WAS A MISTAKE.
Young Man Locked Up on Suspicion
Was Innocent.

At the request of a South FROM
street property owner, Officer Voge
locked young man up at 80
O'Clock Monday. The property own
er noticed the man hanging around
the house and feared that he had burg
larous intent. 1t developed that the
young man was simply waiting for a
relation of his whom he was visiting,
and who was calling ON the servant
girl at the house. The relative was
fascinated by the charms of the young
woman to such an extent that he dis
regarded the flight Of time.
The young man leaned against
telephone pole that decorated the
boulevard and f1irted mosquitoes away
with his pocket handkerchief until
an hour and half had passed, and as
his relative still did not appear he
concluded to go home alone. AS he
started to go he was arrested. The
property owner informed the police
that the young man had his hand
kerchief out for purposes of Irritation
with the domestic rather than the in
sects that infest the night air.
The young man occupied cell at
the city hall over night, and was re-
leased by Chief. Bowen in the morning,
as the property owner did not care to
enter complaint. The young man
threatens to make it warm for the
property owner. /

Go to Sleep by Machinery.

The wear and tear of modern life
makes it harder and harder for men
to go to sleep naturally. A number of
machines to induce sleep have been
patented. The Latest consists of a
band of metal encircling the head. A
branch strip extends to each eyelid
and by aid..of spring gently vibrates
against it. The best sleep producer as
yet found lis Golden Grain belt beer,
because it brings a quiet, restful
sleep that really refreshes 1t nourishes
the body and quiets the nerves. When
tired and overworked you will find
this beer wonderfully delicious and
refreshing. Most people like it with
their meals, for it is 80 delicious you
will forget it's tonic. Order of your
dealer or M. ]. Smith, Mankato.

COOK is WANTED.

with an Unpaid Board
Bill, Etc.

The city and county officials hav
been given a chase looking for G. j
| Cook, who has been in the city fo
four weeks taking orders for Chica
go picture charging house. He stop
ped at the Minneopa House and paic
for his board for the first two weeks.
Friday he borrowed $40 from Amos
Riley, the landlord, to get the pic,
lures from the express Office.
He did not get them until Saturday
night, and he distributed them Mon
day, collecting over $40, SO MIR. Riley
s1AnldCes. -s.---. - -.
Cook secured horse and buggy
from Martin Wiltgen Monday Morn
ing to distribute the pictures, saying
that he would not go outside of the
city limits. About six o'clock he re-
turned to the livery barn and said
That he would like the rig in hour
longer, to finish his work. This was
satisfactory and he drove away. This
was the last seen of him. AS he did
not return, both Messrs. Wiltgen and
Riley became suspicious and commun-
icated with the police and sheriff.
A search was instituted in all
directions, among others Deputy
Sheriff Albert Gerlich and Mr.. Wilt
gen going to st. Peter. There they
learned that Cook had left the horse
and buggy at Rice's livery stable to
be cared for, at about ten O'Clock.
When he drove into town he went to
the Omaha depot and asked when the
train lett for st. James. After put
ting the horse in the barn, he return
ed to the depot and bought ticket to
Worthington and is thought to have
boarded the IL p. m. train, which
took him back through Mankato.
Cook was accompanied to st. Peter
by painter named Church, of this
city, who purchased ticket to Win
dom. Church also stopped at the Min
neopa House, but his actions seem to
have been straight. Cook is short,
smooth faced man, and Church is tall
and has mustache. The deputy
sheriff had difficulty in getting teIe-
phone connection with Mankato, and
it was two O'Clock before he could
notify the local officials, who understood
that Cook was also captured and made
no further effort to get aim. He had
secured the assistance of policeman
az oL. PeUer and searched all the hotels
and could get no trace of Cook. Mr..
Gerlich returned to Mankato this
forenoon, and then started for Worth
ington. Mr.. Wiltgen remained in st.
Peter. 70. --- --.-- -
Later, Chief Bowen thought that he
had obtai ned a clue to Cooks where
abouts, and Gates Phillips went to St.
Peter to work on it.
Cook owed Mr.. Riley $12 for board,
besides the $40 which he borrowed
Friday.
The St. Peter policeman saw two
men walking down the Omaha track
toward Mankato at II p. m. They
are suspected to have been Cook and
Church.
Mr. .Wiltgen procured warrant for
Cooks arrest. charging him with
grand larceny in the second degree, in

Constipation is not only one of the
chief causes of appendicitis but also
the starting point for nearly all dis
cases. Nature demands that your
bowels move at least once a day. II
they do not, something is wrong.
People whose bowels are kept in "a
perfectly healthy condition are not
only free from constipation but they
are kept strong and hearty and so are
able to Withstand any disease that
otherwise would prove serious or
fatal. DR.. Adler's treatment cures
constipation, even the first few doses
bring wonderful relief. Its very
pleasant taste and certain laxative
properties acting without gripping or
pain of any kind, all combine to make
it the ideal remedy for constipation.
A large Is ounce ibottle of DR.. Adler
treatment will be sent by express pre-
paid for one dollar. DIR. Adler's illus
trated booklet telling why constipation
is one of the chief causes of appendi-
citis. will be mailed free on request.

take the North Western train for a

wanted to take had gone. He then
also discovered that his old mileage
book containing several So and $40
bills was gone.
Mr.. Meyer had carried the book in
his inside coat pocket, partially in

in the crowd. Thinking that he
might have dropped it in the Car. he
telegraphed the conductor, but the
latter was unable to find it.
