The directors of the Redwood
Falls Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Co. held meeting Friday af-
ternoon and passed on sundry bills
and claims, deferring action on the
Tiffany loss of barn by fire until the
annual meeting, owing to the title OF
the farm being vested in j. A. Tiff
fany's father.
The St. James Gazette has the
following regarding the Heron Lake
Fourth of July Grafton: Prof. Nc
Cleary "spoke' at Heron Lake on
the 4th. When he began to mix the
Declaration of Independence with
the "bill which bears my name an
urchin set off three lucent cannon
crackers, the band played God
Save the Queen" and Jack Wolsten-
croft's hair caught on fire The ex-
element was intense. The good
people of Heron Lake are still in
the throes of terrible uncertainty
as to the meaning of the professor
financial views but in time they
will realize that he didn't mean any
thing. 1t was only a COAX.
AS stated in our issue of last week
w. F. Dickinson returned home
from his European trip on the after
noon Northwestern train, but error
was made in stating that Mr.. Tyson
had returned, that gentleman still
being on the islands visiting with
relatives when Mr.. Dickinson sailed
from Liverpool. Mr.. Dickinson is
much improved in health, as result
of the trip. Messrs. Dickinson and
Tyson were not fully agreed on all
of the POlled Aberdeen stock offered
to them, but they agreed on one bull
prior to Mr.. Dickinson s departure,
and with the understanding that
Mr.. Tyson was to visit other herds
from which stock had been offered,
and to make selections from them,
not to exceed four or five head. Mr..
Dickinson states that it was quite
difficult to secure satisfactory cattle
from the right strains, and the work
also necessitated a study of pedi-
grees. Mr.. Tyson will be at home
in about a month.

Per request of number of peo.
pie residing along the Minnesota
river in this county the commits
sioners have decided to pay a boun-
ty OF 81 for each full grown wolf
killed during January, February,
March, April and May, and 50 for a
cub wolf killed at any season of the
year, and IS for full grown wolf
killed at any other time of the year
than the five months mentioned
above. OF the bounty one-third is
to be paid by the county and two
thirds by the State. The carcass OF
the animal so killed, together with
the head and ears in entirety must
be exhibited to the clerk of the town
in which the animal was killed and
the clerk will then issue his certiti-
cate to the county auditor.
The money belonging to the Red
wood club by reason of playing
Olivia at Morton several weeks ago
has not yet been reported as having
been turned over to the local man
agelnent by the Olivia manager,
who walked off with the pot. But
the last issue of the Morton Enter
prise contains the following item of
interest on the subject: While in
Olivia Monday, the writer was in
formed by W. J. Kinds that it was
mistake on the part of Mr.. Wilson,
the captain of the Olivia base ball
team, to carry away all the pro-
ceeds of the game between that
team and Redwood Falls boys when
they met on the Morton diamond.
Mr.. Hines stated further that the
matter would be adjusted and the
Redwood s share would be sent to
them.
It will be seen from the commits
sioners' proceedings, published
officially and in full on the third
page of this paper, the bridge build
ing dispute between Redwood
and Renville counties is settled for
all time to come By the agreement
which is signed and sealed no more
combination bridges are to be built
across the Minnesota river between
the two counties. Renville county
is to rebuild the bridge north of
Belview inside of a year and Red
wood county is to rebuild the one
north of North Redwood within
the same period, both bridges to be
of steel. When required Redwood
county is to rebuild of steel the
Delhi bridge and Renville county
the Franklin bridge. These bridges
become the property and charge of
the respective counties for all time
to come. The bridge at Morton is
to be reconstructed and kept in re-
pair by both counties, share and
share alike. The commissioners of
both counties are to be congratulate
ed on this adjustment of their diff
culties, but the commissioners of
Redwood county are to be especially
congratulated on the excellent terms
they have secured, it being estimat-
ed that the Belview bridge would
cost 81 800 more than the North
Redwood structure. To Messrs.
Cooper, Sloan and Garlic, the north
side commissioners, is an especial
vote of thanks to be extended.

WHY WOMEN ARE NERVOUS.

The frequent cases of nervous prostra-
ton or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women 'go all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further re-
search leads to the belief that alum is a
prevailing cause of so-called nervous
postration, for the symptoms it produces
on the nervous system after its absorp-
ton into the blood are very remarkable
indeed. Experiments physiological
made upon animals by Professors Hans
Mayer, Paul Seim and others show that
alum frequently produces no visible
symptoms for many days after it's intro.
ductihn into the body. Then follow loss
of appetite and other alimentary disturb
ances and finally a serious prostration of
the whole nervous system. The most
prominent physicians now believe that
nervous prostration' and many affec-
tion of the nerves from which both men
and women suffer are caused by the con-
tinued absorption of alum into the
system.
1t Is probable that many medical men
are unaware of the extent to which salts
of alumina may be Introduce into the
body, being under the Impression that
the use of alum in bread is prohibited.
Alum however, if still used surreptiti-
ously to Some extent to whiten bread,
and very largely in making cheap kinds
of baking powder. In families where
baking powder il generally used great
care should be exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream of tartar.
The alum powders may generally be dis
tinguished by the lower price at which
they are sold.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
County Has Another
Tragedy.

Caribou, Me-, October S.-The settle
ment Of Woodland. near New Sweden. ia
considerably aroused tonight over shoot
ing affair In which Albert Bjorkman, a
Swsds, was the aggresssor. and country
man, Gustave johnson, was the victim.
1t Is supposed that Jealousy was the
cause, although the character Of the men,
according to their neighbors, was widely
d ifferent. johnson Is spoken of as a
quiet, industrious man, while Bjorkman
is described as being the opposite. The
shooting was with IS calibre revolver
and Bjorkman fired three times, each
bullet taking effect and the wounds are so
serious that johnson Is not expected to
live. One shot went entirely through the
body from right to left, tearing the intss-
tines. the second followed almost a SINH
lar course but remained in the abdomen,
while the third bullet went through the
left elbow.
Tonight the trouble which brought
about the shooting IL not known.
Bjorkman afterward shot and MORALLY
wounded his wife and fed with q sheriff s
posse in pursuit. At a late hour tonight,
johnson was still alive but his death wns
expected at any time.

General Lawton today dispersed tho In
surgents, driving them to the westward.
The purpose of the rebels was to cut th .
communication maintained between
Baooor and linus by means of the road
between those places at a point between
linus and the east bank of the river. The
insurgents had trenches along the west
bank commanding the open spaces. A
force Of 1900 rebels attacked linus yestsr-
day and six hundred proceeded against
Eacoor. with detaohments along the
river.
This morning Colonel Dagsett's force
spread along ths road from Baooor toward
linus and three comp anies of the Fourth
regiment under Captain Hollis were
thrown out from linus, the two COM
mands forming junction. The entire
line crossed the river and drove the FIJI
ipinos from their trenches TO the west

rendered by Admiral Watson. crossed tn 70

the rules to finish the race before 4. IS, 1t
soon became evident, as the boats at
