THE RIGHT MAN.
P. E. Keith Mentioned For Supreme Sec.
rotary of M. B. A.

F. E. Keith left for Sioux
City Saturday to attend the special
meeting of the supreme lodge OF the
Modern Brotherhood of America,
which opened there Tuesday. 1t
is expected that there will be change
made in the Office of supreme secretary,
owing to the troubles at Upton, Iowa,
and Mr.. Keith's friends will present
his name for the Office. The local
lodge, No. 232, recently adopted res
olution recommending him for the
place, should the supreme lodge see fit
to make a change, and his friends
will hope for his election.
Mr. Keith was born and raised in
Blue Earth county, and is typical
westerner, full of push and energy.
He is well qualified to fill the Office,
and if elected would bring to it that
ability and activity which would be a
source of strength to the order. He
has.. ALREADY proved his capacity to di-
rect large affairs, and it would seem
as though the supreme lodge would
make no mistake by bestowing the
position on so worthy member as
Brother Keith.
Mr.. Keith's acquaintance is very
extensive, and he will have support
from many sections of the northwest.
He is sterling gentleman, and his
many excellent qualities are recog-
nized by those who know him.

ap lis.

Burglars entered the residence OF
John c. Sweet, 526 Eleventh avenue
Sc, Minneapolis, Wednesday night and
carried off silverware, rings, brooches,
etc, worth between 800 and $500.
The family plate, fortunately, was in
a safety deposit vault.
The burglars entered the room where
Mr.. Sweet was sleeping and took his
trousers, the pockets of which, how
ever, contained only some loose
change Then they entered the room
of Mrs. Sweet in which there was also
child sleeping, and passing between
the bed of Mrs. Sweet and the cradle
of the child, rifed the dresser, over
looking a pocketbook, containing a
considerable sum, a diamond breast
pin and a ring.
Mr. Sweet is the oldest son of K. c.
Sweet, former resident of this city,
and is an attorney by profession and a
member of the legislature.

succeeding James Karmany Jr., who
will give his attention to the markets.
The packing house consists of a
basement and five floors, with an ice
house. Mr.. Macbeth is using the base
ment for picking hams and bacons.
On the first floor is the killing room
for hogs, cattle and poultry, and it
is here that the slaughtered hogs go
through the various processes until
they are cut into loins, bacons, hams
and shoulders, and the lard taken from
them. Then they are carried into the
basement curing room and put into
watts, Nthe hams to remain sixty days
and the bacon thirty days. Sixtytwo
hogs were slaughtered yesterday. Mr..
Macbeth makes his own castings, tripe
and pigs feet.
On the second floor is the sausage
kitchen with its four choppiug ma
chimes, one of which is new and is
called the Silent Buffalo meat chopper.
The sausage mixer has capacity of
400 pounds. Sausages ARE being
shipped out in various directions, go
ing as far west as Currie. Later it is
expected to ship the cured meat, and
a gradually charging market is hoped
for.
A large part of the building is as yet
unused or occupied for storage pur-
poses Everything about the building
is very neat, and the floors are washed
each afternoon or evening after the
days work is over.
Mr.. Macbeth will place his first cured
hams on the market Nov. 1st, and al
ready has bacon and lard out He will
engage in the wholesale oyster business
Nov list, in connection with his other
business
The people of Mankato should be
glad to have the packing house again
in operation and in such competent
hands 1t means much to the business
interests of the city to have a good
live stock and poultry market, as it
draws the farmers from wide scope
of territory and puts money into Cir
culation that will be beneficial to all.
Let everybodysswish Mr.. Macbeth sue
cess in his undertaking and stand by
him.

FOUND GUILTY.
Thomas Richardson Convicted of Ped.
ding Without a License.

:. The trial of Thomas Richardson on
the charge of peddling without city
license took place before Judge Shis
sler Saturday. W. R. Geddes, attorney
for Robinson, moved that the action
be dismissed on the ground that the
city ordinance was unconstitutional.
City Attorney Daley was assisted by
]. 81. Long, attorney for the Mer-
chants Protective association. The
court this afternoon ov erruled the
motion and proceeded with the trial
of the case on its merits.
Three witnesses were sworn on the
part of the city, one testifying that
she had purchased a wringer of Rich
ardson, and another that she had pur-
chased rug and lace curtain.
Richardson took the stand on his
own behalf and claimed that he had
only leased the goods to the parties to
whom he had delivered them. He
said that he had received 81 down on
the wringer and would receive % cents
a month, giving a bill of sale when it
was paid for.
The court held that the transaction
constituted a sale, and f found Rich
ardson guilty and placed his fine at
$40 and costs, ST. IA in all, or thirty
days in Jail. Richardson refused to
pay the fine and commitment was
made out.
1t is said that local dealers sell as
good wringers at So, and other articles
in proportion.
The peddler's license is 81 per day.
Richardson's attorney will start
habeas corpus proceedings to secure
his release from Jail Monday.

The Free Press the Leader Only $IOO Year.

Horace Cummins and A. a. Press
nall stated that they had long consid
cred Lovett's actions queer and not
like those of men of good intellect.
Ephriam Clements, father in law Of
Lovett, said that he sometimes thought
that Lovett acted queerly, especially
this fall. He would talk diconnectedly.
During the summer he complained OF
having pain in his side. There had
been no mental trouble in his family.
His son had told him this forenoon
that during the past two days Lovett
had acted deranged. The man had a
terrible temper and would punish his
oldest boy too severely, but aside from
that showed no disposition to harm
anyone.
A brother of Lovett stated that he
and his mother had remarked =. that
Oliver acted queerly.
Oliver Lovett, while being question
ed, claimed that he had been married
fifteen years and that his oldest boy
was eight years old. His father-in-
law, however, declared that the mar
riage occurred eight years ago, and
that the oldest boy is only four years
of age. Lovett acted perplexed at this
testimony, but finally admitted that
be was married eight years ago.
The hearing was concluded after A.
L. Cummins, VIM Lovett and Messrs.
Wagner and Carpenter had testified.
The general drift of the evidence was
to the effect that Lovett had always
had peculiarities, but is not much
different now from heretofore. 1t was
found that he is not insane and he was
discharged. He is of weak mind
or embecile, but the state has no place
to confne or care for such persons
when over twenty-one years of age.
Later, Henry Karn swore out war
rant for Lovett's arrest on the charge
of placing an obstruction on rail
way track. He is in the custody of
the sheriff. The hearing under the
criminal proceeding will take place
soon.
Lovett has a shabby appearance,
but looks like hard working man,
with not much brain to spare.
Detective LETTERS will go TO South
Dakota to look into case of wholesale
robbery from freight cars.

GOOD HOG MARKET
POrkers Brought in From Long
Distance
The Starting up of the Packing House
Puts the Prices up...An Important
Industry.

Mankato has recently taken the lead
again as the best hog market IN this
section of the state, and farmers are
coming in from long distances with
their product. There have been periods
in the past when Mankato was not as
good a place to market hogs as some
of her neighbors, but that time has
passed, and she is outbidding the sur
rounding towns for fat pork ers. The
starting up of the packing house. al
though done with little blare of trum-
pets, is accountable for this desirable
state Of affairs. A steady market for
not only hogs, but cattle, sheep and
poultry of all kinds has been made,
and the highest market prices are
paid.
On Wednesday, J. W. Austin brought
in load of hogs from four miles be-
yond Lake Crystal and received So. 70
per hundred, or so cents per hundred
more than he could get at Lake Crys-
tai.
Last Saturday, J. G. Thomas of
Butternut Valley brought in thirteen
hogs, a distance of seventeen miles,
and received So. 10 per hundred, or 65
cents per hundred more than he could
get at Lake Crys tai.
On Oct. 10th, S. M. McMahan, who
lives two and a half miles west of
GAINESVILLE, brought in twelve hogs and
received Sc. 10 per hundred, and said
that this was 30 cents per hundred
more than he could get at GAINESVILLE.
Yesterday, the packing house was
paying So. 80 to So. rs for hogs. 1t is
paying 25 cents more than st. Peter.
The receipts are from fifteen to eighty
hogs day, and all are taken that are
offered.
Chas. J. Macbeth bought the pack
ing house last February and has killed
in small way ever since, but on Sept
1st he began packing. He has built
sheds and barns to house and care for
stock, at an expenditure of 81, 200, and
now has 900 hogs, 800 sheep and $50
cattle on hand. In his &C: lers are
thirty cattle and in his cellar are
$S, 900 worth of picked meats.
To have an outlet for his product,
Mr. Macbeth has purchased six of the
meat markets in the city and started
one at the packing house that is well
patronized, giving him seven out of
the ten markets in the city. He has
not acquired these with any intention
of raising prices. Mr.. Macbeth has on
his pay roll twenty seven men, of
whom fourteen are employed at the
packing house and thirteen at his
different shops.
A look through the packing house
yesterday afternoon revealed the fact
that it is once more in full operation.
Mr.. Macbeth is the right man to oper-
ate it and make a success of it, and he
states that he will be able to do SO if
he is given support by our people. He
is giving the packing house his per-
sonal attention, having withdrawn
from about everything else that he is
connected with.
Robert Manske is foreman of the
packing house, John Albright is head
beef man, John Lindener has charge
of the sausage department, and An
ton Knower conducts the market. All
are experienced men and rapid
workers.
In the Office we noticed Phil Lamm,
recently returned from the Klondike,
and just installed as book keeper,
