The question Of adopting the new regu-
lar army uniform for the Minnesota Ma
tfonal guard will be dropped until after
the next annual encampment. 1t was eX-
pected the new uniform would be used
In the army on jan 1, but a recent order
delays it until July l, when every officer
must have supplied himself.
General William B. Bend. commanding
the Minnesota brigade. is DESTROYS OF hay
ing the regiments newly equipped before
the st. Louis trip in 1904. 1t Will only be
necessary to secure one new uniform, the
fatigue of an olive drab, similar to the
present khaki. The present undress uni
form, by the addition of the light blue
stripes and chevrons and braid extend
Ing around the collar and underneath the
right arm, may be used as the full dress.
The chevrons will be smaller and re-
yersed. A new cap will also be necessary
one with the dropping visor.
General Bend believes the Minnesota
troops may again be able to take the
honors as they did at the dedication Of the
worlds fair buildings in Chicago in 1898.
Colonel G. A. Van Duzee, Third regi-
ment, accompanied by Adjutant General
Libbey. Captain F: H. Mattson and Lieu
tenant r. D. O'Brien, went to Crookston
last week and mustered in the new COM
pany at that place, / of the Third regi-
ment.
1t is more than probable that the annual
encampments may be cut from ten days
to either seven or eight as is customary
In Iowa and Wisconsin. There are many
good reasons to be advanced for the
change. A very small percentage of the
men who come to camp remain for the
full ten days. The new plan, If adopted,
will compel all men to remain for the full
period.

of those who have been bound over to
that body, and has not gone into the

Special Election at GrlnneIl on a Fran.
chise for Light'and Heat. =.
GR1NNELL, .IoWA-A special cleo
ton will be held on Jan. 16. The city
council. has approved Of an ordinance
granting to the Grinnell Electric and
Heating company the right Sto build and
maintain plants for the production Of
light, power and heat, and to make what
ever use is necessary Of the streets and
alleys. There is not much doubt that the
voters will give their approval at the
special election. The company is a new
one. composed largely Of Chicago cap
italists, and is planning extensive i'm
provements to the plant. The new ordi-
nance requires the establishing of day
circuit within a year from it's adoption.
Four of the six cases against the Iowa
Central, which were brought. by farmers
living south of Grinnell, whose farms
had been damaged by the Strengthening of
the track, were settled at the recent term
Of the district court. The other two
cases have been continued until the jan
uary term. The Central was unable to
make settlement of these cases when the
change Of the roadbed was made and the
necessary land was condemned by a sher-
ifs jury. The owners at once appealed.
In each case, a larger sum than that al
lowed by the jury was awarded to the
owners, the increase ranging from 500
to $500. In addition, each man gets a
quit claim deed Immediately to the old
roadbed. and all the old fencing, ties and

LAKE DAMAGE SUITS
ALBERT Lea Wins One and the Trial of
Others Is Doubtful

ALBERT LEA, .MINN.-Citizens are
5ub1lant over the result Of the trial of one
OF Its lake damage SUITS. The case was
begun some years ago and was one of
Hfteen or twenty started by farmers who
live near the lake and own land which
they assert has been flooded as a result
OF the maintenance Of the lake at too
high stage by the city.
Some phase of the litigation has been
to the supreme court several times and
the costs are something enormous, but
last week the action of 'Jens p Nielsen
against the city was put on trial before
a jury Of. farmers. The history of the
dam that creates the lake, from it's incep-
ton In 1857 when it was established to
operate mill, was gone over, and Judge
kingsley pronounced it one of the most
perplexing and unique cases he had ever
tried. The jury was out about two hours
and brought in verdict for the defend
ant.
The court instructed the jury that after
an artificial body of water had been main
tanned for a period of twenty years, and
streets of a city and shore lines had been
established with a view to it's permanecy,
the body Of water ceased to be artificial
and became natural body OF water,
There are several other cases Of the
same character on the calendar but 1t is
not believed the attorneys for the plaintiffs
will be anxious about trying them at this
term. l-

must be procured on penalty OF prosecu-
ton. 1t is required by law that when

secure new license and q new bond, pay
ing the same fee as in the case of starting
