The first was the one of the R. D..
Cone Co. vs.. Geo. A. Scott and the
second was the one of Carl 81. Klemer
ct al VS.. John G.. Cheshire, The two
cases will probably be placed on the
calendar for the April term, provid-
ing no settlement is reached. The
case of NJ. l.. McGee vs. John Bethany
was dismissed on motion of the plain
tiff, but the case of the Mccormick
Machine Co. against the same defen-
dant will be bitterly fought before a
jury, owing to the fact that two ma
chine companies are interested.
The replevin case of the Investment
Guarantee Trust Co. VS.. John Steven
son was stricken from the calendar,
but the conversion action, in which
the same parties are interested, is yet
to be tried by a jury, as are also the
cases of Anton Blatz VS.. Sane Olson
and John B. Wagner ct al against the
same defendant. Henry Schleuder
settled his case against F. w. Mans
feldt, the latter paying the former
$500 as first payment. The diyorce
case of Henrietta Schroeder vs.. Carl
Schroeder, on the ground of cruel and
inhuman treatment, was continued
per request of the plaintiff. The case
of Howell & Co. VS.. VIM. Gumto is
yet to be tried by jury, while the case
of Andrew LELAND, as receiver, VS..
VIM. Cooler ct al will probably be
settled. The cases of Adolph
Schroeder vs.. W. A. Wagner & Co.
and S. M. Laberteaux vs.. D. A. Stuart
we're dismissed, and the case of
Stephen Hanson VS.. E. A. Pease is
set for trial by jury.
In the case of the Milwaukee Har-
vester Co. vs.. G.. w. Frost ct al q mo-
tidn was made to dismiss on the plead
ings, but Judge Webber refused the
motion, and decided for the defen-
dants by reversing the order of the
Justices court. The case of E. E.
Harriott vs.. G. L. Holmes, in which
the commission of O. L.. Dornberg is
involved, will be tried by jury.

II. THEIR1N6 INJURED.

II. Theiring, one of the best known
citizens of Redwood Falls, and for
many years in the employ of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad, was
seriously injured in an accident in the
Sleepy Eye round house about two
O'Clock last Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Theiring was engaged in put
ting sand into the cylinder of the en-
gine for the purpose of sanding the
tracks in case of wet or slippery
rails. Before the sand is placed
in the cylinder it is heated to burn
ing degree, about a ton at time, and
then it is hoisted over to the engine
cylinder for the purpose of running in
to the same. The cone shaped hoist
became clogged, and Mr.. Theiring
was kneeling under it with the view of
taking out the large stones that were
clogging the machine. While doing
so the cone gave way and the ton of
heated sand fell on Mr.. Theiring, bury
ing him completely. A tramp hap
pened in to warm himself a minute
before and he dug the victim out of
the sand, only to find that he was ter
riically burned about the side of the
head and the face and hands. Mr..
Theiring was placed under the doctors
care Immediately and brought to his
home in this city on Monday morn
ing, when he became the patient of
DR.. Pease.
On Tuesday his eyes were closed,
but it is not believed that be will lose
the sight of either eye. He is recov-
ering as rapidly as can be expected.

or board, having tendency to effect
the interests of this section of Mime
sofa, was made last Saturday. when
w. P. Barlow of st. Paul, a prominent
attorney of that city, and right-of-way
attorney for the Omaha railroad, ap-
peared at the Office of Register of

articles of incorporation of the Mime
sofa & Iowa Railroad company.
According to these articles the COM
pany is to have its principal place of
business at Sanborn, in the southern
portion of Redwood county, and the
object is to construct line of railroad
from point of connection with the
Winona & st. Peter railroad company
at or near Sanborn, and running in a
southeasertly direction through the
counties of Brown, Cottonwood, Mar
tin and Watonwan, passing out of the
State at the line of Range 81, or in
Lake Belt township, Martin county.
The capital stock of the new COM
pany is only $4,000, but the indebted
ness is limited to 100000, and the
concern commences business on Nov.
25th next. The incorporators are J.
M. Whitcome, and j. B. Redfield of
Chicago. Edward G. Carter of Evan
ston, ILL.,, and W. A. Scott and John
G. Stuart of St. Paul, MINI. The
incorporators constitute the first board
of directors, but the officers are not So
lected by the hoard, they being Mar
vim Hughitt president, NJ. M. Kirk
man vice president and treasurer, J.
B. Redield secretary and Edward S.
Beaman assistant secretary. These
incorporators and officers are all lead
ing strikers of the Northwestern sys-
tenn, Marvin Hughitt, the President
of the concern, is president of the
Northwestern and Omaha system,
chairman Of the Board of Directors of
the Union Pacific Railway, and a di-.
rector in the Lake Shore, all powerful
Vanderbilt lines. Mr.. Kirkman is Q
second vice president of the North
western system, and q heavy stock
holder in the remainder of the Van
derbilt railroads. j. B. Redfeld is
the auditor of expenditures of the
Northwestern railroad, while Edward
S. Beaman. the assistant secretary, is
the company's agent at Sanborn and 9
son-in-law of Jerry Rollins of this ci-

IN THE CIVIL LINE.
A Few Cases Tried and Several
Cases Settled and Dismissed.

The civil calendar has occupied the
attention of the bench and bar at the
court house, almost entirely, ever
since court convened last Wednesday.
On the preliminary call of the calen-
dar it was announced that the cases of
the Flour City National Bank VS.. F..
L. Warner and W. P. Dunnington, as
individuals, both actions to recover on
promissory notes that had been passed
up from the insolvent Citizens Bark,
had been settled. In the case of Kate
Geraldson VS.. the stockholders of the
Citizens Bank judgment was entered
against all OF the stockholders of the
bank who have failed to pay in their
share of the assessment necessary to
buy up the claims, which were after
wards assigned to Mr.. Bell of Winona,
as agent for the willing stockholders.
The case of A. F. Preston VS.. NJ. l..
McGee was announced as being set
tied, and in the case of the McCor-
mick Harvesting Machine Co. vs.. VIM.
L. Towle judgment was entered for
$50 bushels of wheat, the amount
named in the complaint.
It will be remembered that Ellen F.
Phillips, about year ago, attempted
to foreclose a mortgage on the farm
of Patrick Curtin in Westline, and
that just before the sale was about to
take place an action was commenced
to set aside the mortgage on the
ground of illegality. The case will be
tried in chambers, without jury
The case of Henry G. Curtiss vs.. T.
j. Treadwell was settled and dis
missed, and the appeal of Martin
Lohrenz from the decision OF the
Justices court requiring him to return
q watch, or it's value to one VIM
Doian, will also be tried without q
jury. On Monday morning the jury
returned verdict of no cause of &C.
ton in the case of VIM. Deering & Co.
VS.. Agnes Sloan.
The two cases of Herman Werder
vs.. Park Worden and Joseph Tyson,
an action to annul the deed given by
Worden to Tyson for tract of land
in Paxton, snd also to compel Wor-
den to deed the property to Werder,
and Julius Hopp ct al vs.. Wilhelm
Witt ct al are to be tried bv the court.
In the case of Herman Schmahl vs..
Sylvester Davis the plaintiff was given
judgment for the full amount sued
for in the complaint.
Owing to the fact that Attorney F
S. Brown did not put in an appear
auce at the proper time two of bis

leak had sprung in that great embank-
ment which saves Holland ffom the devas-
tations of the hungry sea- It was early in
the night, and no one was near at hand
The leak was small when he found it, but
he knew that the action of the water would
enlarge it long before morning, and wash
away the entire embankmeut, irundate the
country and destroy his own and thou
sands OF homes. So he bravely put his
hnger IN the crevasse, and kept it there all
the long night through, until help came and
the opening was properly stopped. He had
saved his country.
Equally Insignificant is the entrance of
disease into the human system. The be-
ginnings of the most terrible ailments are
so small they can be easily stopped at the
start Your health is dixie which keeps
out and stops the inroads of dangerous aud
devastating disease. Whenever it breaks
down, no matter how slightly, there is an
opening for disease to enter. If the open.
ing is not watched, it will grow larger,
until the sweep of disease overwhelms
you, and health and perhaps life is de-
stroyed forever.
Fortify your health with DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and you can
defy ill-health. You can make your health
so strong a bulwark that disease cannot
fnd crevice through which it can creep.
Taken in time, DR.. Pierce's remedies pre-
vent greater and more serious troubles.
Hundreds write daily to DR.. Pierce, telling
him how these remedies have saved them
and made them strong.
Constipation causes and aggravates many
serious diseases. It is speedily cured by

WILL ACCEPT MEDIATION.
Spain willing to Listen to PROPOSE
ton for PacifyinG Cuba.

ST. LOUIS, March Nv. B. S., the
Washington correspondent of the Globe
Democrat, says: Mediation never was so
near as it is now. The acceptance of the
good offices of the United States is a little
more than possible. Until recently it has
seemed altogether improbable. Spain has
hitherto rejected the idea almost with
scorn. 1t is not treating mediation in that
temper now. Minister Woodford has been
talking mediation at Madrid at all oppor-
tunities. He notes a change in the attitude.
1t may not be real. Ali that Spanish diplo-
macy does is open to suspicion of insinceri-
ty. The mediation to which Spain shows an
inclination to listen to has a string. 1t must
be the kind of mediation which will bring
the influence of the United States to bear
on the insurgents to accept autonomy. The
insurgents want mediation. They want me-
diation which shall start with Independence
and arrange the terms on which Spain shall
grant it. Mediation seems rather doubtful
of success as between two such remote
starting points, but Spain yields much in
seeking the influence of the United States
at all. She confesses the hopefuiness CT
the situation for her single-handed.
The position of the administration on this
question of mediation is clear. The Presi-
dent if called upon to mediate, will not
start hampered with irreconcilable condi-
tons. He will not initiate the terms of
compromise This talk Of a settlement on
a basis Of bonds to be guaranteed by the
United States as condition for independ-
ence has been much misunderstood The
President never contemplated such step
an original suggestion to Spain or the
insurgents. He never thought of proposing
that Cuba should agree to pay Sl0OOJJOD or
any such sum for Independence What the
been that Spain and the insurgents would
agree TO mediation by this government
Then If the insurgents proposed to purchase
independence and Spain was willing, and
question of the security arose. this govern
ment, having accepted the duty OF medlat-
ing, might enter into such an arrangement
as would assure Spain that the obligation
would be- discharged. That is the bond
schemes so far as ii relates to mediation,
and that is all there is of IT,, so far as the
President has ever considered 1t among the
possible plans of settling the Cuban trouble
Mediation is nearer than it has been, but
there is still some distance to go to make it
an accepted fact. The modified attitude of
Spain is the development OF great slgnifi-
canoe.
The President Is being quoted as having
said to a senator: Rather than be respon-
sible for an unho1y war ! would see my adj
sninistration wrecked. 1t Is altogether
probable that some such expression Was
used by the President That, however, does
not conflict with the facts that last Week
contracts for $10oQ0,O00 worth OF war ma
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-03-18

terial were let; that on Monday the con-
tracts for S2.500,000 worth of ammunition
were given; that Tuesday two war ships
were bought obroad for about 50 0J1.0C9. and
that yesterday the proposition to spend ST.
Co9.VOJ of the &0.0O9,0J) emergency appropria-
ton Immediately upon the coast defenseS
was under consideration.
The prospect for peace has improved
steadily. 1t is brighter to-day than at any
time since the Maine disaster. There are
Two reasons why this is so. Neither or
them implies nonaction regarding Cuba by
the President. The magnitude and the per-
lection Of the preparations mean peace.
spain is not likely to feel an inclination TO
attack in view of such preparedness. The
attack will not come from this Side, al
though that does not mean that the Presi-
dent is not going to take decisive course
to end the in Cuba He will act with
decision; but his course will not necessarily
imply war
The second reason why there is no likeli-
hood of war is the effect of influences not
readily seen and appreciated on the sur
face. These influences are the syndicates,
the corporations and the mOneyed interests.
They are directed not against this admin
iStration as heretofore to prevent action,
but against Spain to make her submit TO
some form of settlement which will remove
the Cuban question from its present posi-
ton as menace to prosperity. The mon
eyed interests of the United States are now
working through all European connections
to bring Spain to some terms of settlement.
This implies no backdown by the United
States, but concession by Spain. With such
terests are in position to dictate. That they
are thoroughly aroused, and that this is the
meaning of the recent activity on the Cuban
question by capital there is authority for
saying. Concessions from Spain are to be
expected up to the point which will settle
the war in Cuba without the exercise of
hoStiites from this country. Money now
talks for peace, not from the standpoint of
the United States, but from the point of
view of Spain. The preparedness of this
country and the pressure of capital on
Spain are doubly strong guarantees of
peace.
While most of this financial pressure on
Spain to maintain peace is out of sight,
some of the effects of it are visible. Spain's
efforts to awaken sympathy and to negoti-
ate alliances with other powers have
reached the point of desperation. No bank
rupt ever begged more pitiably for tenn
porary loans than Spain in trying to borrow
in the past two months. Her creditors
have refused further advances She has
been told plainly by the Rothschilds that
there must be no war. The recent dickering
for war ships was evidence of the manner
in which Spain is held as q, customer. The
isolation is complete The Sagasta govern
ment realizes it. Only the apprehension
that the Spanish military would resort to
revolution now restraints the Ministry from
seeking the mediation of the United States
with the Cuban insurgents, and even that
fear may not much longer delay settlement.
The war cloud is diSsolVing Spain may be
brought to her senses.

supply apparently so much in excess of the
demand as to cause a decline in prices.
Farmers have disposed of nearly ali their
wheat by this tine SO that. without design,
Mr.. Letters successful bull movement has
put several million dollars into their pock-
cts. Now that the farmers have no more
wheat to sell, it would be better for their
interest to have the wheat held in elevators
exported, so as not to interfere with the
prices of the coming crop. If Mr.. Letter can
maintain his grip he will check exports until
the market shall be affected by the wheat of
India and Argentina. Present indications
are that Mr.. Letter WILL. find it very difficult
to maintain the somewhat artificial prices
he has made, and that before he closes out
his great deal he will be forced to give up
a part of the large profits he has made by
manipulation and apparent cornering of the
market. The wheat crop of the world is too
much for one man or one syndicate to con-
troll AS rule supply and demand will make
prices.
