Satisfactorily Settled.

Several w eeks ago A. u. Robbins
of this city sold n team Of horses to
Andrew Martinson Of the town OF
Culdrum. Last week deputy sheriff
came down from Menagha and took
the team under a chattel mortgage
and Martinson was left without a
team.
Yesterday Mr.. Robbins made a set
Element with Martinson that was
entirely satisfactory to him. Not
withstanding that there was no
chance for criminal proceedings
against Robbins, as he was not the
mOrtgagor, he made u full and salts
factory restitution for the loss OF the
team to Martinson. The team was
bought by Robbins from Archie
Tugas. who lives seven miles north
of Brainerd, and he was like Robbins
an innocent purchaser OF the mort
gagged horses. 1t is now learned that
the horses passed through five differ
ent hands since the mOrtagOr dis
posed of them. Tugas is former
resident of the town Of Belle Prairie.
He ia in poor circumstances and

FOR THE COLLISION.
Engine "46" Will Represent
the Gold in the Minneapolis
Collision.

Engine "46" for many years ON the
Little Falls & Dakota branch. with
j. D. Fuller as engineer, passed
through the city Monday afternoon
enroute to Minneapolis, where it will
he one of the engines used In the col
lision at Minnehaha park, arranged
for by the Penny Press for Saturday
next.
The engines willeach represent one
uf the two great metals, and "46
has been selected for the gold, and
the other for silver.
Engine "4G'' IL one that has been
discarded for ROAD service by the
Northern Pacific for several years,
giving way to the larger and
stronger Standard engines.
The collision will occur ut Mime
haha park, Minneapolis, next Sntur-
day afternoon, and it will undonbt-
edly be witnessed by Il great many
people. Just what the collision IL
intended to demonstrate we cannot
say, unless to allow the people to
see a great railway collision without
the horrors of those that occur by
accident. Both engines will be going
at a rate of As miles per hour, it is
said, when they collide, and without
doubt both will be demolished and
rendered unfit for further use, other
than scrap iron.
Old "4G' was utilized until the last ,
however, hauling train to Mime
apOlis Tuesday. She was all
painted up and across the tank was
the word "gOld" in large gilt letters.
The engine which will represent
silver III the collision il "G3." one OF
the old time passenger engines on
the Duluth and Brainerd branch.
Like the gold engine, 1t is one OF the
Baldwin locomotives. and is well
worn ont. 1t was taken to Mime
apolis Wednesday. The engineer
in charge said it was impossible to
get u very high rate Of speed out OF
either, but it is said that both
engines will pull four box cars loadcd
with sand. This will give more
force to the engines when the collision
occurs.

many OF the products here already.
II the samples already in are al
tndica ton of the general grtcultural

agricultural counties of the state in
addition tOits many other resources.
OF the products now in there are
cornstalks fourteen feet high, with
large ears Of corn, sugar cane twelve
feet high, and samples of wheat and
oats that cannot be bea ten for this
season. There ia also an exception.
ally fine exhibit of grasses, including

of the creates features OF the e1-
hibit.
In fruit there are now here SAM
pies of apples grown in the town OF
Elm Dale that weigh q pound each,
and also some fine specimens OF
plums.
This is but Il small part of the ex-

and industries second to no locality
in the northwest.

can be seen at Geo. LaFOnd's store.
The collection of the exhibit has been

Chas. Gravel Tuesday began the
erection of a warehouse on the enst
side of the eleva tor side. track between
Broadway and First avenue north
east. The building will be 26x6O feet,
one story. and will be used by Mr..
Gravel as Il storehOuse for flour, feed,
ETC., from his Gravelville mill. This
viii prove Of great convenience TO
Mr.. Gravel in handling the flour
which he ships to other points. His
mill being located about eight miles
from the city it was necessary to
store his flour ut his down town
building, as a car cOulG not he held
twoor three days while being loaded.
This necessitated considerable more
work handling the flour. He will
now fill the warehouse with flour,
and will be ready to ship on short
notice several carloads at time.
besides saving the expense of hauling
from the store to the cars.

LIGHT Demand for Lumber.

Minneapolis Lumberlnan: 1t Is the
height of folly to assert that the saw
mills of the northwest are closing
down simply to impress upon the
employees the seriousness OF the stu
alton that they may thereby be
influenced to vote for sound money
Free silver agitators have frequently
made this assertion OF late and 1t
should be stated to the credit Of the
saw mill employees that it has found
favor with but very few Of them.
Would a sane business man shut
down a business like manufacturing
lumber if it was profitable to him,
lust for the sake of making votes for
the side that he favored? Does any
one for a minute think that Il sane
man would do such thing? The
employees who see the lumber in pile
and who observe the lack Of demand
for it. can readily understand why
saw mills are closing down. The
situation is serious enough, heaven
knows, yet he who attributes the
closing down of the mills to a politi
cal movement is a fit candidate for
insane asylum hOnOrs.

lilies from this city, the several picket
posts from different parts OF the

encampment it is estimated that
fully 200 people will go from this
city. The Northern Pacific has
agreed to leave an extra coach
here for the people of this city, and
the members of the local Grand
Army post will see that it is appro:
priately. decorated.

Grounds on LeeCh Lake,
Near Walker.
The Cass County Pioneer, published
at Walker, contains the following
description of the Berkey camp on
Leech lake:
1.-The Berkey party, from st. Paul,
have been at their tenting grounds
several days, and have made the
place an ideal summer abode.
Located, as they are. on a heauti'
full little peninsula bedecked with in
Vulnerable natural shade trees, and
only about quarter of mile from
town, though 50 situated as to he
quite out Of town; they are justly
proud in the possession OF what is
remarked by all as the most beauti-
full and convenient grounds in the
whole park region.
On the bank leading down to the
shore and fronting toward Walker is
large circle made of whited cobble
stones, and huge B in the center. OF
the same construction. announcing
to the passer by that J. A. Berkey is
not far in the distance; a walk up

look and every word is al indorse-
ment of the surroundings.
Their camping outfits and all the
accomplishments are complete and
first-class in every particular and

feet high.
What makes the place most
attractive us camping place is the
good supply of cold spring water, a
running stream issuing from the
spring on either side of the grounds
down in the valleys; one of the
springs made use of for a cold stor-
age room and the other for drinking
purposes, cold almost as ice water,
and pure as the purest.
Three row boats, two canoe boats
and sail boat afford the party
means OF travel on the water. They
have a fine harbOr and dock where
the stream out of one OF the springs
empties into the lake. Rustic seats
have been built. walks laid out,
lamps put up, and all things else
done and being done to add to COM
fort and the appearance of the place.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
work of the Brainerd & Northern
Minnesota railway, hauling logs
from the lakes where they were put
last winter, is going along at a rapid
rate. Six or seven trains per day
are pulling into Brainerd and dump
ing their loads into the river at that
point. About the only work in the
way of laying track that has been
done this year was the putting in OF
spurs to reach the lakes where the
logs were that had to come out this
season.

"Set the mills in motion rather
than the mints,' was the senten'
tious suggestion made by Major
Mckinley in a few remarks to a
delegation Of callers a few days
ago. There is more genuine pa
triotism and practical philosophy
in that simple remark than in all
that Candidate Bryan has said
since he set out on his paripatetic
swing from Lincon to New York
and return. Mr.. Bryan's brain
power is not equal to the memen'
tum ofhis valuable tongue, and that,
unbapp1ly, IS the case with the
great mass of the popocratlc crowd
which follows in his adventurous
but disastrous political wake

Sound Money at PlerZ.

J. H. Rhodes made sound money
speech at Pierz on Saturday evening
He reports that many Democrats OF
that town are opposed to free silver
coinage, and that Bryan will certain
" get q very much smaller vote than
any Democratic candidate has re-
ceived there in the past. The town
is strongly Democratic. but the free
silver scheme is SO far from former
Democratic principles, that it is OBJ
jectionable to great many voters
there, The question is causing much
discussion there, and Mr.. Rhodes be-
]ieyes that the votes will show q
very strong sound money sentiment.
Other meetings will be held later,
and an effort made to secure the
attendance of prominent German
speakers who oppose Bryan's eiec-
ton.
