GOLD REELECTED PRESIDENT.
W. II. Gold Appreciated by the State
Sunday School Convention.

The Sunday-School convention at
st. Paul last week was a marked
advance over the annual meeting of
a year ago, both in attendance and
value of teaching given. Out of 80
counties in the state, 60 were repre-
sented, the total number of regis
trations outside Of St. Paul being
over 600, and the attendance at sew
eral of the sessions exceeding a
thousand people, most of whom were
active Sunday-School workers.
The two star attractions on the
program were DR.. Forbush of De-
troit, who gave teachers and parents
many invaluable ideas on the prob
lem of interesting and guiding boys
and girls into right habits of think
ing and living, and Prof. Pierce of
Chicago, who gave most encouraging
accounts of the work among men in
many parts of the United States.
He enforced the point that boys
aspired to be men and that men
needed to know the Bible. For the
sake of saving both the men them
selves and the boys by their example,
the men Of the church should remain
and work in the Bible school of the
church.
At the close of the convention.
that body reelected w. HI. Gold of
this city president in spite of a de-
sire on his part to have some other
man assume the responsibility.
Crookston was chosen for the meet
ing place next year in competition
with Mankato, Rev. E. c.. Nicholson

for Crookston on the score Of the
greater need Of the sparsely settled

Hunter and Ray and thus establish
ownership and reimburse his losses.
The attorneys made merry over the
case, the Tracy firm of Korns &
johnson breaking out into rhymes
in several canters, with Billy Owens
countering with another poetical
outbreak almost as bad as that of
the Tracy talent. The tale of the
COW came to an end at last, the jury
liking damages to the amount of $50
for Ray to pay, in addition to costs
of suit and the good money he paid
for half-dead COW. Ray vows he
will go hunting for Hunter in the
Lyon county court next fall, so that
the ghost of the dying cow which
nobody loved may yet haunt the
court room at Marshall as it has that
of Redwood Falls.
The important suit of B. Mander-
scheid VS.. Ed. Linneman, both Of
Rock township, was a novel one in
this court at least, and the outcome
was uncertain up to the time the
jury handed in their verdict yester-
day morning, after being out all
night. AS previously related in
these columns, the action grew out
of the accidental shooting of little
9-year old Philip Handkerchief by
Arthur Linneman, 10 years old. last
April. The testimony showed
among other things. that Ed. Lime
man had used the gun on the morn
ing of the accident and left it lean
ing against the barn, and that the
boy helped himself to the weapon,
and carelessly pointed it at Philip
IN the course of their play, with
tragic results, Philip having thereby
lost one eye, while physicians
testify that he will lose the sight Of
the other in a few years. The testi-
mony of plaintiff S witnesses went to
show that Linneman had allowed his
little boy to use the gun at various
times, but the judges instructions
tended to fix Linneman's liability to

firms transacted in the neighborhood
of $1,000 business since the sea-
son opened last fall. During the
past several weeks a large number
Of furs haye been marketed in this
city. Numbers Of trappers held the
result of their seasons work until
the close. The furs are Of excellent
quality and bring the top prices in
the large markets Of this country.
New York is the principal market,
and has held supremacy since the
fur business was organized over a
century ago by the Vanderbilts.
The furs taken all over the country
eventually find their way to New
York, from where they are shipped,
to London. From London they are
re-shipped to Leipsic, where they
are prepared and dyed for further
use.
Recently a representative Of a
large establishment in New York
visited New Ulm and after examin-
ing the furs on hand in one Of the
local establishments. stated they
were the best lot he had ever seen.

The Point Was Well Taken.

Geo. Root is feeling greatly re-

his return from a Minneapolis hos
pital. He had been under treatment
for an extremely painful case of
hemerrhoids, but at the hospital an
examination showed that he was the
victim of a peculiar accident. His
painful symptoms were caused by an
internal ulcer, and the origin Of the
ulcer was found to be common pin

JUDICIAL Mill
Harmons Win in Personal In
jury Suit, and Mander-
scheidt Loses.
Tale of a Cow Cut Off and
Ratskin Larceny Case
Taken Up.

The April session of the district
court for this county has seen con-
siderable accomplished during the
first week, either by settlement, by
mutual concessions without trial or
by fights to a finish. The usual
continuances were made for the
ever present tax cases on the calen-
der, and case No. 9, Lang VS..
Schmahl, was settled out of court.
The appeal from probate court in
the matters affecting the Thos.
Sloan Estate, by consent of the par
ties, will be submitted to the court
for adjudication, and the same dis
position was made of the Philips VS..
Mo case.
The Neubauer VS.. Muetzel case
was continued, and the case of
Berger VS.. Berger will be submitted
to the court.
The hard-fought damage by ditch
overflow case, which resulted in dis
agreement at the last term johnson
VS.. Melligan) was amicably settled
without being submitted to a jury.
The first jury impaneled for try
ing a case was the one drawn for a
second trial of the personal injury
suits of Horace l.. Harmon and Jo-
sephine Harmon against the G. & N.
w. Ry. Co. This suit was stubborn
ly fought on both sides last fall, re-
sulting in Disagreement. This time
Attorney Howard, who was associated
with T. M. Quarton in the prosecu-
ton, left no stone unturned towards
clinching the evidence in favor of
the contention of his clients, and
finally won out in spite of the skill
full defense of the Winona counsel
employed by the railroad company
Brown, Abbott and Somsen. The
verdict was not large $3.50 for
Harmon and $3.50 for Mrs. Harmon
but carried with it the costs of both
suits and puts an end to the action.
The freak case of the term was the
comedy in several acts, all about a
COW which finally coughed her tu-
bercular head off in Walnut Grove
stable. The COW originally belonged
to L. H. Hunter of Tracy, was by
him sold and consigned to VIM. Ray
of Springdale and left to be called
for at j. A. Grants stable in Walnuc
Grove. When Ray called for the
animal and led her forth, his expert
enced x-ray eye told him that the
animal had tuberculosis and that he
had been stung by the Tracy man,
whereupon he led bossy back to her
stall and vowed to get even with the
big-game Hunter. Ray and Hunter
both disavowing ownership of the
cow, the owner of the stable kept
the animal few months until the
white plague did its work with bossy
and her tale was told. Having been
damaged by the fame of the tuber-

tanned Attorney Owens to sue both

The Passage Of the Relief Telephone
Ordinance.

The relief telephone ordinance of
the Union Electric Telephone COM
pany. which has been more or less
under discussion in Rock Island for
some time, and toward the defeat of
which the Central Union company has
exerted all its energies, was finally
adopted by the city council last even
ing with but one dissenting vote.
The same ordinance was set back
when it came up for passage a couple
of weeks before in order to present
the program mapped out by Mayor
Schaffer with the hope of clearing up
the entire situation as it involves both
companies by course of action that
aimed for uniform rate clauses This

that it would stand for no ordinance
that empowered the city to prescribe
The maximum rate. The Bell com

The Union Electric. on the other
hand, stood in readiness to accept any
ordinance that the council might sec
fit to adopt that would save the com
pany from bankruptcy, turn Of
