ILLS OF THE FLESH.
Doctors Kept Busy the Past Two
Days.

VIM. Mccall, a 17-year-old boy
residing in Spring Island, was prac-
ticing on swinging rings hung from
trees Saturday evening, and threw
himself from one of the rings. He
struck stone with his left foot, and
broke both bones of the left leg half
way between the ankle and knee.
The fracturing of the bones could be
clearly heard for some little distance,
and the breaks were straight across.
DR.. Davis was summoned and set the
fractured bones, which will undoubt-
edly knit together nicely.
DR.. Davis, assisted by Drs. An
drews, Jacoby and Webster, this fore
noon, at the hospital, amputated Jacob
Sanger's left leg about four inches
above the ankle. Three months ago
it was noticed that Mr.. Sanger, who
lives near Rapidan and is seventy
years old, was suffering from senile
gangrene. 1t is supposed that this
started from wound received in bat
tie in the Mexican war. Whether
the development of the gangrene will
be stopped cannot yet be determined.
This forenoon DR.. Andrews, assisted
by DR.. Webster, performed an opera
tion upon married lady school teacher
from outside of the city at the hospi-
tai.

MANkATO CEnENT.
Trade Increasing and the Product
More Popular.

The cement works were visited
yesterday by a FREE PRESS reporter,
and the plant was found in full opera
tion and large number of men at
work.
Manager Carney has just received a
printed specification from the Iowa
Engineering & Construction Co., of
Clinton, Iowa, for a sewer system at
Grinnell, and they specify that Utica
or Mankato cement, or other equally
as good, shall be used.
The city engineering department Of
Minneapolis requires ninety pounds
tensile strength to the square inch in
twentyfour hours. Some of the oldest
brands of American natural hydraulic;
cements do not come up to that
average, and are rejected, while the
records of tests made for Mankato

capacity, and Mr.. Carney's only anX-
iety lis that he may not be able to

CONFERENCE ADJOURNS.
The German Lutheran Synod at
rlapleton AdjOurnS.

| IldpfctOH AuJOuIuos
The German Lutheran conference
at Mapleton closed it's weeks meeting
Wednesday afternoon and adjourned.
The business and discussions were
carried on in the German language
The following brief account of the ses-
sion is taken from the Mapleton En-
terpriSe:
Friday morning the principal sub
ject of discussion was the doctrine of
santitication, which was ably handled
from all sides. In the evening Rev.
Geo. Gerka, of Stewart, spoke on
christian Education" urging the
necessity of religious training.
Saturday morning the discussion of
Friday was continued to the enlight-
eminent of those present. The dis
cussion of Saturday afternoon was
among the most animated of the ses-
sion, it being the attitude of the
Ohio Synod of the Evangelical Luth-
eran church toward the lodge Ques-
tion. Some believed that the secret
societies were detrimental to the in
terests of the church and favored the
EXPULSION of those who united with
the lodges, others were not inclined
to take such strong grounds and
favored more leniency in the treat
ment those who united with the
various orders, urging that their per-
sonal standing with the church be
taken into consideration and their at
titude toward it's work.
Sunday was the greatest day of the
conference and many who desired to
attend were unable to gain admission
to the church on account of the great
number present.
Monday the matter of uniting the
Iowa Synod with the Ohio Synod
was considered.
The discussion of the'question of
uniting with the Iowa Synod was re-
sumed on Tuesday morning when it
was found to be the sentiment of this
district that it would be for their
mutual benefit to unite. In the bust
ness session on Tuesday afternoon it
was urged upon the ministers to have
their congregations send more of their
young men to the church seminary,
not necessarily for theological edu-
cation but for instruction in the COM
mon branches. The question of adj
mitting young ladies to the lecture
hall of the denominational seminary
at Woodville, Ohio, was discussed but
no recommendation were made.
Resolutions were adopted thanking
the congregation and our citizens
generally for their generous treat
ment and kind hospitality.
Shakopee having presented an in
vitation for the next annual meeting
of the Synod it was unanimously
voted to meet at that place next
June.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year dIo.
President = Prof. H. Ernst, St.
Paul.
Vice-president-Prof. W. Schmidt,
ST. Paul.
Secretary-Rev. Geo. Finka, Le-
Mars, Iowa.
Asst. secretary-Rev. D. Kogge,
Duluth.
Treasurer-G. Bammann, ST, Paul.
The closing services were in charge
Of Prof. Schmidt, of St. Paul, and
were especially interesting.
The Synod was entertained at diff
ferent times at receptions at the
homes of Rev. Killian, Chas Rraehl,
Geo. Biese, VIM. Minkels and J. E.
Brown.

THE ENUMERATION.

Enumeration Smith, of the Fifth
ward, has found about 1850 names
thus far, and expects to bring the
figure up to 2,100.
Some thirty names can be added to
the figures previously given for the
Fourth ward.
Several of the enumerators will send
in their reports Monday or Tuesday.
1t now looks as though Mankato
would have anywhere from fifty to $50
over 10000 population.

The contract for grading Clark
street and the stone culvert in the
ravine was awarded to Hurd, Bowen &
Gill, who presented satisfactory
bond with John and James Dougherty
as sureties. There is about 5000 yards
of excavation and eighty yards of ma
sonry, so the cost will be about 5000,
which is about $3.50 less than the en-
gineer's estimate.
The contract for grading the alley
was awarded to VIM. Jones, the eX-
policeman. The engineers estimate
on the alley was $780,
The bid on the Cherry street sewer
was laid over until Tuesday, but it
will probably be rejected as the en-
gineer's estimate is less than $500, by

only 215 feet long and have one man.

T. r. Coughlan presented bid for
furnishing 5000 cubic yards of crushed

withdraw it as w. B. Craig had not

to. The opening of these bids was de-
ferred until Tuesday next at 200 p.

The award of the contracts will have
to be confirmed by the council, and
will be reported to it at the next

Miss Collins Seems Better Able TO
Take Care of Mrs. VOIger's Child.
Judge Hampton L. Ferrin heard yes
terday afternoon the application of Mrs.
Annie Volger to have restored to her her
child, James NJ. Collins, years old, who
was in the custody Of Miss Mollie Collins.
his stepsister.
Mrs. Volger claimed she had left the
child with Mrs. Bridget Cassly. but that it
was to be returned TO her on demand. She
said when she recently returned to the
city and demanded the child that Mrs.
Cassly first demanded three years board.
Mrs. CassTy, she said. also told her that
the child had been placed in the care of
Miss Collins, so the proceedings were in
stituted against them both. In the course
of the testimony it was shown that Mrs.
Volger came down from New York by
steerage passage in order to take steps
to secure her child
On the other hand. it was claimed that
the child had been delivered to Mrs Cass-
ly and Miss Collins in November 1898, and
that it had been released from parental
custody. The boy it was stated, was left
and not with Mrs Cassly, though they
both resided together. A trunk was sent
with the child, it was stated, containing
nothing but rags.
Miss Collins stated she had cared for and
made the boy comfortable, had taken steps
to have him educated, had spent money
on him, and had loved and cherished him
while Mrs. Volger had not spent cent OF
him, and had paid little attention to him
since he had been away from her.
1t was also held that the mother, Mrs
Volger, was not fit and proper person
to have charge of the boy, and some little
evidence in support Of this contention was
introduced.
Mrs. Volger was represented by Mr.. t
S. Morgan, Jr., and Miss Collins by Mr.. p
J. O'Connor. The evidence seemed tC
show that Miss Collins was better pre-
pared to take care of the child and edu.
cate it than the mother, and Judge Ferril
decided that it should remain in the care
and custody of Miss Collins. Mr.. Morgan
will probably appeal the case, as Mrs
Volger seems very anxious to secure lei
boy.

At the first concert given by this society
