to this course, than from any

THE so CALLED "CRANk."
More Dangerous Than the Outright Luna
tic and Should BE Made Harmless.

More Dangerous Than the Outright Luna
tic and Should Be Made Harmless.
| In some respects the crank is more
dangerous than the outright lunatic. The
latter usually gives warning of has in
tention, and he makes his assault OK the
first man within reach. The latter in
spires carelessness by the very contempt
in which he is held, but when he gets
ready for his bloody work it is not the
next bystander, but the most conspicu-
ous-frequently the most beloved and
useful members of the community
whom he has marked for slaughter. Is
his worthless neck really so precious that
we should take this chance for it? The
indulgence of law and authority for the
crank should come to an end.
Whenever and wherever a man is
known to have made threats against any
one, whenever menacing letters are traced
back to him, whenever he is shown clear
ly to be of unsound mind and possessed
by delusion, he ought to be placed under
some restraint or surveillance, and when
ever he carries his peculiaritles to the
| length of murder the community should
be rid of him.
The insanity defense has done its work
by saving few real madmen from the
scatfold, to drag out the rest of the liv-
| ing death that life is to them in asylums
or to plot new dangers to the communi-
ty, but it has offered untold encourage
ment and immunity to crime, and it has
deprived us of some of our bravest and
our best. The tolerance of the crank
digs the mine and lays the train by which
innocent men and valued citizens are to
come to their death whenever some pc
culiarly stimulating and exciting Cir
cumstance sets the disarranged mind of
the crank on murder. Embryo assassins
walk the streets of nearly all our large
cities and are regarded only with pity
ing smile. It is time that we drew the
lines more strictly, and in the interest of
self preservation provided for the crank
safe retreat.-St. Paul Pioneer Press

The young people of the Presby
terian church have started fund for
the purchase of pipe organ for their
new church. They have set their
minds on having the finest organ out
side of the twin cities; an organ cost
ing probably $4,000 They are going
enthusiastically to work and are
counting on the hearty and substan-
tial support of every lover of fine
music in Mankato. The young peo-
pie will raise $500 per year among
themselves, by subscription, and will
give a series Of high class parlor en-
tertainments, musicales, etc, which
will undoubtedly add materially to
the fund. The first of these enter
tainments will be musicale at the
residence of Geo. I'll. Clark on Friday
evening, Dec. 1st. A very fine pro-
gram has been prepared and keenest
enjoyment is assured all who love good
music. There will be no charge for
admission, but each one present will
be expected to pay what he considers
the entertainment and the purpose
worth.
The suit of w. T. Jones against
Henry Wolff to recover about $3.50 al
lodged to be due him as wages as bar

yesterday and argued today. The
case was taken under advisement. W.

and w. N Plymat for the defendant.
The plaintiff introduced the testi-
mony of number of bar tenders to
show that his claim of $50 a month
was reaso""hle, while Mr.. Wolff intro
duced eviden TO show that the
agreemeu. " as that MI. Jones was to
receive SIS d muuUu and board. Mr..

We desire to again direct the at
tentlon of our readers to the an
nouncement made in these columns
yesterday by the committee of bust
ness men who are perfecting the ar
rangements for Miss Collins Benefit
Entertainment, and ask all not to
lose sight of the fact that the drama
Pygmalion and Galetea is a stronger
drama than any other that has been
presented in this city for long time.
1t is of highly classical nature, and
pure throughout. Although the en-
tertainment is denOminated bene-
lit to Miss Collins, it is not the pur-
pose of the management to aim
merely TO draw crowd, but each one
attending will get more than value
received. Prices have been placed at
so and % cents.

AN OLD SETTLER GONE.

Thomas Benedict. one of the early
settlers of the county, died at his
home two miles south of Good Thun-
der at eleven O'Clock Monday. He
was born III Delaware county, Ohio,
ffty-nine years ago, and moved to
Blue Earth county twenty-five years
ago. BY hard work and life of con-
slant activity he accumulated a COM
Portable property, including farm
of 240 acres. He raised an excellent
family. and widow and four child
rem survive him. The children are
County Attorney g. L. Benedict, Man
fred and Allen Benedict and Mrs. w.
johnson, of South Shore, S. ID. Three
brothers and three sisters are also liv-
ing. Allen Benedict being the only
one in this county.
The deceased was first taken sick
four years ago, when he suffered from
the grippe. He never recovered his
full health after that time, but grad
ually failed, although he was not
obliged to take to his bed until five
months ago. Just what affection he
suffered from was not known. but it
is now thought to have been cancer of
the stomach. A specialist from Bos-
ton was called at large expense to aid
the attending physicians, but was not
successful in benefitting the sick
man. He finally died peacefully and
without struggle.
Mr.. Benedict was one Of those ster
ling, progressive and staunch charac-
tiers who Subdued the wilderness and
made the west what it is today. He
was highly esteemed by large num-
Der of friends and acquaintance. He
never wanted an office, but took
lively interest in his party, and was
frequently delegate from his town,
at the county conventions. In his
death the county has cast first-class
citizen, and his family a kind husband
and indulgent father.

cane between here and Nashville.
Conductor Davis saw peculiarly
strange looking cloud ahead of him
and apparently not more than 200
yards away. 1t hung low, seemingly
skimming along the surface, and was
inky black in color, with a curious
looking broad white stripe running
up and down the center. Capt. Davis
chose an open spot beyond the tall
timber and held the train; with his
engine headed toward the ugly mon
ster, he calmly awaited its approach;
1t struck the engine with a roar and a
whirr, almost unhorsing Engineer
High aud creating alarm among the
passengers. The coaches creaked and
swayed, but held firmly to the rails.
The full force of the storm did not
strike the train-and fortunate il was
so, as somebody would in that event
have been hurt in the collision-but
passed few hundred feet to his right,
where it cut clean swath through
the timber for some distance.

A Tried Remedy for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or
inaction of the liver will never get the
upper hand of the unruly organ so
long as they use such irrational reme-
dies as blue pill, calomel and podophyl-
lin. But from the tried and popular
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
they may expect relief with certain
ty Of obtaining it. The influence Of
the Bitters upon sthe great hillary
gland is direct, powerful and speedily
felt. The relief afforded is not spas
modic, but complete and permanent
The sallowness of the skin, furred ap-
pearance of the tongue, indigestion
costiveness, headache, nausea, pains
through the right side and shoulder,
in fact every accompaniment of the
obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by course Of this
inestimable medicine, in behalf OF
which testimony is constantly eman-
ating from every quarter, and from
all classes of society.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

On with the Work .

The DEMOCRAT has recently con-
tanned several articles on the pro-
gress of the work on the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf railway South
from Fort Smith, and the rapidity
with which the work of surveying
preliminary and permanent lines has
been carried on South of Texarkana.
In discussing this subject the News
Record, of Fort Smith, Ark, has this
to say:
"Ed Hines cams home yesterday
morning from Sulphur Springs, where
he has been looking after some con-
tracts for grading ON the Southern
extension of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf railway. He says that
sub-contracts for the grading of twen-
ty of the twenty-six miles of road be-
tween Sulphur Springs and Sloan
Springs, have been let. lie secured
the contract for one mile of the work,
the sixth mile south of Sulphur
Springs.
He reports the work progressing
rapidly, the contractors,on the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth miles having one
hundred and fifty teams at work. The
other contractors will go to work just
as soon as they can get teams. Ber-
nard Kerrigan, who has the whole
contract, is on the ground and is max
ing the sub-contractors push The work
as rapidly as possible. The motto of
Mr.. Kerrigan, the chief engineer and
everyone connected with the road is,
"On to Fort Smith," and the sooner
they can reach this city the better
they will be pleased.
Mr.. Hines says that the outfits at
work on the road are the finest he
ever saw used in railroad construc-
tion. He will return to Sulphur
Springs Tuesday or Wednesday to
begin work on his contract"
