into tho condition a the New Ulm bsnk,
Of which Nh. Lind Wa . Director. He
very soon learned that Mr.. Lind's bank
was in tho same boat with tho defunot St.
Paul concern, having loaned 70 tho Now
Ulm Roller Milling company fully 80
per cent Of ito capital stock. The bank
has not failed, however, because 1t has .
large number 81 wealthy stockholders
(among them" John Lin0 who are ready
and willing to submit to an assessment
to keep the bank ON its feet.
y
The incident may now be declared
closed, as Mr.. Lind modestly asserts
that he shall do no further explaining in
regard to his bank. Mr.. Kenyon will not
say anything more, because he has already
chucked beck through honest Johns
glass house all the rocka' that Mr.. Lind
threw his way. The publication Of the
facts do not seem to have done anything
harmful, because the depositors in the
Brown county bank have been made 20
cure Of their good money by hurrying
up the assessment which took place i'm
mediately following the publication Of
the facts. But Mr.. Lind will probably
be very cautious about swapping polit-
ical gun hereafter until he learns
whether or not it is loaded.
It would seem that Mr.. Eustis is los
ing patience with his Democratic SIAN
derers, as the Minneapolis Tribune is
responsible for the announcement that
the Republican candidate for Governor
proposes to cause proceedings for GRIM
inal libel to be instituted against the
editor Of the Wheaton Footprints.
The paragraph upon which the prose-
cution will be based was published in
The Footprints of last week, and 10 as
follows:
Candidate Eustis, when he spoke ct
the Omaha exposition, Minnesota day,
said: Minnesota would be q pretty
good state to live in If it wasn't for the
Swedes, and if am elected governor I
will have no use for them. don't in
tend to feed that kind Of CATTLE"
y
It seems very singular that any
man with common intelligence
should be imbecile enough to pub
ish so bald and transparent q
SANDER. Every honest country news
paper man in Minnesota Of every shade
Of political thought, sheuld leave the
footprints of his indignation upon the
anatomy of the Wheaton man, If only
for the moral credit and standing Of the
journalistic fraternity.
The regulation political assault upon
the grain inspection law of Minnesota
has been made. The farmers of the state
have been looking for it, and we should
have been disappointed if Mr.. Lind's
committee had ignored it this year. 1t
seems only necessary to say to the farm
ers of the state that this law was passed
by Republican legislature at their
earnest solicitation, and the wisdom of
its enactment is shown in The high esti-
mate placed upon the Minnesota in
spection" by grain men I'LL over the
country. Mr.. Eustis assures the farm
ers of the state that when he shall take
his seat as governor he will cause the
most careful and painstaking investiga-
ton to be made into the operation of
this bureau and that in case the least
unfairness or the shadow of corrupt
dealing, he will cause sweeping reforms
to be instituted. CosMo POLITE.

It is really sad to see q man Of Mr..
Lind's acknowledged intelligence stoop-
ing to the cheapest arts of the barroom
demagogue while striving to secure the
votes Of his fellow citizens for the high
est Office in their gift. Fortunately the
people of Minnesota are too we'll edu-
Gated on political questions to be caught
by the cheap and outworn claptraps Of
the merest political place hunters.

ChamberIain.s Cough Remedy.

This remedy is intended espe-
cially for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, Group and influenza. 1t has
become famous for its cures of these
diseases, over a large part of the
civilized world: The most flatter-
ing testimonials have been received
giving accounts of its good works;
of the aggravating and persistent
coughs it has cured; of severe colds
that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the danger
Gus attacks of Group it has cured,
often saving the life of the child.
The extensive use of it for whoop-
ing cough has shown that it robs
that disease of all dangerous conse-
quences. 1t is especially priced by
mothers for their children, as it
never fails to effect a speedy cure,
and because they have found that
there is the least danger in giving
it, as it contains nothing injurious.

price nowl Has the market reached
al dollar yet? It is very evident that
there is considerable oil for sale
around the double OF point, and
that is just the reason the dollar
price was not reached on the first
advance. A reaction or set back is
to be expected after continued adj
vance of 80 cents a barrel in less

birdi one dollar a barrel for oil

'YERYPEGULIARMISTAE
Mrs. Saml. Furman's Body
Sent to Erie, Pa.
Instead Of CambrIdge-GOt Mixed mp
With the Body OF an Old SfstersvilIe
NeighbOr.

. The news of a peculiar incident
regarding the shipment of Mrs.
Samuel Furman' S remains from this
city to Cambridge Springs, Pa, last
week, for burial, has just been re-
ceived here.
On the same train that conveyed
Mrs, Furman's remains, the body
of a man named Ellsworth, of Sis:
tersville, was shipped to Erie, Pa.
When the bodies arrived at Pitts
burg, owing to mistake of the ex-
press men, they got mixed UP, and
Elsworth's corpse was forwarded to
Cambridge Springs, while Mrs.
Furman's was started for Erie.
When the coffin arrived at Cam
bridge Springs, and was subse-
quently opened by the undertaken,
there was great surprise to find a
mans corpse instead OF woman S.
After considerable telegraphing
the matter was Strengthened out,
and the two bodies were taken to
their proper destinations and the
interments made.
A strange coincident regarding
the affair was related to a State
Journal man today, by sister of
Mrs. Furn1an. Ellsworth, whose
body was sent to Cambridge
Springs, by mistake, was the next
door neighbor of the Furmans
when they lived at Sistersville. The
two families were very intimate. -

Suit for Damages Against Torpedo
/ Company i'm the Buckeye Courts.
Lima, o., March Am echo of
the awful nitro glycerine explosion
at Cygnet the early part of Septem-
Der, 1897, which, in point of fatali-
ties and destruction of property,
has not been equalled in the history
of the Ohio and Indiana fields, came
up at Toledo last week in the
United States court in the form Of a
suit to recover damages by the fam
lily of one of the victims of the acct
cident. This is the first case to
reach the higher courts, and the
Ohio and Indiana Torpedo company
had the shooting of the we'll in
charge and against which all suits
for damages will be brought if the
test suits are favorable to the plain
tiffs, is making a stubborn defense
OF its side, and it will not give up
until the last legal resorts. have
been tried. An account OF the case
in the "Commel cial," of Toledo.
says:
"Several interesting cases have
been decided since the court con-
vened on February 8. Judge Ham
mond has been particularly inter
ested in the case of William D.
Campbell. administrator of the es-
tate of John Thompson, deceased,
against the Ohio and Indiana Tor
pedo company, in which the jury
rendered verdict for the plaintiff
of $4,000 damages.
I'm this case the administrator
sued the company to recover dam
ages for the family of John Thomp-
son, who was killed by the explos-
ion of nitro -glycerine while shooting
a we'll at Cygnet, O.
Attorneys for the plaintiff con-
tended that the case should be de-
cided under the English law, which
holds person handling high ex-
plosives liable for any accident that
may occur, whether it was through
All accident or otherwise,
"The court refused to take this
view of the matter and set the Eng.
| 81 law aside on the grounds that it
had been repudiated by the Ameri-
can courts.
In the opinion of the court the
person using the explosive was La
be only where the evidence shows
that he had not used due care and
diligencein handling it. However,
the jury in the case took different
view from the court, and returned a
verdict for the plaintiff.
Judge Hammonds holding in
this case IS of great Importance in
this vicinity on account of it being
an oil region, and the case will
probably be carried to the Supreme
court by the torpedo company. At
torneys for the company filed a mo,
ton Friday for a new trial."

THE MARKET.

vious attitude aud we will continue
to advocate higher market. There
is no need for being alarmed at
Yesterdays break in the Oil City
exchange. The real cause is as yet
unknown, but the field conditions
were never more favorable in the
past five years. fhe stocks must
be kept up by the wildcatter and at
the present time he is confronted IN
every direction by busters. To de-
pend on this source will mean a
further shrinkage in available stocks
and higher market must prevail
to induce the wildcatter to take the
long chances that are against him.

been largely promiscuous, but there
is strong combination that will
cause it to rally after the weaker
holders have been shaken ont.

AFTER EoEsr1no.

In the midst of group Of officers
who were striving to fray passage for
their generals the presence was noted
of the Emperor Francis Joseph, who
had remained to the end upon the field
of battle so hardly disputed. At this
moment Napoleon III rode up at a gal
lop to the battery to judge of the havoc
it was causing. On seeing the danger
his hapless adversary was running and
recognizing that return to the often
sive of the enemy was no longer to be
feared, he ordered his artillerymen to
cease their fire. This act of generosity
is beyond controversy. l have it from
the Prince Murat, who was an eyewit-
ness Of the incident. -fSouvenirs ct I'm

The Bradford Record, gives the
following account of the slump in
the price of oil on the Exchange.
"The certificate oil market opened
heavy this morning, with cash oil
offered at IS and was offered down
in IS minutes to sales of 5000 cash
oil at So1I cents. At 1890 a. m
I 900 cash oil sold at 90 cents.
During the next hour about $4,000
barrels of cash oil and April option
oil sold between 90 and SO cents.
AS credit balance prices were not
advanced at noon the certificate oil
market became weak again after IL
nj. and was offered down to sales
of 900 April option oil al 81 cents
at 1927.
At 1:44 5000 cash oil sold at S515
and at D. N. cash oil was offered
at IS cents. l
The market closed at 5 P. m. with
sale of 1000 cash oil at say, the
lowest price of the day.
The market will not decline be-
low the price of credit balance oil
and the prices will probably rule
closer together for some time.
The recent advance in the oil
market and the fact that the bulk
OF producers credit balance oil is
now SOLD is regulated by the price
of certificate oil in the oil exchange
has stimulated iEterest in the fuc-
tuations of the exchange market.
