MAKES ANSWER.
Ladies of The Maccabees File
Answer in VIM. L. Hendry
Insurance Case.

Among the cases set for trial at the
present term of the district court is
that OF William L. Hendry against the
Ladies of the Maccabees of the
World. The action is brought to re-
cover the sum of 81, 600 the face of a
policy, which Mrs. Hendry, who died
early this year, carried in the order,
made payable to her husband, and
which the officials of the order have
eefused to pay. The answer to the
complaint was served to-day by Taylor
& jerks, Attorneys for the Macca-
bees. In it the claim is made that
in order to secure such insurance
in the order Mrs Inez A. Hendry
made false and untrue statements re-
garding her health; that she had con-
suited several physicians and that
she and her husband had been inform
en- that she was afflicted with diabetes
and that 1t was lncurable and would
result in her death, and that all of
said facts were at all times willfully,
wrongfully and Intentionally concealed
from the defendant and omitted from
said application.-St. Cloud Times.

Better Potatoes.

A purchaser of potatoes at St.
Cloud, Mr.. Thomas, has this to say
to the St. Cloud Times reporter, and
it is just as applicable in western
Stearns as in the eastern end of the
county:
Farmers will never realize what
they should from their potato crops so
long as the mixed varieties are raised
as now," said Mr.. Thomas in speak
ing of the market. Better varieties
of potatoes are the ones that bring the
fancy prices. For instance, Early
Ohios are now bringing seventy cents
a bushel at Princeton, while the mixed
varieties are bringing much less.
The Rural is another good variety
of potato for this soil. In due
time we have a proposition to
make to the responsible farmers of
Stearns and adjoining counties that
should interest them. In order to get
better varieties introduced and to do
away with the raising OF the mixed
varieties, we will have seed potatoes
for sale at reasonable figures. Where
it is not possible for farmers. who are
responsible, to pay cash for the pota-
toes, other arrangements will be made
that will be satisfactory to the man
who wants to raise good potatoes.
Another year, when farmers realize
trat there will be a market for potatoes
at St. Cloud as good as any in the
country, and that it pays to raise the
better varieties, we expect a much
larger business. Good potatoes Will
bring this about

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hou

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hour.
Few of US have an accurate idea of
the rate at which fish swim. When we
say that a person is las fast as por-
poise," we hardly associate quick
rate of swimming with that individual,
yet he and everybody else would like
to be able to get through the water as
rapidly, Porpoises have been seen to
dart round and round steamer travel
ing seventeen miles an hour, thus prov
ing their capacity to swim at greater
rate than that.
The dolphin may be placed on level
with the porpoise, but the bonito has
occasionally been known to approach
forty miles for short distances.
Herrings, in shoals, move steadily at
a rate between ten and twelve miles;
mackerel swim much faster, and both
trout and salmon go at rapid pace
when migrating up stream for spawn
ing.
Whales are not fish in the scientific
sense, but it is interesting to note that
these monsters swim at a rate Of six
teen miles an hour when excited. al
though their ordinary speed is estimat-
ed at between four and five miles.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
6ensons Plaster is Pains Mastsr.)

From the natural impulse to ''put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tices or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffty-fce highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of 25c. each.

NO CHANGE IN TARIFF.
Said the President Will So Recon-
mend to Congress-.

Minneapolis, Nov. ia Times spe-
cial from Washington says:
President Roosevelt is not going to
advocate in his message to congress
any juggling with the tariff during the
coming winter.
The president has made up his mind,
after conferences with statesmen and
business men from many parts of the
country, that the time is not ripe for
a revision of the tariff and that any
changes would Be dangerous and IN
settling to Business conditions.
Mr.. Roosevelt has written the tariff
part of his message, and men who
have seen it say that it is an admira-
BILE section to what seems likely to be
a memorable message.
The president goes into the ques-
ton fully, discusses the probable need
of changes in the tariff in the future,
but does not suggest that the plan of
Representative Babcock be followed
by changing schedules now for the
purpose of striking at the trusts.

CONSIDERING THE EVIDENCE.
SchIey Court Of Inquiry Meets in Sc
cret Session.

Cfet session..
Washington, Nov. 12.-At 10 a. m.
Admiral George Dewey and Rear Ad-
mirals Benham and Ramsay, compos-
ing the Schley court of inquiry, met at
their quarters in the Mclean building
behind closed doors and began the dis
cussion and consideration of evidence
brought forward in the investigation
concluded last week.
The sittings of the court are to be
strictly secret. Their present plan is
to hold daily sessions from 10 to 1890,
adjourning at the latter hour for the
day, though this arrangement may be
changed as the work of the body pro-
crosses. The court has two small
rooms for its work-one for the mem
bers themselves and the other for the
accommodation of clerical help. At
the door of the latter is stationed a
sergeant of marines whose uniform
would be the only surface suggestion
to a chance caller that something out
of the ordinary was going on in these
two little rooms.
The court adjourned at 1890 for
the day.
Admiral Dewey said after the ses-

how long it would be before the court
would be ready with it's findings. He
pointed out that it had taken nearly
eight weeks of searching examination
to produce the material in hand and
that the court could not be expected to
draw it's conclusions in hurry. When
asked if the work was divided in the
interests of expediency among the
members of the court the admiral
said:

Jumped the Track,

1.-THE east bound flyer on the Great
Northern railroad was derailed by a
defective switch at ST. Joseph, at 6:15
on Monday. The train had just passed
the station for which it had slowed
down to a speed of about six miles an
b 3ur.
The engine, mail, baggage, smokers
and day cars passed IN safety The
switch broke as the buffet car reached
! ~. and threw the car from the track.
The force of the outward swing turned
the car completely over and left it ly ing
bottom side up beside the track.
Tie two sleepers, which followed the
buffet car, were held by the coupling
aud were lifted bodily from their
trucks. They were thrown into the
ditch, but landed right side up, with
no more damage than sound jar and
the breaking of a few panes of glass.
The passengers on the forward cars
were iolted from their seats, but none
of them we're injured.
P. G. Flannery Minneapolis attOr
ney-who had been in this city during
the day on business was in the buffet

Reorsanize Consular Service on
Civil Service Basis-Federation OF
Labor Protests Against Arrest Of Its
Porto Riean Agent.
Washington, Nov. 12.-Elliott Du.
rand, Laverne w. Noyes and several
other Chicagoans representing the
National Business League have pre-
sented to the president a memorial
urging him to recommend in his mes
sage to congress the establishment
Of a department of commerce and in
dustries and also the reorganization
of the consular service on civil serv-
ice basis. Representative Boutelle of
Illinois arranged for future confer.
ence with the president on the subject
of the abrogafion of the treaty Of 1917
with Great Britain, by which building
of war vessels on the Great Lakes is
inhibited. Mr.. Boutelle is much inter
ested in this subject. He says that
on the Great Lakes and the antiquated
treaty of 1917 prevents them from
sharing the work of building smaller
vessels OF the navy with the seaboard
shipyards.
The president said it would be man
ifestedly improper for him to tell what
he would recommend in his message
but assured the members of the dele
cation that any suggestions they might
make would receive due consideration.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, pro-
tested to the president against the ar
rest of Santiago Iglesias, who was
sent to Porto Rico by the American
Federation to organize the working
men of the island. Mr.. Iglesias was
arrested, according to a cablegram re-
ceived from him by Mr.. Gompers, as
he stepped ashore at Sam Juan. He
W2ls placed in Jail. The nature of the
charge against him is not known.
President Roosevelt Immediately sent
al inquiry to Governor Hunt aus to the
cause of the arrest.
President Roosevelt has not been
able yet to find team of horses to his
liking. He has examined ait least a
dozen pairs. but all show some defect.
His representative has visited the
horse market but reports that he has
found no suitable pair with long tails.
The president is opposed to the prac-
tice of docking tails and will not con-
slider the question of buying banged
tailed horses no matter what other
qualification they may have.
