WANTS $4,000 FROM THE CITY

Papers were served this afternoon
in damage suit brought by Joseph
Baumgartener against the city ofMan-
kato and the street railway company.
He alleges in his complaint that on
August 3lst last, and for three weeks
previous to that time Front street
was out:of repair between Walnut and
Hickory streets and was dangerous to
travel; that the earth had fallen away
from the outside of the rails of the
street car track, creating a deep hole
or rut midway between Hickory and
Walnut streets on the east side of the
track; that the hole was eight to
twelve inches deep, two feet wide and
fifteen feet long; that the top of the
rail was one foot above the street,
forming dangerous obstruction to
the street along the side of the hole:
that the street Car track was imprOp-
erly constructed, and was six to ten
inches above the street and that no
plank was laid on the outside of the
rails as was necessary and required.
The plaintiff was on August 3lst driv-
ing load of hay along the street and
in trying to get out of this
rut the wagon and load
were turned upside down by run
ming into the street car rail. The
plaintiff fell on the pole of the wagon,
the horses ran 600 feet and
cOllided with another wagon and fell
on top of the plaintiff, and the latter
was injured internally and on the
lower part of his back and his left
thigh. and his nerves and nerve cover
ings were injured. His injuries are
getting worse and are likely to cause
his death in the near future, and it is
doubtful whether he can ever perform
manual labor again. He is being
treated at TourtellOtte hospital at an
expense of about $500, and s. a day is
about the right amount for the time
that he looses and is unable to work
on his farm. For all this he asks
from the defendants the sum of SIO,-
000 Thomas Hughes is his attorney
Mr.. Hughes states that Baumgar-
tener is suffering severely and is in a
bad way. He considers that he has a
very good case against the city and
the street car company, and believes
that both are liable for damages.

RUN OVER.
A young Lad Badly Injured While
Stealing Ride on the Cars
Tuesday Night.

Those who have noticed young boys
catching onto and jumping off from
the cars as they move through the
city have been expecting to hear of
an accident at any time. One occur
ed last night and it should stir up the
police authorities to enforce the or
dinance about this matter if it does
not act as a warning to the boys who
indulge in this dangerous practice.
The train bonds have brought the
practice to the notice ,of Superinten-
dent Spencer, and the latter has ask
ed Mayor Weaver whether the police
authorities cannot stop it. Two or
three arrests and prosecutions would
put stop to it sooner than anything
else, and would prevent many acct
dents and perhaps save human life.
The accident last night occurred at
about nine o'clock near Marshall
street. Several young boys were steal
ing ride on freight train and the
train men were trying to chase them
off. George Soule, fourteen year
old son of S. C.Soule, was one of these
and he attempted TO cross the train
between two cars, when he lost his
footing and fell to the track under
the moving train. He was alert
enough to jump out from his perilous
position, but although he was able to
get his body outside of the rail there
was not time tosremOve his right leg
before it was under .the.wheel. Two
wheels passed over it about eight
inches above the ankle, breaking the
bone and splintering them badly. The
boy was removed to his home on South
Front street and DR.. Warner was
summoned and set the bone. 1t is
believed that the limb will be saved.
which is very fortunate, considering
the serious nature Of the wound.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE NORMAL

The work on the north wing of the
Normal school is nearly completed anc
it will be ready for use in very few
weeks. The brick work on the south
wing is about completed and the root
will be put on at once. Contractor
Burdick has large force of men at
work on the building and is doing a
thoroughly good job. At the same
time another force of men are at work
in the basement putting in new Rut-
tan furnaces, which are to heat the
entire building with hot air. They
are great improvement over the fur
naces formerly manufactured by this
firm, and either wood or soft coal can
be used as fuel. For the quantity of
fuel used very large amount of heat
is secured, owing to the form of the
| furnaces. By means of electric indi-
Gators the janitor while remaining in
the basement can ascertain the tenn
perature in any room in the building
and regulate it. This will save him a
great deal of walking up and down
stairs and will be more satisfactory
all around
The new chapel, which occupies the
second and third stories of the north
wing of the building, is so by 76 feet
and will have seats for 800 persons,
not including the gallery. This room
has windows on three sides and is
well lighted.
The fourth floor of the south wing
is being constructed especially for
gymnasium and will be fine one. 1t
will be large and well ventilated
The recitation rooms in the new
wings are all large and we'll lighted.
with high ceilings. The cloak and
toilet rooms will be in the basement
of the building. There will be con-
siderable remodeling of the old build
ing to be done, including the building
of new stairways and the tearing down
of the old ones.
The entire building presents an i'm
posing appearance from the street.
The architecture of the new portion
is very handsome and reflects credit
upon the designer, Mr.. Gerlach.
Mankato will be proud of the build
ing when it shall have been completed,
and the school will have that room to
grow in that has been denied it for
years past. With the increased room
the attendance cannot be long in
climbing up to 1000, having IN the old
building reached $50. The state of
Minnesota will get ample returns for
the Investment made in increasing
the schools facilities. -

parties. The crime created the great

EFFECTS OF COFFEE.

Coffee owes lis stimulating and re-
,reshing qualities to caffeine. says the
Boston Journal Of Commerce. 1t also
contains gum and sugar, fat, acids.
casein and wood fiber. Like tea, it
powerfully increases the respiration;
but, unlike it, does not affect Its
depth. By its use the rate of the pulse
is increased and the action OF the skin
diminished. 1t lessens the amount Of
blood sent to the organs of the body,
distends the veins and contracts the
caplllaries, thus preventing waste Of
tissue. 1t is mental stimulus of q
high order, and one that is liable to
great abuse. Carried to excess, it pro-
duces abnormal wakefulness, indiges-
ton, acidity, heartburn, irritabiIity
of temper, trembling, irregular pulse.
a kind of intoxication ending in delir-
1um and great injury to the spinal
functions. Unfortunately, there are
many coffee t1ppIers who depend upon
it as drunksrd upon hi1 dram. On
the other hand, coffee is OF sovereign
efficacy in tiding over the nervous sys-
tenn in emere encies. Coffee is also, IN
it's place, an excellent medicine. In
typhoid fever It's action is frequently
prompt and decisive. 1t is indicated
in the early stages before local COM

those receptacles fo.d it around his

pretty sure they are domestic.
The custom people once made a
