A PAINTING ROOM.

The census Office at Washington
has set aside a room for the care OF
girls in their employ when they are
attacked with a fainting spell fir ON
overwork on the counting machines
and the excessive heat. This room is
in charge of trained nurse and has
proved not only convenience, but a
necessity during the summer weather.
In all the other departments in Wash
ington, the work of employees is
Tighten ed during the heated season,
but the census work must needs pro-
coed regardless of the weather.
1t seems heartless to work girls until
they must have special room for
those who break down; furthermore
it appears to be unnecessary If they
were nourished and strengthened with
"Gold Grain Belt" beer, they would
MT break down. Those who drink it
find they can stand a great deal more,
for it is a powerful nerve tonic made
from the purest barley malt and hops
Try a case at home. You can be
supplied by J. NJ Smith.

NO DEVELOPMENTS.
Alleged ShOplifters Have Plenty of Fine
Goods in Their Homes.

There are no new developments in
the shoplifting case, of any import
ance. Mrs. Ulrika Kohler, as stated
Monday by the Free Press, is out on
$500 cash bail Mrs Minnie Kohler' S
husband was unable to raise bail
for her and she is confined in the
county Jail.
Joseph Ruerup is of the opinion
that some of the goods recovered
were stolen from his store. Martin
Walser looked over the stock but did
not recognize any of the articles as
coming from his store.
County Commissioner Paddock has.
been assisting Mrs. Ulrika Kohler,
and she has also been receiving aid
from the ladies' relief societies, SO it
is said. From the amount of elegant
new goods in her house which she
claims to have bought and paid for
she does not need much aid, especially
as she had 5000 in cash in the bank.
A quantity of fine china was found
by Chief Bowen at Mrs Foss' home
which she claimed was given her by
the ladies relief societies, and subse-
,, quently she claimed that she had
bought at Mapleton and elsewhere.
They bear A. Blooms private trade
mark, and he states that no other
store handles them.
Large quantities of crash towelings,
ETC., fine underwear and other goods
were found in the three homes, nearly
enough to load dray.
The doctors do not think Mrs Foss
as sick as she claims to be. She some
time ago submitted to an operation.
She claimed to have been taken i'll
half an hour before the police officers
arrived YESTERDAY.

CREAMERY MEETING.
Buttermakers and Managers Will Meet
In MankatO Thursday.

A meeting of Blue Earth county
buttermakers and creamery managers
has been called for the purpose of form
ing a county organization. This meet
ing will be held at Mankato, Thurs
day, March 2Sth, at 2 p. m. at the city
hall. A preliminary meeting was held
at Lake Crystal March Sth and at
Mapleton March 18th, at which tenn
porary officers were elected but at this
meeting permanent organization
will be perfected and officers elected
for the ensuing year.
The object of this association will
be to promote the art of buttermakins
and general advancement of the
creamery industry. Freeborn, Martin,
Faribault, Meeker and Mcleod coun-
ties have organizations of this kind
and the splendid showing made by
these counties is undoubtedly due to q
great extent to their strong county as
sociations. Blue Earth county has
every facility and now the opportunity
to do fully as well.
A splendid program will be rendered
after adopting constitution and elect
ing officers.
Prof. I. L. Hacker has promised
to give good lecture. Sam'l Haug-
dahl will talk on STARTERS w. W..
P. Mcconnell, state dairy and food
commissioner, will be present if pos
sible and will explain the new idea in
scoring butter. Mr.. Haugdahl is spe-
cially anxious to meet the creamery
men of Blue Earth county, as that is
now in his territory.
The temporary officers are A. G.
Noble chairman, S. I. Lamas secre-
tary and T. Kunkle of Rapidan and
F. Wilson of Good Thunder are the
committee of arrangements for Thurs
DAYS convention.

TWENTY=EIGHT.
A Fine Class Initiated Monday
Night.
MankatO Council More Than FulfiIIs II
Pledge to Take in Fifty New Mem.
bers During the Year.

Mankato council No. 1920, Royal Ar
canum, had the best meeting Monday
night that it ever had. 1t saw the fulfill
ment of the pledge which was made a
year ago to the grand council when
the latter voted to hold it's meeting
in this city today. Mankato council
then pledged itself to take in fifty new
members during the year, and the
number which it actually initiated
during the year was fifty-two, while
twelve more applicants are pending
and the applications will be initiated
at the next meeting. A class of
twenty eight was inflated last night,
bringing the total membership of the
council up to 1913.
Deputy Grand Regent Frank R. Nc
Donald of Minneapolis assisted in Sc
curing applications Saturday and Mon
day. 1t was through hishelp that the
council succeeded in fulfilling it's pledge
Mr.. Mcdonald filled the regents station
during the work. About a hundred
members were present, including seven
of the grand officers and representa-
tives to the grand council from
abroad.
Under good of the order, addresses
were delivered by E. E. Dow of To-
ledo Ohio, deputy supreme regent
Grand Secretary Geo. T. Hughes of
Duluth, Deputy Grand Regent Melon
aid, Frank j. Meyst of Minneapolis,
chairman of the finance committee of
the grand council, DR.. R. L. Stillman
of Minneapolis, DR.. Corpron of Mime
apolis, and Attorney G. N. Andrews
and Rev.S. D. Works of this city, who
were members of the class just taken
in.
A pleasing feature of the evening
was the presentation to Brother Nc
Donald by Mankato council of hand
some fob watch chain and a Royal
Arcanum charm, as an appreciation
of the good work which he did for the
council on Saturday and Monday. W.
L. Comstock made the presentation re-
marks, and they were so touching that
Mr.. Mcdonald was unable for a time
to master his feelings sufficiently to
respond. When he did reply he made
some very appropriate and happy re-
marks.
The lodge hall was handsomely de-
corated with palms. The entire eve
ming was greatly enjoyed by everyone
present, and it was an hour past the
dead o'night' when farewells were
said.
| Mankato council is now in a more
prosperous condition than it ever was
before. Its growth, which was slow
but steady during the first few years
of its existence, has been rapid during
the last..two or three years. The per-
sonel of the membership could hardly
be surpassed anywhere, and the class
taken in at the special meeting last
night is composed of some OF our best
business and professional men.
| Mankato council will receive the
$50 cash prize offered by the grand
council for the largest percentage of
increase in membership in councils of
this size.

In the contest for mayor and other
city officers, the voters should not lose
sight of the aldermanic ticket. The
Republicans have chosen strong
ticket which should receive the sup
port of every Republican in their vari-
GUS wards The election of G. S. Hall
strom in thief rist; Geo. 81. Lang in
the Third; F. g. Heinze in the
Fourth; w. H. Wilcox in the Fifth,
and g. W. Eichstaudt in the Sixth
ward, will give the city splendid
aldermanic body, one that will closely
guard the interests of the taxpayer
and the city in general. They are all
connected with business interests in
the city, have its welfare at heart,
are wide awake. progressive gentle
men, and in every way worthy of the
trust and sufirages of their fellow
citizens.
The voters should keep in mind that
the council is one of the most import
ant departments of the city govern
ment it is the legislative body, and
has the say as to the spending of the
city's funds, as well as the locating
and carrying on of all city improve
ments, and this renders the selection
of that body a most important matter,
which should receive the careful atten-
ton of our people. The drift of public
opinion today is clearly in favor of
Aid. Meyer for mayor, and this makes
it highly important that council be
elected that is wholly in SYMPATHY
with him in an economical admins
tration of city affairs and such an end
can be attained by voting for the Re-
publican aldermanic candidates in the
different wards. See that your cross
mark is placed after the Republican
for alderman in your ward.

The Democrats of the city paid a
deserved compliment to D. V. Will,
liams, our present city recorder, when
they refrained from putting up can
didate against him for that Office. Mr..
Williams has made most excellent
and painstaking official, and has placed
the records in shape so that it can
easily be learned how matters stand at
all times. The stand he has taken in
favor of an economical conduct of the
city's affairs has proved of great bene-
fit to the city, and as a result he richly
deserves the good fortune which has
befallen him in this virtual endorse
ment through failure Of the Democrats
to name a candidate against him.
And the city is equally fortunate as
we'll.

out of the city treasury, they want

A CAUSE or
One Very Common Cause, GeneralI
Over-LOOkeds

Dne Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked
Headache is a symptom. an in
dication of arrangement or disease
in some organ. and the cause OF
the headache is difficult to locate
because SO many diseases have
headache as a prominent symptom;
arrangement of the stomach and
i'll liver, heart trouble, kidney
disease, lung trouble, eye strain or
i'll fitting glasses all produce head
aches and if we could always To-
cate the organ which is at fault
the cure of obstinate headaches
would be a much simpler matter.
However, for that form of head
ache called frontal headache, pain
back of the eyes and in forehead,
the cause is now known to be ca
tarrh Of the head and throat;
When the headache is located in the
back of head and neck it is often
caused from catarrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most
common cause of such headaches
and the cure of the catarrh causes
a prompt disappearance of the
headaches.
There is at present no treatment
for catarrh so convenient and eff
fective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
a new internal remedy in tablet
form, composed of a~ntiseptics like
Eucalyptol, Guaiacol and Blood
Root which act upon the blood and
cause the elimination of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system
through the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent
school teacher in one of nor-
NAL schools, speaks of her eXper-
fence with catarrhal headaches and
eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
as a cure for them. She says: Il
suffered daily from severe frontal
headache and pain in and back OF
the eyes, at times so intensely as
to incapacitate me in my daily
duties. l had suffered from catarrh
more or less for years, but never
thought it was the cause of my
headaches, but finally became con-
WINGED that such was the case be-
cause the headaches were always
worse whenever / had a cold or
fresh attack of catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were
highly recommended to me as a
safe and pleasant catarrh cur and
after using a few fifty cent boxes
which I procured from my drug
gists l was surprised and delighted
to find that both the catarrh and
headaches had gone for good"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at fifty cents per
package, under the guarantee OF
the proprietors that they contain
absolutely no cocaine found in so
many catarrh cures) no opium $50
common in cheap cough cures) nor
any harmful drug. They contain
simply the wholesome ~antiseptics
necessary to destroy and drive
from the system the germs Of ca
tarrhal disease.

Grape-Nuts Turned Into Big Build

The duties of an architect are 50
multitudinous, looking after the thou
sand and one details required in the
construction of large buildings, that
many of them suffer from the constant
mental application and require the best

Henry C. Hengels, says:

sary plans and details for the large
hotel known as the Post Tavern and
the Post Building, at battle Creek, as
well as several other large institutions,
