AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.
The Remarkable Demonstration Made Ev-

! The Remarkable Demonstration Made Ev-
cry Friday by the Jews II Jerusalem.
The Jewish population in Jerusalem
! is said to be about u, GOO, and it is
steadily increasing. I entered two of the
synagogues, but their dirtiness, poverty,
and baroness, and the absence of beauty
and taste in their decoration, formed
:,reat contrast to both Christian and
sIchammedan edifceS The Jews, how
e-e-, make one most remarkable dem
onstration il Jerusalem every week. On
Friday evening, just before the begin
Mig of the Jewish Sabbath, they repair
il great numbers to spot facing
piece of the old wall, and there bewail
the fate that has overtaken the Holy
City. The "wailers, as they are some
What rudely called by English visitors,
include Jews of every class and every
age. Some saw wore rich and costly
gabcrdines, and others the same gar
ment of more common material. There
were Jews Of nearly every nationality,
including Russia and Poland, and many
of them wore the lovelock which is pc
culiar to the children of the tribe Of
Benjamin.
4 more impressive and pathetic sight
it would be impossible to imagine. The
whole company stand with their faces to
the wall, and they chant, not together,
but each one for himself or herself,
litany of lament over the fate of the
City Of David. The litany is III Hebrew,
and every one present had with him the
Hebrew prayer book. There is no unison
or harmony in this recitation of sorrow
and humiliation Each one as he arrives
begins to deliver his lamentation, bend
ing frequently to the wall. which he be-
lieves to be remnant of the old city.
While the "wailing" is at its height,
one hears general, confused, but pene-
trating note of woe. Of the intense sim
cerity of this weekly service there can
be no doubt. Many of those who take
part in it are deeply moved. Some of
the men and nearly all the women (for
women also take part in it) were she'd
ding tears. The Turks, no doubt, view
the performance with complacent scorn,
but in its combination Of patriotism and
religion it affords striking testimony
of the vitality Of the Jewish race

EI:c Expansion Of Ice.

Ice never bursts from freezing. AS
soon as the liquid Of which it is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking OF bursting CT ice is
brought about in this way: When water
is subjected TO extreme cold, ice crystals
will gradua4-y form on its surface until
the same are covered with a thin coat of
what appears to be wet snow. IRON
this outer coating Of ice crystals all sub
sequent freezing goes downward, the
ice thickenirs according to the degree
of cold. The water which is being con-
verted into ice row begins to expand,
creating q pressure upon the unfrozen
water below. This pressure IS both
downward and outward, and IN case the
water under observation IS III vessel
tie sides and bottom Of the receptacle
supply the resistance.
As the freezing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and air
in tie interior Of the bulk increases un-
til something yields. If the vessel be
stronger than the ice stratum that has
formed over the surface, the layer of ice
will be bent upward at the center, that
being the weakest point, on account OF
the fact that the outer edges Of the con-
gealed mass are frozen fast to the sides
of the vessel in which the experiment is
being made In this condition the center
of the ice continues to rise or "bulge"
until it bursts from the resistance of the
water below Could the vessel be tap
ped from below and the water drawn
off, 10 amount of freezing would be
sufficient to crack or bulge the ice layer

Liucoln's Last Law Case.

Speaking of Lincoln's birthday, J"
said Senator Palmer, reminds me that
the very last case Lincoln ever tried was
one in which I, too, was engaged. 1t
was in Springfield, in June, 1860, after
Nj. Lincoln had received the presiden-
tial nomination. Old David Baker, who
had been q senator in the early days, had
sued the trustees Of Shurtlef college,
my alma mater, for expelling his grand
son, lad named Will Gilbert. Mr..
Lincoln appeared for the prosecution. 1
was the college attorney. Mr.. Lincoln
came into court, and the judge said to
him: Mr.. Lincoln, III argue this case
for you. You have too much on your
hands already. You haven't any case. ,
And he explained the law and applica-
tion.
"'Well, said Mr.. Lincoln, with a
smile, don't you want to hear speech
from me:'
"'No, said the judge, and the last
case Mr. Lincoln tried he-well, he
didn't try it at all. "-Washington Post

A homicide occurs every two hours IL

ogist, in a lecture delivered on Grim
inality in Relation to the Edrc&tlon OF

lations, indeed, IN both hemispheres
have bad pre-eminence over the leu
tcnic in crime generally, aud Of these
Latin populations the Italian IS the
worst.
Baron Garofalo proceeded to give the
reasons why. In the first place, vendetta,
which in Greece was heroism and III
medieval Europe laudable custom,

ether country: dueling, also, is more
FREQUENT N Italy than elsewhere. To the

We Build and Furnish Our Homes to Sur
pass Our Ncishbor's.
Perhaps the most common revelation
in the building Of new houses is that
nearly universal desire to excel our
contemporaries-a desire doubtless I'M
planted for some wise purpose, but
which often leads to most extraordinary
results, for the reason thai many of our
fellow mortals are considerably off the
track, and when we surpass them IN
any direction we only go still farther
astray. Thus, when a man has more
money to spend than his neishbor he
examines his neighbor's house and pro-
ceeds to build one lust like it-only

high. He will have his 10 or IA, build

them with pretentious roof. II his

matical or otherwise. His neighbor's

suitable or beautiful-they may or they
may not be, that question does not enter
into his calculations-butb because they
cost more, because, in certain directions,
they surpass his neighbor's-very likely
surpass them in the wrong direction

if the Secretary concludes to resurrect
them, his string on his present Office
will not amount to much

The GAZETTE has in no way reflected
upon the plaintiff in the suit of Mrs.
Beard vs.. the London & Liverpool &
Globe Insurance Co. It merely pub
lished what the company, in their an
swer to the complaint, stated, and
incidentally showed up the notorious
Ex-President Beard Of the defunct
Bank of Fairfax. It has always had a
high regard for Mrs. Beard, the editor
having known her long before her
present husband knew her. We have
known her always as an estimable
lady. The mere fact that the COM
pany paid the loss does not disprove
our statement that the hotel was set
on fire, statement we still adhere to
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-05-14
We are uuite DOsitive that orr as.

We are quite positive that our es-
teemed Lamberton contemporary is
mistaken:as to our informant regard
ing the non-Clough sentiment in that
town. We are quite positive that he
has no "ax to grind" and that he does
not resort to that mode in politics.
He reasserted only last week that our
esteemed contemporary was mistaken
in the sentiment of his section. AS
for ourself, we have never been can
didate for any Office before Gov.
Clough and it is far from our inten-
tons of being such candidate. We
oppose him because we honestly be-
lieve him not to be fit man for the first
Office in the State, and because the.
domination of the party by such men
as Clough is dangerous to the party.

The council made the award to The
GAZETTE for two reasons. One of these
reasons was that our Battle-Axe plug
contemporary publisher was too lazy
to make a hid on the publication of
city ordinances, the most important
item in the whole bid submitted for
filling out, and the council had the
right to reject the bid entirely on &C.
count of that omission and the-mem-
bers practically did so. City ordin-
ances are the most expensive of all
publications and our Battle-Axe con-
temporary was evidently expecting to
receive full legal rates for publishing
them.
The other reason we presume, was
the fact that the senior publisher of
The GAZETTE refused to enter into
pool with the Jail paper. The editor
of the latter called at this office about
5 o'clock p. M, May 5th, and asked
what The GAZETTE publishers were 60
ing to do about bids on city printing.
He was told that The GAZETTE bid had
already been handed in, and this
action may have influenced the coun-
Gil.
Another reason might be advanced,
and that is that The GAZETTE has the
larger circulation in the city as we'll as
in the county and hence advertising
in it is worth more than in the jail pa
per, inasmuch as it reaches more PEG.
pie that the council desires to meet.
The attempt at blackmailing two
reputable citizens such as w. R. Cas-,
we'll and O. w. Mcmillan are known
to be, will react on the Jail paper, if il
is possible to injure that paper any
more than it has injured itself by va.
rious positions taken. Mr.. Mcmillan
has resided here since 1866. Mr.. Cas-,
we'll has resided here since 1881.
Neither have ever done anything but
what will bear investigation. We be-
lieve that the characters of the two
aldermen, as we'll as the other mem
bers of the council, will far excel that
of the Jail man.

GAZETTE BUILDING DIRECTORY.
A JUDICIAL FARCE.

AJUDICIAL FARCE.
A farcial burlesque under the guise
of the law is the action of those Oil
viaites who are attempting to evade
the mandates of courts by securing
worthless injunctions and raising
petty questions, containing nothing of
weight, but full of sham, and ridicu-
lous in the extreme, for the mere pur-
pose of holding on to the court records
and other records of the county for a
few months longer.
Joining into the conspiracy of these
ambitious boomers and assisting them
in making the farce all the more lu-
dicrous, the spectacle all the more dis
gusting, the agony all the more
intense for the taxpayers of Renville
county, is the band of county officers,
the sheriff excepted, and the
county commissioners, who, by heed
ing the mandate of a worthless and
petty officer, with no apparent juris-
diction, and whose title to the office
is in dispute, show their true colors--
the colors of anarchy or Of desiring to
evade the mandates of the district and
Supreme Court. There is not sin
gle one of the whole band, with the
possible exception of sheriff, but who
should be arranged before bar and
heavily fined for contempt.
We cannot recall an instance that
can be compared with this evasion of
duty. laid down by the courts. The
Supreme Court has decided that Bea-
yer Falls is the county seat and the
district court has ordered it's officers
to move back to this designated county
seat. Yet this band of law evaders
heeds a worthless injunction, condones
and probably assists the residents of
Olivia in raising trivial and worthless
and frivolous points with which they
solemnly swear that they will prevent
the court and county records from
being moved back to Beaver Falls for
q period of three years or more
They do not deny but what it will ulti-
mately be moved back but they pro-
pose to evade the rulings of Court TO,
that period.
The raising of the question of res
idence and freeholdership of Smith
the petitioner, for the sole purpose Of
issue and thus requiring a jury in
Renville county, and staviug off Of
the proceedings for six months, is the
most trivial grounds we have heard of
Nearly every resident of Renyille
county is aware of Smiths citizenship
the preceding records in the contest
show him to be a citizen and free
holder, and, yet, the court is asked tc
take judicial notice Of the issue raised
Courts and laws add to the burles-
que and farce where they permit such
practices. They we're never intended
by the law trainers, by the founders
OF the constitution. The binding
cloth should be removed from the
eyes Of justice. Peremptory and
speedy action should be taken against
the blockaders. They should be in
formed that law is law and not com
edy.
And when the people, in their var
ious county conventions in Renville
county this fall, and at the polls in
November, give an expression of their
feelings towards the county officers
for their actions in attempting to evade
the laws, the expression should be
emphatic. At the polls the people
are supreme. There, they all can be
trusted all the time.
