THIS is FROM KANSAS.

Many remarkable stories are coming
from Kansas regarding the wonderful
corn crop. Some of them have their
humorous side, but this one, taken
from a little paper published near
Lees Summit, tells of tragedy such
as we'll may shock the whole corn belt ::
"The horrible news comes from
Blue Springs that near that town last
Saturday Willie MeKeagan climbed a
cornstalk to see how the corn was get
ting along, and the stalk is growing
up faster than the boy can climb down.
The boy is plumb out of sight Three
men have undertaken to cut down
the stalk with axes and save the boy
from starvation, but it grows so fast
that they can't hack twice in the
same place. The boy is living on
nothing but raw corn and has already
thrown down over four bushels of
cobs"
It is reported here that the stalk has
attained ..such dizzy height that the
cobs now catch fire and are consumed
before reaching the earth.

gang which committed the Fond du
Lac robbery committed burglaries and
robberies clear across the state of Wis

sentence here before being taken to
Wisconsin.
Price will be held here on q charge
of assault on the sheriff and be tried
during the October term of the dis
trict court.

Preparations to Prevent Illegal Fall
Shooting.

State game wsrdens will be equip
ped for the fall shooting season with
field glasses, so that they may detect
violations of the game law at long
range. Executive Agent s. F. Fuller
ton has supplied field galsses for the

field glasses last year, and they report
ed that the glasses helped them.
Mr.. Fullerton ia already preparing
for the fall shooting. The eight regu-
lar deputy game wardens connected
with the Office have received their in
structions, and many of the twenty

for the shooting season. In addition
to these, about fifty special wsrdens
have been appointed to serve without
compensation, except where actual
service is rendered.
These constitute the corps uader the
game warden in his effort to prevent

ANOTHER CARRIER.
Inspector Lance Looking Over the City
Free Delivery Routes.

Postofice Inspector Lance OF st.
Paul is devoting a couple of days in
this city to investigating the necessity
for an additional mail carrier for
Mankato. He is making a thorough
canvass of the present routes, and as
a result of his visit it is probable that
sections of the city that now have one
service day will hereafter have
two.
Mr.. Lance's visit Is due to petit
tion sent to Congressman McCleary
through Postmaster Hunt several
months ago. He is painstaking in
spector, and will undoubtedly find that
the situation warrants favorable re-
port. If the additional carrier is
allowed, he win start Oct. 1st.

REMINDER OF OUTBREAK.
Minnesota Valley Indian Massacre An
niVersary Occurs Monday Next.

Next Monday is the anniversary of
the Indian outbreak in the Minnesota
valley, and to commemorate the event
Hon. G. D. Gilfillan of st. Paul and
Gillian Siding, in Redwood county,
has caused to be issued booklet On
the monuments and tablets erected by
the Minnesota Valley Historical So
.ciety.
Mr.. Gil6llan has furnished pr acti-
cally all the means to sustain this 90
ciety and keep up the work OF mark
ing every spot made historical by. that
bloody tragedy.
He has placed a monument over the
grave of Hon. James W. Lynd, who
was the first man killed in the massa-
Gre, the grave being at the Lower
Agency, eight miles esst..of Redwood
Falls. MIR. Lynd was at that time a
clerk in a trading post, he having
come from the east to study the Indian
characteristics, and accepting this
position while engaged in his work.
A marker has been placed to designate
the site of Roberts trading post.
where Little Crow, the leader of the
murderous Indians, resided, and
where Myrick's trading post was To-
Gated, as we'll as that of Forbes Still
another marker shows where stood the
building in which upwards of 100
Sioux Indians were tried by court
martial. convicted and sentenced to
death, only thirty-seven or thirty
eight of which number, however,
were finally hanged at Mankato, Lin
coin pardoning the remainder.
monument has been erected to the
soldiers led by Capt Marsh, all of
whom were killed at Redwood Ferry.
Markers showing where Mah-ka-to and
his band attacked the whites, and
where Crazy Bird also attacked them
have been erected One of the most
memorable places marked is the site
of Camp Pope, north of this city,
from which Gen. Sibley conducted his
operations against the Indians.
The last view presented is the monu-
ment erected to friendly Indians at
Morton. Only five names are on this
monument at the present time, there
being such strife among the indians
near this place as to what names are
really entitled to place on this shaft.
Mr.. Gilfllan's efforts are greatly ap-
preciated by the people of.this section,
and his booklet is certainly an inter
esting account of the efforts of his
society in carrying out the work.

The Democrats expect to be able to
fill out the ticket as the result of next

has caused several parties to give
their unwilling consent to go on the
ticket. If these do not back out be-
fore the first of next week, their
names will. probably go on. the ballot.
The Republicans have made the times
so prosperous that Democrats can
hardly be dragged from their business

AUCTION DELAYED
Mandamus Proceedings to Be
Begun Tomorrow.
Asctioneer Levy Takes a Fall Out of
Attorney Long.---trnwds Vote
For License.

" The auction sale of jewelry and
books at F. G. Williams & Co. g store
did not commence Saturday evening"
as announced, because of the certainty
that the suctioneer, 8. s. Levy, would
be arrested for doing business without
license if he was to attempt to do
any such thing.
A. E. Clark stated today that man
damus proceedings would he started
tomorrow to compel the council to
grant license to the auctioneer, Mr..
Levy. The aldermen look upon this
as being the best way out of the mat
ter.
The store was crowded to its utmost
capacity Saturday evening, and the
crowd extended out onto the sidewalk.
Mr.. Levy addressed the people. ex-
planning that there would be no auc-
tion, but that there would be a special
sale in its place. He, said that it had
been considered best not to attempt to
start the auction without having a
license, until the courts had been ap-
pealed to. He thought that this
merely meant short delay.
Mr.. Levy handled Jay Henry Long,
attorney for the Merchants Protective
association, without gloves. he
proved to be a caustic speaker, and
answered Mr.. Longs arguments be-
fore the council. He resented the in
situation which Mr.. Long had made
as to his race, and referred to what
the people of his race had been in
early times and compared them with
Mr.. Longs ancestors.
Mr.. Levy stated the condition of
affairs, and then asked his hearers to
take vote on the question of whether
the council should have granted the
license. The vote was unanimous in
favor of granting the. license. except
for one sail boy, who piped out a
sh-ill ''no." The audience seemed to
be In sympathy with Mr.. Levy from
the way it applauded his uttersnces.
Mr.. Levy took occasion to refer to
one of the merchants who has been
active in opposing the granting of the
auctioneer's license. He held this
gentleman up in an uncomplimentary
light
Mr.. Levy said that certain gentle
men had said that they would make
him look like thirty cents, but that
before he was through with them he
would make them look like copper
cent with hole in it.
1t is learned that Mr.. Levy was at
st. Peter with stock of books last
week, which he sold at auction until
