cost of production is worth two earned
by enhanced price.
Every farmer in the United States
ought to make just as large profit to-
day on butter at 20 cents q pound as
he could ten years ago at 30 cents.
The lower price will immensely in
crease the consumption and aid to
drive out fraudulent substitutes and
thus give the farmer an honest con-
troll of the market.
There are plenty of ways of doing
this thing reducing the cost. All
that is needed is that the American
farmer shall become a thinking man,
as we'll as working man. There is
no hope for him in competing in the
production of crude, rough products.

FATHERS A LOTHARIO
According to Reports Following
His Arrest.

j. E. Fathers was indicted by the
grand jury last Saturday charged
with disposiDg of chattel mortgaged
property, the mortgage having been
executed in this county in favor of a
New Ulm party. The chattel was
on team of horses and was for $40.
Fathers was in Ortonville at the time
of his arrest. He claimed that he
wrote the New Ulm party to the effect
that the team was so badly bunged
up he had concluded to sell them and
that he would pay the $40 later.
Fathers was brought down from
Ortonville by Deputy Sheriff Everett
last Friday evening. He was lodged
in Jail at once. There is quite story
in connection with his arrest. It ap-
pears that w G. Whitman was just
opening his new Office for the Herald
Star of that town. The opening was
made memorable by dance given in
the building. The Herald speaking
of the opening relates the following:
"a little diversion was caused by
Marshal Hausauer stepping upon the
floor shortly before midnight and ar
resting one j. E. Fathers, who is &C.
cused of running away with mort
gagged property. Fathers lives at
New Ulm, where he deserted a wife
and five small children and took with
him some mortgaged horses. He was
about to marry young girl named
Mcmillan, on the Yellow Banks, the
wedding having been set for next
Tuesday. Fathers seems to be gay
Lothario, for he was making himself
agreeable to the ladies last evening
when Marshal Hausauer invited him
to exchange the "Grand Ball ROOM
for cell in the county Jail. The
gallant officer came back and escorted
the bad mans lady partner in the
dance to her hotel, and then the
dance went on and joy was unconfned
the balance Of the evening"
Fathers was seen at the county jail
by GAZETTE reporter Saturday morn
ing. He denied that he was engaged

o'o.ouc lIOn the attorney generaIs
Office appeared before Judge Webber
and asked that q commission be ap-
pointed to appraise the value of so
much of the land belonging to Wolff
gang Weis in Renville county as was
wanted by the Birch Coolie monument
commissioners upon which to erect
the monument.
George w. Somerville of Somer-
vile & Olsen appeared before Judge
Webber and on behalf of Weis OBJ
jected to the appointment Of the COM
mission on the ground that the statute
under which the authority for ap-
praisement was given was unconstitu-
tional. He also contended that the
proceedings for condemnation had
not been instituted in any court what
ever and that proper proof of publica-
ton had not been shown. The assist
ant attorney general commended that
the State had the right to enter upon
eminent domain in the manner set
forth. Judge Webber stated that he
would appoint the commission and
that Mr.. Weis could follow up the
matter later. Mr.. Somerville entered
an objection, after which Judge Web

Three FOR STREET.
Grand Jury Returns Three lndict-
ments Against Him.

Peter Streif was arraigned before
Judge Webber last Friday. There
were three indictments against him
and to each and every one he entered
a plea of not guilty. Joseph Chad
derdon is Streif's counsel.
The first indictment charged with
indecent assault upon Sophia Rock;
the second one charged him with
carnally knowing and abusing the
same girl; and the third charged him
with indecent assault upon Katie
Rock. The second indictment names
the worst of the three felonies
and should Rock be found guilty he
would have to stand imprisonment in
the Saltwater penitentiary for at least
fifteen years, as the case comes under
the age of consent law and fifteen
years is the minimum punishment.
The crimes are alleged to have been
committed in Granite Rock or Under
wood townships, where the family OF
Peter Rock, the parents of Sophia and
Katie Rock are residing. Streif, be-
fore his arrest, was also residing in
one of those two towns, and was q
neighbor of the Rocks.
1t appears that there are some ex-
tenuating circumstances in connection
with the case. These are likely to be
revealed at the trial and will probably
be somewhat in favor of the defendant.
Streif has been in Jail since his COM
mittment last spring. 1t is stated on
good authority that he has already
served term in one of the penal in
situations of this country.
The trial is likely to occur this term.
Judge Webber informed the defense
that the cases would have precedence
over any other.
Hammer has also been arraigned
and will probably be tired this term.
His offense was assault on the person
of Mrs. James Welch, whom he threw
a large stone at, the stone striking her
in the back. There is merely one in
dictment against Hammer.
Elias Miller was up before Judge
Weber on Thursday. He entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of selling
liquor at the gold mine without IL
cense. There we're two indictments
against him on this charge. Judge
Weber sentenced him to pay a fine
of $50 and costs, amounting to about
$77 and 60 to Jail for 80 days. The
other case against him was dismissed
on motion of County Attorney Clague.
Miller commenced serving his SEN
tence Friday night.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers re-
Gently performed a great deed of
charity, although it was not designed
as charity being nothing more or less
than an advertising scheme. 1t how
ever resulted in great good just the
same. They gave away LOCO bottles
of their Digestive Cordial to those
suffering from stomach arrangement.
It was so effective in curing those
who used the remedy that they we're
loud in their praises of it and in con-
sequence large demand for the
cordial was at once created.

little books that tell all about it. Di-

Additional Details Regarding the Sc1lintz
Failure at Appleton.

Appleton, Wis, April 25.-The failure
of Louis Schintz, a real estate dealer,
which occurred late Wednesday after
noon, takes on more serious aspect as
the details become known. His liabili-
ties are $4,000 and assets $4,000. His
creditors are almost entirely members Of
the ST. Joseph congregation, who had en-
trusted him with their little savings in
amounts ranging from 500 to $500.
Many Of them are old and helpless and
will be rendered paupers by their loss.
Schintz was prominent in Catholic So
ciety circles and he used his influence in
this direction in business way. Among
his largest creditors is Father Richards
of St. Joseph's church, who had $4,000
placed. 1t is alleged that Archbishop
Katzer's private secretary is creditor
for a like amount. Notes given by
Schintz for money entrusted to him are
alleged to provide that the money be in
vested in frst-class real estate security.
The bulk of the money appears to have
been lost in Colorado mining speculations.
Considerabl bic Indignation prevails over
the failure and there is talk of prosecu-
ton for breach of trust. Prominent
Catholics and members of the same socie
ties as Schintz declared today ITO call
Schintz's action breach of trust is put
ting it very charitably." Schintz is much
shaken by the failure, and being of frail
health the result may be serious.

The great Bousey dyke of the Epinal

at ) O'Clock this morning. The cubic
area of the dyke is 100000 liters. A
great rush Of water and much loss of life
followed It is impossible at this hour to
get a correct estimate of the damage done
or of the number of lives lost, but from
the number of bodies already found the
indications are that the loss of life will
be very heavy. Enormous damage has
been done in the surrounding country.
The railways in all directions are inter
rupted and a large number of villages
are entirely flooded. In some places the
force of the torrent let loose by the break
in the dyke was so great that entire

WILL TAP THE VALLEY.
Eastern Capitalists Interested in a
New Railway Project in
Wisconsin.

Appleton. Wis April 26.-For the past
few days parties representing q syndi-
cate of Eastern and Chicago capitalists
have been looking over the Fox river val
lev in the interest of a new railway pro-
Jet. The plan includes the construction
of a railroad from Green Bay, along the
east bank OF the Fox river to Neenah, to
be known as the Fox River Valley Ter
minal railway, with docks at Green Bay,
and VIII furnish a short line by way of
the lakes for Eastern freight to and from
the manufacturing district Of the Fox
river valley.
The road will be thirty-fve miles in
length and will be an independent corpo-
ration, a:ld in addition to the saving of
about 300 miles from the East as COM
pared with the Chicago all-rail route will
Paul, Wisconsin Central and 800" roads
can tap the whole Fox river district,
running their own cars over the terminal
upcn payment of toll. The scheme was
first conceived by Eastern men who Sc
cured extensive spruce wood properties
in Canada on the supposition that they
could market the timber for pulp wood
ct the mills of the Fox river paper dis
trict. After acquiring the lands they
found that freight rates were practically
pronibitory, and upon looking over the
ground saw an opportunity to not only
provide Tor marketing their pulp wood
but also to establish a short connection
between the valley and the East and pro-
side an entrance to the valley for all rail
roads Of the northwest which have here
tofore been unable to get access to the
immense freight business Of this manu-
featuring region.
Besides the railway, docks will be es-
tabished on the east side of Green bay
below East river, where there is a depth
of thirty feet of water which will accom-
modate the largest lake shipping. These
docks furnish ample accommodations for
freight steamers of Eastern rail and wa
ter short lines and will also serve to ham
die pulp wood brought by RATS from Can
ada. The project has been very quietly
worked up to date, and the only capitalist
at present identified is L. w. Mcintyre
Of the Niagara Falls Paper company Of
Niagara falls, who is at present in the
valley in the interest of the project. He
gives only the most general details of the
project. but states that a company will
be organized and a charter secured before
June l, after which work on the road will
begin at once and be completed by next
January. The company asks no conces-
sions from the cities of the valley. but
will buy the rightofWay and build the
road strictly on its merits.

LEDGE GIVES WAY.
Four Young People Fall 800 Feet
and Are killed-One Impaled
on Tree.

Coshocton, N. Y, April 27.-John Rich,
Sydney Burns, Amos Mitchell, Irene
Tempest and Lora Long were standing
ON a hedge of rock 800 feet high which
overhung the park, little to the east
ward of here, last night -Four feet from
the outer edge of the rock was a hori
zontaI crack which the oldest inhabitants
say had always been there and which no
one thought rendered the ledge insecure.
The five young people felt the ledge
giving way under their feet and tried to
get off but were too late. Irene Tempest
managed to grasp the edge of a solid rem
nant of the rock and hung there for
thirty minutes until help could reach
her. The others were dead when the
inha bitants reached the spot. Rich was
impaled on the limb Of a tree seventyfive
feet above he ground.
One huge fragment of the rock rolled
upon the tracks of the Erie railway just
after the Buffalo express passed.
