It was not very well cooked sometimes, and
ne often ate fast.
When hunting or fighting day would often
pass without anything being eaten at all.
Yet he never had dyspepsia.
He never "dieted."
We hear too much about "dieting" these
days.
A man mustn't eat pie, or cabbage, or cake,
or beans or this and that
He mustn't eat very much and he must do ID
very slow. He must never drink when he
eats. He mustn't hurry. He mustn't worry.
And 80 it goes.
This is all very good advice. But it would
worry q man to death to remember 1t all.
Why can't we live like the Indian in a
healthy, hearty, natural way?. Because we
have suoh weak stomachs. But how did the
Indian possess such perfect strong, digestion?
By taking that medicine of his, Sagwa, when
ever he felt there was anything wrong with
him. That Sagwa we have now employed
him to make for US. If you would take the
natural American remedy for dyspepsia,
Kickapoo Sagwa, you, too, would not know
what weak stomach or dyspepsia was.
Thanks to the efforts of the KickapoO Hedt.
cine Company, Indian Sagwa and other
Kickapoo Indian remedies are obtainable OF
any druggist, and their genuine curative
value is beyond comparison.

THE PARK MATTER

Mayor Weaver occupied nearly a
column in Tuesdays Rerieao in an at
tempt to explain his double position
on improvement of the park.
In trying to explain his action in
defeating the resolution introduced
in the council at the last meeting he
states that his reason for so doing is
that this is the wrong season of the
year to commence park improvements,
\ and carries the idea that the
members of the council who favored
this resolution defeated similar pro-
position made by Mr.. Fowler and Mr..
Weaver last spring.
This is extremely misleading, and is
a very lame defense of his action.
The records of the proceedings OF the
council will show that the resolution
introduced last spring was mainly to
create another city officer in man to
look after the park, and to provide
him a residence on the grounds. The
resolution did not provide for remov-
ing the stables and horse training es'
adjustments, or for the opening of the
park to the general public. -Four OF
the aldermen very wisely refused to
give their sanction to any such
scheme. At the same time they ad,
vocated and urged improvement OF
the park and it's being opened to the
public.
Mayor Weaver states that the city
is receiving SIS rental for the use OF
the park as horse pasture and breed
ing stable. Does Mr.. Mayor think SIS
per annum sufficient return
upon an investment of $4,000, and a
fair compensation for keeping the
public out of the park, especially in
consideration of the fact that the city
is paying 5000 annual interest upon
park bonds?
If Mr.. Weaver is sincere in his de-
sire to improve the park and it is only
the question of the season of the year
that stands in the way, the park GER
tainly ought to be improved next
spring. But we predict that when
that time comes he and his followers
will find some other excuse for delay.
ing the matter as it was apparently
decided before his election that moth
ing was to.be done during his admin
istration to interfere in any way with
the present occupants of the park.
This condition of things is greatly to
be regretted as it is time the public
was getting some use of the park
which has cost so much money.
Those who predicted during the
spring campaign that Mr.. Viewers
candidacy was in the interest of the
horse establishment located in the
city park were afforded at the last
council meeting ample reason to say

HNothing can probably be expected
in the way of park Improvements
during the present administration,
but the citizens of Mankato will nc
doubt see that the situation is not
prolonged beyond the next city cleo

BOUND OVER.

The preliminary examination OF
Thomas Griffin on the charge of as
saultlng his aged father and breaking
his collar bone took place in the mu-
nicipal court Wednesday. County
Attorney Benedict appeared for the
state, while Griffin conducted his side
of the case. Larry Griffin was first
put on the stand. He stated that his
real name is Lawrence Griffin, but
that he is generally called Larry. He
went home Monday noon and had din
ner at the noon hour. Fifteen min
utes after dinner his sJn, Thomas,
came in by way of the alley with a
watermelon. He said that if he had
a revolver he would shoot his father.
The old man told him to get one and
shoot him, and started down a board
walk toward the barn. Thomas fol.
lowed him and the witness thought
that he picked up piece of iron in
the barn and struck him with it,
knocking him down. Thomas, after
doing this, ran past him and out
through the alley. Before he picked
himself up, Larry looked and saw
that it was Tom who hit him and
which way he ran. Tom did not say
anything. Witness fell on plank
walk, striking his shoulder and hip.
When he got up he did not think that
he was much hurt, but soon he began
to feel pains, and suspected that a
bone was broken. He asked the min
lister of scandinavian church as to
his injury and afterwards saw Drs.
Mcmahon and Webster, and later saw
DR.. Warner, who bandaged the wound.
DR.. Warner testified to the nature
of the wound. This concluded the
evidence on the part of the state.
Thomas Griffin took the stand on
his own behalf and attempted to
prove an alibi; but his own witnesses,
whom he brought to assist in proving
the alibi, testified that he was at the
house about the time that Larry Grit
fin stated that he was assaulted
Thomas stated that he went to Ed.
Bradley's store and purcha sed a water
melon and after talking with Louis
Hayes awhile went home. He and
his mother ate the water melon. She
told him that Larry had thrown her
down and hurt her wrist. He went
to get doctor to examine her and did
not 60 toward the barn and did not
see, speak or assault his father. He
did not say that he would shoot him
if he had revolver.
Mrs. Griffin testified to helping to
eat the water melon, and said that
Tom did not assault his father. She
was not where she could have seen it.
She sat with her son during the ex-
animation and sympathized with him
although her husband was carrying
his arm in sling and suffering from
his injuries.
Ed. Bradley, Louis Hayes and Mag

fms wherea bouts Monday noon.
This closed the case for the defense.
Griffin wanted to get doctor who
should say that there was really moth,
ing the matter with his father. The
defense is that it Larry is injured as
claimed he did it by falling down
himself.
Judge Porter bound the prisoner to
the December term of court, and
placed the bail at $500, which, Griffin
was unable to furnish.
The examination afforded a good
deal of amusement to the spectators.

The Age Of Ste m.


Ideas sometimes slumber for ages with
out fruition-like the grains of wheat found
in the wrappings of Egyptian mummes.
Two thousand years ago. one Hero phil
osopher of Alexandria, Egypt made
steam turbine and hot air engine. Their
development went no farther than curious
mechanical toys. 1t remained for men
seventeen hundred years later to see that
the idea was applicable to doing the worlds
work. In fact, none tried to make human
labor anything more than main strength
and awkwardness until the seventeenth
century. The first treatise on steam was
published in 1901. In 1878 the first en-
-gine having cylinder and piston was
built About that time some one operat-
ed an engine by successive explosions of
gunpowder in the cylinder-the crude idea
of our present gas engines. The great i'm
pulse to the steam engine was given in
1863. when James Watt invented the steam
jacket to keep the cylinder always hot.
and then the separate condensing chamb-
er for the waste product. Think of it
only century that the steam engine has
been practical worker-and now no part
of the world but is reached by the steam
er or the locomotive Ten millions of
people are served, ten great states are
traversed by the lines of the Burlington
system, and but for the steam engine they
would not have been. The moral is, to
buy railroad tickets from the agents of the
Burlington Route. or to write to w. J. c.
