NO TRICK TO CATCH CREASED Pigs
Great Fun at a Country Picnic Near
Elk Grove.
How Young and Old Enjoyed Them
selves at a District School Froltc
on Saturday.

The school picnic given by the Misses
Edith and Mabel Leimbach at Graham's
Grove, near the town of Elk Grove, on
Saturday was a decided success, despite
the disagreeable north wind.
Many adjoining schools were repre-
sented. Children from far and near came
early, stayed late and brought the OLD
folks with them in such numbers that i,
would be hard to tell which were in the
majority.
Dancing furnished amusement for all
during the morning and the early after
noon, the latter part of the day being
devoted to games and contests. The
pleasure OF the day was largely due to
the efforts of Msssrs. E. w. Lewis and
John Pickett. The games, which proved
to be the most interesting feature. were
largely participated in. The numbers
prizes and winners were:
Boys race, under 10 years-Straw hat;
won by Ed. Davies.
Girls race, under 10-One dollar; won
by Josie Sibeck.
Boys race, under 12-Indian clubs;
won by Earle Sked.
Girls potato race-Plush footstool; won
by Nellie Whitman.
Boys: race, under 16-Baseball; won by
Ladies' race-Pair Of shoes; won by
Emma Franz
Sack race-Dress shirt; won by =
Nichols.
Ladies' egg racs-Pair of Oxford ties;
won by May Brown.
Obstruction race-Pair of bicycle shoes;
won by Charles Mckee.
Girls race, under 16-Book; won by
Nellie Whitman.
Eating doughnut suspended by a
string-Pair of cuff buttons, won by An
derson Mckee.
Fres-for-all ladies' ra cS-Manicure set,
won by Emma Franz.
1hTee-legged race-Silver cup, won by
Messrs. Gilman and Leimb bach.
Creased pig-The pig, won by Charlie
Gilman. The pig was of the razor
back'' kind, and the chase afforded SO
much fun that he was liberated a second
time. only to be snapped up before he had
made more than fifty yards.
Most amusing of all, from the specta-
tors point of view, was the sight of num-
erous small boys trying to shin up a
CREASED pole after dollar that was placed
on top. THUS far and no farther shalt
thou go.' was literally the order of the
day, and one after another smiled and
gracefully descended as soon as the
friendly hands which boosted him up
were withdrawn.
One cunning youth converted his hip
pocket into sandbox, and sought to
overcome the combined force of gravity
and lard by plastering his hands and the
pole with dirt. but, II anything, he came
down faster than the others. The dollar
| remained there.
Nobody thought of going home until
the sun was low in the west, and when
they did go. it was tho settled conviction
of every small boy there that he had "a
way-up'' time, and that the Misses Leim-
bach deserved vote Of thanks from the
entire community.

New YORK has just had another trial
OF the voting machine and it is again
pronounced a success. At one trial made
some two months ago 1t failed to give sat-
isfaction, but it is charged that the failure
was due far more to the officers of the
election than to the machine. In the test
made at Mount Vernon recently there
was no difficulty whatever with the ma
chine. The New York press is unani-
nous in saying that it worked to the en-
tire satisfaction of the officials and the
voters. There were six tickets in the
field, and thirty-five candidates on each
to be considered. Ten minutes after the
last vote was cast the result was known
in each voting precinct and not single
mistake was made.

| by the bondholders become due, when
they could deliver the refunding bonds,
or sell them and pay the bondholders the
cash.
This would cause the commission to
cancel the $7lS,30O in bonds held by it.
provide for refunding the past due bonds
and let the commission hold 500, 200 in
refunding bonds to await the time when
the bonds not yet due shall mature. By
the commission holding enough bonds to
meet what bonds are to become due, and
by paying interest on bonds not yet due,
the whole debt can be refunded, and we
can tighten our heavy load of taxes. The
refunding to be successful must be COM
plete, otherwise instead of removing our
present burden we will be simply adding
another one.
| Concerning tho argument that we
might be able to beat down the 1888 and
/ 1898 bonds by refusing to refund. l wish
to say that we have already had the bene-

three years. interest ON the other, and we
owe the money and ought to pay it. Be-

consider it good business policy for city
| with the splendid possibilities of Sacra-

to try to pay little less than we really
owe, when in so doing we have to tax
ourselves to death.
Much criticism has of late been heaped
upon the Funded Debt Commission.

mission, who have been our leading citi-
zens to say that they have each and all
worked unselfishly for the interests OF

their efforts we would never have been
able to get out of debt Through their
aid the greater portion of our debt has

| to us In refunding.
would suggest that you make the
amount of refundlng bonds large enough
| to allow the Funded Debt Commission to
refund of its 1898 and 1903 bonds suffi-
cient number to meet the bonds of those
years when they fall due. Of course,

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARB FORMED.

The Mew York Tribune says: 1.-THE habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off Women usually begin taking them to re-
Iieve raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium hend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, Arrays in fa0oy. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and remove

Is 1T not strange thing that the Debs-
rage and oppression in the decision of
the United States Supreme Court in the
case of Debs' contempt? Here is q court
than which there is none higher, or more
impressed with the importance of posi-
ton and wsighty duty. Its Office is to
interpret the Constitution and the laws.
When it does this the decision becomes
the rule of action for the good citizen.
But suppose it had taken the desire, wish
and dictation of the American Railway
Union as its guide, and have abandoned
the Constitution and the law, what q
magnificent tribunal it would have been,
30 be sure, in the estimation of the Debs-
ties. IF it had allowed Its judgment to
be controlled by sentiment. and its opin-
ion be framed by the leaders of the Debs
faction, what an upright and noble body
of jurists this same Supreme Court
would have been according to the
American Railway Union code. The
sober sense of the country can be trusted
to measure values rightly in this whole
matter. The more the radicals in the la
Dor organizations abuse the court, the
more apparent 1t will become that not
the Constitution and the laws. but the
unbridled dictum of the A. r. U. Is the
law that these GROWERS wish to have set
I'D as the rule of action for the American
people.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The local suggestion by Sacramento
woman which appeared in our columns yester-
day relative to block Improvement clubs for
street frontage cleaning, is so thoroughly good
that it should be adopted mem con. 1t has the
virtues of being costless plan and stimu.
lative of public spirit.
The American papers are commenting on
the wearing of prison stripes by Oscar Wilde.
Not so. Oscar wears a plain butternut suit,
thickly stamped with large white arrows, the
English convict mark.
There is altogether too much readiness In
case of a tragedy with a woman in ii to rush
TO the conclusion that because mans picture
is found in the woman's effects therefore the
man was guilty of wrong toward her. AS a
matter of fact, in this day of much photo
graphy it is not at all significant that por-
trait of anyone is in the possession of anyone
else. Unless there are discriminating circum-
stances OF different order, We should not
hold the possession of ones portrait to be a
suspicious fact. But since the police are SO
ready to jump to contrary conclusion, ii
might be We'll for men to refuse to allow their
Photographic portraits to so out Of the pos
session of their families.
The last day of this week the local compa-
nles of the National Guard move to go into
camp for weeks instruction in the duties OF
the citizen soldier. Employers ought to make
sacrifices to allow their employees who are
members OF the Guard to attend the camp for
the full week. Employers who refuse this
outing TO their men do not conserve a most
important function of free government, but
cripple it.
Good for Elizabeth Bisland. She is sensible
and courageous, when in the North american
ReUteW she says:
Woman simply may not eat her cake and
have it too. Using all her energies for heI
own needs she cannot give vigor TO her chill
dren. II she employ for her own ends hel
store OF life she robs the child. To adequately
supply the new generation with health, brains
ana nerve force she must husband her re-
sources and yield herself to the generosity
and tenderness Of the man and trust 10 his
care. That he has not always been generous
and tender, that he is not always so even now,
does not alter the general fact.

THE supreme court has knocked
out the income tax, and the scheme
which the Democrats borrowed from
the Populists in the vain hope OF
securing a few votes has gone to the
winds. The court, in short, holds
that the income tax, as levied under
the law, was a species of direct tax,
and hence in conflict with the pro-
visions of the constitution, which pro-
vides that all direct taxes shall be
apportioned among the several states
according to their population, and
that congress has no power to levy
direct tax in any other manner. The
result of the decision will be to still
further increase the deficit in the
federal treasury, for it knocks the
law out entirely, and leaves things as
though it had never been, and the
$4,000, 900 which the treasury officials
have been figuring on lately will not
be forthcoming. Tits probable, how
ever, that the administration will
tide things over until congress meets
in December next, and an extra ses-
sion will not be called to provide for
extra revenue.

The Rock County Ne,rs is on to the

vance which is being made in wages
through the east is simply blind tC
the laborer and for the purpose OF
heading off free silver legislation next
winter. There is no question but that
most workmen are pleased to be blind
ed that way, and will not call it the
cowardly act the Neaos refers to. But
in it's reference to this the Ne,Ds gives
away the case of the silver monome-
tallists, for it as good as says that
their scheme will not work if times
are reasonably good. The agitators
of the scheme find it easy to work up
sympathy for their cause when wages
are falling from any cause, and work
is scarce, but when the tide changes,
their cause languishes accordingly,
hence the growing.

IT is said that some of the Populist
senators have gone to both the Demo
cratic and Republican leaders of that
body and made overtures looking to
coalition for the organization of the
senate when congress meets next No
vember, and that as yet they have
received no comfort from either party.
If the Democrats wish to enter into
any deal whereby they can control the
organization, let them do it, but the
Republicans should stand aloof from
any such movement. There is moth
ing to be gained from it. 1t will
afford no guarantee of the passage of
any important legislation which the
country may need and the Repub-
licans may champion, while it is
likely to place the party in many en-
barrassing positions. 1t is possible
that those senators who are troubled
with the silver craze may think it
would be to their advantage to make
such a combination, but outside OF
this there is absolutely nothing to
spur on such movement, and it
should not be countenanced.

the highest price touched being
eighty-two cents, but break OF three
cents was made and it closed at
seventy-nine cents. In the local
market today it is quoted at seventy
two cents. 1t is estimated that 2OO,-
100000 bushels of wheat changed
hands in Chicago Thursday. The
cause given for the great jump in
prices is the condition of the foreign
markets. Liverpool is said to have
been greatly excited and prices adj
vanced heavily, and other European
markets exhibited equal strength.
Crop damage reports continue to come
in from all portions of the wheat belt,
and unless there should be change
in this respect, the price is likely to
90 much higher. In fact it is freely
predicted that prices will touch 81 be-
fore there is a break, should a break
come, which is very likely before set
tied prices are again obtained. 1t is
still too early to tell WflaU bnere Is III
the reports as to the damage the grow
ing crop has received. In some in
stances these reports seem to be as
wild as the market, but from all that
can be cleaned there seems to be more
or less foundation for the reports
which have been made, and should
the growing crop through the wheat
belt be to any extent affected, there is
probably no question but that the
present increase in price will be per-
manent, and it may command con-
increase.
At any rate, just now wheat is
very good commodity to have.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-05-31

A BUsHEL of wheat will today buy
a large fraction over an ounce OF
silver. In 1873 an ounce of silver
would buy about bushel and quar-
ter of wheat. Still we are told that
the price of wheat is governed by that
of silver. The fact is, they are both
subject to the law of supply and de-
mand. Just now wheat is in the
greatest demand.
