AN IMPoRTANT,CAsE.
which Involves Large Values. and Will be
Fought to the end

| One OF the most important law suits
In the annals of Stearns county was
commenced this afternoon in the dis
trlct court, Judge Baxter presiding. 1t
is the action commenced by Lucas
Kells, assignee of N. p. Clarke & Co..
against the estate of the late Chas. f.
Powell.
The action was begun during the
lifetime of Mr.. Powell but o supple
mental complaint will make Special
Administrator Webster of the Powell
estate, the defendant in the suit The
original complaint was filed some
months ago and briefly alleges that
May 4, 1895, N. p. Clarke & Co., were
lnsolvent and made an assignment:
that April % preceding N. P. Clarke
transferred to G. F. Powell IL, 900, 600
feet OF pine logs in the Mississippi
river and its tributaries above the falls
OF St. Anthony for consideration of
w per thousand. Judgement is asked
Tor SlOo,OOO, the value of the logs, as
it is claimed that this sale constituted
a preference of Powell over the other
creditors and encouragement fraud
ulent and void. The sale is asked to
be set aside and plaintiff recover pos
session of the logs or their money
equivalent. The attorneys for the
plaintiff are Hale, Morgan & Mont
gomery, Minneapolis; Miner & Barto
OF Sank Centre and d. w. Bruckart
of ST. Cloud.
The answer, filed by Geo. H. Reyn-
Odds, attorney for the Powell estate, is
simply that the sale occurred in the
usual and ordinary course of business
and without knowledge on the part of
Powell that Clarke was insolvent and
believing him to be wealthy man and
able to pay all his just debts when due.
Defendant has purchased the logs with
this belief at a price of S6 per thou
sand and had paid $4,000 therefor,
and said Clarke in the usual and ord
mary course of business had conveyed
the logs to the said Powell
An amended complaint will be asked
to be put in by the plaintiffs attorneys
this afternoon, in which the general
charge of fraud on the part of Clarke
will be set up.
The case is one of great interest to
the numbering fraternity in this and
| adjoining states and it's outcome will
be watched for with eagerness. No
matter what the decision of the district
court, it will undoubtedly be appealed
| to the supreme court. u ournal-Pre

1t is learned today that official char
ges have been filed with the governor
and attorney general of the state re-
garding the conduct of his office by L.
J. Rocholl, superintendent of schools
of Stearns county. The exact nature
OF the charges are not obtainable, but
it is of course understood that the
trouble in the school at Avon is the
basis of the charges. 1t is claimed
that the attorney general has stated
that if the charges preferred can be
sustained, it will be sufficient reason
for the removal of Mr.. Rocholl from
his office. Any removed will necessar-
lily depend however on the charges being
quite fully sustained. Saturdays

Senator Keller introduced the fol
lowing bill:
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Minnesota.
Sec. Il. Hereafter all persons en-.
gagged in the retail sale of spiritual
and Intoxicating liquors shall keep a
transparent glass in the front door OF
their place of business which shall
have inscribed upon it in letters not
less than eight inches I'm height the
word saloon" and under said word,
the letters of similar size, the word
dangerous, and said letters shall
occupy a horizontal space not less
than two feet long. 1t shall be unlaw-
full for any person to place in front of
such letters, so as to obscure the pub
lie view, any screen or other device:
and from 6 O'Clock %. m. of every day
except Sundays, until the hour at
which, by law, saloons are required
to be closed, there shall be suspended
behind such letters red light equal
to at least forty candle power, and it
shall be unlawful to suspend any
screen or other device between said
red light and said letters.
Senator Keller insisted that he had
only the most serious intentions in in
Producing the bill; that it was done for
the benefit of mankind, and as an ear
nest OF his position the measure pro-
vided for the forfeiture of the saloon
keepers license for period of one
year, in case of violation of the law.
The bill came SO near passing the
senate that there was no fun in it. 1t
only lacked three votes of securing the
necessary two-thirds vote to proclaim
its passage, twenty-five voting for and
twenty-four voting against. And it
was thus killed, although Senator Kel-
Ter called for call of the senate, un-
fortunately too late, as the clerk had
begun calling the roll.

title of an illustrated article in The
Century for February. This Venice,

ice of palaces, but of farms and coun-
try inns; not only a bucolic home, but
a haunt of pleasure-seekers; Holland
farm from the sea; a country where the
streets are of water; an enormous net
work of canals and natural water
cources." This enchanted region is in
the Spreewald near Berlin, on the edge
OF well-traveled routes, but as yet re-
moved from the runways of the tourist.

is ruined and farmers are ploWlng up tnelr
fields. The damage is estimated at 9loo,

A grower at Milton has already reIuseu
an offer of cents, while his tobacco IS
standing in the field. This means that
packers will take the leaf in the bundle
and handle it in their warehouses, thus

few brands of nickel cigars that do not

success. One pound of caustic soda IS dis

Delavan Lake with the mixture, and the
result will be watched with interest by
