Another COMPLAINT was made 70

Another complaint was made re-
garding couple of boys of this city,
but the grand jury likewise turned
this testimony to the wall.
The Jurors received their war
rants promptly Friday morning,
Clerk Warner and Deputy Everett
having their vouchers already for
them.
On the civil side the bottom fell
completely out of the calendar, as
earlier indications predicted that it
would. Juries were called in only
four cases. That of the Laird-Nor-
ton Yards at Walnut Grove against
Mertie and V. L. VanCise was de-
cided early, the jury returning in
favor OF the defendants. A little
trouble arose between the plaintiffs
agent and one of defendants after
the verdict, and the trouble cost
one OF the parties $14 in the munich
pal court. Clague & Emerson we're
attorneys for the defendants.
In the case of Cone & Dryden VS..
H. Lohse, an action to recover for
commission, Bowers & Howard got
a motion through instructing the
jury to find for the defendant. The
two cases Of A. M. and Margaret
Dennlstoun, separate plaintiffs,
against the town of Paxton, were
both dismissed, for the reason that
the supervisors had never issued
the road order. Somerville & o.
sen, on one side, and Bowers &,
Howard, on the other, both wonder
ed what struck them when this fact
was made known.
The case of Adolph Knueppel VS..
Louis Goede was settled before it
was reached, and the quick work of
Friday on the foregoing three cases.
was the cause of the case of Peter
Prokosch VS.. Wenzel Tauer being
thrown out of court. Attorney Lau-
don summoned his witnesses for
Saturday morning. The case was
ready for the attorneys Friday, and
Mr.. Laudon not being ready the
court granted the motion for dis
missal. The case may be commenc-
ed over again.
The above was the last jury case
tried, that of w. A. Anderson VS..
Joseph Gutter ct al haying been
continued.
Court adjourned just before din
ner Monday, and Judge Weber
left for his home in New Ulm on the
evenings train.

Hon. Nils Nyquist of Blue Earth
county has announced that he will
again be a candidate for reelection
as member of the lower branch OF
the legislature from that county, and
some of the newspapers are poking
fun at his candidacy. Why should
they? Mr.. Nyquist has been an
ideal Observation-Disclosures, fear
less, conscientious, advocating the
good, checking the bad-a credit to
the state and to his county. He
should be kept in the legislature as
long as he wishes to remain there.

A SHORT TERM.
Grand Jury Returns One Indictm emit
Few Civil Cases Tried.

The shortest term of a district
court ever held in Redwood county
Tor many a year was that which has
just come to a close, lasting in all
only about five days.
The grand jury was charged We'd
nesday, at 1870 O'Clock, after S. G..
Peterson Of this city was named as
foreman. That body got down tc
work and spent all of Wednesday
afternoon, all of Thursday, and part
OF Friday morning investigating
complaints, and out of all the charg-
es made only one Indictment was
returned, and that Indictment was
against person who once resided
in the central western portion of
the county, and who is now a fugi-
tive from justice.
A large portion of the time of the
grand jury was taken up by wit
nesses regarding the death of a par
ty named Steffen, who was found
dead on a road leading out of Wa
basso about year ago. At the
time of the death there were no evil
dences OF foul play-in fact, all the
evidence presented to the coroner's
inquiry was that he was Jared out
OF his wagon and killed by the tum-
BILE he received, but since that time
there have been rumors in the air.
all to the effect that Steffen met with
foul play, and these rumors we're
not very creditable to parties who
had been with the deceased earlier
in the evening. County Attorney
Howard determined to have these
rumors stopped, or some one indict-
ed, at the November term, with the
result that not one of the witnesses.
or all OF them jointly, had evidence
to prove that Steffen met with foul
play, and hence the grand jury, af-
ter considerable time had been alb
sorbed, concluded to drop the mat
ter. The evidence showed, howev-
er, that certain party, when under
the influence of liquor, had been
making some very rash statements
about the case.
A Wabasso liquor case was inves-
tigated, the accusation against the
one dealer being that of keeping op-
en- on Sunday, but the witness in
the case was not sufficiently strong
In his testimony to warrant the
grand jury, two members of which
body are leading citizens of Wabas-
SO, and knew the parties implicated,
in returning an Indictment.

In the case of Finnegan VS.. Ca
mile A. Brown, litigation which
has been pending in this county for
six years the supreme court last
Friday reversed the judgment OF
the lower court, which was in favor
of Finnegan, and practically settles
the case in favor of Mrs. Brown S
husband. The case involved the IT,
tie to tract of land in the south
western part of the county. Mr..
Finnegan says that he is not likely
to come "agin- agin" in this case.
Threshing seems to have been
very nearly finished in all sections
of Redwood county, with the excep-
ton of around Vesta. NJ. Morley of
Sheridan was in town last Thurs
day and said that only three farms
around him had grain in stack, and
the machine was at one of those
farms that day. Peter Amberg of
Delhi township, the east end, was
in the same day, and stated that
threshing was finished in that
region. W. J. Smithers returned
from trip to Vesta, and southwest
of that town, and he says that al
most every farm still has grain in
stack.
Ivanhoe is knocked out and Lake
Benton is once more the county
seat of Lincoln county, and will con

cording to decision handed down
by the supreme court last Friday,
which says that the election of last
year, which resulted favorably to
Ivanhoe, was improperly called, the
notices of the petition not having
been posted as required by law, and
the commissioners, therefore, had
no authority to call the election.
Senator Somerville took this case
for Lake Benton, on a big contingent
fee, after all other attorneys refused
to have anything further to do with
the case, and the fact that he gets a
big fee and won over John Lind,
who represented Ivanhoe, causes

Mr.. Loud, we are Informed, is like
~ to be the delegate Of the United

for that honorable mission is the
cause of his remarkable disclosure as

Displeased His Royal Kinsman.

Prince Bernard of Sake Meiningen,
who has just resigned the command of
the Sixth army corps. is understood to
have taken the step in consequence of
the Kaiser's disapprovaI of the general
orders which he recently issued on the
subject of the maltreatment of soldiers
by their superiors. especially by non
commissioned officers, and regarding
drunkenness.
The Emperor is reported to take the
ground that these general orders Is
sued by his brother-in- constitute an
admission to the public and to the world
in general that maltreatment of soldiers
and drunkenness are both of them suf-
ficiently prevalent in the German army
to call for vigorous denunciation on the
part of one of its principal commanders,
and as the prince did not agree with
the Emperor about the matter, he has
resigned, and will now probably break
up the home which he and the princess
have had at Breslau for the past ten
years
The prince and the Kaiser have never
got on particularly well together, and
the Emperor does not relish the DISPOSE
ton to satire, the keen sense of ridi-
cule. and the sometimes rather pointed
witticisms of his clever and brilliant
eldest sister. II was, indeed, because
they did not get along well together
with the Kaiser that the prince and

Always a Democrat.

Five years ago Mr. Folk went to ST.
Louis from Tennessee He was a Demo-
crat. not particularly outspoken in his
adherence to the doctrines and tenets
of that party, but Democrat, and a
lawyer OF some ability, yet with little
acquaintance and practice. This need
not be particularly surprising, as he
was a young man who had gone to a
large city for the purpose of making his
fortune. He attended a prominent Pres
byterian church.
Two years after he had taken UP his
abode in St Louis there occurred the
big street car employees strike, which
for many weeks tied up the traction
company's lines, causing much disorder
and great inconvenience to the travelling
public Folks pastor invited the strikers
to his church and delivered a sermon to
them; it made a favorable impression
and the clergyman suggested settlement
by arbitration. The strikers agreed and
Folk was designated to draft the terms.
While his plan of settlement was not
adopted, it pleased the street car en-
ployes, and Folk suddenly found himself
popular with the laboring element of
the city. People talked about him,
whereas but a short time before his
name was unknown beyond a small cir
Gle of acquaintances.

Something About Sweet Things.

The candy business has grown to
wonderful proportions in the past few
years said John G. Huyler. of New
York. at the Arlington, this morning.
The consumers have educated their
taste for the CONNECTIONS to such an
extent that the finest made goods are
required to suit them. In years gone
by, the girl was favored who received
her candy in a paper bag. Now. the
kind of candy she used TO eat is looked
upon with scorn, and she insists upon
deliberately decorated boxes, and the
most expensive goods. Although the
manufacturers of candy have greatly
increased in number in the past few
years. the demand has kept in advance,
and every manufacturer has more bust
ness than he can conveniently handle.

ton with business. as l came over to

1t has been decided that the medical
support the first work issued under the
auspices of the recently organized Car
negie Institution. This is the Index
Medicus," a work which has been allowed
TO lapse several years because of the
lack of interest in it on the part of the
doctors of the country
AT the last meeting the trustees Of
the institution voted a publication ap-
preparation of $l0,O 900 annually for three
years, during which a test can be made
as to the real professional desire for the
work.
When this became known the medical
profession responded with rush of sub
scriptions. The work, as its name i'm
plies. is nothing more than an index
to all publications on medical matters.

The work is one in which there is lit
