TRUE s. rIcB ROOM.

Messrs. J. w. True and Walter
McBroom have purchased the grocery
store of A. Buck & Co., and took pos
session Friday. All of Thursday was
spent in taking the inventory. and the
proprietors are weighing groceries to-
day.
The new firm is composed of two Of
our best young men who are bound to
succeed in their new enterprise, and
as their location, which is at the
corner of Front and Jackson Streets
is one of the best in the city, they are
entitled to share of public patron
age. Both of the new proprietors
have grown to manhood in our COM
munity, and by their manly conduct
have won for themselves a large &C
quaintance and host of friends who
will be pleased to know that they have
decided to permanently locate in bust
ness in this city.
They will put their dealings on a
strictly cash basis and will thereby be
enabled to sell goods much cheaper
than those who run book accounts and
lose heavily each year.
Mr.. True was appointed deputy
postmaster over two years ago, and has
filled the position with credit to him
self up to the present time, and Mr..
McBroom has been in the employ of
Mr.. John G. Noe for nearly three years,
and has the confidence and good will
of all who have had dealings with him.
We have not learned what business
Mr.. Buck will engage in, but hope he
will decide to remain in the city.

RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.

Rev. L. w. Beattie, of the Presby-
terrain church preached an able and
interesting sermon Sundayevening on
''Rights of Property" This is the
first of series to workingmen which
he will deliver on Sunday evenings of
this month. In his opening remarks
he alluded to Coxey's army, and said
that the impression which was cur
rent among many that the various
detachmentS were made up largely of
tramps and others who were too lazy
to work, was not true, and he quoted
from those who had investigated the
matter to sustain his assertions. But
his sermon did not treat of the Coxey-
ties, this was simply cited to show
that if they were the lazy ones of the
nation, their numbers were small and
that the people of this country are,
with few exceptions, working people.
He then referred to the acquiring of
property and the different direct and
indirect ways by which it might be so
acquired. Property which has been
acquired and which was held in I'M
disputed ownership by any person,
was his to do whatever he saw fit
with, but the holder thereof by so do
ing must not infringe upon the rights
of others. He then referred to the
relation of employe and employer and
said that the employe in insisting up
on what he called certain rights to
the product of his labor should re-
member that the right of property is
as sacred in the person of his en-

NARROW ESCAPE

The little eight year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Pirkel, of North Man
kato, had very narrow escape from
death Friday. The little fellow whose
name is John, was hunting for flowers
near the mouth of the Blue Earth
river when a % calibre bullet came
Whlzzing across the river and entered
the palm of his left hand and lodged
in the wrist. Two boys were hunting
on the opposite side of the river and
were doubtless very careless in shoot
ing in such a reckless manner. DR..
Warner was called and found it neces-
sary to chloroform the lad and probed
for the bullet, which he now has in
his possession. The ligaments of
the wrist were somewhat lacerated
and the wound is very painful one,
but might have been much worse

ployer as in himself. The laborer
would quickly resent the meddling of
anyone with the disposition he makes
with his earnings. They are his to do
as he pleases with. Likewise is the
property of his employer, and each
may carry it, to suit his own notions, to
that point that it does not infringe
upon the rights of those surrounding.
He referred to the combination of
capital and the benefits therefrom, as
well as the injustice it in many ways
made upon many. Likewise the
combination or organization of labor
and the benefits as well as the wrongs
which had resulted from this move.
He believed that organized labor had
done more to maintain the high wages
which have been paid in this country
than any other one thing.
When those engaging in strikes
recognize property rights and protect
the property of their employers from
all harm or damage, then they would
receive the sympathy and help of the
public and secure all just rights for
which they stand. The spirit of
Christ should permeate the hearts of
all; the desire to do as you would be
done by should ever be uppermost in
mems minds and much of the trou-
BILE which now beset society would
soon pass away. The only just, true
and permanent settlement of our
economic differences is along a chris
tian basis. Many other schemes with
Christ left out had been tried but all
had failed.

THE DISTRICT Y.P. S. G e. MEET
ING.

The fourth annual convention of the
Mankato District Union of the Y. P.
5. Z. E. which opened Friday evening
at Waseca and closed last evening was
one of the most largely attended and
enthusiastic conventions ever held in
the district. Mankato was well rep
resented on the program. New Ulm
sent the next largest delegation num-
bering about thirty. The Endeavors
of Waseca showed themselves in every
way to the task of entertaining the
delegates and are to be congratulated
for the very complete arrangements
which were carried out without the
least friction. After the opening ses-
sion Friday the delegates were given
a reception at the Grant House, which
was very delightful affair.
Saturday afternoon a special train
was chartered and the delegates given
an outing to Maplewood park, return
ing in time for supper. The people of
Waseca left nothing to be desired by
the delegates in the way of hospitali-
ty and entertainment. The prominent
workers from abroad were State Presi-
dent Hunt, State Secretary Miss Hol-
brook, Superintendent of Junior Work
Miss Middleton, besides the prominent
workers of this district The sessions
of the convention were very interest
ing, and as usual grew more enthusi-
astic, closing Sunday evening in
most fitting manner with sermon by
Rev. j. w. Marshall, late pastor of the
Congregational church of this city,
followed by the conservation meeting
led by the State President Evangelist
Hunt. Nearly all the delegates re-
turned this morning in a special car
provided for them exclusively. A few,
however, concluded to stay and enjoy
day on the lake.

THE PAPERS ARE FILED.

Papers were filed Friday in the SEN
satlonal suit of Victoria A. Stein VS..
Clarence II. Saulpaugh. Considerable
interest has been manifest inthe case,
which promises to be a most sensa-
tional one and to involve some promi-
nent people of Minneapolis before the
trial is ended. The plaintiff, Victor
la A. Stein, is now resident of Chi
cago. The complaint, which was filed
with the Clerk of the District Court
of Blue Earth county, Minnesota, to-
day, by Jones, Samuels & Culveri
Chicago lawyers, and William n. Ply.
mat, of this city, who are attorneys
for the plaintiff, gives for the first
time the real grounds upon which the
plaintiff proceeds. The complaint
states that in May, 1893, Mr.. Saul
paugh promised plaintiff to make her
his wife, and that, relying upon his
promise, the plaintiff remained I'M
married, and that she now demands
$4,000 damages for the breach of the
contract. The attorneys have pro-
ceeded under the common law. AS
Mr.. Saulpaugh has since married, the
first proceeding is to ask damages for
breach of contract. Mr.. Saulpaugh
has rather shown disposition to
make light of the proceedings, and
has avowed his intention of fighting
the suit to the end. 1t will, nordoubt,
be an interesting legal battle, as
Jones, Samuels & Culver are able, ex-
perienced and shrewd lawyers, and
among the prominent members of the
Chicago bar, who have the reputation
of being able to make most vigorous
legal fight.
One of the features of the trial, is
the fact that the attorneys for Victo-
ria A. Stein, have in their possession
a large number of letters and tele-
grams written by Mr.. Saulpaugh, in
which it is claimed that Mr.. Saul
paugh showed most violent demon
strations of his affection for the plain
tiff, and has repeatedly promised to
marry her.
1t is asserted, the letters show that
Mr. Saulpaugh promised to marry the
woman in a reasonable time after the
death of his mother, that after Mr..
Saulpaugh's mother died, in Mime
apolis, in 1892, thesplaintiff requested
the defendant to marry her according
to his promise, which he again agreed
and promised to do, but in October,
1893, Mr.. Saulpaugh married the
woman who is now his wife. Just
what the contents of these letters are
it is impossible now to learn from the
attorneys, but enough is known to
make it probable that when they are
produced in court they will prove a
surprise.
The answer of the defendant was
also filed to-day by his attorneys,
Penney, WEIGH & Hayne, of Minnea-
polls. 1t makes a general denial of
facts alleged in the complaint.

A NEW INVENTION.

Mr.. G. Wampler, of this city, is
about to begin the manufacture of a
non-explosive powder, which will rem
der the use of gasoline and kerosene
absolutely safe. The powder is to be
put into the oils, and when match is
touched it will not explode. The Of
tice will be located over III. G..
Akers hardware store. Arrange
ments have already been made for it's
sale, and it will be put upon the market
in two or three weeks.
A demonstration of it's merits will
be made to the press and all dealers
in gasoline and explosive oils. Mr.. c..
j. Carr, of this city, is the inventor
and the work of his genius may prove
of much merit, as all are aware of the
dangers arising from the use of the
gasoline stove. This powder will
greatly if not entirely reduce the dan
ger of it's use, and will be sold so cheap
as to come within the reach of all.
