President Allen of the Cuban league
of the United States has issued an adj
dress to the people asking for aid
and comfort by open expressions OF
sympathy for the brave and pluoky
Cubans. This is asked for in hopes
that the expressions will have some
influence over congress in order that
that body will take some steps to-
wards recognizing the insurgents. Ii
sympathy had any influence with that
august body, they would have done
something long ago. as there is not a
man or woman within the limits of
the United States but what have been
pouring out sympathy from the in
most regions of their heart ever since
the trouble begun for the Cuban, and
even the press have been doing their
utmost to have congress act. Edito-
rial after editorial and article after
article have been written on the war
all with the same bearing words of
The senate last week passed what
was known as the Lodge bill, which
makes it compulsory for all foreigners
over sixteen years of age to be able to
read and write before they are adj
missible to the United States, except
inhabitants of Cuba during the pres
ent Spanish Cuban warfare. This
will be vast improvement over our
present immigration laws, and if
strictly enforced will allow none but
the better class of citizens to enter the
United States.

It now seems to be the Republican
policy to introduce new tariff bill al
the present session in the place of the
Dingley bill introduced in the last
session. It will be Republican pro-
tective tariff bill and provides for suf-
ficient revenue to run the country. 1t
will be Republican protective tariff
bill and provides for sufficient reve-
nue. to run the country. If the SEN
ate refuses to pass the bill a special

Kindergarten Work in Public Schools.
Mrs. A. L. Hardy of St. Johnsbury,

scholarship, did much, during the years

porous career, made very interesting re-

That Mrs. Hardy strongly favors the in

seen from the following extracts taken
from her excellent report:
ITO people OF mature age nothing in the
line Of education seems more striKing
than the changes which have taken place
in primary instruction. Before 1870 hard.
ly a book had been published in this
country on the Kindergarten; now we can
scarcely avoid the subject in the literature
OF the day, or ignore its place in any sys-
ten of education.
Within our memory, almost any one
was considered competent TO teach chill
dren: now fifteen months OF conscientious
study are barely sufficient to prepare a
young woman to guide little child In his
cary education. The world is beginning
to realize that to properly train little
child requires more insight, more knovl-
edge amt more culture than it had even
drea med.
The occupations OF the kindergarten
NAV seem to the casual observer mere
amusements. but thew are based upon the
deepest PHILOSOPHY: nothing is done with
out some underlying Thought. Their aim
is to cultivate the heart, train the hand, to
mage the children JOYOUS. pure. trustful.

TERRITORIAL RESIDENTS,
They Met Friday Night and Listened to
Papers.

The Old Settlers Association met
at the city hall Friday'nigAt President
Shoemaker in the chair and sixteen
members present.
The following amendment to the
constitution was adopted
CAN persons who resided in the
territory of Minnesota prior to May
18th, 1858, and are resi-
dents of Mankato, and, all persons
who resided in BLUE Earth county
prior to May 18th, 1858, wherever
they may at present reside, shall be
eligible TO membership.
Papers were read, written by James
Shoemaker, M. B. Haynes and G. A.
Chapman. They related to the early
history of the county, and were in
teresting.
John Goodwin, I'll. P. Christensen
and John Diamond promised to write
papers to be read at the next meeting
John Diamond suggested that at
the next meeting the ladies be invit-
ed and that an old fashioned supper
be had. This brought out con-
siderable discussion, some thinking
that the ladies ought first to be
solicited to join the society and have
something to say themselves about
getting up the supper.
I'll. 2. Christensen moved that the
members be requested to bring their
wives at the next meeting, and this
carried.
On motion of M. B. Haynes, the
next meeting was called for the Sec
ond Thursday in January. 1897.
Thos. S. Hayes, of Vernon, was
taken in as new member.

In the suit of Azella f. Smith ct al.
VS.. George T. Barr, r. D. Hubbard
and George nj. Palmer, the attorneys
for the defendants submitted a
motion to dismiss the action, on the
ground that the court has no jurisdic-
tion for the reason that the action
was brought in Blue Earth county
while all of the real estate involved
is in other counties. Attorney T. j.
Knox, of Jackson, appeared for the
plaintiffs. The court now has the
motion under consideration.
Ferdinand Weigelt, who is charged
with obstructing public highway,
was given permission to go before the
grand jury on his own behalf, at the
request of his attorney, w. n. Plymat.
In granting the request, Judge
Severance said that this practice is
not followed in the other district
courts of the state, and he was OPP
posed to it because it makes the grand
jury too much of trial court. After
this term of court he would not allow
any one to go before the grand jury in
his own behalf, and would do away
with the practice entirely in this
court.
Elmer LiedlOff, who is out on bail on
the charge of robbery, has returned
to the city.

citizenship: Chas. Landquest, Hans
Nelson, John A. Carlson, Alfred

HE AND ANDREW OLSON PLEADS
r1ONDAY.
The Jury Gives Westin 5000 Damages
From George Ballard--Verdict For
the Defendant in the Boat CaSe--
The Ciausius--Fiero $4,000 SANDER
Case Now on Trial--Judge Severance
Announces a New Rule.

Two arraignments were made
in the district court Saturday
morning soon after court opened.
Louis Balser, Clarence Crook and
Andrew Olson were brought
into the court room, and Balser was
the first asked to stand up. County
Attorney Benedict read an Indictment
charging him with murder in the first
degree, committed on Nov. End. A.
E. Pau appeared as his attorney and
asked to be allowed the usual time to
enter a plea. The defendant was
given until Monday at 900 a. m. to
plead. Balser stood with his hands
crossed in front of him, holding his
hat while the Indictment was being
read. He did not say anything, his
attorney doing the talking.
Olson was next ordered to stand up
and an indictment was read charging
him with making an indecent assault
upon a young girl of this city on July
10th last, having taken indecent
liberties with her. W. n. Plymat APP
peared as Olson's attorney and re-
ceived until Monday morning to plead.
Olson is man of about so years.
Crook was not arraigned, and his
being brought over from the jail was
mistake, as the officers thought that
he was to have been arraigned. He
looked cheerful.
The three prisoners were taken
back to Jail.
The grand jury will not complete
it's work before sometime next week.
Several parties who had reason to be-
lieve that their cases would be looked
into, are said to be taking pleasure
trips for their health.

THE BRArlBEL ENGINE.
Engineer KOke Makes some Suggest
ions Regarding it.

Engineer Koke, of the pumping sta
Etion, has been reading all of the arti-
Giles that have appeared regarding the
Branded engine and has good under
standing of it's principle, after study
ing the drawings. He believes that
the engine has good deal of merit
and that it will prove Of much i'm
portance in the future, but
is skeptical as regards the
statement that Grant Brambel has
been offered 100000 cash for the
rights. He thinks that it is more
reasonable to believe that he has been
offered stock in company.
As regards the engine itself, MI.
Koke states that numerous men are
at work on inventions to accomplish
some such results as Mr.. Brambel is
striving for, and that the problem is
likely to be solved soon. He expects
that some Improvements will be made
on the Brambel engine. Even if that
engine should not develop more power
on the same amount of fuel, said he,
the fact that it's cost is SO much less
would of itself bring it forward.
Mr.. Koke believes that the engine
is operated on the same primo. pie that
water turbine wheel is propelled,
and that it is the force of the steam
from the income pipe that does the
work, and not the expansion after it
gets into the receiving chambers.
He says that the expansion in the
chambers is equal in all directions and
therefore equalizes itself, but could be
utilized if the chambers were differ
entity formed.
Engineers have long been at work,
said Mr.. Koke, to have the power OF
steam applied at the end of the lever,
and this is what the Bramble engine
is intended to accomplish.

THE GRAND JURY TAKES A PAR
TlAL REPORT.
The Westin- Ballard SANDER Suit Goes
to the Jury this AfternOon-McNeil
VS.. Peterson and Lien NeXt-An-
other SANDER Suit Coming on Soon
Prof. Campbell is Discharged, No
Indictment Having Been Found.

The grand jury came into the court
room at 1850 o'clock Saturda forenoonY
and presented three indictments and,
having further business, retired to
its room again. AS no arrangements
have been made, it cannot be learned
with certainty who the indictments
are against, but there is good reason
to believe that one of them is Balser.
Prof. A. A. Campbell, the Madison
Lake school teacher who was charged
with assault in the second degree
upon Justice Julius Reinsberg, of the
same village, was discharged, no in
dictment having been found against
him. His bail bond was also ex-
onerated.
Citizenship papers were granted to
Otis G. Lundberg and William j.
Evans.
The SANDER suit of Peter o. Westin
VS.. Geo. Ballard went to the jury at
about three o'clock this afternoon.
The evidence was all in yesterday
afternoon and the entire forenoon
was taken up by the arguments. The
charge was given by the court after
dinner.
The next case for trial will be that
of John Mcneil VS.. Peter G. Peterson
and Peter Lien. w. N. Plymat ap-
pears for the plaintiff and Hughes &
Hughes for Peterson, and S. j. Abbott,
of Delavan, for Lien. The plaintiff
owned a small steamer on a little
lake east of Amboy, and year ago
this fall someone shot holes into it
with rifle bullets, sinking it. 1t was
afterwards raised and the machinery
sold. Mr.. Mcneil will try to prove
and asks them to pay 5000 damages.
They deny doing the shooting or any
knowledge of the matter.
Another SANDER suit will come on
for trial in few days. 1t is that of
Ernest Clausius VS.. Charles N. Fiero
and Orphy Fiero. The plaintiffs
daughter, while going to school,
worked for her board for a widower
in the Fifth ward, and the complaint
charges that the defendants made re-
marks rejecting upon her conduct.
Her father sues for $4,000 damages.
Hughes & Hughes appear for the
plaintiff, and W. E. Young for the
defendant.
