STATEMENT FROM Mr.. NELSON.
He Says the Railroad Attorney Story Is a
FalsehOo!f from Be@inning to End.

He Says the Railroad Attor"ey story Is a
Falsehood from Beginning to End.
| Minneapolis Journal: Mr.. Nelson's
attention was called to the fact that Mr..
| Donnelly and certain Peoples party and
Democratic newspapers have been
| charging or insinuating in one form on,
another that Mr.. Nelson is the attorney
of the Great Northern or the Manitoba
Railway company. Mr.. Nelson said:
'.That i, the old chestnut that was
used by Mr. Kindred i'll his congress
sional campaign in 1892 One of the
main charges made by him in that cam
paign against me was that was "a rail
road attorney. 1t was proclaimed al
| ovcrthe Fifth district, far aul wide, but
the people at that time paid no attention
to the false charged was elected to
congress by a large plurality; and my
six years course i'll congress, think,
demonstrated that on all public ques-
lions affecting the railroads for in-
stance, such questions as the interstate
commerce law, a.ld the various land
grant forfeiture bills that were reported
by the committee oapublic land;,--I was
always OH the side Of the people"
"What, then, was the basis Of the
charges, Mr. Nelson 2"
"The only basis for the charge made
in 'S2 was this: In 1879, whelI the Man
itoba railroad, then under the manage
Of T..
Alexandria to Barnesville, was EN-
ployed by Mr.. Farley to ail his right of
way agent. wherever he was unable to
accomplish it, to secure the right Of way
for the road, and whenever necessary, to
take the proper steps for condemnation
proceedings. While commissioners were
appointed, there were only three cases
ON the entire line that We're taken into
the district court. and these We're in the
city of Fergus Falls, and grew out of a
controversy between rival parties there
touching the location Of tie road
through the town.
''The following year I aided the road
in securing the right of way on what
was known us its Pelican iina, and in
1881, at the request OF Mr.. GA],1s!1a, then
the solicitor OF the road, who was unable
to come to coart, tried one case for the
company in his behalf. Since that time
l have done no law business OF any other
business of any kind whatsoever, either
for the Manitoba railway OF the Great
Northern, OF for Mr.. Hill, or for any
other railway company.
During all the time since my re-
turn from congress I have not only
done no business for any railroad com
pany, Or any officers thereof, but have
done considerable work against diff .rent
comp mics. | have h.l. among other
Regal wur... over fifty l.ni cases in th,

Ny DEAR SjR-ln response to you,
communication Of the 23d ultimo, ell
cioaiis; il letter from Hon. knute Nelson
ct Alexandria, Mimi, calling your
;st!eu ion to the cases which lie repre-
sents as attorney, and which are pend.
ing before the department., against the
Northern Pacific Railroad company.
and asking you to see the secretary and
ascertain " mat is tie status thereof, and
what the prospects are for early consid.
Grafton, l have to say, that while Mr..
sNelsou has been active and diligent in
the prosecution Of his cases. and no
blame can legitimate!y attach to him on
account of the seeinin; delay, yet hope
he will bear in mind that no fault can
be found with the department for what
he and his clients seem to think indicate
inace'on. 1t follows the same rule which
is observed i'll the appellate courts in dis
posing OF cases upon the docket in tie
order in which the appeals are taken and
filed
On March 4, 1889, there were upon the
docket ,5S1 cases and the secretary was
abont "a year behind in diposing of
them. There are now about 1892 cases
cases upon the docket, and it will PROB.
ably be eight months before the last
c.lse which has been filed will be reached
in is regular order, so you see we have
gaif.ed some four months with an in
creased docket. I hope Mr.. Nelson will
Tear in mind that it is but fair and just
that the parties shall have their cases
considered III their regular order, and
taGS there is no reason assigned why his
cases should be taken up and advanced
over others which were filed here prior
TO his. BY order of the secretary no
case is made special unless there is some
public interest involved, or where to
require the case to await its regular call
upon the docket would work practical
denial Of justice. Nothing of that kind
appears in Mr.. Nelson's case.
enclose you a list giving their status
Which will show that fair proportion
have been disposed Of, and in very few
weeks the majority Of them will have
been passed upon by the department..
Hoping that this will prove satisfactory,

DON'T DOG THE Cows.-Every one
who has anything to do with a COW
should learn thoroughly this fact
that every annoyance and thing that
eXcites or frets her takes a proportion
from both the amount and richness OF
her yield, and in just so much takes
money from her owners pocket. A
man who will permit it to be done,
much less, himself dog the COWS home
from the pasture or kick and CLUB
them about the barn or yard is not a
fit person to own or have charge OF
cows. 1t is not only cruel to the de
fenceless cow, but is ruinous to his own
finances, a reason that ought to appeal
strongly enough to his ayarice to COM
pei proper treatment of his property
If humanity will not.

DiDtheria

One of my children was down with
diptheria. and was in a critical con
dition. An old man who heard OF the
case asked if we had tried pineapple
Juice. We tried it, and the child got
well. I have known it tried in hun
dreds of cases. ] have told my friends
about it whenever l heard of a case,
and never knew it to fail. You get a
ripe pineapple, squeeze out the juice,
and let the patient swallow it. The
Juice is of so corrosive a nature that 1t
will cut out diphtheritic mucous, and
if YOU will take the fruit before it is
ripe, and give the juice to a person
whose throat is we'll, it makes the
mucous membranes of his throat sore.

which so preyed upon her mind that
she suicided yesterday from grief by
drowning herself in q pond. she
was observed by Mr.. Kennedy to wade
in the pond and hold her head under
the water for a minute or two during

of deep means. Finally she laid down
