Fred Troutmiller, the boy was wanted
for breaking into Phillip j. Jenkins
house in Cambria, was brought to the

to Mr.. Jenkins house, knowing that
Mr.. Jenkins was at Mr.. Davis. He got
into Mr.. Jenkins house through win
dow and slept in the bed there that
night and helped himself to the eat
ables. He noticed that 'Mr. Jenkins
shoes were better than the ones he
was wearing, so he exchanged them,
and also took Mr.. Jenkins cuff and
collar buttons. Then he rode back to
New Ulm and was arrested, The re-
volver he said that he earned from Mr..
Davis. who promised him it and $50 in
money if he would would work until

month.
Troutmiller was taken before Judge
Shissler and waived an examination
and was bound over to the grand jury.
He was committed to Jail, as he did not
have 500 bail.

THIS IS AWFUL.

The fusion crowd have new calamity
wall to harp on now. For the past half
dozen years or more they ahave been
shedding tears over the hard fate of the
farmer, and how he was ground down
by the weight of sthe goldlstandard
which was working only:in favor of the
banks. But we notice by.a letter sent
out by the reform bureau, and which
was published in our contemporary last
evening, somehow or other the gold
standard has shifted sits heavy hand,
which now rests not upon the farmer
but upon the banks, and they are now
being ground under thei;tyrant's grasp,
while the poor down trodden farmer
smiles with plenty. peace and pros
perity and borrows from the Money
Devil no longer, but has become a
Money Devil himself and lends to hi
neighbor, that is if his. neighbor should
happen to wish to go into some enter,
prise and not have Sufficient means,
and the bank is thus shut out of its
legitimate chance of making a living,
Just how the farmer happen ed
to jump from his alleged down trodden
condition to that.of an active factor of
the Money Devil is not explained in the
reform press bureau letter, but doubt
less he has been touched by the magic
wand of the Money Devil some time
when the banker swas. taking"a nap,
hence the awful transformation.

NO SIDEWALK RIDING.
Bicyclists Must Use the Streets or Pay
Fines.

Mayor Currier instructed Chief
Bruels today to enforce the ordinance
in regard to bicycle riding on the side
walks. The mayor says that the streets
are now in good condition and that
there is no excuse for any bicyclist rid
ing on any of the sidewalks of the city.
In this order the mayor will be up
held by the citizens generally, as the
sidewalks are no place for bicycle rid
ing. After two or three riders have
paid fines, there will be very few violat-
ers of the ordinance.

Why not buy land for yourself? It

you are now.
The average rent of farm land is So so
per acre per year. The average price
of land in Central Minnesota is $500
per acre. Two years rent would buy
the land outright.

the subject of the troops being brought to

Il have considered It unwise to bring

q state health officer. with an assistant
at the quarantine station here. and the
United States government has supervision
over all marine quarantine. | believe that
at this season OF the year any iuterfer-
ence on the part OF municipal officer

masses. and question very much whether
any attention would be paid to it.
But, leaving out my position as health
officer and simply speaking from the
standpoint OF a physician and citizen.

landed at Montauk Point or Savannah or
some other place outside of Texas"
~
The objections urged against bringing
these troops from Cuba at this season Of
'he year directly to Texas are based purely
upon sanitary grounds. The danger rests
in the importation of infectious germs
into this State at season of the year

favorable to their propagation.
