A ST. PETER TRAGEDY.
A Brutal rlurder Committed There
Yesterday Afternoon.

A cold blooded murder was commit
ted at ST. Peter Monday afternoon.
Two strangers, claiming to be harvest
hands arrived On the noon freight yes
terday. After dinner they walked in
to Umland's saloon and with other
people in the place drank a few
glasses of beer, afterwards going into
card room and playing cards. They
became noisy and appeared to be
Quarrelling, and the bartender told
them to be quiet. On returning to
the bar room, the smaller of the two
struck his companion in the face.
The man who had been struck quietly
left the saloon, went to Ia hardware
store three blocks away, purchased a
revolver and returned to the saloon
by rear door. He treated the people
there and then turning to his COM
panion said "You have lived long
enough" and emptied the six cham
bers of his revolver at him. Two of
the balls lodged in the wall, but the
other four took effect, one of them
entering the heart. The wounded
man died ten minutes later.
The man who did the shooting left
the saloon, walked block sat down
and awaited an officer who locked him
in Jail. He gave up his revolver and
volunteered to accompany the officer.
He gave his name as Charles Clark,
said that his home was at Havana,
ILL.,, and that he was single man and
had no friends in this region. Con-
corning his victim, he said that he
did not know his name, being stran-
gers to each other, the fellow had in
suited him, and he didn't propose to
stand it. He hoped that his victim
was dead Clark is about thirty-tive
years of age and earlier in the day he
claimed to be d very bad man, who
would as soon shoot man as eat.
He was somewhat intoxicated. The
murdered man was five or ten years
younger and left nothing by which
he could be identified. While Clark
was gone for the revolver, he sat in
one of the chairs in the saloon.
The coroner's jury was at work on
| the case the greater part of today.

uary 1897, and that for the interval
between the first day of January 1896
and the first day of January 1897, the
court should appoint a clerk. The
office of clerk of the district court is
a constitutional office, and the turn of
office is fixed by the constitution at
four years. One would suppose from
this thai the terms Of office would
follow touching each other. The Of
ice is made elective by the constitu-
tlon, and one would suppose that if
the term Of office of any clerk ex-
pred on the first day of January 1896,
his successor should be elected at the
nearest preceding election which
would be in the fall of 1894, and [ see
no reason why such successor should
not have been legally elected at that
time. But the legislature saw fit to
enact IN effect that for whole wear
from January first 1896, to January
first 1897, the office should not be cleo
tive but appointive. Many thought
that if the legislature could make
the office non-elective for
whole year, it could do so for ten
years, and thereby entirely defeat
the constitution.
Hence the clerk of court of this
county was elected in the fall of 1894
for a term of Office beginning on the
first day of January 1896. This was
done in view of the fact that the law
of 1891 might be held to be unconsti-
tutional.
The attorney general seems to be of
the opinion that the law of 1891 is
constitutional and cites the case of
State VS.. O'Leary in support of his
view. That case does not decide any
such thing. The decision of that case
did not require the supreme court to
pass on the question of the con-
stitutionality OF the law of 1S91-and
whatever is said in the opinion of
Judge Collins, who wrote the opinion
in the case, is mere obiter dactun.
The question of the constitutional
ity of the law of 1891 is still an open
question, and has not been foreclosed
by any decision of the supreme court.
/ Many Of the judges of the district
and supreme courts of this state were
elected in 1894 for terms beginning on
the first day of January 1896. and no
good reason can be given why clerks
Of courts could not be legally at the
same time for terms beginning on the
first day of January 1896. This course
could only preserve the harmony of
| the constitution in the opinion of
many judges and lawyers in this state.
But IN view of the uncertainty that
exists perhaps it is better that the
office of clerk Of the district court in
this county and other counties SINH
larry situated should be filed by cleo
tion this fall.

A CHANGE SUGGESTED.

A Madison Lake resident was seen
at WaterYille by Mankato merchant
the other day and noticed to be wear
ing new suit of clothes, which he
said he got at Faribault. The Man
kato man had been selling him cloth
ing heretofore and asked him why he
went to Faribault this time. The
Madison Lake man gave as his reason
the running time of the trains. Two
trains leave this city in the morning,
and come back in the afternoon and
evening, an arrangement which gives
Faribault a decided advantage over
Mankato for trading purposes.
1t has been suggested that it would
be good deal better if one train went
in the morning and the other in the
evening

NO DELAY.

Ir. Thurston, in a characters
ticlliy brisk letter to the Adver-
tiser, urges upon the Government
and Legislature the desirability
of acting at this session upon the
loan matter. He shows that by
funding the debt at lower rate
than that of six per cent on the
old loans, million do lars might
be borrowed for highly necessary
internal development without in
creasing the country's annual in
terest bill. Mr.. Thurston is not
impartial, however, when he at
tackS the loan at six per cent
foated in London under the Glib.
son regime. Loans have been is
sued since then at the same rate,
which, if advantage had been
taken of that opening, could
have been fioated in the same
market for a lower rate and the
bonds command premium even
then. 1t was the opening that
cost heavily in expenses that
would not need to be repeated,
and this fact was clearly shown
at the time. However, it is pleas
ing to find Mr.. Thurston working
on the same line as the BULLETIN
has taken, against showing all the
important Legislative duties of
today upon the next Legislature.

working all day on a high

Speaking ofthe above watch:
1t was an old one. The wearer
had used it steadily for forty
years. 1t had run enough;had
revolved its wheels so long and
steadily, that at last it was
tired out. The pivots were so
worn, the wheels just wobbled
and wobbled. then stopped al
together. What was to be
done? Throw it away? Get a
new one. Yes, but the wearer
valued it for it's associations, it
was as dear to him as his best
friend;so nothing would do but
build it all over as it were, re-
new the parts, put some go
into it. That we accomplished
it to the entire satisfaction of
the owner, his remarks above
would surely leave no room for
doubt. And we can do the
same with yours, sometimes.

The only way to get trade
is to go after it and bring it
back with you and keep it
when you have got it. This
is our doctrine and we prac-
tice what we preach. We go
after the trade of Honolulu
and the Hawaiian islands by
advertising for it, and we find
that it pays us to use whole
columns of the newspapers in
doing so where many mer-
chants only use inches. There
is no use denying that adver-
Using will bring trade, but any
amount OF advertising won't
keep it. The only way to keep
the trade we get by advertising
is to sell good reliable wares,
and never miSrepresent an ar
ticle we advertise. We have
never done this yet and we
don't intend to commence at
this late day. The success
