COMPLAINTS MADE.
A Shirt Agent Whose Profits are Said to
be Large,

An agent has been taking orders in
the city for shirts, and has been doing
a rushing business with those that have
silk bosoms. charging from 1926 to So
each for them, it is said, He repre-
sented that they are made by Chi
cago house which is just starting in
business, and that for the purpose of
Introducing the goods reduced price
is made. Since the delivery of the
shirts has begun there have been COM
plants that the goods are not we'll
made, and that instead of being made
in Chicago they are IN reality made up
in Mankato. 1t is said that one or
more ladies are hired to make over the
shirts. The latter are bought by the
agent by the gross of local clothing
store, and the seamstresses change the
bosoms and cut down the sleeves to fit
the requirements The shirts cost 75
cents each and the silk bosoms 25 cents,
it is said, and these are then sold at the
fancy prices.
The above are complaints that have
been made to County Attorney Hughes.
The latter has not acted yet, but has
the matter under advisement. In the
meantime it might be well for our peo-
pie to patronize our home merchants
and know what they are getting.

After the Match He Challenges the
World Farmer Burns Had Already
Challenged the Winner.

The biggest sporting event that was
ever pulled off in Mankato was the
wrestling match Thursday at the opera
house between Marad Ali, the Terrible
Turk, and John J. Rooney, the giant
gripman of Chicago. 1t resulted in the
defeat of the Turk in four bouts,
Rooney winning three of them.
Rooney at once challenged the world,
and will defend the title which he now
claims of the worlds champion against
all comers.
Very few high priced seats were
taken, but the remainder of the house
was we'll filled. The Mankato Athletic
club, under whose auspices the match
was held, received twenty per cent OF
the receipts and the winner of the
match the other eighty per cent, the

good, clean one as far as he was con-
cerned. The rules of the Turks allow
ed rough work hut he would rather
lose match than break a leg or an
arm. If this Turk was willing to
wrestle without so much roughness, he
would try to show that the American
is the equal if not the superior of any
other nation in the wrestling game.
The first bout began at 9:20 o'clock,
and before it was half over the Turk
had the forbidden strangle hold on
Rooney's throat. When the referee
detected this he made the Turk desist.
The Turk won the bout in 17:43, hav-
ing exhausted Rooney's strength until
both shoulders were firmly spressed
down to the mat and held there beyond
any question.
Before the second bout began, Mr..
Reynolds announced that Farmer
Burns was in the city and would chal-
lenge the winner, the match to come
off within week in Mankato under
exactly the same auspices and condi
tions as the one taking place, including
rules. purse and side bet.
Mr.. Rooney announced that whether
he won the match with the Turk OF
not, he would wrestle the farmer, but
he could not be here in week, He
would wrestle him in six weeks, how
ever, for 81, 900.
The second bout started at $50 p. m.
and was won by Rooney in 7:55. 1t
was so near roll that Mr.. Charleson
entered protest with the referee that
there were not two points down within
the meaning of the rules.
| Thos. Rooney announced that if the
Turk protested the fall, his brother
would wrestle it over again The
referee stood by his decision, and the
match went on without further jar

In the third bout the referee found ii
necessary to break the men apart once
The bout was commenced at 1910 p.
m. and was won by Rooney in 9:54.
| The fourth and last bout was com.
menced at 1926 p. M. and was won by
Rooney in 14:54 The result was re-
ceived with deafening applause, and
Rooney's friends crowded around him
to extend congratulations
While the time given for each bout
is as officially announced. it was really
several minutes shorter in each case.
Keoney requested the announces
ment to be made that he challenged
any man in the world to a wrestling
match.
Rooney's father-in-law, Thos. Nc
Garry, occupied seat on the stage and
watched the match with great interest.
Many of his old time friends of this city
and county were in the audience, and
bis success created unbounded enthu-
siasm.

tion was clean one in every respect
and was one that could haye been wit
messed by any lady. The club is to be
congratulated upon the management OF
the affair, and also upon the success of
it's first attempt in this line.
J. E. Reynolds was master of cere-
monies and made the announcements
from time to time.
The preliminary bouts between
Ernest Schumacher and Mart Murray
were lively Snd interesting, and both
young men showed that they possessed
much science as well as pluck and
quickness of movement. Their work
was very clever. Jack Hopkins, of Chi
cago, who is Rooney's manager, acted
as referee. Mr.. Murray won the first
bout, both shoulders pinned down, in
one minute, Mr.. Schumacher the Sec
ond bout in two minutes, and Mr.. Muir.

next, for a purse of $400 and side bet
of $500. so it was announced. 81. @.
Gerlach was referee and Tony Kieffer
was time keeper for Mr.. Rooney, Geo.
Traub for the Turk. and Ed. Schu-
macher was the official time keeper. A
rest of fifteen minutes between each
bout was allowed.
The mat upon which the wrestling
occurred was eighteen feet square, and
was roped off in the center of the stage,
no one being allowed inside except the
contestants and referee. Rooney was
attended by his manager, Mr.. Hopkins,
and by his brother, Thomas. The
Turks interests were looked after by
his manager, Mr. Charleson. Bets of
SO and $50 on Rooney were offered by
persons in the audience, with no takers,
and just before the first bout, Mr.. Hop
kins stepped to the front of the stage
and offered to wager $50 on Rooney, but
thereuwas no response, except that
some one sang out "Shut up" which
was followed by a good deal of ap-
plause.
When the two wrestlers had entered
the ring, shaken hands and retired to
their respective corners there was a
chance for comparison of the mems
build. Rooney was perfect specimen
of vigorous manhood, deep chested,
and with great muscles standing out.
The Turk was tlifie taller, but did
not look to be any heavier. He did not
have as robust an appearance as his an
tagonist, and was not as sprightly. He
seemed to be more willowy than
Rooney. but on the whole the two men
were apparently about equally match
ed. Rooney was by all odds the favor
ite with the audience, as was shown by
the cordial reception which he received
on his first appearance and by the ap-
plause which followed any success
which he had over the Turk and every
escape which he made from the Turks
clutches
Just before the first bout, Rooney
turned to the audience and said that he
intended that the contest should be a

-e President of the Great Western
Road Says That Surveys are Now
Being Made.

AS previously stated by the Free
Press, the visit of Chief Engineer Fern
strom, of the Chicago Great Western
road, to Mankato last week had more
in view than the mere locating of a
coal dock, as was given out by him at
the time. His disappearance from the
city could not be accounted for in any
other way than that he was locating an
extension of the line westward from
this city. and this conclusion is now
confirmed by Vice President Kalman,
of the Chicago Great Western, who
says that the road has the definite pur-
pose of extending the Cannon Valley
line beyond Mankato. He talks to
New York newspaper man as follows:
I'VE are earning per cent on the
debenture A bonds and 2 per cent on
the B. Whether we will begin paying
anything ON the latter shortly l cannot
say. I would be in favor of putting
the money at this time into better
ments. We are improving the pro-
perty extensively and adding to our
mileage. The Cannon Valley line was
a valuable acquisition. We intend to
extend it. With this object, surveys
are now being made out of Mankato.
Our business is all we can take care of,
and, like other lines in that section, we
need more cars"
Plans which are being made for the
construction of the Duluth, Glencoe &
Southwestern line, giving north and
south road from St. Cloud to Mankato,
are arousing considerable interest in
railroad circles. Considerable specula-
tion is rife concerning the influence of
the new line when constructed. Yes
terday's Minneapolis Times has this to
say in regard to the matter:
1t was intimated yesterday by an of
fetal of the Great Western that that
line would haye considerable interest in
the construction of the new road, since
one of its terminals will be located on
the Cannon Valley branch, giving con-
nections into one of the best farming
districts of the state. It is not thought
by the majority of st. Paul railroad
men that the line will be completed
into Duluth. but it is regarded as prob
able that the company which is now
being organized will extend from Man
kato to st. Cloud, after which it is safe
to say that the line would be absorbed
by one of the larger systems and used
as branch.

THE CREAMERY AT KERNS.

While the older parts of the state
have, for years, been making money
| from their creameries, it is compara-
lively new business in this section;
especially is this so in Nicollet county.
Four years ago few of us had ever seen
a creamery. now a successful plant is
found in nearly every township in the
county.
Oak Lawn creamery, situated in Bel
grade township, a short distance from
Mankato, perhaps receives more praise
from those skilled in the business, who
visit it, than any other in this part of
the state. For location, drainage, equip
ment, and everything that goes to make
first-class creamery, it cannot be ex-
celled. Situated in location famed for
its meadows, patronized by wealthy
progressive farmers who have fine dairy
herds and plenty of means to indulge
their fancy in that direction still more,
it was an assured success from the start.
Established on the co operative plan
one year ago last spring, no expense of
money or work was spared to. make it
what it was designed to be-a model
creamery.
| Improvements on the premises have
been going on to the present time, it
having recently been in the hands of
Williams Bros, painters, who did a
first. class job.
Those who planned and built the
plant were men acquainted with the
business. Other creameries were visit
ed by them, and their best points were
incorporated in this one.
The management consists of a presi-
dent, secretary, treasurer and a board
of directors, all' elected at the annual
meeting. The buttermaker is employ
ed by this board. They also manage
the entire business in all its details. At
their monthly meeting all correspond
ence and reports are read to them.
Every item of expense and receipt is
considered and passed upon, and plans
laid for the future to best serve the in.
terests of the patrons.
During the past summer, the board
has been enabled, through the support
and cooperation of its patrons, to very
greatly improve and simplify the finan
cial plan, so as to cut off unnecessary
expense, thereby adding to the patrons
receipts, also placing the association on
such footing that the entire plant is
owned by the patrons.
The management eongratulates itself
on it's good fortune in securing its pres
ent butter maker. Mr.. John McCargar,
who is not only young man of sterl-
ing qualities, but one no receives high
scores where fine creamery butter is
tested. His butter was in the front
rank of extras at'the Owatonna Dairy
mems convention last month, he receiv-
ing cash premium.

MAKING BRAINS
Is Now an Accomplished
Fact.
AN ART OF THE FooDMAKER
New and Sturdy Brains to Order.

There certainly is money to be made.
and every day, in good-sized quantities,
in this busy world.
But the opportunities are seen and
the work done by men with good brains.
1t is brains, and not so much muscle,
that gets man to the front. Now,
then, for a conclusion.
You use your thinking machinery
every day and break down slight
portions of it. CA thoroughly natural
proceSS)
We know from analysis just what it
is that leaves the brain under press of
work, and that little element should be
replaced each day from food. Often
the food does not supply it as rapidly
as the daily work uses it. Then we
have brain fag, nervous prostration,
etc Would you goad the tired and
underfed OK with a stimulant to force
it to desperate and unnatural eXertion,
TO be followed by total collapse?
Call in your common sense. When
you find this condition exists, select a
food heavy in Natures Phosphate of
Potash and Albumen, that combine to
make and rebuild the gray matter Of
the brain. These are not drugs, but the
delicate preparations nature stores
in parts of her cereals and intends for
mans use.
A food expert has dug out these facts,
and when one uses Grape-Nuts, the
most skillfully made food now in ex-
istence, he or she takes advantage of
the knowledge, and certainly can and
does rebuild brain in manner that is
unmistakeable and most satisfactory.
If you have use for active planning
and successful money-making brains,
build them and nourish them with the
lelicinus food Grape-Nuts.
