A $4,000 DAMAGE SUIT.

Papers were served Friday in an i'm
portant damage suit against the Chi
cago & Northwestern road, brought
by Alma Heinze, of Eagle Lake. The
suit is for personal injuries and the
amount sought to be obtained is S., 600
The facts in the case appear to be
these: On May 10th last the young
lady, who is but IA years of age, was
returning from Mankato with her
sister on the regular passenger train.
They had been shopping, and having
number of packages were a trifle
slow in getting out. The train stopped
but short time and started up be-
fore they could get off. A brakeman
told them that if they were going to
get off they had better hurry up. The
first one jumped off and was uninjur-
ed, but Alma broke bone in her an
kle when she struck the ground, and
fell down. The train was stopped
and backed up, but she got up and
walked off declaring that she was not
hurt. Ever since then the ankle
has grown worse until now the girl is
obliged to use two crutches. The road
offered to settle for a small amount
some time ago, but this was refused,
The girl is daughter of Herman
Heinze, and niece of f. G.. Hienze,
of this city. Pau & Young are the
attorneys for the plaintiff.
Judge Severance has appointed
Herman Heinze guardian of his
daughter ad litem for the purpose of
bringing the action.

TO THE VOTERS OF BLUE EARTH
COUNTY,.

AS candidate for the Office of coun
tY surveyor I ask your votes and il
elected l promise to remove the pre-
sent restrictions in plating land
which are unjust, conclusive to mac
curacy and a benefit to no one except
the county surveyor who chooses to
take advantage of the unreasonable
law recently 'railroaded" through the
legislature in the interest of county
surveyors. My chief aim is to estab.
lish free competition as it is in other
counties. To that end 1 publish this
notice so that any surveyor or citizen
will feel free to ask me to endorse their
plats which I will do without charge
or delay if elected or in some other
legal way place all surveyors on an
equal footing.
After this l would have no right to
refuse. am in favor of any plan of
examining or licensing surveyors be
fore impartial, disinterested judges,
but am not in favor of giving such
duties to one surveyor who may be
elected by a county, himself being ex-
empt from any examination at all.
Respectfully yours,
A. M HAYNES.

TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
d. l.. and r. III. Rose Become Own
ers of the Shaubut Farm, and
Will Improve 1t.

A deed has been filed for record with
the register Of deeds conveying the
old Henry Shaubut farm, short dis
lance north of the city, from Jno. f.
Meagher to D. L. and r. H. Rose.
The property described includes tri-
file oyer 541 acres, of which ten acres is
timber land in Nicollet county. 1t is
one of the finest farms in the county,
though somewhat run down, as it has
been in the hands of tenants for sew
eral years.
The Messrs Rose state that they in
tend to place man in charge of the
farm, improve it, and bring it back to
it's former state of richness. 1t is
proposed to put in crops, but the farm
will he mainly devoted to sheep and
hog raising. The property was secured
at bargain and the new owners are
to be congratulated upon their acQui-
sition.

THE GOOD THUNDER MEETING.

Thursday night the Democrats had
another one of their tin pan demons
trations. A torch light procession
composed of six men, few boys and
the usual crowd of kids, which one
finds in all small towns. This pro-
cession marched to the music of
drums, which in sound greatly re-
sembled the popping of corn or fall
ing of hail stones on tin roof. After
the immense crowd made their way to
the hall, which has seating capacity
of nearly hundred, and filled several
of the empty seats. After arriving at
the hall the crowd was addressed by
Mr.. w. L. Comstock, who showed up
the wheat steal and tariff in such a
glaring light that the lights in the
hall were scarcely perceptible. We
eagerly look for more
such "rallies." as their effect
on the intelligent voters cannot be
doubted. We have nearly forgotten
to say that at the speakers right on
the platform was seated our CALI
ance" editor of The Herald. who has
taken a complete tumble and has
fallen into the old slough of Democ-
racy, doubtless because he could light
there more easily than anywhere else,
and also no doubt following the ex-
ample of the noble Baker. He'll
never smile again" after election.

THE POTATO MARKET.

For several weeks past there has
been considerable competition among
potato buyers, who purchase fol
shipment. A buyer came up from
Kansas and is sending a good many
hundred bushels down there. J. G..
Roller is also shipping to Kansas, Ne
braska and South Dakota, his ship.
ments thus far amounting to about
$4,000 bushels. He is buying from 800
to 200 bushels per day. Other buy
ers have also made large shipments,
and prices have been crawling up un-
til potatoes are now worth As cents.
There are various opinions as to
whether the price will 90 higher or
lower, but from the number of loads
which daily come in, the farmers
seem to be satisfied with present prices
Mr.. Roller states that it his belief
that when cold weather sets in and
shipments can no longer be made the
price will begin to drop. While it
has been a good year for raising pota-
toes and the product is very fine, the
acreage in this section was not large.
Onions are beginning to come in and
bring 35 c9uts a bushel, which is a
fair price. Mr.. Roller has already
shipped couple of carloads, and he
states that he never saw such a large
crop of onions as was raised this year.
He says that the farmers have large
quantities on hand and are holding
them back.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

At 8 o'clock Thursdayevening,a at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. B. D. Pay,
in the presence of forty invited guests,
Mr.. Joseph Melville Halfhill and Miss
Laura Limbert were united in mar
riage by Rev. F. M. Rule. The in
terror of the house was beautifully
decorated for the occasion with flow
ers and creeping vines. An arch had
been erected between the two par
lors, with pillars of flowers on bases
Of begonias, and draped with white
and yellow china silk and wild ely
MATHS. The bride and groom stood
upon white fur rug. The bride was
handsomely attired in dress of white
wool, trimmed with crepe and ribbons
and wore bouquet of white roses.
At the conclusion of the ceremony,
which was short one. the party par
took of very nicely prepared refresh
ments. During the repast an Italian
orchestra rendered some fine music.
After a short reception and after the
many beautiful presents had been in
spected, the party proceeded to the
Omaha depot, to see the bride and
groom off on the eleven o'clock train.
The train was delayed three hours by
wreck at LeSueur, and the time
was spent pleasantly at the depot.
When it finally arrived, Mr.. and Mrs.
Halfhill were started off amid a show
er of good wishes, rice and old shoes.
They will visit Sioux City and other
points and return week from tomoI-
row, and after a few days rest the
bride will accompany her husband on
a business trip to Grand Forks, N. D.
They have finely furnished apart
mentS in @. H. Parsons house, next to
the Baptist church where they will
reside.
The bride has been resident Of
Mankato for eight years, having come
from St. Mary's, Ohio, where her
parents reside. She is lady in every
sense of the word and would grace
any household. Mr., Halfhill has been
resident of this city for the same
length of time and possesses good
business qualifications. He travels
for the Detroit Tobacco Co. and has
the confidence and esteem of his en-
ployers. 1.-THE deacon" has many
friends in all parts of his territory
The friends of both in Mankato join
in wishing them long and happy
life.

HEAVY SUITS.
Geo. w Mead, as Assignee, Brings Ac-
ton Against Geo. H. Marsh, A. j.
Morrison and Maude Stannard.
An Effort to Recover Nearly 100000
of the j. Q. A. Marsh Estate.

Three very important suits were
commenced Thursday in the district
court, the aggregate amount sought
to be recovered reaching nearly $780,.
600. Geo. w. Mead, assignee for J. c.
A. Marsh, is the plaintiff in each &C
tion. One is suit against Geo. HI.
Marsh to set aside the conveyance
of the undivided one-half of ninety
acres across the Minnesota river in
Belgrade, which J. @. A. Marsh made
to the defendant in 1866, but which
was not recorded until few days be-
fore the assignment was made last
November. The value of this undivi-
ded interest is placed at about $50, 900,
as the land is very valuable, lying so
near the city.
A. ]. Morrison and Miss Maude Stan
nard are sued to set aside certain
mortgages which j. @. A. Marsh gave
them just before he failed, the plain
tiff claiming that these mortgages
gave them unjust preference. The
mortgages were one for SSO6.4S given
to Miss Stannard, and two to Mr.
Morrison, one for S4,215 and one for
$500. These mortgages were given
to secure notes. In case they are set
aside the mortgages will receive no
more than their proportionate share
of the proceeds of the estate.
Should Mr.. Mead be successful in
recovering all that he sues for he will
be able to pay all of the creditors in
full. A. M. Rutan is attorney for the
plaintiff.
These are about as important suits as
were ever brought in this county and
an interesting legal contest will fol-
low.
Some time ago Chas. M. Marsh made
an offer to settle all of the outstand-
ing claims at rs cents upon the dollar,
conditioned upon his being able to
borrow the amount. The offer was
rejected.

Canadian Apples.

The L. Patterson Fruit House, re-
celved, the first of this week, a Cal
load Of Canadian apples, upon which
duty OF rs cents per bushel is paid.
The car contained about 100 barrels
and the duty was about S120. There
is general failure of apples all over
the northern and eastern states, and
the market is largely supplied with
Canadian fruit. The quality, of the
apples is excellent and they are fur
nished the trade at $3.50 per barrel
IS cents a barrel higher than they
would be but for the Mckinley bill
ReUieov
In years of ordinary apple crops in
the United States the duty of 62t cts.
per barrel is large enough to shut
Canadian apples out of the market,
thereby preventing the flood of our
well filled or overwhelmed markets
with foreign fruits. Chicago, regard
ed as the equalizer of prices of fruits,
places Canadian apples Is bushel bbls.,
but 10 cts. per barrel above New York
apples no peck bbls.) Take $4.OO as a
basis for New York apples and S4.1C
for Canada apples, less duty, with
freight rates the same, and we have
the Canadian apples grown at a dis
advantage of 523 cts. per barrel. In
other words the Canadian pays the
duty, not the American buyer.
TIC. bring this matter of tariff nearer
home, our farmers are getting good
price for their potatoes. Should we
take off the duty of 25 cts. per bushel
from Canadian potatoes the present
prices could not be maintained. Now
let US make this fact clear. The duty
imposed on Canadian products i'm
ported to this country makes it posi-
BILE for our farmers and fruit growers
to realize for their commodities a bet
ter price than they would were such
articles free. Who needs the benefits
of protection more than the farmer?
No one.
Apple growing is but in it's
infancy in Minnesota, and the less for
eign competition our farmers have the
sooner will they go into business on a
more extensive scale. They certainly
will not go into the business if prices
were to be kept as low as the Revieao
would like to have them. The RevieaU,
like other free trade organs, is more
solicitous of the welfare of foreign
producers and growers than of home
producers and growers.
