They seem to have faith in the safety
of the project, as evidenced by the
following letter, which is being. sent
out over their signatures to the monied
men Of that community and to possible
investors:
"Dear Sir: A proposition, encour-
aging the building of a North and
South railroad from Mankato to St.
Cloud, is offered the citizens of this
vicinity as an investment. The pur-
pose is to issue interest bearing certi-
fcates, which shall be a first lien on
the property, clear of all incumbran-
ces, the money paid in three INSTALL
ments, and only after the completion
of each division of the road.
I'm framing the agreement with the
projectors of this movement, we have
carefully gone over all the details of
subscribers to these certificates. The
advantages of having another road to
st. Cloud, affording competitives rates
and consequent development of its in
dustries, are SO apparent that we feel
it hardly necessary to enlarge on this
feature. In presenting this PROPOSE
ton, we wish to assure you of our con-
idence in the movement, as being the
most feasible, and fairest opportunity
of the kind ever offered here.
"These certificates will be issued in
denominations of 81 900, $500 and 800,
subscriptions for which will be received
at the First National Bank, the Mer-
chants National and the Security State
Banks of this city, for the next few
days, and where any further informa-
ton regarding them will be gladly
given. Aside from the inestimable
advantages to ST. Cloud in the carry
ing out of this project, we wish to inn
press upon you the fact that this is not
considered as a donation to the rail-
road company, but is an investment
amply safeguarded, and is used as a
guarantee of local interest in the move
ment.

LIND WANTS CABINET JOB
Is Said to Be Figuring On a Parker
Portfolio.

John Lind aims to become member
of Judge Parker cabinet-if that gen
tleman should be elected president of
the United States, says the Minneapo-
lis Journal.
That is what prominent democrats
who keep in close touch with the con-
gresham are saying He has had
enough of congress, and all he wants
of gubernatorial battles. It is assert
ed that Lind knows what he is about
in announcing that he will aid in this
falls campaign, though run for no
Office.
His desire to talk in the doubtful
states for the national democratic
committee, is with a good look into
what it may lead to. IF Parker should
win out, it would mean that the doubt
ful states will be with him. And if
the states in which Lind exerts him
self go for Parker, then Lind must get
some credit from the democratic party
for his work. With this credit, backed
by his reputation as the head and
shoulders, the leader of Minnesota
democracy, it would be an easy thing
for him to land in the presidents cab
inet-if Parker were elected,
And it must not be forgotten that
Lind was one of the original Parker
men-in spite Of the fact that his home
district declared for Hearst.

SAY EVIDENCE WAS LACKING
Motion For New Trial in Sperl
Will Case.
Defense Claims Testator Was Not
Influenced.
Court Denies Similar Motion in
Suit For SANDER.

Attorneys in the famous Sperl will
case went before Judge Webber in
chambers Thursday and argued for
and against new trial. Geo. w.
Somerville and J. A. Eckstein repre-
sented the defendant, Jos. J. Sperl,
and Einar Hoidale appeared in the
interests of the other heirs, who are
asking their shares of the estate left
by their father, the late Anton Sperl.
When the latter died on July 7, 1908,
he was survived by five children: four
sons, Joseph, Otto, George and STAINS,
and one daughter, Mrs. Peter Fischer.
wood township and personal property
worth So, 500, the aggregate value be-
ing approximately $4,000. In will
which he had drawn he bequeathed all
of this to his eldest son, Jos. j. Sperl,
with the exception of an insurance
policy for 81, 900 in the ST Joseph's
society, which was to be divided equal
ly among thechildren, giving them 5000
apiece.
When the estate was filed for probate
Messrs. Hoidale & Somsen, on behalf
of Otto Sperl and Mrs. Fischer, made
formal contest of the will on three
grounds, namely; First, that it was
not properly executed according to
law; second, that Anton Sperl was not
of sound mind when the instrument
was drawn; third, that undue influence
was exercised by Joseph Sperl over
his father.
The case, which is one of the most
important ever tried in the county,
came up at the winter term of the dis
trict court and on December 21st, after
being out four hours, the jury returned
verdict answering the three questions
propounded to them. They held that
the will was duly executed and that
Anton Sperl was of sound mind, but
gave as their verdict that undue in
fuence was exercised by Jos. Sperl,
with whom the father had made his
home for some years. This verdict
rendered the willinvalid and gave the
other heirs the rights they demanded
under the law.
At the close of the trial stay of
proceedings was granted and on Thurs
dayJos. Sperl's lawyers madea motion
for Judgment notwithstanding the
verdict, or in the event of this being
refused, a new trial. Their principal
contention was that there was INSULT
Gent evidence to show that their client
exercised undue influence over his
father and after hearing the arguments
the court took the case under advise
ment.
In the companion case, the suit for
brought by Mrs. Anna Fischer against
Jos. Sperl, Judge Weber denied the
motion for a new trial. Mrs Fischer
was given a verdict of 5000 by the
jury and last week the attorneys made
their arguments. AS the petition of
the defense has been refused they will
probably appeal to the supreme court.

SETTLERS STILL COMING
Immigration Into Western Canada
is Increasing.
So Says Jacob Klossner, OF Local
Land Company.
Towns Are Booming and Another
Big Crop is Expected.

.Persons who regard the Canadian
land boom as on the Wane must dis
abuse their minds of that impression,
remarked Jacob Klossner. Jr., to a
Review reporter Friday. Mr.. Kloss-
ner recently returned from trip to
Regina in the interests of the New Ulm
Land & Investment company and was
most emphatic in his statements. Tim
migration is not decreasing, said he,
"but on the contrary the volume is as
Stunning enormous proportions. 1t is
true that there are not SO many people
travelling north on the 500 line as was
the case a year ago, but the influx OF
settlers over the main line of the Cana
dian Pacific is something wonderful.
EVERY incoming train on that rail
way is loaded to the roof and the hotels
find it almost impossible to aecommo-
ate their guests. The advantages of
the region are advertised in every
quarter of the globe and the effect has
been to bring in pioneers of all nation
alties. In addition to the thousands
of Americans, colonies are being
formed of Russians, Hungarians and
other European people, and even the
japanese and Chinese of the Orient are
sending their quota. The officials of
the immigration bureau see no signs
of let-up and it should not take
many years to populate the country.
Cali of the towns are booming and
the stimulation of business still con-
continues. AS means of comparison
I may say that Regina is now about
the same size as New Ulm. Here we
have three banks, (Which some people
consider too many but the Regina
residents require four times that many
to handle their business. Five were
started last year and there are now
twelve in the city. In other lines Of
trade there is the same prosperity.
'Some of the towns have experienced
an amazing growth. Two years ago
F'robyshire contained only three build
ings. Today there are three large
elevators, six or seven stores, any
number of dwelling houses and this

Cure for Sick Headache.

We had letter the other day from a lady in the town of Boulder, Colo. that should be of interest to people who are troubled with spells of sick headache. She writes that she had these spells about four times week, was obliged to go to bed and remain there from to 10 hours each time. Had been troubled this way for several years, and the attacks became more frequent. Doctors done her no good. She tried dieting, as every body said it was from her stomach. Seeing an advertisement of Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills, which said, they cure sick headache by removing the cause, she decided to try once more, and sent 5Oc for two boxes. She said she had taken the last pill more than months ago, has not had sick spell of any kind for over months. Druggists sell these pills for 25c. per box. It only takes one for a dose, they cure sick headache every time. For sale by the Cover Drug Co.

When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, sour stomach is likely to follow, and espec- ially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food thoroughly. Let five hours elapse between meals, and when you feel fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eat ing, take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and the sour stomach may be avoided.

MORALES BANK CASES.
Santa Cruz Grand Jury Find Indictments
 Against the Bank Officials.

The Nogales Daily News states that the grand jury ignored the three pre- sentiments against l.. H. Rhuart, of the defunct International bank. This is in effect vindication and exonera- tion of Mir. Rhuart in the Internation- al bank cases.
 Several presentments against John Dessart and R. Allyn Lewis were di- rected by the grand jury to be resuh- mitted to the December grand jury.
 Several indictments were found by the grand jury, and were turned into court at the same time, but no infor- nation could be had as to the names of the persons indicted. From the fact that secrecy was observed it may fairly be inferred that the indictments found are, with one exception, against persons who are out of tho jurisdic- tion of the territory. A little more of the deduction would indicate that the bills found are against officers of the bank
 General Lewis has repeatedly asser, ted that he Sill come on to Nogales at any time if his presence is required, and his counsel confirm this declara- tion. He is in St. Louis at present.
