NEW MILFORD TO BRIDeEwATER.
 Bridgewater and New Milford are more closely related townwise than any other communities in this part of the state, Bridgewater having once been a part Of this town. In view of this fact there is great desire on the part of our citizens that all of Bridgewater should take part. To this end an effort was made at the outset to have Bridge water take part as a town. Owing, however, to the fact that their own semf-centennial had just been cele- brated, the citizens of Bridgewater did not feel that the town, as a town, could take official part, but did believe that all their citizens would join in as individuals. The selectmen of Bridge. water and the semi-centennial com mittee are expected to take part in the parade, riding as official guests, and New Milford hopes to see every resident of Bridgewater present throughout the celebration.

DENIES MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL
Judge Olsen Puts an Endto District
Court Litigation in Widell-
Hoerr Case.

Judge Olsen on Wednesday issued
an order in the case of Gustaf Widell
against w. G. Hoerr of Mankato,
Carlos Boynton Of ST. Paul and the
National Citizens bank of Mankato
in which hedenies the motion of Mr..
Hoerr and Mr.. Boynton for a new
trial.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant ever tried in Nicollet county. In
1905 Mr.. Widell negotiated loan of
S25. 600 from Mr.. Hoerr, issuing FIVE
promissory notes for 5000 each and
giving a sixth for the same amount,
issued by the Widell- Finley COM
pany, of which he was president. To
secure the loan he gave a mortgage
on real property in Blue Earth and
Nicollet counties worth S35, 900. Sub
sequently he brought suit to have the
notes declared invalid, he contending
that no value was received for the
sixth note and that this note therefore
constituted usurious and unlawful
| : 4
rate of interest.
When the case was tried Mr.. Hoerr
declared that the note in question was
given him as Commission" for ar
ranging the loan; that he was not a
principal, but acted as an agent for
Mr.. Boynton. At this point the bank
presented the claim that the mortgage
given Mr.. Hoerr was executed l. the
! form of trust deed to secure loans
they had made to Widell, and the
court ruled in their favor, ordering
the other two defendants to destroy
the six notes and the mortgage and up
holding the validity of the trust deed.
Judge Olsen, having denied their
motion for new trial, Messrs. Hoerr
and Boynton will, it is understood,
appeal to the state supreme court.

FORMER NEW ULM MINISTER DEAD
Stephen Updike, Orator, Soldier
and Clergyman, Passes Away
in California.

Dispatches from Los Angeles of re-
cent date tell of the death at a hospi-
tai in that city of Rev. Stephen G. Up
dixie, frequently referred to by men
who knew him as "South Dakota's
OLD man eloquent
Rev. Updike came to this city in
1900 and served as pastor of the local
Congregational church until 1908.
Shortly afterwards he was compelled
to abandon the ministry and little was
heard of him in New Ulm until news
was received of his death.
A man Of scholarly attachments, his
field of endeavor was by no means
confined to the ministry. In the early
days of South Dakota he acquired
fame as an orator and when the time
came to admit the territory to state
hood he was one of the members OF the
constitutional convention that gave to
the young commonwealth its first code
of laws. Later he became professor
of mental and moral science in the
states leading college and still later a
member of the board of trustees of the
state university.
/ During the war he rendered valiant
service as a private in O. Michigan
regiment of volunteer infantry, and as
indicating the esteem in which he was
held by his comrades it may be stated
tina. at one time he held the post O
chaplain-in-chief Of the Grand Army

SUEING FOR SIO,-
100000 DAMAGES
Americas Man In Breach
of Promise Case.

The mock trial under the auspices
of the Daughters of Rebeka will
draw a large audience to Odd Eel
lows Hall tonight.
The hearing will begin promptly at
8 o'clock. Mr. Hollis Fort will pre-
side as judge. Mr.. Macon Dudley
who is accused of trifing with lady
affections and who probably stands
an excellent chance of being mulcted
to the tune of $4,000, will be de-
Tended by w. w. Dykes, Esq. The fair
plaintiff, whose affections have been
spurned by the gay lothario, will be
represented by E. A. Nisbet, Esq. Mrs
John P. Butt will be the plaintiff in
the case.
The devotion of the plaintiffs at
torney to the fair sex, and his we'll
known chivalric interest in everything
that will affect their welfare, en-
sures some outbursts of eloquence
that will alone be worth the price of
admission.
Through a violation of the conf
dence it can be stated that Mr.. MIS-
bet has sedulously studied the case
at issue for several days, and has
committed to memory some very apro-
pos bits of verse that will find pro-
per place in his appeal to the jury
His friends, especially among the gen

forward to a great display of forensic
ability.
Americas juries are prone to lean
with partially toward the woman in
all litigation. The interests of the
defendant, however, will be well look
ed after by Attorney Dykes, and there
will be some lively sparring between
him and his brother at the bar At
torney Nisbet will probably endeavor
to sweep the jury off their feet by
the power of his eloquence, while
Attorney Dykes will appeal to their

impassioned manner.

COTTON BIDS LIKELY
TO RULE LOWER
Exchange Commanding Too
High a Premium.

For the next few days it is quite
likely that the demand for spot cotton
in the Americas market will not be so
insistent and prices bid will
be so low that the buyers themselves
will hardly expect the producers to
accept. In other words cotton will
only be in demand at bargain prices.
This condition is due almost entire
ly to the unsettled condition of the
foreign exchange market. At the pres
ent time the rates for foreign ex-
change are out of all proportion to
what they normally are Banks are
not caring to handle large foreign
bills of exchange in the present de-
moralized state of the exchange mar
ket and in the urgent need for cash
for business on this side of the wa
ter.
The sharp decline in cotton futures
today" said a local cotton dealer yes
terday, are due in a great measure to
the inability of exporters to place
bills of exchange except at ruinous
rates. Under these circumstances the
exporter naturally does not care to
load up with cotton. In fact, he can
not afford to do so unless provided
with large sums of ready cash.
"All things considered, the decline
is not a mystery and until the ex-
change rates are adjusted and things
get back to the normal in New York
the. same conditions will probably pre-
vail This will likely take only a very
short time"

WILL COTTON GO LOWER!

While it is a delicate matter to offer
advice to producers and holders of
cotton as to what course they should
pursue at any given time, it will not
be out of place to sound a note of
warning.
Do not rush to sell your cotton.
In the present mix-up in Wall street
due in part to the spectators who
have hammered cotton values in the
past-efforts will be made to STAN
| pede the cotton producers and mer-
chants into letting loose their cotton
under the impression that later in the
season prices for spot cotton will be
even lower
The farmer, by discouraging specu-
| lation, has taken upon himself the
task of financing the cotton crop, and
there is only one way to do that sue
cessfully, and that is to feed the
crop into the market slowly The
spinners and their agents will of
course, cry out that the very know
ledge that a part of the crop is being
held back will work against prices.
But not this the mills are not going
to stop It's their stocks which are
far more effective club over prices
than any holding on the part of the
farmers.
To anybody who will put his think
factory to work for a single min
ute, it will be evident that a short
ness of stocks at the mills is the
greatest incentive possible to better
prices for cotton in the hands of the
farmers. The mills are in most in
stances sold far ahead, more than a
year in some instances.
Can the mills afford to pay higher
prices for their supplies? Well, we
rather think so.
Ellison & Co., an eminent English
authority, says in speaking of the
season ending August 81, 1907: THE
past season has been one of cease
less activity among mills. That it
has been profitable is shown by pay
ment of dividends of from 10 to 40
per cent, and in addition bonuses of
20 to so per cent of normal share
value"
Last seasons crop was over thir-
teen and half million bales, yet
prices continued to advance to the
very close of the season, the mills alb
sorbing practically all except the very
low grades.
This seasons crop will probably be
a million bales less, while according
to the same English authority, there
will be 100000 additional spindles
and 10000 new looms
Should prices be higher or lower
this season as compared with last?
They may be lower if farmers lose
their nerve and try to market all of
their cotton at once.
Now is the crucical test. A surren-
der on the part of the farmers would
be victory for the Spectator, who
would say that he was the only saliva
ton of the cotton grower, and would
also make subsequent holding trebly
difficulty. A victory this season is
worth twice the energy expended in
subsequent seasons.
Sit steady in the boat.
