HIS WIFE GONE.
A Deserted Husband Traces His
FaithlesS One TO rIankatO.

The different hotels were visited
Friday by a man who inquired at
each of them for young couple. lie
produced photograph of the woman
whom he was seeking, and who, he
said, was his wife. None of the hotel
proprietors remembered having seen
her, and the enquirer turned away
without giving any detailed informa-
tion concerning the elopemen6.
The man spoke with one or
two hackmen and offered them
money if they could locate
his wife. He claimed to have certain
information that the couple had come
to Mankato, but could get no trace of
them here. His home was in Pipe
stone. He thought that the couple
would leave the city in day or TWO,
and visited the depots today and eX-
hibited the photographs to the agents.
The woman appears to be about
thirty years of age and somewhat
fleshy. The picture of her alleged
paramour is that of plain looking
smooth faced individual.

SOME EXCELLENT THOUGHTS.
Practical and )ful Talks on the CO.
operatior tents and Teachers.


In ,oordance with the action Of
Tie general assembly of the Presby-
terian church at its meeting last
summer, designating Jan. 18th as a
day for prayer for schools and colleges
in all of the churches, this was the
subject at the prayer meeting at the
Presbyterian church last evening.
DR.. E. J. Davis led the meeting and
made some appropriate remarks.
Miss Carrie Robbins spoke upon the
personal influence of teachers, offer
ing some excellent thoughts.
Miss Stevens spoke of what is being
done for the betterment Of the moral
and spiritual condition Of the pupils
in the university of Minnesota.
Miss Murray took the place allotted
to Miss Crawford, and spoke briefly of
the cooperation of parents with
teachers along the moral line.
DR.. Rowe spoke upon the same sub.
ject in a wider sense, and referred to
the tendency of parents to shift the
intellectual, moral and physical train.
ing of their children entirely upon the
schools.
The meeting lasted about an hour
and half, and the talks were all prac'
tical and helpful. =.

Defendant Discharged.

Judge ShisSler said that it was
conceded on sides that parent has a
right to punish his own child for
wrong doing. When the child goes to
school, the parent SurrenderS to the
teacher the moral and legal right to
infllct corporal punishment within
moderation. Our law provides that
corporal punishment may be used in
the public schools.
The testimony shows that Mr.. Ken
aston with the back of his hand hit
the pupil and knocked the pupil out
of his seat. The boy with frankness
said that he was not hurt. Up to this
point there was certainly no reason IL
lind Prof. KenastOn guilty. Not a
witness says that Mr.. Kenaston struck
Kenney a single time. Kenney struck
Prof KenaSton five or six times. Prof
kenaston went to the cloak room
holding his eye. He asked the boy tC
go to his seat, and the boy resisted

obedience, made himself liable to
punishment, under the law. The

superintendent was justified in using
force to make the boy obey. Mr.. Ken

The decision was received with lOuC

court raped for silence.
Attorney Funk and Mrs. Fullel
were each asked whether prosecution
would be undertaken on the SecOnC

had nothing to say as to that, and thu
second said she had not made up he

FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.
Emerson Still the Subject Under
Consideration.

The Fortnightly club met at w. D.
Wizards residence Wednesday eve
ming with a good attendance. The
first paper was "Emerson's Style"
and was read by Miss Van Blarcum.
She held that his literary style was
open to criticism in many ways, but
that as writer he ranked high as be-
ing an inspirer of the young.
Miss Richards read the second
paper, on 1.-THE Importance to Amer
lea of the Works of Emerson" She
maintained that Emerson's influence
was exerted more by his personality
than by his literary works. She said
that he was greater as a lecturer than
as writer. AS an exponent Of trans
cendentalism, his writings have done
much to liberalize religious thought.
The discussion, which was led by
Miss Pierce, was on the subject of
Emerson's religion, and many conflict
ing views were brought out. All
agreed on Emerson's unusually honor
able and upright life.
The next meeting will be held a
week from next Monday night, with
Miss Deem, at the residence of Robt.
Roberts, on South Broad street.

did afterwards, for Kenney Fuller had
the right to protect himself. The witt
nesses, under severe cross -eXamina-
tion, all told substantially the same
story. Mr.. Funk reviewed the testi-
mony in endeavoring to show that Mr..
Kenaston had gone too far. He asked
the court not to take into considera-
tion what effect the outcome of the
case will have on the schools.
Mr. Pau replied to Mr.. Funk's argu-
ment. Anger, he said, is not malice,
and it is patent to all that
Prof. Kenaston was acting without
malice. Had he acted with malace,
the boy would not have appeared in
court scratches. One blow from his
| fist upon Kenneth Fuller would have
left its mark. We would have a
beauty of school if the counsel on
the other side could run it. One of
the first rules of school is that the
personal property therein must not
| be destroyed. This is the law Of the
| land. 1t is one of the first laws of a
school that the scholars must obey
the teacher. If the boy can resist,
you have him at the head of the
school, instead of the teacher. Ken
ney Fuller apologized before the
school for what he had done, because
he knew it was wrong. The
witnesses themselves have proved
for the defense all that
is needed l do not ask the court to
be led aside by any consideration of
evil effects. The law will discharge
the defendant, if he is discharged.

A HELPING HAND.
An Aged Victim of rlisfratune Enabled
to See His Dying Son.

Acts of sympathy and kindness are
not all confined to church member
ships or societies for the alienation of
poverty. One came to our notice TO-
day which is highly creditable to a
Mankato gentleman who is engaged
in the retail liquor business. While
his saloon is a we'll known one, the
gentleman is too modest to allow his
name to be mentioned, but from a
third party we learned the facts.
A telegram came yesterday for an
old man who is residing in this county
five miles from the city, and young
liveryman was called upon to deliver
it. He took the vender of liquors with
him as companion, and easily found
the house. The telegram was opened
by the old man, who learned from it
that his son is dying in town seventy
five miles from this city. The old
man, his wife, and his son-in-law's
family could not raise enough among
them to purchase one railroad ticket
to the town where the boy is sick, and
it was agreed that the only way that
the father could get to his sons bed
side would be to drive overland, which
was determined upon. This would
be very risky undertaking for man
sixty-three years of age. but he wanted
to comfort the boys last hours and
smooth the path for his final journey.
The saloon keeper had been holding
the team while the driver was deliver
ing the message, but learned of their
extreme poverty, while on the way
home. He directed that the livery
man return to the house, and when
they had arrived he went to the door
and asked to be permitted to go in and
warm his feet. He learned the old
mans story, of how he had lost his
crops and been burned out during a
five years. residence in Nebraska, and
how he had lately come to Minnesota
in destitute condition and was max
ing bare existence for himself and
wife by cutting wood at sixty cents a
cord. The saloon keeper, on rising to
90, handed the old man a crisp five
dollar bill to pay his railroad fare and
told him that if he was ever able to
pay 1t back he might do so, but if not
the money was his in welcome. Tears
of gratitude streamed down the
wrinkled cheeks of the poor old father,
as he thanked his visitor. The latter
explained that he was rum seller,
but that fact did not make the gift
any less welcome.
The old gentleman came to the city
and took the noon train for his sons
home.

A SHATTERED HAND.
A. w. Dearborn Submits to an

ing. By premature discharge of his
gun, the bones of the thumb, index
and middle finger of his right hand
were shattered. A physician dressed
the wound at the time, but pieces of
bone have since worked out. AS his
hand has given him much trouble, he
came to the city yesterday and con-
suited DR.. Davis The latter found
it necessary to remove the bones of
the thumb and two fingers to the
wrist joint, and did so, assisted by DR..

The state board of railroad and
warehouse commissioners visited
Mankato Friday and met some OF
the quarrymen. The members are
Gen. Becker, president, A. K. Teis-
berg, secretary, both of st. Paul, and
Judge l. B. Mills, of Moor head. Jor-
dan & Hayes met the board informal
ly at The Saulpaugh last evening, and
again this morning, and urged that
the board use its power and order that
transfer be put in to connect the
Chicago & Northwestern track with
the Minneapolis & st. Louis track
near the quarry and the Standard Oil
Co.'S tanks. The first named road
was represented by Supt. w. 7. Cos
grave, General Freight Agent FL. q.
Garvin, and Asst. Engineer G. S. Hall,
all of Winona. Col. VIM. Crooks, of
St. Paul, chief engineer of the Nj. u
st. L. road, was present.
During the forenoon the board went
and looked over the ground. Gus.
Widell and representatives of the
Mankato Lime and Stone Co. were
present as spectators.
Col. Crooks said that the transfer
was feasible and his road offered no
objection to it. Mr.. Hayes, as an old
railroad man, also pronounced it
feasible. The @. & N. w. officials
were opposed to it, on account of a
lack of room near the oil tanks. The
grade would be very steep, also, as
the G. & N. w. track is considerably
higher than that of the M. & St. l..
Mr.. Garvin made proposition to
take under consideration with the
Omaha road the matter of reducing
the switching charges, and as this
proved satisfactory with the quarry
men, the board decided to allow the
complaint to lie Enacted upon, pend
ing the result of this conference
There were no other complaints pre-
sented, and the board returned to st.
Paul on the 1856 p. m. train.
The present charge for switching
from the Chicago & Northwestern tC
the Minneapolis & St. Louis track il
five dollars a car, while the charge
for a similar, though shorter
hauls, from the G. & N. W
to the Omaha track or the Mil
waukee track is but two dollars. The
reduction may not be to two dollars
but reasonable reduction is expect
ed to satisfy the quarrymen.

flowed TO Dismiss.

Mr.. Pau moved that the case be
dismissed, on the ground that the
state had failed to prove its case. He
read from the Statutes of 1894 to
show that teacher to restrain d
pupil can lawfully exercise moderate
force. 1t had been SHOWN that Mr..
KenaSton was exercising the duties of
teacher, and that Ktnney Fuier bore
the relation OF pupil IT, nim, or Was d

OUT OF DEBT.
Annual Meeting of the Congrega.
tional Church Last Night.

The annual meeting of the Congre-
gational church was held last evening,
and Mrs. Thomas Hughes was elected
secretary, and G. D. Taylor was chosen
treasurer. The election of trustees
was postponed until next Thursday
evening when another meeting will

The annual reports of the officers of
the different societies connected with
the church were read, and showed
that all are in prosperous condi-
tion.
The church is now out of debt, or
practically so. The pulpit is still va

it, and the gentleman who will fill
the pulpit next Sunday is one of those
who are in view.

Saturday Afternoon.

Saturday Afternoon.
The court room was packed to sutfo-
cation this afternoon. Before the
case was opened, Judge Shissler adj
dressed the young men who were &C.
cupying the chairs in the front rank
of spectators, and said that they mad
rare opportunity to display their
gallantry by surrendering their seats
to the score or more of school girls
who were standing up in the rear OF
the room. The aforesaid young men
couldn't hear the remarks, and con-
tinued to occupy the chairs, while
the young ladies stood during the
afternoon, as they had stood during
the trial thus far.
Charlotte Pickle, sixteen year old
pupil of the eighth grade, was called
and testified that she thought Prof
Kenaston had struck Kenney on the
shoulder with the back Of his right
hand, and knocked him from the seat.
Mr.. Kenaston appeared to be anrgy,
but Kenney did not appear different
from usual. Mr.. Kenaston had hold
of .Fenney's throat while knocking
his head against the wall. l was
frightened because l thought there
was going to be fight, and l ran in
to the cloak room. Mr.. Kenaston
acted as though he was going to
punish Kenney, who resisted. Later
saw Kenney try to get out of the
window, and Mr.. Kenaston pulled
him back.
On cross examination, witness said
that she was sure that the professors
first blow was between the neck and
shoulder. There were sixty or seven
ty pupils in the room at the time.
Kenney Fuller was recalled, and
said that his full name is Eugene
Kenneth Fuller.
On cross examination, witness said
that he came into the room after the
recitation had commenced and the
class in their seats for some time
Did not make grimaces in front of the
school. Mr.. Pau asked the wit
ness whether he had not been sent
out of Miss McWilliams' class, but the
defense objected that the evidence
was not competent in this case. The
point was argued at some length. Mr.
Pau held that the punishment mus
fit the offense, and he wanted to hav'
the right to show that the boy hat
been made to stand up in the othe
room and had been sent out into Mr.
Kenaston's room because the teache
could do nothing with him. HI
wanted the right to show that tn
boy had done wrong previously to hi
coming into the room that day ant
had done so at times for some tim
previously. Mr.. Funk said that MI
Pau had no right to go back ant
drag in all that had previously &C
CURED. The attorneys warmed
up considerably and declared tina
they couldn't run over eacl
other. The courts gavel did no
quite the discussion, the spectator
began to show excitement, cour
called for the chief of police. Thi
put everybody into better humor
The attorneys had been very Technical
all day.
The witness said that he had no
disobeyed Miss McWilliams, or beef
required to stand up as punishment
and had not been sent from the class
He said that he had been standing OF
the floor in the morning. The act
at issue had happened late in tn
afternoon.
Attorney Funk said that he wa
sorry for any undue exhibition o
temper that he had made, and an
nounced that the state rested.
