The Fort Ridgely monument COM
mission has been making improve
ments and additions to the monument
which stands on the site of the old fort
in the western part of Nicollet county.
Last week, under the supervision of
the secretary of the commission, sub
stantial and attractive wrought iron
fence four and one-half feet high was
placed around the monument and the
mound of earth on which the structure
stands was regarded and then gray
eled, SO as to prevent its washing down
or growing to weeds. A special tablet,
containing inscriptions directed by the
last Legislature, and half dozen addi-

was also placed On the monument.
THE names added we're Rev. S. D.

harmonious features.

The Laird-Norton Co. is making
extensive arrangements to improve
the company's yards in this city. The
lime house will be moved to the south
east corner of the company's yards,
and on the west end of the same will
be constructed new lumber shed, ex-
tending as far back as does the pres
ent she'd on the north side of the
yards. This shed will be divided in
to two sections, the first section being
for paper, and the second and largest
section being for shingles, thus keep
ing the latter in perfectly dry con-
dition. The center of the yard will
be used for lumber and will extend
from Washington avenue back to Mill
street, with driveways on either side.
Mr.. Isham, the local manager, states
that the business Of the company is
growing SO rapidly that this extensive
Improvement is warranted.

The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes can
not help feeling great qualification at
the thought that his children have in
heritcd from him no weakness nor ten
dency to disease. The healthy old man
is the man who has throughout his life
kept his digestion good and his blood
pure. Not one In a thousand does do
it. Germs 60 through the healthy
body without effect. Let them unce
find lodgment or let them find weak
spot, they will dovolop by the million
aud the blood will be full of them.
Instead of giving strength to the
tissues, 1t will force upon them in
nutritious matter, and the man will
lose flesh and tho more susceptible he
ia to disease. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the only medi-
cine that absolutely and infallibly
cures all blood diseases, and almost all
diseases are blood diseases. 1t isn't
medicine for some one particular So
called disease. 1t is medicine for the
whole body. 1t forces out all the germs
OF disease, and replaces impurities
with rich, red blood.

Assertion of Plaintiff That She and De-

Assertion of Plaintiff That She and De-
PENDANT Were Married Here.
New York, March %. Two suits
have been brought in the supreme
court against Frank W. Brown by an
actress, who says that she is his wife.
She is known on the stage as Madgs
Dean. and during the long run Of
Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown, " she
played the part OF Willie Grow, senti-
mental youth. The object of the first
of her legal actions is to have her mar
riage to Mr.. Brown annulled on the
ground that at the time it was con-
tracted be bad another wife living.
The other suit is to recover s25, 600
damages for his alleged deceit in
marrying her.
Mr.. Browns residence is in Washing
ton. ID. c., but he is said to be at the
present time in China, in the interest
Of a syndicate. He is a broker and
promoter, and is credited with being
wealthy. 1
Miss Dean alleges that she was
married to Mr.. Brown on August
10th, 1894, in Wilmington, Del. She
says he had fra udulently represented
himself as single, hut she has since
learned that he has another wife, Mrs.
Susan Dawson Brown, and that he is
the father of girl Of 90, who is living
with her mother in the national capi-
tai She asserts that she received
from him diamonds worth at lsaet
$40, 700 at the time of their marriage,
and during the two years they were
together he contributed about $4,000
to her support
Maurice Meyer, Mr.. Browns lawyer,
has served answers containing very
novel defence. Mr.. Brown asserts that
he was incompetent to enter into law
full marriage because of defect of in
telectual power and want of legal
competency on account of intoxica-
tion.' At the time of the marriage, be
says, he was suffering from indistinct-
ness of ideas and confusion of
thought" lie also alleges that Miss
Dean knew that he was already mar
ried, as she was we'll acquainted with
his lawful wife. He makes a general
denial that she has sustained any
eamagas to her peace of mind through
any fault of his.

EXPLOSION AT GLIB TOWN.
Five Buildings Owned by the DIT
Points Blown to Splinters.

Three Men Killed; Only the Fragments of
Their Remains Fouhd-Destroyed struct-
ures Had Been Used for Manufacturing
Dynamite and Atlas Powder.
Philadelphia. Pa, March ga ter
rifle explosion occurred this afternoon
at the works Of the du Pont Chemical
Co., located on the banks OF the Della
ware river at Gibbstown. N. j.
Three men, James Henderson and
Carl Wright sof Paulsboro, N. j., and
Thomas STILES of Asbury Park, were
blown to atoms. A gang of workmen,
who started to clear away the wreckage
Immediately after the explosion, was
able to find only fragments of the re.
mains of the unfortunate men.
The explosion occurred in the separ-
ating building, and that structure with
four other buildings surrounding it,
was blown to splinters. The destroyed
factory was devoted to the manufacture
of dynamite and Atlas powder, and be-
cause Of the dangerous character of the
explosives turned out was remote from
any habitation.
The shock of the explosion was
plainly felt at points 20 miles away.
Philadelphia, Pa, March 26. Three
men were blown TO fragments and 10
other persons were injured by the ex-
plosion Of nitro -glycerine at the
Repauno chemical works at Gibbstown,
". j.. to-day. The dead are: James
Hamilton. Charles Wright and j. 4.
Stiles. The following were injured !:
John Langford, William Gardiner. Will
liam Tussey. John Jefferson. Peter Fell
man, John Williams, Joseph Donnelly,
Charles Madeira, Lizzie McGinnis and
Emma Bates. The injuries were sus-
tanned mainly from the conclusion or
from broken glass and are not severe.
After the excitement had to some ex-
tent subsidized corps of men was put
to work among the ruins OF the bulld.
ings, to ascertain the extent of the dis
aster. After much search the mutt
lated remains Of the three victims were
gathered into two buckets. The fact
that Wright had been killed was
learned from ring on one of his
fingers. A pair of broad shoulders,
from which the head as we'll as the
lower part of the body had been torn,
were the means of identifying Stiles as
one of the dead.
The explosion was of such terrific
force that besides destroying the build
iugs it tore hole full 80 feet long and
30 feet wide in the ground upon which
they had stood.
Stiles was in the separating house
and Hamilton in the weighing house
when the explosion occurred. Wright's
duties kept him going from one to the
other of the buildings, and he may have
been in either. The cause of the ex-
nloaion ia heIipved IN have hepn exces-
sively high temperature in one of the
houses, quantities of the explosives
being in both at times.
The explosion Friday recalls that OF

just before pronouncing the bene.
diction Mr.. Morgan said that he did
not think the congregation responsible
for making the statements made, but
rather that they came from the mag
ination of the one who rennod them.
At the conclusion Of the service some
of those present went forward and
greeted MIR. Morgan. Sheriff Finn
entertained the minister at dinner.
A significant thing about the morn.
ing service was the fact that only two
OF the 20 members of the official board
we're present. They were E. 4. Deakyne

who do not usually attend the church,
but were attracted there perhaps by the
possibility of developments.
