TAKEN TO SIOUX CITY.
The Plummers Returned to the Scene of
Their Misdeeds.

William Plummer and wife passed
through Mankato on the II :13 O'Clock
train Monday night on their way from
Minneapolis to Sioux City. They
were in charge of Sheriff Jackson of
Sioux City, whom. it is claimed, the
desperate little woman has said that
she would kill if she ever got chance.
81 am not ready to die just yet, |"
said the sheriff, laughingly, $50 1 will
be on the alert until I have my pre-
cious pair secured behind the bars. -
The Plummers were handcuffed to-
gether when the Minneapolis police
turned them over to Sheriff jackson
and Capt. Richards of the Sioux City
police department.
1t appears that a newspaper clipping
was responsible for the arrest OF the
Plummers. When the Minneapolis de-
tectives found Mrs Plummer at the
Milwaukee depot dressed in men g
clothes and iauntily smoking cigar
cite they thought it simply woman 8
freak-a simple case of a woman mas
querading in male attire. If the
woman had simply informed the Off
GERS that she was out for little fun
her trouble would not have been seri-
GUS. When in searching Plummer' s
pockets the officers found newspaper
clipping which gave brief descrip-
ton of the Jail delivery at Sioux City
then it was suspected for the first time
that the prisoners were precious ones.
The woman was wearing her own
clothing when she and her husband
arrived in Minneapolis Friday morn
ing and put up at farmers hotel in
North First street. Mrs. Plummer
donned her husbands clothing at that
hotel.
There is no longer any thought that
the Plummers had anything to do with
the killing of Riggs at Merriam juno
ton few days ago.
Mrs. Plummer was greatly pleased
when informed that she was to accom-
pany her husband to Sioux City. The
little woman was very perceptibly de-
pressed yesterday morning when she
feared that she might.have to come to
Mankato and stand trial for horse
stealing. In her womanly enthusiasm
she had calculated there was no such
thing as fail when she and her husband
had got so far away from the scene of
their exceedingly nervy work.
The faithful little woman brighten
ed up somewhat when she learned she
and her husband were not to be sep
arated.

REFERRED 1T TO A COMMITTEE.

At the board of tradeMonday morning
Jno. N. Hall brought up the matter of
election for library board under the
new law providing for an election to
be held on the third Saturday in July.
He deprecated the passage of such a
law and thought it considerable of a
fool movement, but supposed that as
it was on the statute books it should
be observed. He thought under the
circumstances the present board ought
to be continued. In view of the fact
that the city attorney of Winona has
advised that city to disregard the law
entirely and so allow the old board to
hold over, the matter was referred to
the committee on legislation to look
over. The committee is composed en-
tirely of lawyers.

DEATHS ROLL CALL.

DR.. W. R. Kirkwood. who is tenn
porarily filling the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church, has received word
that his brother, DR.. Samuel j. Kirk
wood, who for the past thirty four
years has been professor of mathe
matics and astronomy at Wooster uni
versity, Wooster, Ohio, died early Mon
day morning of artery sclerosis at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Angus
tus Armstrong, at Albert Lea, MINI.
DR.. Kirkwood had been i'll for a long
time and in the past few years was
from time to time compelled to quit
his work and seek rest and recupera-
tion away from home. Early this
spring he grew worse and left his work
again, coming to Minnesota, where he
had spent his summers for several
years past in the hope that he would
be able to build himself up again. In
stead of getting better he grew worse
until the end came. The remains
were started for Wooster last evening.

CARNIVAL ARRANGEMENTS.
Executive Committee Meets and Hears
Reports of Subcommittee.

The executive committee of theElks'
carnival held a meeting Monday and
transacted considerable business.
W. B. Davies was chosen chairman of
a committee on information, and given
power to select the balance of the
committee.
The subcommittee presented re-
ports. The ways and means commit
tee reported that not enough money
has yet been collected from the bust
ness men. The Elks can cancel the
carnival up to the last week, and
threaten to do so unless the business
men are more liberal.
The press committee reported that
Sc papers had agreed to publish notices
of the carnival, and arrangements will
be made with others.
The privilege committee reported
that it had received many applica-
tions for privileges but had not yet
granted any.
The parade committee reported that
it would arrange for two forenoon
parades.
The transportation committee report
ed that it had secured a rate of one
fare for the round trip for the entire
week of the carnival, and that popu-
lar excursions would be run at still
lower rates.
Eevrything is going along smoothly,
and the carnival promises to be the
biggest thing that Mankato has seen
for long time.

Senator Warren of Wyoming an
nounces as opposed to tariff | gislation
of any kind at the next session of
congress. Tariff tinkering he says leads
to uncertainty in trade and that is
something that. ought TO be avoided.
He doubts that tariff legislation
will have any effect one way or the
other on trusts, Speaking If trusts, he
says we do not know yet whether or
not they are detrimental to the coun-
try. 1t will take time to find that out
and after we are sure of our ground
he is of the opinion that much more
definite action can be taken. The sena-
tor may be correct in his pre- misses as
to trusts, he certainly is as to the
effect of tariff legislation upon them.
But as to the matter of tariff legisla
ton at this time, it seems to us his
point is not we'll taken. If tine tariff
should be revised, then it should be
tackled at once. Its delay will only
be detrimental to the business interests
of the country by bring ing more
radical movement later on Republi-
can tariff legislation has never had
bad effect upon the country, because
the business interests of the nation
have always had confidence in what
that party would do. As to trust legis-
lation the senator is doubtless not far
from right in his premises. Still there
is some legislation needed to curb the
rapacity exhibited by some of the
trust managers. But most of all the
Republican party should put itself on
record again as being in favor of the
national control of trusts, and should
again propose constitutional amend
ment, in line vita the one they pro-
posed in the last house and which was
voted down by the action of the Demo
Gratis. This might be its fate again.
but it would clearly define where the
two parties stand on the question.
The great combinations that have been
brought about this year in the steel
industry, and in railroads have most
emhpatically illustrated the fact that
whatever regulation and relief is to
be- afforded by legislation, must come
from the federal government. State
legislation and action is not far reach
ing enough to be of any particular SER
vice in solving the problem.

H|S0N'S ANIMATED PICTURES.

An lnsli ution Devoted 10 the Exhibi ion
of Edison's Latest Pic ures Will be
One of the Special A,trac ions at the
EIks Carnival.
Moving pictures kept up to date are
always an interesting exhibition.
The announcement of the subjects that
will be exhibited and illustrated is
sufficient proof that the one coming
with the Midway company will be of
unusual merit. The Queens funeral
is the latest prominent one that the
Edison company has manufactured. 1t
will be the first American production
outside of New York city of Edison 8
latest films, illustrating all the royal
pomp and ceremony attending the
mournful event The pictures were
taken on the spot by special operators
of the Edison company. The roll
measures 1000 feet, and more than 90,
600 distinct pictures are necessary to
reproduce the scenes which include
VAN AoASAoA SOAlCSO, IAO VI
King Edward, the reception of Emperor
William, etc.
Five hundred feet of films made
when Carrie Nation was on her Joint
smashing crusadesssin Kansas will also
be presented. The robust home de-
fender and her band of wreckers are
shown at work with their hatchets
and the exhibition undoubtedly will
prove drawing card. A trip to the
moon, laughing Partisan moving
picture invention is featured with the
other presentations, as is also the only
successful colored animated scenes
depicting the beautiful pantomine
"Cinderilla. The pictures are per-
feet and are gotten on 1901 model of
the Edison's machine which causes no
vibration or the usual fut tering that
is almost invariably found in an ex-
hibition of this nature. The show
lasts fully forty-fve minutes and is
easily worth FIVE times the amount of
admission charged. By the aid of es-
pecially manufactured black canvass
they are as equally we'll shown in the
day time as at night.

though President Mckinley was doing
most commendable thing. Evans

bulletin was read saying that 1t Was

looked anxiously into each others faces;

than they could stand. They had hardly
regained their senses before another bull

Northwestern was forced to punt and
that punt was blocked, a Minnesota man
falling on the ball, making touch

could hear football songs attached to-the
tunes of Hot Time More Work for

other popular airs, issuing from the open

the scenes which were enacted at the

blocked. and Minnesota got the ball on
the 5-yard line. Hoyt made 2 around
a touchdown. Knowlton made g very
poor kick out to Dobie on the 25-yard
line, but Dobie got it, although he had
to jump ten feet for it. KnoWlton then
missed goal. Score is to 0.
1t was very dark by this time, and 1t
was impossible to distinguish the play
ers from the grand stand. Northwest
ern seemed bent on delaying the game
as darkness came on. The Minnesota
contingent was fearful that a fiuke might
result in a score at the eleventh hour.
Baird kicked off a full SO yards, Dobie
pulling it down on the goal line and
running back 30 yards with it. Lafans
got around Elliot for sensational run
at So yards. Then Knowlton to guard
against possible huke in the dark,
punted 40 yards out of bounds. Then
Northwestern turned a trick that proved
the wisdom of Knowltons punt. Massing
their tandem in a rush against the right
end they tore down upon that end of the
line ferociously, and nearly all the Go
pher team banked against the tandem.
But Capt. Dietz suddenly shot out around
the left end with the ball under his arm.
He ran 40 yards before Dobie doWned
him on the side lines Dietz tried the
same tandem fake again on the other
hurled him back for loss of 10 yards
just as the whistle blew. Final score,
