HE LOST HIS ROLL
Farmer Peterson Robbed of
Sixty Dollars.
Cannot Remember How 1t Happened
But Thinks That He
Was Doped.

Charles M. Peterson, a farmer living
near Porter, station on the Chicago
q North Western road in the western
part of the state, was robbed of $50 or
more while on his way to the twin
cities Monday afternoon to attend
the state fair. He got off the 4:45 D.
m. train at Mankato. and remained
over in the city today.
According to Mr. Petersons' story, he
formed the acquaintance Of three men
on the Chicago g North Western train,
who sat about him. One of them
offered him drink from bottle Of
whisky, and he says that he took two
drinks in all from the bottle. He
does not know that these men robbed
him, but the police think that this is
likely. He claims to have been doped,
and does not know when his money
was taken. He had $50 in bills in his
purse, besides something over 81 in
change in another pocket. He knows
that the $50 was taken and the purse
left in his pocket, but he does not
know whether any of the other money
was taken. He had only one or two
dollars left this morning
Peterson related his story to the
police this morning. He was still un-
der the influence of liquor. and was
allowed to lie down and sober off at
the city hall. He drank more liquor
after getting on the train and may
have lost his money in this city, as
parties frequenting some of the saloons
are not above, going through a |
drunken strangers pocket 10 4" ora
Peterson appears to be an d honest,
1ard- working farmer, and is neatly
dressed. He announced his determin-
stion to send for more money, and
20 to the fair. He has a round trip
ticket to Porter, He does not have a
'ery good recollection, He said today
hat he did not know that he had been
obbed until this morning, but it is
;nown that he told one of the police
nen last night that he had been rob-
ed. His clothes bear good many
resh blood stains, which he seems to
q at loss TO account for. g4rar..... 81

Was on the Train That Was Wrecked
'azoi"o7 By a Cyclone, lg"H ABB ..a7

A. @. Meyer learned Tuesday sf-
ternoon that his second son, August,
aged fourteen years, was on the train
that was wrecked by a cyclone near
Meridian Saturday evening. The lad
had been visiting his uncle at Owa-
tonna for a couple of weeks, and was
on his way home. He was somewhat
injured and was taken to Waseca,
where another uncle lives. This uncle
drove him back to 0watonna. and
neither one informed Mr.. Meyer of his
sons accident. When he learned about
it, he called up his brother at Waseca
by telephone, and was informed that
the boy would be able to come home
the latter part of the week. Mr.. Meyer
took the afternoon train to Owatonna
A report from Winona is to the
effect that Conductor Kinzie, who was
in charge of the train that was wreck
ed at Meridian Saturday, is doing
nicely. raw on bed 8a tlfHA WOW

We notice that Professor T. ". Sim

deed a very worthy man for that
position. He attended normal insti-
tute in this county some years ago,
and ever since we learned to know
Frank SimmondS we have had the
profoundeSt respect for his sincerity
and honesty of purpose. He is be-
sides, fine scholar-the result of his
habits of studiouSness-one OF the
leading teachers of Smith county.
Mr.. Simmonds has been engaged as a
regular contributor to the Normal
Instructor published at Danville N.

The Phillips county teachers who
know Mr.. Simmonds all hope he may
be nominated and elected knowing
that the schools under his supervision
would be in good hands.

Success OF Wen known Teacher.


This is what an Atchison paper says
of Prof. L. E. Payne. who about
twelve years ago instructed i'll the
Phillips county normal Institute:
''Prof. L. e. Payne, head of the de-
partment of mathematics of the
Kansas state normal school who
lectured before our institute last
August, has been engaged to give a
three weeks lectures on Methods in
Arithmetic and Algebra in the
National ChantauQua Association
summer school of Colorado, to be held
in the Garden of the Gods about three
miles from the foot of Pixies Peak.
This is great compliment to Prof.
Payne as it came unSought and the
managers had the entire country from
which to choose. However his sue
cess is merited, as he has few equals
and no superiors anywhere in his line
of work. The advisory board of this
association has as its head Hamilton
w. Mabie, editor of the Outlook, and
his colleagues are all men Of national
reputation. 1t is expected that this
association will be the greatest of it's
kind in the country and the friends
of Prof. Payne in Monroe county re-
joice to hear of his continued success. :"
