EXCESSIVE TEA DRINKING.

Deleterious Effects Noticeable Among
 English Women and Children.
 There is a. new and sudden terror added to the troubles of housekeepers in these days, one that was unknown to mistresses of long ago, and was not among the catalogue of misfortunes which dogged the footsteps of our mothers and grandmothers. In those days servants may have been stupid, impatient, idle or careless. but they were strong They ate, slept and lived we'll and if they suffered from any in- disposition it was one which usually could be explained by the fact that they had a generous appetite. Nothing could be healthier or more vigorous than the servant of those days bright eyed, rosy checked and buton, she was the embodiment of good health Then food was coarse, often insufficient, and their sleeping and living space was wont to fall short of the number of cubic feet of fresh air which in these days of sci entific senitation is considered neces- sary to maintain a sound constitution. One well remembers what the servants sleeping accommoda tions used to be generally a garret in the roof or a eel lar below stairs, frequented by rats and black beetles and place of hor- TOT, calling up a shudder at the very thought. They worked much harder than our domestic helpers of to-day their outings were fewer and much

THE AMERICAN MULE IN WAR


 When some American mules in South
 Africa stampeded with the British field
 guns and put the Englishmen in rather
 a bad plight in the face of the ene' ",
 people said that it was the American
 mules way of showing sympathy with
 the Boer cause, The thing was spoken
 of and written about everywhere as be-
 ing the first instance where the mule,
 though his back always has had to
 bear much obloquy, ever came within
 an ace of being responsible for the de- feat of an army. People who wrote and talked about the affair evidently had never heard of how a Missouri mule came near being the cause of the wiping out of Reno's battalion on the Little Big Horn contemporaneolsly band of a few miles beyond. An ugly, vicious, branded Missouri mule did his level best on that awful day to aid the Indians in exterminating the whites, and, what's more if it hadn't been fer an Irish sergeant, Richard J. Hanley, recently retired, the Missouri mule would have succeeded.
 The long -eared ammunition bearer was with the pack train to the right and rear of the squadron which was lying facing the enemy along the edge of the wood. A Sioux bullet went over the head of the skirmishers and vita far reaching trajectory tore an ounce of flesh out of the pack mules flank It instantly snapped its tether, btnke like a set of ours from right l1 rear, and clearing the obstacles of its right full lords and masters to the front, made straight on awild gallop for the heart of the outlying masses of the In dians. When within about 100 yards of the place which it was headed, the mule struck bit of bunch grass which was to it's liking, and it then and there started to graze. On it's back, in 1he ammunition cases, lay that which meant the safety of Reno's forces. To reach the animal any man of tne com mand must cross an open plain swept | by a thousand rifles.
 There was moment of consuita tion | among the officers and a desperate | plan for the recapture of the mule was | being discussed, when one of ,he sol- | diers SEW far over the right, just above | the grass, the slowly moving head of q | white man, who was crawling toward | It. Discovery for him meant capture and death. On he went while between 1 shots the eyes of his every comrade sought him. He was within twenty i've yards of the mule. Then he stood straight up, dashed forward, vaulted >nto the creature's back, and dragging leep the spurs he started the animal pack on gallop, as wild as that by which it had fled. There was a yell rom the reds. A hundred rifles were emptied at the flying beast and it's launtless rider. Sergeant Richard J.

color are soon regained because food ncurishes and the blood ceases to be impoverished. Inquiries from any doc- tor practicing among servants will bear out these contentious and it is well that the attention of all mlstresses should be directed to them. Coffee and cocoa are not only harmless, but nour- ishing, and can always be kept ready. The evil is, perhaps, even greater in the kitchen than in other departments of the house, owing to the heat in which cooks and scullery maids have to work, and these beverages are as easily pre- pared there as tea. It may seem, per- haps, a small matter in itself, but it deserves attention as the habit is really undermining the health of our servants all over Great Britain.-Lon- don Telegraph.

ELEVATOR BURNED.
Blue Earth is to Have a Fine New High
School Building.

Blue Earth, Mimi, March 2S.-
Special to Free Press. The elevator
owned by S. Pfeffer & Son was burned
this morning between one and two
o'clock. 1t is total loss, the fire hav-
ing gotten too big start for the fire
companies, though they with great
effort saved the Penizo warehouse
and the Omaha railroad water tank.
The building was insured for 50, 500,
and the grain for $4,000. The loss is
50, 900 to So, 900. The cause of the fire
is supposed to have been tramps or in
cendiarism. The elevator will be re-
built at once.
The bids for building new high
school building were recently opened,
of which there were ten on the build
ing and twenty on the heating and
eight on the plumbing. The contract
was awarded to NJ E. Bush of Des
Moines, Iowa, for $2S, 725, and to Pond
& Hasey of st. Paul for the heating at
81, 500. The plumbing has not been
let. The building is to be built of

JUDGE CRAY DECIDES.

Judge Cray has filed decision in
the district court of Hennepin county
in the case of the Minneapolis Trust
company as receiver of the North
western Guaranty Loan company
against Louis F. Menage and G. S.
Lacy ct al, in which he overrules all
objections and approves and allows the
several items of the account of the
plaintiff, as trustee.
The action was a proceeding to sur
charge the trustees account with the
difference between what the 295 West
Pullman bonds were sold for and what
the DIRECTORS claimed the bonds were
worth. The court holds that they were
not worth more than their selling
price of $780, 500.
In his memoranda, Judge Cray says
the sale of the bonds cannot be con-
strued to have been fraudulent. The
vital question to be considered was
What was the value of the bonds I'M
der the rules of law? The old bonds
he thinks, were sold for all that could
have been realized from them by ordi-
nary diligence and prudence

SAW THE EXECUTION.
Sheriff Gerlich Returns From Assisting
at Hanging.

Sheriff Gerlich returned last Saturday
noon from Henderson, where he wit
messed the execution of Theodore Wal
lert, the brute who murdered his wife
and four children. Mr.. Gerlich was
one of the six sheriffs who acted as
guards on the scaffold. The hanging
was accomplished soon after midnight,
the drop being sprung at :05 a. m.
By prearranged plan, the priest was
uttering prayer, and when he arrived
at certain word the Henderson
sheriff pulled the trap and Wallert shot
down to his death before he was
aware that his last moment had come.
Everything went off without hitch,
in the presence of about 1875 spectators
who were admitted. A number of
newspaper men were present, but none
of them were admitted.
The place of execution had been en-
closed at point 300 feet from the Jail,
and the gallows used at an execution
at Granite Falls was borrowed for the
occasion. When Wallert had hung for
eleven minutes and ten seconds the
ply sicians pronounced him dead
He was cut down and Sheriff Gerlich
and Sheriff Joe Schmitt of Waseca
carried the remains back to the jail.
Investig cation showed that the neck
was not much swollen.
A considerable crowd was on the
outside of the enclosure during the
execution, but no sympathy was ex-
pressed for Wallert, whose murderous
act was cold blooded to a degree.
Wallert's body did not move in the
least after it shot through the trap,
but hung as quietly as a bag of sand
would. Not even a tremor was to be
discovered.

There is a case of measles in the de-
tention hospital, and some of the
neighbors are much worried for fear
that it will spread. If the attendant
is careful, there is no danger of this
or any other contagious disease spread

Mrs. Ulrika Kohler, one of the
women arrested on the charge of shop
lifting, and who has been receiving
aid from the county, had 1926 on de-
posit in one of the local banks. One
of the creditors of the woman has
levied on the balance left from the
bail money to satisfy claim for 1926.

A BIG CONTRACT,
Widell & Co. Secure One at Omaha
From Two Railway Lines.

Gus Widell returned Saturday from
Omaha where he has been looking af-
ter contracts. He was successful in
closing a contract for Widell & Co.
with the G. & N. w. and the Free
mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley roads
for three large stone bridges. These
roads are building a joint track to
connect their lines at Omaha. and
these bridges are loca ted in that piece
of track This means large amount
of stone and will give employment at
the quarries t. large number of men
for a considerable time. When Col
Widell goes after big contract it sell
dom gets away from him. The amount
this covers in not yet given out, but
it will take several thousand dollars
And in this connection we might
say that Mr.. Widell being one of the
largest employers of labor in the city
is much interested in the manner of
conduct of city affairs, and the secur-
ing of wise and economical admins
tration of municipal matters that will
conduce to the keeping OF taxes to the
lowest point possible, and in this
every laboring man is equally inter
ested. In the present contest Mr..
Widell expresses the belief that Mr.. A.
G.. Meyer, in view of his faithful
services on the council is the most
logical candidate for the Office of
mayor, and hopes to see him elected.
He thinks that his services in behalf
of the taxpayers during the past two
years give ample proof of most eco
nomical administration as mayor.
