pared paper on ga Sociological Study
of Israeli" He followed their history
and showed the progress they made
along social and economic lines, and
the growth of their government
fr ON point, where it was each man
for himself, and each doing what he
thought was right in the light Of his
religious teaching, up to where there
was a demand for king. Compare
son was made with points
in their progress with that
of later peoples, showing that
they had many of the same questions
to confront and overcome, that have
puzzled the people of more modern
times. ..

others touching upon several sociolo-
logical points. "

SHE LEFT HOME.
Mrs. Theodore HOltz Takes
Children and Goods.
Her Husband Comes Home from His
Work to Find His House Empty,
But Tracks His Wife.

Theodore Holtz came home from
his work Tuesday to find his wife
and children gone and no trace of his
household goods. His house was as
bare and cherries as Dakota prairie
in winter. Roltz is employed at the
gas works and his hours Of labor are
from noon to midnight. AS usual, his
wife sent him his supper at six o'clock
Monday, and he was entirely IN
prepared for the surprise that awaited
him on his arrival home at few mo-
ments after midnight.
HoItz went to the city hall and noti-
fed Officer Bienapfi Of the state of his
domestic affairs. The officer accom-
panied him to his house, 9O2 North
Fifth street, and an investigation
proved that wagon had been driven
I'D to the house. Like Indian scouts,
they followed the track until it
ended at the house of Joseph Riechel,
on the prairie north of the city.
There Mrs. Holtz and the two child
rem and the household goods were
found, but Holtz was given the mar
BILE heart. He obtained no saJisfact-
ion whatever and left with a heavy
heart. Mrs. Reichel and Mrs. Holtz
are cousins, ........ .
Wedr. ~ uHoltz again called al
the Rerrn, house, accompanied by
Attorn. Evan Hughes, to whom he
had "rI,Ided his tale of woe. Mrs.
Hoi' VAS not there, but Holtz took
his lice year old child. He then
went to the school that his eleven
year old offspring was attending, and
took this one also. He has written
to his parents, who are well-to-do res
idents of Winona, to come and help
him get his household established
again. ..an,t -.. .. e .T'.
Holtz, when seen by a Free Press
reporter, had the smell of gas upon
his coat, indicating that it had been
hung in the gas works long enough to
absorb goouIy quantity. He in.
tends to take steps to take possession
of his household goods, as he says
they were paid fer from. his earnings.
In regard to his family affairs he had
this to say: 81, .'.H ~.
my wife and 1 have had some lit.
tie trouble, due to a man who has
been hanging around. She seems tC
be infatuated with him. Against
my desire, she went to the masquar'
ade bali at Union hall with him 4.
first of the week, and have been r'',':
that she did not conduct herself dc
L;screetly asshe might while there.
] wanted to send the fellow away
some time ago, but my wife said that
if he went she would 60 also. Re-
ports have come to me about their
actions, but owing the children 1 have
stood it all. This is not the frs t
time that my wife has gone away in a
similar manner. -Four or five years
! ago she went away Unexpectedly, 60
ing to Duluth" =. t..
Holtz has lived in Mankato for the
past eight years and is known as a
hardwofking man. =. -

FROM CALIFORNIA.
Rev. Stafford Writes EetertainingIy Of
His Trip West.

We left Mankato for the land of the
land of the sunset and the city of the
angels-Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 18th,
on the Minneapolis and st. Louis
road by what is known as the SOUTH
ern route. We found the tourist car
clean and comfortable. the service
good and the passengers very agree
able. 1t was in every respect as repre-
sented by Agent Barr.
When we left Waterville the wea-
ther was like spring time and our
friends along the line wondered why
we should seek better climate. A
little south of Albert Lea we found
cold weather and good sleighing.
The further we journeyed south the
more disagreeable the weather. When
we reached Kansas City it was snow
ing and raining and was very chilly
and disagreeable. 1t was almost a
Kansas blizzard and extended as far
west as Arizona. We began to feel
tn at we had made a mistake in leav-
ing our bright, sunny Minnesota, for
we did not see the sun after we left
A Inert Lea until we reached Fit.
Worth, Texas. There the weather
W as warm and balmy.
Fit. Worth is city of about 10000,
a railroad center, distributing
point and it's manufacturing and
commercial interests are growing.
The people seem proud in their city
and were loud in it's praise. This is
the habit of the people of Texas, they
are loyal to their state and when they
an boast of nothing else they boast
of it's size,
We reached Ell Paso on the border
of New Mexico four hours
late, which deprived US of visiting an
old church in Mexico. Ell Paso is a
city of about $4,000 and seems to be
growing. 1t is the trading place for
a large region of country. 1t has a
| fine court house, custom house and a
number of churches and schools. The
inhabitants are mixed class, Indians
and Mexicans are quite numerous.
The country between Ell Paso and
California is not very fascinating,
mostly desert.
+ We arrived at Los Angeles Satur-
day evening on time to the minute,
and without any serious mishap. Our
friend, DR.. D. w. Edwards, formerly
Of LeSueur, later of Minneapolis, and
now presid mt of the Ministerial Life
Insurance Company, of this city, met
us and made us welcome. We found
a land of sunshine, fruits and flowers.
January, and the store doors and win.
dows open, people sitting on their
porches as we do in June, orange and
lemon trees loaded with fruit and the
roses blooming. 1t seems very strange
and beautiful to a Mime sutian. This
| is the Italy of America. >-
We have met many Minnesotians
and quite number from Mankato.
We reached Ontario the morning Mrs.
81 awes died. attended the funeral
the next day. The people were very
kind and did all they could for the
doctor. He is sorely afflicted and de-
serves the sympathy of his towns
men, which 1 know he will receive.
When our visit is made we shall be
glad to turn our faces toward the best
state in the union, Minnesota, and
one of the finest cities in the state,

WILL HE BE?
Some Talk of H. H. Edwards for the
T., legislature.


A good many friends in Mankato
are talking Hugh 81. Edwards, of
Judson, for the legislature. The
Free Press has no information from
Mr.. Edwards whether he contem-
plates becoming a candidate or not,
but if he shall so decide, he will have
a good many warm supporters in this
city as indeed he will throughout the
county. Hugh is we'll known, made
one Of the best working members the
board Of county commissioners ever
had, and would make a valuable
member of the state legislature. Mr..
Edwards will probably give the public
information on the matter of his
candidacy little later on.

BOYS PAY FINES.
The Stone Throwers in Court This
Afternoon ~

F. Cain and B. MCGEE were before
Judge Shissler Wednesday, |: charged
with throwing stones against @. j..
Anderson's house, on North Sixth
street. They had first entered plea
of not guilty, but subsequently,
changed it to guilty. Judge Shissler
gave them strong talk. in regard to
their conduct and the rights of prop
erty, and on their promise not to
repeat the offense assessed the low
fine OF S6.65 against each. The money
was paid and the boys were discharg-
ed. They gave the names of four
other boys who belong TO The gang, and
they are also to be brought in. Cain
and MCGEE are about IS years old.

prices as for high grade dairy pro-
ducts.
9th. Dairying tends to morality.
You will always find the man on the
dairy farm, who is successful in that
branch, more careful, humane, kind
and gentle, for the simple reason that
these elements pay in that line.
10Th. In no other branch Of farm
ing has there been the amount Of in
vestigation ana scientific research and
progress made as in dairying. The
BabcoCk test, Inc information and IA
cilities for getting bet results have
developed very rapidly within the last
twenty five Years.
llth. No other product on the
farm has held as steady in price for a
series of years. As an illustration OF
this fact We quote the prices made on
the Elgin Board of Trade for the first
week in June, 1890. to 1898 inclusive
1890, l34c to lac; 1891, l7c to lSc
1892, tic to l74c; 1898, 1916 to l9c
1894. 16tc; 1895, l74c; 1896, l54c
1897, l44c; 1898, l54c.
18th. There is little fear of over
production of the finest and best of
dairy products. AS the supply in
creAses the demand increases, and
even faster. Had it not been for the
development of the Oleo industry
within the last ten years, the supply
would have been far below the de-
mand.
Civilization and dairYing go hand
in hand, and from the oldest records
that we have these facts are proven
The higher the civilization the more
enlightened, the larger and more ex
tended is the use of high grade dairy
products.
With these facts before the people

Some Of the Advantages Of Dairy
ing.

In discussing the various phases of
the dairy industry, it will be well for
ne to get down to definite, positive,
concise statements; something that
the ordinary man can remember with
out any extraneous matter, and have
therefore taken up this subject and
made some special features as some
of the reasons why dairying is desir-
able in connection not only with gen
eral farming, but as a speciality for
itself.
LIST. The first advantage of dairy
ing 10 that it takes less fertility from
the soil than otter branches of agri-
culture Authorities differ, but the
following figures are approximately
correct, round numbers only being
given. A ton of each product men
toned takes fertiliziug matter from
the soil as indicated by the figures
below:

RESOLUTIONS
ADOPTED BY STATE CONVENTION
OF Kentucky Tobacco Growers
at Lexington.
That Place to Be Made Aeadquar,
tiers for State League.

The convention which met at Lex
ingtOn last week adopted the follow
ing:
"Whereas, The farmers of Ken
lucky, who produce one-haIf of the
tobacco of this country, have learned
with dismay that gigantic trust has
been formed for the purpose OF con-
trolling the price of every pound
of tobacco raised in the United
States and,
"Whereas, Prompt and vigorous
action is necessary to prevent or dis
solve this unlawful and monstrous Or
ganizstion therefore be it,
Resolved by the tobacco growers in
convention assembled: l. That an
organization of the tobacco farmers OF
the State Of Kentucky is necessary TO
protect our interests. 2. That the or
ganization this day formed be made
permanent 3. That a committee OF
three be appointed to wait upon the
Attorney General Of this state and
urge him to briug appropriate action
to dissolve or injOin said trust, and
that said committee be empowered t.
employ associate counsel if necessary.
4 That a committee of five inetlli-
gent, conservative and practical to-
baCcO farmers be appointed by the
Chair as q Board of Directors, OF
which tho Chairman and Secretary
will be ex-officio members, whose
duty it will be to draft rules and reg
ulations for the government Of an as.

other places named by the Chairman
6. That owing to the condition of the
tobacco market it is the sense of THU

OF fodder and crops grown on the farm
into dairy products and send them to
the market in compact and portable
form.
3rd. Butter is finished product.
1t is ready for the consumers, and the
only finished product at the present
time that is generally made on the
farm, All other farm products are
finished after leaving the farm.
4th. Dairyiny brings a constant
and regular income. Other branches
of farming have their time for selling
when the returns are received in a
lump. The farmer generally spends
the same way, and for a large
portion of the year is obliged to live
on credit. .
9th. Dairying furnishes constant
aud profitable employment at all
times, as the stock requires care all
the year round.
9th. This uniformity of work at
all periods of the year enables the
dsiryman to do better and more sue
cessful work in his special line.
7th. There is no branch of farm
ing in which skill and science and
good work pay as well as in dairying.
To produce the best of dairy products
requires brains as well as Drawn.
9Th. The opportunities for success
in this line are unlimited. There Ia
always room at the top, and for nc
other product on the farm is the gen.
eral public willing to pay as good

1t has been held that consumption
is hereditary, and the fact that one
person of a family had died with
consumption was considered a sure
sign that others of the family could
not escape it. This is partly true and
partly untrue. A man with weak
lungs is likely to transmit that weak
ness to his children. But there is no
reason in the world why the weak
ness should be allowed to develop.
Keep the lungs full of rich, red.
wholesome blood, and the weakness
will disappear. Decaying tissues will
be thrown off, and new material will
be added until the lungs are well and
perfectly strong again. This is the
thing that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery does, This is what
makes il cure 90 per cent. of all cases
of consumption where it is taken &C.
cording to directions. 1t searches
out disease germs wherever they may
be in the body and forces them out of
the system. 1t supplies the blood
with rich, life-giving properties. 1t
makes the appetite good, digestion
perfect. Send Il cents in one-cen

A ton of wheat takes $500 out of
the farm and sells for less than $1,000 !;
q ton of butter takes SOC worth of
good from the farm and sells for from
$500 to 5000 Comment is needless.
End. Butter is a condensed pro-
duct. Nothing can be made on the
farm which brings as much per
pound. DairYmen can condense tons
