1 -i Neighborhood info 1 Happenings. Events, of Interest of Recent Occurrence this and Neighboring Counties. According to the Journal the cuirts of Nicoilet county will have an interesting case to settle this fall, interesting from the fact that it will show up the workings of so-called "mutual hail companies. Last year Charlie Anderson of New Sweden took out a hail insurance policy with one of these the face value of the policy being $600, and soon after his grain was destroyed by hail. Adjusters placed the loss at $150, but of this amount the company paid only half, and all attempt to collect the balance was futile.

When it came to continuing the policy the company even refused to apply the amount due Mr. Anderson on the premium for the present year, alledging as an excuse that the company was not liable for the indebtedness of the management of a year ago. Learning of this tieatment, several of Mr. Anderson's neighbors asfced to have their policies cancelled. In answer they were told that this could not be done unless they paid a regristration fee of $3.50 each.

The farmers then turned the matter over to an attorney who proceeded to tell the company a few points in law. Several weeks elapsed and then the policy holders were told that if they paid a fee of $1 for each policy before June 1st, the policies would be cancelled. These notices were not leceived until June 4th, but the farmeis at once sent in their policies and the requned fee. Answer came to the effect that the dates for cancellation had passed and that they would now be compelled to pay a percentage of this yeai's premium. This the farmers refuse to do and are willing to trust to the courts for a fail and just decision.

The fortieth anniversary of the settlement of Lafayette by the Wellner Spaeth and other families, was celebrated at the home of Henry Wellner on Sunday.

The gathering was a large one. Mrs. Schiedel of Kidgely died on the 12th. Her death was caused by overexertion while working about the farm. The Fourth will be celebrated at Swan Anderson's grove in Lake Hanska.

W. R. Hodges of Sleepy Eye is the member of the populist state central committee for the ninth district. Mr. Laird of Redwood Falls holds the same place on the democratic committee.

Matthews in the land office at Marshall, was stricken with apoplexy Friday morning and died, Laing's home was at Windom and to the people of New Ulm he was well known as a leader in the Ancient Order of United Workmen. The body of Mrs. Wm. Hewitt of Morgan was found in the Minnesota river near her old home in Eden last week. She was found lying face downward in shallow water very near the place where she entered the river, and there is not the slightest doubt but that it was a case of suicide.

She had been visiting her daughter in Eden during the day and when she left it was, as she lid, to walk out and inspect the crops. She started directly towards the river, where she was found towards evening. Miss Hewitt had been a resident of western Brown county for over thirty years. Of late she has not exactly sound in mind and at times was so unbalanced as to forget everything, even things that had happened a moment or so before. She owned a farm and considerable money, but was known to worry over financial matters to such an extent as to produce melancholy.J Thor Moe, manager of the Winthrop creameiy, and Miss Julia Strand of Lake Hanska were married recently by Rev.

Norman at the Unitarian church in Linden. Capt. Chas. Hopkins of Fairfax is the candidate for auditor on the bolting mid-road populist ticket. Ernest Zieske andMiss Anna Schroeder of Courtland weie married at St.

Alexander Harkin and John and James Robinson were among the first settlers. Fort Ridgely was established ia 1853. The people of Evan will celebrate Independence day this year at Plath's grove in Praiiieville.

Ed. McGowan of Evan has purchased the farms of Christian and Ed. Danielson of Eden. DESERVED. The Sage of Nlnnlger Roasted to a Turn by Hon S.

M. Owen. In Wednesday's People's Party convention the sensational incident of the day was S. M. Owen's answer to the insinuating attacks of his old enemy, Ignatius Donnelly.

Mr. Owen was tembly in earnest, his scathing denunciation will go down in history as one of the seveiest tongue lashings ever administered to any man. Mr. Donnelly's attempt to reply was a miserable failure. The following is the Minneapolis Times' report of what Mr.

Owen said: "I defy any man living to prove to the slightest extent any chaige hurled at me by my enemy. I have been slandered and hounded for two years, but I have been silent under it all for the good of this party, for the salvation of movement, to prevent a factional fight in our ranks, and because I could not bring myself to wallow in the mire into which I was invited to descend. I was willing to be crucified for the good of the party. I would not be the cause of any factional fight in our party and I kept my silence. But now that silence is broken, I propose to show who is the traitor here.

"In 1888 the man who slanders me was supporting Bill Merriam and getting good money for it." Gieat confusion followed and it was several minutes before Owen could go on. "This man prates of loyalty. He never felt a single sensation of fidelity in all his life that could not be dissipated by the sight of a little lucre. Now he comes here and tells us to be loyal. As to fusion I can only say that to me principles are more than parties.

If the democrats will vote forVhat we believe in we will welcome them gladly under any name whatever. I want to bee principles triumph. We can triumph if we are united. Had we stood together we should today be the dictating party and it would be the democrats that would be tagging us. But we have been disrupted by slander and dishonorable acts inside of the party by men who now prate of perfidy.

This man is a leader who never smiled on a movement without blighting it. He supported the republican party in 1888 and for the first time in the history of the state that party was in the minority. He took the all'ance party under his wing and lost 20,000 votes and finally killed it. Two years ago he said he would ruin me. He has been at it ever since.

But the two years that this man has been pouring all the venom of his nature on me have been the most prosperous years of my life. His enmity and vindictive scurrility brought me friends by scores, who formerly held aloof from me because they feared I was on friendly terms with this monster." Here followed a regular riot. The crowd was in perfect confusioa, and a stampede seemed imminent. For ten minutes Owen's opponents stamped, shouted and howled. But he stood his ground and patiently waited.

"You shall hear me if I have to wait all night," cried he. Mr. Donnelly came to the rescue when a crisis seemed imminent. "I want my friends to give Mr. Owen a fair chance," he said.

"I only want the opportunity to defend my character from the assaults made upon me." JM or years," continued Owen, "I nave been silent from high and patriotic motives, buc when this man hurls his dastardly charges at me here in the face of my personal sacrifices for the party, I can no longer remain silent. Every charge by Donnelly reflecting on my loyalty and integrity I deny, and I have the evidence to prove them all vile and infamous slanders. Donnelly worked tii against me when was fighting to win victory for this party. When I was at work in the hot of the fight he was stabbing me in the back. If that is loyalty, for God's sake, what do you call disloyalty? He was treacherous in every campaign, and he has done more to disrupt the people's party than any other man.

If his fight on me when I represented this party and was working for its success is not disloyalty, then Benedict Arnold was a patriot. You say you want to conciliate Donnelly. What are you going to do to conciliate me? To conciliate Major Bowler and others whom this man has slandered and maligned all these years? If we want to be successful let us get rid of him. I believe his present name is not his right name, but a paraphrase of the euphonious title re befitting his Death of Conrad Zeller. The people of New Ulm were surprised Thursday morning to hear of the sudden death of Conrad Zeller from apoplexy.

Mr. Zeller, though advanced in years, has been spry and apparently in good health. Thursday morning when he went out into the garden he complained to no one of pain of any sort, but a short while after he was compelled to enter tne house. After remaining seated for a few moments he made an attempt to walk across the room, but, in doing so, he fell forward and died. The shock to his family was great, for not only were they taken by surprise, but they rtahzed that they had lost a faithful husband and father.

Mr. Zellei was born at Erbach in Wurtemberg on the 26th of November, 1826. Consequently he was nearly seventy-two yeais of age. When thirty years old he left Germany for America, locating in Ohio in the summer of 1856. A few months later he came to Minnesota and took up his home in Milford.

His energy and thrift soon told in bis favor, but in 1862 it was all undone by the ravages of the Indians. His own pioperty was destroyed, and his brother with all his family were killed. Mrs. Zeller herself died soon after from the effects of the scaie. After the outbieak Mr.

Zeller located in New Ulm. Here be engaged in various enterprises, but it was while opeiating the planing mill that he acquired his laigest acquaintance. People learned to respect him for his honest worth, his good citizenship and his conservative methods of living. They knew him to be a man of character, trustworthy and well-meaning ia his every act. The funeral occurred Sunday after noon under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and was largely attended.

A widow and several children are the deceased's survivors. The Sleepy Eye republicans elected a solid Eustis delegation to the county convention. It is the circumstances of men over which she has no control that is responsible for the old News. Wm. H.
