The Rev. Father Sebastian Kneipp was born in Bavaria seventy-fve years ago. When as a young man he had just entered the priesthood his health began to fail, and he began careful study of the human body. He became convinced that the congestion of the blood in different parts of the body was the cause of most of the ills to which flesh is heir, and determined that the application of ice cold water was the best remedy for that. He underwent course of this treatment himself, and was soon restored to health He estab- lished himself in Woerishofen, Bavaria, and treated all who came to him free of charge. Recently his cure became the rage in France and Germany, and last year it is estimated that more than 30,000 persons were treated by him and his assistants. The emperor of Aus tria underwent the treatment twice. Besides the cold water treatment only the simplest kinds of remedies were used. Each patient was compelled to walk barefooted in the snow in winter and on the wet grass in summer Ner- vous affections were the diseases which yielded most readily to the treatment A Kniepp Verein was recently started in New York city

BEST BEEF
Is that Fattened During A Mime
sofa Winter.
From the Pioneer Press.

From the Pioneer Press.
Hon. G. D. Gilfllan was in st. Paul
from his Redwood county place, re-
newing associations about town and at
the capitol. Mr.. Gilfllan, as is we'll
known, is probably the largest shipper
of fat cattle in the State. His usual
average is about three hundred a
year, all of which are fitted for the
market in his own yards.
He has just sent consignment of
sixty-seven head of three-year-olds to
the Chicago market, which he has
every reason to believe will stop" the
market. They will weigh about 1.5OO
each, and in his estimation they are
about the finest lot of cattle he ever
put down in Chicago.
The remarkable fact in connection
with this lot is that, despite the sever
ity of the present winter, they have
made flesh faster than any lot he has
previously prepared for market. This
bears out his claim that the winters of
Minnesota are positive advantage
rather than detriment to the fatten-
ing of beef cattle. Mr.. Gilfillan has
held to this theory in season and out,
and thinks his views will soon come
to be generally recognized as sound.
The usual gain per month after the
winter feeding season begins in De-
cember, has been with him from sixty
to sixty-five pounds to the animal.
The present lot made the unprecedent-
ed gain of seventy-five pounds a
month from December to the time
they left the place for Chicago. This
showing is not to be laid to the credit
of the weather entirely, however. Mr..
Gilfillan was compelled by circum-
stances to pursue quite different line
of feeding from previous years, and is
disposed to ascribe the exceptional
gain in good part to this fact.
His system of fattening has been to
feed shock corn and make the steers
do their own husking and grinding.
He calculates that the expense saved
in labor more than balances the slight
~ better results to be obtained by
feeding ground feed. This winter he

A Mercantile Bill and Powers In
VestigatiOn.

Readers of The GAZETTE probably
want to know what became of the bill
introduced by the senator from this
county entitled "an act to regulate
mercantile agencies" AS may be
known the bill went to the committee
on corporations, where it has been ev-
or since it was introduced. Two weeks
ago last Friday public hearing was
given on the bill. A large number of
the wholesale jobbing men of st.
Paul and Minneapolis appeared be-
fore the committee to speak against
the measure. But before they said
word against the bill one of them
stated that before the opposition was
presented the wholesale jobbers want
ed to know what there could be said
in favor of the bill or what the motive
was of the man who introduced it.
"The man who introduced it, was
present, and mumbled out that he
had been nearly ruined by mercantile
agencies while in Iowa, and that he
thought his measure was a good one.
By this statement the Senator made
the bill personal matter, different
from what it may appear later on.
The wholesale jobbers did not have to
say much in reply. One of the mem
bers of the committee remarked that
if that was the only reason that could
be advanced the bill might as we'll be
hung up indefinitely postponed.
And it is in Chairman Morgan's Gus
tody waiting for about that action.
Labor Commissioner Powers is be-
ing investigated on the charge of not
enforcing the laws, of causing person
al work to be done at the expense of
the State, and the investigators alone
know what else. During the course
of the investigation there was some
evidence brought to the surface that
may be interesting to the people of
Redwood county. TWAS about Jones'

was unable to carry out the conven-
tional programme, owing to the fact
that there was sickness among his
hogs and he was compelled to stop
the custom Of allowing them to follow
the fattening steers. Herein comes a
good share Of the profit of the bust
ness, and rather than see SO much
feed 60 to waste he puts his stock on
q ration Of ground corn, oats and bar
ley.
Mr.. Gilfllan is greatly pleased with
the result. He found out that the
cattle ate more and did better than on
the old established diet. The only
argument against it is the increased
labor cost.
AS to the market for fat cattle the
coming year Mr.. Gilfillan thought the
signs we're favorable for higher prices.
If the proposed high tariff on wool
goes into effect he thinks it will stimu-
late the growing of wool and increase
the number Of sheep on the range,
which will tend to lessen the number
of cattle. Then he looks for some
considerable losses on the ranges this
spring, owing to the deep snow and
hard winter. Many cattle that pull
through the winter will be in such en-
feebled condition that the first grass
is likely to cause sickness and MANY
deaths.
Mr.. Gilfllan has had trouble of late
years to get enough young cattle OF
good beef breeds to keep his ranks
full. The dairy breeds will not do at
all for his line of business, and it is
both difficult and expensive to pick up
animals of the proper form at the St.
Paul stockyards. Some years ago he
purchased herd of registered short
horns and made business of scatter
ing the male progeny IN the country
about him. The returns are now be-
ginning to come in. This past year
he picked up over one hundred head
of young stock descendants of these
shorthorns. The buying of that herd
was one of the best investments he
ever made, he thinks.
Mr.. Gilfillan is dairyman only in
a small way, and, unlike the experts
at the State farm, has great faith in
the coordination" COW. He thinks a
farmer is putting all his eggs in one
basket when he runs to dairying ex-
clusively and breeds alone for dairy
stock.

WHY 1T DON'T PAY
The w. & St. p. ny Answers in the
Tax Cases.

The Winona q St. Peter Railroad
Co. has filed it's answer stating why
the company has not paid taxes on
about 5000 acres of land in this coun-
ty. The answer is lengthy one, be-
ing closely printed and covering four
pages of typewriting paper, regular
form of answer that the company
makes in other counties where suit has
been instituted to enforce payment of
the taxes. The answer is acknowl-
edged as true by W. P. Cosgrave, sup
erintendent of the system. As before
stated it is lengthy and embraces more
or less history with which the readers
of The GAZETTE are probably unac-
quainted.
The answer sets out that by an act
of May %, 1857, large quantity of
land was granted to the Transit Co.,
in consideration of that company
building line west from Winona to
the headwaters of the Big Stone Lake,
or thereabouts, and that by virtue of
the grant law the lands that the COM
pany should select "were and should
be exempt from all taxation until the
same should be sold and conveyed by
the said company" On this promise,
it is alleged, the grant was accepted.
On Aug. II, 1858, constitutional
amendment was adopted whereby the
State was allowed to issue $1,25O,OOO
in bonds to secure money to aid the
railroad companies then proposed in
this State. Of the amount raised
100000 was given to the Transit Co.,
that company pledging its lands and
properties for the repayment of the
amount. Prior to Jan. 1, 1860, the
Transit Co. defaulted, and on June
23d, 1860, the property Of that com
pany was sold at auction and bid in
by the State to satisfy the mortgage
then existing. On March 10, 1862,
the State sold the grant and property
to the Winona & St. Peter Railroad
Company, a corporation then just Or
