across and cut them completely off. The
boiler was then rolled back. reloaded

dozen men with the aid of two mules,

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.
Healthy, Moral Amusement Should be
Provided to Overcome Evil.

Until the churches provide places Of

the Tivoli will continue TO exist.

must be admitted that much of....the

ministers to visit the Tivoli, see. fol
themselves what class of ..-men.-.pat-

means to give these men some sort OF
amusement that will keep them.away

MEN FOR HARVEST.
There Will be Work for a Large Army
This Year.

Officials of the coast lines have pre-
pared careful estimates, which show
that %, 900 men will be needed to
harvest the northwestern wheat crop.
An extensive advertising campaign
is already in progress through the
east, and for the next month unusual
efforts will be made to secure the
needed help.
The effort to bring men west has
been undertaken at the request of the
farmers of Minnesota and the Dakotas,
from whom numerous appeals for aid
have already been received. Labor is
already hard to secure, and after their
great difficulty in finding men to put
up the hay crop, farmers are naturally
apprehensive that the supply of har-
vest hands also will be limited.
Last year the western lines had
great difficulty in finding enough men
to harvest the wheat crop, and met
their most serious obstacle in the fact
that laboring classes generally were
already we'll employed. 1t is expected
that the task will be much more diff
cult this year, both because of even
better conditions among laboring men
and because the wheat crop promises
to be much heavier than year ago.
The coast lines have announced
special rates of So from st. Paul to
points in the three states, to aid
farmers in securing men. These will
be on sale from July 26 to Aug. 90
They have also taken up the rate ques-
tion with the Chicago-St. Paul lines
and have requested that they aid the
farmers by making an rs westbound
rate out of Chicago to the Twin cities.
It is understood that these lines look
favorably upon the request and will
grant it.
The ''local" labor supply is light.
Labor agents Saturday stated tn at
fewer men than for some years are
applying for jobs. and they predict
that the cities will be able to send
only limited number to the harvest
fields.
The railosd campaign in the east
is conducted in centers where strikes
and other labor troubles have produc-
ed supply of idle men, and in all the
great cities. The demand for men in
the west is being widely advertised
and comprehensive statements of the
situation and information of the
wages that will be paid are sent
broadcast everywhere.

The human appendix undoubtedly
has some use in the bodily economy.
Because we do not yet know what
this organ is good for, it does not fol-
low that it is useless. Then Thy
should you submit to an operation

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Northwestern Road Asked to Pay For
Stock Killed.

The suit of Chas. w. Johnson of
Judson against the Chicago & North
Western road was tried before
Judge Shissler Wednesday. The plain
tiff sues to recover the value of a
horse, $50, and a steer, $50. which
were killed on the track. The plain
tiff claims that the road agreed to pay
for all his stock killed by reason of an
ever crossing without gates that cuts
his pasture in two. The road claims
that there was no such agreement.
Mr.. Johnson does not have a written
agreement, but will put on several
witnesses to show that Right of Way
Agent Cleveland made such promise.
Brown & Abbott of Winona will
represent the railroad company, while

M'CLEARYAT HOME
Second District Congressman
Looking Well.
Will Make an Active Campaign the
Coming Fall, Speaking in
Every District.

Congressman McCleary and family
returned to Mankato at noon Tuesday,
and are stopping at the Saulpaugh.
They reached st. Paul Monday from
Washington, stopped over one day,
and came to this city. They will re-
main in Mankato more or less during
the summer and fall. .. ..
Mr.. McCleary is looking-----well,
and comes back prepared to make an
active campaign. He has promised. to
speak in every district ..of the state,
and in several other states, and does
not intend to slight his .own district
AS usual, he will close the campaign
in Mankato with speech at the opera
house. He anticipates no opposition in
the Republican ranks. With g. N.
Andrews the standard bearer of the
Democracy, he expects clean cam
paign, and one of ideas. which is the
kind that Mr.. McCleary most enjoys.
Regarding the Cuban reciprocity
question, Mr.. McCleary states that
there IS no difference between the
Minnesota delegation and the presi-
dent; the difference is between the
Minnesota delegation and other dele
cations. The president, he thinks,
will be satisfied with the plank on the
subject in the Minnesota platform.
In regard to the tariff on lumber,
Mr.. McCleary expects TO be heard
later. This will probably be touched
upon by him during the campaign.
There are few postoffice appoint
ments to be made in the second dis
trict during the coming summer and
fall, and this subject will not require
much of Congressman McCleary's
time.
Mr.. McCleary intends to file his
notice of candidacy shortly, under the
primary election law, After the
primary election, if he is the party
candidate, he expects to appoint the
congressional committee. This has
been customary in other districts here
tofore, but he has never Influenced
the appointment of it inithe second
district.
Mr.. McCleary has walkaway in
the second district this year, as the
reappointment leaves the district
composed of counties, every one of
which has a Republican majority.

LEGISLATION AGAINST TRUSTS.

LEGISLATION AGAINST TRUSTS.
1t has been announced that the
president has selected Congressman
Chas. E. Littlefield of Maine to draft
and take charge of trust legislation in
the house next winter. Mr.. Little
field is a man of decided views as con-
Germs trust legislation and as his ideas
in that respect run along much the
same channel as those of the presi-
dents, it would not be surpris-
ing put that there was some founda-
ton for the report. Mr.. Littleield YVES
the author of an antitrust bill which
was introduced at the beginning of
last session. This was done it is said
after consultation with President
Roosevelt, and embodied many of his
views. However, nothing was done
with it, as it was never reported from
the committee to which it was refer
red. If the report as to the presi-
dents selection of the Maine congress
man to look after trust legislation is
true, it would indicate that concerted
action in the next session of congress
is being contemplated. This report
makes some features of Mr.. Little
fields bill of interest at this time.
1t declares that every contract COM
bjnation in the form of trust or other
wise, or conspiracy in restraint of
trade or Of commerce in any part of
the United States is illegal, particips-
ton in which shall be deemed a
crime, punishable by fine of not less
than $500 nor more than 30, 600, and
by Imprisonment for not less than six
months nor more than two years.
Every person who shall attempt to
monopolize or combine, or conspire
with others to monopolize, any part
of the trade or commerce with the
several states or with foreign nations
shall be deemed guilty of crime and
be subject to the punishment specified
above.
If any person believes his business
or property has been injured by any
such combination or conspiracy, he
may bring suit in any circuit court of
the United States, and shall recover
threefold the damages by him sus-
tanned.
ANY railroad or transportation COM
pany which shall knowingly transport
goods manufactured by trusts within
the meaning of this act shall be sub
ject to a penalty of not less than $500
nor more than So. 900, and any of its
officers or agents who shall receive
such goods for transportation within
the United States or to foreign coun-
try will be liable to similar fines, and
in addition, Imprisonment for from
one to six months.
In civil or criminal proceedings I'M
der this act no person shall be excused
from testifying or producing books,
contracts or agreements before the
courts on the ground that the testi-
mony required of him may tend to
incriminate MIN or subject him to
penalty. 80
Mr.. Little6eld's record on public
questions since he entered congress,
will greatly inspire public confidence
in any move which may be made I'M
der the direction of the administra
zion.
