AS usual, the courts play into the
hands of the mine operators instead
of the operatives in the eastern coal
fields. No wonder the working class
look with suspicion on such.-Anok0
Union.
From all the accounts We have seen
there has been nothing done by the
courts for the operators that would
net have been done for the miners
had there been occasion for it. Had
the operators harrassed the miners
by attempting to break up their gath
erings held elsewhere than on the
property of the operators, there has
been nothing to show that an injunc-
tion would have been granted to pre-
vent it. Had there not been social
istic and anarchistic leaders like
Debs and Sovereign mixing with mat
tiers that were not their personal con-
Germ, it is doubtful If there would
haye been much or any use for in
functions. They advised the inter-
ference with the business of the min e
operator and the forcible taking pos
session of his property to force men
to quit work, who preferred not to do
so, and would not had they not been
forced to so do. Further than this
having refused to work, they declined
to allow others to take their places,
1t is notable fact that as soon as
Debs and his associates deserted the
field and went to St. Louis, negotia-
tions at once took form for settle
ment of the coal strike, that have
every appearance of being carried to
successful end. And it is known
that the terms, while suitable to the
men, are not pleasing to Debs and
his clique. They are not half as
anxious for the welfare of the men as
they are for carrying out of their own
selfish ends.

DUFFEY-BILLlNGS.
A Pleasant Lawn Wedding In West
Mankato Last Evening.

A very enjoyable wedding occurred
in West Mankato last evening, in
which two we'll known young people
of that part of the city were Joined
for life. The happy couple was Mr..
Lester Duffey and Miss Minnie Pearl
Billings. The marriage occurred at
the home of the brides parents, Mr.,
and Mrs. Sanford Billings, and the
ceremony was performed on the lawn
by Rev. @. E. Line, the new pastor Of
the M. E. church. The lawn was
brilliantly lighted, and about three
hundred invited guests were present.
Following the ceremony was recep-
tion, and then ample refreshments
were served, and the evening was very
pleasantly spent by all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duffey took this morn
ing's train for the twin cities and
after two weeks trip will return
and take up their residence in West
Mapkato.
Mr.. Duffey is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John DuffeY and is successful young
farmer, having broken the record on
wheat this year on his Indian Lake
farm. He is young man of whom
only the best words are spoken. His
bride is the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Sanford Billings and has at
tended the Normal school for several
years. She is beautiful young lady,
with a sweet disposition and many &C.
complishments, and the groom is to
be congratulated upon having won so
excellent wife.
The best wishes of the many friends
of both bride and groom will 60 with
them through life.
A large number of handsome pres
ents were presented to the bride, the
following being the list, except few
names that were lost:

A LONG DROP.
Attorney Rutan's Baby Falls Fifteen
Feet and Lives.

At noon today, the two-year-o
baby boy of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Rutan
pushed against screen of second
story window at J. A. Lewis residence,
and the screen became unlocked and
baby fell out. The distance to the
ground was fifteen feet, and the little
one struck on it's head on brick
sidewalk. AS it went through the
window it cried, and Mrs. Lewis
looked around in time to see it's heels
disappearing. The baby was picked
up unconscious, and DR.. Andrews was
summoned. 1t was found that the
child had sustained no serious injury,
and that no bones were broken. 1t
was sleeping this afternoon. The out
come is very fortunate.

OIL CAKE A HOG CHOLERA PRE-.
TENTATIVE.

To the Editor
have noticed Of late numerous
remedies some "patent," some private,
warranted to cure hog cholera adver-
tised in the newspapers. I was glad
to see in your columns warning
from the pen OF some farmer against
too ready acceptance of these "cures. "
The fact of the matter is that good
authorities are agreed that the
cholera is largely due to indigestion
due to too heavy feeding of corn or
wheat by themselves. We have num-
bers of letters, Of which the following
is specimen:
My hogs begun dying with hog
cholera. | bought ton of oil meal
and commenced feeding it to the
hogs, and never was more surprised
in my life at the great benefit derived
from it. Will hereafter be buyer of
oil meal by the carload.
G. G. BIGLER,
Hartwick, Iowa.
The secret is in the laxative and
regulative properties of the oil meal.
Those who know say that with liberal
use of oil cake meal there is not only
no danger of cholera, but hogs will
digest thoroughly all they can pos
sibly eat of corn and heavy foods.
1t is constant source of wonder to
me that our Southern Minnesota
farmers should endure the losses they
have, with preventative and remedy.
home product, right at hand. And
not only is ground linseed cake good
for hog cholera, but it is food which
will help make the latest and best
hogs which ever went to market.

THERE is vastly more politics than
reason for much of the buster that is
being made over the action of the
capitol commission in adopting
Georgia marble for the exterior of the
new state house. Had it been pos
sible to come within the range of the
legislative appropriation, there is not
a man on the commission who would
not have jumped at the chance to use
Minnesota granite. But it was
clearly shown that this material could
not be used without creating a de-
ficiency of forty or fifty thousand dol
lars, and the commissioners did not
propose to violate their oaths of Of
flee and defy the law by any such an
unWarranted act wilfully performed.
There is no doubt, either, in the
mind of anyone, but that great
structure such as the state house
will be, would be much more impos-
ing in Minnesota granite than in any
other material produced anywhere,
and there is equal reason to feel that
building of this character and i'm
portance will present a much shand-
somer and more attractive appear
ance in marble (even though it comes
from Georgia. than in any other ma
terial that could have been selected
aside from our granite. The one un-
fortunate thing about the affair does
not lie with the act of the commits
sion, but rather with the failure of
the legislature to appropriate an ad-
ditional fifty thousand dollars, or else
have limited the expenditures of the
commission to a sum not exceeding
fifty thousand dollars in excess of the
appropriation. While the Kasota,
Kittle River and Mankato stone are
all splendid for building purposes, yet
the most enthusiastic advocate of
home products would hardly sub
scribe to their use in structure of
the architectural design and magni-
tude of the state house. Inc action
of the commission in no wise dis
counts the desirability and superior
ity of our granite for great buildings.
In fact the Investigation and earnest
consideration given the various ma
terials to be used in the construction
of the capitol building clearly proves
the contrary, while the magnificent
and noble Hennepin county court
house stands as living monument to
teach the present and future genera
tions that there is nothing superior to
Minnesota's granite. But it costs
money, and the commission didn't
have enough of it to do business with
The next best thing followed. Why
not accept the result, and quit

THE report is going the rounds OF
the press that John Lind has given it
out that he will not be guberna-
torial'candidate next year. A num-
Der of papers commenting upon this

that John was not a candidate last

LARSON COMPLAINED OF.
He Must Quit Drinking or Look fol-
Trouble.

County Attorney Hughes has re-
ceived several complaints of the &C
tions of DecOria farmer named Lar
son. On Tuesday a sister of Mrs. Lar
son and neighboring woman COM
planned that Larson had come home
the flight before and whipped his
children and raised Cain generally.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. Larson
both called on Mr.. Hughes. Mrs. Lar
son told her story, of how her hus-
band had come home drunk again
night before last and again pounded
the children and made things unpleas-
ant. She wanted something done to
restrain her husband. The latter
urged the county attorney not to do
anything but to give him another
chance. He said tnat he had gotten
hold of a bottle of alcohol and got to
feeling pretty good, but would not do
so again.
Mr.. Hughes warned Larson to let
drink alone and told him that if he
would stay sober and behave himself
at home no steps against him would
be taken. .... -A.- --...--
