NEARLY FINISHED.
The Big Ditch Through Alice Lake
to rIadison Lake.

Last fall the county commissioners
of Blue Earth county authorized the
construction of ditch from Indian
Lake through Lake Alice to Madison
Lake. The action was taken in re-
Spouse to demand of interest parties
at the head of whom was Mr.. R. G.
Wood, and to the latter should be
given the credit, largely, for the great
energy in pushing the matter is due
the final action of the commissioners
and the completion of the undertake
ing. The ditch is three miles long.
1t is fifteen feet wide at the top and
three feet deep. Seven hundred acres
of land have been reclaimed, land that
heretofore has been worthless for farm
ing purposes. The contract was taken
by Mr.. Wood for about twenty-five
hundred dollars. 1t was sublet to Mr..
Ed Greener. Special mention
should be made of the services per-
formed not only by Mr.. Greener, but
by his son, Ivan, John Reisbigler,
Ernst TiefenEol and Col. Coddington.
Mr.. Woods informs US that the job
was completed easily. The good will
and assistance Of the county officials,
of the railroad company and. the citi-
zens generally helped the undertaking
along. It was one of immense mag
nitude for an old man but Mr.. Wood
never shrank. Every obstacle was met
and overcome and ssthe achievement
now stands as a monument to restless
activity. With the exception of three
OF four on the north end of the ditch
whose Intellectual weakness was an
element Of Strength rather than other
wise there was no trouble in the least.
Seven hundred acres Of land reclaimed
means an addition to the wealth of. the
township of not less than twenty-five
thousand dollars. Recognizing this
the commissioners were wise in ex-
pending money as they did. Not only
In retaining land was there money
value involved, but in other directions
material benefit resulted, notably in
the improved roads in the vicinity,
extending to the western limits of the
township. While the county commits
sioners, the railroad officials, the citi-
zens generally, with the two Or three
exceptions as noted, are entitled to
credit, yet to--Mr. Wood should be
given the major portion of praise for
the achievement. He conceived the
project, agitated it, circulated the pc
tition to the commissioners and per-
sistently kept it before the people I'M
til its merits were recognized and
final action taken. It is certainly a
great benefit to all concerned. james

Time TO sober UP III AAehCuchS'
New York News.
The assassination of Goebel
ought to have SOLDERING effect on
the Republicans and their Demo
CRATIC tools in Kentucky. They
have been on political debauch
for a long time now, in the course
of which talk of bloodshed and
threats Of death have been too
freely INDUCED in. People in
other States laughed and said
that there was no danger
that it was only way
they had out there of relieving
their minds when overcome by too
much partisan oratory. There has
been danger all along, however,
and if the tragedy in the Capitol
grounds recently does not act i'm
mediately as brain clearer de-
lirium of OWL war is sure to fol-
low.
Threats against Goebel began to
be made as soon as he was put
forward as the nominee of the
regular Democracy for the Gov
ernorship. Republicans freely pre-
dicted that if he was elected he
would not live to take the Execu-
tive chair, and SO wild was the con-
duct of the opposition to him after
the returns left the result of the
voting in doubt that the Demo
crats abstained from making the
vigorous contest they might have
made then. They allowed the Re-
publican candidate to be seated
peacebly instead and waited for
the assembling of the Legislature
for justice.
When it became evident that
the Legislature would award the
Governorship to Goebel the fren-
zied talk of the Republicans be-
came louder. The whole party
seemed to be drunk with party
hatred, and the only wonder is
that mob, disguised and masked,
did not take Goebel out of his bed
at midnight and lynch him, but
left it presumably to one cowardly
assassin to kill him.
Will the shook of this crime
bring the Republicans of Kentucky
to their senses? If it does not,
then there will be more bloodshed.
The Republican statesmen are at
a loss to know what to do with the
trusts, because they prefer that
those Organizations should be let
alone. They deem it necessary to
discuss the trust problem in order
that the public may think they are
really concerned about it, but they
are careful not to make a suggest
ion lest somebody may insist upon
it's adoption. Those trusts that
are taking advantage of their posi-
ton to raise prices beyond all
reason could be checked by taking
away Iu0 I)IOlSCllOh IhO SO'SAH-
ment affords them, but the Repub-
lican leaders are unwilling to do
even this little justice to the peo-
pie. The trusts will shortly be
asked to contribute to the Repub-
lican campaign fund, which is to
be devoted to the purpose of max
ing the second term a fact, and it
wouldn't answer, of course, for the
Republicans to proceed against
them farther than to expatiate
on the grave problem" they con-
stitute themselves. This doesn't
hurt the trusts, which are not look
ing for compliments but for cash,
apd the g. o. p, may be helped
through popular misoonstruction
of it's position. AS to the latter's
proposition, time will tell.
