l.. ID. Saylor's Milk Delivery Team
Runs Away.

At about half past ten Monday
forenoon, L. d. Saylor's milk delivery
team ran away on Fifth street, scat
tering milk cans along the street
promiscuously. When in front of the
court house the horse jumped into j
B. Ogle's buggy, which was standing
there while he was transacting bust
ness in the building. The buggy was
demolished, and the horse hitched to
it was thrown down and bruised and
famed. Mr.. Saylor's team then kept
on down the street at a rapid pace.
The milk wagon was damaged, and
the contents lost.
An hour later the team again ran
away, starting down Hickory street
from in front of Geo. Ponds residence,
with the pole down, and taking
Fourth over to Walnut, where wheel
was taken off and Mr.. Saylor thrown
out and the wagon damaged. Mr..
Saylor was uninjured, however, and
managed to catch and stop his horses
before they had gone any further.
The second load of milk was scattered
along the street.

KEEP A GOOD MAN THERE.

Mr.. Charles A. Pillsbury. of Mime
apolis, has just returned from trip
east, during which he visited Wash
ington, and in an interview with the
st. Paul Dispatch, has the following to
say in regard to keeping a good man
in congress as long as he will stay
there: 'More than anything else, l
was impressed with the amount of in
fluence that length of service gives to
members in both houses. Take the
state of Maine, for example They
have the speaker of the house, presi-
dent pro tenn of the senate, chairman
of the ways and means committee, and
every one of their members, both in
the house and senate, is chairman of
some important committee. This is
simply because they have kept their
old members in service, and have not
replaced them at the end of two or
three terms. If influence is what is
wanted. other states should follow
Names example" Speaking of presi-
Dental chances, he said that Nc
Kinley and Reed were the leading
candidates, but that Senator Davis
was much talked of and had many
friends all through the east. The
senator is in earnest as to his candi-
dacy and his friends are doing some
good work for him. Mr.. Pillsbury
thought, from what he could learn,
that the leading candidates were
likely to have strength enough to
block each others chances, and that
Senator Davis is the man likely to
profit by such a result.

The advent of Henry WatterSOn on
the platform in Mankato March 18th
promises to be of more than the u.s.
ual interest attached to his lectures.
The date upon which he appears here
being ST. Patrick's day, a few words
from this distinguished American
paying his homage to ST. Patrick and
saying something about ST. Patrick's
day will be especially interesting to
his hearers, and Mr.. Watterson has
personally promised that it will af-
ford him pleasure to speak briefly up
on this subject in connection with
his lecture on "Money and Morals"
The indications now are that Mr..
Watterson will be accorded the lar
gest audience ever given to a lee
turer in Mankato and all who hear
him will be more than repaid.

The Minnesota Editorial AsSo-
citation will meet in ST. Paul on
Thursday and Friday next, Feb. 20
and 81. 1t will be one of the most
important meetings yet held, and will
no doubt be promotive of much good.
The result of the move which the
Association made for needed legisla-
tion in behalf of newspapers last win
ter, shows what can be done when
the editorial fraternity of the state
pulls together and adopts business
methods and it is to be hoped that
such business methods will prevail in
the future.

with charcoal.
He had only three books, the Bible
and two others.
He learned many things from the
Bible by heart. When he was ten
years old his mother died, and his
father married again.

Judge Severance has under cOnSid-
GRAFTON a most curious action, and
one having sensational. features. AL
though it comes from Martin county,
it will be none the less interesting to
our readers.
Mrs. Emma l.. Doyle has commenc-
ed an action to set aside a divorce
which she herself procured from
her first husband, Geo. T. Pixley
three years ago. They were married
at Alton, N. Y, July 18th, 1868, and
the plaintiff alleges that for four
years she had been of weak mind and
without the mental capacity to under
stand what was going on. She
claims that her husband schemed
to be divorced from her and led her
to believe that he had committed
adultery. He instructed her in this
story and promised her that he would
not contest divorce proceedings to be
commenced by her, and would pay
her 81, 900, and this promise he car
ried out, so says the complaint,
She now believes that the
story was false and that Mr.. PiXley
wanted to be released from caring for
her.
The plaintiff states that Judge B.
f. Worries, who is the leading attOr-
ney of Fairmont, was her attorney or
claimed to be such, but was really en-
gagged with the defendant, and work
ed with the latter, the plaintiff be-
ing insane She alleges that the plan
of her husband and her attorney sue
ceeded, and that the divorce was
granted while she was insane. She
married Mr.. Doyle since then. She
asks the court to set aside the divorce,
or else to grant her judgment for
$4,000 from the defendant, OF else to
grant her one-half of his property,
which she alleges to be worth SS12,-
900 or more. She also wants $1,000
damages on account of the alleged
plot by which the divorce was pro-
cured. Her attorney is II. III. Dunn,
of Fairmont. The defendant has de-
INJURED to the complaint.
