IYANHOE4 DRAWS BLOOD
Wins a Round in Lincoln County Seat
Fight.

lvanhoe won a round Friday in the
state supreme court in it's fight for the
Lincoln county seat with Lake Benton,
the present county capital, when Chief
Justice Start reversed the order of the
district court of that county in refus-
ing to order the dissolution of a
temporary injunction restraining the
county auditor from issuing notices
for a special meeting of the county
commissioners for the purpose of car
rying out the provisions of the special
election which had voted in favor of
the county seats removal.
The original petition for a special
election to vote on the question was
filed Sept. 8, 1901. The special cleo
ton was held Oct % of that year and
Ivanhoe won, but Lake Benton parti-
sans appealed to the supreme court.
That tribunal held the election invalid
and a demand was made by the Ivan
hoe petitioners on the county auditor
that he serve notice on the county COM
missioners.
The auditor complied and the board
met Jan. to consider the petition.
Then five taxpayers began an action
and secured temporary Injunction
restraining the auditor from acting
under the decision of the court. The
auditor moved to dismiss the injunc-
ton proceeding, the court refused and
the auditor appealed from the order
denying the motion to dismiss.

CHURCH WILL ISSUE BONDS
Catholic Parish Votes to Erect
School Building.
Money to Be Raised by Means of
Popular Loan.
Contractor Starts Tearing Down
Old Structures.

Pensioners ofHoly Trinity Catholic
church, at their meeting Sunday morn
ing, voted in favor Of proceeding with
the erection of the parochial school
building and also authorized a bono
issue to cover the cost of construction
Over one hundred members of the
congregation were present at the
gathering and the sentiment was all for
building, the urgent need of the school,
being universally recognized. In fac
this phase of the question was hardly
discussed at all and when a motion
was made that the trustees and con
sultors enter into a contract with Fl.
Schapekahm to erect the structure for
SAC, 449, it carried without a dissenting
vote.
Practically the only thing demanding
the attention of the parish members
was the matter of finances and this was
disposed of when they sanctioned a
bond issue for sufficient sum to meet
all expenditures, including payments
to the contractor and the various
other items that may arise. The sug-
gestion that the bonds be placed upon
the local market, in the nature of a
popular loan, met with approval, but
the question of determining upon the
amount of the issue and the rate of
interest to be paid was left with the
trustees. The paper will in all likeli-
hood be for at least $4,000 and bids
will be asked for at 5 per cent.
To meet this obligation a plan
similar to that of building and loan
associations will be used. Shares OF
stock are to be issued and it is ex-
pected that the members of the con-
gregation will subscribe for them &C
cording to their means. These shares
will require the payment of Is cents
weekly and are to remain in force
until the debt is cleared up. AS there
are $50 families in the parish it is
estimated that between $4,000 and
$14, 900 will be raised annually in this
manner, and thus the trustees will be
able to cancel the bonds in a trife
more than three years.
Y Contractor Schapekahm on Monday
began the task of tearing down Caeci-
liam hall and the old parish house will
follow. When these buildings are
removed he will do what excav ating is
necessary and then put down the
found alton.
In addition to disposing of the
school project, the church members
also elected their consultors Sunday
There are fourteen men on the board,
as follows: A. Amann, Andrew J
Eckstein, Robert Fesenmaier, Henry
Seifert, Alex Schwendinger and Philip
Liesch, New Ulm: Jacob M. Haubrict
and Anton Henle, Milford; Jos.
Wiltscheck and Anton Hillesheim
Sigel; Peter Sprenger and ohm Sturm
Cottonwood; JOS. Diepolder anc
August Schaef1er, Lafayette. They
are elected for term of two years.

ENTERPRISE.

| If it is ever doubted that a few de-
termined men can do more for a city
than hundred who do not care, there
| is an everlasting contradiction to the
supposition in the beautiful lake at
Redwood Falls. The Redwood river,
under ordinary circumstances was a
stream that in dry years furnished
scarcely enough water to supply the
natural evaporation and often failed
to flow over the rocks that constitute
the foundation for the falls.
A few men saw the possibility OF
constructing a dam and thus creating
and from ten to forty feet deep. They
agitated the matter and opposition at
once sprung up. Il was necessary to
resort to legal proceedings in some
cases, but they won out and now the
city has the finest pleasure resort in
this part of the state.
1t is veritable Jordan that borders
on the land of Canaan and it is the
pride of every citizen of the place. At
the upper end of the lake is a park of
twelve acres set in an amphitheatre
formed by the bluffs that form the
banks of the river. A natural spring
fifty feet above the river furnishes
drinking water of the purest kind. A
dance pavilion and refreshment stand
are located in the park and there is
also a deer park, in its infancy at
present, but giving promise of being a
fine attraction.
To get to this haven of rest and
pleasure two launches are provided
for making trips to and from the city.
1t is without exception one of the best
conceived and most completely salts
factory pleasure spots to be found,
and the result goes to show what few
determined men, with the future well
fare of their city at heart, can do
when they work not alone for their in
dividual interests bat for the future.
Redwood Falls has a set of business
men who are progressive beyond the
average-the city shows it.

plank that it indicates that the party


is starting on a conservative, pro-
gressive policy And Insignificant,
if not as important, is his statement
of the line of cleavage which divided
the subcommittee on that plank. For
it, as adopted, there were ranged
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois and Minnesota. Against
it were Pennsylvania, always porcine:
Iowa, merely to "down Cummins;;'
Wyoming and Idaho, wool bound,
and California, tied to fruits and
beets. The convention opened the
way for the party to return to its first
principles, to regard the policy OF
protection as means to an end, not
an end to itself, and to inquire where
the end has been accomplished.

It makes no difference who is re-
sponsible for the terrible conditions
which prevail in Colorado, the time
has come when the unfortunate affair
should be set right. If reports are
true the state is incompetent to deal
with the situation and is pursuing the
wrong course.

that he meant to collect an army near the
track of the Hebrews, and that he had

If the 1sraelites Travelled but two miles an
hour they could cover the distance between
Pa-Ramesu and the Rameside wall by the
sunset of this, the second day after the
death of the first born. 1t would have
been the first act of the Pharaoh to close
the gates of the wall against them The

remotest homes by the close of this day

INDICTMENTS RETURNED.
Outcome of Conflict Over Oyster Beds
at Tangier Island.

AS an outcome of the resistance offered
the Virginia authorities by oystermen and
fishermen of Tangier Island last summer,
when the Virginia oyster navy made an at
tempt to survey certain oyster lands near
the island for leasing purposes, the grand
jury at Onancock, Saturday, returned In
dictments against seven residents of Tan
gier. who were leaders in the so-called
bellion.
The state board of fisheries had leased
these lands to Capt. Joshua Crockett. AS
the land had, frpn4 the first settlement of
that portion of Virginia, been open ground
dents of Tangier who caught oysters, fish
and crabs in those waters, they. naturally
were greatly opposed to the leasing OF
them. The state authorities sent vessel
of the oyster navy to make the surveys,
but when the vessel arrived the captain
was told that the people did not propose to
have the lands leased. AS fast as a stake
was driven some one in one of the 300
boats about the states ship would pull 1t
time being.
A few days afterward the entire fleet of
the Virginia warshipS, three vessels, sailed
to Tangier Island and with gunners stand
ing by their guns, tried to compel obedi-
ence of those aboard the fleet of boats that
came out to meet them. The Tangierites
did not finch, however, and again pulled
up the stakes as fast as they We're set.
The trouble-was brought to an end by Capt
| Crockett surrendering his lease to Capt.
Hudgins, commodore of the fleet, on the
steamer Rappahangock.1 s.

He came to the young mans side. saying

There is another. I say, within the

Storm Caused Low Tide.

The lowest tide that has prevailed on the
Potomac in the last year or two was caused
by the heavy northwest blow yesterday
Yesterday morning the water was so low
that the flats on both sides of the river were
bare, and the channel banks stood a foot or
more out Of the water.
In the harbor the steamers were aground
in their docks. and some little trouble was
had in getting them afioat for their regular
trips.
Down the river the water in some of the
creeks was so low that the river-line steam
which visit the wharves in them were
unable to get up the streams and had to
run by them Yesterday afternoon the tide
started coming in. and before sunset had
risen fully two feet. 1t is expected the
tides will be normal today and the vessels
in the harbor will have no difficulty moving
about.
