OFFICER WASN'T CERTAIN.
A Madelia Deputy Sheriff Gets Pointers
From MankatO Officers.

The deputy sheriff residing at
Madelia telephoued to Sheriff Bowen
Friday, saying that two men
had each stolen an overcoat at
dance or public entertainment there
Thursday, and giving a description
of them. He asked that, if the
parties could be found in this city,
they be held for him, as he had a
warrant for their arrest. He said
that one Of the thieves had dropped
the coat which he had stolen, but
that the other had gotten away with
his booty.
The officers soon located young
man in a saloon, and as he seemed to
answer the description of one OF the
men wanted, he was taken into
custody. He gave the name of Van
Ness, and absolutely denied any
knowledge of the burglary. He said
that he was at Madelia Thursday,
went from there to St. James, and
then came to Mankato. He admitted
being with the other party who is
believed to be located.
Sheriff Bowen notified by telephone
the Madelia officer of the arrest, and
asked whether Van Ness should be
held. The officer answered that he
would be after the prisoner in case
he did not get the other man.
Later, he telephOned ask
ing that the prisoner be held
until the afternoon train, and if he
did not come then the officers should
release Van Uess. Sheriff Bowen re-
piled that he was not in that kind OF
business, and that the Madelia Of
ficer should answer ives" or "no"
whether he would come after the
prisoner. No definite answer was re-
ceived, and Van Ness was discharged
from custody. He claims to have an
uncle at Mapleton, but could not re-
member his name. He also claims to
have other relatives in this section.
He had no overcoat with him. He
said that he wished to 60 to Clinton,
Iowa.
Sheriff Bowen says that the action
of the Madelia officer was very un-of-
ficer-like and that it will be cold
day when any more Of his requests for
the arrest of persons are complied
with.

AGAIN A CANDIDATE.
Representative Jameson Will Ask Re.
Nomination For the Legislature.

Hon. VIM. Jameson, Of Rapidan,
was in the city Saturday and gave it
out to his friends that he will be a
candidate before the next Republican
county convention for legislative
honors.
Mr.. Jameson is one of the most
honorable and respected OF our citi-
zens. He is a representative in it's
best sense, of the agricultural class.
Broad guaged and liberal in his views
regarding public matters, he is at the
same time watchful of the peoples
interests in the expenditure of funds.
Mr., Jameson says he wants it
thoroughly understood that he is un-
qualifedly for the reelection of Sena-
tor Davis-not because he wants his
stand on the question to influence the
action of the convention, but because
he is a firm believer that tn
Senator's services for the country
have earned for him the undivided
and universal support of every loyal
Republican in Minnesota. And In
that declaration, Mr.. Jameson will
find hearty second by the voters Of
Blue Earth county.
AS it now stands, the Fourth COM
missioner district will have two
worthy gentlemen from which to
make selection for the legislature,
either of whom will do honor to the
position.

The campaign this year between the
two candidates for Governor, as we'll as
the canvass prosecuted by the various
candidates for the Legislature, should
be fought out on State issues. This is
an 'off year." and the State is not
racked by the discussion of momentous
questions bearing upon the national
policy. 1t is year when State issues
are uppermost in the public mind, and
it is State issues the people want to
have decided. They want an intelli-
gent policy outlined, a policy which
will put the State on sound and en-
during basis and which will make pro-
vision for gradually doing away with
public debt; not only do they want to
see such policy outlined, but they
want to see it carried into effect.
Home affairs, local self-government,
the rate and method of taxation for
State and county purposes, the manner
OF the payment OF state and county Of
fcers, the fee question, the operation
of the Jarvis law, the number Of courts
which remain, and then the all.absorb-
ing question of the State debt; these
are the things which effect the pros
perity, happiness and general welfare
of the people of Tennessee, these are
the issues they want to hear discussed
and explained, these are what they are
most interested in. National issues
should cut but q small figure in the
campaign. 1t is practically settled that
General Bate will succeed himself in
the Senate, and the Governor can have
no part in national legislation other
than the appointment of United States
