CONSIDERED FISHY.
Story of Young Girl That She Was
D0ped.

The police were Tuesday looking into
the story of fifteen year old girl who
claimed that she was yesterday after
noon doped by strange woman, who
drove her around for three hours and
finally took her home. She claims that
while sitting in doctors office wait
ing for the doctor to return woman
who was also waiting for him offered
her a piece of candy from package
She at first refused, but on being
pressed accepted piece. After she
had eaten it she felt dizzy, The
woman went out and she followed a
few moments later There the woman
proposed that they walk, and after
going half block she became uncon-
sious. This was at 2 80 p. M, and
three hours later she recovered con-
seriousness and found herself in car
riage with the strange woman, in West
Mankato and near her home. She left
the carriage and returned home with
her sister, whom she saw.
When the girl related her story to
her parents, her father at once started
an Investigate on. Neither the doctor
nor the police think that the story is
probable The impression is that she
remained away from home longer than
she ought to have done and told the
story to explain her absence.

LABOR DISTURBANCE.
Merry.Go. Round Employees Strike and
Their Places Filled.

The merry -go-round located near
the Milwaukee depot was shut down
for several hours Tuesday. 1t was not
shut down for repairs, but because of
strike on the part of the employees
While the clash between capital and
labor was on, the seats and horses in
the merry go-round were clambered
over by numberless boys and girls who
were anxious for ride, while crowd
of others stood around waiting for a
chance to cut in. No music was
waited forth from the barrel organ,
and the machinery stood idle, waiting
for master hand to set it in motion
1t appears that Delos F, Pond, the
proprietor and manager of the merry
go-round, has been paying his en-
ployes $50 month ard board. Har-
vest hands are wanted badly by the
farmers, who are offering $40 a
month or more and board, and three
of Mr.. Ponds force struck for $50 a
month and board. Mr. Pond could not
see his way clear to acceed to the de-
mand, so he set about finding men to
fill the places of the strikers This he
succeeded in doing, and late this af
ternoon had steam up and was about
ready to start the wooden steeds on
their swift journey.

JAPAN'S CREATOR.

Count Ito Hirodumi has been called
the creator of modern Japan. Forty
years ago Japan had the same systems,
customs and laws that had been hand
ed down for thousands of years.
Today it has the best quarantine SER
vice in the world, one of the best mod
ern armies, system of schools nearly
as good as our own and shows CORES
pondingly great Improvements in other
departments. For these achievements
Japan is indebted to Ito more than to
all other men combined. Ito, like
Diaz and Cecil Rhodes, is man who
has risen through his own nerve. he
has absolute confidence in himself and
fears no obstacles Such confidence and
nerve come with good health. Good
health comes after drinking Golden
Grain Belt beer. for it is brewed
from the purest barley malt and hops.
1t is an ideal family drink. Order
of your nearest dealer or be supplied
by M. J. Smith, Mankato.

KIPLlNG AND HIS WORK.
Report That He Inends Returning 10
America. ..-lntersst in "Kim."

1t is reported on what appears to
be good authority that Mr.. Kipling is
soon to return to the United States
and again take up his home at Maui
ahka, near Brattleboro, VT, says the
Philadelphia Press. Mr. Kipling has
not been in the United States since his
rather abrupt departure in the fall of
1897, after the trouble with his
brotherin-law, which has now become
matter of literary history.
The earlier insGallments of Kipling's
"Kim, now appearing as serial in
one of the magazines, is meeting with
most favorable criticism, especially on
the other side of the water. The Lon
don Academy pronounces it the strong
est piece of work which he has yet
done. The present publishers an
nounce unoficially that it will run to
over 105, 900 words. Much of the in
terest in the story, both here and
abroad, arise from desire on the part
of the critics to see just what Mr..
Kipling can do with a long novel.
THE Naulahka'' and 1.-THE Light
That Failed" were both of them elon-
gated short stories rather than novels,
and the same might be said of cap
tains Courageous, which was refer
red to by the literary critic of the
New York Sun at the time of it's ap-
pearance as "a brilliantly elaborated
incident. -
kim" is novel in every sense of
the word. Il common report is to be
believed, Mr.. Kipling has always
wished to get at something of this sort,
and early in his career even began
work on two such attempts, neither of
which was ever completed. One of
the books was to have been called
Gan Officer and Gentleman and
the other "Mather Maturin. -

THE STRIKE.

The great steel strike is on and its
outcome will be watched with much
interest. The great steel combine
gives employment to something over
200, 600 men, and according to figures
given yesterday something like sc, 900
of these are union men. Of these
about 40, 600 are affected by the strike
at present, but all of them are likely
to be drawn into it within short
time, and some of the non-union men
may join the strikers through SYM
pathy. The difference between the
men and the company is not a ques-
tion of wages, but that OF unionization
of all the mills desired by the ANAL
gamated association. The company
claims that the unionization was to
be compulsory, while the union in a
statement claims that this is not so.
That they simply asked that in addi-
ton to the acceptance of the union
scale of wages merely permission to
pursue without molestation or obstruc-
ton the work of voluntary unionizing
all of the plants. Against this the
employers assert they have men in
their employ who do not desire to join
the union, and that they cannot dis
charge these men, and must protect
them individually. This is certainly
a high position to take. one that must
meet public approval, but the company
somewhat skaters it by turning
around and offering to turn over GER
tain of its plants to be un ionized, re-
gardless of the individual freedom of
men who may be employed there.
But President Shaffer of the associ-
alton points out that this position of
the company is untenable and cannot
be accepted by the union. He shows
that it would immediately lead to dis
elimination against the union. All
the mills he says must be either union
or on-union. This discrimination is
worked by closing union mills wien
there must be partial shut down, and
giving preference to the non-union
mills. This being the case, it can be
easily seen why the association is
making the strong point it is contend
ing for The contest really centers
down to a question of organization OF
10 organization though it is waged
between the union and the big steel
combine and as it is the first contest
waged beween the big organizations,
it will be watched with peculiar in
terest

CAMP NOTES.
Heat Makes Little Difference With the

Camp LakeTiew, MINI, Special,
July 16.-The artillery and regiment
infantry went to Rest Island this
morning at 80 and there the engineer
corps will throw up Entertainments for
one of the batteries and the First
battalion will also be intrenched. The
Second and Third battalions and the
other battery will attack. Blank cart
ridges will be used. This regular field
practice will be very interesting and
instructive.
The excessive heat has caused a
great many to complain, but the regu-
lar routine of drill was taken up with
but few exceptions. The regimental
drill was suspended and the guards
were taken off from II to 6 80 o'clock.
Col Bobleter rendered an excursion

As this conversation was going ON
the guard's van came by, and the
guard, with that gracefulness acquired
by constant practice, sailed maiesti-

A new phase has been given the
Caban problem by the report that
comes from Havana that a compaign
for annexation has been inaugurated,
and that systematic work will be car
MED on to make Cuba q state in the
Union. This campaign has been start
ed by the conservative element, and
some of the most prominent Cusans
are said TO be identified with it. Ehey,
are among those who approved OF the
acceptance of the Platt amendment,
but are of the opinion that it does not
go far enough. but they realize that it
makes them a foreign country and they
cannot expect any more at the hands
of the United States. They further
realize that with the most liberal trade
benefits they will be able to secure
thew will then be at a disadvantage in
trading with this country, and 80 the
economic side of the question is prov
ing a powerful feature in the question.
Annexation must come some time
they argue, and why not now, before
the island is exhausted in the att empt
at Enforcement, which from some
standpoints must prove failure at the
best The move is undoubtedly the
best thing that could be done for Cuba,
but the question is, will it succeed
at the present time.

platform. But it is hardly to be ex-
pected that he would. Hardly any one
likes the club that knocks him down.
But Bryan says that the Ohio Demo
Gratis made mistake in making him,
Bryan the issue instead of the plat
form. All this goes to show that
Bryan is still unable to remove him
self from public gaze by his own volt
ton and does not recognize the
fact that he is kicked out. The
Kansas City platform is Bryan,
and had it been endorsed by the Ohio
Democrats, Bryan would have been
the issue just as much as he imagines
he is now. To be cast one side with
out notice is what hurts him. His
waning popularity is something he is
wholly unable to fathom.

Reports as to the conditions of the
crops under this heated spell are some
what mixed, and yet there is doubtless
a good deal Of truth in all of the re-
ports sent out. The only weakness in
them being that they are Of a somewhat
too sweeping nature There have been
reports during the past few days that
the wheat crop. of the northwest was
greatly injured, that estimates of ten
days ago would have to. be cut in two.
Such reports have come out of certain
localities often where only one
or two farms are affected and are taken
up by operators who are interested in
depressing the price, and greatly mag
nified In,seme localities the chinch
bugs seem to be doing some damage,
but even in the affected districts there
are said to be many farms that are
escaping with only slight damage. As
to the effect of the hot wind, the re-
suits from this viii doubtless not be
fully realized until the machine tells
the story at threshing time There
win doubtless be a great deal of
shrunken wheat as the result Blu
while some farmers report considerable
damage, others report none Doubtless
the first farmer will find that while the
damage is not as much as he fears, the
latter may find his fields have been
slightly touched. Outside of the ex-
treme drought stricken districts of
Kansas and Missouri, where rain has
not fallen since early spring, the re-
ports are that the corn crop has not yet
been, much affected by the hot weather.
The fact is corn San stand great deal
of rot weather. The government re-
ports are to the effect that corn has
not been injured to any extent, and
the press reports FROM the corn belt are
also beginning to hedge, with the
proviso that unless rain soon comes
and, the heated spell is broken, great
injury will be done. In the meantime
no immediate relief seems to be in
sight from the intense heat and its ex-
tended continuance must as matter
of course do more or less injury to late
crops at least

-l The reports which come in We'd
morning indicate that the crop pros
poets through the northwest are look
ing a little. better than were reported
a few days ago. Some points report
that the hot winds did considerable
damage to the maturing wheat crop,
while from other points the injury is
reported very slight or none at all.
The corn crop as a whole has been
somewhat damaged, and considerably
so in the southwestern portions of the
belt. Farther east and north the crop
is somewhat later and is said to have
withstood the trying conditions of the
draught and heat remarkably well.
Local rains during the past thirty
six hours, and have afforded consider
able relief and with further early
rains, will mature into a fair crop.

is not as great as at first feared, though
some spots suffered considerably. The
Sioux Falls Press Of yesterday morn
ing gives reports from different parts
of South Dakota which show that
crops have suffered some damage all
over that state but that the ground
being we'll filled with moisture has
helped conditions somewhat. While a
few of its reports are rather blue,
most of them place the damage at from
10 to 10 per cent, few localities 60

fortunate conditions, the Press says
that the crops of the state would

1t has superior driving power, is more
durable, less likely to get out of order,
and above all, it appeals to a woman
because it is so much cleaner and more
easily kept in order, and there are no
chances for entangled skirts. 1t is
merely question of price, and that
