STUCK ON THE COUNTRY.

Ed. Reeder, of Wenatchee, was a
visitor in town Monday, called here
with other members of his family by
the serious illness of his brother, Jack.
Mr.. Reeder is an old resident of Doug
las county. He stuck to the soil thro'
the most discouraging days of that sec
ton, that was slow coming to the 'front.'
with the result that he is now the
owner of many valuable acres, and far
better fixed than others who tried their
fortunes elsewhere. He lives in a
celebrated fruit country, and his opin-
ion as to fruit lands has weight. He
declares that this part of the Okanogan
valley is the most promising he has
ever seen. So favorably impressed is
he that he will return and endeavor
to get hold of some of the orchard land
in this vicinity.

Dan Riley, who is cutting grain of
his Ellemeham mountain ranch, left
sheaf of wheat at this Office Monday,
that in its appearance of full heads and
plump kernels would leave the impress
sion that crops are not wholly failure
in this county, pessimistic reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Mr..
Riley does not claim that his entire
100 acre tract will gain equal to the
sample, but it is far from failure
And it may be added that county
that will grow any kind of a crop such
an unfavorable season as this has been
is good enough for a farmer to stay
with.

Washington, Jan. Rive have moi

and we hope our friends will not urge
Us to pursue such . course To ask

trial and sacrifice which our men Of
labor and our friends In all walks Of
life have endured that the rights and
liberties Of our people might be "e'
stored. Such a pardon would only
leave the whole case in confusion and
It would have to be fought over agaiO
from the beginning"
This is some Of the language used
in q statement signed by Gompers,

number Of the American Federation

action Of Justice Wright In sentencing

MORE LAND SUITS FILED
GOVERNMENT sEEKiNo TO re.
COVER OREGON LAND.
The Actions Are supplementary to
Those Filed Against the Har
rIman CompanloS.

Portland, Ore. Jan. 25.-Another
step In the fight Of the federal govern
ment to recover possession Of the land
included in the immense grant to the
Oregon and California Railroad com
pany was taken Saturday when B. D.
Townsend, special assistant to the At
torney general filed In the federal
court in Portland IS suits in equity
against the Oregon and California rail
road, and Southern Pacific companies
and over 100 other defendants. These
suits are supplementary to those pre-
viously filed against the Hartman
companies and are for the purpose Of
recovering land included in the grant
and already sold by the railroads, or
where title to the land cannot be re-
gained. Of securing for the govern
ment all moneys paid for the land in
excess Of $3.50 per acre, the price at
which 1t was stipulated In the original
grant the land would be sold. Be-
sides the railroads, the defendants In
the suits are those who have pur-
chased land from these companies. The
suits involve more than s15,0OO,O00
and also more than 353,2SS acres Of
land. All Of the land is located in
Oregon.
In its original suit the government
alleged the fact that the railroad vlo-
lated the terms Of the grant By re-
tusing to sell the lands contained
therein for $3.50 an acre and seeks
either to force the railroad to sell the
land to settlers according to the terms
Of the grant or to have the entire
grant annulled and the land restored
TO the public domain. tits alleged in
the complaint that all Of the lands
were sold to the defendants In viola
ton Of the terms Of the land grant,
and for this reason the government
hopes to make null and void the deeds
and contracts made by the Oregon and
California company with the pur-
chasers.

Gets A LARGE ROLL
INSANE HOSPITAL AT ST. PETER
WELL TREATED BY STATE.
Nearly Seven Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Appropriated to the Institu-
ton; Sum to Meet Current Ex-
penses, Repair and Replace Struc-
lures; EJECT New Buildings; To
Have Detention Apartment.

st. Peter, May 3.-In the next two
years the st. Peter state hospital for
the insane will have the modest sum
of 1868, 100 with which to meet cur
rent expenses, repair and replace struc-
lures in use at present and erect new
buildings All but $4,000 was car
ried by the omnibus appropriation bill,
as passed by the state legislature, and
the sum is the largest ever placed at
the disposal of the local institutions.
Two new buildings, hospital for
the confinement of the criminal insane
and a modern detention hospital, are
provided for by the appropriation, and
it will permit of extensive repairs be-
ing made on two others, the south de-
tached ward and the south wing. A
new cattle barn can be erected, and
liberal allowances made for repairs
on several of the smaller buildings and
for electrical wiring and steam heating.
Amount Available This Year.
OF the total amount voted 1888, 100
becomes available in 1909. The sum
of $4,000 may be spent at once for
electrical wiring and steam heating,
and $4,000 may be spent this summer
in building the criminal insane hos
pital The legislature of 1907 voted
100000 for the latter building, hIt the
bids were in excess of the appropria-
ton. To make up the deficiency the
last legislature allowed an additional
$4,000, and this means that the struc-
ture will 60 up this year. It's site mas
been decided upon, and the contract
is to be awarded in a few weeks.
Another deficiency appropriation
voted was that for the south detached
ward. 1t has been in use for nearly
thirty years and is in wretched condi-
tion. 1t has no system of ventilation,
its ceilings and walls are out of re-
pair and it is regarded as very un-
sanitary and unwholesome. In 1907
the lawmakers voted $4,000 year for
remodeling it, but it was found that
more money was needed and the ap-
preparation was increased to $4,000.
For Current Expenses.
For current expenses the hospital is
allowed 100000 year for two years,
an increase of $4,000 a year. Other
items in the 1909 budget are: Steam
heating, 10000; fireprooing south
wing, $4,000; new cattle barn, $4,000;
greenhouse, $500; stone crusher, $500;
general repairs, $1,000, and for making
additions to the dairy herd, $500.
The largest item in the 1910 appro-
priation is $4,000 for the new deten-
ton hospital. A similar building mas
been finished at the Fergus Falls hos
pital, and 100000 has been voted the
Rochester hospital with which to erect
one.

Garden City, the road lay through
Minneopa State Park by the Mime
opa Falls and through the woods that
sheltered the Cole Younger gang of
night robbers years ago. The roads over
the fourteen miles to Garden City were
in fine condition, being of gravel and
sand. The scenery was most pictur-
esque through this part of the route.
After leaving Garden City, through
Vernon Center and Amboy, the tough
est possible road conditions were en-
countered, and here it was that the
path finding car, and party, too, made
reputation as gumbo fighters.
Mile after mile the road was deep
with stick mud, but through the pro-
gress was slow, it was sure as far as
Winnebago. The car made run of
thirty-five miles for the day.
1t was impossible to pass beyond
nebago because three culverts, situated
at heavy clay intersections of the road
between Winnebago and Blue Earth
City were absolutely impossible. Help
was sought from the farmers, who
while willing to do all they could for
the party, absolutely refused to risk
their horses by hitching them to the
car. For this they could hardly be
blamed. Under these conditions the
party stopped at Winnebago for the
night
Further attempts viii be made to-
morrow to pass these bad places, as
the roads are drying rapidly. G. Lewis
of Mankato is guiding the party and
will go as far as Elmore, the state
line, by way of Blue Earth.
When two miles beyond Winnebago,
yesterday afternoon, the car ran into
a big ditch and broke an axle. This
made it impossible to proceed, and the
car was taken back to Winnebago, and
the party remained there today A
new axle was sent for, and will be
shipped today by D. d. Cummings of
this city. G. A. Lewis, who was act
ing as pilot, returned nome today. 1t
is expected that the car will be able
to proceed again in a few hours.

New York. After residing for a num-
ber of years in Pennsylvania, Mr.. Rath-
burn removed with his family to the
vicinity of Steubenville, Ohio, and was
employed for a yen or two in rail
way construction. About March 1858,
he came west with his family, in.
tending to locate at Galena, Illinois,
but was induced to continue his Jour-
ney to st. Paul.
Early Arrival in Mankato.
Finding employment on the boat
Clarion, he left his family at ST. Paul
and ascended the Minnesota to Fort
Ridgely in May, 1858, and, on the re-
turn trip, concluded to locate at Man
kato. He built claim shanty on
the stone quarry bench just north of
the Great Western roundhouse, and his
family arrived on June u, and went in
to possession. In the fall of 1856, Mr.
Rathburn was employed by Messrs
Babcock & Marsh to carry the mails
between Mankato and Sioux City, and,
being caught by blizzard, was frozen
to death near jackson, Mimi, Decem-
ber 26, of that year.
In the fall of 1862, his widow mar
ried Ephraim Cole, a carpenter BY
trade, who had first come to Mankato
in 1852, and in the following year had
helped build the Mankato house. He
was a member of the first board of
county commissioners and prominent
character in the early history of Man
kato.
Was Nurse BY Profession.
Mrs. Cole was nurse by profession,
and there was hardly pioneer house
hold in Mankato to whose sick she did
not minister. She has seen this citv's
growth from its very infancy. She
had two children by her first husband:
William and Franklin Bruce, and four
by her second husband: Mrs. Mary
Goodrich, Mrs. Margaret Funk, Mrs.
Jane Fuller and Mrs Rebecca Bur.
ris.
Mrs. Cole was one of the most active
participants in the festivities which
make the old settlers gatherings so
enjoyable. She was one of the old
est persons in Blue Earth county as
well as one of the earliest settlers.
During the latter years of her life
she exhibited as much interest i'm pub
lie events as she ever did, and her
mind and faculties were strong and
active.
