MONROE DOCTRINE ENDORSED.

If congress adopts the resolutions on
the Monroe doctrine which were re-
norted to the senate yesterday from
Jlg committee on fOreignI relations,
and which were written by Senator
Davis, Of this state, there will be no
q astion as to the meaning of the
lifted States upon matters pertain
ing to the relations of nations of the
world with those of the new,world.
he resolutions are strong and point
eel and after reaffirming the princi-
ples laid down by President Monroe,
oe full meaning of these principles
are clearly stated and set forth, and
gland nor no other country can
make any mistake as to what is
meant. The resolutions expressly de-
clare that the United States will deem
any attempt by any European power
to take or occupy any new territory
on the American continents, or any
islands adjunct thereto, for any right
of sovereignty or dominion, through
force, purchase, cession, occupation,
colonization, protectorate or by con-
troll of the easement in canal or any
other means of transit across the
American isthmus, whether on I'M
founded pretensions of right in cases
of alleged boundary disputes, or I'M
der other unfounded pretensions, as
the manifestation of an unfriendly
disposition toward the United States,
and as an interposition which would
be impossible in any form for the
United States to regard with indiffer-
ence.
There is patriotic ring about these
resolutions that is refreshing. If
adopted by congress, as there is prob
ably no question but that they will
be, Europe will be given plainly to
understand, if she does not now, that
further interference which will
menace our peace will not be brooked.
Wisely maintained, they twill settle
for all time foreign interference upon
the western hemisphere, free US
almost entire from chances of'.foreign
ENHANCEMENT, and so reduce to the
minimum the chances of our peace
being disturbed
The recent crises has shown that
while European nations may buster
somewhat for appearance sake, they
have no great desire to engage in war
with us, but let the principles of the
Monroe doctrine be dropped, and the
chances are greatly increased that
difficulties might arise, through
European greed for more territory,
through which our peace might be
entirely shattered and war result.
1t has been put forth that the prin-
ciples of the Monroe doctrine has
never been formally endorsedsby con-
gress. This seems to be true, but it
has been formally endorsed by the
people, and the adoption of the Davis
resolutions would proclaim to the
world that it has not been cast aside
but is still In force and most aggres-
sively so.

TWO SUGGESTIONS.
A Starch Factory and Beet Sugar
Factory for MankatO.

49,
Factory for MankatO.
In talking about projects that
would benefit Mankato, James Shoe
maker said today: "While people are
suggesting things that would be of
benefit to Mankato, | want to sug-
gest that while the farmers institute
is in session here steps be taken to
organize company to put up a starch
factory. 1t would not cost much,
and the farmers ought to take an in
terest in it. There are enough pota-
toes in this country to keep such
factory busy. In Stearns county
there is a starch factory run on the
same plan, and potatoes there have
been worth eighteen and twenty
cents bushel, while ten cents has
been the ruling price here. The fac
tory there used 100000 bushels of po-
tatoes last year. This is a subject
that ought to be given considera-
tion."
Judge Shissler endorsed this, and
also suggested that Mankato ought
not to give up the idea of having a
beet sugar factory. He said that the
farmers can raise the product in this
vicinity and that it would be good
thing for them as we'll as the city.

What is Rupture?

In every human being there are two
openings one on each side of The lower
parts of the abdomen called 'Inguinal
Rings" through which passes the
Spermatic Cords or Fallopian Tubes.
and are formed by the muscles and
ligaments. When they tit close around
the cord it is an impossibility for any
one to have Rupture. But when,
from any cause, these muscles become
relaxed from and the opening too large
all that prevents the intestines from
coming out is the lining membrane or
perltoneum, and severe strain. cough
or sneeze will force them out. when it
is called Inguinal hernia, and if il fol-
lows the cord down into the scrOtum,
it is called scrotal hernia. There it
will be seen there is nothing torn or
rent, but simply relaxed muscles and
a strained membrane
Our theory of cure is to retain the
membrane and intestines with the alb
dominal cavity and develop the mus
cles to their normal condition. there
by closing the ''rings" and making a
making permanent cure.
This we accomplish by the use of
DR.. BARDWELL'S BAR LOCK
TRUSS, and the use of our MUSCLE
lNVlGORATOR, applied externally.
A permanent cure guaranteed with
out any surgical operation or risks.

A DRAMATIC STORY.
Acquittal of an Alleged Mankato Muir.
derer Saves a North Dakota Man.

A curious story comes floating over
the country from Medora, n. d. That
town and county are still excited over
the verdict of acquittal in the Wads
worth murder trial The people
Medora claim that illegal and undue
influence was brought to bear on the
jury, resulting in Marcus Wadsworths
acquittal, and they claim to be
abundantly able to prove all that
they have asserted, while Bismarck
jurors threaten to bring suits against
Medora parties.
The following story is told by the
Medora correspondent of the Mime
apolis Journal:

if true, would furnish the foundation
for thrilling western drama. The
Billings county people are so dissat-
listed with the results that they
will leave nothing undone to ferret
out the case.

Next Tuesday morning the grand lodge OF
the Knights Of Pythias will meet in annual
session at Lincoln. At the last meeting Of
the body Norfolk was chosen as the place
for holding this years session, but owing
to the fact that that town Is not centrally
located a change was made to Lincoln.
There are In the neighborhood of 100
lodges In the state. Each of these Is en-
titled to from one to four delegates, accord

therefore that about 200 delegates will he

The manufacturers OF Nebraska are very
much interested In the proposed change In
the constitution OF the state which would
allow the voting OF bonds to aid in the locS-
tion OF factories No manufacturer now In
business can derive any direct benefit from
such a change, but they all appreciate the
Importance of developing the resources OF
the state and they believe that is the best
way to accomplish the desired result. The
executive committee of the Manufacturers
and Consumers association of Nebraska has
adopted the following as showing the posi-
tion Of the manufacturers OF the state on
this subject;
Resolved That this association heartily

Relatives at a Loss to Account for His
Sclf-Dcstruction.
John York, well-to-do farmer living
near Benson, was found hanging by the
neck in a barn located on his sons farm
several miles from his own home yesterday
morning When the body was discovered 1t
was cold life having evidently been extinct
for some hours.
York worked about his farm until noon
Friday, when he departed in his wagon
for this city. lie remained in town for
several hours and returned home just be-
fore nightfall. When he reached his house
he informed his family that he intended to
visit his son, who lives about two miles
and half southwest OF Benson. None of
his relatives saw him alive after that
time.
The son did not expect the visit and did
not see his father at all during the night
The old man evidently went directly to the
barn to commit his deed of self-destruction
From the condition of the corpse it was
apparent that York died during the early
Part OF the night.
The ghastly sight was disclosed to the son
early yesterday morning when he opened
he barn door to begin his days labors.
lhe puuS VI hls ldtHSI was swinging at lne
end of a bride rein, from an open trap
door that led into the loft of the building
1t is believed that York arranged the strap
about his neck in the loft and then jumped
of to his death.
The body was at once cut down by the
son, who FASTENED to Benson to inform the
proper authorities. Coroner Burket was
summoned at late hour yesterday morning
The remains were brought to the morgue in
this city. The time for the inquest has
not yet been set.
The relatives of the deceased are unable
TO assign any motive for the deed York
was abundantly supplied with worldly
goods owning other property In addition to
the farm upon which he was living. He
hld not worried over any matters what
ever and had never intimateG any intention

When the Scotch people undertake any
thing they go into it with heart and head
for the best results. In the preparation for
the play of Rob Roy" which is to be pro-
duced at the Creighton theater November
5, and Z, young and old have rehearsed
and drilled with enthusiastic interest and
in addition to their head and hands they
have given their feet. The pageant of
nations and the gathering of the clans is
full of dances. Not only Scotch dances, but
the national dances of almost every nation
find a place on the program. Rob Roy
is a story of Scottish hardhood and wild
adventure and is so'dramatical as to bring
in bold relief the noble character of this
man OF the hills
