From w > .ay's Daily.

Albert Lea college has gone into the
hands of a receiver. At ten o'clock this
morning the transcript of the Judgment
in favor of Jay Henry Long of this city
in the sum of $l7675 was filed in the
office of the clerk of the court of Free
born county Ten minutes later the trus-
tees of the college made voluntary as
signment to President Freeman of the
Security National bank of Albert Lea
for the benefit of creditors.
This action has alarmed various credit
ors of the college and it has been decid-
ed by them to throw the college into the
federal bankruptcy court on the ground
that in making the assignment the trus-
tees committed an act of bankruptcy.
Why the college should make an as
signment many of them fail to COM
prehend. The college has real estate to
the value of $4,000 besides an endow
ment of $500, and the debts scarcely
amount to $4,000.
George E. Dyer of the firm of Long &
Dyer, representing several creditors, left
for Albert Lea today for the purpose of
commencing involuntary bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.

SEEKS TO F0RECL0SE.
Second Mortgage Is Recorded Before
the First One.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Thomas o. Jones has commenced an
action in the district court against Z. u.
Swanson and wife and his father, Fred
erick D. Swanson, and his brother-n-
law. Phil Lease, to foreclose mortgage
for $3.50 which he holds on the lot IN
West Mankato containing the Swanson
ice house.
It appears that in 1899, Mr.. Jones
loaned c. G. Swanson $3.50 on the ice
house property and took mortgage for
it, which he did not for some reason
place on record. A year later, Swanson
gave a second mortgage to his father
on the same property, for $500, and this
was subsequently bought by Mr.. Lease
and was placed on record, thus making
it first mortgage for all practical pur
poses.
The property is said to be not WORT
more than $500 or so, and Mr.. Jone
seeks to establish the priority of HI
claim. Thomas and Evan Hughes are IA
attorneys, w. R. Geddes appears for tn
Swansons, and Pfau & Pau have bee
retained by Mr.. Lease. All OF the as
PENDANTS have answered.

down the hill, and young Deitz was
thrown to the ground by the chain, which

BABY FATALLY INJURED
Distressing Accident Occurred Near
Eagle Lake Last Evening.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Distressing indeed was the accident
by which the infant boy of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Brandt living between Madison
and Eagle Lakes was killed last night. The
parents had gone out with their baby
Frank, aged twenty-one months and their
four year old boy Walter to the home of
neighbor, Herman Claussen. While the
parents were being entertained in the
front room of the house by their hosts,
the Brandt children together with Mr..
Claussen's ten year old son, Elmer, were
playing, in the back room.-- 1t was just
about dark when the Claussen boy pick
ed up shotgun which was cooked While
he was in the act of lowering the trig-
gers the gun was jerked by little Walter
Brandt. Between them they discharged
the firearm, and the contents few direct
ly into the thigh of the baby, severing
the limb almost completely. The par
ents alarmed by the SOUND OF the us
charge rushed in and picked up the
screaming, writhing little form. The
wound was bandaged up as well as could
be done under the circumstances, and the
child was hurried off in buggy to Madi-
son Lake. Such medical aid as could be
procured there was entirely inadquate
and the injured infant was taken to the
st. Joseph's hospital. The bleeding could
not be stopped with all the efforts of the
parents and the child really bled to death
on the way. He survived about three
hours after being brought to the hos
pital. The body was taken early This
morning to the Klein's undertaking room
The Claussen boy states that he die
not know the gun was loaded.

JUDGE NELSON STRICKEN.
Distinguished Jurist Is Very III at St.
Luke's Hospital.
EroY,, Tuacdov,s noilv

Judge Rensselaer, r. Nelson, Minneso-
ia pioneer, associate justice of the terri
torial supreme court and for many years
Judge Of the United States district court
for Minnesota, is sick at ST. Luke's hos
pital, ST. Paul He was stricken with an
acute attack yesterday afternoon at the
Minnesota club.
Judge Nelson, although he has been
able to be about the streets, has not
been well for several days, and yester-
day he spent the morning in his room at
the Minnesota club. Shortly after one
o'clock he came down stairs and sudden
" became worse. DR.. H. F. O'Brien was
summoned, and Judge Nelson was per-
suaded to go to st. Luke's hospital,
where he was attended by his regular
physician, DR.. ]. T. Christison.
Judge Nelson is suffering from infam-
nation of the bladder, and although his
illness is not thought to be serious, his
physicians said he needed the care af-
forded at hospital. On Sunday after
noon he called on his physician, who ad-
vised him to remain indoors.
Judge Nelson has distinguished rec
ord as a Judge and is an authority on
federal jurisprudence. He came to this
state from New York in 1850, when Min
nesota was territory. President James
Buchanan appointed him associate JUS
tice of the territorial supreme court IN
April, 1857. He held this position until
|. the admission of Minnesota into the
union, y
President Buchanan appointed Judge
Nelson to the United States district
court for the district of Minnesota on
Nav IL, 1853, and the senate confirmed
his appointment without even the Gus
tomary reference to committee He at
once entered upon his duties and served
continuously for thirty eight years, until
his SEVENTEEN birthday, in May, 1885,
when ne retired. At that time he was
the Oldest federal judge on the bench.
Judge Nelson was mentioned as cand
date for the presidential nomination OF
the Democratic ticket in 1880, wheI
| many leaders of the Democratic party
. in New York were opposed to the re
nomination of Samuel j. Tilden, ant
were casting about for a presidentia
E candidate who could carry New York an
4 unite the party. Judge Nelson's nam
n was in great favor, and it is said ina
he might have been nominated if ne ha
9 made an effort.
o Since his retirement from the benc
r Judge Nelson has lived a quiet lie IN .

TriumphsJof Science Are Mentioned
Before Social Science Club.
Profs. HoItz and Cox Read Papers on
an Interesting Subject.
Radium and the Wonderful PGssibili.
ties 1t Opens Up.
Law of Heredity, Prevention of Dis
ease, and Other Matters.
From Wednesdays Daily.


The Social Science club held well
attended meeting last night, and two
very interesting papers were read on the
subject, "The Past Year in Science"
The first paper was on physical
Science" and was prepared by Prof. F.
L. Holtz. The greater part of the paper
was devoted to a description of radium,
the new metal that has been discovered
recently, and which is being talked about
so much. 1t was discovered by lady,
Madame Cure, and may lead to the
abandonment of the atomic theory. 1t
may be that radium will lead scientists
to believe in the divisability of an
atom, which has heretofore been consider
ed the smallest possible unit. 1t used
to be the dream of alchemists that gold
could be made out of other metals, but
science has said that there can be no
transmutation of metals. Radium may
lead in time to the discovery of a meth
cd of transmutation of metals, and gold
may be created out of lead.
A little radium as big as pin point
VIII th~ow off heat and light for hun
dreds of thousands of years, but may
eventually disappear. Radium is so
scarce that it is worth three thousand
times what gold is worth. Some think
that it is stored electricity.
Prof. Holtz also spoke about the prog
ress made toward making flying ma
chimes, and said that results thus far
do not lead to the expectation that a
practical machine will be made in the
near future. Those that have been at
all successful have been essentially bal
looms.
Prof. Cox's paper was on biological
Science" he spoke of the interest that
is being taken in the study of the laws
of heredity. He referred to the progress
being made in the treatment of diseases
and instanced the discovery that the
mosquito is responsible for the spread
ing of yellow fever and malaria, and the
progress made in combating the form
er by destroying the mosquitoes. The
modern treatment of tuberculosis was
touched upon, and the success that has
been had in effecting cures in New Next
co and elsewhere. Isolation, open air
and the recognition of the infectiousness
of the disease have led to good results
and reduced the per centage of cases.
Physicians now consider typhoid fever
the hardest disease to handle. 1t is
caused by impure water. The case of
Butler, Pa, was cited.
Prof. Cox referred to the discovery of
the remains of human beings who lived
in an antique period. The oldest remains
discovered have been in Java, where it
has been ascertained that the human
race lived prior to the glacial period.
The only way to distinguish i..S between the
! remains of human beings and apes is by
the measurement of the skulls.
The discussion of the papers was limit
ed to the asking and answering OF ques'
lions.
