TRUNK STOLEN.
Three Tramps Locked Up On
Suspicion.

Some time Thursday a trunk was
stolen from a box car near the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis depot. The seal OF
the car was broken, and the trunk
taken to the woods back of the depot,
where holes were knocked in it, and
it is supposed that portion OF the
contents were taken. When found
this morning the trunk contained
some articles of wearing, apparel and
a Norwegian prayer book. The trunk
was checked to Tom johnson, Man
kato, from New York.
Inthe afternoon three tramps were
arrested on suspicion, and were locked
up at the city hall. They were found
near where the trunk was, but deny
any knowledge of the matter. One OF
them is one of those who were ar
rested on suspicion of having robbed
G. S. Peterson a month ago, and was
found in almost the same place that
he was at that time. The trunk mys'
terry will be looked into further by

Improvements at One of Our Facto-
rieS.
In the course of visit to the Man.
kato Cracker and Candy Co.'S factory
this morning we noticed many neces-
sary Improvements. The new pro-
prietors are having the front repainted
and are dividing the Office with hand
some partitions. Many other notable
improvements are being made.
We sampled some of the new crack
ers, ginger snaps, cookies, etc., and
they were all of the best. Our citi-
zens should take prideIin seeing that
none but Mankato goods are used.
Manager Wiley states that the crack
ers that were on hand at the time of
the sale have all been disposed of,
and that he will give his customers
some of the finest goods they have had
on their shelves, and will stand by the
local retailers. The latter should
stand by the local candy and cracker
factory.

WILSON'S PHOTOS.
He Had Notations Concerning His
LADY, Correspondents.

Lady correspondents.
Among the articles found in W. G.
Wilson's pocket book, in the drawer
which he kept habitually locked, were
six or eight photographs of young
women, whose age might be judged
to range from 35 years downwards
The most of the women represented
seem to lay claim to no particular
charm of beauty, although one OF
two are attractive appearing. But
the interesting thing is that on
the photographs are numbers and no
tations as to the personal appearance
of the original, with the amount OF
money which she possesses These
sums range from $4,000 downward.
The indications are that Wilson
had been in communication with a
matrimonial bureau in Chicago.
Letters from some of the young
ladies who are the originals of the
photographs were also found, and from
them one might judge that the writ
ers were corresponding with the idea
or bject of marrying Wilson, so Mr..
j. E. Hall states. Mr.. Hall also states
that one of the photographs and let
tiers are those of young lady school
teacher of Blue Earth City.
The statement that Mr.. Wilson was
keeping company with highly con-
nected young lady of Mankato has
caused much speculation, but as far
as our information goes, there is little
more foundation for the report than
mere rumor. In fact, those in the
best position to know, disbelieye it.

about fifty farmers, with half as
