APPLES CHEAPER
Winter Apples Are Promised at
$3.50 Per Barrel.
Peaches Are Also an Immense Crop
This Year---A Talk With H. R.
Kurth.

H. r. Kurth returned home Satur.
day night from a trip through eastern
Nebraska, Missouri and western Iowa.
He states that the apple crop is i'm
mense and the apples raised this year
are of fine quality. They are free
from worms, which is the opposite of
their condition last year.
Mr.. Kurth states that the apples are
the best ever seen in Nebraska. The
summer apple crop is mostly gathered,
and includes such varieties as the
maidenblush. strawberries, wealthies,
summer wine saps and summer rus
sets. Mr.. Kurth brought back car
load of these They are fine eating
apples.
With regard to winter apples, Mr..
Kurth states that the crop of this kind
is also heavy. He expects that winter
apples will sell in Mankato for So. 90
a barrel the coming fall, as against
81 and even higher last fall.
The apple crop in all parts of the
country is the best since 1895, and
the Michigan crop is the best of all.
The peach crop is also heavy. In
Michigan, this crop is the best since
the state was admitted to the union.
In Nebraska, the crop is light. but in
parts of Missouri 1t is the biggest ever
had there.
Housewives are promised a food of
big, luscious peaches in September,
that will be fine for canning.

SYRIAN TROUBLES
Naiff Abba and Charley Abood
Are at War.
Warrants Issued For the Arrest oil
Abood and His Two Cousins.
Threats to Kill and Burn.

There is trouble among the SYRIAN
again, and they were thick about thu
city hall this afternoon.
Naiff Aida stated to a Free Pres.
reporter that several days ago Charley
Abood came at him and struck him in
the eye, making serious threats at the
same time. Aida then picked up a
club and knocked Abood down.
Abood picked himself up and ran
away. Aida thought it good time
to go visiting among his friends on
James avenue, where he stayed three
hours. While he was there, Abood and
his two cousins came to his house on
North Front street and searched all
through it, making dire threats
against him and badly frightening his
sister, who is in delicate condition.
Aida today got out peace warrant
against Abood, charging that he had
threatened to kill Aida and burn his
building. He wants Abood pat under
bonds to maintain the peace.
Mike Grigere, who is the husband
of Abda's sister, procured warrant
at the same time for the arrest of
Charley Abood, Calhil Abood and
Henry Joseph, on the charge of disor-
derby conduct. He claims that yester-
day they pushed their way through
his house in boisterous manner.
The warrants are in the hands of
the police and will be served this af-
ternoon. W. L. Comstock represents
Abba and his bTother-in
Like Gen. Jacob Smith, of Philip
pine fame, Abood's alleged utterances
in reference to killing and burning
may prove to be his undoing. How
ever, he will probably have something
to say to the court, as every case has
two sides among the Syrians. The
chief difficulty is to get at which is
right, when both sides are positive
and the witnesses are excitable.

SOME REASONS.
Why Mankato Should Follow This
Valuable Advice.

Because the proof is in Mankato.
You can thus investigate the claims.
When investigated they will prove
satisfactory.
1t demonstrates that theory gives
way before facts.
Mr.. I. B. Hinton of 1876 Division
street, says: 81 suffered from distress
ing backache. pain in my head and a
feeling of languor and depression
mornings weighted me down. 1 doc
tored and paid out much money for
treatment without obtaining any bene-
fit and 1 was completely discouraged.
Even after reading the many state
ments endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills
I was not much inclined to use them
but finally procured a box at J. G.
Thro's. It benefited me so promptly,
relieved the kidney secretions and the
dull, grinding backache 80 unmistak-
sbly that 1 followed up the treatment.
1t did me more good than any other
remedy I ever used. The results OBJ
tanned in my case warrant me in
recommending Dosn's Kidney Pills
to others. "

poets Arrested at Waseca, MINI.
Waseca, Mimi, Aug. 11.-Much ex-
element still prevails as result Of
the duel between Sheriff Frank Col
Inns and the desperate Saturday and
the subsequent man hunt conducted by
the sheriff's posse, which resulted in
the fellows capture in swamp to-
gether with his two pals, who were
captured by another posse, headed by
Chief of Police McGonough. He Is
lying in the county Jail suffering from
bis wounds and awaiting information.
A telegram from Sioux City, Ia,
develops that three men are wanted
there for recsnt Jail breaking and Of
ficers from that place will come here
to view the prisoners. It is not
thought that they are the parties
wanted there, inasmuch as they bear
no marks of recent incarceration. 1t
Is plainly evident that the men are
much more desperate than the or
binary criminals and the fact that
they arrived in this city from the east
lends strength to the train robbery
theory.

FROM OTHER SANCTUMS
Farm trust impossible :

Farm trust impossible:
At recent Old Home gathering in
one of the New England states ex-
Governor Boutwell, delivered an ad-
dress in the course of which he said
"Farmers tell me that it is hard to
make both ends meet, and 1 am glad
of it." In explanation of this sur
prising sentiment Mr.. Boutwell, de-
clared his belief that if farming were
a profitable industry syndicates of
capitalists would buy all the agricul-
tural lands and reduce the present
owners to the condition of tenants and
hired men. This view seems pessi-
mistic and narrow. To make money
out of farming in New England may
be uphill work, but the vast farms OF
the west and southwest are fortune
makers for many of their owners.
Why don't the capitalists buy them up
and establish big agricultural trust
Simply because such an undertaking
would be 100 colossal for serious con-
sideration. Mr.. Boutwell, seems in
clined to look on the dark side of
things. This is not the first evidence
of his development in that direction.

College education no bar to success

and assuming that inclusion in"Who's

drawn conclusions that ought to set q,
rest the wagging heads of those who
decry college education on the theory
that it is a bar to success, or, to pu,
1t bluntly, to profitable notoriety. HI

BURIED IN THE CELLAR.
Body of Mrs. Annie Bartholin Found
in Her Chicago Home.


Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE body of Mrs.
Annie Bartholin, who, it is believed,
was murdered by her son, William
Bartholin, also wanted for killing his
sweetheart, Minnie Mitchell, was
found in the basement of her home at
4310 Calumet avenue.
The remains were wrapped in a
quilt and were in fair state OF
preservation. While no official ex-
animation has yet been made to de,
termine the immediate cause of death,
there is a sufficient number of bruises
upon the corpse to prove that she had
received, prior to her death, beat.

She evidently had been pounded
viciously with heavy club. The con-
crete floor of the cellar had been re
moved and beneath it a hole deep

bravely and well, and although they were few

The British say that they were victorious

the result so there seems to be good cause for
rejoicing on both sides England gives the
Beers $15O000OO to restore conditions of peace
and will aid in the establishment of civil gov

The military administration of the Transvaal

possible date be succeeded by a civil govern
ment; and, SO soon circumstances permit,
representative institutions leading up to self
government Will be introduced"
And now, after all the bloodshed, will the

THE HOPI, OF ARIZONA, LIVE AMONG
CLIFFS TO AVOID WARLIKE
NEIGHBORS.

The Hopi tribe Of Indians at home in the
northeastern part of Arizona. The name of the
tribe signifies people of peace and the man
of the Hopis life shows that the name was
properly bestowed. Their homes and habits are
described in THE Four Track News by a
writer, who says:
"These peculiar people are not only peaceable
among themselves, but have sought their pres
ent isolated abodes, among the cliffs and peaks
in that comparatively barren section, in their
persistent efforts to get beyond the range of
their warlike neighbors that they might dwell
in peace, asking only to be let alone"
Nearly all other Indians exclude whites from
their villages and settlements when they prac-
tise their peculiar religious rites. but the Hopi
invite the white people to witness their snake
and antelope dances. They do not drink ire
water" but are very fond of sweets and to-
baccO.
The homes of these Indians made of mud
and stone, with large cottonwood beams The
ceilings are formed of willow and a top layer or
mud. From the centre of the ceiling a feather
is suspended by a string, and this is regarded as
the soul of the house. All Indians are looked
upon as deficient to sense of humor, ana
many of them never laugh. The Hopi dlffer
