SURVEYORS AT WORK.
Omaha Road Desires to StraighteE
the Curve at South Bend.

Surveyors for the Omaha road have
been at work in South Bend village
for two weeks, running lines in an
effort to find a feasible way to
straighten out the curve in the track
there. If the curve can be straighten-
ed out it will probably be accomplish
ed by deep rock cut, which would
PROBABLY mean an overhead crossing at
the wagon road.
The Omaha road has been at work
for two years, Strengthening out the
curves in its line between Mankatc
and st Paul, and the work at South
Bend is simply carrying out its policy
Curves are expensive, as they moi
only cause loss of time but require
much greater horse power in the en-
gines, and are hard on rolling stock
If the line was free from sharI
curves, all the trains could be oper
ated much faster and more economi
cally

TWO INDICT MENTS
August Loffelmacher Pleads
Not Guilty.
He is Charged With Trying to Blow
Up a Threshing Maching and
Barn Burning.

Two indictments were returned
against August Loffelmacher in the
district court at st. Peter Friday
afternoon. One charges him with hav-
ing placed an explosive substance in a
structure, and the other charges him
with arson in the third degree, in set
ting fire to Frank Keinlen' s barn some
time ago.
Loffelmacher was arraigned on both
indictments, and pleaded not guilty
to each. Both cases were continued
until the next term of court, which
will be held in May The bond was
placed at 81, 900, and the defendant
has until next Monday to furnish it.
w. E. Young was present when
Loffelmacher was arraigned. The in
dictment on the arson charge was
somewhat of surprise, as John A.

tive Coleman, who figured as wit.
ness in the Seefeld barn burning case
in this county, when the men charged
by Coleman with setting the fire were
acquitted. Coleman also figured in the
Tanke case.
The indictment charging Loffel
macher with placing an explosive sub
stance in a structure relates to the at
tempt to blow up Vinegar & Man

CHEESEMAKING EXPERT.
Commissioner Mcconnell to Engage
One for Minnesota.

w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy
and food commissioner, is planning
an active crusade to improve the
grade of cheese made in Minnesota.
Although Minnesota ranks first in the
markets of the world and is not ex-
celled in quality by the product of any
state or country, Minnesota cheese is
not uniform.
The conditions in Minnesota are
most favorable to the production OF
cheese of a high grade, and the trou-
BILE seems to be in defective methods
of che csc making. Many years ago the
cheesemakers of the state began to
make hard, strong cheese, whereas
the public now demands mild, soft
cheese. The result is that Minnesota
cheese does not claim the price 1t
should, although Minnesota cheese has
a world wide reputation.
Mr.. Mcconnell proposes to secure a
thoroughly practical cheesemaker from
some region noted for its cheese, such
as Wisconsin or Pennsylvania. He
will secure one of the best men that
can be found and bring him to Min
nesota to show cheesemakers how to
get the products that demands the
highest price in the market.
The plan is to have the cheese ex-
pert travel through the state, spending
few days at each cheese factory,
showing the cheesemakers in practi-
cal way how to utilize their material
SO as to secure a product of the high
est grade. The expert will then know
exactly the material with which each
cheesemaker has to work and the con-
ditions that confront him. st. Pau

THE INHERITANCE TAX.
Amount to Be Refunded in Blue Earth
County is 1884.

The action of the supreme court in
declaring the Inheritance tax law
unconstitutional will result in the re-
turning of several hundred dollars to
estates that have been probated in this
county during the last year or two.
The amount of taxes paid by various
estates in Blue Earth county under
this law has been $684.97. The tax
goes to the state, and it may require
legislation to get it returned. The
county does not receive any of this
tax, and will not have to refund any
thing.
About SO, 900 has been paid into the
state treasury under the assumption
that the law was valid. This must
be refunded.
