Mrs. Eric Wirshing has com.
menced suit against Frederick Kestel
to recover about 5000, which she claims
is the amount necessary to pay the
attorneys fees for Mrs. Kester, the

Why do you use adulterated gin

ID. w. Selleck & Son are doing a
large wholesale tobacco business.
Their orders are increasing and their
output is growing larger every day.
They say that their trade has been
beyond anything they expected, in the
time they have been doing business.
They have been holding every custom
er and adding new ones. The firm
now employs three travelling men.
There is not wholesale house in
Mankato that is not doing large and
profitable business. There is no more
favorable point to start such a bust
ness than in this city.
d. L. Clements &Son defy compe-
tition on canned goods. 100 new cases
will arrive this week. 4Ot2d1w
1t is likely that ManKato will soon
be supplied with private mail boxes,
as the recent order applies to all free
delivery cities. The boxes were Sc
lected by the department from 1000
samples presented, and are of canvass
with two compartments. In one COM
partment the mail that is to 60 out is
placed, and the carrier places the in
coming mail into the other compart-
ment. There is red flag in the rear
of the box, which is to be raised when
ever there is mail for the carrier to
take. The new plan will be a great
convenience to the public and will
probably be generally adopted. 1t
will take letter carriers longer to
make their collections, but they will
save time in making deliveries, as
they will not have to wait for people
to come to the door. n
All spices purchased Of D. L.
Clements & Son are warranted pure,
and their line is the largest in the
city and prices the lowest. 4Ot2d1w

The next Harvest Excursion over
the Omaha R'y will occur on Sept,
9th. 1tdaw..
Much speculation is being indulg-
ed as to what action the Peoples
party nominating convention at Good
Thunder next Monday will take. 1t
is reported that most of the candi-
dates in both the Republican and
Democratic parties are buttonhOling
the prominent Peoples party men and
bringing what influence they can to
bear to secure endorsements. The
Populists are very curious people and
no one will be certain as to what they
will do until after the convention.
They are as changeable as the wind
and a nomination by no means assures
the votes of the party.
There is strong feeling among
the Republican rank and file against
any of the candidates named at the
recent county convention seeking or
accepting an endorsement at the
hands of the Peoples party or any
other Ismite party. For every en-
dorsement the balance of the ticket,
county and national, is weakened.
There is question whether the can
d1dates have moral right to accept
an endorsement, having been named
by the Republican party as,representa
tives solely of its principles. There
are many who say that they will not
vote for candidate who accepts the
endorsement of another party. If the
other party is sincere in its wish to
vote for a Republican candidate it
can Simply omit to make nomin-
alton.

A TERRIBLE INJURY.
Jacob Guenthur Thrown From His
Carriage and Receives PrOba-
bly, Fatal Injuries.

A sad accident happened to jacob
Guenthur yesterday afternoon, which
may prove fatal. In company with
his daughter-in-law, he started out
after dinner with horse and buggy
to gather wild grapes. When they
had reached point a mile south of
the Nelson farm, in Rapidan, nine
miles from Mankato, the horse took
fright at a steam threshing machine
and ran away. Mrs. Guenthur jump
ed out Of the buggy, and received only
a few slight scratches. The old gen.
tleman, however, remained in and
chung to the lines until he was thrown
out, alighting upon his stomach. All
of the ribs upon the left side were
crushed in and broken, and possibly
some internal injuries were inflicted.
He was picked up and carried to the
nearest house, that of Mr.. Anderson,
where he now lies. For a long time
he was unable to speak, but finally
rallied. He suffered great pain. DR..
Webster was summoned as soon as
possible and did all that he could for
the injured man.
Mr.. Guenthur is siXty-sixyears of
age, and resides mile east on Agency
hill. He is an old settler and is we'll
known. 1t is uncertain what the
outcome will be, though the chances
of recovery seem to be about even.

Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists
all sorts of people use it.

"a Covert Blow at Cleveland

In his remarks at the Opera House last
Monday evening Hon. F. T. Greenhalge
referred to the report of the bureau of
the statistics of labor of the State of New
DIRK. just issued. The Boston Herald
in publishing synopsis of the report
gave the following captions: Hill Shows
his Hand. A Covert Blow Struck at Cleye-
land, etc. 1t is also complained by the
Herald that the publication of the report
at this time is unprecedented, and no
doubt that paper would have been pleased
had it been withheld for all time. No at
tempt is made to refute the facts. The
trouble is that the facts bear hard upon
Cleveland and his party: and it should be
borne in mind that the report came from
Democratic official. large portion is
devoted to figures of interest in relation
to the tariff. In order to prove whether
''protection'' as advocated by one politi-
cal party, OF ''taritf for revenue only
would prove of advantage, statistics have
Dttl gathered 10 snow IN every industry
in the State the increase or decrease of
production and comparative increase or
decrease in wages.
The period covered by investigation
includes the year Immediately prior to
the enactment of what is termed the
''McKinley bill'' and the year Immediate
ly following its becoming law That is,
the data upon which the report has been
made was for the year commencing Sept.
/. 1890, up to and including the 31su of
August 1891.
1t appears that there was net in
crease in the wages of Sc. 81, OPS, 90 in
the year 1891 as compared with 1890, and
net increase of production of S31, 315,-
1870, 68 in the year 1891 over that of 1890.
A simple analysis of this further demon
strates the interesting fact that of the 81
industries covered II per cent. of them
show an increase either of wages or pro-
duct, or both, and there were no less than
50, 1T instances of individual increases of
wages during the same year. While the
industries are but 81 in number, the
total trades represented amount to 1121

The Robertson Alleged Forgery Case.

George H. Robertson, of Belfast, the alleg
ed forger, was arrested last week near Houl-
ton, by Deputy Sheriff Perkins. Robertson
living in Houton, and he went there after
leaving Belfast. He was traced by box he
had forwarded to his uncle before leaving
Belfast. The box was delivered to Mr.
Batchelder. From the description sent, the
Houlton officers had no difficulty in locating
Robertson, but when they went after him.
his uncle had driven him twelve miles away,
so the officer had some trouble.
Sheriff Wadsworth was notified and start
ed Thursday for Houlton arriving Friday
morning AS the trains to and from Houl-
ton pass through New Brunswick and there
was some question as to the legality of the
matter it was decided not to take Robertson
home that way but with Deputy Sheriff
Perkins he was driven overland to Danforth,
where they We're met by Sheriff Wadsworth.
They arrived in Belfast Saturday forenoon.
Monday afternoon Robertson was taken
before Judge Rogers of the Belfast Police
Court. He was assisted by II. F. Dunton

over to the October term of court in the sum

Robertson is reported to have said that the
money went into the firm. As matter OF
fact the books show that 5000 of it did 20
into the firm.
Mr.. Walter Seekins, the senior partner OF
the finn, says that when they went into
business last fall he put into the firm $3.50
in money. Robertson had no money, but
gave his note for S425, which note Mr. Seek
ms now holds. The firm had a fair business
and would have got along we'll had Robert
son remained. Much sympathy is felt fol-
Mr., Seekins, who is an honest. hard working
young man. In a few months he has lost
the hard earnings of several years When
he gets through insolvency there will be but

| Robertson has many friends here and he
| has been regarded as above reproach. Do
mestlc matters have not run smoothly if al

will be paid the alleged forged note, and
