Joker Gets Into the ToiIes of
the Law.
Fred. Carlstrcm, Who Took Some Ar.
ticIes From a Neishbor's Wagon
Is Arrested.

Fred Carlstrom, who leases Hum
phrey Robert s farm in Judson, and
who has lived in that township for
twenty years, was locked up by the
police Thursday on the charge of hav-
ing stolen articles to the value of
some $40 from the wagon of Ralph
Thurston, son of G. s. Thurston, who
has farm just across the river from
Jndson Carlstrom had bottle of
whisky with him and had been drink
ing good deal.
Mr. Thurston missed number of
articles from his wagon, which was
standing in front of g. Lulsdorf &
Son store, at seven o clock last eve
ming. These articles were buffalo
oveTcoat, robe, two blankets, whip
and a pair of mittens and two tugs
from the harness. When he discovered
his loss he reported it to the police
The latter soon discovered Carlstrom
wearing the buffalo coat. When he
saw the officers coming he started to
ruD, but was soon overtaken and lock-
ed mp. after Offering some resistance
at the door of the city hall His
wagon was later located around the
corner on Main street, and it contain
ed the other missing articles. These
were all taken to the city hall.
Carlstrom occupied a cell over
night. He claimed that he had taken
the articles as joke on young Thurs
ton, and admitted that he would not
have done it had he been sober. He
said that he and Mr.. Thurston are
neighbors and we'll acquainted, and
that Mr.. Thurston has frequently Dor
rowed articles on his farm without
asking. Noticing Mr. Thurston S
wagon, it entered his head to play d
joke on him AS it turned out other
people did not see the point to the
joke.
Carlstrom was very anxious to get
out this morning, as he said that mis-
wife was sick and he was needed at
home.
Mr.. Thurston procured warrant
charging Carlstrom with petit lar
ceDy.
Carlstrom was postmaster of Jud-
son for ten years, and was elected
justice of the peace but did no, quail
ify.
Carlstrom pleaded guilty to the
charge of petit larceny and paid a fine
of $40 and costs.

EXPERTS PLAN REALIZED.
Prof. Shepardson's Idea Of Lighting
Mankato Streets to Be Carried Out.

Supt VIM. Seeger of the American
Development company has had the
greater part of the post holes dug for
the new street lights, and the iron
posts are expected daily and will be
put mp in hurry when they arrive.
Little trouble has been experienced
in locating the lights where they will
illuminate the streets the best.
1t may be remembered that several
years ago. when the city secured the
services of Prof Shepardson of the
state university to prepare plans and
specifications for municipal lighting
plant that gentleman recommended
that the residence streets be lighted
by small lights placed closer together
rather than by great dazzling lights
set further apart The object of light
ing the streets, he said, was to find
one way around most readily, and
this was accomplished by smaller
lights set lower, beneath the foliage of
the trees, snd about half a block
apart. His plans provided for num-
Der of fifty candle power lights. The
plan adopted by the council for the
lighting Of the city almost exactly
carries out Prof shepardson's idea.
Sixty candle power lights will be
placed half block apart in the more
thickly settled portions of the city,
and a block apart elsewhere.

HER UNCLE'S WISH
This Young Woman is Glad She
Complied With Il.

There is q woman in New Hampshi ire
who can congratulate herself ON com
plying with request of her uncle. She
is Mrs. Ella Chaplin, of Claremont. Not
long ago she contracted anamia and
was in miserable condition till, at the
request of her uncle, she took DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People What
this wonderful remedy did for her is best
told in her own words:
''From long and constant caring for my
sick mother" she says g my system be-
came all rundown and, III the fall of
1897, realized that I was in a very poor
state of health. / was nervous and my
blood was thin and poor. [ had dizzy
spells and severe headaches, had no APP
petite and became so weak that I was
unable to do anything. The slightest
exertion made me short of breath and
faint.
This state of affairs continued for
year and l grew constantly worse. My
uncle heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at Springfield. and was
told ct some remarkable cures they had
accomplished, so he'got me supply. l
began taking them and in less than two
weeks could see a change for the bet
ter. continued their use and in short
time was cured
Mrs. Chaplin suffered from anamia,
disease caused by an actual deficiency of
the blood and Watery and depraved
state of that fluid. 1t is characterized
by pallid complexion, pale lips, dull
eyes, tongue and gums bloodless; short
ness of breath upon slight exertion-es-
pecially upon going up stairs; palpitation
of the heart, feeling of impending death,
weakness, loss of appetite and ambition.
If left to itself it is apt to result in de-
cline and death.
The one remedy that has proved itself
a specific for this disease is DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills,
taken in increasing doses, will never fail
to effect cure if used persistentlv for
reasonable length Of time They are also
an unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.

atism, nervous headache, the after-effects |
Of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale |

on the Chicago Great Western road,
met with an accident when near Clay

and suggested couple of minor
changes, one being that the track rnn

Geo. E. Blake opposed this. favoring
leaving the ordinance as it was. He
thought the line should run to the
picnic grounds at the park.
Mr.. Clark said that the railway
crossing at the park entrance stands
in the way of going into the park.

An amendment to section FIVE, pre-
pared by the city attorney, was adopt
ed. 1t provides that from a. m. until

prevented by some insurmountable
cause.
A. E. Clark offered suggestion
that was adopted, which prevents the
company operating cars propelled by
animals as well as by steam power.
Mr.. Clark said that Colonel Hort

days whether he will be able to carry
