the REDWOOD FALLS GAZETTE? Was it fooled

that vanSant would carry Redwood county!

MRS. ANDERSON HURT.

Mrs. Mary Anderson of North Red
wood, widow of the late A. j. Ander-
son, was seriously injured in run
away accident near North Hero about
$40 last Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Anderson and daughter Cora,
Miss Johannah johnson and the Miss
es Bertha and Lena Kuenzli, formed
a party that had spent nearly the
whole of Monday afternoon gathering
gooseberries along the banks of the
Minnesota river. They drove heavy
draft horse belonging to one of the
Kuenzlis, and this was attached to a
light wagon. They had started for
home, and had just reached the bridge
across the Redwood, when the eyen-
ing freight came laundering and
whistling down the grade, running of
it's own force. Just as the engine
reached spot opposite where the
horse was dancing the engineer
whistled, and the horse jumped side
ways, throwing all of the occupants of
the light wagon out in a heap. Mrs.
Anderson was on the lower side of the
wagon, and she fell on her hip and
shoulder, and then struck on her head,
knocking her senseless.
The horse had torn loose from the
wagon by this time and was going at
wild rate of speed towards potato
patch east of the scene of the acct
dent. The girls in the party, aside
from Mrs. Anderson, recovered quickly
from the shock, and at once COM
menced to investigate Mrs. Anderson's
condition. They thought her dead.
Passengers on the train notified the
people at the station, and soon G. E.
Lamberton's bus loaded with help,
started for the scene. Mrs. Anderson
was then picked up and carried to
Honner's grove, where DR.. Schlegel,
summoned by telephone, arrived 20
minutes later. Mrs. Anderson re-
NAMED unconscious until about z /
o'clock. DR.. Schlegel found hip of
the patient bruised badly, and also an
arm. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Ander
son was resting easily, although she
will be compelled to remain in bed
for a long time

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.


About eight years ago agitation was
commenced for the purpose of taxing
the unused railroad lands in this
State. 81
A. Y. Merrill of Minneapolis, then
of Aitkin, prepared a bill for this pur-
pose and it was introduced in the leg
islature of 1891, and defeated. 1t was
again introduced in 1893. and was
again defeated. It was introduced
third time in 1895, and was the hottest
fight ever made against any measure
in this State it was finally passed by
one vote in the senate.
In 1896 it went before the people
for a direct vote, as provided by the
law itself, and received more than
235,OOO votes in favor, and less than
10000 votes against it.
The Supreme Court of this State
has declared the law valid. The
amount of land added to the tax list is
more than 100000 acres. 1t increases
the assessed valuation of the State
from $15,OOO,OOO to $2O,OOO,OOO. It
increases the taxes collected about
100000 annually.
Mr.. Merrill has led the fight for this
measure from it's beginning to sue
cessful termination in the Supreme
Court of this State. He is familiar
with all the law and facts surrounding
the same. The railroads claim that
the laws under which they are taxed
are contracts with the State and that
their lands can never be taxed or their
present taxes ever be increased with
out their consent. This claim they
have made for more than twenty
years. Their claim has been defeated
by our Supreme Court, and they now
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States for the purpose of sus-
tanning their claim of contract.
The next Attorney General of this
State will have charge of this case in
Supreme Court of the United States.
Mr.. Merrill is candidate for the Of
fee of Attorney General before the
next Republican convention.
It is advisable to place this import
ant case in charge of a man who is fa-
miliar with it, and who will bring
about just settlement of this propo-
sition.

The claim of the railroad companies,
that no matter how much our taxes
may be increased to meet the expenses
of the government, their taxes can
never be increased without their con-
sent, is an important question and
should be carefully and fully present
ed to the court in behalf of the people.
Is it just that while your lands are
taxed that they shall be permitted to
hold theirs exempt until sold to an in
diyidual?
All interested in the just settlement
of these propositions in the Supreme
Court OF United States, should see to
it that the delegates who represent
you in the next Republican State con-
vention favor A. Y. Merrill for Attor-
ney General.

would become monotonous but for the
responsiveness of the features in each
Individual case, albeit they nearly
all grow out OF the same kind or cir

stiality on the part OF the hanged that
furnishes the preteXt
1t is idle to present the truism. which
not even the perpetrators OF mob law

BIG EVENTS PROMISED.

At this writing the war news Is not
important so far as developments go.
The relative positions of the American
and Spanish fleets have not changed
much, and there is an expectation that
the contending forces will get together
under some kind of circumstances with
in n short time; but 1t Is sincerely
hoped the means selected for the bring
ing about of a collision will not be the
following up of the Spanish ships IN
their present quarters. The odds would
be greatly against the Americans in
such n plan. Tho narrow inlet for Its
whole length is supposed to be a net
work Of mines and torpedoes. while bat
terles of greater or less calibre crown
nearly every eminence along the tor
tuous way; so that, while Schles
might get through to the harbor he
also might not, and II he did it could
not fail to be without serious losses
which might be avoided. He ought TO
be at his best when he meets Cervera
and so make short work of 1t. To be
so enfeebled that nothing or little was
accomplished would be TO give the
Spanish encouragement and needlessly
prolong the war. Let those who are SO
eager for n battle possess their souls in
peace until one that will be great and
complete victory for our arms at as
little cost of life and treasure MS pos
sible can be had. Doubtless Commodore
Schiey knows what to do and appreoi-
ates the entire situation; what he may
do is looked forward to as being the
correct thing at the proper time.
Meantime large bodies OF American
troops are on the way to Cuba. and
great many have already landed. 1t is
within the possibilities that these will
soon effect a junction with the in
surgents, who hold the country ad-
jacent TO Santiago, and capture the city
by means of an assault from the rear.
This would simplify matters very much
and make the capture or destinatlonIof
the Spanish fleet. together with the
complete occupation Of tho eastern part
of the island. matters of fact. The
reader should be able to see without
assistance what this would mean. Lei
us be patient and wait. Great events
are at hand.

BAD FOR THE CONTINGENT PATRIOTS

News comes from Washington which
Is bad for the contingent patriots, by
which term Is here meant the American
gentlemen who have expressed will
lingness to cot army rations on the
contingency that they can partake
thereof in the officers mess rather than
with the common, low down soldier,
who enlisted just because he thought
his country needed him, instead of
keeping his eye on the main chance.
The news is to the effect that most OF
the 10000 troops for which President
Mckinley has Issued his second cali
will be used for the purpose OF filling up
existing regiments to their full capacity,
instead of creating new regiments. The
estimate 10 made that at least two
thirds of the men enlistlng under this
second call viii be SO disposed Of leav-
Ing only about $4,000 as material for
new regiments.
This means that there will be fewer
regimentai officers by several hundred
than would be required were the whole
of the 5000 recruits to be made into
new regiments; and 1t means that sew
eral hundred men who desire to be
colonies, majors. captains. etc, from
the word go, will not be given the
epaulets they so ardently covet before
the same are earned; 1t further means
that n large number of men whose
patriotism is contingent on the commits
sions they have asked for, Will not en-.
ter the service of their country.
But 1t Is no doubt an advantage to
the army to exclude from 1t as many as
possible OF the ofilce-seeking ilk. An
army differed by men who have been
promoted after being tested is far more
likely to achieve victory and to pre-
serve high standard of excellence
than it would he II Differed by kid
glove gentlemen whose Willingness to
serve their country depends upon the
willingness OF the country to honor
them first by giving them the commits,
sions and emoluments of army officers
1t would be grand thing FOR the ar
my II 1t could be relieved Of the office
seeker and political wire puller as COM
pletely as the navy hes raen.

Is the pestiferous Office seeker; and that

CAPTAIN CHARLES KING.

ton THAT Capt. Charles King will like
ly be placed in command of that por-
ton of the forces under Gen. Merritt

interest in this State to learn more
about him.
Capt. Charles King Is the son of Gen.
Rufus King and was born in Albany,

Gated at Columbia college and West

He served as an officer of artillery and
cavalry until 1871. when he was made

He was aide-de- camp to Gen. w. II.
Emory for n time and later served as
acting Judge advocate, department Of
the Gulf. For three years In the sew
entities he was on frontier duty, and in
1874 was severely wounded in Arizona.
He was promoted captain In 1879 and
in the same year was obliged to retire
from active duty on account Of his
wounds. In 1880 he accepted the chair
OF military science in the University of

no very great surplus of anything tha'
Is useful. To emphasize somewhat tho
necessity for u steady output Of min
erals the reported collapse Of the Klon'
dixie may be instanced. Instead of ad-
ding many millions to the nauon's
gold supply as was expected. 1t now
turns out that more has been expended
by those who have gone to that coun-
try than has been or is likely to be
taken out. and what has been gained
has gone into the possession OF a COM

To offset the bursting OF the Klon-
dixie bubble. California Ia again show
ing up in something OF her old-tlme
form. while the other gold producing
states are steady gamers. The gov
eminent some years ago took the
necessary steps for collecting data re-
garding that states yield in the ag-
gregate. herculean task and one in
which no little assistance has been
rendered by the state mining bureau,
BIZ. II is hardly probable that absolutely
complete details will ever be had, there
being more than can be account
ed for. The San francisco Chronicle
says that under proper conditions one
of these departments would be Il check
on the other, and between the two
fairly reliable result might be OBJ
tanned. But as 1t Is, the state bureau
and the Federal government obtain the
same data through the same channels,
the statistics being arranged by the
same MANTLE United States mint
statistician. Then again, the director
of the United States mint ostensibly
prepares third report OF the mineral
products of the state which, under or
dinury conditions, would constitute
second check upon the returns Of the
mint statstician. But 1t Develops on
examination, that the director of the
mint relies on the same individual for
his California statistics, md while In
years past there has been slight var
over the signature OF the same man In
the three reports published, 1t was OF
so slight n difference as to signify
nothing more than nm apparent lapsus
in the memory of the guesser. These
three sources OF alleged information
regarding Callfornla's mineral wealth
have, therefore been of no real
value TO determine actual results, for
If any inaccuraoy or inconsistency APP
peared in the details of either one
statement as compared with any other
of the three, 1T, in effect, cast n doubt
upon the correctness of all.
The Chronicle seems to think the
compiler purposely underestlmates the
states yield, and the statements have
been challenged every year, but 1t is
difficult to conceive OF any object for
such action while 1t is reasonably GER
tain that in n task involving so much
of research and compilation inaccura-
cies must occur and many Items of
more or less consequence not be
reached at all no matter how faithfully
and diligently the work was cnried on.
This would all amount to, as stated
above. a shortage which could only be
gressed at; the figures chosen might
be much more or considerably less
than the reality. but a II Is quite i'm
possible for this to be obtained, and
