HOUSE ENTERED.
w. p. ncCounelI's Residence
Broken Into by Unknown Parties.

S1 ONCh lhSo NY
W. w. P. McConnell's residence was
the scene Tuesday night of what is
supposed to be a daring attempt at
robbery, although the real object Of
the visit has not been fully ascer-
tanned. 1t is believed that there
were two or more in the party, and
the indications point strongly to the
belief that n Skinned up" a post
of the front piazza and gained
entrance to the house through a front
window of one of the bOarders'
rooms, thence passing through the
house and letting in his confederate
or confederates at the front door. By
an examination of the soil at the foot
of the post, and by the noise as of
something dropping heard by a
passerby, it is supposed that the first
attempt to scale the piazza was un-
successful, and that the lighter of the
parties then undertook the job.
The members of the family were
not awakened, and the burglars had
clear sailing, but a careful inyestiga-
tion has failed to disclose how much,
if any, plumber they got away with.
The only clue to the identity of the
callers is several distinct footprints,
made evidently by a rather small
shoe, with a pointed toe. From the
manner in which the house was gone
through, it is evident that the parties
were familiar with the premises.
Their visit must have occurred at q
late hour, as all of the occupants OF
the house were asleep. 1t was well
planned to escape detection. yet Mr.,
Mcconnell believes that the parties are
home talent, as has generally been
the case with such occurrences in the
past. So far as heard from, no other
houses were entered. Mr.. Mcconnell
is quietly at work on the case, and it
is not improbable that he may be able
to run the parties down.

A r
Mrs. John Oglesby Objects to the
Removal of Her Children.

The hearing on the citation to issue
Dapers to take the four children of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Oglesby, David,
Lydia, Eddie and Thomas, to the
state school at OWatOnna came up at
two O'Clock this afternoon before
Judge Mead. Mr.. Oglesby desires that
the children be sent to the school,
Mhile his wife is opposed to 1T. ). A.
Flittie was present on behalf OF the
county and Byron Hughes and Mr..
Rice for Mrs. Oglesby. County Com
missioner Roberts and Humane Of
ficer Sheldon were also present, and a
number of witnesses on both sides.
Only one Of the children was present,
the Oldest boy, as the others could not
be found, and were thought to have
been spirited away to prevent their
being sent to the state school.
There was a disposition on the part
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oglesby to get to-
gether, and to give an opportunity for
them to settle their little differences
and allow the case to be dismissed.
The hearing vas postponed until
April Goth at 10 o'clock.
The whole trouble grew out of an
affair that happened at the Oglesby
home a couple of weeks ago, on a Sat-
urday night. Oglesby, who is a city
employee, had a misunderstanding
with his wife and chastised her rather
severely. S. G. Clayton hearing a dis
turbance, went to the house to see
what was the matter and ran his eye
up against Oglesby's fist, the latter
taking him for another man. No war
rants were issued, but the affair was
magnited and a good deal Of prejudice
aroused against Oglesby among those
who did not take the trouble
to investigate the case for
themselves. Oglesby claims to
be justified in what he did, and
Mrs. Oglesby's relatives do not seem
to side with her in the matter. Steps
were taken by the Humane society to
have the children sent to the state
school, believing that the home infiu-
ences were bad. MI. Oglesby says
that he desires to live with his wife
and continue to support the children
if she will cut loose from the influ-
ences which have been about her, and
which he SAWS are ANYTHING Int
good. He is a good workman, and
the officials are all inclined to believe
that he has been abused without suffi-
cient cause, although not justifying
his assault upon his wife. 1t GER
tainly seems to be a cas- with two
sides to it, and the friends of the
family will hope that the matter may
be amicably settled.

THE farmers are liable to have a
little experience with the income tax
and get on to some of it's beauties.
Capt. Hamies, collector Of internal
revenue for Minnesota, has received
instructions from Washington that
the incomes of creamerieS are subject
to the tax. 1t has been held that
such was not the case, but the au-
thorities have held differently. The
farmers will recognize the beauty of
the law when they recall the fact that
if 200 or 300 farmers rent land from a
man and engage in cooperative dairy
ing, they would be obliged to pay a
tax on their income while the owner
of the land would escape all tax on his
income, from the rent of the land I'M
der the decision of the supreme court.
OF course there is no class distinction
about this, because Democracy has
always been opposed to such legisla-
tiOn.

FI'CONNELL s. CUNrllNS The
NAME OF A NEW FRI.
w. w. p. Mcconnell Disposes OF
an Interest in His Mercantile
House to Horace Cummins.-=lt
Means a Big Department Store.

Vaccinations were closed shortly
after two o'clock this afternoon
whereby Mr.. Horace Cummins, OF
Eagle Lake, becomes a partner with
Mr.. w. w. p. Mcconnell, of this city,
and the firm name will hereafter be
Mcconnell & Cummins. The mean
ing of this deal is that the mercantile
house now has a large increase OF cap
ital. and that the department store
which they will open this year VIII!
he q of the most extensive and
strongest establishments of the kind
in Southern Minnesota. MI. McCon-
nell will continue to have active man
agement of the business. he is one
of II Oldest and best business men,
enterprising and fully abreast of the
times in all respects.
Mr.. CumminS has been a resident OF
Blue Earth county since 1857, and was
therefore one of the pioneers. lie
settled in LeRay township, and in
1873 moved TO Eagle Lake, where he
was engaged in handling wheat for a
long time. For many years past ne
has conducted a large general store,
which he still has, together with
large milling and other interests at
Eagle Lake. Through energy and
prudence he has been enabled to ac-
acumuIate a substantial property. He
was a member of the legislature for
two terms, in 1889. His acquisition
will be a valuable addition to Manka-
to business circles.
We hope the firm of Mcconnell &
Cummins may continue long ana
thrive, and we shall be glad soon to
welcome it as a neighbor on jackson
street.

cigars, were served. The guests owed
their supper to Mr.. Pau and to Vice

The affair was a very pleasant one,

previous to that they were often

making a better feeling among the
