FOUND IN THE CITIES
A Story of a Maynard
Young Girl.
What the minneapolis Penny Press
Said About Her-A Hardworking
Father and His Recreant Daughter
==In a Questionable Resort.

Today's Minneapolis Penny Press
contains the following:
Annie Swartengren, pretty Man
kato girl, who came to Minneapolis
some time ago, and became an inmate
of the house of ill-fame at III Second
avenue south, where she was known
as Oracle Stout, was arrested by Sergt.
Burke, of the police court, this morn
ing at the request of her father, and
locked up at the Central station.
Mr.. SWartengren reached Mime
apolis in search of his daughter this
morning and as he had very good
idea as to where she was Sergt. Burke
had no difficulty in locating her. The
girl was not particularly infatuated
with the idea of being taken home
and at first entered ayigorous protest,
but when shown that such actions
would only work to her disadvantage
she ceased her kicking.
A search of the last city directory
and careful enquiry about town Gle.
velops the fact that there is such a
man as SWartengren in Mankato,
thought he appears to be but little
known. His address, which is prop
ably correct, is given in the directory
as No. S21 Seventh street, Columbia
park.
The man worked for a time carving
stone for the Patterson-Payne build
ing on South Front street, but he quit
Wednesday evening.
One of Swartengren's associates
named Anderson this morning told a
FREE PRESS reporter that Swarten-
gen worked with him for time, but
that he went to Minneapolis Wednes-
day-for what purpose he did not
know. Anderson also stated that
Swartengren had daughter about
eighteen years old whom he thought
was in Minneapolis.

COOK BOOK.

The ladies of the Baptist church
have struck something that every
good housewife should have and tina
every husband who wants something
good to eat should see that she is sup
piled with. 1t is '"The Mankato Cook
Book" just issued from the press of the
FREE PRESS office, and it is a little
gem. 1t contains over three hundred
and fifty receipts, covering everything
good to eat from pickles to to the MIC
est dessert. The price has been placed
at only IS cents, and as the ladies OF
the church will apply the funds to
church work, the cause should war
rant ready sale. Besides, the book
is worth twice the cost in any family.
The receipts are all original, and the
author of each is named.
Be sure and buy one of these books
when called upon, as you surely will
be.

WHAT GERLACh SAYS.
How the Movement May Be Best
Promoted.

At the close of the meeting OF the
board of trade a FREE Press reporter
saw superintendent Gerlach on the
situation. He states that while the
third story proposition is an excellent
one and in every way commendable,
theridea of the increase of the ground
space would more readily faeet with
favor by the government officials on
the theory that if the former were
adopted it would necessitate many al
formations in the plans for heating
and ventilation.
Mr.. Gerlach heartily approves of the
steps which have been taken to i'm
prove the building, and fully agrees
that the present plans are entirely
inadequate for the demand of a grow
ing city like Mankato, which in the
event of being carried out as they
now stand would necessitate an eX-
pensive alteration in a very short
time.
In any case, he says, none of the
proposed changes would delay the
completion of the building.

A BIG FAKE.
The Pioneer Press Story About Our
FOrger a 'sStraw Interview"


The story that appeared in Fri
days St. Paul Pioneer Press about a
man named Clark going on a big
drunk and forging the name of L..
Patterson & Co. to a check was all a
fake, SO far as it had anything to do
with Mankato parties. The story is
too absurd to be republished, for it
amounts to absolutely nothing, and
the reporter who wrote it must have
been, in that particular respect, too
good a fellow.
n. X. Clark, The Saulpaugh man
who was SO badly burned by the
forger's paper, read the story in the
ST. Paul paper yesterday afternoon.
Wondering why the Mankato author
tiles had not been notified if a man
of that description had been running
around loose, he went to Chief OF
Police Yates about it. The chief
promptly telephoned the day-clerk at
the Merchants in ST. Paul, and was
informed that the party in question
was not the one wanted here; that
his escapade had nothing to do with
MankatO, land, the whole affair was
private between himself and the man
Clark.

CHORAL SOCIETY.
Argument i'm Full of the New
Cantafa.

The Mankato Choral society is now
fully started on it's second year and
with much promise. The citizens of
Mankato are to be congratulated on
the efforts of this organization to
raise the musical standard of the city
to a par with that in even much
larger municipalities. The society is
planning for two concerts, one in
January, the other in May. The
latter to be an OratOrio from one of
the standard authors. The selection
to be given in January is Gaul's "Joan
Of Arc" a historical cantata. All
the characters are historical except
Philip. The argument briefly is as
follows: "Joan of Arc, the Maid of
Orleans, was born in Domremy, JAN
uary 16th 1412 Youths and maidens
are holding May festival. Philip, in
love with Joan, laments her absence.
Joan comes brooding over the wars of
France, shuns their festivities, sum-
moned by voices that become in
centives to her career, Joan enters
the village, and seeks the aid of
Baudricourt, governor of Vancou-
lewes. Joan, assuming mans garb, is
clad in armor, and mounted, proceeds,
accompanied by -four armed men,, to
Orleans. Philip follows. Their way
is full of peril; they sleep in the
woods and unfrequented spots. They
reach and enter Orleans. The siege
is raised. The English and Burgun-
dian forces retreat. Joan goes to the
cathedral and gives thanks. Other
victories follow; then comes reversals.
She is captured at Compiegne, tried,
condemned and led to the stake. The
youths and maidens of Domremy are
rebuked by the villagers, who ap-
proach with Philip, who tells the sad
sequel of history that has passed
into fame"
The society rehearsed the cantata
Tuesday eyenin for the first time,
and all are delighted with it. All
those who are celebrating about
joining the society should decide as
soon as possible, SO as not to lose any
rehearsal. Miss Griffin, with hel
usual grace and efficiency, deserves
the most cordial support of not only
all singers in our city joining the
choral, but there should be large
| list of honorary members from the
citizens. The fee is $500 for honorary
members, and this entities them tt
two tickets to each concert and al
rehearsals.

TURKEY SHOOT.
A Regular Butchery of The Cob
blerS.


William Witrock Saturday announc-
ed to the boys around town that he
had seventy turkeys at his place three
miles north of town which might be
had at one dollar per capita
Sunday afternoon his offer was
accepted, and "a company OF seven
went to the farm and proceeded to
make it warm for the birds. Each
man took number and the one who
shot the most shot into his numbered
paddle placed same distance away
took a bird.
The score resulted in ten each for
Phillips, Martin, Sontag, Conrad, Ro-
bel, Hoerr and Wright.

building as shown by the plans and
specifications, is but $50, 900 to 800, 900,
leaving an ample balance out of the
appropriation of 100000, to build the
third story.
A glance at the plans will demon
strate how inadequate the building
is to meet the demands that will be
made upon it by the public business
of Mankato. The postmasterS room
will be 12Xl4, while the same depart
ment in the building at Winona is
about 22x38. The lobby will be eleven
feet at the narrowestand fifteen feet at
the widest point. The largest vault
will occupy but 4X5 feet, and there
are already enough government papers
which must be kept for an indefinite
time to crowd the space completely.
The postmasterS room could be plac-
ed on the second floor and the clerks
room on the third, also the jury
rooms. The court room and Judges
private room could remain on the sec
ond floor.
Mr.. Hunt said that he had been in
formed by both the old and the new
superintendent and the contractor
that the foundation is strong enough
to sustain two more stories if neces-
sary.
The government has no authority
to retain the surplus OF the apprOpria-
ton. 1t was expected when the
money was given for the purpose, that
it would all be consumed in the work,
and it will not refuse our request for
more room if brought in proper form
before those whose business it is to
attend to such matters. He said our
senators and all the representatives
would readily assist in the movement,
and suggested that the board fOrmu-
late petition and appoint a COM
mittee to carry the proposition before
Secretary Carlisle, or call public
meeting and have all phases of the
movement discussed by the citizens.
There was some discussion following
Mr.. Hunts address. Messrs. Willard
and Pope favored the idea of enlarg-
ing the building upon the ground
: Mr.. Farr remarked that the work OF
| putting in the foundation had not
gone so far but that change might
!
be made, and that the removal OF a
! few tiers of stone at snIdI Expense
would enable the architects to make
/ the desired alterations in the plans
President Willard was in favor OF
some improvement in the building,
but he jumped on the third story idea
! with both feet. He said it would look
more like an office block than gov
ernment building and he had rather
see the appropriation returned
than used to increase its aerial con
struction.
John Klein remarked that because
the government architect had made
botch job of it was no reason the PEG
pie should endure his errors of judg
ment, but that if we are going to dc
anything about it we should begin to
day.
Mr.. Farr said, sarcaStically. that
when the architect made the plans he
expected somebody would stea
half"
Mr.. Hunt acquiesced in the PROPOSE
tion to enlarge the ground space O
the building, and stated that any i'm
provement would better the condi
lions in which the building had beer
placed.
The discussion was brought to
close by III. P. Jensen, who suggested
that the postmaster and ex-postmas
ter be included in committee OF fiv
to take immediate action in the mat

ter, giving as his reasons that it re-
quired the assistance of postmaster
to more thoroughly outline the needs
of postoffice. He moved that Messrs.
Hunt, Wise, Mcconnell, Farr and
Klein be appointed as such COM
mittee, and this notion was carried
without dissenting vote.
