HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Moses ProsSer, a Stranger, Re
Iieved of His ValuableS.

Moses Prosser, of Cleveland, Ohio, was
held up by couple offoot pads Monday
night and robbed of his watch and mon
ey. He is stone polisher by profes.
sion and a stranger TO the cityi having
arrived only Monday and put up al
the CommercialHouse.M Monday night he
thought he would go out and take in the
sights of the city and in the course OF
his wanderings INDUCED too freely in
the flowing bowl. He met a couple OF
young men who, about ten O'Clock, per-
suaded him to accompany them towards
the Omaha depot on the pretext of
showing him where his hotel was. When
the party had reached an out of the way
place near the Linseed Oil works one OF
his companions suddenly seized Pros
ser's arms and pInioned them back OF
him, while the other assailant slapped
his hands over Prosser's mouth to keep
him still. They then threw him down
and gagged him and went through his
pockets, taking silver watch valued at
So, and all his money, amounting to $40.
The two robbers then fed. Prosser
made complaint to police officers at the
Omaha depot and Tuesday morning two
Young men named Chas. Graves and Ed.
Greenbush were arrested charged with
the robbery. Mr.. Prosser instantly re-
cognlzed Greenbush and is pretty sure
that Graves was his other assailant.
Both ofthese young men are well known
about the city and this is not the first
scrape that Greenbush has been in. Both
deny having anythingto do with the af-
fair.
Graves was discharged Tuesday after
noon, the evidence failing to hold him.
Two strangers were arrested on suspi-
cion of being implicated in the robbery,
but will probably be discharged.
Ed. Greenbush, who was arrested for
participating in the robbery of Prosser,
was up in municipal court yesterday
afternoon and bis preliminary examine
ton put offuntil ten o'clock Friday fore
noon. The police in searching for the
other foot pad. The case against Green
bush seems strong one. The penalty
of his crime Is not less than five nor
more than ten years in Saltwater. City
Attorney Freeman appeared for the
county in all these cases, in the absence
of County Attorney Smith.

Consumption Durable.

Since. the fact that consumption is both
preventable, and in its earliest stage
durable, it has lost much of it's terror.
If the first symptoms are at once recog-
nlzed, and the proper remedy applied,
very few, If any one, need die of con.
sumption, which is really lung-scrofula.
Like many other diseases this formid-
able one grows out of impure blood, and
this, in turn, from a diseased liver.
Hence, we have the hacking cough, the
the pains in chest, the inf1amed lungs,
and all of the symptoms of Fastening
consumption, all the result of deprayed
blood and diseased liver. The use of

LINsEED OIL WORKS.
An Establishment Of Which Mankato is
Proud.
How the on and on Cake is Made

One Of the greatest of the growing In
dustries that combine to make MankatC
the empire city of Southern Minnesota
is her Linseed Oil Works. Few of oui
citizens can appreciate the great benefit
which tins estab lishment has been 10
Mankato and to the entire southern part
of the State, furnishing market for
crops that never fail and spreading the
name and fame of the city TO the entire
world. Those who have visited the
company's plant at one time on another
would be surprised to note the improve
ments that are constantly being made
there.
The buildings include the mill proper,
40xl00 feet, a warehouse for oil, etc.,
75xl50 feet, two elevators having ca
pacity of l25, 900 bushels each, two tank
houses, office, and boiling house. The
tanks number twenty-eight, and have a
capacity of 5000 barrels. The machinery
that runs this vast plant consists of two
75.horse power boilers, l50-horse pow
er Buckeye engine two hydraulic pumps,
five set of rollers, and eleven presses.
To supply the demands of the mill q
vast amount of seed is required. The
farmers are raising flax to larger ex-
tent every year, and find il their most
profitable crop (chinch bugs won't touch
it). The seed ALWAYS commands high
price, bringing at present about Sl.40 a
bushel. With an average yield of from
twelve to fifteen bushels an acre, 1t Will
plainly be seen that one years crop will
pay for the land. The establishment of
the fibre-ware works makes the crop all
the more valuable, furnishing as it does
a market for the straw. The annual re-
ceipts of seed at the mill are 450, 600 BUSH
els. The daily consumption is 1900
bushels, out of which is produced 70 bar
rels of oil and so tons of oil cake. From
thirty to forty men are employed in the
mill.

INSPECTION OF SEED.

A man enters the car of seed when
side-tracked at the mill and with samp-
Ter takes 4S small samples of seed from
the car. This seed is thoroughly tested,
pound weighed, then cleaned, re-
weighed, and the shortage shows the
dockage to be taken from the entire car.
A pound of this sample lot of seed is put
into small bag, the bag marked with
the car number, date and amount OF
dockage, and laid away for reference
The seed is also locked for moisture.
This season the seed is dry and fair in
quality.
The whole process of making oil and
oil cake is full of interest, and the visitor
to this prosperous mill cannot but take
with him pleasant impression of the
good management and enterprise that
have brought the product of the Manka.
to Linseed Oil Mill TO such recognized
high standard in The markets Of the
world.
