SELLER is RESPONSIBLE.

Common Law Principle Applied to
Ptomaines in Roast Pork.
It is an old principle of common law
that persons who sell goods for GER
tain purpose warrant them to be fit
for that purpose. In England they have
several acts Of parliament covering this
point, and these laws are usually en-
forced with great strictness. The chief
of these is "the sale of goods act" The
county judge of Newcastle-on-Tyne has
just had occasion to apply this act to
somewhat unusual facts. Last spring
some people who lunched at certain
restaurant ate of roast pork, which, as
the results showed, was affected with
ptomaines and thereby poisonous. All
who partook of the pork were taken
with violent pains in the stomach, fol-
lowed by diarrhoea and sickness. No
one died, but action was brought
against the proprietor, who did not
deny that the compliments had been
made sick, as charged. It became a
question of pure law whether the res
taurant keeper was liable to pay dam
ages. The judge held that as the meat
was sold for the purpose Of being eaten
one of the conditions of the contract
of sale was that the meat should be fit
to eat. 1t was immaterial whether or
not the servers knew that the meat was
unwholesome. They had contracted to
supply eatable meat and had failed to
SO supply it, and they were therefore
liable. The Judgment is to some extent
new departure, but it apparently only
applies recognized legal principles to
new facts. An appeal was taken, but
the lawyers generally appear to think
that the judges decision will be upheld
by the higher court. The case is q
wholesome reminder to dealers in food
that besides their criminal liability;
which by reason OF technicalities can
often be successfully evaded, there Is a
civil liability to pay damages. The OBJ
ject of the law should be and is to check
the sale of unwholesome Ind doubtful
food. The knowledge that such sales
may prove expensive to the vendors will
60 far toward enforcing care.

for several days prosecuting Red

liquor to a minor. Mr.. Clague says
that the political campaign has moi
opened in his end of the county, but
he was not averse to telling the Dis

NORTH REDWOOD

Joe Keefe went to st. Paul Monday
with some stock.
Mrs. J. Hulburg has been very sick
the past few days.
Mr. Straight was in town last week
soliciting insurance for his company.
The people of this burg are pleased to
hear that DR.. Finn is on the road to
recovery.
Messrs. Homer, Bottomly, Birum
and Keefe attended the dance at Nor
ton last Friday evening.
Quite crowd enjoyed themselves in
hop at Shoemaker's hall last Tuesday
evening. All report good time.
Tom Haskins passed through here
Friday on his way to Jasper. He was
talking up stone business with Fred
Homer, while here.
A. J. Tradewell was in Delhi Sunday.
His brother Tom of that place received
some severe injuries by falling down
while carrying sack of wheat few
daysago.
The telephone company have been
putting in the telephones at the differ
ent places in town the past week, and
we will soon be able to say "Hello" to
several towns.
Some of the kids were trying to en-
joy themselves on Halloween by
running off with several buggies and
hiding wagons, filling up some of the
chimneys, etc. Well, this may be al
right boys, but you must remember
that it is not very pleasant for people
to be ''smoked out" and have to stand
around and freeze on cold morning
just because their stoves won't draw.
County Supt. Race visited our school
here last week and he was very much
impressed by the commendable way in
which Prof. Bottomly was conducting
his school. Prof. Bottomly seems to be
giving general satisfaction here, and
although he has large school he has
the scholars very much interested in
their work and is doing all in his pow
er to further the interests of the school
and make this one of the best in the
county.

DROVE BROTHER TO SUICIDE

Forced Either to Marry an Heiress
or Take His Own Life.
A unique case growing out of the
suicide of Capt. George Lowenthal has
just terminated in the law courts at
Vienna. It appeared from the evidence
in the case that in 1895 Emil Lowen-
thai, a brother of the captain, agreed
to furnish money to the latter, who was
q roue and gambler, on condition that
he either marry the daughter of mill
lionaire or commit suicide after the ex-
piration Of two years from the time Of
entering upon the agreement.
Emil then heavily insured Georges
life in various companies and had in
serted in the policies clause declar-
ing that they would not be affected
after two years by the manner in which
the insured should meet his death.
George failed in his attempts to in
veigle a rich mans daughter to marry
him, and upon the expiration of the
two years he kept the other part of
his agreement and blew out his brains
with revolver.
Then Emil applied for the payment
of the policies on his brothers life, but
the companies had learned of the agree
ment he had made with George and re-
fused to pay their losses. Later they
caused his arrest on the charge of hav-
ing fraudulently secured the reversion
of some of the policies.
The trial, which has just concluded,
resulted in, the conviction of the ac-
cused, and he was sentenced to two
years imprisonment. It appears that
another brother and also a sister had
specialized by means of insurance on
Georges suicide. Emil was often heard
to say that he knew that George could
not induce wealthy girl to wed him;
that unless his brother shot himself he
would prove himself scoundrel.

. Ohio is very close. Both sides claim
the election. The best figures obtain

Iowa is Republican by small ma

terpiece of fiction and sociology, has
been barred out of the girls high school

is impure. An animated discussion pre-
coded the decision of the COMMITTEES
Of the board of education. William D.
Rorer, principal of the school, presented
to the committee q list of text books

looked over the titles, and when he
spied lies Miserables" in French he in
stantly objected, declaring that he re-
garded the work as decidedly improp-
er to put in the hands of high school

Der of the committee, had read the
work, and regarded it as perfectly

added, "to put in the hands of pupils,
even If they are French students"
Mrs. Mary E. Mumford, the only
woman member Of the committee, was
the only defender of Hugo's immortal
work, but her solitary protest was
speedily overruled. She said it had
doubtless been recommended as be-
ing typical of the highest classical
French literature.
Chairman Morton thus expressed his
views:
my objection is to the tone of the
book. It deals, as anyone who has read
it knows, with the grisettes of France.
That in itself is condemnatory.

public schools have sacred trust and
we cannot be too cautious in setting be-
fore the young girls and boys that
which detracts from their ideals of vir-
tue and purity. Their parents hold US
responsible, and we owe a duty to them
and to the girls. If the book is in a
library, that is different thing, for
the child's parents are supposed to
keep an eye over what she reads; but
to require pupils to read tainted book
is wrong. would object to any classic,
even some of Shakespeare's works, if
they are immoral"

DISTRICT COURT.

The November term of the district
court commenced here yesterday, with
Judge Webber presiding. Court was
called to order at 10 o'clock and short
ly afterwards Judge Webber charged
the grand jury. The charge was the
usual routine one, deliberately detail
ing the duties of the jury, and it's rights
of investigation into alleged offenses
against the laws of the State. After
the charge the jury was assigned a
bailiff and it then retired to the grand
jury room, where after selecting a
clerk it adjourned until after the din
ner hour.
AS soon as the grand jury was dis
posed of Judge Weber commenced a
preliminary call of the calendar. A
good many of the law firms of this
section of the State we're represented
in Court during this time. OF the To-
cal attorneys there we're present Bald
win & Patterson, J. H. Bowers, A. O.
Dolliff, E. E. Harriott, and from Lam
'berton appeared County Attorney
Frank Clague and A. H. Mohler.

Burjlehaus of Minneapolis, A. Freder
ickson of Springfield, Jos. A. Eckstein
of New Ulm, Fred. W. Reed of St
Paul, Charles w. Main of Tracy.
Seward & Burchard of Marshall, are
all represented on the calendar.
The first seven cases on the calendar
are those of the answer of the Winona
& St. Peter Railroad Co. in the matter
of the proceedings to collect real es
tate taxes delinquent for the years
1889 to 1895 inclusive, and they were
continued over as usual. The case OF
Jane Parsons VS.. J. L. Torrens, an &C.
ton for damages, was set for trial
This case was continued over from
last term, after part of the evidence
of the prosecution was introduced
The case of Christine Sample vs.. H
G. Ackmann ct al, another damage
case, is set for trial, as is also the case
of E. D. French vs.. The GAZETTE, fol
alleged libel.
1t is probable that the criminal cal
endar will be moved about Monday
or as soon thereafter as the grand jury
adjourns.

BOWLING ON THE GREEN.
An Ancient British Pastime Which
Has Invaded America.

An Ancient british PaSt1me "h1Cn
Has Invaded America
at Some of the big athletic clubs whose
athletic committees are always on the
lookout for new games have recently
taken up ''bowling on the green" a
very ancient British pastime. In it's
present form it halls from Canada,
where it has been played in quiet
way for some time.
"A set of balls for green bowling con-
sists of one round yellow ball called
the "jack" and eight bowls, which are
egg-shaped balls of lignum vitae, per-
haps six or eight inches long, with a
small plate of metal let in at one end
and larger one at the other, so that
the bowl can always be rolled in q
curve, which is in or out according to
the position of the hand and that of the
larger strip of metal.
In the American game two or four
can bowl. One throws the jack away
on the turf and all bowl at it. When
a ball lies in the way the bowler at
tempts the curve. The player whose
bowl is nearest the jack when all have
bowled wins one point, and it is then
his privilege to throw the jack as far
as he likes in any direction for new
bowl. In thisway the game can wander
over an entire golf course and furnish
lots of exercise. IF four players are
in the game they can choose sides OF
not, as they like.
The game is substantially like the
old English game of bowling, which was
declared unlawful under Henry VIII
The law remained dead letter fol
many years and was finally repealed sc
lately as 1s45. In the English game the
playing is restricted to a green about
60 feet square, SO that the players wan
der back and forth, and skip or cap
tain is named on each side.
