Trial For Libel

Washington, Dec. a.-The attorney-gen- eral has received letter from the United States attorney at Mobile, Ala, in which he states that inquiry into the movements of the suspected filibuster Sommers N. Smith has so far not disclosed anything of a damaging character within the last two months. The examination, however, has produced evidence tending to show that late last August or early in September the Smith successfully landed In Cuba cargo of munitions of war for the use of the in- surgents. Two of the sailors on this ex- petition have testified to this effect, and it is probable the United States authorities at Mobile will enter at once formal libel against the Smith and place her officers on

retention of contract labor. L do
not think that any member of this
association has any idea that the
contract system will be continued.
Our memorial was to this effect
that the anti. contract labor law be
not enforced just at present, to
prevent us going to Europe, for
instance, to employ a lsborer-
even a cook. We are in trausi-
ton state, but do not expect that
the contract system shall be ex-
tended. We ask that this transit
ton be not made too sudden, or
that we shall not be able to take
measures for preventing laborer
from running from one plantation
to another. We are not trying to
retain the contract system or any
feature of it.
Mr.. Atherton read the words Cd
the subject from the memorial be-
fore him.
MIR. Dole asked Mr.. Baldwin if
he understood how lsborers we're
brought into Louisiana.
Mr.. Baldwin, presume that
they evade the law. L suppose we
can evade the law too.
Mr.. Lowrie being appealed to
could add nothing to MIR. Bald
wins remarks.
Mr.. Ewart said that when a YES
sci arrived with immigrants in
the lower part of the Mississippi,
each planter sent wagons for just
as many men as he knew were
coming to him.
Report ordered printed.
There was no report from the
committee on forestry. DIR. Max
we'll did not have the data in
shape. He presumed the matter
here would now be one for the
United States Government.
Mr.. Dole related that when he
was in Washington it was hoped
Mr.. Furnow, chief Of the forestry
bureau, would come to the ISL
ands. But the Government pre-
ferred not to make the appearance
of interfering in Hawaiian affairs
prematurely. Since that time,
however, Mr.. Furnow has resign
ed the position to take the presi-
dency of school of forestry.
DR.. Maxwell delivered sum-
mary of a comprehensive report
on the work of the experiment
station. Nineteen varieties of
cane were being experimental
with. The report went deeply
into the matters of seed cane, irri-
cation, etc. Suggestions were
made for securing economy OF
water and incidentally the saving
of soil from washing away. Re-
port ordered printed.
On motion of Mr.. Baldwin it
was decided to visit the expert
ment station at 8 o'clock next
morning.

A man must reap as he sows. If he sows
ill-health he will reap ill-health. If he
ueglects his health the weeds of disease
viii grow up and choke it.
1t is daily and hourly marvel that men
will recklessly neglect their health, when
they are courting death. It lies in most
every mans power to live to a green old
age. If a man would only take the same
care of himself that he does Of his horse, or
cow or dog, he would enjoy good health.
When a man owns a hundred dollar horse,
and it gets sick, he does not waste any time
about doctoring him up. When his garden
gets full of weeds, he doesn't delay about
roofing them out, for he knows they will
choke out his vegetables. When he is out
of sorts, sick, nervous, headachey, has no
appetite and is restless and sleepless at
night, he pays little attention to it. The
result is consumption, nervous prostration
or some serious blood or skin disease. Dr.

best of all medicines for hard working men.

WILL PAY $4,000.
Citizens Bank Bondsmen to Settle
For That Amount.

The most important piece of busi-
ness transacted by the board of coun-
ty commissioners at their regular semi
annual meeting this week, was the re-
ducing the liability of the bondsmen
of the Citizens Bank from nearly
81, &,4O0, to 5000 fat. The stipulated
sum will be paid into the county
treasury inside of one week.
The reduction in the amount was
due to the fact that practically only two
Of the bondsmen will be required to
pay the whole sum. The two are G.
". Mead, who was never connected
with the bank, and Dwight Bissell,
who was stockholder at the time the
bank became insolvent. The other
signers of the bond are in no condi-
ton, whereby the county can collect
the amount from them, and the COM
missioners, after nearly "a hours de-
liberation, at 4 80 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon, decided to cut the amount
down to $1,000, the vote standing
three to one.
Some of the commissioners first
proposed to make the amount $500,
an amount which the two bondsmen
claimed was excessive. Two of the
commissioners we're for $1,000 from
the start, and Tuesday afternoon,
when the first vote was taken, these
two, Messrs. Carlile and Cooper, voted
for that amount, Mr.. Aftermath for
$500 and Mr.. Wilson for a small
amount more than Mr.. Aftermath.
Shortly after large number of busi-
ness men appeared before the board
and declared that as tax payers they
we're willing to have the amount re-
duced to $1,000. They were even
willing to share joint responsibility
with the board for the reduction. Mr..
Wilson then attempted to haye the
amount fixed at .$3,24O, adding the
$24O on account of the stipend paid te
Mr.. Wickwire for attorneys fees. The
other three members we're opposed to
this, and roll call was had, resulting

HOT TIMES IN BEAVER,

Beaver is filed with an excited
crowd this week attending commits
sioners court, and there are several
causes for the exciting times. For
years an effort has been. made to
change the line OF the State road in
the town of Flora, beginning at q
point near the Shoemaker farm, thence
north and west for a distance of four
or FIVE miles. The several petitions
of former years have always been
squelched, but Banquo like the ghost
has arisen, and in full life apparently,
but, as usual, the petition has large
remonstrance which is being used
this week as an antidote, and which
ever side wins in commissioners court
will send the opposing forces into dis
trict court and from there to the SUI
preme, in order to haye the matter
forever adjusted.
Tuesday the big "ditch" case, in
which many land spectators are seek
ing to get the "other fellow" to pay
for his benefits, will be considered,
and fine array of legal talent will ap-
pear for both sides. The ditch, az
proposed, will be twenty feet vide
! FIVE or six feet deep, and has length

in the passing of a resolution fixing
the amount at $1,000.
The original amount sued for by
the commissioners was S3,642. The
judgment finally entered on Oct. 18th
of last year, was for A,213. The
amount has since been drawing inter-
est at the rate of per cent. per an
mum, making the interest amount
to about $2l065 last Tuesday.
The whole amount due before the
commissioners acted, therefore, was
about $4,423.65.
But from this amount very properly
should be deducted taxes alleged to
have been paid by the bank, but in
law never paid, because the money was
not paid to the treasurer. These taxes
amounted to over $1,000, and if the
bondsmen desired to fight that
amount they could undoubtedly have
had 1t deducted. SO the reduction
was only about $4OO.
Mr.. Mead paid $500 of the amount
several months ago. and the balance
now due is $2,5OO, which will be paid
inside of one week.
The commissioners spent several
hours listening to q petition of resi-
dents of BrookvilIe, asking for the
formation of q new school district out
OF the nine sections in the central por-
ton of that township. No decision
was arrived at up to the hour of going
to press.
The members will meet next week
as board of equalization.

sheriff's Office would pay dearly for
the arrest if Jerry took him, and
bluffed the deputy out so completely
that he went down to the telegraph
Office and wired to Redwood Falls
and Morgan for better description.
About the time that the sleuth stepped
into the telegraph Office, the east
bound freight pulled out of Morton.
The travelling man was aboard of it,
and from the rear steps of the caboose
he waved an affectionate farewell to
the deputy sheriff.
Twenty minutes passed by. A team
came into Morton, all covered with
foam. The team was attached to q
buggy, occupied by the Morgan mar
shal and Mr.. Tompkins, pere. The
deputy sheriff related his experience.
and was told that he had the right
man. Jerry pulled the magnificent
set of locks on his forehead, rushed
wildly into the telegraph Office, and
told the operator to hold the train at
Fairfax. When the train reached the
latter place, the commercial man en-
gagged a livery, drove across country
to the Milwaukee, and there disap-
peared from Jerry's vision, into the
countless throng.
The authorities are now wondering
what they would do with the man in a
court OF justice.
All of the Morgan merchants, who
purchased goods of the fellow, have
since written to the house, cancelling
their order.
It was learned here Tuesday morn
ing that the commercial man was G..
C. Towne, of Mankato, representing
the we'll shoe house of Phelps,
Dodge & Palmer Co., of Chicago.
Towne has q family residing at Man
kato.
He was in, this city last Thursday,
registering at Hotel Francois early in
the morning, aud selling boots and
shoes to several merchants, leaving
here on the afternoon train for Sleepy
Eye.

BOUGHT THE CLAIMS.
And JUDGE Webber was Relieved Of
Holding Court.

Judge, Webber and Stenographer
w. T. Eckstein came up from New
Ulm last Monday afternoon for the
purpose of holding a special term of
court in this city, the same to COM
mence on the following morning, but
when the hour arrived it was an
nouaced that there was no business
for the court, except the making of a
few citizens, all owing to the fact that
the most important case docketed was
being settled and the other case on the
calendar had been continued to be
tried in chambers.
The important case was the one OF
Kate Geraldson and all other creditors
of the insolvent Citizens Bsnk against
the stockholders of that insolvent con-
cern, an action commenced by Carmsn
N. Smith, attorney, to enforce the
stockholders liability act, by which it
was sought to make all of the stock
holders pay into the hands of the as
signee an amount equal to the face
value of the stock held. When court
convened, or just prior to that time,
His Honor was informed that the case
was being settled, and q continuance
until next term was asked for and
granted.
1t appears that a number of the
larger stockholders, some time ago, Sc
cured an agent to buy up as many of
the claims against the bank by depos-
itors as could be purchased, and on
such terms as the agent could make.
The agent in question was Mr.. Bell
of Winona, who is in the employ of
Mr.. w. 81. Laird of Laird Norton Co.,
one of the largest stockholders, and
who was very anxious to have salts
factory terms made with the deposit
ors. Mr.. Bell commenced his work,
and on last Monday it was announced
that all but three or four creditors.
and they people residing in this coun-
ty who had not yet been seen, had
been satisfactorily paid off, and the
claims assigned to Mr.. Bell. 1t is un-
derstood that the average price paid
for the claims was about 20 cents on
the dollar.
As soon as Mr.. Bells success was
announced the attorneys on either
side, Mr.. Bowers representing the
stockholders, stipulated to continue
the case until the next term. At that
time Mr.. Bell will be given judgment
by default against all of the stock
