In another column Of this issue Of
the LEADER viii be found a proposed
redemption law which will be intro
duced in the coming session Of the leg
islature 10y The Hon b. + Wilson, from
Canadian county. The LEADER pub.
fishes the same in full that its merits
may be understood, and its defects, II
any, pointed out
The proposition TO provide for the
right Of redemption from legal sales Of
real estate is CONNIE ndablc one, and
meets the concurrence Of every person
who iavors fuirness TO all people.
Nearly n not all the states in the
Union h.ve such law upon their
statute books, and it is but just that the
people Of Oklahoma should be on an
equality with those Of every well reg
ulated community in the nation. Tie
bill 10 be advanced by Mr., Wilson is
not only commendable in its design,
but its careful attention to details in
the procedure TO be adopted, and its
features which protect the rights and
equities Of every person who can have
au interest in the real estate involved
shows that its author must have taken
comprehensive view Of the legal ana
equitable rights Of both debtor and
creditor in framing the bill
The oil gives the judgment debtor
the right 10 redeem at any time after
the approval Of sale by the court
within a period OF twelve months. He
must pay the same rate Of interest
and costs TO do So This can be no in.
jury TO the judgment creditor, aud
might be Of untold advantage 10 the
debtor
II the judgment debtor fails to re-
deem within the time fixed by the law,
then his several creditors having iudg-
meut liens and subsequent mortgages
may redeem from the sale, and each
may redeem from the one prior to him
self, So that every creditor having a
lien upon the land is given the right
to protect himself
Remembering that Under the present
law subsequent liens are at the mercy
OF the prior lien the latter feature Of
this bin is certainly praiseworty; and
while the debtor IS given the frst right
TO redeem, his redemption is leces-
sarily a benefit 10 those holding SUBJ G.
quent liens, and he is given an oppor-
tunity 20 protect himself No honest
creditor can object TO the law, and nc

Stern Notes.

James Shoemaker states that he
does not remember a summer with sc
much rain and with such changes OF
temperature since 1858, when it rain
ed about all summer.
While rain in abundance has fallen
in and about Mankato, the vicinity
of Minnesota Lake has had very little
rain and up to the first of the week
the crops were suffering. Some far.
mers report no rain since spring
Farisault county has also had very
little rain.
The enormous evaporation yester
day and today dried the streets by af.
ternoon each day. The country roads
have been in excellent condition, con.
sidering the frequent rains.
Crops will soon suffer from excess OF
moisture. 1t has been years since
such state of things has existed.

Aid. Bradley called attention to the
large expense in repairing the city
hall, repapering, etc. There was too
much slight of hand" work In these
expenditures. The council should
authorize it before or after. instead of
expensive work being done without
authority.
Aid. Adams said that where repairs
were needed he had spoken to most of
the aldermen, who said it was all
right.
Aid. Bradley said that all these mat
tiers should come before the council
to authorize the committee to 60

was to be done in regard to the I'M

Bad WaShOuts.

Very heavy rainfall occurred in
this city Tuesday, and it was still
heavier north of here. Several bad
washouts occurred on the Omaha
track between LIE. Sueur and Belle
PLANE, and the entire repair force
was put to work there, leaving the
wrecked cars north of this city.
The Kansas City mail and express
train, due at 11:20 o'clock did
not get through until 5:45 this after
noon. The 4:10 a. m. through passen-
ger for the twin cities was held in
Mankato until 500 a. NJ, and about
thirty of the passengers breakfasted
at The 'Saulpaugh. The 700 a. m.
Minneapolis and Gilmore passenger
was held until 8:15 a. m. Neither of
these trains were able to reach the
twin cities until late in the afternoon.
The noon train with the twin city
papers got in at 600 p. m.
The temporary track around the
wrecked cars near the sheep sheds is
being used, and no delay is occasion
ed. One car has been gotten out, and
a good deal Of work has been done to
the others. Nothing more will be
done until the other washouts are
repaired.
The rain Tuesday caused a num-
Der Of small washOuts along the Can
non Valley road between Waterville
and Faribault. No trains moved at
this end of the road today, but it is
hoped to resume traffic tomorrow
morning. The trains between Red
Wing and Faribault ran today.
The l. & D. division of the Milwau-
kee suffered heavily, and one train
was abandoned at Minneapolis today.
The M. & st. L. lost a bridge be-
tween Waterville and Montgomery
and will send a train to Minneapolis
by way Of the G. & N. w. from Vase
ca to Kasota, and thence by the
Omaha to Minneapolis.
The damage on the Omaha consists
of the washing out of the end of the
bridge near Blakeley, and the end OF
a stone culvert at LeSueur, and
several minor washouts from LeSueuI
to two miles beyond Belle PLANE
Temporary repairs were made today
