AtchisOn people generally have a
great deal of respect for Lysander John
Appleton He has earned money by
constant hard work, and isn't afraid to
recall the days when he was poor. It
is true that Mrs. Lysander John APP
pletOn seeks to give the impression that
they were always rich, but Lysander
John is meek, and doesn't deny his
former poverty. He likes to smoke his
pipe out behind the barn, and doesn't
care if he is Obliterated by f1ashy wife
and children. Lysander John isn't ap-
preciated by his family. He represents
the bank account, and is tolerated only
for what he gives to be fooled away
No one ever asks if Lysander John is
comfortable, and while Mrs. Appleton
attends Mothers Meetings, and Home
Keepers Conventions, Lysander John
eats what a poor cook sets out for him
at home, and never grumbIes. Mrs
Lysander John Appleton reads beautf-
full papers on how to keep a mans love-
at WOmen's congresses, but she really
doesn't care if her husband likes her or
not, and would only regret his death
as the man regretted the loss Of the hen

TROUBLE RUMORED.
Action Threatened For Contempt of
Court.

1t was rumored Saturday that parties
connected with the Mankato Lime and
Stone Co. aFriday removed some
property from the quarry that was COW
cred by an injunction by the district
court forbidding the company to move
it. Geo. Pass one of the officers of the
company, stated that he was unable to
confirm. or deny the report as he had no
knowledge on the matter. He did not
think that any property covered by an
injunction had been moved. Attempts
to get at the facts from other sources
were of little more avail.
w. L. Comstock, who is attorney for
Mr.. Craig, stated that he had heard the
report and that if it should prove true
it would be case of contempt of court
and action would no doubt be taken
1t is claimed that the property
moved, if any was moved. amounts to
several thousand dollars. The affair
has stirred up considerable feeling
among the parties.

LEGAL POINTS DECIDED.
Judge Lochren Makes Ruling on the
Lord Milling Co. Case.

The Lord Milling Company came on
for hearing before Judge .Lochren at
chamber, at Minneapolis last Saturday,
On the 2Sth of July the Bank of Water
vile commenced suit against the Lord
MillingCo. and levied an attachment on
substantially all of the property of the
Milling Co. On the End of Aug, 1898,
the Lord Milling Co. conveyed the same
property to the Bank of Waterville in
trust to be by the last named corpora
ton converted in cash and distributed
pro rata to the creditors of the insolv-
ent milling company. The creditors
relying upon this transaction refrained
from petitioning that the milling COM
pany be adjudged bankrupt for more
than four months after the attachment
had been levied. After the four months
limitation had expired the Bank of
WatervilIe disclaimed the deed and
claimed a lien on the whole property
under the attachment. The property
involved is valued at about 81, 900 and
and constitutes substantially all of the
property belonging to the Lord Milling
Co. at the time it was adjudged bank
rupt. If the Bank of Waterville shall
prevail it gets the whole and the other
creditors get nothing.
The legal questions were: 1st-Has
the United States district courts juris-
diction in actions of this character.
2nd-Is an attachment more than
four months old at the time a petition
in bankruptcy is filed dissolved thereby
3rd-Did the taking of the trust deed
subsequently to the levying the attach
ment merge and extinguish the at
tachment lien.
c. ] lockwood, of Minneapolis, APP
peared for the Bank of Waterville, and
w. E. Young for George w. Mead,
trnstee.
The court held, that it had juris-
diction.
That an attachment more than four
months old at the commencement of
bankruptcy proceedings is not dis
solved by reason of the bankruptcy pro
ceedings, that the attachment is
merged by the deed,
This gives the property to the trustee
to be divided among the creditors pro
rata.
These questions are all new and the
case becomes a precedent for cases of
like character

Nearly Four Feet Thick and Will Proba-

DULUTH, April 4.-There are $50 miles
of solid ice stretching down Lake Su-
perior from this end, and the same con-

the big lake. Men at work putting in
the dock of the Duluth, Missabe and
Northern road in the upper harbor find
they must cut through A inches of clear
blue ice to reach the water underneath.
Vessel men are now saying that if ships
reach here by May 10 it will be all any
one can hope for. This is really calam-

others there is need of an early opening
of navigation. There will be all the
work for vessels that they can possibly
do, and the season will evidently be a
month shorter than usual.
