HYMENIAL.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs III. A f..
Hurd, on Glenwood Avenue, was the
scene Of very quiet but pleasant af-
fair Monday morning. being the mar
riage of their daughter, M. Ether, to
VIM. H. Webster, of Rapidan. Rev.
l. Bergstrom was the officiating cler-
gyman, and only the immediate fam
lilies of the contracting parties were
present. The young people are both
well and favorably known in Manka-
to and vicinity and have a host of
friends who wish them every posi- BILE
happiness in their new relation. The
bride has grown to wOmandOod in this
city and is much beloved for her grace
of mind and character and womanly
qualities. She is graduate of the
Normal school and was a favorite
teacher wherever she has been. The
groom is best known for his excellent
business qualities. His cautious
manner of conducting his business
and his geniality have won for him
the esteem of the citizens of this
place as well as of those at Rapidan,
where he performs the duties of sta
tion agent and postmaster, together
with those of merchant and farmer.
Mr.. and Mrs. Webster took the 1886
train for Sioux City, and will visit
several points in Iowa and Southern
Minnesota, returning about Oct. 15,af-
ter which time they will be at home
to their friends at Rapidan, Min.

FAIR NOTES.

Friday evening two we'll attended
nd enjoyable dances were held at
Garden City. One was held in Beebe's
hall and the other in the old hotel.
Lovelett's orchestra furnished music
for the former and local violinists for
the latter.
The trotting races were well con-
tested, but much dissatisfaction was
expressed over the evident unfairness
of the last heat of the running race
Geo. B. Owen had an exhibit from
his music and bicycle store.
Mr.. Windmiller had 100 plants dis
played, besides beautiful cut flowers.
He took many premiums.

good color.
A. Alderman had a fine exhibit of
woods and grasses. He had a num-

DISTRICT COURT MATTERS.
The Suit of Humphrey J. Roberts VS..
VIM. j. Williams Won by the
Defendant.

Judge Severance Tuesday filed de
cision in the suit brought by Hum
phrey j. Roberts, as administrator OF
the estate of DavidJ. Reece, deceased
VS.. VIM. J. Williams and the Citizens
National Bank.
The suit was brought to recover
1850, which Mr. Reece deposited in
the Citizens National Bank Oct. q,
1891, and took certificates of deposit
for. He died Jan. q, 1892, but three
weeks before his death he signed over
his certificates to Mr.. Williams on
condition that the latter would care
for him during the remainder of his
life, which proved to be nearer the end
than was thought.
Jno. r. Thomas was appointed spec
lal administrator of the estate, and
was succeeded by Mr.. Roberts, who
carried on the suit, alleging that
Mr.. Williams wilfully, fraudulently
and knowingly, and with intent to
cheat and defraud, while Reece was
physically and mentally unfit, induced
him to sign the certificates over, with
cut consideration. This was denied
by the defendant.
Judge Severance found that Reece
did this for good and valuable con-
sideration, and found that the plain
tiff is not entitled to any relief. A stay
of twenty days was granted. The at
torneys for the plaintiff are Hughes
& Comstock and Pau & Young, while
Thos. Hughes appears for the de-
PENDANTS. The case has attracted
much attention, especially among
those who know the parties.
In the suit for divorce brought by
Miriam Williams against Richard
Williams, an order was made for the
payment of attorneys fees.
In the suit of Selner Fellows VS.. G.
nj. Cummings, ct al, as trustees of
joint school district 1872 and SO, the
demurrers were over-ruled, but the'de-
PENDANTS have leave to withdraw their
demurrerS and answer the complaint
within a limited time.

ODE TO THE SEI.

0, when lay me down to die,
Dear friend, ask one boon Of thee
To take me to that hrme love,
That lonely spot beside the sea.
nv grave will need no hcadstone there,
The swelling surge that breaks on shore
Will chant low, sad requiem
Ofone who is no more.
And when the waves may throw her arms
OF foam and sand upon,the beach,
Perchance a crest might find home
Upon my breast within its reach.
No flowers will want to blossom there,
But let the foaming pillows cast
Their polished pebbles DER my breast,
That loved their thunders to the last.
Nv grave will want no shelter there;
No shade beside the evening tide,
Its waves will co0llthe sands enough,
My humble bed they may not hide.
The whip-poor-wll need sing no song
O'er her who lies beneath the sand;
He dare not rob the sca-gull of
His proud, his birthright land.
care not for an earthly one,
To weep and wall around my tomb.
The one who keeps my watch through lif'
Will watch and Danish all the gloom.
He'll keep His eye both day and night
Upon the lone and humble spot;
NAV be dead to all the world,
But BY my God be not forgot.

Time ohanres an Thinsb.

Did Weaver hate the South? It
is quite possible. Did any Of us who
were rebel soldiers hate the Yankees?
Well, for us we did, and have said
many hard, and bitter things, and we
have heard things said against them
by almost every one South who has
been heard to speak Of them. Time
changes the opinions of men. We
hate the North because we had been
taught by partisan papers that we
should, and the same racket they are
desiring tokeep up now, but twill not
do. Polk wentinto Kansas and broke
down the barrier that had been raised,
and down went Ingalls,, the arch enemy
of the North and South. Three years
ago the people Of the two sections
were enemies, now they are friends,
aye, more than friends, we are bro
theirs, we have clasped hands, and The
death of Colonel Polk shows how
closely we are allied. So strong has
that love become for each other that
at the ballot box next November
Field willrecei7e not only the votes Of
the South but votes of the North and
Northwest, and Weaver will receive
the votes not only of the North but
of the solid South as we'll. For this
one act OF L. L. Polk. the breaking
down of the barrier that separated
North and South, he deserves the
highest monument that has ever been
raised to man. in America. Is not
Cleveland a South Halter? His
friends say no. He has always ex-
pressed sympathy tor the South, just
enough to keep her under bondage to
Wall Street, and hen the South says
she wants free silver Cleveland says

Tho First Protestant in Japan.

The first Protestant Christian in ia
pan was one Murata, military retainer
Of the Lord of Saga, in the southern is
land of Kiushiu. In 1860 he went to
Nagasaki, by order of his chief, and one
evening, as he was crossing the harbor
in a boat. he picked up book that was
floating about in the water. The writing
ran from side to side, like the crawling
of crabs" and upon sending it to one of
the Dutch then settled at Nagasaki, he
learned that it was the Christian Bible,
then a prescribed book. Curiosity spur
red him on, and he had one Of his as
sistants learn the language of the book
and translate it for him, sentence by
sentence.
His study was continued in secret,
with a few friends, after his return
home. When difficult passage was
found. q messenger was sent to DR.. Yer
beck. q well known missionary then in
EaSasaAi, for its Interpretation. Murata
was afterward baptized, and his name
now stands first on the roll of Protes-
tant Christians in Japan. = London

he Effectiveness of Modern Guns.

The prominence given to lecture by
the German doctor. DR.. Billroth. on the
wounded in war. has induced Mr.. Archi-
bad Forbes to write on the subject.
DR.. Billroth estimates that of the cas-
palties at Weissenburg and Worth dur
ing the Franco-German war, so per cent.
of all the wounded were caused by rifles,
Is per cent. by the large guns, and not
quite per cent. by the lance and sword.
Mr.. Forbes, however. says that the sta
tistics for the whole of the war on the
German side prove that over 80 per cent.
were due to rife fire. about per cent.
to artillery. and about per cent. to cold
steel.
The smallness of the mortality from
the French artillery is explained by the
fact that their artillery was VIGOROUSLY
badly served. DR.. Billroth believes that
the future will see still greater pro-
portion of deaths resulting from rife
fire than from shell. Mr.. Forbes points
out that, in doing so. no account has
been taken of the probable use of highly
destructive explosives in the shells of
the future.-Army .and Navy Gazette.
