that the cemetery in Hebron was
desecrated last night, .and the same
number of gravestones as in the other
cemeteries molested.
The interior of the Mankato Mer-
camille Co.'S. store has been remodel

back, where there is more light and
ventilation, thus making more room
in the store proper. A. Engelbret has
accepted the position of book keeper
for the company.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

At ten o'clock F'ridayforenoon while
VIM. Russell, was driving one of Dick
Hammett's coal wagons back of the
Model Clothing House with heavy
load of coal, he drove against the low
stone guard around the open basement
area. The pole was thrown around
and the inner horse was pushed into
the area and fell a distance of eight
or ten feet. The other horse was
drawn in on top of the first one. AS
soon as possible the harnesses were
cut and the horses were freed, and
were found to be practically un-
injured. They were led out by way of a
stairway. 1t was narrow escape for
the team.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Mrs. Preece, a teacher of Physical
Culture in the schools, addressed the
teachers on the subject on WedneS-
day eve and second grades on Thurs
day.
Many pupils from other townships
and villages have entered the upper
grades on examination.
The teachers meetings Of last
week aided all in getting directly at
their work the first of the week.
The number of pupils in the ew
grades of West Mankato and Union
justified the extra teachers.
The Supt has his morning office
from s to 9 o'clock.
The young men who were kept
from school on account of the hard
times, are no W returning,
Most of the teachers came back tC
the work reinforced by their visit to

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The new school year at the Normal
has opened most auspiciously. Not
withstanding the hard times the at
tendance is even larger than last year.
The entering or sc" class is unusually
large and of good quality. Most of
the members entered on certificates.
The graduating class will again close
ly approach one hundred. and will be
a strong one in quality.
The Model school is also well filed.
Several children were refused admis-
sion into the primary department the
first day from the lack of room-a
condition quite without precedent so
early.
Work upon the new wings is pro-
crossing rapidly and satisfactorily. If
the weather continues favorable the
north wing will have a completed
roof by the end of the month. The
walls of the upper or assembly room
story are well advanced. 1t is evident
to the observer. that the new assembly
room will be noble in size, in charac.
| ter and in outlook.
Contractor Burdick made the pleas.
ing announcement yesterday that il
nothing untoward happens, the two
wings will be completed ready for oc
cupancy by the end of the second
quarter, in January A large force o.
carpenters will be at work as soon al
the walls are completed. The addition
al, room is greatly needed and can
not come too soon.

The headstone of Emma j. Jones is
down, but has been down for several
years.
In all, twenty-four graves were mo-
ested, and the injury amounts to
many hundreds of dollars.
The question asked on all sides is
"who has done all this infamous
work." A now generally accepted
theory is that the work is that of an
insane man, whose dlsordered mind
teaches him that he has mission to
perform in destroying grave stones.
Insane persons display super human
cunning and strength in their antics,
and it is believed to be entirely pos.
sible for one man to have done the
work. The grave stones in the Min
neopa cemetery are not set as firmly
as those in Glenwood cemetery, and it
is possible to push over the most OF
them, and some would break In the
fall. In Glenwood cemetery the use
of heavy instrument was necessary
and was clearly shown in many places
but this is not the case at Minneopa
cemetery. The work was probably
done very late at night in both cases
at an hour when people are deep il
slumber. A young man passed by the
Minneopa cemetery at ten O'Clock
Wednesday night and noticed nothing
wrong.
Whoever has done the miserable
work has left no clue behind him
The police looked over the Minneop;
cemetery today but could find moth
ing that would lead to finding TIT
perpetratOr of the outrage.
The residents of South Bend town
ship are indignant at the occurance
and are greatly saddened by it. If i
is found out that any responsible per
son is the guilty party it will go hare
with him.

SKIPPED OUT.

VIM. w. Carvey and A. Palmer Car
vey are masons by trade and have
been in Lake Crystal during the past
summer. They boarded with Mr.. Es-
teIle, and purchased horse and bug
gy. 1t is claimed that they paid ,all
but $50 on the horse and all but 500 on
the buggy. They drove away couple
of days ago, and returning on foot are
said to have gone into their boarding
house and thrown their belongings
out of the window and then ito have
gone out and taken their possessions
with them. They have not put in an
appearance since the night ofSept. T.,
and a warrant was gotten out for
their arrest yesterday and Constable
G.. M. Cole came to this city in search
of the men. 1t was thought that
they had come to this city, but search
failed to reveal anything of the
whereabouts of them or the horse and
buggy. They probably gave it out
that they were coming to Mankato as
a blind. To strengthen this, they
purchas' d tickets to this city. They
are wanted for jumping board bill
and illegally disposing of the horse
and buggy. They owed Mr.. Estelle
$50. VIM. W. Caryey is Al years of
age, and A. Palmer Carvey SO years.
The @. M. & ST. P. road has with
drawn it's suit against theOmaha road
growing out of contested land grants
in Southern Minnesota where the
Southern Minnesota division of
the Milwaukee road crosses the
Omaha at.Prairie Junction, and has
filed notice to that effect in the coun-
ties of Watonwan, Martin, Jackson,
MOBILES, Murray, Blue Earth, Pipe
stone and Rock, where the lands in
dispute are located. BY the action
the Milwaukee road has taken, it re.
| linvuishes all claim to land grant OF
approximately 100000 acres which is
valued in round numbers at $2,,
300, 600. The case was tried in the
United States district court and
decided against the Milwaukee,
and it carried it to the United
States circuit court Of appeals
and was again decided against them.
They then appealed to the United
States supreme court, which is now
withdrawn the bulk Of the lands af-
fected, are in Jackson and MUIR ay
counties. The difficulty arose from
the intersection of two land grants
given by the general government to
| the state of Minnesota for the build
ing of line of road from Houston
west to the state line, and from St
Paul southwest to the Iowa line
The withdrawal of the suit settles
the title of the lands in question with
the Omaha road.
