their tears, who gave their assistance
towards making the day a far more
important one than it has been made
in Redwood Falls on similar preced-
ing occasions.
How important grows the day. How
much deeper does it grow in the af-
fections of those citizens who were not
among the number to directly contri-
butte to the glory of the war and to
the countless thousands who have
sprung into boyhood, girlhood, man
hood and womanhood. How warm
and patriotic are their words, how ten
der are their feelings, how sincere
their promises, and when the last old
soldier has passed away the outbursts
of patriotic feeling last Saturday on
the part of this younger generation
was an assurance policy that the gray
es of bis comrades will be kept green
er, that the floral tributes will be more
lavish on each recurring day. Let the
pessimist grumble, let other secret
and civic societies phalanx their con-
tributions, yet the day will grow warm
or, the graves will be kept green in
patriotic mockery to these mutterings.
And what day for such an occas-
ion. First, the gentle kissing of Mo-
ther Earth by the mildest of showers;
then bright sunshine famed by cool
est breezes-all the gift of the
Author of Nature that the gray-haired
boys in blue might march with pleas
ure to the grounds where their COM
rades lay wrapt in eternal sleep.
Then in the afternoon with flags
futtering the old veterans marched to

dreds of children armed with flags

BANK AND TRUSTCO.
of the Citizens Bank
Likely to Be Relieved.

The lawyers had field day at New
Ulm last Friday and the Citizens
Bank insolvent, of this place, and the
Northern Trust Co. as assignee, in
solvent also, we're the bones that the
lawyers were picking over and Judge
Webber was passing on the merits of
their claims. The clashing arose over
a request of the insolvent Northern
Trust Co. to be relieved as assignee of
the insolvent Citizens Bank, an appli-
cation that the State as principal cred
itor of the bank, was strongly opposed
to.
The attorneys present we're J. H.
Bowers of this city, representing n. V.
r. Hunter, assignee of the bank, after
the Northern Trust Co., the first as
signee passed into the hands of an as
signee itself, Carman N. Smith, the
attorney ofthe Northern Trust Co.,
George B. Edgerton, assistant attorn-
ey general and B. H. Schrieber, who
represented a part of the stockholders
of the bank, as we'll as number of
the creditors.
Mr.. Edgerton, on part of the State,
was opposed to the release for the
reason that the State is a preferred
creditor of the bank and as such has
a right to participate in the first
assets of the Northern Trust Co.
to the full extent of the money
collected by that institution, belonging
to the Citizens Bank estate for the full
amount of the States claim, something
over $4,000. Mr.. Edgerton was of the
opinion that if the discharging of the
Trust Co. as assignee was accomplish
ed at that time it would jeopardize the
interests of the State to this extent,
and by the time the matter was fully
argued it was agreed that the Trust
Co. should not be released from it's
obligation, but should continue in
such until all claims we're liquidated
to an amount equal to the amount of
money it had on hand belonging to
the insolvent estate when the Trust
Co. assigned.
It appears that aside from paying
actual expenses the Trust Co. has been
paid $500 for administering the in
The Redwood gazette., 1897-06-03

S, lvent estate. It was decided by
Judge Webber that the institution
had been paid all that it was entitled
to receive for it's work. Carman N.
Smith put in bill for $l 600 for at
torneys fees against the bank estate.
Of this amount he had already receiv-
ed $3.50, and the court. as we'll as the
attorneys representing other interests
we're of the opinion that Mr.. Smith had
got out of the estate all that he was
entitled to. Judge Webber entered
an order allowing Mr.. Smith the $3.50
which he had already received. Judge
Bowers, who had done nearly all OF the
work in connection with the Citizens
Bank insolvency, and for which he has
not yet been paid, is to receive his
money out of accounts now being col
lected. These accounts are no small
matter, amounting in total collections
already to about ST, 500, $1,000 having
been collected by Judge Bowers just
the other day.
As near as can be learned the Trust
Co. collected between $1,000 and 49,
600, disbursing for expenses, such as
e. M. Howlett's salary, etc., attorneys
fees and it's own fees, about 5000.
This left about $1,000 in it's hands
when it passed into the hands of an
assignee. The State is a preferred
creditor and claims that the $1,000
should be turned over to it as soon as
the ASST gnee of the Trust Co. receives
that amount. This will probably be
done.
This news will be pleasant news to
the bondsmen of the Citizens Bank on
the bond given to the State, as be-
tween this amount and the amount
collected by Judge Bowers and Mr..
Hunter they will probably be relieved
from paying any part of the money in
the bank at the time of the insolvency,
which was then about $1,000, but
which has since been reduced to about
$4,000.

Then came the march back to the
city, the salute of thanks to the fire
department and the disbanding at the
hall.
AT 1:3O sharp in the afternoon the
old soldiers reformed and marched
to the school house, from which place
they acted as the escort to the hall to
about 25O school children, all carrying
flags. This procession, in order, in
cluded the old soldiers, the little pu-

they passed into the immense court
room.

BALDWIN HAS
FAITH TN ANDREB
Believes the AerOnaut
Has Found the
North Pole.
Puts Forth the Theory That
the Noted Explorer Is
Returning.
of the Confirma-
ton of the Report That the
Balloon Was Seen.

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, Sept. 1S.-
The Official Messenger confirms to-day
the announcement of yesterday that on
Septem Der II. at II A. NJ, the inhabitants
of the village of ANTI trowskoie, in the
district of Yeniseisk, Arctic Russia, saw
for ABOUT five minutes balloon, believed
10 be that OF Professor Andree.
The Messenger adds that it is supposed
in official circles the balloon is that of the
Arctic explorer mentioned.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 18.-Accord-
ing 10 E. B. Baldwin, a welI-known au-
thorty on polar expeditions, there are
many reasons for believing that Andree,
the Swedish aeronaut, is now on his return
trip from the polar regions and may soon
be expected ID be heard from.
Mr. Baldwin, who was meteorological TO
the Peary expedition of 1893-94, has only
lust returned to this city from Spitz ber-
gen, where he went in the hope OF wit
Messing Andree's departure, and with the
intention of accom- panying tue intrepid
Swedish scientist should either OF his
pied ged companions fail at the last min
ute Mr.. Baldwin, in an interview to-day
with reporter for the Associated Press,
said:
~ thoroughly believe that Andree has
achieved what skeptics have declared TO
be impossible. Many indications lead us
to believe that the balloon reported in
your dispatches OF yesterday of Arctic
Russia is that of Aadree. Ny reasons for
thinking that the balloon seen by the
peasants is Andree's are:
Z "First-Because. sufficient time has
elapsed since Andree left Danes Island,
on July IL LAST. TO make his contem plated
trip.
"Second-Because the weather in tho
Arctic regions has been unusually favora-
Bile.
''Third-Because the meteorological Sec
tons since Andree left have been keel ping
closer eyes on the wiEds that sweep the
land of ice, and they report that their
direction has been exceedingly ropitious
also that at this time they would probably
carry Andree toward Siberia rather than
toward Alaska or any other point in North
America.
"Fourth-Because Andree himself came
TO he conclus on that his return would
very likely De by way of Siberia.
cit may seem strange that he did not
descend and tell of his safety TO the out
side world. That IS explained by An
dree's previously announced inten-
ton to make his journey as contin-
uous as possible and 10 let the balloon
go as far as was practicable on the return
trip. lie undoubtedly would not descend,
unless com peueu 10 90 80, uutll ne
reached some point whence he could return
with the least possible delay to civilized
Europe and leave his airship to follow.
The inha bitants of Siberia have been
notified by the Russian Government to re-
port at once the appearance OF any bal
loon. If this balloon sailing over Arctic
Russia contains Andree and his compan-
IONS trindberg and Franckel, it will be
the first authentic tidings OF the party
which .as been received since carrier
pigeon brought a message to Lapland on
July % Andree had then passed the
eighty-second degree of latitude"

SPAIN PREPARING F0R WAR.
admiral de Ia camara Tells How
Easily American Seabodrd Cities
Gould Be DeStroYed.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 1S.-A special
to the World from London says: Ad-
miral de al Camara, naval attache OF the
Spanish Embassy, has gone to Glasgow
presumably to buy stores, possibly ships,
for the Spanish navy.
Spain is the last country in Europe
which wishes war with the United
States" he said. ''but if war be forced
upon US Spanlards will make good
fight.
81 am not allowed to express an opinion
OF the maritime strength CT foreign ma
ton. The United States, considering the
position they occupy in the nations of the
world, are not strong at sea. Many Of
their ships are not up to the requirements
OF modern warfare. The same may be
said OF ours.
We could certainly lay waste Ameri-
can seaboard cities just as was predicted
an English fleet would do if war broke
out between Great Britain and the United
States.
"As to the naval basis for Spain in the
West, beyond what Cuba and Costa Rica
affords, possibly some neutral power of
the South American continent might give
US chance to refit our ships and coal.
AS Tor our own coasts they're defended
by an extensive system of Notifications
and heavy guns, as at Cadiz, Valencia and
Barcelona, while the population could be
depended upon to volunteer for active SER
vice."

poets of war.

1t is now certain that the insurgents
