Reduced Freight Rates For Settlers

In order to encourage the move
ment of settlers and land buyers from
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and the
eastern states to Western Minnesota.
South Dakota and North Dakota, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry
Co. has very materially reduced it's
carload rates for emigrant movables,
so that farmers who have purchased
lands in Western Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota can take
all of their belongings with them to
their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul
Ry. will no doubt be greatly appreciat-
ed by those who are thus bene fitted.

HONOR FOR ALL.

There seems to be an attempt to
give the credit for the destruction of
Cervera's fleet to Sampson. What
ever credit is due him should be given
him. But to Commodore Schley
rightly belongs the immediate credit
of fighting the great naval battle and
destroying the fleet, and to him it
should be given. 1t was not at all to
Admiral SIMPSONS discredit that he
was absent when the battle was
fought. He was away looking after
other duties. No one had the least
suspicion of what Cervera intended
doing. He took our folks by surprise,
but the GOODNESS of Schley was not in
the least disturbed. He hurriedly
gave chase, and as hurriedly formu-
lated his plans for heading off the
fleeing vessels, and carried them out
successfully, and the honor there for
should be his. He should be made
a rear admiral as was Dewey. Samp-
son is not lacking in honor. He has
had charge of the fleet, and entire
supervision of affairs and has looked
after them most successfully. Ameri-
ca has three great naval commanders.
There is room enough for them all,
and honor also. The efforts of a few
to crowd one out are not in good
taste, and entirely uncalled for by
the march of events.

NO RELEASES.
Judge Severance Decides
Against Longini & ThOms.
Stems Taken in Several Other Cases IN
the District and Municipal
Court.

Judge Severance made an order TO-
day granting dividends without re-
leases in thei case of the Longini y
Thoms insolvency. The order was
made on the petition of the National
Citizens bank, represented by Lorin
Cray. w. L. Comstock appeared for
the firm, which strenuously opposed
the petition. Mr.. Comstock states
that an appeal will be taken to
the supremescourt. 1t is said that
the order will leave nearly $4,000 in
claims hanging over the members OF
the firm after the estate is settled.
1t is found as matter Of fact that
Longini & Thoms, knowing them
selves to be insolvent, made and de
livered to A. Longini twelve promis-
sorry notes for $500 each, payable one
each month for services to be render
ed the firm after the making there
OF, from Apr. 1st, 1897, to Apr. LIST,
1898; that the intent and purpose OF
Longini s. Thoms in making these
notes was to give preference to A.
Longini over other creditors. and
such notes were made in contempla-
tion of insolvency on the part OF
Longini & Thoms; that the hrst
three of these notes were paid; that
a few days before the filing of the
petition for appointment OF a re-
ceiver, the firm had cash on hand and
cash slips to the amount OF $3.50,
which were part Of the assets OF the
firm; that Immediately preceding the
commencement of the insolvency
proceeding, the firm expended said
money; that there was no entry on
the books of the receipt or disburse-
ment OF said money; that in the fall
of 1896, Longini & Thoms being then
insolvent, it executed a mortgage to
Samuel Sternberger to secure
the payment Of debt of $1,000
due him; that said mortgage
was withheld from record. and on
June 4th, 1897, said firm executed
another mortgage to Samuel Stern
berger to secure the payment Of $12,-
500, which included the original 81 500;
that both mortgages were executed
and delivered with intent to prefer
Sternberger over other creditors.
Judge Severance has made an order
refusing a new trial in the case Of
Henry Jones ct al vs.. Wm.rJones ct al.
This is a probate court case. The
district court, on an appeal being
taken, revised the order Of the pro-
bate court, and VIM. Jones ct al.
moved for a new trial, which has been
refused, and an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court. Lorin Cray ap-
pears for VIM. Jones and w. f.
