science. Standing now at its very
close, a glance at the personalities
who did most toward the shaping
of this tendency and the moldlng
OF mems minds is timely There have
been great men in other departments of
human endeavor great writer's, great
statesmen, artists and musicians; but 1t
is by its scientific achievements that the
century will be marked ont from all pre-
ceding centuries. No less a man thnn
Alfred Russell Wallace has pointed out
that the scientific achievements of the
last hundred years have been greater in
extent and number than those OF all pre-
vious centuries combined. And II has been
not only in theoretical but in practical
science as well that most has been ac-
complished. In the lifting of the burden
of labor by machinery, the speedy transit
of men and goods. and the alienation of
human suffering this has been the century
of centuries.
This has been the age of steam. One OF
the pathfinders in this direction was
James Watt Q7a6-1sis). The delicate boy
who could not play the rough games of
his fellows was TO startlc the world by
the discovery that water, so long consid-
cred one of the elementary substances,
was really made mp of two gases oxygen
and hydrogen But he did not stop here.
He invented the condenser of the steam
engine, and the closed cylinder which has
made the locomotive possible. opening

N. P. LANDS IN MINNESOTA.
A Minneapolis Syndicate Said to be Fig
uring on Purchase of all the Mime
sofa Lands.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t is Under
stood on very good authority that
the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany is negotiating for the sale of
it's remaining land grant lands in
Minnesota and that a Minneapolis
syndicate is very likely to be the
purchaser. The lands comprise
about 7OO, NN acres scattered through
the northern part of the state. This
proposed deal. taken with the recent
sale OF large area OF timber lands in
Washington would seem to Indicate
policy upon the part of the North
ern Pacific of closing outfits holdings
as rapidly as it can make favorable
terms. The present deal is said to
be about at the point OF consumma-
ton.

was void; If not the plaintiff was en-
titled to recover. 1t is understood
that the jury stood to 6 on that
question, and disagreement was
the result. The case will probably
not be retired at this term.
A night session of court was held
during which the court tried the
case of w. M. Jackson vs.. Fred Ca
kin. The plaintiff in this case sued
for compensation for work per-
formed. The case was dismissed
and the court directed that each
party pay his own costs in the case.
At the conclusion OF the trial of
the l.. F. Martin case against the in
surance company, Case No. II, Matt
Pauser VS.. Peter Nagal, was called.
The attorneys announced that it
had been settled.
No. 33, Agnes Artonowski vs..
Louis Schneider, was next called. The
defense asked for a continuance
which was granted conditionally
that the defendant pay the term
costs in the case. This is an action
brought by the plaintiff for Islander.
The defendant refu sed to comply
with conditions and the case will
come up for trial at this term.
No. 81, George Geissel VS.. Simon
Schwintek, was called and the jury
impanelled before court adjourned
at 6 O'Clock. The trial OF the case
was taken up this morning. The
plaintiff sues to recover on note
for something over $500, given in
1890. The defense claimed that the
note was outlawed. The case went
to the jury at 1890 and is still out
at this writing.
The case of the Carroll Investment
Co. VS.. Benjamin Bates and Dora
Bates was next taken up. The
plaintiff sues to recover for an al
legged trespass upon lands OF the
plaintiff by the defendant. 1t is
claimed that the defendants cut
some timber from this land located
in Randall town. The defense claims
to have cut the timber under
a permit from a person
then occupying the land.
The attorneys are now making their
arguments and it will go to the jury
at about 4:30. This case will be fol-
lowed by the action brought by Ag-
mes Artonowski against Louis Schrie-
Der, for damages for alleged Sian der
Qua utterances concerning the plain
tiff by the defendant.
