Justice Of the Peace French, of
kasota. was arrested Tuesday on the
charge OF incest, preferred by his wife,
who charged that her husband had
been crimiually intimate with his p
year old daughter for the past three
years. Wednesday the action for in
cest was dismissed and Mr.. French
was at once re-arrested on the charge
OF carnally knowing child under II
years of age. Yesterday morning the
case was again dismissed. and Mr..
French was again re-arrested. This
action was dismissed on the ground of
want of prosecution. The, st. Peter
Herald gives the following as Mrs.
French'S story: "About three years
ago a sister of Mrs French visited the
family and upon the occasion of the
visit was accompanied by little
daughter, a cousin of the girl, to
whom Myrtle told the story, but
charged her with secrecy. The cousin
short time ago was taken TO Oregon
where she told the tale to an aunt.
This aunt informed the mother of the
state of things and the mother spoke
to the daughter of the affair, when
she broke down and confessed the
whole story. She claims that the
crime was first committed about
three years ago and has been kept up
at regular intervals since, the last Of
Tense as stated, taking place a week
ago last Sunday.

Architect Gerlach has commenced
work on plans for the new jail, to be
submitted to the county commission
ers July 18th. In general outward
design the Jail will be an imposing
and handsome structure, and will re-
semble the new Jail at Madison, Wis.
So far as the interior is concerned, IL
Will resemble the new jail that is be-
ing constructed at CroOkStOn. The
building will have frontage OF 52
feet, and the front portion, to depth
of 40 feet, will be used as the sheriff's
and jailor's residence, and will include
the offices and kitchen. Back of this
will be the Jail lproper, 3S feet square.
A donjon tower at the corner will be
sixty feet high and will be embattled.
On the other front corner turret
will rise. The building will be two
stories high and made of stone or
stone and brick. The walls will be
thick and strong. The Jail part,sher-
ifs and sick ward will be fire proof.
The cell department alone will cost
from S1O,O to $4,000, and will be of
steel or steel and iron. There will be
sixteen cells for male prisoners, ar
ranged in two tiers, with four on
each side both below and above.
There will be small corridors for the
prisoners to exercise in. Possibility
of escape or harm to the officers is re-
duced to the minimum. The jailor
can shut each cell door by means of
automatic levers out side of the cell
department. Observation holes will
enable the entire cell department to
be seen from other parts of the Jail.
Allof the latest Improvements tending
to secure holding of the prisoners will
be made use of.
On the second floor of the Jail de-
partment will be four cells for female
prisoners and four for boys, which
will bring them out of sight and hear
ing of the male prisoners. The Jail
will be heated by steam from the
plant in the court house, by means
of wrapped pipes passing through a
tunnel. The building will cost, en-
tire, from $1,000 to S35, 900. 1t will
meet the requirements OF the county
for a generation to come, at least, aud
will have the endorsement of Secre-
tary Hart, of the board of corrections
and charities.

FRIDAY, JULY I, 1898.
FARrIERS' rlEETlNG.

A fairly well attended meeting OF
farmers was held at the city hall
Saturday to consider the purchase or
binding Irvine. John Diamond was
elected chairman and N. Bruels Sec
rotary.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to solicit purchasers among
the farmers, to secure carload OF
twlne: Adam Arnold. chairman, l..
S. Foster c. II. Shelby, HI. H. Ed
wards, n. Bruels, Joseph Kern, Frank
Schultz, John Diamond, HI. @. Ran
dali.
A letter received from Henry Wal
fer. warden of the state prison at
Saltwater, by John Diamond was read
and stated that the railroads would
not give tariff rates on less than 10000
pounds of Irvine. He was anxious for
the farmers of this county to have
prison Irvine, on account Of the inter-
est that they had shown in it. The
demand this year for it is very heavy.
The statement was made by one OF
those present that The Irvine furnished
by the prison this year is better than
that of last year. The price is eight
cents pound, reduction of one cent
from last year. A railroad will deliv-
er it at IA cents a 100 pounds, and
Glenn Schroeder appeared and offered
to store it in his ware house. The
prison Irvine gave first rate satisfac-
tion last year. There is but one kind
made, the hemp, and it runs from $40
to $40 feet TO the pound. Those pres
ent subscribed for 1850 pounds.
GeO.W. Sugden appeared and stated
that he represented the John Good
Cordage Co., and that he would de-
liver in Mankato standard Irvine at s.
cents, 500 fl. to the pound or pure
MANILA at 104, $50 it. to the pound.
The committee later held meeting
and selected a finance committee,
consisting of L. S. Foster, f. Schultz
and N. Bruels, to receive the pay
mentS. 1t was decided that the
money for Irvine ordered must be de-
posted in the Mankato National
Bank by July 18th. Where the
money is not in by that time the
names will be dropped.
On motion of III. III. Edwards
the committee decided to stand
by the prison Irvine, by a
unanimous vote.
1t was voted that when the Irvine
is delivered the purchaser shall pay
the freight and other expenses pro
rata. Last year the freight to Ma
plet0n was 80 cents per 100 lbs, while
this year to this city it will be but
IA cents.
1t was stated that the committee
should be permanent organization
to-lOok after the interests of the
farmers in any other way that it
could,
Any one desiring Irvine and not
seeing any member of the committee
can deposit their money with their
order at the bank.
An adjournment was taken until |
July s, at loo p. M, at the city hall.

THE Plan or EX-SENiTOR HENDnRSON

THF Plan or EX-SENiTOR HENDnRNON
Ex-senator Henderson. Of Missouri. has made
n really valuable contribution 10 the financial
literature of the day. Though recognized rs Il
man Of marked ability, he has not taken such
part in monetary discussions Of late years as
10 lead the public TO expect from hm state
mcnt 50 full Of information Is his letter 10
cecrctal, Carlisle For although Mr.. Hen
dcrSon is an ultra monomctallist, and presents
views regarding bank issues which most adj
v0cateS Of sound money may not be able 10
approve, his rCasonlngS regarding the effect OF
silver legislation deserve attention.
Many other writers have exposed the falla
cious notion that the volume of money in circi
Iatioi determines the business activity or the
prosperity of a people, but the task has not
often been better performed than by Mr.. Hen
dcison The evidence that, after the discon-
tinuancc Of silver coinage in 1873 the country
gained largely in gold, and presently attained
great prosperity. also merits the attention Of
silver men, Under the act Of 1878. Mr.. Hen
dcrson reasons the Government began to make
mischief for itself by coming silver not re-
o,rcd in ordinary business, and which the
people could not have been persuaded or com
PEELED to take into circulation except as a
representative of the gold for which it was
interchangeable. Not even in that light was
it possible to get into actual circulation more
than about $50, 000,0 of the standard sill
Yer. and all the rest OF the silver coined and
the bullion stored up by the Treasury have
been of no use whatever as money, nor have
they in the slightest degree increased public
confidence in the ability OF the Government to
redeem its notes.
Mr. Henderson make, the same mistake which
Secretary Carlisle and the President seem to
be making in comparing the cost of silver
purchased with its value if sold at the present
market price, and assuming that this measures
the loss by its purchase. The fact is that the
stock of silver held by the United States could
not be sold at any price. and the actual loss
is the entire amount which has been paid to
ocouiyc that useless bulk Of silver. Even if
the United States were to sell only portion
of its silver say $50, O00, 900 in value at a
time. it would quickly so dcpresS the price and
so gorge the markets of the world that it would
become impossible To get bid at any price
for any more of the metal Since the suspen-
sion of silver coinage in India the case is even
clearer than it was before. but Germany
learned to its cost the impracticablity of sell
ing any large amount of silver before the mar
kct had become demOralized. This is the fatal
objection to one point Of the ex-Senator's pro-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1893-07-04
