A $4,000 SUIT.

The administrator of the estate of
the late J. j. Haggard, of Eagle Lake,
will bring suit against the Chicago
& Northwestern road to recover $685.
600 damages on account of his death.
The sudden Earring of the train upon
which the deceased was riding threw
him against seat and he was injured
internally and died after few weeks.
A few days alter the accident he set
tied with the company for $4OO, be-
lieving that the accident did not
amount to much, and being so in
formed by his physician. A check for
the amount was given but has never
been presented for payment. The
money will be returned and an at
tempt will be made to set aside the
settlement on the ground Of alleged
fraud. The case will be commenced
in the United States court, as the
accident happened in Iowa, and it
will probably come up for trial at the
November term in this city. Attor-
neys Lovely, of Albert Lea, and Quinn,
of Wells, are attorneys for the admin
istrator.

Prays for it's Success.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, Aug. Is.
Ideem it my duty to tender this my
testimonial as an offer of gratitude for
what "Kickapoo Indian SagWa"
has done for me. 1 came out OF the
army in the fall of '65, broken down by
chronic dyspepsia in its worst form,
and was also suffering enlargement OF
the heart. I consulted the best physi-
clans, and visited institutions in the
East, and one and all told me the same
thing-I never could get well.
By suggestion of an old comrade I
took "Kickapoo Indian SagWa,"
and thank GOD for it. Sagwa has
changed my life from misery and pain
to one of health and gladness, and can
now eat anything without distress. My
heart is all right and my friends are
astonished.
The physician who knew of my case
and heard of my cure said that medi-
cine that is capable of making such
cure, he not only endorses but cheerfully
recommends to anyone.
If this testimonial comes under the
notice of any soldier who is suffering,
let him take the word of en- old COM
rade-buy bottle of Indian Sagwa at
once, and may God prosper you with
the success of this remedy is the CRATE
full prayer of

FRIDAY MAY 5. 1893.
THE HIGH WATER.

The Minnesota river has reached
the highest point since the memora BILE
spring of 1881. This noon it stood at
1871 feet above the low water mark.
This is IT feet higher than it was on
May %, 1892, when freshet occurred.
On April q, 1884, the water reached
extreme high water mark, 236 feet
above the low water mark, and 80
feet higher than it is today. This
extreme high stage does not occur
in lifetime, and may never be reach
ed again. Only a combination Of cir
cumstances made it possible at that
time. Several heavy snow storms fol-
lowed each other, covering the enUire
Minnesota Valley. This thawed very
rapidly, aided by heavy warm rains and
warm weather. Every creek and
water course was swollen and dams
went out of the smaller rivers and ell
evators were washed away. A force
of twenty-five men were employed in
boats to protect the bridge from the
great trees that came down, meeting
them up the river and chopping the
limbs off as they fioated down The
water was within six feet Of the floor
of the center of the bridge and flowed
over both approaches. 1t backed up
to Second street all ng Main and ran
into cellars on Front street. The
water spread over Belgrade to the
bluffs, and formed several strong cur
rents through the trees. There was
fear that the bridge would be washed
away. The bodies of cattle and
horses came floating down and impos-
siDle rumOrS of water that had broken
loose up the river were in circulation.
The Van Brunt's slough was great
lake, the sidewalks were washed away
and boats were used for transporta
tiOn.
The city is better prepared to meet
such a flood now. Front street has
been graded up and the Milwaukee
and Northwestern tracks have been
extended and riprapped.
The water has backed up in the
sewer as far as the corner of Main and
Second streets, and the elevator at
Tie Saulpaugh has been rendered
useless. If the water were to raise a
foot or two higher it would be neces-
sary to pump out the sewer. A pump
is in readiness for the purpose.
The low lands above and below the
city are under water, and the water
has backed up into Mud lake. 1t is
not known that any houses have been
flooded as yet, but good many peo-
pie living in exposed localities are
nervous over the situation.
The water has been very nearly sta
tionary since yesterday, and it is not
thought that it will rise much if any
more. The river presents a grand
sight, and if it would remain at its
present point Mankato could easily
have steamboat connection with ST.
Paul.
