PROPER COOKING.
Food and Conduoes TO
Health.

Red meats, broiled, boiled, baked or
roasted, are admirable food for those
who need them. Fried or overlooked
they are almost worthless. Bread well
made and baked may be the staff of
life;" badly made and baked it will
be the usual source of "sour stom-
ach." The true value of dish de-
pends more upon the proper choice,
com binations and cookery of the in
gradients than upon the quantity Of
solid, nutritious matters found by q
laboratory analysis OF the uncooked
materials. 1t is to be hoped that as
time passes our women may be suffi-
GENTLY impressed by the growing lack
of intelligence in the servants who
work in our kitchens to study cook
cry as science; then they may be
able, without the assistance Of drugs,
to digest the God-given foods.
We all know. or should at least, that
an egg lightly cooked will digest in
half the time that it will take to d.
gest one hard-boiled. In winter, in
cold climates, the carbonaceous foods
should be increased; in summer heat,
use in their place sub-acid fruits and
green vegetables, and less proper
ton also of flesh foods.

mer resorts calling for heavy foods,

When he first arrived in MankatO,
he was introduced to Mr.. Benack by
travelling man we'll known by the
latter, and for this reason was given
credit. Mr.. Benack is out IS 30 in
cash.
Waggoner had some time ago order
ed a suit of clothing made by o..
Nicholson, and called for it Saturday
evening, offering a check for $40 In
payment for it. 1t, also, purported to
be signed by o. p. Smith. Mr.. Nickel
son took the check but declined to ad-
vance any money in change. Wag
goner put on the suit and started
south on Front street. Mr.. Nickel
son FASTENED to consult his nephew,
who is an employe of the Mankato
State bank, and learned that the
check was no good He then over
took Waggoner and made him return
the suit Of clothing.
During the day, Waggoner had been
driving with three young women SAID
to be his cousins, having secured the
team at Peter Sanger's livery stable
on South Front street. He returned
to the barn about supper time and
offered to the barn man, +. A.
Richards, a check for SlS, similar to
the other checks. Richards could
not change it, and Mr.. Lilies saloon
was visited without success. MI.
Richards suggested that the check
could be caShed at M. A. Sherk &
Sons grocery store, across the street.
Waggoner replied that he was not &C
quainted there, and Richards said
that he would get it cashed for him.
A clerk, Andrew Burmaster, cashed
the check, and Richards retained 81
for the team, handing the balance to
WaggOner.
At about nine o'clock, Mr.. Janda
saw Waggoner drive south On Front
street, and at once telephoned to
Sheriff Bowen and asked that he
come down at once. Mr.. Bowen was
in bed, but fastened down town as
rapidly as possible and went to Mr..
Sanger's barn, where he saw Wag-
goner and the three girls seated in
the carriage. He did not know that
a check had been actually cashed or
whether they were forgeries, as no
one had made complaint. Learning
of the check cashed earlier in the
evening at M. A. Sherk & Sons, he
fastened there at once and was shown
the check. which was dated Oct. %
Mr.. Bowen knew from the date that
the check was forgery. 1t develop
ed afterwards, that all of the checks
were dated alike.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-11-04
Charged With Forgery.

Monday morning two warrants were
sworn out for Waggoner. One was
procured by T. A. Sherk and the other
by Waldimer Peterson, and both
charge forgery in the second degree
shy uttering and disposing Of a
forged instrument as genuine, know
ing the same to be forged"
Waggoner was arraigned on Mr..
Sherk's warrant and asked to have
time to consult Attorney S. B. Will
son. He desired that the bond b,
placed as low as possible, but Evar
Hughes, representing the county at
torney, would not consent that it be
placed al less than $500. An adjourn
ment was taken until Friday, and the
bail was placed at $500, in default of
which Waggoner was committed to
Jail. He states that his uncle will go
his bail. The district court convenes
Nov. 9th.
Mr. Hughes states that he will con-
suit the United States district at
torney tomorrow, with view to
turning Waggoner over to the United
States court for giving out checks
without a revenue stamp, None Of
the checks were stamped, as required
by law.
The officials believe that Waggoner
had planned his scheme to pass the
checks fer week or more. Several
things point to this, as will be seen
above, but he claims that he acted
upon the spur of the moment and
says that he does not know why he
did it.

Mr.. Smiths name was presented to
the state convention as the unani-

of the Second district, where he has
lived for years and where he is well

unanimously ratified the selection,
and the people will see to it that he
receives an overwhelming majority at

Waggoner Confesses.

Waggoner confessed to the officials
that he had passed six forged checks
Saturday evening. When seen by a
Free Press reporter Monday he
admitted that he had passed four
checks. He seemed to be repentant.
When asked why he did it, he replied
that he didn't know, and said that he
deserved to be shot for what he had
done and said that he wished that he
had been. He said that his home is
in Ontario, and that his parents are
mfortably situated. He said that
he intended to settle with everybody
whom he had wronged, and hoped in
this way to get free. He said that
he came to Mankato from Montreal,
where he was employed as collector
for mercantile company. He would
not say what he did with the $40
check that he attempted to pass upon
Mr.. Nicholson, simply saying it was
gone. He said that he had intended
togo to Chicago.
The signature of O. P. Smith to
the checks is a very good imitation.
The checks are written upon blank
checks of the Mankato National bank
that Waggoner probably took from
one of the desks in the bank, where
they are kept for the convenience OF
customers. Mr.. Smith has not yet
transferred his accoun5 from the
ManKato National to the Mankato
State bank, being absent from the
citV
