Beware of the Jollier.

The Norman County Herald intimates
that the Democratic editors just love
Bob Dunn. And it ''does not believe that
any of the Democratic or opposition pa
pers of Minnesota have been prompted
to say, kind words about Bob Dunn by
any other motives and feelings than
those which are due to the fraternal re-
fations. The press of Minnesota num-
befs among its members number of
brainy men and Mr.. Dunn stands high
up in the list"
So far SO good; but some inquisitive
person may inquire whether the Demo
cratic brethren would continue to dis
play that fraternal and brotherly love
were Bob Dunn to receive the Republican
nomination for governor? 1t has always
been one of the chief characteristics of
the Democratic press to deal out con-
siderable taffy to certain men in the Re
publican ranks during the period those
men are in the throes of an anti-con-
vention campaign. Once they are nomi-
mated, however, the opposition changes
its tune and all their faults "are conned
and by rote cast into their teeth"
Beware of these false 'jolliers" and
'Ftaffy" singers of the same old Democ-
racy.

DoINGs IN SPRING ISLAND.

Mrs. Richard Jones gave progressive
crokinole Saturday evening to about
twenty-five friends. The games were
preceded by fine supper, roast turkey
fanked with and followed by most of
the other good things of earth. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sorenson drew head prizes, while
the boobies were accepted with meek
gratitude by Master Lloyd Jessup and
Mrs. Dornberg. Spring Island won the
prizes, but the blue ribbons for eating
the most turkey was carried off by Man
kato guests. But of course city people
can't have such swell spreads three times
day as your lucky country cousins do.

points.
A great deal of praise is due the club,
and especially is this true of Messrs. A.
E. Quimby, F. HI. Barnes and DR.. War
ham who were largely instrumental in
the success of the bonspiel
The attendance was the largest ever
had at bonspiel in southern Minneso-
ia, a fact that speaks we'll for the hos
pitality of the Thistle club.
The Thistle club is as enterprisihg an
organization of it's kind as ever existed.
A fine covered rink in fine condition for
curling and it was here that the bonspiel
occurred. The club rents the ground on
which this rink is located, but purchased
lot in another part of the village which
will be the location of the rink as soon
as a transfer can be conveniently made.
The club has thirty five members in good
standing.
1t is question whether another bon
spiel will be held in this part of the
state this winter The Mankato curl
ers are talking of holding one in their
city if the cold weather holds out two
weeks more.

An Encouraging Statement.

Judge Collins does not talk like a
man who is about to withdraw from the
gubernatorial campaign. To the twin
city papers yesterday he made the fol-
lowing encouraging statement:
~At no time during the campaign have
1 been better satisfied with the appear
ance of things in Ramsey and Hennepin
counties than / am today. The report
in The Globe today that have thought
of Withdrawing from the field and that
there was also possibility of withdraw
ing my resignation, is utterly false.
There is not word of truth in it. My
resignation was placed in the hands of
the governor and was accepted. General
Douglas was appointed to succeed me,
and he has in possession his notice of
appointment from Governor Van SAINT,
taking effect April l. Let me say that
was under fire before the editor of The
Globe was born; that I did not run then,
and I do not propose to run now.
81 am perfectly satisfied, once the peo-
pie thoroughly understand the issue in
this campaign, that I will be the sue
cessful candidate, and propose to see
that they get thorough understanding
before the campaign Closes"

HELD UP THE CLERK.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The general store of John Berns at
Shakopee was robbed in most approved
highwayman's style last evening at $3.50
o'clock by two lumberjacks, who secured
5000 in cash. The men forced the clerk
at the point of revolver to open the safe
and cash drawer and escaped with their
booty.
The men had been hanging around the
store all evening, and when one of the
clerks stepped out, they covered the
other clerk, Fred Berns, with revolver,
ordering him to hand over the money.
Berns was taken by surprise, and COM
piled with their demands.
Their descriptions have been tele-
graphed to the surrounding towns. The
men are described as being about six
feet tall, between twenty -four and TWEEN
ty-eight years old, roughly dressed. They
wore sweaters and had their caps pull
ed down over their eyes.

Humane Killing.

For the first time in the history of
the referendum in Switzerland, the peo-
pie have enacted law that had been re-
jected by the national legislature. This
requires that all cattle slaughtered for
food shall be anesthized before the
deathdealing blow is given.
This is an innovation and it certainly
appeals to the humane side of a person.
A writer in The Duluth Herald, in COM
menting on this Switzerland idea, says
it has been a cause for wonder why
those people who. designate as cruel sport
the shooting of wild animals and birds
should so seldom protest against the Gus
tomary methods of slaughtering domes-
tic animals. The humane method of the
farmer who shoots his hogs in vital
spot in the head before bleeding them ap-
peals to every humane person and it is
strange that the plan does not have more
adherents. Anyone who has witnessed
the usual method of slaughtering pigs,
sheep and cattle cannot but feel that it
is unnecessarily harsh and cruel.
Many humanitarians who protest
against the shooting of game, eat, with
out any conjunction of spirit, the flesh
of domestic animals that have been
killed with needless cruelty.
There is a great deal of inconsistency
in the discussions of this question. AS
long as flesh is considered proper food,
animals and birds must be killed. There
is no other way to obtain it. And it
would seem to be much more humane
to shoot deer and end its sufferings
quickly than it is to stick hog with
knife and allow it to suffer from five
to fifteen minutes and even longer while
its blood is slowly ebbing away.

Fine TechnecaIities in the Law.

1t was but few weeks since that
the press of the country was hurting bad
epithets in the direction of Missouri, all
because the supreme court of that state
rendered a decision which threw out up
on the world bad lot of boodlers. Now
the same newspapers have turned their
batteries i'll the direction of Minnesota,
for the reason that this states supreme
court has rendered a decision favorable
to the notorious eDoc" Ames. This is no
more than Minnesota could expect. Col
onel Watterson is among the editors
who pays his respects to our supreme
court in recent editorial in The Louis
vile Courier Journal, wherein the fiery
southerner says that Minnesota seems to
have a supreme court as merciful to
convicted grafters as that of Missouri.
In the latter state, after the exposure
of the most bare faced bribery and cor
ruption in the legislature, as well as in
the city government of st. Louis, and
the conviction of prominent persons
through the fearless work of District At
torney Folk, the supreme court has re-
versed a number of cases, tending to
neutralize the good work of the vigorous
prosecutor. And now comes the highest
court of Minnesota following in the same
line. The case of Mayor Ames of Min
neapolis, charged with receiving brides
from keepers of disorderly resorts, has
filled the newspapers with sensational
matter for long time. After his con-
viction and while other indictments were
pending against him, he fled the state,
coming to this place and Indiana, and
then hiding in New Hampshire, where,
after time, he was arrested and taken
back by extradition to Minneapolis. His
case was carried to the supreme court,
where ne obtained a reversal The court
quashed the indictment upon the princi
pal ground that it charged that he re-
ceived fund contributed by several per-
sons, while the evidence showed that he
took money from separate individuals
Such air-splitting, defined by the bar as
sticking in the back, may be technical
law, but it operates as defeat of JUS
tice, which cannot but be encouraging to
criminals in this widespread form of ras-
cality.
Criminals are led to exclaim, eve care
not what the laws are so long as SUI
preme courts can pick out the technical
tiles"

HIS LIFE WORK is DER.
Death OF Edward r. NettIeton at Madi-
son Lake Last Evening.

Edward F. Nettleton, father of Prof.
Geo. F. Nettleton of the Mankato Com
mercial college, died last evening, about
S:45, at his home at Madison Lake. For
several months he had been suffering
from paralysis and other ailments, and
his heart for the last few days refused
to perform it's functions properly. His
life, however, came to an end somewhat
unexpectedly.
Mr.. Nettleton was seventy-four years
of age He was born and reared in New
York, and had bred in him those quail
ties of thrift, industry, sobriety and pa
triotism that are found so abundantly
among the sons of "old York state"
His early life was spent on the farm,
and in part on the Erie canal. The Erie
canal in those days, before the war,
was busy place and afforded a school
of rather rigid discipline. In that school
Mr.. Nettleton took many lessons, and
gave as many and as good lessons as he
received. The result was that he learn
ed to control himself, to command
others, and acquired great self-reliance
and independence of action.
Mr.. Nettleton was a soldier of the
Civil War. 1t was his regiment, the
Tenth Minnesota, that took the Sioux
Indians from Fort Smelling to st. Louis,
and to the reservation up the Missouri
river Among these Indians was the
son of Little Crows Ever since those
early days he was man who feared not
to hold his own opinions and to ex-
press and defend them at all proper
times. He was positive in his political
views, and was always active in the To-
cal governmental affairs wherever he
lived
Coming to Minnesota more than forty
years ago, Mr. Nettleton settled in Lex
ington township, lie Sueur county. He
had just started to dig farm out of
the solid woods when the civil war
broke out, and he enlisted and served
three years, winding up with Sherman
and his March to the Sea. Upon his re-
turn from the war he removed to Wa
SEGA county, near Alma City, and
came to Madison Lake about a dozen
years ago. Since living here he has
served as a member of the village coun-
ell, and for several years as justice of
the peace He was a member of the G.
A. R.
He leaves a widow in comfortable cir
cumstances, and the following named
children: Mrs.J. E.Southwick, of Madison
Lake; William F. of Waseca; Theron S.
of Russellville, Ark, and George E. of
Mankato The funeral will take place
tomorrow at nine o'clock from his home
at Madison Lake, and the re-
mains will be taken to Alma City for in
terment
Mr.. Nettleton's name will not be re-
corded in history, nor will succeeding
generations read of his services to his
country and his fellow men. Neverthe
less, he was one of that grand body of
honest, sturdy men, upon whose lives is
built all free government, and whose
reward in the coming world is sure
