Lakes. H. M. Ball offered 1866 for a
clear title to the same, P. O. Clements
offered $25 for the banks equity in
the same, and G. E. Knopf was willing
to give 1858 for clear title. H. R.
Benham offered $500 for 40 acres of
the tract and it is probable that the
bids of Messrs. Clements and Benham
will be accepted, and the land divided.
The State has an interest in the whole
tract amounting to $50, together with
the interest and penalty on that
amount
A. B. Truesdell bid $40 for lots 9
and 10, block 10 of Hitchcock's addi-
ton to this city, and he was the only
bidder for the tract.
Alice A. Gray will probably secure
the equity on what was once the R. A.
Turrell homestead on Ramsey Heights,
she having bid $85 for the two tracts
comprising the homestead.
The notes we're bid in at a redicul-
ously low price in all cases but two.
A note of E. A. Pease for $25936 was
bid in by friend for $l51, and note
of John N. Jones for $342 was bid in
by John H. Bowers foo $3.50. These
we're the two highest amounts bid for
the notes, all the rest of those sold 60
ing at from S to 20 per cent. of their
face value. AS stated before only IL
notes we're bid on, and this leaves over
200 notes yet to be sold. The face
value of these notes will run over $780,
600. If $1,000 is realized on the whole
lot the assignee will feel satisfied.
A note against the trustees of the
Presbyterian church for $46952 was
bid in by William Smith, one of the
present trustees, for $40. The note
was signed years ago by only one of
the trustees, and was legacy of the
past that the present trustees did not
feel called upon to assume. Notes of
two farmers residing southwest of here
and having face value of about 500,
we're bid in by a party probably owing
them, for $15O. Some of the other
notes we're bid for in proportion.
The Knopf boys secured two school
orders, paying SO cents on the dollar
for them. 1t is certain that the school
orders were worth their face value
Only these two orders were bid on and
it is probable that the other six we're
in dispute.
There we're no bids offered for the
six shares of building and loan stock
issued to j. II. Laughren, for two
shares of stock in the Minnesota Val
ley Agricultural society, a check on
the Citizens Bank for sos, a certii-
cate of tax judgment sale and 8 land
contracts of an unknown value. Nor
we're there any bids on R. A. TurrelPs
interest in five shares of stock in the
building and loan association, 9Th
series, or similar amount Of stock in
the first series. Four judgments
against as many different parties we're
not bid upon.
The list of notes and other property
advertised for sale did not include the
collateral notes of the Citizens Bank
held by the Flour City, Northern Ex-
change and Germania banks, the first
of which offered IS for all of the as

DWINDLES DOWN.
LOW Bids Go Hard With Citizens
Bank Assets.

n. V. R. Hunter, as assignee OF the
insolvent Citizens Bank, opened bids
last Thursday morning for all of the
personal property remaining in his
hands belonging to the insolvent es-
tate. The bids we're opened under the
direction of his attorney, J. H. Bowers,
and the two were in New Ulm yester-
day having Judge Weber pass upon
the bids, either for approval or reject
ion.
The bidding was not as spirited as
it might have been. In fact, only IL
notes of the 242 in the hands of the
assignee we're bid for. While the face
value of these notes wonld run we'll
up into the thousands, endorsements,
ETC., would reduce their actual
amounts, and the bidders concluded
that of the whole IL, together with
some furniture, equities in mortgages,
etc., they were only worth little more
than $500. That is what the assignee
will realize in case Judge Weber con-
firmed the sale yesterday. In case
the Court rejected any of the bids the
amount will be less.
The list of personal property includ-
ing one long pine standing desk, one
cherry roll top desk, two Office stools,
a rocker, blotter bath and letter press,
and several chairs and other articles,
we're sold to w. R. Caswell, who bid
$3.50 for the whole list. There were
individual bids on the whole property,
but the highest of these bids added
together, made the bids for the articles
only $3.50, and Mr.. Caswell's bid
was declared the highest by Mr.. Hunt
or.
The section of land 80 long known
as the Turrell farm in Paxton was
knocked down to G. E. Knopf for ST.
1880. Mr.. Knopf, however, assumes
the prior lien of mortgage company
for S,7l4.92 and interest, mortgage
foreclosed not quite year ago. The
bank held a second mortgage on the
farm, just before the bank closed it's
doors to secure the payment of about
$4,000 in notes given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Turrell to the bank for money receiv-
ed 1t was estimated that the farm
was worth about $25, 900 at that time.
1t is thought that Mr.. Knopf secured
the farm for about SO cents on the
dollar, although there are some of the
opinion that he paid all that it was
worth, or more, on account of the farm
having been allowed to run down ma
terially in the past several years. E.
G.. Ranpey bid $4,000 for clear title
to the place, but he was not in it. In
case the Knopf bid was accepted yes
terday the assignee will have $252.17
back taxes to pay, conditioned by the
Knopf bid.
There were several bidders for 12O

TREE BOUNTY.

There are 61O acres of trees in Red
wood county, the owners of which will
receive bounty at the rate of about
$3.50 per acre in Jan. next. Under
the law providing for the tree bounty
the owner of trees is entitled to 81 SO

The 6lO acres are all originally
planted, are not more than eight feet

and skin diseases are frequently not skin
diseases at all All the lotions and bleaches
and creams and powders i'll the world won't
make good complexion if the digestion is
wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the
liver torpid, and the bowels constipated,
the skin will show it. No use trying to
treat the skin for such a condition. The
only way to relieve it is to cleanse the sys-
tenn and purify the blood AS long as the
heart is pumping impurities to every part
of the body, just so long these impurities
will show through the skin.
DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is good for the complexion because it
makes the whole body healthy-because it
clears and purifes the blood, makes the
digestion strong and clears out impurities
of all kinds. BY increasing the ability to
assimilate nutritious food, and by the in
fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches
the blood and so makes solid, healthy flesh.
1t fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink-
les and substitutes for sallowness a rosy,
healthy glow. There is no mystery about
it. 1t isn't a miracle. 1t is merely the re-
suit of a com Animation of rational, natural
common sense with expert medical knowl-
edge. 1t cures diseases of the lungs, liver,
stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply
because all these diseases spring from the
same cause "a disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood. Don't let preju-
dice and scepticis1n cheat you out of your
health. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will positively cure you, if suffering
from diseases named above.

SLAVE TRADE IN MOROCCO.
Government Officials Only Wink at
the Traffic.

Late accounts from Morocco show
that the Moors still carry on slave
trading at the very doors of Western
civilization, says the London Mail"
A powerful administrator of the Gharb
District named El-Ameen- Gold ell Da-
win, recently purchased three slaves,
one OF them being q handsome looking
woman of about y years, for which
this official paid E22. This slave buyer
is a persona gTata at the shereefian
court and makes presents to influential
court personages. At times these dis
tinguished courtiers find they possess
more slaves than they require. so they
send these wretched beings to the
public auction mart" in the capital,
and generally obtain good prices for
them.
Generally the slaves are taken from
negro families that have been brought
up from childhood in Morocco, and
dealers are continually bringing others
from the Soos provinces. At least two
dealers journey to Tangier itself twice
year bringing boys and girls, who
are sold privately to the rich Moors of
that city Moorish Government officials
do not stop this disgraceful traffic
mus. '''t sooS pioNiHces iiot prevent
the sale of slaves in the chief centers
of Moorish civilization.
Through the measures taken by the
late Sir John Drummond Hay in 1885.
while British Minister at Tangier, pub
lie sale OF slaves was forbidden in Tan
gier City, but public sales of slaves
are still allowed in every other place.
and even in Tangier. though greatly
lessened. sales are regularly effected
