The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1893-10-05

The regents of the Minnesota Uni
versity, or the majority of them that
awarded the contract for stone for the
new building on the U grounds to the
Ohio company, the stone to be sand
stone, have made a serious mistake.
Aside from the fact that there is plen-
ty of as good stone in Minnesota as
the Ohio sandstone, yea, even the
Finn quarries in Rock Valley furnish
better grade, they have taken the
bread out of the mouths of Minnesota
families and given it to Ohio families,
and this is year when such acts are
to be condemned. There is no plausi-
BILE excuse for the act. 1t was merely
the aristocratic ideas of these aristo-
cratic members that stole the bread
from Minnesota laborers, and they
should be made to regret their actions.

YELLOW JACK RAGING.

The Epidemic at Brunswick, Ga,
Continues on the Increase.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. Oct 2.-Twelvenew
cases of yellow fever were reported
Sunday, 10 white and two colored.
Sixty-five patients are now under treat
ment. Surgeon Murray arrived at 10
O'clock from Jesup and reports that the
autopsy on G. j. Warren, the deputy
sheriff who died there Sunday, proved
beyond question that he had yellow
fever. 1t is stated that Warren had not
been in any infected district within the
past few>weeks, and if this be true, the
theory that it requires only 10 days in
cubation for the fever to develop will
be proved unreliable. The idea that
negroes are by nature exempt from the
disease is also dissipated. The negroes
to date have been the greatest sufferers
from the epidemic, and SO
Many Fatal Cases
have developed among them that scien-
lists are investigating. No cheering
words are truthfully written on the
situation. The scourge is sure to stay
till frost. Four-fifths of the people
here will have the fever before the
frost. This is no idle statement. but
the result of careful consultation with
the physicians. Surgeon Murray is
working day and night. Saturday af-
ternoon he visited Miss Orilla Dart on
Simmons Island and found her much
improved. He returned at midnight
and left on special train for Jesup,
held an autopsy there and returned to
Brunswick at II o'clock.

ATLANTIC GALES.

Southern Coast Again Visited by a
Severe Storm.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct. ga southeast
gale broke here about 4 q. m. and the
wind has been increasing in velocity
ever since until at this hour Il p. MI it
blowing at least 50 miles an hour.
The barometer is still falling. The
wind has blown the water in from the
gulf until the river has reached Royal
street, which is four blocks from the
river and at an elevation Of about 10
feet from mean river height. There is
no possible chance of estimating the
money damage. All the Wholesale and
a great portion Of the retail district Of
the city is some four feet under water
and thousands of dollars worth of
goods have been damaged. The pilot
boat Ida Low has been driven on the
wharf at the foot of st. Francis street.
The bay boat Heroine was driven on
the Mobile and Ohio wharf and
Almost Totally Wrecked.
The Crescent City, another bay boat,
left Point Clear at the same time the
Heroine did and has not since been
heard from.
It is reported that three dredges
working in the channel have been lost.
It is also reported here that some so
miles of the Louisville and Nashville
road along the coast is also under
water and that the Biloxi bridge has
been swept away. Nothing has been
heard of the gardeners in the marshes
east of the city, and the worst is feared.
Telegraphic communication is cut off
in every direction. In this city houses
have been unroofed, trees blown down
one cotton warehouse has
Succumbed to the Fury of the Gale.
All the smokestacks of the manufac-
turing industries have been blown
down. Street car traffic has been to-
tally suspended because of the damage
to the electric wires. and the city will.
no doubt, be in darkness, as the ayes
are fast encroaching on the electric
light works, which may be under water
in another hour. The busiest thor
oughfares of the city are beng navi-
gated in boats and people are wading
up to their armpits in an effort to save
goods. It is the worst storm that has
ever visited Mobile. The southern
part of the city presents such scene
of wreckage that it looks as if it had
been mbarded. The towers on the
court house and Christ church are tot
tering. Dredge No. was turned oyer
near the lighthouse and a man Was
drowned. An unknown white man
lost his footing while wading from the
Union depot and was swept under a
bridge and drowned.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2.-The town ia
still talking about the gigantic swindl-
ing operations of Louis F. Menage, and
wonders if the grand jury, which re-
convenes on Tuesday, will secure sufd-
Gent evidence to indict others connected
with the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company. There is talk that the city
will offer a reward for Menage. The
impression still prevails that the big
operator on other peoples money has
not left the country. The report that
Menage is hiding in the mountains of
Chill does not wash with the business
community, neither does the story that
he had only $4,000 when he left Mime

A Great Trio.

During the financial panic that oc-
CURED in General Jackson's administra-
ton, in connection with his removal of
the public deposits from the United
States bank, the suggestion was made in
Boston that a delegation of three per-
sons be sent to Washington to see the
president and persuade him, if possible,
to reconsider his action. -
An old Quaker merchant, who was one
of the insolvents, viewed this idea with
great favor and nominated for the pur-
pose certain merchant remarkable for
his flow of language, another who wept
with ease on all occasions and himself
for the third delegate.

UNCONDITIONAL REPEAL

1t Is Conceded to Be Impossible and
There Will Be Compromise.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The capital
was full of rumors during the day re-
garding compromise. 1t is now said
a proposition is being considered which
involves tariff revision. The PROPOSE
tion to compromise by amending the
repeal bill so it will not take effect I'M
til 1896 is unsatisfactory to Republican
repealers, who declare that they will
not support such an amendment or vote
for the bill with such poviso. Uncon-
ditional repeal is almost universally
conceded to be impossible and there is
no doubt but the Democratic leaders Of
the repeal movement, with Mr.. Ceve-
lands consent, are engaged in an effort
to arrive at some sort of compromise.

THE NEW TARIFF BILLS

Trade Document.


Trade Document.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The latest
rumor about the new tariff bill to be
promulgated by the house ways and
means committee is that Chairman
Wilson has already rough draft of
the measure. 1t is claimed that the
measure now drafted has incorporated
in it the views of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle. It is said that
Chairman Wilson has not the intention
of reporting the bill to the house for
Elk weeks or two months. He certainly
will not report it until the election re-
peal and Sherman acts are disposed of.
Those who claim to have inside infor-
nation declare that the bill drafted
does not make any radical cuts in
schedules now in operation and is in no
case free trade document.

SOME of the leading papers of the republic of Mexico advocate the sus- pension oi payment of interest or principal on the public debt of that country until such time as the two metals shall become closer in their relations to each other. The debt of Mexico was contracted when gold and silver were nearly at par with each other. The bonds and interest there on were made payable in gold. As the bonds become due they must be paid in gold, which is at a frightful premium. Merico is not responsible for this state of affairs. It is the bondholders themselves who nave de- precisted silver. and the Mexican theory, which is certainly a good one, is that they should lie down in the nest they have befouled.
