THE INJUNCTION CASE.

The order to show cause why the
Northwestern Telephone Co. should
not be enjoined from setting pole in
front of A. J Busch & Sons store was
argued before JudgeSeveranceTuesday
morning. Supt. G. p. Wainman and
Attorney d. T. Morgan, of Min

were present to represent the
company, and Mr.. Busch and
his attorneys, Lorin Cray and w.

There is simple scene, that can
be found anywhere in the city, de-
picted in Pond & Jorgenson's show
window, but it attracts crowds of
people. 1t is diminutive COW and
dairy maid, and real hen with
brood of big chickens. 1t is inter
esting to watch the biddy and chicks
trying to sleep under the glare of the
electric light and crowd of faces
lining the window at night.
Prof. Dudley, the former eccen-
trio proprietor of the Washington
House, is in trouble. He is charged
by Emmett Appley, of Garden City,
with stealing a calf, and was arrested
last night and brought to this city,
and taken back this morning for ex-
animation before the Justice. He de-
MES the charge, and claims that the
calf was his. ....

THE PARK CORNER.

We understand that one of the main
snags struck by the ordinance COM
mittee Of the council Tuesday after
noon in looking over the proposed
right of way was at the corner of the
Sibley Park, where about fifty feet of
the park is to be occupied at the gate
corner. This is not a serious matter,
as that end of the park is the least
valuable, and of no use whatever.
The proposed right of way will go but
a fraction of the way toward the race
track, and the ground taken would
never be of practical use. Ground
can be spared from that corner of the
park better than from any other por-
tion Of it. The entrance can be
moved slightly. No hitch ought to
occur over the park.

DROPPED DEAD.
Herman Minkel, of Beauford, dies
Suddenly in MankatO.

Herman Minkel, a well-to-do farmer
of BeaufOrd township, drove to the
city Wednesday with his eleven
year-Old son, and stopped at the Stahl
house, after getting glass Of beer.
1t was 1910 p. M. when he arrived at
the hotel and put up his team, and he
went into dinner few moments later.
He could not eat, and a man sitting
opposite him at the table noticed
that he was turning pale and suggest
ed that he was sick and better go out.
Mr.vMinkel raised himself from the
chair with difficulty, and before he
reached the door was assisted by Mr..
Stahl. A few feet out of the dining
room he dropped down, and in three
or four minutes was dead. DR.. j. A.
HielScher was summoned, and said
that the man must have died either
of heart disease or apopleXy.
Mr.. Minkel had appeared to be in
histusual good health on his arrival.
He had S119.35 in money on his per-
son. He was about forty-five years of
age, and leaves a wife and several
Children. Coroner Paddock was
summoned, but decided that no in
quest was necessary.
Mrs. M. Weber, Of West MankatO,
is a sister-in-law of deceased, and
the Fitzloff family, of St. Clair, are
cousins.

Most people do not realize that these sudden
dizzy spells, pains in the small of the back,
and inability to retain refreshing sleep, loss
of appetite, a face that has an unnatural pallor
and puffy appearance are the unmistakable
evidences of Brights disease, or some other
terrible kidney complication.
Sufferers so afflicted drag out miserable
existence, growing weaker from day to day
until they hail the sudden death that eventu-
ally overtakes them as a blessing for releasing
them from pain. But, why get in this con-
dition? Follow Mr.. Dice example; with the
first symptoms take Kickapoo Indian Sagwa,
that most wonderful and effectual of all rem
edies for the cure of all arrangements of the
stomach, liver and kidneys, and the greatest
blood purifier known to medical science.
Thousands OF testimonials similar to the
above are continually reaching us. Add yours
tothe list; yon surely will when you find that
this great remedy has saved yourlife. Remem-
Der though always effectual it is absolutely
harmless containing no poisonous ingredients
whatever. 1t has been used by Indians for
centnries and their long life and freeness
from such troubles as described above make
them living examples of its wonderful power.

JUST IN TIME.
A Terrible Catastrophe Averted.
How Mr.. Dice almost passed the
portals of death. Restored
to health in a manner that
seems miraculous.

There are thousands of people in the world
that are dying daily, who even few hours be-
fore the end were in no worse condition than
was Mr.. John Dice of 2629 w. 3rd Street,
Duluth, MINI. His sufferings from his own
account must have been terrible, afflicted as
he was with severe kidney and stomach
trouble, but perhaps itwould be best to let him
describe his sickness and how he was restored
to health by the use of kickapoo Indian Sagwa
in his own words:

my kidney and stomach. In rising after bend

thing would look black to me. l knew that

Last Thursday the DAILY FREE
PRESS gave the exclusive information
that negotiations were almost or quite
consummated for the transfer Of the
lease and management of the opera
house from G. III. Saulpaugh to G. d..
Benack. The matter had been closely
guarded by those interested, and no
whisper of it had gotten out, and it
came as surprise to our business
men. The transfer took place the
next day, Friday, when Mr.. Benack
became manager de factO, and today
the formal transfer of the papers was
made, confirming what had already
been arranged and carried out. By
the terms of the sale, the uneXpired
term of the lease from A. G. Bier
bauer, the stage setting not belonging
to the house, and the good will of Mr..
Saulpaugh, together with all the
bookings, become the property of Mr..
Benack. Our readers have already
been informed as to this.
Mr.. Benack has already begun to
make important changes in the opera
house. which will enable the largest
and best companies to appear here.
The dressing rooms and closets are be-
ing removed to the basement and the
stage made longer. The gas fixtures
are being rearranged, and everything
will be put in the most approved
shape.
Mr.. Benack will cease his connec-
tion with the Chicago hardware COM

and will give his entire time to his
affairs in Mankato. 1t would be no
surprise to his friends here to see him
soon engage in mercantile business

The Clinton B. Fisk Junior Prohibi-
tion League, No. 2, met Tuesday

and effected permanent organiza-
tion. The gathering was we'll attend
ed and plans were laid to take up a
four-year course of reading on all
phases of prohibition, with a view to
making practical application of the
same. The object is to promote pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic in the fol-
lowing ways: First, by teaching our
young people total abstinence for the
state and nation. Second, by the
study and investigation Of corrupt
politics, economic distress and social
disorders, now so prevalent. Third,
by joining with other leagues of the
state in the support of the party best
embodying in it's platform our declar-
alton of principles and pledge. The
meetings for the present will be held
every two weeks, Monday evenings,
commencing Nov. 18th at the Eldred

The Reviep, with that assurance

The ReUietu, with that assurance
born of undaunted egotism and nursed
by spirit of jealous imbecility, has
established itself as the court, jury
and prosecuting attorney to pass upon
the validity of the recently issued but
On-negOtiable electric light bonds.
Last summer one of the best read and
most prominent attorneys in Southern
Minnesota wrote communication to
the FREE PRESS wherein he cited law
and gave facts to show that the bond
question was not properly submitted
and as a sequence the bonds, if issued
under the vote had, would be clearly
illegal. We do not believe that any
of our citizens, however enthusiastic,
would for moment desire these bonds
flOated except that they are fully and
truly legal. 1t would otherwise be no
better than the passing of counterfeit
money. Farson, Leach & Co., after
having given notice of it's willingness
to accept the bonds, took the bust
ness precaution before so doing to re-
fer the subject of their legality t. a
competent law firm, and after care
full study of our laws and charter,
gave it as their opinion that the
bonds, as passed, were illegally issued.
AS a result, Farson, Leach & Co. de-
clined to accept them. In the face
of the legal evidence to the contrary
the great Blackstonean mind of the
ReUieoo contends that it, all by itself,
settled the fact Of the legality of the
bonds away back in July, and now
that it's decision has been Overruled,
it gets it's legal professional back up,
so to speak, and charges dishonorable
intent upon our correspondent for
writing his legal opinion, and upon
the FREE PRESS for publishing it.
Nothing can be farther from the
truth in either Or both cases. The
attorney who wrote his opinion and
gave the law from which he arrived
at his deductions is an honorable gen.
tleman, above dishonest methods, land
certainly the peer of the ReUieac edi-
tor, with all of his boosted virtues.
So far as the FREE PRESS is concerned
it has quite as much interest in the
future of Mankato as has it's complain
ing contemporary, and is quite as
anxious to preserve the credit of
the city to point above criti-
cism. The ReUieaU has simply been
mistaken in it's ability to formulate
a bad case into good law, and it should
swallow it's chagrin with better grace
than to charge all kinds of corruption
against parties equally as honest as it.
self, not to put it stronger. If the
ReUie,U editor is sincere, and really
knO,rS that the bonds are legal, let him
take the pains to vindicate his legal
lore by bringing the matter before
the attorney general for his opinion.
Refusing to do this, it would be bet
ter, and certainly of more profit to his
readers, to turn his attention to the
discussion of some live question and
let this dead issue slumber in peace.

GOT NINETY DAYS.
Chas ChiIson Pleads Guilty to Petit
Larceny.

Charles Chilson was arrested late
Tuesday afternoon on warrant
sworn out by Carl Noetzelman charg-
ing him with petit larceny committed
in Lime township October 23rd. The
offense charged is the stealing of a
Davis double barrel shot gun worth
$40, and the property of Capt. T. HI.
Andrews. In the municipal court
this morning, Chilson pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to pay fine of S25
and costs, or to go to jail for ninety
days. Not having money to pay the
fine, he was committed.
County Attorney Benedict stated to
the court that many complaints had
been made to him about the prisoner,
but this was the first case where it
had been thought that there was evil
dence to secure conviction. He
thought that the punishment should
be adequate to impress lesson upon
the prisoner. Chilson had borrowed
a gun Of Capt. Andrews and sold it to
another party.
Judge Shissler stated to the pris-
Oner that during the last ten days it
had been matter of daily occurrence
that complaints of theftS had been
made, and that he was let off once be-
fore, but that this leniency did not
do good. This was the most serious
offense yet charged. and the prisoner
seemed to be growing in crime. Part
of the confinement ought to be on
bread and water, but he would not
make it SO this time.

THE failure of Gov Clough to ac-
company the Minnesota State Ed
itorial Association excursion to At
lanJa, has caused much unfavOrable
comment among the newspapers of
the state, and there is no doubt a
good deal of reason for much of the
flashing that is being administered to
his honor. In speaking of the Gov
ernor's failure to carry out his pledge
to go to Atlanta on the excursion,
President Whitney, of the Marshall
Neaos- Messenger has this to say:
Since the return of the editors facts have been
learned that makes the action of Gov. Clough
peculiar, to say the least. On the initial day of
the excursion he did not go to Benson at all,
but spent the day from ten O'Clock till four in
the afternoon at Litchfield, two hours ride
from st. Paul.. At four. o'clock he teok the
train for Minneapolis arriving at 6 25 or an

We wonder that crime is on the in

tilches S350,00O from the state and
goes to state prison for eighteen

Why it beats the electric belt bus

justice help but be incentives to
others to initiate, hoping to escape
as lightly.
