HORSE A GROWING
FAVORITE.
THE

1t is said that the horse is greater
favorite this year than ever before
as regards his trotting capacity, and
the popularity of good races is on the
increase. Probably no gathering of
trotters in the northwest is more
eagerly looked forward to than that
to be held in Minneapolis the first
week in July, and it is expected it
will be one of the most important
events of the season. No effort has
been spared by the management to
make the meeting successful and sat-
isfactory in every way. The track
has been kept in perfect order and
the arrangements for the accommo-
dation and comfort of the patrons
greatly improved. The grand stand
has been enlarged and its seating
capacity doubled and new chair seats
put in. And it would be hard, if not
impossible to get together a nobler
collection of horses than those which
will appear on the Minnehaha track
Look at the entries in the free-for-all
trot: Directum, Fantasy, Klamath,
Nightingale, Mark Sirius, Kentucky
Union and David B, and in the free
fOr-all pace such horses as Robert j :,
the king of all PAGERS; Seal, Hal
Pointer, La Belle and others.
The performances of many OF these
horses during the past few weeks
clearly indicate that with favorable
weather it is far from improbable that
many records will be broken. Up TIC
date no very hard work has been
given any of the horses at present on
the track, but they are without ex'
ception improving in condition each
day.
But not the least important feature
of the Minneapolis meeting, is the
fact that the attention of the breeders
generally, throughout the country
will be attracted to the possibilities
in the direction of successful breed
ing in this state.
Horse breeding is as yet in its in
! fancy in Minnesota, and the results o.
the few years which have been deyot
ed to it, will be closely watched by
critical eyes. Judging from what has
been accomplished in so short space
| of time, it is more than possible thai
the most beneficial outcome OF thl'
meeting will be the attraction o.
breeders to this state, thus practically
adding new industry to Minnesota
source of wealth. Not alone the at
tention of outsiders will be attracted
but, as all the railroads running int
Minneapolis have made excursion
rates for the benefit of those whC
wish to attend the races, who liv'
within radius of $50 miles, it is con
fidently expected that many OF tn
residents within that circle will at
tend and, if results prove satisfying
TO them they will need no further en-
enlargement to at once engage in tn
occupation of breeding fine horses.

SUNDAYS HAIL STORn

Sunday afternoon severe rain
and hail storm occurred over stretch
of country including Madison Lake
Large quantities of water and hal
fell, the hail being of considerable
size.
At Lake Washington a heavy rain
occurred during the afternoon, pre-
ceeded by lighter shower. Many
were out ION the lake when it oc.
Cured.
The rain ceased to fall at a point
several miles east and north of the
city, and while the roads were dusty
towards the city, they were very
muddy and every rut filled with
water further on.
Many people from the city were at
the lakes.
The hail storm was severe at Smiths
Mills and extended through Leroy,
cutting down the corn on Nels
Nyquist's farm. 1t also extended to
st. Clair. Corn suffered somewhat
over this tract, and small grain was
lodged.

HELD ON SUSPICION.
II. w. Larson Arrested on Serious
Charge.

Near the hour of three o'clock
Wednesday afternoon at the farm of
Jas. Morris, three miles west of
Mapleton, says the Enterprise, Mrs.
Adolph Oachs became reluctant vic
tim in the hands of tramp peddler.
AS the lady had not been feeling well
on that day she lay down on couch
shortly after the dinner hour by the
side of two-year old child and soon
fell asleep. Mr.. Oachs had gone to
whis ork in field near by in view of
the house, and in course of the af-
ternoon noticed a peddler carrying
two heavy valises advance toward his
home and said to himself he would
keep an eye on the fellow as he was a
suspicious looking character-dark
complexion and sandy hair-and
might work mischief. But as to keep
ing his eye open Mr.. Oachs was some
what negligent, for it appears that
the peddler broke open the screen
door which had been fastened by a
hook from within, went into the
room and by the use of chloroform
upon Mrs. Oachs and the child he
made quick work of his deed and was
soon on his way again. The lady in
reporting the case to her husband
said that she had felt hand placed
upon her brest and thought he had
returned from the field for some pur-
pose and made an effort to speak
when the tramp told her that if she
screamed he would kill her and then
applied the chloroform from which
she regained her senses late that
night. Mr. Oachs was in Mapleton
Thursday looking after clue to the
fellows whereabouts.
Saturday man answering the de-
scription was in this city and pur-
chased a ticket at the Milwaukee
depot for Mapleton. He had not been
in Mapleton five minuets before he
was arrested on supicion of being
party wanted. He is being held there,
and will have his hearing tomorrow.
He gave the name of HI. w. Larson
and strongly denied the charge. 1t
seems to be the opinion of a good
many in Mapleton that there is some
mistake about the matter somewhere.
Tomorrow's developments may throw
some light on the matter.

OBITUARY..
From the Whittier (Cal.) Register.

We are panied to say that the sick
ness of Hiram w. Mendenhall, men
toned in last weeks issue, terminal
ed fatally about 1890 Wednesday
noon of this week. All that human
love and skill could do was done for
him from the first but without avail
to save. Mr. Mendenhall was an
honored, upright, industrious man, an
effectionate husband and father, a
devoted Christian, and his death is
felt to be great loss to this COM
munity and sad bereavement to his
many kindred and friends both East
and West. A large number of sympa-
thizing neighbors and friends gather
ed at his late home in East Whittier
Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock
and followed the remains to the M.
E. church, of which he was worthy
member and steward. Here impress
sive, comforting services were held
conducted by the pastor assisted by
Rev. A. G.. Hazard. The floral offer
ings were beautiful and appropriate.
Among these were large wreath and
anchor of pure white roses, prepared
by the Woman's Relief Corps: white
| cross, a basket of beautiful pansies, a
| wreath of ripened grain offerings of
| friends, and a tribute from the church
consisting of pillow with border OF
roses and heliotropes surrounding the
motto: "Only gone before, composed
| of white letters on black velvet. The
| music was sweet and reStful. AT the
| close of the services the long process
sion again slowly moved on to the
cemetery where the remains were
tenderly laid to rest at the close OF
day.
The following is brief outline of
Mr.. Mendenhalls life: He was born
in Montgomery county, Ind, March
5th, 1928. He was married in lS47 to
the companion who now mourns his
| loss. In 1854 they moved to Mime
sofa and settled in LIE Sueur county.
This was at an early date when Min
| nesota was only territory. In 1862
| he took an honored part in the Indian
war which devastated Minnesota at
that time, serving in the Second Com
pany of Minnesota Indian Volunteers.
In 1865 he moved to Rapidan, Blue
| Earth county. Here. he. helped
| build up and was one OF the
| proprietors of large flour mill.
| In November. 1892, he came to
| California and settled in East Whit
tier, where he built a pleasant home
and was rapidly improving his place
when he was called to cease his labors
| and enter into "rest." Mr.. Menden-
hall was since known among us as an
active, useful and honored citizen,
and all who knew him share the sOr-
row which his deceaSe has brought to
his bereaved family and relatives.

Among the trees of Sibley Park
six or eight beautiful grey squirrels
have their home. Engineer Haynes
is very solicitous for their welfare
and hopes no evil will befall them.
They have been fed and cared for
through the past winter by Mr.. Blake,
and are quite tame. The public is
earnestly requested to aid the author
titles in protecting them, and especi-
ally to prevent the small boy from
throwing stones at them. If they
can be spared, it will be but few
years until that beautiful park will be
full of them, making the place much
more attractive.

INFANTS DYING.
Early Appearance Of Cholera
Infantunl.
Serious Times Ahead for the
Badly NouriShed Ones.
When Children Run Most Risk
of DiarrhOea.
The Diet Invariably Used in
Most Careful Homes.
Children Take Lactated Food
Eagerly and Retain 1t.

Only by the most judicious feeding
can children be saved from intestinal
disorders that now lie in wait for
every enfeebled infant.
Children should not stop growing
and steadily Increasing in weight dur
ing the summer months. Any decline
in strength, activity and high spirits
at such times should be even more
quickly observed and remedied than
at other seasons. Any sign of let-up
in the healthy nOurishment of the
child should be met with lactated
food.
The carefully studied composition
of this perfect infant diet, so ac-
curately adapted to the needs of grow
| ing children, makes 1t easy to induce
them to take abundant food of highly
nourishing quality and of absolutely
| assured purity. Babies fed on a diet
of lactated food lose that pinched look
almost Immediately; the profuse per-
spring that usually accompanies
weakness ceases; their sleep becomes
restful, and their pale cheeks and
white lips get full and ruddy.
All this change will be due to the
simple effect of that richer, completer
and more satisfying diet of lactated
food.
At the beginning of the summer the
physicians give warning that the ut
most care must be taken to use pure
food for children. That this emphatic
warning does not reach every city and
town in this state is evident from the
high infantile death rate. But in
those places where the newspapers
have published the discussions that
are now going on regarding proper in
FAINT feeding in summer, large quanti-
ties of lactated food are used. The
result is, statistics show, that the
fewer deaths occur in those towns and
cities where the larger amount OF
lactated food is used
Comparisons of this sort are alb
solutely convincing.
June is fatal month for the little
ones, and without the utmost care
the local physicians say that the dread
full mortality and increasing amount
of sickness among children will con
tinue.
The one safe plan is to feed infant:
Ol ldSUoUCu lOOu.
Physicians say that every case OF
cholera infantum the child is i'm
properly fed and nourished, and hence
the disease.
SIT lis absolutely CERTAIN" says q
physician, in one of the medical jour
mails, speaking of the alarming sum
mer mortality, "that the cause of this
high death rate among infants is in
| digestion.
Thousands of physicians prescribe
lactated food for their little patients
at the beginning of the summer, with
the full assurance that the dread dis
ease is not likely to appear in that
family.
1t must be borne in mind that lac
tated food is so inexpensive that it il
within the reach of every one. One
hundred and fifty meals can be made
from dollar package of the food, ant
prepared for use it costs less than five
cents quart.
Mothers must remember that clolers
infantum can be more easily prevented
than cured. Feed the baby with pure
lactated food, and keep the child wei
and strong.

THE 1894 MINERAL PRODUCTION

The annual report of the govern.
ment on the mineral production OF
the United States for 1894 has been
completed, and shows a decline as to
average production. The year 1898
also shows a decline, so that for two
years there has been shortage in the
output of the mineral production OF
the United States. The people have
been living very close for the past two
years and industries have been com
paratively quiet. The year 1895, how
ever, promises better, and will proba-
bly, show an increased production.
The mineral products of the country
are divided into two classes. The
metallic and the non-metallic. Their
total value was 1923, 955, l31, the non
metallic being valued at 1905, 1856, 343,
and the metallic atss21S, 1878.
Coal and petroleum for light and
heat cost the country over 1925, 000,-
900, and the Chicago Inter Ocean in
commenting upon this says tnat III
this country had been dependent for
heat upon wood and for light upon
animal fat, fish oil, and spirits, it
would have remained almost solely
agricultural, except as water power
furnished facilities for manufact-
ures."
In the metallic list iron heads the
list, the product being valued at a
trife over 1865, 100000. Silver comes
next at 1874, 100000, followed by gold
at 500, 500, 900, and copper at fraction
over 1874, 100000.
In the matter of ores this country
is practically Independent of the
world.

If the city puts in an electric light
plant of it's own, where will the lights
be located? Win the great majority
OF them go on to Front, Second and
Broad streets, or will the rest of the
city receive due attention? What
proportion will go to West Mankato
and on the hill? A little information
on this subject would be appreciated
by the voters. If so much money is
to be saved, they would like to know
who are to receive the benefits from
the increased lights.
