. w. P. Chase discovered some old
letters while overhauling some of his
old papers last week, which he values
very highly. They were written in
1865 by his brother Wilbur just after,
the latter had been released from An
Jacksonville whore he spent eleven
months. One is addressed to his
mother, one to another brother and one
to our Mr. Chase, and tell something
of the JOY Wilbur felt to be at liberty
again after having been reported dead
several times in the prison. When set
free Mr.. Chase was SO badly afflicted
with scurvy that one of his legs was
drawn up SO that he could not touch
his foot to the ground.

POLICE COUIR I NEWS
Herman Kreuger Gets Mixed With His
Neighbours Logs and Was Ar
s rested for Stealing.
Herman Miller's Case Goes Against
the Village on Account of Non-ap.
pearance Will Be Appealed.

I1eiudu hFeugeF WAS In the tOlIS
last Tuesday charged with stealing
logs from a neighbor, John Wetter.
Both parties live a short distance
above town and near the new Brugge-
man mill. Mr.. Wetter asserts that
his neighbor wilfully trespassed on his
lands, taking therefrom sundry trees
and logs which he had sawed at the
aforesaid mill. Kreuger was arrested
and brought to Princeton Tuesday af-
ternoon but before the case came up
for a hearing the interested parties
had come to settlement and the mat
ter was SO compromised that there is
some doubt as to its ever being heard
of again. ~. III
r The defendant is to clear the land
which he stripped of the timber so
that it can be cropped, restore the logs
and take care hereafter to cut nothing
which belongs to the plaintiff, and to
secure the performance of his part has
given mortgage on some of his prop
erty.
AS a prominent attorney said when
he heard the facts: ''It is all right to
pick non-residents but it is crime to
corral any timber belonging to a resi-
dent.''
The case of Herman Miller against
Marshal Spaulding, which is really
case against the village has been de-
cided against the marshal. This is
the case it will be remembered in
which suit was brought to recover
damages because the marshal put a
team belonging to the plaintiff in
barn during blizzard last winter.
The case was to come on before Judge
Bouck, but a change of venue was
taken and the defense was given to I'M
derstand that the case was to be sent
to Judge Dickey for hearing. It is
stated by the attorneys for the defense
! and denied by the plaintiff that the
Judge changed his mind and sent it to.
Justice Sanford and therefore there
was no appearance on the part of the
defense when the trial came on. Judg-
ment was given plaintiff by default
and the case will be appealed.

Is This Our Jonathano

Jonathan Emerson, an old man of.
Osseo, died Saturday afternoon and
left no relatives in that vicinity. A
daughter, Mrs. John Morton, is sup
posed to live near St. Cloud but the
authorities were unable to locate the
woman Cloud Journal Press.
The man referred to in the above
item is probably the Jonathan Emer-
son, who lived in this vicinity for
several years. Many years ago he be-
gan to prepare for death and erected a
monument in the Anoka cemetery
which is a curiosity worth seeing.
The stone is covered with letters less
than an inch in length cautioning the
reader to beware of all secret societies,
but more particularly of the Masons.
Besides this, part of the stone is used
to publish short sermon on morality.
Some idea of the length of his address
will be gained when it is stated that
the matter. if published in these
columns, would occupy the greater
portion of our first page. -

The Wabasha Herald offers the fol-
lowing sensible suggestion to farmers:
"There are great many things about
the farm that could be looked after at
this time that would result in saving
of time and patience later on. The
seeder should be put in shape and the
harrows repaired, plows sharpened,
seed grain cleaned and everything put
in condition so that not one moment
should be lost as soon as the weather is
ready for seeding. Harnesses, too,
should be repaired. When timothy
and clover seed are to be sown the
seed should be on hand. The season
at best will be late and not a moment
should be lost from the work. While
it is true that there was on April l a
great deal OF snow on the ground, it
must be remembered that all the snow
that fell since November 81 was still
on the ground at that time and that
the average precipitation for the sea-
son has been small. The result of this
is that a great deal of moisture is due
us at any time and it may come after
seeding operations have opened, and
should it, the fellow who gets his grain
in the ground first will be best off.
We believe that just as soon as the
ground is ready seeding should be
pushed with all possible haste.''

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste AND cceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effcctually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing hgs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA fIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

But even when circumstances made her
the first Of naval powers. Spain was never

Italian sailor secured for her the empire
OF the west. The lighting prowess of two
great military captains won for her Next
CO and PERU Her splendid armies con-
Quered Portugal and brought her the Wild
est colonial doI9lnion OF the age. But Il
was not by sea that Spain won her SUI
premacy. and not by naval victories that
she laid her grip on every quarter Of the
globe. Even when her power and wealth
seemed irresistible. when her military rep
utation was at its height. when the world
was strewnt with her territories and the
ocean laden with her argosies and fleets,
her real naval power was utterly sncom-
mensurate with the astonishing preten-
sions which 1t made. As soon as England
and Holland laid finger on 1t. her mari
time empire crumbled into dust. The Ar
mazda only revealed a fact which English
sailors had for long suspected. and the
consciousness Of which explains brakes
sublime contempt for the menaces Of
Spain-the fact that even at the zenith
o. their fame, the Spaniards had no mas
terry of the arts by which the sea is held.
Is there on record a battle which shows
that Drake and Blake and Jervis and Nell
son were mistaken in their low estimate
OF Spanish seamen? Can any Of US recall
the name OF a Spanish admiral of genius,
or Of any great Spanish naval victory

forts to resuscitate the fleets of Spain.
Take the modern war in Chill. and mark
how few antagonists Cochrane could find
there worthy OF his steel. Even in the days
of her greatest power at sea. Spain was
VIGOROUSLY deficient in the capacity of her
sailors. and since those days she has stead
lily declined. Today Spanish gunners and
