The Navy Department received a cable
gram from Commander Sargent of the
Scorpion this morning announcing the de-
parture of that vessel from La Guayra

gent, it is, of course, understood that
Minister Loomis is aboard the Scorpion and
will be transferred at San Juan to a mer-
chant steamer for conveyance to the United
States. The minister will arrive at San
Juan Wednesday evening or Thursday
morning, and if he meets a steamer there
promptly should be in New York the Thurs
day following, the 18th instant.

AN INDIAN CHRISTMAS,

The Pioneer Press of last Satur-
day contained the following:
1.-The members of the Medakato-
wan tribe of Indians and the Daco-
tabs made their annual pilgrimage
to st. Paul last evening to attend
the Christmas entertainment pro
vided for them at the Church of the
Good Shepherd. The services be-
gan at 5 clock, when evening song
was celebrated in the Dacotah
tongue by the rector, Rev. w. c..
Pope. After the service at the
church all repaired to the chapel,
where a Christmas spread, prepared
by the women of the parish, was
served. Later in the evening the
Christmas tree was lighted and each
guest received boxes of candy, or
anges and some substantial gift.

were all that were required to grow
a good pasture OF rape. It grew
better during the months of May
and June than in August and Sep
TENDER. In fact May and June and
in the fall months it grew the
best. It was best, he said, to grow
a field of rape and then feed it, then
SOW another field rather than try to
get three or four crops off the same
piece. Corn should be limited in
feeding.
At this point it was announced
that the bus was waiting to take
Mr.. Shaw to the St. Louis train, and
he had to stop talking about the
subject which the farmers were
interested in. A vote of thanks was
extended to Mr.. Shaw.

FARMERS MEETING.
Prof. Shaw of the Experimental
Station Was Present,

The Redwood County Dairy asso-
citation held a meeting at the court
house in this city last Thursday
afternoon and Friday morning. It
was the first meeting that the asso-
citation has held in Redwood Falls
this winter. It was quite largely
attended, considering the fact that
it was not thoroughly advertised.
1t was expected that both Profess
sors Shaw and Hacker of the Ex-
detrimental Station would be pres
ent, but only Mr.. Shaw showed up
when the st. Louis train arrived.
The meeting was announced to COM
mence at 10 a. M, but owing to the
speaker coming on the st. Louis
road it was about 2:30 clock when
the meeting began. The speaker
was introduced by A. G. Miller,
secretary of the association in the
absence of Andrew Stewart, the

possession Of the land in question.
enjoying all the emoluments arising
from the cultivation and by reason
of the improvements made on the
tract during the time that Nelson
had possession of it. On October
9th, last, however, Benham, with
out the knowledge or consent of Mrs.
Gordon, paid the Winona & ST. Peter
Land Co. the balance due upon the
contract, and the company gave him
an absolute deed of conveyance to
the land, which has grown to be
worth at least 81, 000
On July 10th last, about three
months before the absolute deed of
conveyance was secured from the
land company. Albert Benham and
his wife. Fl. r. Benham, mortgaged
the land in question to the General
Savings Bank of Scott county, Iowa,
to secure the payment of $4,000 bor-
rowed from the bank at that time.
Owing to the fact that all the trans
actions were in the name of Albert
Benham, the attorneys for Mrs.
Gordon admit that this mortgage is
a valid lien upon the l6O acres.
Cy. Benham is in possession of the
farm as a tenant.
The prayer of Mrs. Gordon, made
to the district court, is that the land
be adjudged to be held in trust for
her by the defendant, Albert Ben:
ham, subject to the mortgage, and
that she be given judgment conpell-
ing Benham to assign the tract to
her, and that Cy. Benham be dis
possessed from occupying the same.

whatever on the premises. She
also asks that Albert Benham be re-
quired TO make an accounting to

from Nelson to apply on the note
and contract, and from the rents and
profits received from the land dur
ing all of his occupancy, and that he
be required to account for the

mortgaging the farm, less MS actual
expenses and a reasonable COM
pensation for services while acting
as her agent.
The case. will come up at the
spring term of the district court,
and is likely to attract great deal
OF attention, on account of the Ben
hams having numerous tenants on
lands in this county.
Allegations not made in the com
plant are that Benham invested the
money in two different tracts of
land, but the title to the other tract
is SO vested that it would be useless
for Mrs. Gordon to attempt to re-
cover on that tract. It is also adj
mitted that Benham paid a portion
Of the original amount back to Mrs.
Gordon-about one-half.
Mrs. Gordon now resides with
her husband on farm near Hol-
lingsford, Stearns county.

WORTH INITIATING,

The benefits of organization
for a specific purpose has sell
dom been more forcibly eXem-
plified and more protitably en-
ployed than in the case of the
Cotton Growers Association of
Alachua county. This associa-
tion, composed of the farmers
and cotton growers of that
county, organized for the pur-
pose of holding their cotton uu-
til such time as they could re
ceive a stated sum per pound
for the product of their labors.
They demanded twenty cents
per pound and a day or two ago
they received one cent per pound
more than they demanded, or
twenty-one cents per pound for
the entire output of their sew
eral farms.
We would suggest that the
farmers in other counties than
Alachua might do we'll by emu
lating the example set before
them.

ABOUT COTTON FACTORIES.

ABOUT COTTON fACiOuEo'
1.-THE Lord helps him who
helps himself" is a proverb as
cd as Holy Writ and is as true
to day as it was when written
bv the inspired scribe. 1t is not
our intention to preach sermon
or deliver a discourse, but we
will try in a feeble way to show
wherein the citizens-the monied
citizens-of Madison are stand
ing in their own light and at
the same time hindering the
proper advancement of the
co immunity.
1t is a we'll known fact that a
vast amount of the finest Sea
Island cotton is raised each year
within the borders of our county.
1t is also a fact that in the coun-
ties contiguous to us on the
South and East quantities OF the
staple is yearly shipped to other
markets and eventually finds its
way to the spinners and cotton
factories of northern and other
States. The spinners of the
North are beginning to realize
that with factories in the South
the producing section-the
raw product can be more easily
and manufactured with
less expense. In recent years
many of our Southern States
have become the locations for
large and expensive manufacto-
ries, and the towns which have
been so favored are reaping the.
benefits which accrue from the
increased population, taxable
values and other incidentals.
Our town at present affords
one of the highest markets for
Sea Island cotton in the coun.
try. We have, perhaps, the
most extensive ginnery for that
staple in the world, and smaller
Establishments which add their
quota to the general prosperity.
But these ginneries do nothing
more than prepare the staple
for the manufactures where it
is woven into cloth and spun
into thread. How much better
it would be if after the work of
preparation is accomplished, the
,taple could be Immediately
urned over for manufacture to
home manufacturers.
Other towns are reaching out
for such manufactures, why not

other institution is, in anything
like the same degree, such a

drance to bad men. For the
former the newspaper smooths
their way and makes their road

the newspaper is a lion 10 the
path. The people of America
