A WIFE'S AFFECTIONS.
S. S. Black asks $1,000 of DR.. Hunt, of
Blue Earth.

Three Mankato attorneys are en-
gagged in a case of more than ordinary
interest that come to trial at Blue
Earth Tuesday and may occupy two
or three days The suit is one to re-
cover So, 900 damages for the alienation
of wife's affections. The plaintiff is
S. S. Black, retired business man,
and the defendant is DR.. F. N. Hunt, a
we'll known physician. Both are old
residents of Blue Earth, and the case is
attracting much attention, DR.. Hunt
was year ago treating Mrs. Black,
and her husband alleges that it was at
this time that her affections were
alienated from him. Both Mrs Black
and DIR. Hunt deny the allegations of
the plaintiff, and especially that i'm
proper relations have existed between
them at any time.
Numerous witnesses have been sum-
moned, and some of the testimony may
be of a rather racy nature, so it is
IuuOIou. .. w. OIdudLu, VI Dio0
Earth, and w. N. Plymat, of this city,
will appear for the plaintiff, and Sever
ance and Andrews and Frank Putnam,
the latter of Blue Earth, will appear
for the defendant. The action will be
tried by jury before Judge Quinn.
1t is rather remarkable feature of
the case that Mr.. and Mrs. Black still
reside together. They have no child
rem while DR.. Hunt has family.

when his duties are directed along a
broad practical course in the develop
man toward higher type of Christian
citizenship. While we all may not
agree with Mr.. Beattie in the particu-
lar view he has taken of the Christian
mans duty in practical life, it cannot
be denied but that his work and the
influence he has exerted has been for the
best interests of the city, and has done
much to strengthen public sentiment
toward higher type of Christian life.
His is personality that has been
strongly felt in our city's life, and .the
departure of such man is always a
loss to the community.
Sunday mornin G Mr. Beattie ad-
dressed large congregation in what
was practically his closing sermon. In
the evening several of the other
churches of the city united in union
service at the Presbyterian church as a
farewell tribute of the appreciation
in which they held him and the work
he has accomplished. This meeting was
arranged for by the other pastors with
the church session, without the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Beattie, he not being in
formed until all arrangements had
been completed.
Excellent music was furnished by a
choir composed of Mrs. Fl. L. Schmitt,
Mrs. 81. A. Patterson, President g. H.
Cooper and DR. J. S. Holbrook In the
pulpit besides Rev Beattie were Revs.
Works, Edmands, Evans and Adams.
After the reading of the scriptures and
prayer by Rev. Adams, and the MAX
ing of the several usual announce
ments, Rey. Beattie stated that his
brother ministers had formed sort of
conspiracy upon him and that the
meeting was in their hands and would
be taken charge of by Rev. Adams.
Mr.. Adams then introduced Rev. S D.
Works who addressed the large con
gregation with few short remarks,
He spoke of the changes that are going
on in the industrial world, and the new
demands that are constantly made up
en- men in consequence thereof. The
specialist, he said, is growing
more and more to be the prominent fea
ture OF our life. Every phase of our
life, both industrial, commercial and
educational is being dominated by
specialists. He then briefly pointed
out what he believed would be demand.

nearly seven years. 1t has been seven
years of great growth for the church in
various ways. A fine edifice which had
been started, has been completed and
paid for in spite of the extremely hard
times which existed during the first
years of his labors here. The work OF
the church has been greatly extended

that this assemblage of pastors and
church congregations was an indica-

Rev. Beattie made few closing re-.

edged the kindness extended toward
him by his fellow ministers and re-
ferred to the pleasant relations that had
existed between them. His stay in the
west had been most pleasant one, and
would be remembered through the re-

relations with his church during his
stay here and with the other churches
as of most pleasant nature. Said he

here. He extended his heartfelt thanks
to his fellow workers for their many
acts of kindness to him.
