Or1AHA RAILWAY PURCH Asses.
Nearly Thirty Acres Secured for
Filling naterial

The Omaha road has just made
some important purchases in West
Mankato, near the river bank, in or
der to secure supply of material fol-
the large amount of filing to be done
along the right of way. 1t was at
first intended to get the dirt from
near Minneopa Falls, but Engineer
Sawyer has been making an investi-
CATION nearer where the material
must be used, and has found excel
lent filling material along the river,
composed of sand and gravel. In or
der to possess this the road has
bought .hree adjoining tracts of land
covering this and leading from the
right of way. John Barnard's fifteen
acre tract, e. Barnard's seven acres
and six acres from the j. Ell. Davis
property is secured, all at cost of
S. 500. The most of the land purchas-
ed is worthless for any other pur-
pose, being sand bar, but some of the
John Barnard's land is good soil, and
has a house on it.
In speaking of the purchase today,
Mr. Noe said: 81 know that the
first thing that ,some people will say,
is that the road bought this land to
shut out any Other road along the
river bank. There are some people in
this city ready to start just such a
story, but there is nothing to it. The
land was bought for the one pur-
pose of getting good filling material
near by"
Engineer Sawyer, when seen by the
FREE PRESS, said: "The newly pur-
chased land has the finest kind of fl
ling material, and the steam shovel
will work in it easily. Winston Bros,
of Minneapolis, have the contract for
doing the grading through the city,
and will begin very soon, as they will
not have much time to lose under the
limit of time allowed them. A track
will be run over the right of way and
down to the river bank, and the
steam shovel will be used, and as the
filling progresses the track will be
raised"
The iron work for the bridge
across the Blue Earth river is on the
road, and is expected Ito arrive to-
night. The stone work is completed,
and everything is in readiness to pro-
coed with the completion of the
bridge.

WORTH TRYING.

MarstOn & Larson received circu-
lar letter from Minneapolis grain
merchants in which they offer sugges-
tiOns to remedy if not to prevent en-
tirely the shrinking of wheat about
the time it is ready to cut, which are
worth looking into. All know that
the hot, dry winds have much to do
with the quality of the grain: and
first to overcome the effects, drill
should be used in putting in the seed ;
it should be run from east to west,
and never from north to south. Why?
because the winds come from the
south, and if the rows run from north
to south the wind has free access
through the rows and uncovers the
roots which dry out; whereas if the
rows run from east to west this
would not occur. A few outside rows
would. form the wind break. This
seems logical and practical. Why
not try it?-Lake Crystal Unaon.

A LEGAL SUBJECT.
The Discretionary Power of Courts
Discussed by the S. S. Club.
Mr.. w. L. ComstoCk Reads an Able
and Interesting Paper.

Being off from it's regular night,
with many other things to attract the
attention of members the attendance
at the meeting of the Social Science
club last evening was not as large as
usual. Mr. Geo. II. Brewster was
elected a member to fill a vacancy
Mr.. w. l.. Comstock read the paper
of the evening on, "The Discretion
airy Power of COurts-Its use and
abuse" The paper covered the sub
ject in quite an exhaustive manner,
and showed wherein the courts should
| be allowed wide latitude in the
matter of discretion. While he be-
lieved that this discretionary power
sometimes led to abuses, yet in vast
majority of cases, he believed it
worked to the best interests of liti-
giants and society. He referred to the
short time in which justice'can be at
tanned in some or all of the countries
of the old world, and the length of
time it takes in this. In England, he
said, a case is often started, tried,
appealed, and reaches decision in
the court of final resort inside of two
months, whereas there is no country
in the civilized world where it takes
so long to bring man to trial, who
has committed crime against socie-
ty, as it does here. There is an over
mastering regard for precedent. Prop
er regard should be shown for preced-
ent, but it should be the guide board
to indicate the way and not serve as
the stopping place in the course of
the journey to justice. He thought
the codes of proce dure in courts ought
to be carefully revised. AS it is now
it is easy to get case in to court but
by means of the discretionary power
of the courts rendered the end uncer-
tain and technical. 1t is harder to
get out of court than in, whereas it
should be the reverse. A more strict
code of procedure with wide d1scre-
tionary power of the courts carefully
and iudici usly exercised, by judici-
airy carefully selected, would do away
with many of the evils which now con-
front US in judicial matters. He be-
lieved that judges should be appoint
ed instead of elected, and that bet
ter judiciary would result, and point
ed to the federal judiciary which he
said stood much higher and did bet
ter and more Thorough work than
that of the stats S. "Give u.s." he
said, "a capable judiciary appointed
by competent executives, to hold dur
good behavior, with a CT Gle clearly de-
flung the proper conditions under
which the litigant must come into
court, and then permitting the free
use of sound discretion in the trial
