price the lots desired BY them upon

from the wording Of the tfust deed that
such t. action 81 may not be legall taken
and "a that the property must be sold at
public auction. Under this decision it
l IS 's remedy problematical whether OF
not the New Ulms Boot and Shoe COM
pany will be permitted to secure the
land at such a figure as they may feel
disposed to pay. The property n ques-
ton has attained considerable value for
manufactu curing purposes within late:
years and it is possible that Others may,
take note Of its deslrability and partici-
pate in the sale. IS Il. s ..s
There seems to be but one solution to
this problem, and that is, in the opinion
Of The Review, that while under the
terms of hesdeed the land must be sold
to the highest bidder, there is no pro-
vision which can possibly prevent the.
attaching of a reasonable condition to
the sale. We believe that the city coun-
Gil may legally and consistently require
bidders at this sale to enter into bond
guaranteeing the establishment of a.
certain industry within a reasonable
time. Itwould be extremely unfortun-
ate and the height of folly to permit this
most desirable site to be purchased by
some Spectator, whether resident of
New Ulm or elsewhere.
The remedy is, require the purchaser
to guarantee the purpose for which the
purchase is made.

The significant series of Mormon stor-
les opens in 1.-THE New Lipp,ncott" for
January with "The Third Wife," In
this. as in the succeeding stories, Mrs.
J. K. Hudson first of all tells an inter-
esting humane tale, but the ultimate eff
feet of the series is revelation of Nor
mon family life, such as has not hither-
to been made. Eastern writer's are Who'll.
ly ignorant of the pathetic conditions.
and even visitors in Utah could give no
inner knowledge such as is striklngly
set forth as fiction for the THE New
Lippincott.'
The Mankato Daily Review is author
ity for the very tishy story to the effect
that one Fritz Fischer was robbed in q
boarding house in this city of the sum
of $50, and then walked to Mankato
before reporting his loss. If the first
part of the story were true, the latter
would indicate that the fellow is fit
subject for the home of the feeble mind
ed. 1t is mighty hard matter for man
to keep hold of his money in that city
without expecting to get back there
what he loses elsewhere.
At special term of the district court
held at Waseca Saturday c. W. II.
Heidemann, we'll known in this city
from his former residence here as agent
for the Northwestern, plead guilty to
the embezzlement of $1O7 from the
American Express company by whom he
was employed at GAINESVILLE. Many nit
igating circumstances were shown by his
counsel, Jos. J. Eckstein of this city,
and in consideration of the same the
court imposed the comparatively light
sentence of a fine of $3.50, which was at
once paid, and within an hour Heide-
mann was again on his way to Montana,
happy his freedom and the fact that
he was given another opportunity to re-
trieve his fallen fortunes and make for
himself new name. He was extreme
| y fortunate to have had loyal friends
and for their sake, as we'll as his own, it
IS hoped and expected that he will not
again permit his feet to slip from the
path Of honor Ill. = & u j J.. = g.. +
