IupGMENT for plaintiff was rendered
Wednesday by Judge Raxter in the case
OF the Fergus Falls National bank VS..
Messrs Jordan and Phalon; Parsons &
Brown for plaintiff. Jenkins. of Alexan-
dria, for defendant Jordan. This case
svas heard by Judge Baxter at the recent
term of court. 1t was an action to re-
cover on Fron.issory note. AT the trial
10 defense was made. but a motion to
dismiss the case WAS pat. ia on the ground
that the note was signed on Sunday.
The nsotion is virtually denied by the
adverse Judgement. In deciding the case
Judge Baxter makes the following note:
1.-THE supreme court of this state has
held in several cases that a contract ex-
ecuted OIL Sunday is void; but such deei=
sions have been based upon statute
then in force (sec.f 20, chap. 100, gen.
statutes OF 1879 while the note or con,
tract upon which this action was
brought was executed after the repeal OF
said statute. Under that statute it was
made a criminal offense to do any bust
ness on Sunday, and hence the rule hold
ing contracts made on Sunday void.
But under the law as it has existed since
the list day of January. 1886, there is no
statutory provision prohibiting the
execution of contracts on Sunday, as is
plainly manifest from the provisions of
the penal code of this state, secs. 222 to
$50, inclusive. Bloom VS.. Richards, 2

This is what the St. Cloud Times
elicits from well known citizens:
{. M. Sprague, Sank Centre-St. Cloud
has done herself proud. That arch is
grand. 1t beats anything we ever had
at an encampment.
Senator Keller,-St. Cloud has done
nobly. The whole city is decorated.
Everybody seems to be taking hold.
Good enough; bully!
Maj Whitney, Melrose,-Your arch is
very handsome. never saw a finer one
at any encampment.
Just as the switch engine which
brings dawn passenger train No. 1 on
the Great Northern struck the crossing
on Ninth avenue north this morning
near the depot platform, the crowd
which was in waiting was Mortified to
see an old decrepit woman step deliber-
ately in front of the en- ine. She was
struck by the footboard, turned half
round and thrown forward and to the
north of the track, thus escaping from
being run over by the engine. 1t proved
to be Mrs. Rattei, a woman over 90
years old. She does not hear distinctly
and is almost deaf. A man standing
near attempted to stop her but he was
too late to catch her. 1t is not thought
that she was badly injured, unless she
was hurt internally.-[S st. Cloud Times.
This morning. while two deputy
sheriffs were taking prisoner to Fargo
from st. Paul on the Great Northern the
latter jumped from the moving train be-
tween here and Minneapolis few miles
this side of Monticello. The man was
not handcuffed and succeeded in running
out of the coach. When he jumped he
was lucky enough to land IN sand pile.
He was seen to turn over a few times
and then get up and start for the woods.
The train was stopped and run back
short distance, and the deputies went
back but found nothing but the tracks
of man. They were left there searching
for their prisoner, while the train went
on.
Among the passengers of the train was
Mr.. Edward O'Brien, the publisher of
the Irish Standard, of Minneapolis. He
says that the man is the partner Of the
mail robber Chas. E. Bailey, who robbed
a Northern Pacific train at New Salem
on the night of June 7th, 1890. Bailey
was soon captured and convicted, but
his partner escaped until a few months
ago, when he was taken prisoner by a
detective who had traced HIM to West
Virginia. He was on his way to Fargo
to be tried Times.

OxerltIe Term.

purely technical point was raised in
the Bedell and Davis cases, which will
prolong the case, and postpone the trial
until next winter. The Times, gives the
following statement of the case:
The case of the State VS.. Chas. Bedell
and Fred DAVIS, charged with obstruct-
ing railway track was called this morn
ing in the District Court. A separate
trial was asked for by the defendants at
torney, Mr.. d. T. Calhoun, and the jury
for Bedell's case was called. County At
torney Taylor presented the case to the
;pry. Then as the state was about to
call witness, Mr.. Calhoun objected to
the introduction of any evidence upon
che ground that the indictment failed to
state facts sufficient to constitute an of
Tense. The technicality hinged upon the
fac. that the indictment failed to state
how the railroad was operated. whether
by steam or otherwise. The court sus-
gained the objection.
Upon motion of the County Attorney
the case against Bedell and Davis was
then dismissed and the court made an
order that thedelendants be held under
bonds to answer to the next grand jury.
This however, was not done until the
court had oyerruled motion by the de-
fendant's attorney that they were en-
titled to verdict because the jury was
sworn.

The Spring Medicine.

The popularity which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has gained as spring medicine
is wonderful. It possesses just those
elements of health-giving, blood-purify-
ing and appetite-restoring which every
body seems to need at this season. Do
not cootinue in a dull, tired, unsatisfac-
tory condition when you may be so
much benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t purifes the blood AMI makes the weak
strong.

THIS is apparently an era OF great re-
ligious, or rather theologic activity, and
as many are pleased to call it progress
toward liberality. Very well, providing
"iberality" be defined. fit mean that
men are thinking more deeply than ever
before upon matters of religion, it is not
true-for there is no more activity now
than there has ever been. If it mean
that the ties of religion are less binding
now than they have ever been, 1t is not
true. for the membership of the straitest
orthodox churchesis increasing as rapid
ly as ever. Ifit mean that few agita-
tors are attempting to stretch to the ut
most the ties which bind them to some
particular religions body to see whether
they will snap, tits probably true. That
a Presbyterian. Episcopalian, Baptist
or Roman Catholic has a perfect Mgal
right to become a unitarian, an agnostlc
oraninfidel no reasonable man will deny,
but that lie shall continue to exercise
clerical functions within any of the
churches named after such a radical
change of opinion is the question which
is agitating several religious eonmpni-
ties. Because these churches deny this
right large contingent of superficial
thinkers say that the churches are get
ting narrower and that ''lIberality" is
gaming ground.

WHEN the case of young Mic Karels,
and Harry Branch for attempting to
burn Brauch's house was called yester-
day at Sank Rapids, Karels was the only
one to answer. Branch was conspicuous
by his failure to show up. Karels waived
examination and was held to the grand
Jury under his bond and Brauch's was
forfeited. 1t was signed by two Rich
mond farmers, one the father of Brauch's
daughter-in-law, is named Becker.
Brauch's whereabouts are unknown as
he had not been seen for several days
before the hearing. He may be West
and he may be in Iowa at his brothers
or he may yet return and stand his trial.

Coz. Ingersoll makes the following
remarks concerning the Alliance: do
not blame the farmers for trying to bet
ter their condition. They have certainly
had hard time, and they feel that they
haye been oppressed by the bankers,
railroads, merchants and patent medi-
cine makers, to say nothing of ministers.
and lawyers. Everything seems to be
against them. They have to fight frosts
and floods and drought, and all sorts OF
worms and bugs, and spectators and
cyclones and all the birds of the air.
Everybody and everything takes toll
from the farmers. No wonder that they
want to do something, 81 Mortified

rhe keller Irvine.

Henry Keller and Geo. H. Ellis have re-
turned from trip to the harvest fields
of Tennessee, where they made very
satisfactory field trial of the new Irvine
recently made on the Keller-Ellis ma
chine from retted fax straw. They went
to Columbia, in Murray county, where
they were met by an extensive farmer
who was in the midst Of his wheat har-
vest, and two-days trial was given the
Irvine in long, heavy wheat-straw hve
feet long and grain estimated at thirty
FIVE bushels to the acre. The Irvine
worked perfectly on Deering harvester,
the only modification being a trifing
change in the disk and knotter. The
new Irvine was made from fax straw,
about one-half the woody fiber having
been removed by break attached to the
Irvine machine, and it is very strong and
flexible, costing not more than two cents
per pound and does its work with per-
feet satisfaction. This is the first time
an exhibited trial has been made, and its
success has removed all doubt as to the
value and practicability of the machine.
As result, Senator Keller is now
ready to go forward upon the lines
which he has marked out, and there can
be no doubt as to the success of the plan.
He will proceed at once to organize
stock company for the manufacture of
the machines. The exact plan of dispos-
ing of the machines has not yet been de-
termined, but the most feasible and
doubtless the most satisfactory to the
consumers. will be the establishment of
Irvine factories in farming centres, on the
cooperative plan, somewhat similar in
method to. conducting business of the
cheese factory or creamery. The farm
ers can haul their fax to the factory
and have it manufactured into Irvine at
mere nominal cost;or several farmers
can combine to operate the factory for
themselves, or can make and sell the
Irvine within prescribed territorial limits.
Any one of these plans will prove of in
estimable value to the farmers not only
on account of the cheapness of the Irvine,
but as affording them home market
for flax straw, now practically worth
less. Considered in this light it is a
question whether the Irvine used will
cost the farmers joining in the enterprise
any thing at all for all the Irvine they
will require.

THE Mortified News calls the HERALD
wn for defending the cause of Sam
Nichols, as practical politician and adj
vocating the reelection of Senator Davis
because he isn't. The HERALD confesses
that 1t is delicate question-one which
tits hard to bring within the comprehen-
sions of the average reader, and yet upon
this point the HERALD is clear. Sam
Nichols held a purely political plum,
given to him becauseit was political and
because he had earned it, where the du-
ties were wholly out of proportion to
the paw, and he discharged the duties
faithfully and showed his political appre-
citation of the favor. Senator Davis oc-
cupies a position above and independent
of practical politics-oecupies field
where the pay is out of all proportion to
the duties. His scope is immeasurably
wider-covers the nation, and to get
down into petty politics is to drag the
high office with him. This he has not
done and will not do, and it ought not
to be expected of him. He is true to his
friends, and his friends will show them
selves true to him in the campaign OF
1892.
