Third-The spiritual life relieves us
from labors and care. This did not
mean inactivity, he said, because in
activity was not rest. Labor was rest,
where one could pass from one labor
to another. Gladstone, tired of labor

would pick up his axe and seek rest
in chopping down a tree. The rest
would be from the clog of the mater

they wanted to be relieved of it, to

Q,Q.Blvua&l,
MACHINERY EN- ROUTE.
The Diamond Drill Should Reach
Here Tomorrow,

The McKinleys have written to their
correspondent here, the Citizens Bank,
to the effect that they have purchased
all necessary machinery for sinking
the shaft into the probable coal fields
of Redwood county, land that the same
left the shipping yards at the manu-
facturers' during the latter part of last
week, and ought to arrive here to-day
or tomorrow. john Mckinley will
head for Redwood Falls just as soon
as he is notified that the machinery
has arrived and he will be accompanied
by the men necessary to operate the
drill. 1t is probable that work will
commence during the next three
weeks. The first work will probably
be quite a distance back from the
bluff, as the general belief seems to
be that coal will be found in that vi
entity much quicker than if the shaft
should be sunk right at the bluff.
Alfred Moon, through q misunder-
standing, has not leased his eighty
acre tract to the McKinleys. It ap-
pears that the brothers made him an
offer,which was not acceptable to him,
and he continued his work. Later on
he was made another offer, but he has
not accepted the same. He, together
with his son, j. Ed. Moon, ARE engaged
in drilling at the mouth of the present
Ignite mine, and last Saturday after
noon they reached depth of forty
feet, passing threw hard sand, into
dark soil, through which they we're
working at that time. Their expert
enced miner, Mr.. Sullivan, is more
than sanguine of striking find, bas-
ing his predictions on the soil already
passed through. The Moons contend
that they will prosecute work on their
farm until they are satisfied that there
is no coal thereon until some one pur-
chases or leases their land.

TELLS HIM 70 -G1T.
But Chief Crooks Continues to Saw
Wood at the Old Stand.

The row between Mayor Bell, three
members of the council ON the behalf
of Chief Crooks, goes merrily ON, and
there is now bright prospect for it
continuing until the 1886 election, as
the three members of the council are
determined that the present Chief of
Police shall not be removed, while
Mayor Bell is obstinate in attempting
to remove him.
The little affair took another turn
last week, when Mayor Bell sent, or
handed the following note, self explain
atory, to Mr.. Crooks:
REDWOOD FALLS, MINI, FEB. 10Th,
1894 Wan. Crooks: Sir-Take no
tice, that I have this day removed you
from the office as policeman, deeming
it for the best interest and welfare of
the city. FL. N. BELL, Mavor.
The one great trouble with this no
tice of removal seems to be that it does
not remove. There have been no
charges preferred against the Chief
of Police, and until charges are pre-
ferred Mr.. Crooks will probably con-
tinue to act as he has sworn to do, as
Chief of Police. until his successor is
duly elected and qualified. He states
that he would have resigned some
time ago, had Mr.. Bell told him that
there were strong probabilities that
their views on municipal affairs were
different, and that they could not
agree, but now, after there was such a
practically unanimous request that he
remain in the Office on the part of the
people he would continue to act until
a successor was legally appointed and
qualified.
When Feb. 10th, 1894, was reached
on the calendar. Mayor Bell was called
into the Office of the city recorder for
the purpose of signing the vouchers of
the various city official and employees,
as we'll as the other bills. He placed
his autograph on all of the vouchers
prepared by the Recorder, and left the
office. But it appears he next glanced
over the charter, and discovered a
clause, IN effect, that unless otherwise
provided for by the council, the salar-
les of the city officials and employees
shall be paid quarterly land he straight
way returned to the Recorders office
and cancelled every voucher drawn in
favor of city official or employees.
It is probable that at the next meet
ing of the city council, which will like
ly be special one, the Recorder will
be directed to draw these vouchers on
the 10th of each month, and bridge
this technicality. An assessor will al
SO be elected by the council, and this
may create excitement, as there are
several candidates for the position.

DEATH is WORTH DYING.
So Said Rev. John Sinclair Last
Sunday Evening".

Rev. John Sinclair spoke on the
subject "Is Death Worth Dying?" at
the Presbyterian church last Sunday
evening, taking for his text a verse
from Paul: "For me to live is Christ (;
to die is to gain" Men made three
mistakes in looking upon death, one
of them being looking at it from the
earthly side, second, looking upon nat
ural death as spiritual death, third, a
fear that we have not lived as we
should, and fourth, the idea of dissolu-
ton, the separation of soul from body,
the going into the unseen alone. The
minister asserted that spiritual death
occurred pefore the body died. as far
as this world was concerned. He con-
tended that Death was gain if man
experienced the three births: the birth
of childhood, the birth unto Christian
ity, and the birth into eternal life, the
first two of which made the last GER
tain. This would make the spiritual
life survive the material dead, and
hence it is greater thing to die than
1t is to live. He gave three reasons
for this statement:
First--The spiritual life gives us a
home. Home is what man wants.
On this earth we are only tenting for
time. Our everlasting dwelling
place, our home can be in the immut-
able certainty of Death, in Heaven.

THAT VALLEY OF BONES.

At the Methodist church last Sun
day morning Rev. l.. L. Hanscom
spoke on 1.-The Valley of the Dry
Bones," his text being taken from that
portion of Ezekiel relating to the val
lev. Ezekiel had been led to the val
ley by the Lord, and after gazing up
on the countless thousands of human
bones that lay there, Ezekiel was asked
whether the bones could be trans
formed to man. He thought it hui
man impossibility. The Lord told him
to preach to them. Ezekiel commenced
and the bones moved, forming bone to
bone, joint to joint, and soon the val
ley was one of human skeletons. Then
sinews, muscles and skin came over
the bodies, and soon the valley was
one of human bodies. Ezekiel prayed
to the winds to give the bodies life,
and soon Ezekiel led mighty army
of resurrected human beings out of
the valley to work for the Lord. The
story was used in answer to a query
which Mr.. Hanscom then PROFOUND
ed: "Can this world, this valley of
bones, ever be redeemed to God,'' and
he allowed that the answer of the aud
fence would be that of Ezekiel, "Lord,
thou knowest; to me it is human
impossibility." He said that the con-
dition of this world at the present
time was sad and sickening condi-
ton, an accursed world. It looks dark,
very small portion of it being
Christianized, billion and twenty
million people never hearing of Chris
tianity, leaving only 135,OOO,OOO peo-
pie who have heard of it, and only
small part of them firm in Christian
ity. How many are very Indifferent
to Christianity right here on our
streets? How many are as the valley
of bones? How many are skeptical
and scott at religion? How many are
basely wicked? Can these souls liye,
be brought from the valley of bones
to the true life? They can, said the
minister, by earnest work on the part
of those who have already been resur-
rected, by earnest prayer to the Lord.

A new TRIAL.
A Motion For 1t Argued at New
Ulm Tuesday,.

The motion for a new trial in the
case of the State of Minnesota VS.. Mi
chael NJ. Madigan, convicted of per-
jury, was made before Judge Weber,
in chambers at New Ulm last Tues
day, H. J. Peck appearing for the de-
Tense, and S. L. Pierce for the State.
The motion of the defendant was based
on the ground that the verdict was
not warranted 10y the evidence, and in
support of the motion large number
of afidavits were presented. Some of
them pertained to the scene in which
Mrs. Schneider picked Ramnes out of
the audience in the court room, and
Ramnes "ducking" his head as if in
hiding, and thereby admitting his
guilt, just as the lady stepped down
out of the witness stand. Other aft
davits are of nature showing that
HE. Greene was competent witness
and that the parties signing the aff-
davits would believe Greene under
oath. Still other affidavits came from
the jury, according to the defendant.
They we're of the opinion that the de-
PENDANT had got Grant, who looks a
little like Ramnes, into his office on
the day Ramnes is supposed to have
been there, aud that Mrs. Schneider,
seeing Grant took him for Ramnes.
The jury, it is alleged, heard that
Grant had been jailed just before the
trial opened, and that consequently
he was man whose word was not to
be believed. This, the jury is sup
posed to have considered along with
the evidence which was before it,
which it had no right to. Still further,
it is understood, by the affdavits, that
the jurors were allowed considerable
of freedom during the night that they
were celebrating on the case, and
that they were allowed to leave the
jury room at random.
The State was considerably sur
prised at the nature of Mr.. Madigan's
affidavits, and asked until March LIST
to present counter afidavits. The re-
quest was granted.
The expense of securing the four in
dictments at the last session of the
grand jury, together with the convic-
ton on the one charge Of perjury, has
cost Redwood county in the neighbor-
hood of $1,5OO. The total amount
paid to witnesses, jurors, etc., was
$728.28, according to certificate of
Clerk George, of the Brown county
district court, now on file in the aud
itor's office. The attorneys fees we're
800. but if Mr.. Pierce continues to
act as county attorney, $500 of this
will be returned for the privilege of al
lowing him to act during the remain
der of the year. Then comes the
stenographer's fees and other incident
al expenses, bringing the amount up
to about $500. This will be up to
last Tuesday when the motion for
new trial was argued. In case the mo-
ton is not granted an appeal will
probably be taken from the order of
the lower to the Supreme Court, in
volving more expense. tits not likely
that the commissioners will press the
other two indictments hanging oyer

be had, is bad composition OF wood
and brick, heated by stove. Mrs. Setter,
the landlady, and her genial son, Otto,
are not inclined to tear down and re-
build that which is now big paying
investment. You can get your -
worth at the Dakota House. The
Union House is brick structure with
it's hotel office in the bar room. The
proprietor keeps good house, but
like the Dakota it is behind the town
in the one respect of heating, stoves
being used for the purpose. The fact
of the saloon and office being one also
undoubtedly retards it's business.
To sum up the whole New Ulm is
just what time has made it. 1t has
never enjoyed boom, fictitious or
real. 1t has grown steadily, solidly.
surely. Its business men have kept
pace with it's growth in the erection
of buildings, but never have gone
ahead of it on that score or the at
tempt to get manufacturing or other
institutions there. It's people seem
contented, happy, in the enjoyment of
each others society and the business
thrown their way, and evidently care
not for a boom to awake them from
their present lethargy of happiness.

GRANT IS HELD TO The G. ],
Jndge French ftAs His Eye on the
Wheat Thieves.

The case against y S. Grant. charged
with wheat stealing, did not produce
the sensation that SO many people ex-
pected it would, at the preliminary
hearing last Tuesday. w. L. Pierce
received orders to go ahead with the
prosecution, it being understood that
the commissioners would engage him
asa special attorney to prosecute the
cases, if the nonresident county at
torneyship racket does not work.
Judge Baldwin acted for the defense.
George Starin, who turned States ev-
idence some time since, was the first
witness called in the afternoon. The
forenoon was spent in scrap over adj
journment between Judge Baldwin
and Mr.. Pierce, the former insisting
on an immediate trial, and talking for
it hard. Mr.. Pierce sarcastically in
quired whether the Judge was talking
to his motion to dismiss the case or
arguing the case, whereupon Judge
Baldwin holly retorted: 81 am talk
ing now; if you don't like it you
needn't hear it." The case was con-
tinued until three o'clock, ne vertheless.
In the afternoon Staren stated that
he was at Ebb. Watson's house on
Oct. %, % and 30. On the night of
the first day named Grant and Rohrer
drove in with wagon load of wheat
and emptied the same in Watson's
granary. 1t was Watson's wagon,
Grants team. Grant hauled some of
it away the next day, a load in the
morning and one in the afternoon.
Watson also sold some that was in the
granary and he told Staren that he
got $40 for it, which money he gave
to Grant. On cross-examination Star
en- admitted having hauled three
sacks of the wheat to the mill, using
Watson's team for the purpose, sell
ing part of it and taking the remain
der in -four, which he returned to Mrs.
Watson. By occupation he was cat
erer, came here last July, worked for
a farmer named Burch, in Renville
county, and later husked corn for
Watson.
0. L. Smith, from whose granary
the wheat is supposed to have been
stolen, was called. He testified hav-
ing lost wheat out of his granary be-
tween Nov. 25th and Both, how much
or just when, or who stole it, he could
not state. George Backer, of the Del
hi, and Aid. Burmeister, of the Red
wood Roller Mills, testified as to their
purchasing wheat of Watson and
Grant. The State closed and the sum-
ming up followed. After the attorneys
got through Judge French announced
that he would take the case under adj
visement and report at nine o'clock
yesterday morning.
Judge French held Grant to the
grand jury Wednesday morning, and
the case of John Rohrer, accused of
the same crime was commenced. S.
L. Pierce, of St. Paul, was assisting
his son yesterday forenoon.
