FORGED ENDORSEMENTS.
A Gay Young Chap Nearly Into Serious
Trouble.

A stylish appearing young fellow
who has been stopping at leading
hotel for the past three weeks, and
who has been working on scheme
in the interest of a Twin City
firm, stepped into the National
Citizens bank Tuesday forenoon
and presented check Grawn upon a
Boston firm for $50 and apparently
endorsed by a man connected with
a business house of this city. The
check was signed by a dapper young
man who presented it. The bank
teller concluded that he would not
pay it, as he was not acquainted with
the endorser.
Half an hour later, the young man
returned with new check, similar to
the first one, but bearing what pur
ported to be the endorsement OF a
leading physician Of the city on the
back. Again the teller, who was
suspicious of the young fellows &C.
tions, refused to pay the check. AS
soon as it had been passed back to the
young man, he destroyed it. The
bank teller subsequently ascertained
that the endorsements on both checks
were forgeries.
Officer Thilgen detained the young
man at the city hall for short time
this afternoon, expecting that some
one of the parties would swear out a
warrant for him. None of the parties
interested would do so, however, and
the young man went his way. He
claimed that the checks were good
and that they were drawn on his
fathers firm and would have been
honored.

PEOPLE WE KNOW.
They are Mankato People and What
They Say Is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home 1T is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences
go the rounds of the press; are pub
lished as facts; when the intelligent
reader knows they can't 6e true,
there is nc wonder people become
skeptical. On one subject skepticism
is rapidly disappearing. This is due
to the actual personal experience of
our citiz Ems, and their public utter
ances regarding them. The doubter
must doubt no more in the face of
such evidence as this. The public
statement of reputable citizen liv-
ing right here at home, one whom
you can see every day, leaves no
ground for the skeptic to stand on.
Mr.. G. A. Cedar, of 6O4 North Front
street, says: "Doan's Kidney pills
cured me. 1 think for year steadily
I had most depressing backache. It
was a dull, nagging aching accom-
panied at times by sharp twinges
through the small of my back when
making any sudden movement like
rising from my bench. / thought it
would wear off in time, but it did
not. Reading about Doan's Kidney
pills 1 procured them from the Seidle
Drug Co. They quickly did the bust
ness and 1 am now free from the
trouble. Since that 1 have recon-
mended this preparation to my &C
quaintances, and / can vouch for the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills with
much colfdence."

BLUE EARTH ALL RIGHT
The Republicans Will Carry the
Election By a Good Ma
jOrity.
Every Candidate on the Ticket Will Be
Elected.
Eustis' Majority Will Not Be Less
Than ESQ.

A careful canvass Of Blue Earth
county by towns, leaves no shadow of
doubt about a splendid Republican
majority for the entire ticket. A
conservative investigation of the
Swedish-American voters does not re.
veal any serious detection. No doubt
a few will vote for Mr.. Lind but the
great majority will stay by their
party principles and support Mr..
Eustis with as much enthusiasm as
they have heretofore exhibited. The
Swedish-Americans do not relish the
claims put forth by the Demo-Pops
at every election that they are going
over to that party for certain of their
candidates. They have in Albert
Berg, a candidate for secretary of
state. Scandinavian of whom they
all feel pride in, and they recognize
that it would be most ungracious
act for men of other nationalities to
vote against him simply because he is
a Swede, and they know it will not be
done. Yet there would be just as
much sense for this kind of talk and
action as there is for the claim of the
Pops that the Swedes will vote for
Lind because he is of Swedish extrac.
tion. Such kind of campaign talk
and claims are beneath the dignity
of American nolitics.
The lowest estimate put upon this
county by those competent to judge
from figures at hand is $50 majority
for Eustis. Two years ago Gov.
Clough carried the county by only
1877 plurality. while Congressman Nc
Cleary carried it by nearly 1000 and
President Mckinley by 1900. The
eptire county ticket averaged about
700. There were hundreds of staunch
Republicans who would not vote for
Clough then but are open and en-
thusiastic for Elstis now, while a
large number of Democrats who re-
fused to vote for governor in '96 will
vote for Mr.. Epstis. With such a
vote out as Blue Earth county ought
to produce, Mr.. Eustis will exceed
the estimate here given by good
many.
Be sure and 60 to the polls. Let
nothing interfere with your voting.

BADLY SCALDED.
Two Young Men Receive Fright
full Burns.
Fred LObdell and Mox Siebert, of West
Mankato, Injured While Render
ing TaIlow.

A terrible accident happened to
Fred Lobdell and Mox Siebert while
they were engaged in rendering tai
low in P. S. Lobdell's slaughter house
in West Mankato, at about five
o'clock Saturday afternoon. Young
Lobdell is twelve years old and young
Siebert eighteen. They were boiling
the tallow in boiler and were un-
aware how hot it was, having much
greater pressure of steam on than
they thought. They took the cover
off, and the tallow flew out over
them.
Fred Lobdell received the most
severe burns. Both his hands and
arms were burned to the elbows, also
the upper half Of his back, his shout
ders, neck. ears and ankles, besides
spots on other parts of his body.
Mox Siebert's right hand and arm
half way to the elbow were burned,
also the left side of his face and ear.
He may be permanently disfigured.
Drs. Andrews, Webster & Thinner
nan were called and did what they
could to relieve the intense suffering
of the boys. 1t is not thought that the
burns will prove fatal in either case,
but the boys will be laid up for long
time. Lobdell is a son of p S. Lob
dell, proprietor of the West Mankato
meat market, and Siebert is son of
VIM. Siebert.

CITY NOT LIABLE.
City Attorney Pfau Has no Fears From
the VOsbeck Suits.

City Attorney Pau is not losing
any sleep over the threatened suits of
MI and Mrs. Geo. Vosbeck against
the city to recover SIT 900 for injuries
to their little boy and to Mrs. Vos-
beck When asked today what the
city was going to do about it, he re-
piled that the city is not liable in
such case and cannot be recovered
against.
Attorneys believe that there was
negligence somewhere in not having
the pully so nigh that children could
not get into it. Young children. they
say, do not know the danger of hand
ling such appliances, and there is no
contributory negligence in their case
as would be the case with older peo-
pie, who are supposed to know enough
about such matters to keep out of
danger.

HE STANDS FOR EUsTIs.

At the Republican meetings held
in St. Paul Monday evening, Harry
Franklin, labor leader in the twin
cities, and whom, if memory serves
us right, has been secretary of one of
the labor organizations in st. Paul,
was one Of the speakers, and the Pho
neer Press reports him as follows:
Harry Franklin, as laboring man
and as member Of The labor organ
IL atoms, told why he INTENDS to vote
the Republican ticket from top to
bottom. He will vote for Congress
man Stevens because the interests of
the laboring men have always receiv-
ed the best efforts that Mr.. Stevens
was able to put forth. Never have
they appealed to him in vain. nor has
he been unmindful of their interests.
He will vote for the Republican can
didate for governor because Mr.. Eustis
has always shown himself to be the
staunch friend of labor. & On that hot
July morning when the street car en-
ployes went on strike. who came to
the rescue of the men but w. 81.
Eustis? Before the preachers of the
twin cities were out of bed-it was on
Sunday-Mr. Eustis was at the car
barns comforting with the strikers.
He went from there to the officials of
the line, and before noon had secured
for the men what they asked and the
cars we're started again. When 500
printers in the ,city Of St. Paul were
on strike did not Mr.. Eustis come
over from Minneapolis and succeed in
effecting an adjustment of the griev-
ances that was satisfactory to all con-
cerned? Some years ago when it was
proposed to legislate the fraternal in
surance organizations of the state out
of existence debate was held in the
Peoples church, at which the argu-
ments for and against these societies
were presented. 1t was proposed to
make the minimum rate of insurance
so high that the laboring man could
not afford to protect his family by
this class of insurance. When the
labor organizations looked about for
champion of their interests they
chose Mr.. Eustis, and he pleaded their
cause with such force and fervor that
the movement died in it's infancy.
Mr.. Franklin will vote for the rest
of the Republican ticket on account
Of the good that the party has brought
to the laboring man since the begin
ming OF the present administration.
Two years ago there were thousands
in ST. Paul out of employment. Only
a few days ago the secretary of the
bricklayers' union received an appli-
cation from the St. Paul Telephone
company for men. The secretary was
obliged to notify the company that
the men could not be furnished. as all
were working, The secretary of the
cigarmakers' union states that for
two years previous to 1898 the union
paid from S75 to 500 month out Of
it's benefit fund. Since Jan. the ex-
penditure has not averaged $40 a
month.

rallies in Mankato to try to stem the
tide that has now set strongly in
toward the Republican cause. One
was held Tuesday and one Saturday
night. Tuesdays meeting will be ad-

nights meeting, of course, will be the
most interesting and the most largely
attended. Owen has appeared in
