IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.

The White Lake Contest Contest Case
Was Settled in Favor of Palmer.
Col. j. M. Adams received informa-
tion from Washington Tuesday
that q decision had been rendered in
the land contest case of j. @. Palmer
VS.. w. II. Cooper, which involved a.
portion of the townsite of White Lake.
The first time the case was tried the
local land Office decided in favor of Pal
mer but the commissioners reversed the
decision. This was in 1895. I. Col. Ad-
ANS then appealed to the secretary of
the interior, who has just made his de-
cision by reversing the commissioner
and sustaining the local office, thus
giving the land to Mr.. Palmer.
At one time the most of White
Lake was located on the land but
since the contest began the buildings
have been moved south of the railroad
track. The case has been stubbornly
fought by both sides, and quite num-
ber Of men were interested with Mr..
Hooper in the outcome of the case.
The contest was first commenced in
1891, and has attracted good deal of
attention in land circles. Col. Adams
feels highly grasifed over the result,
having won what seemed to many q
hopeless case.

Ray ColweIFs Damage Suit Against the,
City Was Settled Saturday.
At the May term of court Ray Col
we'll, of Alexandria, brought suit
against the city for sl,5oo, the young
man having driven into an open ditch
one night last Septem ber and sustained
injuries which he claimed we're serious.
The jury in the case gave him verdict
and a Judgment, amounting to $500 and
with the costs would amount to about
$3.50. Friday Mr.. zollman and Mr.
Colwell came over from Alexandria to
talk over the matter of compromise.
The council appointed committee to
confer with the attorneys and Saturday
morning the adjustment was reached
by Mr. Colwell accepting S789 in full
satisfaction of his claim. The members
of the council felt that the matter was
disposed of in very satisfactory man
ner, as there was little chance of. win
ming if the case was carried to the su-
preme court or if a new trial was grant
ed. Messrs. Zollman and Colwell re-
turned to Alexandria Friday evening
and Mr.. Goodykoontz finished the de-
tails of the settlement today.

encouragement in the way of securing
subscribers,tot the telephone system and
has secured good list from among the
business men and the residents of the

phones will undoubtedly be largely,in-
creased.

Among the churches in the city

of the president OF the United States.
ST. Mary's church on last Sunday morn
ing appropriately devoted it's services
to that of national character. The
stars and stripes appeared on a grace
full banner in front of theN eNaudience. The
scripture lessons were selected with
reference to thankfulness and praise to
Almighty God for His blessings. The
presidents proclamation was read while
the audience stood in reverence. The
sermon by Rev. Mr.. Durant was a
msrked effort, one OF the best he has de-
livered during his pastorate, The theme
of the address was the hand of God in
working out the destiny of nations,
with particular reference to the pres
ent war with Spain. Rev. Mr.. Durant
has been an ardent supporter of the con-
dict from its inception and the address
was q :",Meriul argument in favor of

which Mr.. Durant stated his position
gave his sermon a rank with the high

vices closed with the audience singing
the national hymn. The collection of
the day was devoted to the Red Cross

WE WILL HAVE THE LIGHTS

Work on. the Electric Light Plant Will
start at Once.
For the past week the matter of the
purchase OF the electric light plant by
the city has been under discussion by
the committee, appointed to look up the
proposition, and the city council with
the result that q meeting was held
Monday afternoon to take some deci-
sive action as to whether the city would
buy it or not. Some of the members
were in favor of the city trying the ex-
reriment of operating its own lighting
plant if it could have boug ht at lower
figure but under the circumstances the
proposition was voted down.
This left the matter with Geo. @.
Duffy to go ahead with the plaft and
rebuild it. which has been his intention
to do all the time in case no arrange
ment could be effected with the city to
become the owners AS soon as the
council reached its decision Mr.. Duffy
at once began to make plans for re-
building the plant. He first purchased
the old Standard Oil warehouse, now
owned by. o. b. Perry, who will move
| it to the present site of the plant and
he will have that completed in week d
time. The building is a large one and
will be we'll suited for the lighting
plant Mr.. Duffy stated that the en-
i gine and boilers would be used in the
new plant and had not been damaged
sufficiently to injure their use. New
J dynamos, however, will have to be pur
| chased. Mr.. Duffy is quite sure he viii
be able to complete the repairs ant
: have the plant in running order within
: five weeks time, which will be in plent..
of time for the republican state conven
tion. People will be very glad to kno,
: that operations have been commence
for. the erection OF the plant and in th
I main have had enough OF unlighte

WAS A SPLENDID MEETING.

The Business Mems League Held Its First
Session Saturday Evening.
The Business Mems League of Mitch
ell is going to be- success. That fact
is determined by the exceptionally good
meeting held Saturday evening in the
G. A. r. hall. The rainy night preclud.
ed very large attendance but about
thirty assembled in the room to lend
their assistance and encouragement to
the enterprise and we don't believe
there is one of them but who is glad
that he attended the meeting. Mr..
Branson presided over the meeting and
we want to say that we believe the lea
que did a very wise thing in placing
him at the head of the organization,
for he not only takes an energetic in
terest in the welfare of Mitchell but he
injects much enthusiasm in the mem
bers who attend the meetings. The
matter of handling the republican state
convention was discussed at come length
and financial committee of three was
/
| the preliminary arrangements. The
committee is as follows: Geo. E. Logan,
T. G. Burns, and L. Beckwith.
Another committee of five was ap-
pointed to take charge Of the entire ar
rangements with the power to appoint
subcommittee to assist in the work
This is composed of the following gen
tlemen: J. b. Server, M. E. Spooner.
Geo. A. Silsby. Thos. Fullerton and
b. L. Bras. As president of the
league Mr.. Branson was added to the
committee.
Mayor Fullerton brought up the mat
ter of the city purchasing the electric
light plant and as the gathering wat
fairly representative of the business
interests of the city he asked for an ex
preston as to the advisability of pur
chasing the plant. Nearly every mar
in the room spoke on the project an6
while there were few honest objec
tions to the plan the proposition seem
ed to meet with favor among the major
ity of the speakers. Mr.. Fullerton stat
, ed that Mr.. Duffy had reduced his pro
position so that the pant could be pur
chased for 81, 500, aud his main objec
was to secure some idea from the OK
pressions as to how the business me
felt in rbgard to the city owning th
, plant, which would be something of
} guide to direct the city council in it
, action on the matter.
Theexecutive committee of the leagu
j was directed to secure as many pi,
. lures as possible of the farming inte
ests OF this county which are to be ser
q to the Omaha exposition, where the
! will be placed or exhibition in prom
. nent position.
; The league adjourned to the call
the president and at the next meetir
the bylaws will be ready for adoptio
. We trust with the excellent start ma,
). that all business men will make an {

Company Wants to Sell at a Figure the
City Doesn't Want to Pay.
&C. Duffy, OF 'Ripon, Wis, was in
the city last Friday ON a mission
to see what could be done toward in
ducing the city to purchase the electric
light plant, in which Mr.. Duffy has
some interest. He made proposition
to,the city TO sell it in its present con-
dition for the sum of SIS, 500 which
would include the franchise that yet
has twelve year lease of life. Mr..
Duffy talked the situation over with
the committee to some extent but the
latter could not arrive at conclusion
to purchase the plant at any such
figure, and there the matter rests.
In conversation with Mr.. Duffy he
stated to the reporter that in any event
whether the city purchased it or not.
the plant would be rebuilt at once, and
that the franchise was. altogether too
valuable to lose, as it wasn't such an
easy matter to secure franchises these
days. Mr.. Duffy has gone to st.
Paul to confer with gentleman
who has agreed to put the plant in run
ming order for SO, 500. It is to be hoped
that the question will be settled in q
few days and work will be commenced
on the rebuilding of.the plant.
