sponsible. He referred them to the
city authorities. He believes that
the parties could be successfully pro-
secuted for disorderly conduct.
A prominent attorney stated to-
day that in case where the parties
who did the damage are unknown
the city could be made to pay the
damage, because the flour throwing
was allowed to proceed so openly in
the heart of the city, Where the
parties are known, they can Them
sci yes be made to pay for the Injury
to the clothing which they did, A
good many of the parties are known.
General Indignation was every
where expressed today over the -four
throwing episode, ar d it is felt that
the good name of the city has been
injured among strangers who were in
vited here, and who went away angry
and disguised with the treatment re-
ceived. These should understand
that the community as whole does
not countenance any such acts as
those perpetrated Saturday night.

For two or three years there has
been a marked divisions among the
people of North Mankato with refer
ence to the conduct of their school,

icers have the power TO call meet
ing within twenty days for the cleo
tion of a board of education of the

BOUND OVER.
Benz. AndersOn's Case Will 60 Before
the Grand Jury.

The preliminary examination of
Benjamin Anderson, of Waseca, took
place in the municipal court this
forenoon. He was charged by Peter
P. Thimsen, of Owatonna, with grand
larceny in the second degree He did
not have an attorney.
Mr.. Thimsen was the first witness.
He said that he was standing in a
crowd listening to band playing,
early Friday evening. He had his
hands in his pocket, one being upon
his pocketbook. Anderson came
along with an overcoat on his arm
aud crowded against him, throwing
the overcoat on Mr.. Thimsen's
shoulder and head so that his hat
nearly fell off. Mr.. Thimsen raised
his hands to catch his hat, and Ander-
son passed on to James j. Weldon, of
this city, whom he took by the hand
and addressed as uncle. Mr.. Thimsen
at once put his hands into his pocket
again and his pocketbook was miss
ing. He and Weldon, who are related,
followed Anderson, and Weldon went
for policeman and got Officer
Daniels. Later, Anderson was found
coming out of saloon and was ar
rested.
Anderson cross-questioned Mr..
Thimsen as to whether other people
did not crowd him, but Mr.. Thimseu
answered in the negative.
Mr.. Weldon testified to about the
same effect as Mr.. Thimsen. When
Anderson took him by the hand and
called him uncle, he took particular
notice Of the man to see whether or
not he knew him, but did not know
him. He was positive that Anderson
was the man who crowded upon Mr..
Thimsen.
Anderson claimed that he was drunk
Friday evening and not in condition
to pick pockets, but did not know
what he had done.
The court bound Anderson over to
the grand jury, in the sum of $500,
and committed him to the county
Jail as he could not furnish bail.
Anderson desired to plead guilty to
the charge Of petit larceny and be
sentenced at once, but Mr.. Thimsen
refucod to copsant to this Iosiripu
the law to take it's course.

would effect but few of the cities, but
eventually 1t may reach firther, and
in Minneapolis case has already
arisen where it is very desirable that
this change should be made.
This bill passed the legislature safe
ly, and 1T is to come up this fail before
the voters of the state. But, you
say, What can l do? have no vote. !"
That is true, but it is also true that
there is much that you can do. When
your husband, or your father, or your
brother comes to vote, if he knows
nothing of this matter, he Is more
than likely to vote against it just be-
cause he does not understand the ne
cessity for this measure, and here is
where your work may come in. Tell
him of it's merits, see that he under
stands; and then see that he votes
for it. The other bill referred to
was the effort to secure an apprO.
priation for State Travelling Libraries,
which has been done with such good
results in other states. The bill
asked the ppropriation Of certain
sum to be placed in the hands Of
responsible but unsalaried commits
sion, for the purchase of books. These
books were to be divided into small
Libraries, OF perhaps fifty books each,
and under certain, simple rules and
restrictions sent to towns applying
for them. After remaining fixed
length of time, this library would be
recalled and if desired, another one
would be sent out, and as the books
would thus go on their rounds, many
people would receive the benefit of
them.

see that Blue Earth county represent

tiop.

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 17.-The Indian
uprising is over. The developments of
the day seem to show this beyond ques-
ton. A council will be held at Black
Duck Point and the Indians wanted by
the marshal will probably surrender at
that time. There may be delay, but
Wednesday is fixed by those in posi-
ton to know as the limit of time that
will be asked by the hostiles before sub
uniting to arrest.
All signs indicate that the Indians are
sincere in their promise to end the war
by submitting. A council was held at
Black Duck Point, at which the situa-
ton was thoroughly discussed. A report
was made to the hostiles of the councils
held at the agency, and after the pro-
tracted discussions usual in such cases,
where the Indians are concerned, it was
decided to submit.
Old Bug Stands Out.
The only hostile who stands out is
Bug, the old man who has been largely
responsible for the trouble. He has not
agreed to surrender and opposes the pol
icy agreed upon. This, however, will
have no effect on the Pillagers. If Bug
declines to abide by the decision of the
council at Black Duck point, they will

selves.
