Much surprise has been expressed
that the grand jury should have failed
to indict Adam Knapp, of Melrose,
who stabbed Michael Zapp. Knapp
has been in Jail and was released to-
day. The grand jury heard the wit
ness, and it is understood that it re-
garded Zapp as the aggressor. There
is also story around the conrt room
that Zapp himself did not desire the
conviction of Knapp, but he was not
before the grand jury for the reason
that he is still unable to travel
Times.
That very grave crime was com
mitted which narrowly escaped being
murder, and that escape in no degree
chargeable to the motive or the desire
of the perpresrator, is a well known
fact. AS to who was the aggressor in
the trouble which led up to the crime
seems to be question for the petit,
not the grand jury. Such miscarriage
of Justice iu cases as important as
this reflects little credit upon Stearns
County Such instances have been too
common in this county for its good
name.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1897-12-16

To THE Sank Centre Herald we
would say that in 1894 the Republican
nominee for Congress in this district
had 10000 majority-in round num-
bers. In 1896 the Republican candi-
date received 700 majority. Cloud
Times.
Yes, that is what the HERALD called
attention to. In 1894 it abused the
Republican candidate like a pickpock-
ct, while in 1896 it was quite mild for
the Times. Now it has again opened
its mud batteries, and Judge Morris
may reasonably expect the majority OF
1894 round 10000.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1897-12-16

THE HERALD does not hesitate to
say, in the light of facts and figures
which it has gathered from a score of
sources that municipal operation of
water works and electric light plants
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory. Better and cheaper service is
had by individual operation.

The department of agriculture made
public the Official estimate of the wheat
crop for 1897 Monday. The crop is
estimated at 300, 600, 900 bushels, which
is somewhat larger than was anticipat-

prices at terminal points.

We claim to be somewhat familiar
with the political conditions in the
Sixth district and, taken as a whole.
We doubt if any congressman in any
district ever gave more general salts
faction to a Republican constituency
than has Congressman Morris. and
we feel just as certain of his renOmina-
tion and reelection as one can feel of
anything of a political nature. Every
thing taken into consideration, we are
willing to go on record as predicting
that Mr.. Morris will be renOminated
by reclamation and, if conditions re-
main as they are, elected by an in
creased majority over last fall. Mr..
Morris is clean, upright, capable
and loyal Republican, and as such
deserves aud will get a denomination
and election. River Star News.
Hon. A. N. Dare, editor of the Star
News is one of the brightest lights in
the political armament of the Sixth
Congressional district, and voices the
sentiment OF all who are best informed
in the district, Congressman Morris
is just now entering upon the first reg
ular session of his congressional term.
During the special session of last
summer he acquitted himself with
credit, and his district has occasion
to be thoroughly satisfied, In the dis
tribution of patronage of necessity he
has left some sore spots on the heads
of some of the candidates. There is
but one post Office in city or village
and in the multiplicity of candidates
there must be disappOintments.

THE ISSUE JOINED.

On Tuesday, December 18th, an i'm.
portant municipal election will be
held which involves interests of great
Importance to the Immediate and flu
ture welfare of this city. BY the resig
nations of Aldermen Scrivner and
Ward vacancies have been created in
both wards of the city, and the cleo
tion is called to fill those vacancies.
the purchase of the so-called brewery
property for the purpose of erecting
thereon pumping station for the city
water works and an electric light
plant. The sum proposed to be ex-
pended for the real-estate is $3.50,
What a complete plant thereon will
cost is matter of estimate. Conserve
tive figures place it at net less than
$4,000, and the cost of operating it at
not less than $40 per day. Without
entering into the question at length,
municipal ownership of plants of this
character are neither economical nor
satisfactory. They invariably cost
more for inferior service.
The candidates for Aldermen OPP
posed to this expenditure, nominated
by petition are: First Ward, John
McGibbon; Second Ward, William
Scherffius. For the expenditure the
nominees are: Ransom Buck in the
First Ward and George Ingram in the
Second.
While thisis the prime issue in the
election there are others which will re-
ceive attention in due time.

HOW TO FIND OUT,

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passag-
es. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity Of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the eXtraor-
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists price fifty cents and one dollar.
For sample bottle and pamphlet,
both sent free by mail, mention The

An interesting discovery from geo.
logical point Of view was recently made
by an explorer in the mountains of Wit
1ies Hoek, Natal. On the summit Of an
extinct volcano, on the edge of a lake
that occupies the crater, soundings re-
vealed layer of sand inclosing small
diamonds. 1t would be Gnteresting to
know whether these diamonds were
there accidentaIly-that is, as the re-
suit of washing operations carried on
by the natives-or whether this discov-
cry corresponds to an actual mine Of
diamonds, for the hills Of Witzies Hoek
are not situated in regions known to
be diamond bearing, On the last hypoth-
esis the presence of precious stones in
the crater Of volcano would doubtless
throw some light on the formation Of
the gems in nature Genie Civil.

CUNNING OF THE LEFT HAND

Some of the Advantages That Are Pos
sessed by the Ambidextrous.
Ambidextrous men and women, or
those who can use either right or left
hand with equal facility, are not near
ly so frequently met with as might at
first be supposed-in fact they are quite
rare. This double faculty is, however,
much more frequently met with among
butchers and sailors than in any other
walks Of life Left handed butchers are
numerous, as walk through any Of
our large market houses will quickly
demonstrate, but 1t is very interest
ing study to watch one Of them who
will cut, chop, saw and handle his
meat without once changing it from
one side to the other on the block or
changing his own position.
In view Of the many advantages de-
rived from the ability to use both hands
equally well many people have often
expressed surprise at the action Of edu-
oational authorities in insisting ON the
use Of only the right hand instead Of
trying to develop all equal skill in the
other. They all stick to the right hand
ed idea, however, and an old resident
Of Frankford, noted for his ambidex-
trousness, is still mourning the loss of
prize at school through the use Of his
left hand in writing, although he was
equally skillful as penman with his
right.
The benefits derived from the use of
both hands were excellently illustrated
in the experience Of two carpenters who
lived in Frankford some years ago.
Their names were Cross and Walton,
and the former was right handed, the
latter left handed. AS one was also
very tall and the other very short, they
made curious couple, but they always
worked together laying floors and put
ting up joiners' work in buildings.
They could take jobs Of this charao.
ter cheaper than any other, because
they could work from either end toward
each other 50 handily. Cross would
square floor board at one end and
Walton would scribe" and cut it off
to fit at the other end and then nail
down, working together from opposite
ends.
Left handed machinists are always
at disadvantage, as machinery is in
variably adapted to people who work
right handed, but the ambidextrous
man or woman is always at home in
whatever work is undertaken. -Phila-
delphia Record.
