AGAINST DAVIES,
Judge Webber Decides an lmpor
tant Case.

Judge Webber has decided the
quite-noted land title case of Cyrus B.
Jennings, Orpha E. Jennings and n.
T. Davies, represented by J. A. Sawyer
of Owatonna, against William johnson
and Orpha johnson, represented by
Baldwin, Harriott & Patterson and
Madigan & Dolliff, in favor of the de-
PENDANTS.
It will be remembered that the case
took up great deal of time at the
last term of court. In fact, it took up
more time than Judge Weber could
give it, and he found it necessary, in
order to give decision on it this sum-
mer, to have a referee appointed, and
take such evidence as he had not al
ready taken. The referee took the
remainder of the evidence after the
court had adjourned here and submit
ted the same to Judge Weber for his
persual during vacation.
N. T. Davies resides in Albert Lea
jennings indebtedness to him came
through the fact that Davies sold Jen-
nings ditcher or a grader, and the
principal and interest amounted to
$536.96.
The principal question in dispute
seemed to be the making of contracts
with johnson and Davies-that is,
which one was first. Davies claims
that his contract was made first while
johnson contends that an oral contract
with Jennings was made first. Judge
Weber holds with johnson against
Davies.
On March ~, 1890, the defendant.
William johnson, was in possession Of
the southeast quarter of section "a, in
town liz, range 81, in this county
On that day he executed and delivered
to the plaintiff, G. B. Jennings, a con-
tract, whereby Jennings entered into
possession of the land, which he held
until May 2, 1892.
On May 9Th, 1892, Jennings, it ap-
pears was indebted to the principal
plaintiff in the case, N. T. Davies, OF
the southern portion of the State. The
amount of this indebtedness was $685.,
Sc, according to certain promissory
notes held by Davies. On the last
named date Jennings delivered to the
interested plaintiff, Davies, an assign,
ment of the contract made with John.
son as security for said indebtedness.
The Court finds that no part of the
indebtness secured to the plaintiff
Davies, has ever been paid; that or
May I'd, 1892, Jennings had made de-
fault in the payment of the sums speci
fed in the contract, and also in severa
notes made by him in favor of johnson
the defendant, and then held and own
ed by johnson, and secured by chatte
mortgages upon certain personal prop
erty of the plaintiff, Jennings. A
this time Jennings and Johnson enter
ed into an oral contract that the frs
contract between johnson and Jen
nings should be rescinded and should
be void in accordance with it's term!
in case of default of payment, ane

A committee will leave for Washington
to-day. and appear before the ways and
means committee next Monday to urge
the establishing of a sub-treasury in this
city. The need of such an institution
here is very generally recognized. That
it is, will be so clearly demonstrated by
the Savannah committee that we cannot
see how the ways and means committee
can do otherwise than make a favorable
report.
1t has been quite a long while since
Cashier Burdell of the Chatham Bank sug-
gested a sub-treasury for Savannah. The
matter has been kept before the public
in one way and another, and the sub
treasury idea has grown greatly in favor.
Business men in a number of cities of
this state and adjacent states have ex-
pressed their approval of it, and have
promised to interest the congressman of
their respective districts in it.
With favorable report from the ways
and means committee Representative Les
ter will have very little trouble in get
ting through congress the bin authorizing
a sub-treasury in this city. Such an in
stitution would be another step in Savan-
nah's commercial progress.

Ther want The Cola FieIn..

From what the London Times says the
part Of the disputed territory in Vene-
zuela which Great Britain wants is that
which contains the gold fields. This is
made evident BY its editorial utterance
last Wednesday. to the effect that the
only point on which the British govern
ment can make no concessions is the re-
tention under British sovereignty OF bona
lde settled districts. II this can be Sc
cured there is no reason for standing by
the Schomburgk line"
The gold fields are occupied by British
adventures. The fields are supposed to
be very rich. They have already yielded
considerable gold. although the methods
OF working the mines are extremely
crude.
So it seems that the British government
doesn't insist upon the schomburgk line,
provided it is allowed TO exercise sover-
eighty over all territory occupied by Brit
ish subjects. From this it appears that
the British claim to the disputed terri
tory is based upon the fact that it is oc-
cupied by British subjects.
If this occupation had been acquiesced
in by Venezuela there would be some val
idity to the claim, but Venezuela never ac-
guessed She submitted because she was
afraid 10 use force to expel the invaders.
She. however. never ceased to protest.
She has been protesting for many years.
and her protests have been practically ig-
norcd
IL Great Britain has no better claim to
the disputed territory than that limited
at by the London Times. no commission
and no arbitrator would decide in her
favor. 1t would be impossible TO make
a decision in her favor without doing in
justice

Cola Lunches Not wanted.

An amusing incident occurred yester-
day al a meeting OF the committee on pub
tic buildings and grounds in the House,
says the Washington Post The question
under debate was the appointment of the
successor to Thomas J. Murrey, the
House caterer. Some of the members were
advocating the appointment of Mr. Muir
rey; others were using their eloQuence in
behalf of Mr. Page, and others were press
ing the claims of individual candidates.
Mr. Kiefer of Minnesota was making a
strong appeal for a candidate by the name
of Zieman and was urging in his behalf
that he had been steward in President
Harrison's family. for four years.
Steward for whom?'' asked one of the
members, suddenly appearing deeply in
terestsd.
Il said repeated Mr.. Kiefer, "that he
had been steward in President Harrison's
family for four years"
Holy smoker exclaimed the inuuisi-
tive member, I'VE don't want cold lunches

mltteemen and Mr.. Kiefer resumed his

From their conversation they must have
been old college ohums who had not met
for a long time until they ran up against
each other in an Eleventh street car last
evening, says the Philadelphia Record. The
smaller one was accompanied by two mid
dle-aged men, who looked like prosperous
merchants, while the other eX-coIiegian,
one of those fellows with a stentorian
voice, was alone
They shook hands effusively. and then
began an exchange of "reminiscences. in
which such fragments as: Don't you re-
member the '86 game with Yale?" and
whats become of Jack Soandso ?" were
distinguishable all over the ear. The big
man was not particularly careful in his
voice of language, and occasionally would
rip out an oath that might have done cred
it to a bearded pard."
Suddenly the other seemed to realize
that something was wrong, and, leaning
over, he whispered: Say, old man. be a

Just after the war Of 1776 an American
frigafe visited England. says Harper's

acknowledged, did not compare favOraby

The Republican Party Responsible.
From the New York Mercury (De1n.).

Democrats should. bear in mind the fact
that the republican party is responsible
for the condition of the federal treasury
The looting of the treasury began under
President Harrison. The deficit originated
under Harrison after he had signed two

Harrison retired from Office leaving an
empty treasury, and it was the same
treasury which he found filled to over
flowing when he went into Office four years
before. Cleveland filled the treasury:
Harrison emptied it. All the ills the coun-
try now suffers from are due to repubi-
can demagogy and republican squander-
