AGAINST LAKE CRYSTAL.

The supreme court Tuesday rem
dered decision in the case Of Chas.
f. Burrows VS. the Village of Lake
Crystal affirming the order OF the
lower court. The language of the
court is as follows:
Charles f. Burrows, respondent, VS..
Village of Lake Crystal, appellant.
l. Held, the verdict is sustained by
the evidence, and is not so excessive
as to justify an appellate court in in
terfering with it.
2. In an action against municip-
atty for damages for personal injury
caused by defective sidewalk, itap-
peared that prior to his injury the
plaintiff had some knowledge of the
existence of such defect. AS tending
to rebuff the inference that he was
guilty of contributary negligence in
not going to his destination some
other way, it was competent for him
to prove that he knew that the side
on the opposite side of the street was
at time in dangerous condition.
8. Proof of other similar accidents
caused by the same defect, prior to
the time of the injury to the plaintiff,
is competent at least for the purpose
of proving notice to the municipality.
Order affirmed.

NEW NORMAL TEACHERS,

In addition to Miss Pendergast as
assistant in English Literature and
Latin, the state Normal board also
elected the following new teachers
for the Normal here: Miss Minna
Geurnsey, assistant in grammer de-
partment; Miss Daisy Shehan, assis-
tant in intermediate department;
Miss Cora Carney, assistant in prim-
airy department. These ladies are all
graduates of theschool here.
In the case of the three students
who appealed to the board from the
decision of the faculty in refusing to
allow them to graduate, the matter
was referred to Supt. Pendergast
and Director Engstrom. These three
students were sick at the time
of the regular examination, SO
were unable to take it. The COM
mittee after considering the matter
decided that in these cases diplomas
would be granted, but that in future
all members Of the graduating class
must take the examination, as pro-
vided, from the committee.

WHY PROSPERITY is RETURNING

During the past two months there
have been large number of instances
reported of manufacturing establish
ments raising the wages of their en-
ployes. Hundreds of such reports
have been made, all of which has had
natural tendency to revive trade
prospects everywhere. The free trad
ers have seized upon this increase OF
wages, and declared it to be the di.
rect result of their tariff law, when as
matter of fact the said law has had
nothing to do with it at all, but the
increase has been made in spite of
that law. Trade reports show that
those Industries which were hit the
hardest by the effects of the law, show
the least sign of reviving, and in but
few Instances have as yet made any
increase in wages. And it should be
further remembered that the increase
that has been made, is an increase on
the scale which has been in force
during the past two years and in no
instance has there been any increase
over the scale of 1892, which was the
highest in the history of the country,
and in but very few instances has that
scale been restored.
The question will naturally be asked
that if it is not the result of the pres
ent tariff law which has caused this
partial restoration of wages what is
it? Those who recall the threats
which the free trade leaders made,
that the work in the direction of free
trade had simply been commenced
with the enactment of the present act,
and that if the congress which was
elected last November should be
Democratic, the work would be con-
tinued, do not need to be reminded
that the election of Republican
house which put an end to further at
tacks upon our industries for the next
two years at least, is the real cause
for the return of confidence to the
business world and turn about march
in the path toward prosperity.
Not only were the business interests
of the nation threatened by further
onslaughts through free trade legisla-
tion if Democracy was successful, but
the cause of sound money was also
seriously threatened. But with the
u IN of the tide toward Republican

Local Engineers Getting the Hang of
the Machine.

Local Engineers Getting the Hang of
the Machine.
The new steam roller was at work
on the streets in the north half of the
city today, smoothing down the rough
ness resulting from the recent rains.
1t is said that it's best work is not
seen in the spongy soil of our back
streets, but would be demonstrated in
macadam, paving or even graveling.
Some such work should be undertaken
to keep the machine at work.
Engineer Albert Woolson took some
lessons on the engine today and be-
came somewhat familiar with it's run
ming. Engineer Koke has also tried
his hand at it. 1t is understood that
Mr.. WOolson will have the running of
the roller whenever there is any work
to be done, and that he will be hired
by the day for the purpose. Mr.. Koke
may also do little of the work, but
his time is we'll taken up at the pump
ing station. Mr.. Koke estimates the
cost of operating the roller at SO day,
allowing 81 for an engineer and 80
cents for fuel.

COr1ING TO MANKATO.
Gen. j. ii. Baker will Sell Oak Cliff
Farm.

In another column is an advertise
ment for the sale of Oak Cliff Farm,
over the signature of it's owner, Gen.
J. H. Baker. The latter states that
he desires to move to Mankato and
make this city his future home. By
this move he will escape the work and
anxiety of conducting large farm.
Oak Cliff farm is one of the famous
country places of the state, and has
been owned by Gen. Baker since 1867
and 1868. 1t comprises 600 acres of
fine land, with spacious and well.
built house, barns, etc., well stocked.
A portion of the land was secured
from the government. Gen. Baker
made all the Improvements that are
on the farm, and has lived there
with his family for the past fourteen
years. He does not wish to break up
the farm, and whoever purchases it
will have a splendid property.
We are pleased to know that Gen.
Baker intends to move back to Man
kato. In 1866 he built the residence
now owned by President Soaring, and
it was then the finest house in the
city. During his residence on his
farm he has entertained a good deal
and the name of the farm is familiar
over the state.

OPEN THE PARK.

We understand that the gates to
the city park have been locked of eve
nings lately. Last night a party of
horsemen drove over to drive around
the track and exercise their horses,
but could not get in. 1t is said that
the park is closed in the interest of
one or two horse trainers, and if this
is so it is time that,the public knew it..
Those who patronize the race track
should be careful after rains not to
drive to near the pole, as the track
there will cut up. The upper part of
the track are always drained off and
can be used any time, and the more it
is used by our citizens the more the
weeds will be kept down.

The Silver Question

There is no doubt that the silver
question will be a dominant issue
between parties in the great cam
paigns of the future: for the silver
agitation has become craze and it
has gone all over the country like
wild-flre. 1t interests everyone,
because it affects the money of the
country, but it does not require the
output of very much silver to give a
man enjoyment, provided he takes the
Saint Paul and Duluth Railroad; for
the summer resorts, fishing grounds,
sporting haunts, points Of interests
historic places etc along the line
are made SO handy that the cost OF
getting there is mere bagatelle. The
Duluth Short line, as this railway has
been popular known for years. also
affords quick and luxurious transit
between st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du,
luth, West Superior, Saltwater and
other we'll known points The equip
ment is always of the latest pattern
the trains are speedy and run at con-
venient hours; the road is smooth and
the terminals are the finest, while
close connections are made every
where, so that it pays man or woman
to take SaintPaul and Duluth Rail-
road. He gets the best and follows his
friends. Circulars, maps, folders, etc.

ism, the business men know that the
cause of sound money is destined to
be upheld by the people, and under
such circumstances that there should
be marked evidence of improvement
in our industries on every side is not
strange, for under such conditions
business men can count upon the fu-
ture with greater degree of certainty.
There is, says the New York Morn
ing Advertiser, no lack of money and
capital in this country today, and
there has been none during the dismal
last two years. The American peo-
pie have not lost the spirit of enter
prise. American labor has lost none
of its skill and cunning. The natural
resources of the republic are as bound
less and ineXhaustible as ever. But
while the Democratic party, with it's
supreme genius for mischief, was in
the ascendant at Washington all these
factors were paralyzed. No one could
tell from day to day what outrageous
scheme for despoiling American in
dustry, undermining the national
credit and beggaring American
farmers and wage-earners might not
be forced upon the country. This ap-
prehension is now at an end. With
the adjournment of the Fifty-third
Congress the power of the Democracy
to continue it's Infamous program of
industrial disaster totally ceased, and
from the date of that event business
of every kind began to brighten.
All of these things should be con-
sidered by wage-earners everywhere,
before they swallow the glittering
claims of the free traders. They were
humbugged by this same class in 1892,
and their bitter experience should and
doubtless will put them on their
guard through the future.

A CLEVELAND HEROINE.
The Nurse Who Met Death Rather
Than Desert Her Patient.
FOUR DEAD IN A HOSPITAL FIRE.

Miss Banner, the Heroic Nurse, Might Easily
Have Saved Her Own Life, but the Noble
Woman, Though Urged by Firemen, Re
fused to Make the Effort
CLEVELAND, Feb. "A frail wooden
! dwelling house, occupied as a hospital,
caught fire yesterday, and almost before
the terrible situation could be realized four
lives were destroyed by the flames. twas
the Deaconess hospital a branch of the
Christian Institute, of Chicago, estab-
lished last October in a two and a half
story house on Jennings avenue. In it
were twelve PATIENTS four nurses and four
laundry girls.
The fire started in the basement, pre-
sumably from the furnace, sand before it
could be extinguished four of the fifteen
patients in the house and hospital were
dead and the building almost entirely de
| stroyed Brave work on the part of the
| firemen and police alone prevented fur
| ther loss
By desperate efforts the patients on the
| first and second floors were saved, though
some of them may die of the exposure, but
| every person in the low garret, reached
-
| horrible death.
Before the fire department had arrived,
and before the flames had reached the out
| side of the building, Nurse Minnie Bau-
mer appeared at the up stairs window and
| implored those below to assist her in get
| ting out her patient, who was Samuel
| Almyer All saw that it would be folly
to attempt to enter the building which
was now burning fiercely.
Jump to the porch and save yourself"
cried the firemen to her, as she was but
| fifteen or sixteen feet above the broad
veranda roof
II can't leave my patient" was the re-
ply of the brave woman as she turned to
| look back into the ROOM evidently to quiet
the fears of Almyer who thought she
was going to leave him.
For moment the brave woman stood
looking down into the crowd below her,
and then duty triumphed over her desire
| to be saved. The smoke was pouring from
the windows about her and her white,
startled face appeared as a picture in a
| frame of darkest ebony. Then she turned
into thereon, and she was seen no more
until her blackened form was carried ten
derly from the building shortly after
/ wards.
-Four men were taken from the burning
building, One was caught in a blanket
and the four corpses taken from the build
ing before they had been consumed by the
fire.
Jacob Krause was found at the foot of
the stairs leading to the third floor, He
had been suffering from fractured skull
and was suffocated. William Almyer was
suffering from a broken hip, and was also
suffocated. Minnie Banner, the nurse who
had remained to guard him. was fount
terribly burned at the foot of the bed. IL
an adjoining room was found the body o
a young child 8 months old 1t had beer
suffocated.
The dead are: Jacob Krause, carpenter
90 years old; Samuel Almyer widower
% years old; Walter Clark, a foundling, /
months old; Minnie Baumer, nurse, q
years old.
