INTERNATIONAL PROCEDURE.

France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Swift

burg have just signed at The Hague
the first international treaty on private
law, the treaty relating to civil pro-
cedure. All these nations use the Ro-
man law in some form. The Swedish
and Norwegian commissioners made
certain reservations which prevented
their signing the agreement. The
treaty is to be followed by others on
different portions of the law.

channel was two feet from the bottom
of the bridge, and it was stated that if
the gorge went out with the water at

citizens had chained the bridge to the

The Minnesota river worked itself

of that day, and mingling with the
Redwood arteries they were soon fore

was near the Minnesota river bridge,
when the water backed up half mile
across the road leading to the bridge
and around to the lake west of the
quarries. It was close to the bridge.
Across the river the bayou was over

was running over the stone breakwater.

6. 4. R. EN6AMP MENT
Citizens Subscribe Literally and the En-
campment will be Held on June
16, II and 18.

The 1897 encampment Of the South
western Division of the G.. A. R., De-
partment of Minnesota, will be held
at Redwood Falls some time in June,
the exact date to be fixed by John S.
Marsh Post of this city at a future
meeting-but probably on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, June 16,
II and Is.
This fact became a certainty last
week, when the dissension in the su-
perior officers of the G.. A. R., crystal
lized into some of them uniting with
the proper committee from the Board
of Trade, and making a canvass of the
city for funds to carry on the expenses
of the encampment. Business men
generally responded in an unusually
satisfactory manner, and before The
GAZETTE went to press last week
enough money was subscribed to war
rant The GAZETTE in stating that the
encampment was surely go. Since
that time a great deal more money
has been subscribed and the amount
has gone over the stated actual amount
necessary to hold the encampment.
The extra amount will be used towards
securing star attractions and making
the encampment the most successful
of it's kind ever held in Minnesota. It
is probable that the amount raised
will be increased by one or two private
parties who have more or less interest
in the encampment.
The tract around the falls of the
Redwood has been finally decided up
on as the place for holding the en-
campment. This picturesque and ro-
mantle tract will be cleaned for the oc-
casion and will be transformed into
campers delight 1t will extend from
the river south into the woods, all of
the woods as we'll as the unwooded
tract to be cleaned of all urderbrush
and rubbish and made as superb camp
ing grounds as hands can make it.

WATERS'S WREGKINGTOUR.
The Redwood and Minnesota Hiqher
Than They Have Been for
Many Years.
Bridges Washed From Their Piers
and Residents Driven From
Homes,

The largest ice gorge along the
Redwood River for many year was
the one extending west from the St.
Louis railroad bridge last Sunday.
The gorge commenced forming in the
main channel of the river as early
as Friday. Huge cakes of ice
commenced piling on top of each other
and forcing the lower cakes to the bot
tom of the stream. This formation
commenced about five rods west of
the brid dge-an ideal place for a for
nation on account of the narrowness
of the river and a thick growth Of
water willows on the east side of the
river. As soon as the first cakes were
properly wedged the ice commenced
to form back of them. Before Sunday
evening gorge of full quarter mile
in length had been formed, extending
from the first point back to about 200
feet west Of the North Redwood Roller
mills. The ice was wedged in all
sorts of shapes. Cakes 40 feet square
we're riding on less fortunate cakes
forced to the bottom. Other cakes
we're standing on end, we're butting
around among the willows attempting
to find an outlet, and the whole form
ed as pretty sea of ice as has ever
been formed on the Redwood river.
So complete was this gorge that the
water was driven from it's main chan
mel, and forced to make new channel
on its eastern shores. This new chan
mel first formed through the mill race,
and as it grew larger it extended SO as
to cover the road leading to the mill.
The willows above held the ice so that
the channel was kept perfectly clear,
and the water sped onward with re-
markable rapidity. Had the ice been
allowed to come with the water the st.
Louis trestle work would surely have
suffered. So swift was this current
that it plowed its way through the
approach to the Redwood river wagon
bridge, and Sunday afternoon this had

The camp will commence at the foot
of the hill near the northwest corner
of w. P. Dunnington's residence
property. and will spread over the
other hills and lowlands to the river.
Old soldiers who have visited the spot
claim that nothing better could have
been selected-that there are just
enough vacant spots for meetings and
just enough trees to make a genuine
camp ground.
The object of putting off the en-
campment until the middle of June,
or leaving the date indefinite is owing
to the uncertainty of the electric light
plant now proposed by Mr.. Rurmeis-
ter. He contended that he could not
have the plant ready by the first week
in June but that he could probably
have it ready by the middle of June
at least, he would rush work for that
date. Inasmuch as Mr.. Burmeister
has volunteered to light the entire
camping tract with electricity, the cit
izens merely to put up electric light
poles and run the wires, and inasmuch
as it is desirable to have the city light
ed by electricity during the encamp-
ment, those in charge of the dates
we're of the opinion that Mr.. Burmeis-
ter's proposition should be accepted.
The lighting of the large tract is no
small task, as it will probably include
arc lights on both sides of the river.
Some ingenious person has suggested
that circle of light around the camp,
with what is known as "hog's back"
as the north line, would make bril-
liant electrical effect.
As soon as the proper time arrives

placed in charge of the whole affair.
so far as arrangements are concerned,

and underbrush from the ground and

the different attractions are announced
he will designate their stations and
prepare for them accordingly.
As to the attractions but little is
known regarding them at the present
time. But they will be the very best
that money can secure. Probably the
greater portion of the officers of the
State encampment will be present and
speak on one'or more occasions during
the three days Of the meeting. Presi-
dent H. A. Baldwin of the Board of
Trade is quite certain that Captain
Jack Crawford, the poet scout, one of
the cleverest entertainers of the pres
ent day, will appear, Captain Jack
promised Mr.. Baldwin in St. Paul last
year that if he was given proper notice
he would arrange matters so as to be
in Redwood Falls. He was in Albert
Lea last week. It is probable that he
will appear at the court house, if he
comes, owing to his objection to ap-
pearing in the open air.
Old soldiers from all around Red
wood Falls will be present at the en-
campment. A good many of them
fought the battles with the Indians in
and around this city, were in the
stockade where now stands the frame
buildings on the southeast corner of
Second and Washington strests, and
these facts will add charm to their
visit. They will come to refresh their
memories of those early days and
they will be royalty welcomed. They
will come from Tracy, Marshall, Lam
berton, Springfield, Sleepy Eye, New
Ulm, Morton, Renville, Granite Falls
and all of the other towns around
here. Old soldiers here count on the
largest encampment ever held held
by the department.

is on, and against other evils, too.
We heartily commend the sup.
preston of boxing glove" con-
tests carried TO extremes" and
fighting duels with loaded toy pis-
tolls, with the usual jokes, etc, that
go with these sports. These OK
cite the evil propensities and lower
passions of the young. and tend to
develop spirit of sci conceit and
braggadooio which will show itself
in alter life. 1t is true that in re-
stricting these evils in the school
we are only fighting the effects Of
the greater public evils aud much
4ime and strength are spent in
vain.
But our children should be prop
erly instructed and guarded The
building of true character requires
both intellectual and moral culture
and our teachers deserve the hearty
