CROPS VERY UNEVEN.

James Shoemaker and F. K. Meagher
yesterday took drive through the
country to look at the crops. They
went into Rapidan, crossed the Baker
ford, went into Vernon, then drove six
miles west, and then returned through
Judson. They found the crops looking
better than they had expected, but not
up to the averages Much of the grain
is short and some wheat and oats will
not be cut. In other places the fields
look we'll. There are some fair pieces
of barley, and corn that was planted
early is we'll along, but some of the kerr
nels did not sprout. In other places
the corn is very little more than out of
the ground. Mr.. Shoemaker does not
expect the wheat to average ten bashels
to the acre. Pasturage is poor, and the
hay crop will be very short.

A BLOODY FIGHT.
Two Employees of the Minneopa Dairy
Farm Have Settle.

There was serious trouble in South
Bend Tuesday afternoon between two
employees of the Minneopa dairy farm.
Marion Hammer, who delivers milk for
the farm, was tending some cattle near the
village and they got into the grain. Fore
man Mosher came along and tbecame
angry when he saw this. Words led to
blows, Hammer striking the first one,
claiming that he was acting in self defense
Mosher then got him down and pounded
him and chewed one thumb badly. When
Hammer was let up he picked up hoe
and struck Mosher so hard with it across
his side that the handle broke. Mosher pick
ed up the piece having the hoe attached and.
struck Hammer on one side of his scalp,
tearing the scalp and one ear loose. Ham
mer then picked up two cobble stones and
started for Mosher, when a Mr..Mitchell
came along and stopped him and took him
home, where he nearlyl tainted from loss
of blood. DR.. Andrews was summoned
and dressed the injuries. Both men were
badly marked
Mosher was arrested later and will have
his hearing before the justice. Both claim
to have acted in self defense.

from kidney disorders and the troubles
of those whose urinary organism is
wrong in its action. That they do this
is so easy to prove that not vestige of

local citizens is easily proven. Read
this case
Mrs. A. F. Chiquet, of Poplar ST.,
says: Both my husband and I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and found them
excellent. My back and kidneys caus-

pains in my loins and aching in my
back and top of the head. I felt a
weakness, was very lame across the

on the charge of bigamy began in the
district court this afternoon. Alleged
wife No 1. of Louisiana, is supposed to

some question whether she will arrive
in time appear as witness for the
state. She has been subpoened and the
county is paying her transportation
bill.
DR." Schumacher was seen by a
Free Press reporter today at the Jail,
and is looking much better than he did
when he first went in. In regard to
the Louisiana woman who claims to be
his wife. he states that he was never
married to her. They passed as man
and wife for convenience during the
six years that they travelled together
in medicine company. and had man
prepare counterfeit marriage certifi-
cate that they could show if necessary.
This is Mr.. Schumacher's account, and
Mrs. Schumacher will probably have a
different story to relate. Mr.. Schu-
mac her states that the certificate was
never placed on file.
In regard to wife No. 2, Mr.. Schu.
macher states that he married her two
days after he met her. She was sick at
the time and he cured her. After.
wards he ascertained that she had a
great deal of money out at in
trest and unsecured. He duced heI
to require the borrowers give trust
deeds and mortgages. He states that it
is these people. who are directly inter
ested in keeping the money without
giving security, that are back of his
prosecution. He says that his wife had
made will while sick, leaving hel
property to different parties, and these
parties are also against him. His wife
handed him the will and told him tt
burn it, which he did. Schumacher de
MES report that he has another wife
living in Colorado. He says that hi
first wife died in 1866, leaving nine
children.
| Judge Buck will assist Arthur Schaul
in Schumacher's defense.

Zimmerman, sister of the bride, was
maid of honor, and Mr.. Homer E. Sar-
gent. brother of the groom, was best
man, The church decorations were
white and green. and the altar looked
particularly attractive with ferns
against background of white drapery.
The bride looked very pretty in a
travelling suit.
All who were at the church were
taken to The Saulpaugh, where we'd
ding breakfast was served, the table
being handsomely decorated with
roses and ferns.

summer home in Michigan. Later.
they will go to Chicago, and take up
their residen CO at the Lexington Hotel,

angels who devote their lives to re-
storing the glow of health to cheeks
paled by illness. She entered St
Luke's hospital in Chicago. leaving hel
Michigan home and winning a high
place in the regard of all by her eff

circles for years. The young man is
college graduate, and the care OF his
fathers large estate will fall upon his
shoulders. He is to be congratulated
upon having secured so estimable
bride. The latter, during her rather
brief residence in Mankato, has made
many warm friends who will rejoice IN
her happiness.
