Two Much Water DisabIes Water
Works Two Days and a
Dryness Follows.
Redwood and Minnesota Rivers on
a High Old Time and
Make Trouble.

Water, water everywhere! and
not drop to drink" That might
have been the condition of the citi-
zens of this city dependent on the
city water service last Sunday and
Monday, had it not been for the saw
ing fact that many of the people
around the city have hung onto their
wells and were able to supply the or
binary demands for water for house
hold purposes for few days with
out any great inconvenience. For
the first time since the installation
Of the city water plant, the extraor
binary high water overf1owed the
the floor of the pump house to such
an extent that it was impossible to
use the pumping machinery for two
days or more.
The trouble began last Saturday,
when the electric motor for running
the pumps was put out of commits
sion by the high water. and when
the fires were started in the reserve
steam pump, the engineer in rubber
boots stood to his guns and kept the
pumps going until the rising tide
put out the fires under the boiler,
when there seemed nothing to do
but to leave the flooded building and
shut off the water from the houses
of citizens until some way could be
devised for resuming the pumps.
On account Of the danger in case of
fire, it was hoped the water would
quickly subside, but Monday morn
ing the case seemed as bad as before.
Reports from surrounding towns
represent that conditions are in
many cases much worse than here.
Elsewhere the unfortunate plight of
our neighbor city. Marshall, is re-
ferred to, and at New Ulm and
many other Minnesota river towns
the conditions are even worse than
they were at the time of the high
water year ago.
Monday there was practically no
passable bridge over the Minnesota
between Redwood and Renville
counties. The work done by the
county for protecting the road
across the bayou opposite North
Redwood, had not contemplated
such flood of waters as has mater
/ ialized this spring, and Sunday the
cnrrent across the roadway was so
strong that no teamster cared to
risk the passage, and recourse was
again had to boats, for all who
wished to make the crossing. At
Morton also, the last teams to make
the crossing drove over, gong
through water above the wagon

boxes. The whole bottom was re-
ported vast lake. and this condi-
ton prevailed wherever the shores
of the river gave the waters a chance
to escape.
Similar conditions prevailed on
the smaller streams. The Cotton
wood was reported impossible at
various places for several days and
all the other streams in this vicinity
have shared in the general rise.

The Real Cause.
Mortified News.

NOIInnelQ News:
A number of our exchanges have
good deal to say about the removal
of the business office of a milling
company from Sleepy Eye to Mime
apolis. The Redwood Reveille speaks
of this change following a crisis,
when the knockers began to
knock" When credit was the one
thing needed they got out their little
hammers and began to pound at the
movement of fair dealing and right
living Won Hagen and his associates
had laboriously builded through a
life of toll. AS last resort, to pre-
vent utter ruin, Minneapolis backing
was sought and secured, but the
fearful price exacted was the remov-
al of the plant to the great mill city.
When the knockers of Sleepy Eye
walk the quiet grass-grown streets
of their city where the hurrying
feet of labor were wont to tread,
when they consider their decreased
business and deprecated homes, let
them recall their jealousy that oc-
casioned all this, and ask themselves
if it paid"
All of which is. no doubt, fine
writing which must have proved eX-
trenlely gratifying to its author.
But mere knocking, disagreeable
and Objectionable as it may be, rare
ly occasions the abandonment of a
profitable industry at a suitable
point. We shall have to look furth-
er for the real occasion of the pro-
posed removal of the Sleepy Eye
mill, and we imagine the Buffalo
Journal puts it in a nutshell when it
says:
The plant is now in the hands of
a receiver. and the removal is due to
the advantage of rates and shipping
facilities of Minneapolis oyer Sleepy
Eye"
There is nothing new about this.
Thete is nothing surprising. There
is no need to attribute the removal
of. industries from small towns to
the larger cities to knocking, or jeal-
ousy or sentimental reasons of any
kind. 1t has been going on all the
time for years. 1t will continue to
90 on as long as the railro Dads are
permitted to discriminate against
the country and in favor of the city.

Woman has found another champion IN
Rev. DR.. Arthur c. A. Hall, Episcopal
bishop Of Vermont, who by comparison
defended her right to vote in an address
at Carnegie hall, New York, tuesday eve we
diocese of New York. "a great victory of
the faith" he said, sis seen in the position
which woman holds in Christendom. 1t
is the Christian faith, the faith of the
incarnation. which has raised woman to
her true position as mans equal and com
panion. l will not be tempted to discuss
the question of woman's rights OF female
Suffrage. Two things / will say in that
connection: First, that IT is merely a po-
liticaI question. but it Is Christianity which
has made that political question possible.
And second the equality of woman, her
dignity, involves this, that women have
right to demand the same standard OF pur-
ity in men that men demand in women"

Some Corset Don'ts

wa W. - Ma -
Don't go to your tailor with
an old, soft, ill-ftting corset and
expect to get the same results
that your "well set up" sister
would get. Have your figure and
corset in perfect condition, then
take care of your gown.
Don't buy a particular
model because it looks well
on another woman, as it
may not look well on you at all.
Don't wear one corset all the
time and expect the poor thing to
wear year-it is cheaper to
keep two or three corsets on
hand. Give your corset an air
ing, straighten out the bones;
roll it up; let it rest for a day
it will give much longer service.
Don't hook up your corset
without first loosening the
strings; when not properly ad-
justed a corset will break and
bulge and will not last half as
long.
Don't have your gown fitted
first and then buy your corset
you don't give your gown maker
Tor ftter) a chance by so doing.

WANT CUSTOMS BILL NOT
REFERRED TO GOVERNMENT
Advocates of Measure in Chamber Of
Deputies AssaiI Those Who Favor
Anti-French Industry

PARIS, July S.-Advocates of the
customs commissions bills rallied in
the chamber of deputies today and as
sailed those who favored referring
back the bill to the government as
trailers to French industry.
Deputy Chaumet, in order to escape
the charge of free tradism, altered the
text of mis- motion so as to invite the
government to open diplomatic nego-
tiations with foreign countries for the
equitable adjustment of tariff differ
ences and in the meantime postpone
consideration of the articles of the bill.
NJ. Cruppi, the minister of commerce,
announced that the government would
conduct such negotiations as were
deemed useful but would not consider
itself bound by the action of the
chamber.
The first portion of NJ Chaumets mo-
tion was adopted, but the second part
that for the postponement of the con-
sideration of the bill, was defeated by
a vote of 144 to 425.

SUFFRAGETTES WIN POINT
AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
English Women Appeal Directly to
King Edward and viii Be Received
by Home Secretary

LONDON, July 8.-Mrs. Despard and
the contingent of suffragettes who have
been invading the house for the past
week with the hope of catching Pre-
mier Asquith have scored point in
their fight for the contention that they
have a constitutional right to present a
petition to a responsible minister of
the crown.
The suffragettes appealed directly to
the king, who informed them that the
home secretary was the constitutions
channel of communication, and his
majesty apparently followed this up
with a hint that Mr. Gladstone would
be advised TO receive the women's del
egation
In the face of Premier Asquiths per-
sistent refusal to meet a deputation OF
suffragettes it is hardly conceivable
that his lieutenant would consent to
this course, as he did without strong
pressure.
The suffragettes' deputation will be
received by the home secretary this
evening.

Putting Up Sensational De-

tBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July S.-The defense in
the trial of Ella GingleS closed To-Day
With the rebuttal testimony tomorrow
a new sensation is promised IN the

accusations in connection with her
story of being attacked in the Welhhs-

tional committee, whose name has oeen
brought into the record of this case py
Miss Gingles as the man involved IN
an alleged plot to send her to French
Lick Springs, Ind, as a white slave.

to do with this case, explaining that
he had come on civil case.
Mrs. Sophie Linderman testlhed TO
the original visit of Miss Barrette and
another woman to Miss Gingles ROOM
ostensibly in search of the lace Whlcn
Miss Barrette alleged Miss Gingles had
stolen.

This was in January, when, accord
ing to Miss Gingles. the first attempt
made. 1t was a month later that she
was found bound and gagged ana
bleeding in a bathroom at the yelling
ton hotel.
Miss Gingles usually arrived home
about 7 o'clock in the evening. AT b
o'clock in the evening of January 4,
the witness said, Miss Barrette ana
the other woman visited the place ana,
without being invited, walked at once
to Miss Gingles room, where they over
hauled her belongings Her clothing
was strewn about the floor and covered
with dirt and candle grease during the
search, Mrs. Linderman said, confirm
ing Miss Gingles' testimony in this re-
spect.
Miss Glngles came home at o'clock
as usual and an hour later the three
women left the place. 1t was nearly
midnight when Miss Gingles returned
home.

swollen asked her what was the mat
ter and she said she could not tell be-
cause, she said, they would Kill her.
She was trembling and excited, but all
l could get out of her was she had
been treated terribly"

CHALLENGE TO SENATOR
italian Cabinet Officer Does Not Ac-
cept Explanation of Deputy
for His Attack

ROME, July S.-Further debate on
the maritime convention, the discus
sion of which caused a serious dis
turbance of the chamber of deputies
last night, was postponed today at the
request of the Italian Lloyd Steamship
company, to which the government
proposed to give twenty-fve-year
subvention for the transportation of
mail.
Signor Gallant, the Republican dep
uty who last night assailed Signor
Schanzer, minister Of posts and tele-
graphs, explained the accusation by
saying he did not allude to the per-
sonal honesty of the minister but TO
his political honesty.
This explanation did not satisfy Sig
nor Schanzer and this afternoon he
sent Admiral Mirabello, the minister
of marine, and General Spingardi, the
minister of war with challenge to
Deputy Gallant.
