REFUSES THE MONEY.
Judge OgIe Says he Has Not Juris.
dictiOn.

Judge Ogle has refused to accept
from Sheriff Gerlich the fines collected
by the latter from the men who were
captured in last weeks raid on Bunker
hill. He takes the ground that as no
return was ever made on the warrant
and the men did not appear in court
either in person or by their attorneys
the court has not obtained legal Juris-
diction of the case and he has no right
to accept any money. 1t appears that
a complaint was issued against the men
by the county attorney on the morning
after the raid, but the matter was not
carried to it's conclusion. Unless the
legal steps are followed, the
money will have to be returned.
The women were all arraigned in
open court before staring multitude
and paid their fines, but the men were
given kid glove treatment, some on ac
count of having families and the others
because it was not thought to be right
to discriminate in favor of the married
men.

A MISSING UMBRELLA.

A we'll known citizen applied to
County Attorney Hughes Monday af-
ternoon for warrant for the arrest of
two other well known citizens. He
was in an excited state of mind, and
his story was sad one to relate. He
said that while eating dinner at res
taurant, another citizen, with the con-
niYance of the restaurant proprietor
and possibly others, had stolen his um-
brella. He said that this caused him
to miss his train besides catching cold,
as he had not been well the night be.
fore. He wanted the men arrested on
the charge of grand larceny in the sec
ond degree. Mr.. Hughes did not see
his way clear to issue warrant, and
the umbrella was returned later in the
day.

SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Judge Severance Secures the Doing of
an Act of Justice.

Six years ago, August L. Gherke was
convicted at Blue Earth of murder in
the second degree, and Judge Sever
ance sentenced him to states prison for
life. The judge was never satisfied
with the verdict of the jury, feeling
that the man should have been acquit-
ted on the ground of self-defense.
Gherke has made no effort to secure
his release from prison, but Judge
Severance appeared before the state
board of pardons voluntarily and unso.
licited and stated Gherke's case to the
board. The latter commuted the sen.
tence to twelve years imprisonment,
and decided to parole Gherke for the
balance of his term. The people of
Blue Earth had notice that his case
would come before this meeting of the
board, but no one else appeared on
either side of the case. Judge Sever
ance feels that the act of the board was
no more than justice under the circum-
stances of the case.

EXCHANGE STREET.
Steps Toward Opening it to the Public
Being Taken.

In 1875, Willard & Barney gave the
city deed to certain property, in
which the right to lay out street back
of the city hall, extending from Wal
nut to Mulberry streets, and to extend
Walnut, Main and Mulberry streets to
the Minnesota river. The members of
the board of public works think that
the time has come when the city should
open the street back of the city hall,
known as Exchange street, and it will
probably bring the matter before the
next council meeting. The city attor-
ney has prepared a resolution for the
council to pass. referring the matter to
the board to take the necessary steps
to open the street. The street can be
opened without cost to the city.

CHANGE SUGGESTED.

An informal gathering of number of
Republicans from different parts of the
state was held at the Windsor hotel, ST.
Paul. last week, at which plan for party
organization on new lines was promulgated
and recommended for adoption at the June
convention.
The plan as proposed is in no wise COM
plicated. Per contra it is simple in its
provisions, and if approved, the Republi-
cans will be able to pursue the approach
ing campaign with stronger and, it is be-
lieved, a more active committee than ever
before. The plan as outlined, provides
that each congressional district shall elect
three members of the state committee, and
in turn the three shall elect from its num-
Der chairman who shall serve as mem
Der of the executive committee of the state
central committee. Added to these, how
ever, will be: the chairman, secretary and
treasurer of the state committee who will
be chosen by the chairman of the state
convention, making in all ten members of
the executive committee, in whose hands
the active management of the campaign
will be placed. In addition to this it is
proposed to further strengthen the hands
of the committee and give representa-
tion that will emanate from the people, by
the selection of an auxiliary state COM
mitteeman from each county in the state.
The advantage of this auxiliary member
is that he will keep in close touch with
the three district members and keep them
thoroughly informed of the situation in
his county. BY the adoption of the sys-
tenn proposed the state comittee will be
made up of men chosen by the voters and
not, as now, by the candidates on the
ticket. Their responsibility will be
greater, from the very fact that their Sc
lection comes more directly from the party,
and wholly free from personal entangle-
ments with or antipathy for any candidate
who may be chosen by the convention. q
1t is hoped that the respective counties
some care and determine if it will not be
profitable to adopt some such plan as has
been outlined.

The report is now published that Ad-
miral Dewey determined to become a
presidential candidate to spite President
Mckinley. 1t is said that the Admiral
wanted $Io 900 for his services as mem
Der of the late Philippine commission,
which he did not get. 1t seems that ther e
is statute which says that no one shall
hold two Offices of trust and profit under
the United States government where the
compensation exceeds 81. 500. and the
President, sworn to uphold the laws of the
land could not find any legal way of
awarding the Admiral the ten thousand
asked for. Now the question is, who is
the Admiral humiliating the most-the
President for being guided by the plain
letter of the law, or himself for getting
mad in failing to get large sum of money
that the statute provides against, and rush
ing headlong into the political arena?
President Mckinley is a large hearted
man, man of magnanimous instincts, and
would be glad to see Admiral Dewey fit
tingly rewarded for his services as mem
Der of the commission. But there are
things that even President cannot do.

COL. BIRD PRAISES
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES
AND THE pI ATE0R N

Col. G. w. Bird of Madison, who was
an alternate at large to the Kansas City
convention, was recently in Manitowoc
transacting legal business. In an inter
view on the outcome of that historic
assembly the Madison lawyer said;
THE candidates nominated and the
platform adopted by the Kansas City
convention are exceedingly gratifying
and satisfaC tory in every way to me-
In Col. Bryan's sterling integrity and
honorable steadfastness of purpose in
adhering the correct principles, the peo-
pie of the United States have the utmost
confidence. His associate Mr., Steven
son, has demonstrated his peculiar fit
ness for the vice presidency by having
discharged its duties faithfully and with
CONSPICUOUS ability for a full term, and
the country need not be told who he is.
THE platform is IA splendid document
1t sets forth correctly and in every part
of it, true Democratic principles. 1t re
states the Democratic creed with marvel
lous faithfulness TO the time honored
tenets of the great and progressive
party, and it is broad enough for ali
Democrats to stand upon.
The convention presenting these
candidates and this platform was the
greatest political gathering ever assem-
bled on this continent, and its action is
especially gratifying as it is the accom-
ing for since 1896 That it will be raft
fed by the people, | have no doubt

CYCLONE DID ABOUT
$4,000 DAMAGES IN
TOWN or LIBERTY

j. w. Finch, of the town of Liberty,

the damage to crops and property in his

AS to the damage to crops he says
that the storm really did more good
than harm as rain was much needed
and the good from that source will be
of great value, more than offsetting the
damage.
