MANNING'S MONEY.
He Had Aces, But Queens Took the
Pot.

A. c. Hartung had his preliminary
hearing Wednesday in the munich
pal court on charge preferred by j.
I. Manning, that on Aug. 10th he
wrongfully, by three-card monte and
other devices of sleight of hand, OBJ
tanned $40 from the complaining wit
ness. This is an indictable offense.
w. N. Plymat appeared for Manning,
and A. r. Pau for Mr.. Hartung.
Manning was the first witness, and
testified that his home was in Michi-
gan, that he lately went to Iowa, and
that month ago he went to Mime
sofa Lake and worked for Mrs. J. P.
Kramer in the harvest field. Thurs
day evening last he came to Mankato
with his earnings, S29.50 and on Friday
he spent So for clothing, something
to eat and a few drinks" getting among
other things a $3.50 hat and S1.25
pair of pants. When he first went
to Hartung's saloon he had S21,
but spent half of it treating.
He testified that he twas a
good fellow, and was around all day
and treated the boys well and didn't
expect to get the worst of it," He
went to Hartung's at about 600 p. M,
and shook dice with Mr.. Hartung.
He testified that ''they held me to
the bar and took my money and then
put me to bed and afterwards had me
taken to the Washington House. l
didn't know enough to want to win,
and couldn't win, 1T seemed. No
matter what turned up, the
money all went into Hartung's
pocket" He said that Jake
Limberger and Jack Haggerty were
with him during the day and towed
him about the city and 'befriended"
him, and drank on him. He said that
Limberger took good care of him.
After his money was gone at Hart
ungs he played cards with man he
didn't know and put up his coat, vest
and hat. and was told that
he had lost the game. They
gave these back TO him afterwards.
He was so intoxicated that he didn't
know what he was doing.

A CORRECTION.
President Shepard of the Winona
Normal, calls Attention to Some
Mistake Appearing in Normal
School Adv.


To THE EDITOR. =.
DEAR SIR:-My attention is called
to an error which appears in the ad-
vertisement of the State Normal
Schools, published in your paper.
I do not know who is responsible for
the error; but as it misrepresents the
school at WinOna, l have no doubt
that you will Willingly call attention
to the correction.
The advertisement states that the
cost of board at Winona is higher
than at St. Cloud, being $3.50 per
week at the WinOna Ladies Home.
In fact, it is the same as at St.
Cloud, viz. SO 90 per week, and may
even be made less, by taking meals at
the Home table at 1926 per week and
rooming with private family.
The advertisement states that
there is 'a Professional Course of
two years for graduates of high
schools"
1t should state that there are two
courses for high school graduates;
one course of one year leading to the
Elementary Course Diploma, and the
other, of two years leading to the Adj
vanced Course Diploma.
Thanking you in advance for max
ing the correction, as we'll as for other
courteSies which we have received
through your columns, l am,
Very truly,
IRWIN SHEPARD, Prest.

OMAHA TRACK REMOVAL.
No Information Obtainable Before
Next Week.

We have been asked a number of
times during the past few days as to
whether it is true that the Omaha
track removal has been definitely de-
cided upon, and whether reports and
statements to that effect are reliable.
We will state for the benefit of our
readers that nothing has been decided
upon as yet, and that the matter now
stands as it did month or two ago.
The engineers of both the Omaha and
Northwestern roads have been over
the ground carefully and have made
their surveys and estimates, and their
work for the present is done. General
Manager Winter, of the Omaha road,
is DESTROYS of having the improve
ment made at this time, and it is be-
lieved that President Hughitt, of the
Northwestern, looks upon the matter
favorably. The final decision will
rest with the executive committee of
the board of directors of the North
western system, which meets in Chi
cago next Monday. The maps of the
surveys and the estimates of cost will
be submitted at that meeting, and
the matter there and then decided
one way or the other. Nobody has OBJ
tanned any exclusive information on
the subject, for the very good reason
that not even Mr.. Winter knows what
will be done. The fine crops will af-
ford the railroads increased business
and earnings, and there will be a
greater amount than usual for repairs
and Improvements over the system
and it will be spent where most desir-
able.
There is much confidence felt at the
present moment that the change of
the tracks will be made, for the rea-
sons that have been pointed out in the
past. Yet there is many a Slip" and
the public should not feel too conf
dent. When the final decision is
reached, it will be made public in a
manner plain and unmistakable. The
improvement would be large under
taking, and might not be fully com
pleted in less than two years.

ington House, testified that he put
to bed in his hotel at the re-

ington House, testified that he put
Manning to bed in his hotel at the re-
quest of Hartung. about midnight.
Jack Haggarty testified to the
events of the day, and said that he
saw Manning shaking dice with Har-
tung, and that Manning turned up a
pair Of aces, and Hartung a pair Of
queens, but that Hartung took the
money and put it in his pocket. He
saw SIS of Manning's money 60. Hag-
gerty said that he was with Manning
to protect him. Hartung had ordered
him (Haggerty) out of the saloon
when he accused Hartung of stealing
Manning's money. When Attorney
Pau cross-questioned the witness as
to his being released from a jail SEN
tence for disorderly conduct the day
before, Haggerty refused to answer,
as he said he had not come to be in
suited.
The state rested here.
John Hickey, who has been tout of
business for long time" testified in
Hartung's behalf, and contradicted
the most material part of the states
evidence.
Mr.. Hartung was put on the stand
on his own behalf and made general
denial of the charge.

NEW THE TABLE.
The New Time Card on the Mil
waukee.

"dahSSs
AS announced by the FREE PRESS
yesterday, new time card on the Mil
waukee road between this city and
Wells will take effect Monday. One
new train is added each way, leaving
Mankato at 2:15 p. m. and arriving at
Wells at 4 80 p. M, and leaving Wells
at II 80 a. m. and reaching Mankato
at lis p. m. The 800 p. m. Chicago
passenger train will leave at $40 p.
M. The 11:55 a. m. train will arrive
at 11:20 a. m. The other trains will
run as heretofore. The running time
of all the trains is placed at about two
hours and quarter between Mankato
and Wells, which is slow enough to
make delays unnecessary.
1t is to be regretted that the after
noon train for Wells does not leave
later, to accommodate those on the
branch who would like to attend the
ball games in this city, and also to
carry the evening papers. AS far as
other business is concerned, however,
there can be no complaint, as people
along the line can arrive in Mankato
at 11:20 a. m. or lis p. m. and do their
trading and leave at 2:15 p. m. or $40
p. m. Those wishing to attend the
theatre can arrive at 500 p. m.

NOT INSANE.

Mrs. Emily Preston, of this city,
was examined before Judge Mead this
forenoon as to her sanity, upon infor-
nation filed by her daughter, Eliza
beth A. Preston, formerly Mrs. My
cue. Drs. Davis and Jacoby con-
Quoted the examination, and it de-
veloped that Mrs. Preston is as sane
as most people who are at large, and a
good deal more sane than many. Her
daughter alleged that her actions had
been peculiar for some time, but the
examination threw some light on the
case, and Mrs. Preston was dis
charged.

THE NEXT BEST THING.
The Way the Minneapolis Times
Puts 1t,

A number of well-known gentlemen
not intimately connected with the
newspaper business accidentally found
themselves in Mankato just at the
time Editor Hunt opened his new
font of type. The subsequent pro-
ceedings showed that each and every
one of them would like to be country
editor but acknowledging his in
capacity for that exalted station would
be satisfied to be governor of the
state.

Last spring in Stanford, Conn,
there were 100 cases of typhoid fever
in population of 5000, which is the
worst epidemic of the kind on record
in that state. There were some
houses in which there were seven or
eight cases. Out of the 100 cases, l47
of those who had the disease were
consumers of milk from one milk
dealer. Of the remaining thirteen
six took milk from the cans Of the
same dealer and drank the milk while
visiting at the house of the milk
dealer. Six others obtained the milk
in various ways. 1t was found that
the milk dealer washed his cans in a
well and on examination of the well
it was shown that the water in 1T was
teeming with bacteria. An inVestl-
CATION of the water by DR.. L. NJ.
Pridder, of New York, showed that
there was 1000 bacteria to cubic
centimetre of water in this well.Steps
are now being taken to prosecute the
milk dealer who was the cause OF this
epidemic.

The crime of being bachlor is to
be punished condignly in several
states, among them Illinois, where
there is a probability Of the passage
of a bill to tax these unmarried scor-
ners of social law. The enactment of
such a law, says the Minneapolis
Times, would be injury enough with
out adding to it the insult OF a rank
ling clause that with the tax fund an
''old maids home" shall be establish
ed. This is savage blOw-a blow be-
low the belt so to speak-at single
blessedness, and could hardly have
been inspired by the father of twins.
In view of the proposed diversion of
the law to the benefit of elderly un-
married females it would be only just
to inquire as to how many OF these
taxable bachelors have been Tilted,
and the doors of the "Old Maids
Home should be shut with a resound-
ing slam in the face of all those I'M
welded spinsters who have at any
time in their career blasted the
hopes of some fond admirer with a
chilling ''no." A supplementary tax
might indeed be levied upon such old
maids as should be discovered to have
promised once upon time ''to be a
sister, to any young man.

and the excavation for the pole is
completed. There is some talk of
patenting the method.

WICHITA On A SATURDAY NIGHT.
Some Noticeable characteristics of the Town
and an Idiosyncracg of Its InIabitnnts.

wichita is the most beautiful city in
Kansas, If not in the west Certainly
this Is true of the resident streets of the
northern section of the city. No idea
can be gathered of its attractiveness
from the railway lines or from its bust
ness streets. An extensive traveller and
close observer. whose home is in H.
nols, after couple hours ride along
the shaded avenues and about the more
attractive home section of this town
one evening last week. enthusiasticall
exclaimed that Wichita was the most
delightful city of its size in America:
that such uniform pretty architectural
designed homes, so uncovered and 50
set off with fine lawns could be found
nowhere between the Atlantic and Pa
cIhc as studied several avenues and
streets running north of Douglass
avenue and east and parrellel with
Main. What is true of these streets is
also true of Waco avenue and of seV-
eral avenues in the south half of the
city, To say nothing of the suburbs of
Riverside, Paramount and College Hill.
When all these scenic effects and de-
lights are taken into the consideration
with the facts of the purest and most
abundant water supply. amending miles
OF uniform, delightful drives. its super
lauVeiy lighted streets. its pavements
