The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1894-04-05

Attorney Wilson Borst of Fulda,
quite we'll known in Worthington, was
recently indicted by the U. S. grand
jury for sending obscene letters
throughthe mails. The Republican
says:
Our thriving village is in one of the
most prominent scandals that has ev-
er taken place within its limits. Will
son Borst, prominent and we'll to do
attorney of this place, is charged with
sending an anonymous obscene letter
to Mrs. John Hyslop, through the
mail. The grand jury heard the evil
dence on both sides of the case,
thing uncommon for the jury to do,
that is, give hearing to the defendant,
and concluded the evidence strong
enough to indict Mr.. Borst, and the
trial has been set for April 10th.
The witnesses who went before the
grand jury were, Mrs. John Hyslop,
J. M. Dickson, Geo. B. Stiles, Geo. D.
Taylor, W. H. Lamphere, DR.. L. L.
Rewalt, of this place, and G. c. Cur
tiss, of Minneapolis, as for the U. S.
as Plaintiffs. The defendent also
had number of witnesses before the
jury, among them were J. T. Smith.
John Lind, Judge Perkins and Sena-
tor Jay LaDue.
The letter in question is said to be
a very vulgar, slanderous and abusive
one. The character of the complain
ing witnesses are above reproach in
this community and no one who
knows them will doubt for moment
that they are sincere and perfectly
honest in what they have done. They
would not do this for personal motives
or for malice or fun. It is a serious
matter and all realize it as such. It
is the height of folly and an imposi-
ton upon the Christian people of this
place to say it is conspiracy or a
scheme to do injustice. 1t is also a
SANDER on the churches and church
people to say that church matters has
any thing to do with the case. The
Journal says in an interview with
Borst that the action is due to church
difficulties. "The Borst faction are
Methodists and the Hyslops Presby-
terians, and this caused bitter feel
between the two" Ehis we emphat-
ically state is base accusation, there
being no malice whatever by the Hys-
lops toward the Borsts. The wrong
that has been done is too great to let
pass, and the complaining witnesses
simply wish to see justice done to the
guilty party, whoever it may be. Mrs.
Hyslop was raised Methodist and is
a Methodist in belief today, also some
of the witnesses. Again not all of the
Methodists take sides in this matter.
The writer with all this community
have feeling of regret over this
matter and desire to see speedy and
satisfactory settlement. The outcome
of the trial, however, is looked forward
to with much interest.

CARL s. EASTWOOD,
.oFF1c1AL NJ PAPER OF MOBILES COUNTY.

The St. Paul Daily News is in the
hands of a receiver. The News has
never been considered an able or
successful newspaper. 1t has always
plugged along as an "independent"
paper, but now it is to be straight
out democratic sheet; in favor Of any
thing that will induce people to buy
goods in England and let American
workmen remain idle.

The Martin County Sentinel pays
Congressman Nc Cleary this deserved
compliment: The gold bug organs
of the twin cities are jumping on to
our Congressman McCleary with
spikes in their boots because he voted
for the Bland silver coinage bill. 1t
is significant that not word of adj
verse criticism upon Bro. McCleary's
course has come from his own district,
but on the contrary it has met with
widespread and almost universal CON-
mendation. It is refreshing to be re-
presented in congress by man who is
not afraid of the money bags or the
criticisms of their hireling newspapers:
Bro. McCleary voted his convictions
and he voted right-he voted for the
best interests of his people and he
does not need to explain or apologize
to any one.

and he voted right-he voted for the
best interests of his people and he
does not need to explain or apologize
to any one.
The Republican conclave at Min
neapolis last week was, without
doubt, the greatest political demon
stration even seen in the west. except
the National convention of 1892.
Convention hall was filed, and fully
5000 people (most of them holding
tickets) were unable to get in, SO
great was the crush. The magic
name, mckinley" was everywhere
greeted with tremendous applause.
Every county in the State was rep
resented at the Mckinley meeting;
Mobiles sending about 80. The speech,
the substance of which was printed
in the ADVANCE last week, was one of
the clearest and most forcible argu-
ments in favor of protection ever laid
before the American people. Demo
cratic sophistrys were punctured and
the perils of free trade were pointed
out. It was great meeting.
Worthington voters elected Dan
Shell by majority of 120 and gave
92 majority for license. His election
by such a large majority is evidently
intended by his own town as a
strengthened of Dams boom for the
senatorial nomination in this district.
The ADVANCE launches the boom in
this way:
"For the position of state senator
the ADVANCE takes pleasure in pre-
senting Mr.. Shells name. He's a
vote-getter. When a candidate for
representative he received more votes
than any other man on the ticket.
His splendid qualifications for the
position are we'll known; he is work
er and could and would accomplish
much for the district" But, there
are other Richmonds in the field!
Murry county's Mr.. Holman will not
have solid delegation from home,
evidently. Eastwood of the Worth
ington ADVANCE, is authority for this:
"We learn that hurry county will
probably present the name of A. H
Fowler for senator from this district
Mr.. Fowler is tip-top gentleman,
and true blue Republican"
And the Pipestone Star brings Bill
Lockwood out in this paragraph:
William Lockwood has made clean
record as member of the lower
house; and should the naming of a
senator fall to Pipestone county, and
Mr.. Lockwood desires the place, his
Republican friends of this county will
do their best to aid him."
Here's no, boys, for hot fight and
