rIrs. Diemel RearreSted.

This afternoon Drs. Diemel furnish
ed $500 bail, with P. L. Vranizan and
DR.. G. d. Snow as sureties. Wendt
furnished $500 bail with Mr.. Nc
Carthy and Reuben Hill as sureties.
Court Commissioner Evan Hughes
approved these bonds.
About four o'clock this afternoon,
Sheriff Bowen rearrested Mrs. Diemel
on a warrant signed by John G.. Ger
Itch, charging her with grand larceny
IN the second degree. 1t alleges that
she unlawfully took certain machinery
and grain week before last. The i'm
mediate cause of the serving of this
warrant was the fear on the part OF
the prosecution that Mrs. Diemel
was about to leave for Missouri to join
her husband.
Sheriff Bowen confirms the account
published last evening of the arrest
of Diemel and the scare of the train
hands, who thought that the posse
were uTdlu TOUUcIS. l. uS eng luC was
detached and run to the station
ahead and the alarm given. Mr..
Bowen states that Diemel resisted ar
rest, and that if he had not been ar
rested when he was he would pro-
bable have escaped from the state.
Before the sheriff left on his return
trip, affidavits were received from this
county by Dienel's attorney, on his
behalf. Mr.. Bowen believes that
Diemel will surely be brought back.
He expresses the opinion that Diemel
is bad man, and believes that it
will be shown that Mr.. Gerlich' s
statement Of the case is correct.
Diemel would make no statement.
Mr.. sBowen states that the snow
line extends clear to Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and that heavy rain fell south
of there yesterday.

practically four terms now, and four
terms are needed and would not cost
any more than three.
Mr.. Comstock said that if only three
terms were held, an extra one could
be had if necessary, as is done now
He thought the time more important
than the number, and urged the
bar to guard against having the terms
here conflict with those in the
adjoining districts.
Mr.. Pau said that the time of the
terms should be fixed to suit the local
bar. Lawyers make more money by
staying at home.
Mr.. Plymat moved that the COM
mittee be instructed to prepare bill
to have four terms of district court a
year in Mankato.
Mr.. Benedict moved as substitute
that the bill provide for three terms
of court, one to commence on the Sec
ond Tuesday in January, and one on
the first Tuesday in May, and one on
the third Tuesday in September
The substitute was adoped, and the
meeting adjourned.

OFFICE IN HANkATO.
Proper Place For State Dairy and
Food Inspectors.

We have on our desk a copy of the
sixth biennial report of the Mime
sofa state dairy and food commits
sioners. Accompanying it is map
showing the location of each of the
AS creameries, 81 skimming stations
and SO cheese factories in the state.
The great majority are in the three
southern tiers of counties, and Man
kato is very nearly in the midst of
them. The four railroads from this
city lead to all of these creameries.
There are very few north of ST. Paul.
A glance at the map shows that Man
kato is the proper location of an Of
fee for two or three inspectors of the
commission, whose time would be en-
tirely taken up with the performance
of their duties in this section.
We have heard it iDtimated that
were the proper effort made by some
of our leading citizens, the commits
sion might locate several of the in
spectors in Mankato. The dairy in
terests of this section are so great
that they require the constant pres
ence of inspectors, and st. Paul is too
far removed from the seat of their
operations. From this city inspectors
could reach any part of the dairy Sec
tion of southern Minnesota in a ride
of less than two or three hours. The
same reasoning applies to food inspec.
tion.
We hope that the proper effort will
be made, land believe that the commits
sion will see the reasonableness of the
request and grant it.

Philosophy and Christianity.

The wisest Of the heather had, by
Gods grace. attained to the sense tn at
life was subject to a Divine guidance.
Yet how dim was their vision of this
truth, how insecure their hold upon it,
in comparison with that which the
meanest Christian may attain. They
never definitely grasped the doctrine of
immortality. Their belief in a
personal Deity was confused with their
belief in Nature, which, in the language
of modern skeptic, 'acts with fearful
uniformity; stern as fate. absolute as
tyranny, merciless as death. too vast to
praise. too memorable to propitiate, it has
no ear for prayer, no heart for sympa-
thy. no arm to save How different the
soothing and tender certainty of the
Christians hope. for whom Christ has
brought life and Immortality to light.
The best thoughts Of ancient
philosophy were but views and aspects
of the truth; there was no center around
which they moved, 10 Divine life by
which they we're impelled; they seemed
to fit and vanish in uncertain success

other hand. glowed with steady and

TEACHING POINTS.

1 Paul's main purpose in going to Je-
rusalem was to establish a universal
church of which Jesus Christ was to be
the head, his life its inspiring spirit, his
ministry its work, and the men of all races
who shared his life its members.
2. His ministry was that of his Master,
with the same devotion, conservation,
self-sacrifice, sufferings, and triumphs.
3. His temptations were found in the
appeal to his desile for personal comfort
and safety, and to his fear of suffering
and death.
A. His triumph came from his posses
sion OF the love which was the dominant
principle in the life of Jesus
3. His carrying of gifts to the church
at Jerusalem was one of the means by
which he would avoid the danger that
threatened his work, as if he would over
come evil with good.
o. He did not disdain to use prudent
devices in his attempt to secure his work
from disaster. He trusted God to give
the right issue, but he worked for it by
planning prudent measures. He believed
in achieving success by an untiring use
of his resources.
Z. While he was a universal man in
his interests and purposes, he was still
Jew, loving his people, and worshippiEg
with them according TO the Law of Moses.
He had rejected the law as the supreme
guide of life, but he did not therefore re-
lect it altogether
