handful of corn and filth from the

people who were enjoying the sights.
They couldn't understand that the

Following the band were forty men en-

There was a fight ON Seventh street
during the evening, and the first man TO
get to the scene of action was Tim Don

own town. Suddenly recovering him

their drunken brawl all to themselves.
The streets were one mass of humanity

fact that nearly every body had a tin horn

Atchison Corn Carnival was an exciting

Atchison man, that although public SEN
timent sanctions the saloons, to solemniy
tell every stranger that "the saloons are
all closed" To the STATE JOURNAL re-
porter Major Bale Nsggoner said:
SWELL sir, you can tell the people of To-
peka that everything is open here in
a Gibson except The joints"
1t was true that there were apparently
no 'joints" in operation. Indeed there
was no necessity for them, for all the
saloons were running wide open. Ghio's
places were crowded continuously. The
| hotel Byram's bar was running openly.
All the doors were open.

lied with the following pieces:l
WATER BOND ELECTION.
One May be Called for this
Fall.

There is talk of the council calling
a special election to vote on prOpo-
sition to issue bonds for the extension
of water mains. If the election is
called under the proper law, simple
majority vote is all that is required to
carry it. The bonds had majority
last July, but as the election was con-
Quoted under law requiring a two
thirds vote, the bonds were defeated,
The only question now is whether to
have the election this fall or next
spring.
City Engineer Haynes states that
he wants several months time, in Or
der to have everything ready for the
work. If the price of iron continues
to advance, it would be economy to
buy the pipe this fall. The matter
may come before the council Satur-
day night, and we would not be sur
prised if an election was called for
this fall. There is not thought to be
any doubt about the carrying OF the
bonds, as they would receive larger
vote than they did in July, when the
electric light proposition tended to
lessen the vote on water bonds.

IMPORTANT SALES.
Real Estate Changing Hande Rap
idly.

With the general revival of business
there is also an increased activity in
the real estate market in this city,
and the agents report considerable in
quiry after desirable lots.
III. P. Christensen has made several
sales for himself and others during
the past few days. The most import
ant is the sale of his two lots On South
Front street just north of the Saliva
tion Army barracks to L. Patterson,
for $4,000. He takes in part exchange
the north thirteen and 17-1O0 acres OF
the southwest fourth of section
twenty, 1926, valued at 81 300.
Mr.. Christensen has also sold his
house and lot on South Fourth street
between Cherry and Warren, de-
scribed as lot four, block seventeen

NOT A COLLECTION AGENCY.
The Costs in the Pickett Case Must
be Paid.

The examination of R. g. Pickett
On the charge of embe1zling funds
belonging to Rosenberger & Mobiles
was set for Friday. County Attorney
Benedict stated to the court that he
had been informed by Rosenberger &
Mobiles that they had f0und.a mistake
and that there would be no further
prosecution of Mr.. Pickett
The court stated that the sheriff's
costs were 1896, besides the court
costs, and that he did not care to dis
miss the case until the costs are paid.
He did not believe in the court be-
ing made collection agency for
hotels, livery barns, wholesale dealers
and everybody else. 1t was not right.
Somebody would get into trouble
sometime for compromising crimes.
Cases ought to be gone into carefully
before they are commenced.
1t was agreed to continue the case
until, Saturday. morning to see what
arrangement could be made about
paying the costs.

MEETS WITH FAVOR.
The Idea of an Electric Line to St
Peter Commented on.

The idea advanced in these columns
last evening as to the advantages of
an electric street railway system with
extension to st. Peter, has caused
much favorable comment on the part
of the business men, and we have
heard the idea frequently commended
today.
In talking on the subject, Jno. G.
Noe made statement this morning
that contains something new to most
of our citizens Said he: 1.-TWO years
ago last spring we had deal on foot
for an electric line in Mankato and
an extension to ST. Peter, as was sug-
gested by the FREE PRESS yesterday.
The local electric light plant was to
have been consolidated with the rail-
way company, and had not the cleo
trio light resolution been sprung in
the Republican city convention the
deal would have gone through. Had
the convention been two weeks later
or the question not have been made
an issue before the people, we would
have had the electric cars, but that
action discouraged the eastern CAPT
talists who were willing to put their
money into it.
"We must keep on working and
there is hope Of securing the electric
line yet, but it will take great deal
of hard work. The St. Peter branch
was looked upon with much favor at
that time"
The branch to St. Peter strikes all
classes of people with favor, and par
ticularly the merchants. In the east
it is common thing for the smaller
towns to be connected by electric
lines, which are rapidly extending
through the country. The same is
true on the Pacific coast. 1t can only
be matter of time when Mankato
and St. Peter will be connected by an
electric line, and that time can be
fastened by agitation of the project.
1t should not be allowed to drop.

OFT BOUND OVER.
He is Charged With Serious Of
fence.

A man named John OFT was ar
rested on the G. FL. Piper farm Thurs
day on the charge of indecent con-
duct toward his twelve year old step
daughter, and was taken to Lake Cry
stall for hearing. He waived an ex-
animation and was bound over to the
grand jury and was brought to this
city by Marshal Loop and placed in
the county jail, being unable to fur
nish bonds.
Sheriff Bowen states that he was in
jail here three years ago for doing the
same thing as charged with the same
child, having been sent down from
Cottonwood county. He was convict
ed and served out sentence of two
years at Saltwater.
OFT denies the charge and claims
that he can prove an alibi. On Otis
first conviction his wife declared she
would not live with him again, but it
appears that she changed he1
mind. The alleged assault is claimed
to have taken place at Lake Crystal
last Sunday.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
1t Will be Ready to Occupy This
Winter.

Supt. Carroll states that the govern
ment building can be occupied this
winter, so far as his brothers contract
is concerned. He expects to have the
roof on in a few days, and the build
ing entirely enclosed within two
weeks. He expects that the present
contract will be finished shortly after
Dec. 1st, and then only the heating
plant and the furnishings will be
lacking. Work is now going rapidly
ahead, with large force of workmen
employed. The stone and brick work
is nearly completed, except the tower,
which will be fifty feet higher than
the rest Of the building. Work on
this will begin as soon as the chimney
is completed, which will be this week.
1t is understood that Congressman
McCleary has been stirring up the de-
partment little, to get it to adyer-
tiSe for bids on the heating plant so
that no delay will occur after the
building is finished. 1t is to be hoped
that he will succeed, as work on the
building from the start has only been
done at the intervals between series
of delays.

Kept Afioat by q Wooden Leg.

of an unidentified man was found in the
lake the other day. William Murray, an
illinois Central switchman, saw the body

man had wooden leg, which kept the
body afoat Chicago Record.
Superstition reigns tyrannically in
many rural districts in Italy. Lately a
fortune teller prophesied to a young
farmer and his sister, living near Noto,
Sicily, that on the evening before a GER
tain feast day both would die violent
death. This SO affected the minds of the
poor dupes that they became insane and
rushed shrieking through the streets. A
brother of these unfortunates then came,
somehow to the conclusion that the ca
lamity was due to the witchcraft of
their stepmother, and in a fit of blind
rage he killed the poor woman with a.
hoe. Philadelphia Ledger.

Terrible Affection Befalls an Iowa Com

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct 7.-Death stalked
among the guests at the wedding of H.
H. Gage near Sabula, jackson county,
three weeks ago, although the fact did
not become apparent until Saturday,
when two of the victims succumbed.
The muscles were removed from the arm
of George Bryant and sent to Chicago,
for analysis, as the local physicians are.
unable to determine the cause of the
wholesale poisoning.
More than 400 persons attended the,
wedding, and of these 1914 persons are
now confined to their beds, suffering
the most intense agony. Many of the,
victims are insane. Among the serious,
ly i'll is HI. G. Gage, the groom, and the
doctors despair of saving his life Many
others are at deaths door, and the COM
munity is panic-stricken. Guests at
the wedding who have not yet been at
tackled by the strange disease have been
made i'll by apprehensions, and the
anxiety and care of the suffering ones.

TWO ACCIDENTS.
A Miraculous Escape, and Broken
Collar Bone

Friday the nine year old son of
B. H. Conrad, who lives in Ogle &
Davis addition, had a very narrow
escape from death. He was riding on
load of potatoes and fell off under
the wagon. The team was stopped
just as the wheel was about to pass
over the boys head. The wheel
grazed the boys head so closely that
the right ear was badly lacerated,
hanging only by shred. The boy
was badly bruised and complains OF
pain in his back. DR.. Steel has the
case
Sunday last Eugene Fuller, of Two
Ii, rode to the city on borrowed bicy-
Gle, and wire caught and wound up
in the front wheel so rapidly that Mr..
Fuller was thrown heavily to the
ground, alighting on his shoulder and
breaking his collar bone. DR.. Steel
reduced the fracture and Mr.. Fuller is
doing well.

MUCH BOWEL TROUBLE.
Cause of a Now Prevalent Conn
plant.

Cause of a Now Prevalent Conn
plant.
DR.. Steel was asked today as to the
general health of the city and replied:
about the only sickness now is
bowel trouble, due to the frequent
changes in the temperature. The
warm weather opened the pores of the
skin and the sudden changes to cooler
weather have driven the blood from
the surface of the body to the inner
organs, causing congestion which is
most noticeable with the bowels.
Later on, when the changes are more
severe, there will be lung trouble,
such as pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.,
caused in the same way. Changes of
clothing to suit the weather is good
preventative of this congested condi-
tion. People are now eating almost
everything, without regard to the
good or bad ffrct, which added to the
weather changes account for the many
cases f bowel complaint which we
doctors are now looking after"

A POINT OF LAW.

The suit of VIM. Bowen VS.. James
Carroll and others to recover the
balance due on a promissory note OF
SIS was tried in the municipal court
Friday afternoon, and was argued
this afternoon. After the case was
started S3O62 was paid on the note.
One of the witnesses testified that his
wife signed his name to the note as
security without his knowledge or
consent, and this is one of the main
points of the law involved. W. r.
Geddes appeared for the plaintiff and
Lorin Cray for the defendants.
