COMPLAINED TO MAYOR.
Karl Born Wants to Get Back at Police
Officer.

Karl Born was arrested Friday by
Officer Beinapf on the charge of
drunkenness. Born was very anita
gonistic and the officer was obliged to
use his club. Even then it was inn
possible to get him to the station with
out the assistance of Officer Thilgen and
Mr. Bienapf's brother. In the police
court this morning, Born pleaded guilty
to charge of disorderly conduct and
paid>a fine of So Co.
That afternoon, Born and several
friends called on Mayor Cnrrier, ex-
hibited bunch on his head, and COM
planned that Officer Bienapf had used
too much force in making the arrest.
He wanted the officer discharged
Mayor Currier listened to the COM
plant and said that he would look in
to the matter. The other officers say
that Mr.. Bienapf did not use more
force than the occasion required, as
he had difficult case to deal with
Born also called on County Attorney
Hughes and wanted a warrant for Off
Ger Bienapf's arrest. Mr.. Hughes pro-
missed to investigate the matter.

A FINE POINT.

A new point has been raised under
the bankruptcy law in the case of
.Teslow & Haugen, bankrupts, of
Brycelin. Wyman. Partridge Co. sold
them goods to the value of 81, 800 and
were paid $400 to $500 shortly before
the failure, not knowing that the firm
was insolvent. A. E. Clark, attorney
for the trustee, is seeking to recover
this payment, and takes the ground
that a payment within four months
previous to the failure is a preference
whether the payee knew of the insol-
vency or not. Under the old law, if
the payee did not know of the insol-
vency the payment could not be recov-
cred. Referee Flittie is wrestling with
the question, and it will go before
Judge Lochren and the United States
court of appeals in all probability.

NO THIRSTY NECKS.
All Are Moistened by the New
Brewery's Beer.
Formal Opening of the Big Plant of the
Standard Brewing Company
of Mankat0.

The Standard Brewing Co. had its
formal opening Friday, and received
the public in a most hospitable man
ner this afternoon At 3 80 O. clock it
was estimated that thousand people
were on the grounds, partaking of the
excellent lunch and inspecting the
big buildings. The lunch is an elab-
crate spread and is being served in the
machine house. The visitors are not
allowed to go away dry, but with a
taste of the company's excellent beer
in their mouths.
A parade of the company's teams
and vehicles was had this afternoon
on Front street, and made an impos-
ing spectacle. The Grand Army band
led the way and dispensed sweet
music. The reception and free lunch
lasted until eight O'Clock that eve
ming, and there was jam
after supper The company's beer is
now on sale and is pronounced first
class by good judges.
The Standard Brewing Co. is q
strong one and it has a plant second tc
none in up to date machinery and ap-
planes. The quality of the article
turned out will continue to improve
under the able supervision of the
brew master, Richard Sippel. The
capacity of the plant is %, 600 barrels 6
year, and three kinds of bottled beer
will be manufactured
Mankato wishes this new enterprise
success. 1t is giving employment tc
number of people, and the product
will be sold over wide territory.

HEATED SPELL BROKEN.
Longest Term on Record Drawing to a
Close.

Friday morning the area of low
barometer that has for some ten days
fingered over the Dakotas, showed
slight evidences of change and began to
move eastward. So the continued
heated term it is expected will be
broken by tonight or tomorrow morn
ing.
The thermometer recorded 80 Thurs
day, which is in line with the weather
for the last few days. This is the
longest heated term that has ever been
recorded by the weather bureau in st.
Paul. For ten days the thermometer
has varied 80 to SO degrees, and the
great humidity of the air made it seem
worse than it really was
To prove that cooler weather is ap-
preaching, a fall in the temperature
has occurred all over the far northwest.
While the mercury was Sc at st. Paul
at eight O'Clock last evening, it was

ANTI-LOAFING ORDINANCE.
This and a Curfew Ordinance Among
the Possibilities.

A large number of business men
have signed the following petition
to the council:
"We petition your honorable body to
cause to be enacted an ordinance rela-
tive to and prohibiting the habit of
loafing adjacent to buildings and es-
pecially the vicious and solvenly habit
OF splitting upon the sidewalks of the
city of Mankato, much to annoyance
OF property owners and pedestrians of
said city.
1T seems that it has become the
habit of large number of persons
who have nothing else to do but loaf
to congregate upon the sidewalks in
certain business blocks and spit tobac-
CO juice upon the sidewalks and upon
the entrances to places of business, as
we'll as make uncalled for remarks
with reference to passersby, especially
ladies', which is very annoying and
should be stopped, hence we petition
yEiur honorable body to enact an ordi-
nsnce prohibiting and placing severe
penalty for such conduct. ?
This move has met with very general
commentator and the council should
not hesitate to pass such an ordinance
There is much talk in the lower
wards in favor of a curfew ordinance,
requiring young boys and girls to be
at home not later than 8 p. m.

good Judgment, on examining sam
pie of the so-called No 1 wheat,
pronounced it No. 8. Mr.. Oyer, of
course, judged alone from the size of
the berry and shrinkage This def
cheney, however may be made up in
the weight, and thus possibly bring it
up to No. 2, as the grain is sail to be
very heavy this year.
Our correspondent further says
That Geo. Sellers threshed a field of
wheat on his place which yielded %
bushels to the acre, but that his whole
crop turned out only Is bushels to the
acre. He had 225 acres in crop from
which he secured 3, 800 bushels. Mark
Pierce who has completed threshing,
securing an average yield of 80 bushels
of succotash to the acre. The barley
yield was 81 bushels to the acre. Fred
Tesch threshed 25 bushels to the acre
and the remaining area in wheat turn
ed out from Is to Is bushels to the
acre. A load from the field that went
% bushels was sold for No. l. Oats
went 81 bushels E. Nagel says that
his wheat yield was less than Is
bushels to the acre taking the whole
field into consideration, but his oats,
however, were much better, being
good 40 bushels to the acre Perhaps
the best general yield so far threshed,
considering the acreage, was that
threshed for the Tillman Bros, 1900
bushels being secured from 1875 acre
tract, or trifie less than 81 bushels
per acre. Their oats averaged little
more than 40 bushels to the acre The
flax crop was rather light, and turned
out only about 7 bushels to the acre.
The boys are splendid farmers and
invariably out bushel all the rest of us.

CROPS in BEAUFORT.
Very Good Yield are Being Reported from
There.

The Mapleton Enterprise says: Our
Beauford correspondent, who has spent
considerable time the past week to Sc
cure an accurate report from that
township, is of the opinion that pre-
vious estimates will have to be changed
before shock threshing is completed
and some of the grain marketed He
says he will gladly admit that the crop
is unusually large, but declines to har-
Dor the idea that it is the best crop in
quality and quantity that has eyer been
gathered in the history of the town
The general yield is estimated at
eighteen bushels to the acre for wheat,
two-thirds of which will be placed at
No. 2, and some of it even will grade
as low as No. when marketed. Mr..

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Pay Station of Long Distance Telephone
Tempered With.

When the cash was removed from the
box of the long distance telephone at
The Saulpaugh Thursday, the discov-
cry was made that some party had at
tempted to rob the box by prying it
off, and had all but succeeded in doing
so. 1t is not known when the attempt
was made to rob the box, as the cash
is removed but once month. About
$40 had accumu lated up to yesterday.
The telephone company has had trouble
of this kind all over the country,
which leads to the belief that the thief
makes it his business to go from town
to town and rob boxes.

AUGUST SIXTEENTH.
General Meeting of Committees on Lab.
or Day Called.

The plans for a general half holiday
on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. Sd, are
progressing. The committee from the
Modern Woodmen consists of August
Marschner, L. o. Randall, August
Armenian, John G. Skuse and VIM.
Morgan. 1t is proposed that all places
of business close at noon, and that a
big picnic be held at Sibley park in
the afternoon and evening, with an
amateur ball game and other sports
and amusements, music by the band,
etc. If the committees appointed from
other organizations are favorable, all
business men and factories will be
asked to close and cooperate in having
a grand celebration.
The Knights of Pythias last night
appointed W. N. Plymat, J. B. Rich
ards and E. F. Soaring committee
to cooperate with the committees from
other organizations. 1t is expected
that other committees will be named
within the next few days.
A meeting of all of the committees
has been called for the evening of Aug.
10Th at the board of trade room at
the city hall to talk over and agree on
a line of work. 1t is hoped that the
move will meet with success, to the
end that all labor shall have half
holiday at least on Labor day.

THE UP TO DATE HARNESS.

w. B. Walker & Son have something
new in the single harness line without
breeching that is very neat and per-
fectly safe used for track and light
driving. 1t is particular valuable in
giving the horse that free and natural
motion SO hard to give horse hitched
between two stiff thills. The side mo-
tion is reduced to minimum giving
the horse much more freedom in draw
ing and holding back than any harness
ever made Gives ease to the driver
as well as to the horse.
W. B. Walker & Son invite all to
call at their store and see the harness.
They also have harness they let for
thill use.
