Wtrtbingtor &to*m> T«nna$MO a Yaar, $t.oo for Six Months. THUB8DAY, MAYft1878. The Mankato Record thinks Mr. Dunnill will be re-noaoinated. It says: "In the first district there is not a ripple ftp jthe surface. There is no-but doubt .hut what Mr. Dunnell will re ceive the unanimous support of the Re publican qonYention, and reap the re ward of his doings in a nearly unani mous election. Of course that will be serving him right." In tl\e case of war between Russia and England, intrigues of agents of both nations in. the United States Icate iromise to place this country in a del position.—Pioneer Press. When the contest becomes one be tween the two principles of Monarchy and Republicanism, as we believe it will, it will not need any special intrig neing of agents to involve the United States. W have steadily held to the view that the present European com plications would lead to such a conflict and we believe so now. That tramp who was hanged to a lamp post in Mankato turns out to be a man of straw. Arrah! You base cowards, to treat a poor man of straw that way, a man who never laid any thing in your way—except a straw, a man who was as innocent ot any crime as the babe unborn, so to speak. It is •aid that this execution, suspension, lynching and deep —nation of a taking off was intended to give warning to other men of straw to keep clear of Mankato. They are a fiery people up there and will not be trifled with. Men of straw prowling around their streets, and sleeping in their hay lofts and straw stacks, will be summarily jam med into a suit of clothes and hung up to every lamp post, as it were. We ad vise men of straw to give Mankato a wide berth and come to Worth ington where we dump them into the sloughs and leave them to give a pleasant mal arial tone to the atmosphere. The opinion that war between Russia and Great Britain is now inevitable, is almost universal, both in the diplomat ic and political circles of Washington. The foreign ministers, almost without exception, say there is no way out of the imbroglio, without a backing down on one side or the other that would a mount to a stigma of cowardice or iui bec I ity.—Pioneer-Press. The Worthington A A N E assert ed the same thing six months ago and has steadily predicted the most gigan tic war since the days of Napoleon. The indications are that before the summer is over England will make a furious onslaught upon Russia that Russia will not only successfully resist England but will push southward and overrun a good portion of Europe that the other powers will be compelled to range themselves on one side or the other, and that before the war is over the United States will be drawn into the contest. The upshot ought to be, and may be, the overthrow of Monar chy in i:titope and the triumph of Re publicanism. THE MILL DISASTER. On our outside will be found an ac count of the terrible mill disaster which occurred at Minneapolis Thursday eve ning last. A explosion occurred in the great Washburn Mill, and immedi ately following came another explosion which crushed the Thompson & Hoyt and Humboldt Mills adjoining, leaving the three mills in ruins. The crushed mills were soon in flames which spread to the Galaxy and Pettit & Robinson Mills, and the whole live structures were destroyed. The mills were among the finest in the world and contained 87 run of stona. The loss of life is es timated at 17 and the loss of property at $1,500,000. The amount of window glass destroyed in the vicinity is esti mated at $10,000. The shock was so distinctly felt in St. Paul that citizens of that city thought the explosion had occurred in their own midst. Tw men who were rowing on the river at St. Paul, nine miles away, say the riv er was so agitated as to till their shells with water. The theory is that the gases and fine dust of the mill ignited, causing the terrible calamity. The explosion oc curred about 7 o'clock in the evening when only the night force was on duty. If it had occurred before 6 o'clock the loss of life would have been much greater. Some express the opinion that the explosion was not an accident but the result of a wall-laid plan to destroy the mills. The facts that an explosion oc curred in three separate mills simulta neously, and that it occurred just at the time when the fewest men were likely to be in the mills, give some col oring of probability to this theory. WORTHIXGTOX. The Worthington A A N E says: 4 When the Southern Minnesota reaches us, which will be in a year or two,around Worthington will soon rank with Man kato, Rochester, and similar points as an important interior city. This is now a fixed future fact and its realiza tion win.uot.belong defened.' Lake Crystal had just the same im pression, when the cars reached that place-several years ago, but Lake Crys tal of to-day is the same as of yore, a beautiful little village and that is all.— Maukato Union. Well, well, has it come to this? Are we to be set down in a newspaper item on a level with the little village of Lake Crystal? Worthington has two rail roads now and the Southern Minneso ta coming, which will give us a direct eastern outlet to Milwaukee and Chi cago, just what Mankato has in the$1 VI inona & St. Peter. Worthington is the gateway through which pours the vast immigration into the country west of us. Worthington has now a larger railroad depot than Mankato and it is now undergoing enlargement which will make it twice as large as any de pot in Mankato. It is also rumored that the railroad shops from Sioux City are to be located here and that the train dispatcher from St. Paul will be sta tioned here. Things are now shaping so as to make Worthington the pivotal point on which the business and inter ests of the great St. Paul & Sioux City line turn. A year or two ago President Drake said While here that in a few years Worthington would be as impor tant town as Mankato and his opin ion on a matter of that kind is worth having. Worthington is exactly mid way between Sioux City and Mankato, the central point in what is admitted to be the finest prairie country in this State and Iowa. That a city of consid erable importance must grow up in the heart of this region, is evident at a glance, and that Worthington is to be that city all the signs of the times indi cate. Hence, by common consent, Worthington has been called the "hub." W have no "exaggerated" notions about a great city at this point, that Worthington is destined to be one of the most important of the inter ior cities of the State we have always maintained and still maintain. A TJtAXSJl'JOX PERIOD. Those who can read the time aright are agreed that the present period is one of transition from old to new in al most every field of thought and action. All the elements are at work to produce great changes, and the next ten years will probably bring about as memora ble events as have ever distinguished any era of the world's history. 1. In the domain of religion, there is going on a most wonderful change. Much as the devout adherents of the various churches may close their eyes to the fact, s»nd go on predicting the triumph of their particular creeds, they confess a lamentable indifference on the part of the great mass of men to re ligion in any of its old forms. Many of the old dogmas, notably that of an eternal hell, have lost their hold upon the people, and all the more intelligent even of the clergy, who still feel bound to preach the doctrine because they think men cannot be trusted unless held in check by some such nightmare, confess the fact, and are preaching love, mercy and education as the prop er means for saving men. Count Cav oursaid just before his death that he had thought to live to see the birth of a new religion. I was growing all a IOIUHI him at that time, and is now un der full bud and blossom and in a few years will be ripe for the healing of the nations. That religion will be Christi anity, stripped of theology and priest craft, and founded upt reason and daily and hourly revelation and inspiration, instead of upon mere faitli and the in spiration of thousands of years ago. 2. In the political world, the armies are already marshalling for a contest which promises, before it ends, to be the most gigantic and the most fruit ful of good to the race, of any warcouragingly. which has ever been waged upon the earth. Europe is alive with Republic an ideas and weary of Monarchy, and should a general European war grow out of the present Anglo-Russian com plications, we expect to see numerous uprisings in favor of Republicanism. France is a Republic now England is fit for self-government Germany is a live with the American idea and Italy and Spain even, which have writhed for centuries in the chains of political and church despotism, are as hungry for Republicanism as the negro slaves were for freedom at the time our own civil war occurred. The overthrow of Monarchy in Europe is neither impos sible nor improbable within the next decade. 3. In the field of social questions, there is the saine distuibance. The "tramp nuisance,"' as it is called, is but one phase and part of a stupendous whole. The Communists are organized and drilling in Chicago and the Social ists in St. Louis. The latter claim an organization of 60,000 members in the United States. The next Presidential election will dtvJop a strength for the clement which demands radical changes and reforms in the relations of labor and capital, which will astound thosj who cannot now see the great uprising on these questions coming. We should not be surprised to see what is now called the National Party come up as the leading political party in the next national campaign. WORTHINGTON. AS SEES BY THE GLOBE CORRESPOXD EXT. C. L. Hall, who is writing up the co.mtry for the St. Paul Globe, Farm er's Union, a:.d other papers, does full justice to Worthington. From his let ters we extract: The town claims a population of from five to seven hundred. She has her large good school building, Congrega tional, Presbyterian and Methodist churches, United States land office, el evator and flouring mill, the latter con taining live run of burrs, four or five hotels of various styles and capacities, a court house, two weekly newspapers, the largest depot on the line, the neces sary goods houses, lumber yards and other concomitants, in addition to the usual lumber of professional gentle men—lawyer, doctors and' gospel ex pounders. Many of these new towns have from one to three lakes each, ap proximating their borders, where the inhabitants can gather ice in winter and navigate their waters in summer. Worthington has its west and east O kabenas, the former six miles in cir cumference and the latter three. They are two pretty bodies of water, and a bound in fish and fowl. These enter prising |eopl6 propose to establish a pleasant drive-way for carriages quite the larger lake, and adorn it with a row of trees on each of the sides, thus affording pleasure parties and the towns-people a pleasant place for recre ation. Less than two miles away is another lake, the Ocheeda, a body of water about twenty miles in circumfer ence. Of some of our business men, he says: The Okabena flouring mi'l is one of the interesting enterprises of the town. Its capacity is a hundred barrels of flour in twenty-four hours, motor, steam fuel, hay and the furnace con sumes about seven tons of hay in the manufacture of one hundred barrels of flour. A man and a boy run the engine and do the firing. The hay.isof course slough article, costing, loose laid down, 75 per ton. It is fed to the flames with a pitchfork, and that operation is all work and no play. There is no lack of fire, but it requires a vast amount of stuffing. That Kind of fuel is much cheaper than any other they can get here. It costs less than simply the freight on wood, and the latter article is not more than $7 or $8 per cord for the best seasoned hard maple, deliver ed. Some families use twisted hay for heating their cooking stoves and warm ing their habitations. It makes a hot fire, and in a hay country like this it is far more economical than wood or coal. These mills have four run of stone for wheat and one for feed, of which the latter is turning out two hundred bush els per day. In connction with the mill is an elevator having a capacity of twenty thousand bushels. The two properties are owned by C. Z. Sutton, and cost in the ajgregate about $40, 000. Joseph Lowe, a very skillful mil ler, is the gentleman in charge of that department. N flour in this part of the country has a better reputation than the Okabena brand, manufactur ed at this mill. Two of the burrs are four and a half feet each in di imeter and the other three are four-foot stones. There are five middling purifiers com plete, and the entire works are in per fect working order and tuned to profit able industry. Miner & Parsons, a real estate firm, of Worthington, sold during the month of April, mostly in Nobles county, but a portion in Murray and Pipe stone counties, 10,000 acres of railroad lands, and 10«WX) acres of government lands and improved farms, the greater portion of it to actual settlers for cadi. In the meantime this company loaned out cash $10,000 on real estate to run five years at 12 per cent, per annum. Of prime railroad lands there yet re mains for sale in Nobles county alone about 145,000 acres the desirable gov ernment lands are about all taken up, and settled upon. There are many large good farms being tilled in the county this season, and the sod is being turned for hundreds more. The Mur phy Bros., two enterprising young men from Ne Jersey have recently pur chased a second-hand farm near town of several hundred acres, and they are putting it in shape for a good home. They are not anticipating a fortune from the venture this year, but they will lay the foundation upon which they expect to build a competence, and show what industry combined with good judgment is capable of wresting from these alluvial acres. Bennett So Gris sell, a lumber firm here, are soon to e rect a two-story brick building, the low er story to be devoted to a stock of gen eral merchandize of their own, and the upper story will be finished off for offl ces and other purposes. Business of all kinds is looking up. and people wear a smile and have faith in a brighter day ahead. N one down this way com plains of hard times or a lack of busi ness, and there are no idlers except in a very few instances of pure cussed* ness. COUNTY NEWS. INDIAN LAKE.
