ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
Arthur B. Chapman Wants the C. 6 N.
w. TO Pay for His Loss.

Arthur B. Chapman has commenced
an action against the Chicago & North
western railway company to recover
$3.50, the value placed upon the horse
and buggy that were run down at the
crossing of the st Peter road at point
a little ways beyond the Tourtellotte
hospital on the evening of Nov. Goth.
1t will be remembered that a man
named Freeman was killed while driv-
ing across the track ahead of an ap.
preaching train Freeman was driving
Mr.. Chapman's horse, which was alse
killed and the carriage demolished.
Thos and Evan Hughes are attorneys
for Mr.. Chapman, and claim that new
evidence has been discovered since the
coroner's inquest that makes it appear
that the railroad company was neg
ligent. If this should be shown to be
the case. the company might have to
pay for Freeman's death, also, as the
deceased has brother living near st.
James.
The complaint in the suit was served
on Agent Johnson Tuesday.

The Review in write-up of the city s
industries last evening, puts the total
output of our industries for 1899 at 3d.
29S,00O. That is good showing and
indicates great future for our city if
there is a unity of action among our
business men in everything that per
tains to the welfare of Mankato. A pull
altogether, shoulder to shoulder at the
wheel, will accomplish great results for
1900. Let us try it.

OUT FOR ATTORNEY
w. A. Funk Steps Into the
Political Ring.
A Warm Fight Promised for the County
AttOrneyship with Four
Candidates.

The present year will see a national,
state and county campaign fought out.
Already there has been some gossip in
dulged in regarding possible candidates
for county Offices 1t is taken for
granted that all of the present officials
will seek denominations, although one
or two are holding off to feel the pulse
of the people. Probably no office will
develop greater strife in the Republi-
can nominating convention than that
of county attorney. The present
incumbent, Mr.. Thos. Hughes,
has had two terms and some of the
other attorneys are casting longing
chances toward his official toga, Mr..
Hughes has not yet decided positively
whether he will ask for denomination.
There are three others who stand
ready to step into his shoes in
case the way seems clear. These
are w. A. Funk. S. B. Wilson
and H. l.. Schmitt. The latter has
not yet fully made up his mind
whether to enter the contest, but his
friends say that he will be found on
the firing line later on.

CIRCUITS FaiIure as n Leader.
from the Barre Times.


The Vermont newspapers who are for
Grout through thick and thin have not yet
recovered from the shock of their IDOLS
SCATTERING in the matter of the oleo bill
enough to even attempt to offer any eXpla-
nations of their favorite's complete defeat
but the opposition papers are alive to their
opportunity. The following two para
graphs are from the Rutland Herald of diff
ferent issues:
"The failure of Grout to press this meas
ure to a vote should not be quoted against
him. He did as well as he could. The
farmers of Vermont will be disappointed,
but CIRCUITS heart is all right He simply
lacks legislative ability.
"The Grout oleomargarlne bill was laid
at rest yesterday in Congress by being put
over until December. 1t is pity that this
merltorious measure was not handled by a
stronger man."
1t was a noticeable fact that in all the
attempts to get the bill before the House
for final vote Gen. Grout did not once
appear. The leader in the fight and the
man wholly in charge, according to the
press reports, was Congressman Tawney
of Minnesota.

VERMONT NEWS.
Analyses Of Commercial Fertilizers.

Vermont Agricultural Experiment sta
tiOn's Report on Goods sold In Vsr-
mont.
The experiment station has finished and
published its report on the yearly inspec-
ton of fertilizers. 1t has analysed 1872
brands, the output of 10 companies, all
drawn from dealers stocks, all this year s
goods.
So far as the quantity of plant food fur
nished is concerned, it finds that six
sevenths of the brands were up to or above
guaranty, that one seventh fell short
somewhat, and that one-twentieth failed
to furnish a commercial equivalent of their
guarantees.
As regards the quality of plant food fur
nished it may be said that while as a rule
the quality of the crude stock used was
good, there were some cases which seem
open to criticism. Two.ffths of the brands
carried on water soluble nitrogen. There
appears to have been somewhat inferior
forms of nitrogen used in certain cases,
notably in some low grade goods and by
two companies, whose goods have been on
this account open to some suspicion for
three years. The phosphoric acid was in
some cases quite largely in the insolube or
reverted forms, indicating apparently eth
er much undssolved bone, imperfect man
ufacture, old goods, or more or less use of
Alphabetically inferior forms of this ingre-
dent. Sulphste of potash is claimed to be
present in three-fourths of the brands, but
was actually found in but one seventh.
The average selling price of the fertili-
zers sold in Vermont approximated $2S 73
and the average valuation, $lS.O8. Two
dollars in every five paid for fertilizers met
the costs of manufacture and sale. An
amount of plant food which cost dollar
might have been bought at retail for cash
at the seaboard for IS cents in average low
priced goods, for 63 cents in average medi-
um grade brands, and for 6S cents in aver
age high priced goods. In nearly one
fourth of the entire number of bi ands, dol
lar was charged for amounts of plant food
which might have been bought at retail in
the larger markets for 80 cents or less
"Cheap fertilizers" are usually the most
expensive.
The average composition Of the brands
sold is perhaps very slightly higher than
last year. Selling prices have remained
unchanged, notwithstanding an advance in
the price Of crude stock. Plant food is as
cheap as it ever was; yet buying mixed
goods on time is still more costly method
Of getting plant food than is home mixing
or buying on special order

old Man Horribly Rea,.n.

Edward McCabe was arrested near
Island Pond Saturday and taken to the
Jail at Guildhall. He is charged with at
tempting to murder Fernando Blanchette,
an aged Frenchman. Blanchette was
walking on the railroad track from Island
Pond to Norton when he became weary,
and fell asleep beside fence. While he
was in this condition McCabe, with large
stones in his hands, pounded him over the
head, his object being robbery. When
Blanchette was found it was thought the
cars had run over him. He was taken to
Island Pond, where he recovered conscious
ness sufficiently to describe his assailant
Constable Randall and others started on a
hand car in pursuit of McCabe, and captur-
ed him about 10 rods from the Canadian
line. McCabe admitted his crime, and
seemed to be entirely Indifferent as to
whether Blanchette recovered. The old
mans head is crushed horribly, and his
condition is critical McCabe is only 1S
years old. He came to Island Pond from
Montreal.
