OUR NEIGHBORS MISTAKEN.

Window is advertising big Wood
men picnic for June 10Th, and the
Watonwan County Advocate of But
terfeld, says: THAT the picnic will
be big success is a certainty, notwith-
standing the Mankato lodge contrived
to change the date of its picnic to day
or two before the Window picnic, and
is displaying an I'm. neighborly spirit by
advertising itself as the Southwestern
Minnesota Picnic Association when
that is Windows right only"
The Mankato camp set only one date
and that was June 18th, and there has
been no changing. The picnic here,
however, is not a local affair but was
arranged for and is under the auspices
of picnic committee representing the
lodges of Southern Minnesota. The
Mankato picnic will be big enough for
all, and everybody is coming, which is
what bothers the Bntterfeld paper

The time fable Of the Chicago Great

The time table of the Chicago Great
Western, which was published in our
local columns yesterday to go into effect
on the Cannon Valley division of that
road on June 1st, indicates that the
management of that road intend to
give the people along its line splendid
service, in fact as good as is given by
any first class road. The new time
table will be especially advantageous to
Mankato The train going out in the
morning will return in the evening
giving those wishing to transact bust
ness along the line or in the twin cities
the full day. The train which arrives
here just before noon and leaves late in
the afternoon will be most satisfactory
to our business men and also to the peo-
pie up the line, as it will allow them
between four and five hours in the city
for business purposes. This improved
service and faster time will make it
desirable route for the twin cities, and
if the new management can be induced
to move the depot up nearer the cen trail
part of the city, we see no reason why
the Cannon Valley line should not han
die its share of the passenger and freight
traffic of Mankato. The management
is certainly entitled to the thanks of our
business men and citizens generally for
the good start it has made in the hand
ling of its new property.

SLIPPED AWAY.
Young TroutmiIler Escapes From
The Jail.
Being Permitted TO Work Around the
Jail Yard, He Takes Advantage
of an 0ppor unity.

Fred Troutmiller, the fifteen year old
boy who was bound over to the grand
jury about month ago on the charge
OF grand larceny in the second degree,
for having stolen articles from Philip j.
Jenkins, of Cambria, and who has been
confined in the county Jail, made his
escape yesterday. The boy has not
been well, and at the request of a party
who knew him, Sheriff Gerlich allowed
him to go out and work around the Jail
yard under supervision. He was let
out again yesterday morning, Deputy
Sheriff Stevens keeping an eye on him.
Some parties called at the Jail and de-
sired to be shown through it, and Mr..
Stevens left Troutmiller and ac-
companied the people through the Jail.
When the deputy sheriff returned, the
boy was not in sight. A bag piper with
a monkey was entertaining crowd of
boys down the street. and Mr.. Stevens,
supposing that Troutmiller had been
attracted there, walked leisurely to the
crowd. Not finding the boy, he realiz
ed that the latter had made his escape.
Search was Immediately begun and the
adjacent territory was secured but no
trace of the boy could be secured.
The jail officials believe that the boy
was put up to escape by other prisoners,
and told where to conceal himself. He
weighs about hundred pounds, and
his head is shaved He wears
blue overalls and a black SLOUGH
hat without a band The escape
was made at about nine o'clock in the
forenoon. Having taken advantage of
the kindness shown him by the sheriff,
he is not likely to receive any more
favors if caught.

ARE INVESTIGATING.
Serious Charge Against St. Peter
Hospital Attendants.
Sons of Robert HarliD, of This City, Claim
Their Father Was IIitreated..The
Case to be Considered.

A special dispatch from st. Peter to
the ST Paul Globe says:
For the second time within year
the st Peter hospital for the insane is
under cloud A serious charge was
preferred yesterday, at the meeting of
the board of trustees held at the Ryan
hotel, against the hospital authorities
by Robert Harlin, of Mankato
"Mr. Harlin was taken to the hos
pital couple of weeks ago, and last
Thursday his son George called at the
hospital, and found his father in pre-
carious condition. An examination
disclosed three broken ribs, the COM
plant alleges, and cruel bruises about
the body.
The bruises were such as TO indicate
that they were made by heel of boot
and were very painful.
The injuries are result of an en-
counter with one of the attendants,
the complaint says. According to the
story of Harlin Sr. he told one of
the attendants that the patient on
the cot next TO him had
died during the night. and he
said that the man on the other side of
him apparently had but a short time to
live. The attendant rejoined by saying
that if Har!in did not keep quiet he,
too, would be dead soon An argument
ensued, and the attendant jumped up,
on him with both his feet, breaking his
ribs. The two sons of Harlin ST., of
Mankato, have gone to st. Peter, and
are investigating the matter
THE board took the matter up in
executive session, and Gov. Lind was
invited to be present, and met with the
trustees late in the afternoon. He was
seen later in the evening, and expressed
himself in no uncertain terms.
cit is a matter that should be
thoroughly investigated, and [ am sure
that it will be done. Further than
that | have nothing to say until the
matter has been fathomed by the
board, said the governor. 49,
DIR. A. w. Daniels, resident trustee
of the st Peter hospital, stated that he
had been away from home for a few
days, and had heard nothing of the af-
fair"

THE STEP IN CURRENCY REFORM

IHE SIEP In W RRENC4 REF ORM
A Washington dispatch says it is gen.
orally understood that the house Re-
publican caucus committee, appointed
to consider the question of currency re-
form, has decided upon measure en-
bracing the following points:
The redemption of all obligations of
the government in gold on demand
Greenbacks, when once redeemed for
gold, to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks to issue
notes to the par value of their govern
ment bonds deposited in the treasury
instead of 80 per cent. as at present.
Permitting the minimum capital of
nation banks to be $25, 900, instead of
$50, 900.
This is a much less comprehensive
plan then many advocates of currency
reform advocate, but practically en-
braces the ideas put forth by the presi-
dent and is a plan which will secure the
united action of the Republicans. There
is no question but that it will place the
country firmly upon the gold standard
and will do much to educate the people
along lines of further reform. 1t is
held by some that the section making
the minimum of capital for the or
ganization of national bank $25, 900 in
stead of $50, 900 will effect wider and
more even distribution of money and
so tend to equalize the rates OF in
terest, as it will allow of the or
ganization of such banks in the
smaller towns where it is now impos-
sible, and so not only have tendency
to do away with the natural prejudice
against national banks, but cause a
more general circulation of bank cur
rency when it is not needed, and at the
same time help to lessen the opposition
to the retirement of the greenback and
the taking of the government out of
the banking business, as it should be.
The so-called endless chain made by
redemption and subsequent reissue OF
the greenbacks, is broken to certain
extent at least, by the section which
provides that they shall be re-issued
only for gold The plan of the caucus
committee, so far as it goes, is along
the lines pursued by the plans hitherto
put forth, especially by Congressman
McCleary and will help educate the
people up to that standard which the
nation in time ought to attain,
