WANTS A COMPANY.
Elder Reed Now Proposes to rlanu-
faCture An Air Ship.

Rev. Daniel d. Reed, of Eagle Lake,
inventor of the air ship, since his in
terview with Congressman McCleary
has decided that the best way to pro-
mote the interests of his invention is
to form company for it's manufac-
ture. He has drawn up paper for
those who want to take stock to
sign, whereby he turns over ito the
stockholders fourth interest in his
invention. The stock is to be issued
in ten dollar shares and Mr.. Reed
hopes that the first to sign will take
a dozen or two shares each. He pro-
poses to begin the manufacture of an
air ship after the model which he has
prepared, as soon as sufficient stock
has been subscribed.
Elder Reed is now devoting the
most of his time to advancing the in
terests of his invention and getting it
in a way to be manufactured and put
on the market. He is in the city a
good part of the time, and will doubt

with the necessity for flagman, anu
for this reason the railroad would be
favorable sc the idea.
In talking on the subject today, one
resident said: eff another bridge is
to be built, levy ought to be made
for bridge fund, to extend over a
period of five years, This would
make very little burden on the people.
State and county aid could be secured.
The bridge would cost only fraction
of what the present bridge cost, for
iron is cheap and labor is plenty. The
business men on South Front street
should be assessed, Also"
The proposed bridge might cross
the river from the foot of the bluff on
the Belgrade side to "A" street in
Cummings addition. This would be
much nearer for the farmers than GO
ing as far as the present bridge.

NOVEL EOUESTRIANlSM.
Senior Domingo, Champion of Mexico,
Is With Ringing Bros. Circus.

The Mexican people are proverbially
a race of expert horsemen. American
travellers, especially from the East,
who visit Southern Mexico, are as
founded at the marvellous skill of the
equestrians met at almost every turn.
No matter how high spirited horse
may be, or how vicious, the Senior
never loses his equanimitY, nor his
cigarette, for both are parts of his art.
In nation of riders, of course,
there is always some one expert who
excels all the rest. This expert, who
is Senior Jose Domingo, was found by
the agents of Ringing Bros. Worlds
Greatest Shows, at Pueblo, Mexico,
but, like all of his race, Senior Domingo
evidenced decided antipathy to leav-
ing his country, to ride for the
"Gringos" as all foreigners are called.
He was finally engaged, however, and
will be seen here with Ringing Bros.
Shows, having made his debut under
their banners in Chicago last April.
Senior Domingo is handsome young
man, of fine physique and statue,
and he simply rides all over horse.
His hurricane style is immutable and
peculiar to himself. It's just as easy
for him to jump clear over running
horse, or to stand on the horses head
\ II ic 20 r;lac in
full native dress, including heavily
embroidered sombrero and the ever
present cigarette.
He is the undisputed champion of
Mexico and is a finished, dashing, hur-
ricane rider whose like in America
has never been seen.
The Ringing Show comes to Man
katO, Saturday, July 3rd.

ON THE STONE PILE.
The First Cases Under the New Vag-
rancy Law Today.

Four hard looking tramps, giving
the names of Thos. Clark, Harry Dew
ley, Dan Lynch and Frank Lowe,
were before the court this morning
under the new vagrancy law passed
last winter. When questioned by the
court their answers showed that the
charge was true, and they were SEN
fenced to pay fine of s. and costs
each, in default of which they were
ordered confined in the city
prison for five days at
hard labor under the supervision
of the chief of police as provided by
chapter 127, general laws of 1897. The
fellows were put to work on the stone
pile back of the city hall. Two re-
fused to work, but when commit
ment to the county jail for ten days
on bread and water was procured they
changed their minds. 1t is likely
that they will find chance to make
their escape after taste of hard
work, in which case they will not be
apt to visit Mankato again.

TWO RUNAWAYS.

Sebastian Zimmerman's delivery
horse ran away Saturday. 1t was
standing near the City Hotel and dur
ing the absence of the driver started
slowly for home. Several dogs began
to bark at it and caused the animal to
become frightened and run away. The
horse ran into horse and buggy on
Front street without doing injury,
but the delivery wagon was badly de-
molished before the horse was
stopped, part of it being left on the
street.

Term. 20 . = sz,'s -. ~. ~ s. 49,:
The case OF the state OF mImuU1vUa
against Geo. Merrill, alias Frank
Schafer, was called Friday: morning.
Merrill was indicted for granu larceny
in the second degree for the alleged
stealing of bicycle belonging to DR..
Grant, and for the alleged stealing OF
coat and vest belonging to John
Conrad. These articles were found
pawned at l.. Salet's shop shortly
after they were stolen. Merrill was
indicted with Edward Graves for the
alleged stealing of the wheel.
The following jury was secured:
E. w. Griggs, Geo. Schultz, Herman
Hollester, Edward Wigley, E. p. Ru-
tan, Frank Warren, L. A. Garberg,
VIM. HOge, Amel Kundson, Paul Oh
son, Geo. Strong, r. G. Rev.
County Attorney Hughes appeared
for the state and Attorney VIM. f.
Hughes for the defendent. The wit
nesses sworn for the state were Mrs.
DR.. Grant, L. Salet, Officers Schuette
and Daniels and Joseph Reynolds. A
strong case was made out. Merrill
went on the stand in his own behalf
and claimed that Graves told him
that he had bicycle and asked him
to help him pawn it. He said that he
went with Graves to the old j. H.
Long building, and that while he re-
manned on the sidewalk Graves went
in and got the wheel. They went to-
gether to the pawn shop and got a
few dollars on the bicycle. Merrill
claimed that he did not know that
Graves was stealing the wheel, and
denied any guilt on his own part.
This afternoon Carl Iceberg was
sworn for the state, and then the at
torneys made their arguments and
the case was submitted to the jury
with the instructions of the Judge.
The jury retired at 2:35 p. M, and
brought in verdict at 1925 p. M. 1t
found the defendant guilty of grand
larceny in the second degree, as
charged in the Indictment
The trial of the suit of T. j.
Mitchell VS.. Ed ward Austin was com
menced in the afternoon. VIM. f
Hughes appears for the plaintiff and
Thomas and Evan Hughes for the de-
PENDANT. 1t is an action to recOv er
$4,000 damages for alleged malicious
prosecution and false i'm
prisonment.. Last winter MI
Austin had Mitchell and Clark
Phillips arrested on the charge of
stealing part of an old building from
his farm, but they were acquitted at
the preliminary hearing. They claim
that there was not probable cause for
their arrest. Phillips is plaintiff in a
similar suit against Mr.. Austin.

WILL FACE THE MUSIC.
Congressman McCIeary Will Soon
Name Several p. MS i'm His
District,

There is not buster man in the
Second district these days than is
Congressman McCleary. When it was
announced by wire several weeks ago
that Mr.. McCleary had left Washing
ton with the intention of visiting his
district to settle several pOstoffice ap-
pointments, aspirants for selection all
over the district were watchful for
his coming. Since landing here last
Sunday evening Mr.. McCleary has
given audience to large number of
applicants and their friends, and he
will spend the balance of the week in
three or four Of the most important
towns to gather such information as
he may require in determining upon
his recommendations
The terms of the present Demo
cratic incumbents of postOff1ces at
Amboy, Winnebago City, Blue Earth
City and Fairmont are about to expire
and their successors will be very soon
selected. Whoever of the several ap-
plicants at these points Mr.. McCleary
may decide to recommend for ap-
pointment, it is safe to assume that
the fortunate gentlemen will be
worthy and acceptable.
In the dispensing of patronage it is
a physical impossibility to please
everybody. Mr.. McCleary realizes
this fact fully, and while he has de-
sire to please as many people as pos
sible, his first duty will be to select
only competent men for positions of
public trust, and from the large num-
Der of such gentlemen, all strongly
endorsed, he will have to make his Sc
lections. And in doing SO most good
citizens will endorse his action, how
ever much they might wish Tor the
.success of "t'other fellow"
Monday will be devoted by MI. NC
Cleary to the reception of delegations
from various portions of the district,
and as this day has been set apart
especially tor outside gentlemen
poodly number of visitors may be ex'
pected. Tuesday, Mr.. McCleary will
leave for Wisconsin with his family,
and he will Immediately proceed to
Washington, there to remain until the
close of the extra session OF congress.

Due July Ist.
The first of the court house bonds,
$4,000, fall due July LIST. The county
board has made arrangements to pay
these in cash. The intention is to
take $4,000 from the county funds
and borrow $4,000 from the banks for
one year. The last tax levy made
provision to enable this plan to be
carried out, and in order that the tax
might be no greater, the levy for the
road and bridge fund was suspended
for two years. The saving of interest
on these bonds will be quite an item.
The remainder of the bonds, $35, 900,
do not fall due for number of years.

ANCIENT TREASURES.
Early Christian Documents Unearthed in
Egypt.

London, May ga great find of an.
Gent papyri in Egypt has been made by
GrenfeH and Hunt, who are working in
behalf of the Egyptian Exploration Fund.
At Behneseh many ancient rubbish
mounds yielded q rich store. In three
mounds the quantity Of rolls found is
large enough to warrant the assumption
that part of the archives had been
thrown there.
The papyri range from the R oman con-
quest to early Arab times. Each century
ments are written in Greek, with a
sprinkling of Latin, Coptic, and Arabic
Little is yet known of the contents, but
Grenfell's hope, in digging at the site of
Oxyrychus, of finding early Christian
documents is realized. #
Among the papyri is leaf from a third
century papyrus book containing a col
lection of the sayings of Christ. Some of
these sayings are not in the Gospels and
others exhibit divergences from the text
of the Gospels. 1t is believed that when
the papyri are examined in detail further
discoveries of Christian records, as well
as fragments of lost classical literature,
will be found, since in some of the
mounds a large proportion of the papyri
are written in uncials, which were largely
employed during the first few centuries
of the Christian era. @kt =
One hundred and fifty rolls, in many
cases several feet long, have been retained
at the Gizeh museum, and the rest are on
the way to England.
Besides the papyri, number of coins,
200 inscribed tiles, bronze and ivory orna-
ments, and other objects of the Roman
and Byzantine periods have been re-
covered.
