty" feel aggrieved. To
observe the statute law of the state
is one of the safeguards of society,
and when such law says that places OF
business not being in the nature of
public necessities, shall be closed on
the Sabbath, the right to continue
such business on that day is no longer
a civil liberty; and for any class of
business men to mutually agree that
hereafter they will cease to violate the
law, and conform to it's requirements,
is not a subrogation Of any ones lib
,erty. To assume the contrary, is to at
tempt to elevate the individual above
society. Therefore, it remains diff
cult to discern the point of logic in
"'Fair Play's"article. If any business
man of Mankato desires to conduct
traffic on the basis of natural liber-
ty," unmolested, he must seek climes
where social organization does not
abound. To endeavor to justify OPP
position to the commendable propo-
sition of the Mankato clothiers on the
plea of destruction of "civil liberty"
is mere folly. No such liberty exists,
although in Mankato sort of license
by consent has always been extant.
The question has, besides the legal
aspect, a moral phase, social phase
and hygienic feature, but these we
have no disposition to discuss in this
article. Stand by your guns, Mr.. Ed
itor, our liberty is not in danger.

From Farm, Stock and Home.

presume your attention has been
called to the worm, of the caterpillar
family, that is making such havoc of
the foliage of fruit and other trees;
but suggest that an article in the

habits, ETC., of the worm would be of
general interest, as the pest seems to
be general one. @. S. BROWN.
Nicollet Co., MINI.
This was submitted to Prof. Lugger,
state entamologist, whose remarks
| follow:
"One of the features of this spring
is the immense number of caterpillars
infesting all our fruit trees, both the
cultivated and wild varieties, and our
oaks. The caterpillars are rather pref
ty insects, being brightly colored, with
stripes and spots. Although very
similar in external appearance, there
are in reality two species that attract
general attention, but as their life
histories are almost Identical it is not
necessary to give each. The insect is
one of the well known tent caterpil-
lars, member of the silk-producing
moths.
"The life history of this insect is in
teresting. The moths are nocturnal
in their habits, and consequently not
often met with; are light brown, with
a diagonal bar of lighter color across
the upper wings. They fly from the
middle of June till the beginning of
July, during which time the female
deposits immense numbers of eggs.
These latter are not laid singly, as is
usually the case, but are laid in dense
masses, forming perfect ring around
twigs of the size Of stout pencil.
Such egg masses are covered with a
glue like material that soon dries and
forms an excellent waterproof protec-
ton. AS we have but one generation
of moths during the year, these eggs
remain on the tree all summer, au-
tumn and winter, and do not hatch
until the next spring, with the I'M
folding of the young foliage.
cat this time the minute caterpil-
lars hug closely together and spin, as
a protection, a silken tent over them,
inside which they live. Twice a day
the whole colony leaves its home to
feed, marching to and from the nest
in regular order. In crawling about,
each caterpillar spins thread, which
anchors it to the tree in case it should
be forced to drop to the ground. AS
the caterpillars grow, the tent is also
gradually enlarged until it forms
quite bulky affair. 1t is most fire.
quently found on wild cherry trees.
AS the caterpillars grow older, and af-
ter undergoing their last moult, their
gregarious habit comes to an end, and
each animal wanders about singly.
When full grown the caterpillars
search for suitable places to spin their
cocoons, which are usually found
among roofs of out-houses, or about
fences and woodpiles. Here they
make most beautiful cocoon of very
loose texture, but made impervious
to rain by golden yellow dust. At

haws, but at the present time it would
be rather difficult to find single tree
entirely exempt from it. BY the time
these lines are printed the great ma
jority of the caterpillars will be a
thing of the past.
81 cannot tell as yet what role our
friends, the parasites, will play in this
matter, or whether they will be numer-
Gus enough to check the trouble. At
all events, careful fruit growers have
no cause to be afraid, as with very lit
tie attention all the eggs can be col
lected during the winter, and should
be destroyed. The egg masses, being
deposited in the shape of ring on
twigs, are very easily detected at a
time when all the leaves have disap-
peared. Arsenical poisons, such as
Paris green and London purple, are al
so very effective, but great care should
be exercised, as our plum trees at least
are readily injured by too liberal use
of poison, which may do more injury
than the insect to be destroyed. line

habitants, are also readily destroyed

BULLET IN HIS HEAD FOR LIFE.
Col. Seifert's Boys Remarkable
Recovery from a Shot.

Ftfteen-year-old Eddie selfert, the son OF
COLA. L. seirert of 10 West Ninetieth street,
lives to tell a tale OF q most remarkable re-
coyery from an accident that was pronounced
surely fatal by a dozen eminent physicians
and surgeons.
Young seifert is bright, handsome boy.
but his broad, smooth brow Is marred by an
ugly scar just over the right eye. This scar
indicates the point where on June 18 a rife
bullet crashed through the frontal bone, and
splitting into halves, went tearing through
his brain, lodging at points six inches from
the place OF entrance and four inches apart.
The accident occurred near Valley Forge,
In the Catskills. Col. Seiert and family were
summering there, and Eddie and another lad
were out for q days hunting.
Luck was not good, and the boys separated
The other lad heard the report OF Eddie's
rifle and hurried to rejoin him to learn what
game had been brought to earth.
He found Eddie lying face downward in
the middle OF q little stream, the water
around his head being reddened by blood
from wound In the forehead,
At sight OF help Eddie fell over unconscious,
but he recovered consciousness few hours
after, aud though he was partially para
lyzed for several days, had temper
ature OF 1O2 and was declared to
lost consciousness since and is to-day the
same light-hearted, intelligent boy that he
was before the shooting.
Col. Seifert's family physician and the most
expert surgeons were called TO attend the
boy. They probed and found that one half
the bullet had taken an upward course and
lodged In the brain one and half inches
from the inner wall OF the skull, while the
other half had gone straight into the brain
and lodged midway between the ear and the
top OF the head.
The surgeons probed with an electric
probe, but could not extract the pieces OF
lead, while brain matter oozed out OF the
dreadful wound. They said Eddie's death
was certain.
| The lad was still alive on June 20, and Col.
Seifert determined to make one more effort,
He took another doctor to Valley Forge, who
found a splinter OF bone pressing on the brain
| at the mouth OF the wound and small parti-
cles OF bone irritating the wounds along the
moved.
Eddie fingered still In the land Of the liv-
| ing on July 3, but he could eat nothing, was
| steadily weakening under fever, aud menin-
| gifts was developing. The lad was brought
| home, and on July the wound was opened,
cleaned and disinfected.

bullet, and tubes were inserted for draining

bullet became encYsted, the flow finally

clared the boy TO be on the road TO final re-
| covery.
To-Day he Is practically well, though still
pale and weak. Yesterday he was pronounced
cured by the physician.

fFPEciAL TO THE EvESIEG woRLD.l
LONDON, Aug. 7.--Jack the Ripper is again
abroad, and terror reigns in the whitechapel
district. An fold woman has been brutally
butchered, and the Ripper has made good his
escape.
The victim is Mary woolie. eyed seventy
years.
A policeman found her dying In one OF the
dark alleys that cut up whitechapel at an
early hour this morning.
She was covered with blood and unoon-
sclous. Her throat was cut and there were
numerous stab WOUNDS in her body.
she had evidently been seized from behind,
her assailant throwing his arm about her neck
and garroting her. Then the knife was
drawn across her throat.
She struggled hard, for there is a frightful
wound In her left arm, which she threw up to
defend herself
Apparently the Ripper was frightened OF
before he entirely completed his work.
When found the woman was still breathing,
That she could be alive with all these terrible
wounds Is a mystery.
The police are scurrytng about, but have nc
clews The atrocity was committed with the
same audacity as all the others.
This ia the thirteenth victim OF Jack the
Ripper. Two more must be sacrificed before
he will stop, for he has announced that he
will kill fifteen before he surrenders.
LATER.-A man has been arrested on sus
picion of beiag the murderer. But the evt
dence against him is weak.
