has been closed by direction of the
state bank examiner. Nothing but
the most urgent Of reasons can JUS
justify this proceeding. In most
cases it is far preferable for the stock
holders of institutions of this charac-
ter to wind up it's affairs under the
supervision of it's governing board
rather than be placed to the extraor-
binary expense usually attendant
upon enforced liquidation. Every
one is aware that these expenses
are very considerable and indeed
oftentimes burdensome. They fall
upon a class of men whose trials
have been only begun by the sus-
pension and which eliminate in the
settlement of final account OF the
finances of the institution usually
allowing large fees to the receiver
and his legal advisers. Our exper-
fence as people OF late years has
been by no means happy in affairs
of this kind.
Ex-senator Fuller of the Little
Falls Transcript is one of the many
editors who believe that the govern
or and the bank examiner acted
unwisely in closing up the Savings
Bank of St. Paul. He says:
The closing of the Savings Bank
of St. Paul by Public Examiner Pope
is strongly denounced by many. A
large number OF depositors protest
against the action. The Pioneer
Press is emphatic in claiming that
the action of the public examiner
was against the interests of the de-
positors. Gov. Lind and Examiner
Pope are blamed with hasty and I'M
warranted action.

A BOY KILLED.
Run Over While Playing in the
Yards at the Grove.

Emil N. Nelson, the six year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Nelson of
Walnut Grove was killed while play
ing in the railroad yards at Walnut
Grove, between five and six o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon of last week.
The boy had been playing in the
yards with his two brothers-one
ten and the other three years old.
The ten year old brother had taken
the three year old home and had re-
turned for Emil. At that time Emil
was playing in the sand between
four or five box cars on the sidetrack,
near the westernmost elevator in
that town. The older brother ex-
horted him to come on home. Emil
said ''no, that he had a cool place
and was going to stay there until 6
O'Clock.
A gravel train has been working
in and around Walnut Grove for the
past several weeks, and just at this
time was engaged in switching.
The car containing the shovels had
been switched down the side track
and allowed to 60 at it's own speed,
the employees knowing that it would
stop about as soon as it struck the
cars under which young Nelson was
playing. In striking the first car
the force was so great as to knock
the others forward, and in attempt
ing to get out from under the young
man was run over, the wheels of the
car passing over and sereving his
right leg from the body at the hip,
serving the right arm from the
shoulder and cutting the shoulder
blade, cutting off the right foot and
also several fingers of the right
hand Death was almost instantan-
eous.
AS soon as the railroad employees
saw what had happened they rushed
to the scene of the accident and found
the lifeless form of Emil. The dis
membered remains were picked up
and placed in the cellar of the resi-
dence of the parents, and DR.. A. B.
Halves Of this city, as coroner, was
summoned. He arrived there early
Wednesday morning and after MAX
ing a thorough investigation of the
facts leading up to the killing, as
we'll as acting on the advice of the
parents and County Attorney Cla-
que, decided that no inquest was
necessary.
The remains were placed in the
cemetery at Walnut Grove Wednes-
day afternoon.

POLITICS AND NEWS.
Gossip and Opinions Gathered in
the Sanity City.

A Minnesota representative is
quoted by one Of the daily papers as
saying that he anticipates the Dem
ocratic party will adopt rather no.
vel program in the next presidential
campaign AS he views the situa-
ton there is no one issue of trans
cending Importance of which the
Democratic party at large can avail
itself. Therefore he is inclined to
the opinion that the leaders will con-
sent to localization of issues; that
each section will be instructed to
press to the front those questions
which have a popular following in
their respective neighborhoods. In
the great west there will be an effort
to revive the spirit of the free silver
fight while the ants of the east will
be fed anti-imperialism off a spoon
by the disciples ofEdward Atkinson.
In the Industrial districts of the
middle west where organized labor
commands a considerable strength
direct play will be made through
the labor unions. Antitrust will be
the slogan and a dissolution of all
great combinations of capital will
be held out as the cure-all for all un-
satisfactory economic questions.
We govern the Indians without
their consent and down south they
govern the niggers without their
consent, says the Warren Register.
Every state Furnishes it's convicted
criminals without asking said Grim
inal's permission. Anarchists are
compelled to obey laws, not one of
which meets their approval. John
Lind is governor of the state Of
Minnesota, without the consent of
the editor of the Register, whose
wishes are not consulted when he
was given his certificate of election
comforting power upon him to rule
over us in common with the other
Republicans of the state. The states
lately in rebellion were brought
back to their allegiance by force.
Examples almost without end might
be cited to prove the faulty Of the
Atkinsonians when they apply jeff
erson S famous maxim to the Phil
ippine question. We are going to
govern Luzon, whether the Tagals
of that island give or Withhold their
consent-and don't anybody make
any mistake about it.

Speaking of the closing of the Saw

Agent Howe, representing the
Clinton Bridge & Iron Works, was
called in by the commissioners, after
that body had inspected the various
plans and bids submitted, and was
asked for one or two changes in the
design of the bridge on which he
quoted the highest price, and after
the changes had been made he
offered to do the work for the amount
stated above, which offer was ac-
cepted by the commissioners, with
the feeling that they were getting a
first-class bridge at an exceedingly
low price. The agent stated that if
his company had not made contracts
for the delivery of steel and iron a
long way ahead, before the advance
in iron and steel commenced, the
bridge would have cost Redwood
county $500 more.
By the terms of the contract made
between the commissioners and the
bridge company the new bridge is
to be in readiness for use by Jan
1st next. The company is to tear
down the old bridge, and is to have
all of the old iron and steel in the
same, but the lumber must be piled
up on the Redwood county side Of
the river and is to be the property
of the county to be sold at such
time as the committee chooses to
designate, and thus reducing the
cost of the bridge still more.
The new bridge is to be set on
the present steel and stone piers.
which are considered in as good
condition as if new. It is to be 1913
feet and four inches long. The
height of the trusses is to be 10
feet, eight inches, % feetand 29feet.
The roadway is to be Is feet wide.
The panels are to be II in number
and there is to be Is feet, six inches
between each one. The capacity of
the bridge is to be 1000 pounds of a
moving load per lineal foot, or 700
pounds of stationary load per lineal
foot. The capacity Of the floor is. to
be 100 pounds per square foot. The
floor beams on either side are to be
10 inch iron, while there are to be
10 lines of floor joists, each 3x12 in
size. The flooring is to be of three
inch pine.
| When the committee announced
it's decision the other representa-
tives of contracting firms present
were informed of the matter, and
they all stated that the commission
ers had secured an exceptionally
good bridge at very low price.

GEORGE w. PEPPER.

REV. GEORGE W. PEPPER, D. D., died Sunday
morning at his home on East Madison avenue,
Cleveland. For week he had failed rapidly and
the children except the son and wife in the Klon-
dixie were at his bedside. DR.. Peppers last public
effort was his two addresses in the opera house,
Wellington, May 29, in the evening and on the
afternoon of May 80, the Decoration day address.
These were worthy of the expiring energies of a
great orator and thinker and will not be forgotten
by those privileged to hear him. He had been
comrade in arms to a number of his hearers who
with him had worn the blue, and was the beloved
pastor of many more, all of whom felt that they
should not again be permitted to hear the music of
his voice from the platform. Yet he spoke with
great compass of tone and vgor of gesture scarcely
like sick man except that he could not stand long
and was obliged to take the chair.
1t was said of him that he went as a lecturer
into every state in the union, being in great de-
mand upon patriotic and political occasions and
was'a most effective campaign speaker. He was a
close friend of the prominent men of many nations,
and most intelligent and cultivated thinker and
writer He was also loyal and stanch friend of
the church, of lighthouses, and of humanity, and
made every occasion one in which to convey the
message of the gospel AS traveller he was OBJ
serving, critical and gathered of the best in all
lands, picturing to others the beauties he saw and
discriminating in his judgment and taste. His
dominant trait was his broad and intense sympathy
for humanity, his hatred of sham and oppression,
and his ideality and gift of expression with which
he clothed with beauty and polish the shafts of wit
and denunciation or appeal making him wonder
fully eloquent and effective.
His funeral occurred Tuesday August 9; burial
at Lake View where his wife and daughter had
been brought home and laid to rest, from Italy
in 1891, and the gifted yonng writer so suddenly
stricken in Washington in 1890.

End of Suffering.

Miss Martha Wadsworth departed
this life August 4, 1899, aged II years
The deceased was born November l3
1928, on the old Wadsworth farm soutl
OF town. She lived there until 1850
since which time, nearly fifty years
her home has been on South MAR
street. For years she has been a con,
sistent member Of the M. E. Church
and although failing healing prevented
her from active work, she gladly con.
tributed toward the expenses of the
church.
About forty years ago she had bron.
chial trouble which resulted in con.
sumption from which she has been O
sufferer ever since.
Notwithstanding her necessarily se-
cluded life, she had many friends tc
whom she had endeared herself by heI
kindness of heart and gentleness OF
soul.
The funeral which was private was
conducted by her pastor, Rev. r.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

ONE contemporary, the Akron Beacon, said
last week that 1.-THE local newspaper is probably
abused more than any other person or thing abused
for what it does and for what it does not do and
yet all men must sooner or later acknowledge its
power and usefulness. 1t is expected to give free
more of what represents money to it than any other
institution gives of its means or stock in trade and
more frequently than not gets curses because it
does not do more"
The late Judge David Davis, of the United
States supreme court expressed this opinion after
he had won his highest honors: Each year every
local paper gives from $500 to $4,000 in free lines
for the benefit of the community in which it is
located. No other paper can, WILL do this.
The editor in proportion to his means, does more
for his town than any other man, and with all his
fairness, man with man, he ought to be supported,
not because you may like him or admire his writing,
but because local newspaper is the best advertise
ment community can have. 1t may not be crowd
ed with great thoughts, but financially it is more
of a benefit than both preacher and teacher. To
day the editors of local papers do for less than
any other men on earth. Patronize your local
paper, not as charity but as an investment. Me

Another new star has been discovered
at the Harvard observatory by Mrs.
Fleming, to whom are credited five of
the six new stars found since 1885. This
latest conner In the stellar family is in
the constellation Sagittarius. Prof. W.
H. Pickering has discovered new and
ninth satellite of the planet Saturn,
the new body having been found on
four plates exposed with the Bruce
telescope at Arequipa In Peru. This ad-
ditional moon of Saturn probably does
not exceed 800 miles in diameter, and is
so faint that but few of the great tele-
scopes at present in existence are pow
erful enough to disclose it. Japetus,
discovered at the Paris observatory in
I'll by Dominique Cassini, has hitherto
been regarded as Saturn's outermost
moon, being at distance of 2 1-3 mil
lions of miles from the planet, and hav-
ing period of 10 1-3 days. But the new
satellite is three and half times more
distant than Japetus, and 1t consumes
almost year and half in going once
completely round Saturn. More than
half a century has elapsed since a new
satellite was added to the Saturn sys-
tem.-Harvard Graduates Magazine.
