TORRENS ACQUITTED.
Stuart Failed to Have Him Bound
Over,

Prof. J. L. Torrens was acquitted of
the charge of riot by Justice Fleischer
of the town of Homer last Tuesday
afternoon.
The charge of riot was made against
Mr.. Torrens by one Matt Parsons of
New Avon township, through his at
torney, D., A. Stuart. Parsons is
occupying land belonging to Torrens,
formerly owned by Parsons, but sold
under the hammer year or more ago,
and purchased of the mortgagor by
Mr.. Torrens. When seeding time
came last spring Torrens went on to
the farm and sowed most of the land.
On August 4th, with two young men,
he went on to the land with two bind
ers and started cutting the grain.
Parsons has been making life a
burden for Torrens ever since Torrens
bought the land, not only refusing to
move from the same but also fighting
him on every point. As soon as Tor
rens appeared with the harvesters he
came to town and informed his attor-
ney of what had happened. Stuart
appeared before Justice Fleischer and
it is alleged, stated that the county at
torney gave him permission to secure
warrant without giving bonds for
costs. The warrant was issued against
the three men for riot and the case
came on for a preliminary examina-
ton last Monday, occupying Monday
and Tuesday, Fleischer discharging
the prisoners on the afternoon of the
latter day.
During the trial the defense pre-
sented letters from County Attorney
Clague in which that gentleman
stated that he never gave Stuart
authority to state that the warrant
should be issued without security for
costs. Stuart denied informing JUS
tice Fleischer to that effect and
practically called Judge Baldwin, at
torney for Torrens, liar. Judge
Baldwin calmly replied:
"The court knows whether you made
the statement or not. Heretofore l
have always spoken Of you as gen
tleman; have always supposed that
you were one up to the present time"

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make the following
extract: II have no hesitation in
recommending DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, as the results were almost
marvellous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at Rives junction, she was
brought down with pneumonia sue
ceeding la grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery, it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results"

these complimentary remarks we're
INDUCED in.
RECEIVED HER FRIENDS,

A delightfully."- pleasant affair was
the reception rendered Miss Hollister
on Mrs. McMillan's lawn last Tuesday
evening, by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and the Physical
Culture class.
Mrs. Mcmillan, the Revs. Sinclair,
Knowlton and Porter voiced the cor
dial greetings of the company in brief
addresses, expressing warm appreci-
alton of Miss HOLSTERS helpfulness
during her stay in our city. Rev. Por-
ter accused Miss Hollister of deliber-
ate deception. Coming as she did
ostensably to strengthen the physical
being by her physical culture training,
she had strengthened and frightened
morally, mentally and spiritually, all
lives with whom she had come in con-
tact. Miss Hollister responded in her
usual happy manner which has won
her so many friends, adding few
earnest words for temperance and
purity.
Lemonade, cake and fruit were SER
we'd later in the evening, and the com
pany broke up after most enjoyable
social time.
We bid Miss Hollister God-speed
as she goes from us, and hope she will
come again sometime.

A CONSPIRACY.
From first page.

called up again by the teachers ask
ing if he could not think of something
more on the subject. After thinking
very hard for a moment happy
thought seemed to strike him. He
then spoke of Mr.. Brokaw, and OF the
love and respect which the whole
school held for him, and in an i'm
pressive manner presented to him
hansome silver salver with two gold
lined goblets.
Charles Leslie Congdon was then
called upon to tell what he could on
the subject of conspiracies. MIR.
Congdon said that the worlds history
was full of conspiracies of all sorts
and shapes, but of all conspiracies he
ever heard of this one beat them all;
and amusingly told the story of this
conspiracy from its rise to its compile
ton and how each had aided in con-
spring against themselves, and how
each had contributed toward his own
present.
When Mr.. Congden took his seat
Mr.. Beckman wished to be excused
for fear he would miss his train but
the teacher refused to give him per-
mission, saying that very important
part of the subject had not been touch
ed as yet, and after severely criticing
some of the class for not being able
to say anything further on the subject
he presented to Miss Tanner, Miss
Mann, Mr.. Beckman and MIR. Congdon,
a handsome souvenir spoon on which
we're engraved the words "Redwood
Falls" urging that they keep them as
a reminder of the conspiracy of '96 in
Redwood Falls, and of the affection
and esteem which the Redwood coun-
ty teachers held for them.
The class was then dismissed and
the meeting closed with chorus led
by MIR. Congdon.

THE STOCK FAIR.
Tuesday, August 18th, the Date
of the Opening.

Members of the Board of Trade
have been quietly working up move
ment for inaugurating a series of
monthly stock fairs at Redwood Falls
recently, and their efforts took final
shape last Monday morning at a citi-
zens meeting in which almost all lines
of trade in the city were represented
The hearty expression of interest and
public spirit shown at this meeting is
promise in advance that our first
monthly stock fair will be hummer,
in spite of the short time for prepare
ton.
President H. A. Baldwin called the
meeting to order and exhorted all
present who had suggestions as to the
best methods for attracting to the
proposed fair those who had stock or
produce to sell, and to make the day
profitable one to all who came, to
stand up and lend hand. Attorney
Mcleod was appealed to to tell what
he knew about the monthly fairs in
his old home town in Carver county.
Mcleod said that the town in question
had held monthly fairs continuously
for fifteen years, and attracted crowds
Of buyers and sellers in spite of being
cut off from railroad communication.
The leading spirits of that town
Watertown-had organized thorough
ly and seen to it that all people who
came to the fair we're taken care of
and encouraged to come again. He
thought that the same methods would
win success here. Messrs. Wolff,
Philbrick, Race, Dornberg, A. E. King,
and others, had each few words of
encouragement or suggestion for the
enterprise, and upon President Bald
win calling for rising vote on the
proposition to hold stock fair this
month all present arose to their feet.
A request was made that all stock
buyers in this section be urged to
come here on fair day to meet farmers,
and the business men agreed to make
such cuts on ordinary prices on differ
ent lines Of goods, that all who came
could make money by buying as we'll
as by selling here on the day agreed
upon--Tuesday, August 25th.
Messrs. A. E. King, H. NJ. Hitch
cock and G. E. Dickinson were ap-
pointed a committee to see that the
fair is thoroughly advertised in Red
wood and Renville counties, and the
proper COMMITTEES we're asked to see
that music by the band and out-of-
door sports we're provided so as to
make the day enjoyable for all who
came, as we'll as profitable
The next issue of The GAZETTE will
outline the main features of our first
stock fair, which will be worth coming
miles to see.

PROFITS IN BICYCLE MAKING.
Statistics On the Industry I'm Indiana
as shown by Reports.

Statistics which are compiled from figures
furnished by bicycle manufacturers of this
State show some things Of great interest
to those who have bought wheels. The sew
enteen factories of the State have $64O107 in
material is s., OH 275, and the annual amount
paid in wages is 1886, 094 which makes total
annual cost for labor and material of S. 70S,3 69
The value of the annual product is given at
$3,OS5,377. When the labor and material is
subtracted from this amount it leaves the net
amount for profit and selling expenses at
the enormous figure Of s1,37 ,OoS Allowing
almost 100000 for the cost of selling the
product which would seem to be enormous,
for it is nearly two-thirds of the entire cost
of labor. the net profit would be 100000 on
an investment of $640, 107.
This compares with other industries as fol-
lows: In wooden mills material and labor
cost S1.1S9,743, and the product was worth
81, AS, 29S; material and labor in cotton mills
cost $1265,36O. and the product was worth
81. 392,9S0; material and labor TOR furniture
factories cost S., ZIG, 633, and the product was
worth $685. SIS.
There are seventeen bicycle factories In
this State, which includes all factories en-
gagged in making either complete wheels or
parts. OF this number nine are located in
this city. The record of wages paid speaks
well for the industry. In four factories
wages were increased during the last year an
average of 125 per cent. Three of these are
indianapolis factories and the increase was
1873 per cent, the other one being 10 per cent.
There were no strikes of any kind during the
wear.

The riders of the city are rapidly approx
ing the plan for good bicycle path by their
subscriptions to the fund for building 1t.
There has been little active work yet, but a
number of people have books containing sub
scription blanks, and report that they have
no trouble in getting them filled by wheel
men. 1t is not known just how many shares
have been taken, because those having books
have made no detailed reports OF their work

done and those who have not yet taken stock
see what kind of path will be built, there
will be no trouble in raising sufficient money
to complete the entire thirty miles.
Since the league has been Incorporated
there has been much talk OF widening the
scope of its work This was provided for in
the articles of Incorporation, but few people
knew that 1t was intended for any other
purpose than the building of a path. 1t is
proposed to have the league take charge Of
the agitation for certain legislation wanted
in this State by riders. In the line of paths

Another law proposed is one similar to that
recently passed in New Jersey and New
York. declaring bicycles TO be baggage. and
not subject to extra charge on passenger
trains.
that stealing bicycle be placed on a par
with horse stealing in the punishment. The
same reasons which made horse stealing a
greater offense than stealing something else
of equal value can be advanced for the BIZ
cycle. 1t is a machine which will carry
thief away from danger of pursuit and take
him In way that he cannot be as easily
followed as If ne went on train. When
wheels are stolen and recovered they are
usually found in some other city than the
one in which they were stolen, unless The
thief was not a professional. Nobody can
tell how they got to the other city, because
they cannot be traced like a shipment by
freight or express.
These only few of the things that IL
is proposed to look after when the Wheelway
League gets in good running order. other
cities will be asked to follow the lead of this
city and make similar organizations. so that
when the election for members of the Legis-
lature comes two years from now. those who
fail to respond TO the appeals of the wheel
men next winter may be defeated at the
nominating conventions.
