Died.

REID-In Mankato, on Wednesday, February
9th. at 5 80 a. M, William Reid, aged 70 years,
OF paralysis.
Deceased was born in County An
nagh, Ireland, in 1916, when IA years
old he came to America with his
uncle, settling in New York City. He
removed to Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Iowa alternately, arriving in Mime
sofa in 1860, where he has since re-
sided, following the business of a
furrier. He was stricken down by
paralysis in October, and subsequent
visitations Of the same disease only
added to the danger of his condition.
He has been in helpless condition
with that far-aWay expression in his
eyes peculiar to the paralytic.
He rallied somewhat Tuesday and
for time was conscious, but he suf-
fered relapse during the night, and
this morning the struggle was ended.
He leaves wife and one daughter
Margaret who is valued teacher at
the Normal school.
SO passes from our sight a familiar
figure in the history of Mankato. He
was pioneer, and as such worked
faithfully for the upbuilding of our
city, unstintingly going into his
pocket when need be, to aid in the
cause. He has passed through
the catherine mist of tho Croo+ D.
yond; those who knew him we'll loved
him best, and they can truly say
true friend, loving husband, affec-
tlonate father-Hail, and Farewell!

WlLLLRECEIVE THEFT.
Arrangements Have Been Made to
Welcome to Our City the LegisIa-
tive Committee of Normal Schools
-SOmething'o of the Program.

Resident Director Clark and Presi-
dent Soaring Of the Mankato Normal
school have arranged for the reception
of the legislative committee which is
to visit our city next week for the
purpose of informing themselves as to
the needs of the institution, that they
may make intelligent recommends
tions to the legislature for needed aid
in the way Of appropriations.
The committee will arrive here next
Monday evening at S:15 on the Omaha
road. Carriages will be provided to
escort them to the Saulpaugh where
they will be met and made acquainted
with number of our citizens. Tues
day morning, in company with several
of our business men and other citizens
visit to the Normal school will be
made and the various departments of
the institution will be looked through.
After this all will gather in the as
sembly room. and listen to short
spec les by Director Clark, President
soaring, ana several members OF the
committee. At the conclusion of this
feature of the program adjournment
will be had for luncheon at the Saul
paugh in time for the delegation to
return to ST. Paul on the 2:56 Omaha
train.
Mankato's Normal will not ask for
any considerable amount from the
present legislature, and the small
amount it does ask for will no doubt
be granted. 1t is hoped that our
more prominent citizens at least will
endeavor to give little time to pay
their respects to the honorable gen.
tlemen who are to visit us and assist
the Normal faculty in making them
feel that we are glad to have them
among US.

DEFECTIVE FLUES.
They Caused the Firemen Two Long
Runs

Runs.
A still alarm was turned in last
night from the tub factory whistle
which called the department to No.
3l3 Carroll street. 1t was a burning
chimney and there was no damage.
The entire department was called
out at noon to-day to the residence of
Mrs. sDr. Snow at No. 327 Fulton
street. A chimney of uncertain safe
ty was burning, and its peculiar con-
struction kept the firemen at work
for nearly an hour. 1t was gotten I'M
der control before much damage was
done.
The damage would have amounted
to nothing whatever if the'person who
turned in the alarm had gone to the
nearest box Instead he went some
distance away, and when the hose
teams reached the box they found no
indication of fire in the city, and
Superior Hose Company ran five blocks
out of the way. For this reason
Chief Phillips requests, for the gener-
al good of the department., that the
person who hereafter turns in an
alarm.will remain at the box until the
department can reach the same and
locate the fire.

"CLUBlSM.
Subject For Discussion at the We'd
nesday Evening Club.

The Wednesday Evening club met
at the Presbyterian church parlors
last evening. In face of cold and
storm there was large attendance,
and the meeting was lively one.
Miss Soule presented most excel
lent paper on "Clubism" as an element
in the French revolution. Her
thorough treatment of the theme was
exhaustive and clear, showing the ele-
ments in society that were at work
towards lettering the condition OF
the masses of the French people. The
writer showed how these elements
crystalized into clubs that had politi-
Cal reform as their chief object, and
the influence of these clubs was to
first impair then overthrow the
tyranny Of the throne; then to formu-
late constitutional government. The
chief clubs were the JOcobinS,
Girondist and Cordeliere. The whole
trend of the struggle for liberty
through these clubs was very forcibly
elucidated by the writer's portrayal of
the chief characters that figured in
the club life. The paper was greatly
appreciated as shown by the applause
that followed the reading, and the
highly complimentary remarks made
at the breaking up of the session.
The discussion that followed on the
beneficent results of modern fraternal
societies was brief and interesting.
Mr.. j. G. Cotton led the affirmative,
making some strong points in favor of
fraternities as distinguished from
pure, social club life. He showed how
college presidents, as rule, favored
the Greek letter fraternitieS, and gave
extracts from the speeches of such
men as President Seeley, of Amherst;
Eliot, of Harvard, and numerous
others. That fraternities have a high
purpose was generally conceded, but
it was equally conceded that fire.
quently this purpose was lost sight of
to the injury of the members and
their families.
DR.. Webster, who was to lead the
negative, was unaVoidably absent,
still the meeting did not lack for
speakers and lively time.
The next meeting will be at the
same place, the paper to be given by
Prof. Holtz on "The Intellectual
Audacity of the French Encyclo-
pedists."

NEBRASKA SUFFERERS.

Mr.. John Diamond received today
the following letter from the private

which explains itself:

LINCOLN.

February 5th, 1895.
MR.. JOHN DIAMOND,
Mankato, Blue Earth Co., MINI.
DEAR SIR: Replying to yours of
the Bird instant the governor directs
me to express his appreciation of your
generous interest in behalf of the I'M
fortunate people in drouth stricken
portions of western Nebraska.
Owing to the severe drouth of the
past season many poor families in va
riOuS parts of the state are rendered
dependent upon their more fortunate
neighborS to provide them with the
necessities of life, and with grain for
the spring sowing, BY organized
effort Nebraska is endeavOring to care
for her own deserving poor. At the
same time volunteer contributions
from the kindly disposed of other
states are being gratefully received
by the State Relief Commission at
Lincoln for distribution among the
needy. At the present time consider
able difficulty is being experienced in
securing railroad rates. Contributions
of provisions from distant points be-
come expensive when the regular
rates of the railroads are charged for
conveying the donations. Under the
law recently enacted, the Relief Com
mission is placed in entire charge of
relief work. The secretary reports
the surfeit of clothing, but can use
more food supplies to advantage.
Again thanking you'll am,
Yours very truly,
BENTON MARET,
Private Secretary.

Sheriff Bowen took possession of the
stock under the attachment and is at
present sole proprietor of the premis-
es and will remain in that capacity
until the assignee is legally install
ed. Mr.. Champlin said this after
noon, ''the trouble is due to losses and
bad accounts and Mrs Rogers inability
tomeet her'billS as they came due. The
claims, so far as we know at present,
will foot up about 5000, or little more
than the figure at which the stock will
invoice, though I'VE hope to be disap-
pointed in this and be able to meet
the claims in full. Failing in this the
creditors must of course stand their
pro rata share of the proceeds Of the
sale of the stock"

GREAT GOLD PRODUCER.
Many and Substantial Improvements
Made in Old Abe Plant Since
the March Fire.

One can not realize what the Old Abe
company has done since the Fl re of March
3, says the White Oaks Eagle, without
visit to the mine. The shaft house, now
nearly completed, is 1oM24 feet and at
the shaft rty-thrse feet high
Everything, including the gallows
frame, is of the most substantial char
acter The engine room is of adobe,
while the remainder is frame covered
with corrugated iron-walls and roof.
The shaft which is now 700 feet deep,
has been nearly all re retimbered, supplied
with cage, 1900 feet of one inch wire
cable. Much development work has
been done on levels l3 and IA. Twenty
feet from the shaft house has been erect
ed storage room, 17x17 feet, of adobe,
with iron roof Forty feet away is the
blacksmith shop, 26Yl0, with two forges.
This is also of adobe with iron roof.
One hundred feet easterly stands the
wood work building which is the only
wooden structure built since the fire.
This building is 26x26 feet and contains
an engine which drives a cutoff swing
saw, wedge saw, grind-stone, drilling
machine, etc. Here are also work benches,
The comPanys carpenter work will be
done in this building, which has been
placed so far away from the other build
ings as to relieve them from any fire
which might occur in this department.
The change or dressing room will be
26xl6 feet, fortyfive feet from tho shaft
house. This will be of adobe with iron
roof. The main shaft house is about
seventy We feet from the MILL which was
not destroyed by the fire. All the new
buildings have been constructed since
the fire and are nearly com pleted and the
change room will be on the way in few
days.
Everything which could be suggested
for the safety and utility of the plant has
been supplied and il the Old Abe company
does not start up with complete outfit
it will not be for lack of a desire to
make it complete. The mill will be
pounding on Old Abe ore next week and
while the company lost thousands of dol
lars by the March disaster and was
slightly disfigured" it is 'still IN the
ring"

THE STONEROAD CASE.
Important Opinion by the U. S. Su-
preme Court on Confirmation
and Surveys.

Some two weeks since the NEW MExI-
CAN printed an outline of the facts in
volved in the test suit brought by G. W.
Stoneroad, of Las Vegas, against his
nephew, j. P. Stoneroad, whereby it was
sought to eject the latter from certain
piece of land in San Miguel county which
he had located as part of the public do
main but which the owners of the Pres
ton Beck grant contended was within the
original boundaries of their grant. As
explained, this was test case, the suit
having been instituted in order that the
United States supreme court could pass
upon question of very great import to
grant owners. The Supreme Court Re-
porter for June, at hand yesterday, con-
tains syllabus of the supreme courts
decision, which turns out to be more far
reaching than anticipated.
The Beck grant was confirmed by con-
gress according to the old method of
metes and bounds as designated by nat
ural objects. The grant claimants con-
tended that they held over 5OO,O0O acres,
but the government survey gave them
S18, ,699.72 acres, excluding nearly 100000
acres, which, it was claimed, did not be-
long to the grant, but WAS public domain.
It was on part of this disputed strip that
james, p. Stoneroad entered, and the suit
was instituted to fix the area of the Beck
grant.
The supreme court holds "that, in
view of the uniform practice of the gov
ernment in causing all government
grants of land to be surveyed, it waste
be presumed that survey Of this grant
was contemplated by the confirmatory
act, and that survey thereafter made
under the direction of the surveyor gen.
eral must be regarded as an official sur
vey, determining the boundaries Of the
grant.
"The owners of Mexican grant,
which was confirmed by congress prior
to any survey thereof, are bound by an
official survey, subseq quently made, under
the direction OF the surveyor general of
the territory, although they had no notice
thereof, and although some of them were
minors and some we're under coverture at
the time.
"The survey of Mexican land grant
by the surveyor general of New Mexico,
pursuant to the duties i'm posed upon him
by the act Of 1854 no Stat. 3OS), was
matter exclusively within the supervision
of the political and administrative de-
partments Of the government, and is not
subject to revision or correction by the
courts in the absence OF any provision to
that effect In the statute; and hence one
claiming under the grant can not main
tain ejectment against a third person to
recover lands outside the survey, al
though the survey was incorrect, and al
though the lands in controversy were
within the boundaries of the original
grant az set out in the title papers"
