A Hayward Youth.

The attention of the Municipal Court
was occupied all day Tuesday in hear
ing testimony against Phillip Brady on
the charge of petty larceny. The trial
was before q jury, and after about three
hours deliberation verdict Of guilty
was returned. and Judge Porter gave
the prisoner three months in the county
Jail. the extent allowed by the statute.
For several weeks Brady had been
wor king at the Washington House, ant
at the time of the theft was doing
chamber work tor some of the young
men boarders. Ashley Norvey, Il stu
dent in the Normal School was board
ing at the hotel. and in the bottom OF
his trunk had concealed $50 in money.
Upon the day of the theft he neglected
to lock the trunk, and in the evening
discovered that $50 of the amount had
been stolen. Suspicion Immediately
pointed to Brady, he was arrested, and
as before stated, convicted.
Brady is young man only 20 years
of age. Naturally, he is good boy to
work, obedient, and has pleasant face,
but for some months he has been on the
down grade. Last summer he became
implicated in quarrel with IA young
fellow about his age, and in the heat OF
passion cut his adversary across the leg
with razor, for which offense he served
term in Jail. His conduct should be
an example of warning to others. Had
he taken just twenty-five cents more,
the penitentiary would have claimed
HIM, and the fact that lie did not steal
the whole of the $50 is self-evidcnt that
he was fully advised of the extent of
his punishment In case OF detection.
But from his record of the past few
months there is little doubt but what
he will eventually end his career in
States prison. Terrible to contemplate
is such fate.

The Same Old Story.

The malignant and unreliable quaint.
ty that presides over the columns Of the
weakly Resisw makes himself ludicrous
in the eyes of an intelligent public
this week by giving what he calls a
"racy chapter in Blue Earth county
politics" The discourse INDUCED in
is simply the same old story which has
been rehashed in the columns Of that
sheet three times three times-the only
refreshing difference being the elonga.
tion of the lies to about double their
accustomed length.
A great ado is made about federal
officers" running things with high
hand, when the writer admits IN the
outset of his series of falshoods that
there were but two. But, to car

sition in the third district to Mr.. Morris.
1t was not because the senatorial ques-
ton entered into the matter one iota,
further than all the candidates were
known to be Window men. The feel

While Mankato has been exceptionally

cows that lies the great secret OF tho
dairyman's success financially.
The care and attention paid the COW
arc secondary considerations. The signs
that indicate her real worth are natures
own work and no human agency can
develop them. Skill in feeding may
aid in producing great results, and bring
her up to the highest capacity.
We cannot expect superior products
from inferior animals. 1t Is not the
breed but the manner of breeding that
gives character to cows. All breeds
have their inferior and superior grades,
it is therefore the result Of breeding
that produces the highest standard Of
excellence.
There are three signs to be observed.
the milkveins, escutsheon and butter.
veins. All cows have these signs in q
greater or less degree, and her value for
the dairy is in proportion to these
marks.
Some persons have been led to be.
ieve that pedigree alone is the cause of
these great results, aud have paid
exorbitant prices for cows when their
bntterveins were quite inferior, and
therefore were only second in quality.
Buyers Of pedigree stock should exer.
else good judgment in selections if they
intend to engage in the dairy business.
Milkveins and cscutcheon indicate n
great flow of milk, but not quality.
For butter the size and length of the
bnttervein shows the value of the COW.
The farmers pecuniary interest lies in
the selection OF his stock. Farmers
that buy high-blnoded stock for dairy
purposes should look ut the butter and
milk signs as the principle factors, and
not the pedigree furnished them.

by way of parenthesis we would say
that the charge will go we'll with the

is one whose action We do propose to
defend against the intriguing deception
Of the lick spittle editor OF the Rerie~.
and that individual is none other than
the editor of THE FREE PRESS. We
were with him throughout the entire

his action in every particular. That he

the candidates in retaliation for the
supposed slight given them in the nom
mating convention, and we felt it our
duty to stop the split if possible. We
saw several prominent gentlemen in the
Lake, reasoned with them over the
situation, and they pledged that Mr..
Morris should not be injured. The
result of the vote demonstrates whether
or not these gentlemen were true, and
no one Will question the honesty OF pur-
pose of the editor Of the FREE PRESS.
The Rerie,o has several times, in implied
terms, intimated that he would have the
scalp of THE FREE PRESS, but if that
day ever comes it will see the hide Of
the Repiew man bleaching on the fence,
and don't you forget it.
The excuse made for Morris course
is untenable. Mr.. Morris has unques.
tionably made the mistake Of his life
and NO amount OF soft soap will clear
his skirts from just censu,e and con-
demnation. In dealing with Mr.. Nor

That part OF industry which IL con-
nected with the agricultural interest OF
Blue Earth county dairying, is now dis
cussed with much interest, and should
demand the attention of all who can
avail themselves of Its advantages, but
at the same time they should exercise
that degree of caution that all business
men use when they engage in an occu-
patton that they do not fully understand
or are uneducated in.
The first move aud the most impor.
