ORIGINALITY THAT PAID.
The Cabman With a Fine Rig Was
Waiting for His Customer.


Originality with cabmen gives them
about the same measure of success
as is acquired in any other business.
A traveller who alighted at New Ha.
ven few days ago was surprised as
he walked out on the platform to see
a fine rig dash up toward him and to
hear a we'll dressed and polite cabby
say as he touched his hat: How do
you do, sir? have been waiting for
YOU"
'Why how is that?' exclaimed the
visitor. Il came out here to look for
scent carriage
"Oh, if that's the case, you'll find
them over there" added the cabby
pointing to the trolley cars, "but I'll
carry you more comfortably and it'll
only cost you a quarter"
well, if that's the case, and you've
been waiting for me, would be sorry
to disappoint you, and guess III have
to let you take me up in the town,
and the visitor climbed into the hack
while the bright cabby cracked his
whip gleefully as he ratified up the

FREE FARMS IN CANADIAN NORTH
WEST.

To the small farmer or renter in the
crowded portions of the United States,
the opportunity to secure farm in the
fertile Saskatchewan valley of western
Canada is one that comes a very few
times in lifetime. The agricultural
conditions out there are very satisfac-
tory indeed. The land is fertile, large
crops of wheat can be raised and live
stock thrive. The Saskatchewan Valley
Land company, limited, 305 Jackson,
street, st. Paul, Mimi, has colonization
scheme with the Canadian government
to locate on the land a limited number
of settlers. All that settler has to
pay is he.homestead fee of $40. 1t will
pay every farmer looking for home to
investigate this matter and write at once
to this company. The present arrange
ment will be withdrawn before very
long and the man who acts promptly
will be the one who will secure farm of
l60 acres practically free.
This company is thoroughly reliable
and what it says can be depended upon.
Do not wait, but send in your request
for full information at once-Orange

.TANKE IN COUNTY JAIL
Brought to Mankato Today From St.
lanes BY Sheriff Forsyth.
He Denies Any Regard For the Woman
Who Testified For Him.
Has Hopes of New Trial, or Failing
That, a Pardon.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

from SATURDAY Dallv.
Tanke, the condemned murderer of
Wellner, was brought to the city today
by Sheriff Forsyth of st. James and was
lodged in the county jail, where he will
remain until the motion of his attorney
for new trial has been disposed of.
1t is expected that he will remain in
the county Jail twenty-five days. He
will go to prison for life.
Sheriff Forsyth turned Tanke over to
Sheriff Williams at the depot and went
on to Saltwater with Mrs. Tanke, who
was brought to st. James as a witness
in her husbands behalf. The sheriff
was accompanied by his daughter, Miss
Pearl Forsyth. Mrs. Tanke is much
brighter than her husband.
When seen at the county Jail this af-
ternoon by Free -ess reporter, Ianke
was conversing with other prisoners.
He did not seem in the least cast down
by his second conviction. He declared
that he thought that he would be grant
ed new trial. He said that he did not
at any time have any fear of being hung,
as the evidence against him was merely
circumstantial
When asked whether it was true that
he had shown no pleasure on seeing Mrs.
Tanke at st. James, he said that he did
not care about her any more as it was
her fault that he was now in Jail. He
expects sometime to be pardoned out of
Saltwater, he said.
Tanke is not very prepossessing APP
pearing man. His face does not express
much intelligence He is twenty five
years of age, and his wife is thirty four
He was born and raised in New Ulm,
and says that he never was in Mankato
before.
Mrs. Tanke's affections appear to have
been utterly wasted upon Tanke, who
shows absolutely no regard for the wo-
man who was so infatuated with him
that by her own confession she killed
her husband, and then confessed to the
deed in order to save him from punish
ment as an accomplice.

WILL RETIRE GEN. BEND.
Bill to Limit Terms of Officers of the
National Guard.
From Saf1,rdav,a nai1v

| . $500 $1,000 - S>se~sJs
The senate bill to limit the terms of
officers of the national guard to ten
years, commonly known as the bill to
legislate Brig. Gen. Bend out of office,
will affect several other officers as well,
as soon as it is signed by the governor.
1t is expected that the bill will be ap-
proved, as it passed both houses with
practical unanimity.
Brig. Gen. William B. Bend, St. Paul,
has already served more than ten years
and his office will Immediately become
vacant The same thing is true of the
following officers:
Col Charles Nee. Reeve, Minneapolis,
First regiment.
Col. Joseph Bobleter, New Ulm, Second
regiment.
Lieut.. Col. George w. Mead, Mankato,
Second regiment.
Lieut.. Col. c. E. johnson, Mankato,
Third regiment.
As soon as the bill becomes law, it
will be the duty of Adj. Libbey to call
meeting of all commissioned officers
all from second lieutenant up-to elect
a new brigadier general. The other va
cancies will be filled by the officers of the
respective regiments.
One of the national guard officers,
speaking of the probable results, said
today:
81 have no doubt that Col. Bobleter of
the Second regiment, will be elected bril-
gadier general. In fact no other name
has been mentioned.
"The place of colonel of the Second
will be filled, L believe, by the election
of Maj. A. W. Wright of Austin.
"Col. Reeve and Lieut.. Col. Johnson
will be reelected, in all probability, but
it is whispered that Lieut.. Col. Mead will
not be chosen to succeed himself"
The various vacancies and promotions,
which cause more vacancies, will make a
considerable shake-up in the Second regi-
ment organization, but will not material
ly affect any of the others.-St. Paul

MISS KENNEDY'S CASE
WHY SHE LEFT HER STUDIES AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Every Mother of Growing Girl Will he
Interested in the Story as Told by the
Young Lady Herself.

Every Mother of a Growing Girl VIII he
Interested in the Story Told by the
Young Lady Herself.
The circumstances under which Ber-
tina Kennedy was taken from her studies
in the high school will be of interest to
all mothers of growing girls. Miss
Kennedy said to a reporter
"When was fourteen years old L be-
gan to decline in health on account of a
suppression of the natural functions of
my sex, and I am sure would never
have been the healthy girl / am now If
it had not been for DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. was entirely
without color, thin as rail, nervous
and irritable, tired and lifeless and in q
seriously low state of health in general.
Although a good doctor was treating
me, he failed to do any good and my
parents felt very much alarmed about
me.
81 was taken from the high school on
account of my poor health, but continued
to grow worse. Then 1 began to take
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and with the
first few doses began to feel better. Four
boxes brought about the desired result
and a few boxes more restored me entirely
to health. Now / have good color, am
strong and active and have not seen a
sick day from that time to the present. !"
Miss Kennedy lives at Canton juno
ton, Mass, and both she and her mother
are willing to verify the above state
ment.
The trouble with which Miss Kennedy
was afflicted often causes severe head
ache, loss of appetite, pale or sallow
complexion, palpitation of the heart,
swollen ankles or legs, nervousness, Of
fensive breath, etc., etc. The sufferer
may exhibit one or more of these symp-
toms, or may have all. They simply in
dictate the ravages disease has made upon
the system, and the more of these symp-
toms the patient shows the greater the
necessity for prompt and persistent
treatment, until they have been BAN
ished and the bloom of health is restored.
To accomplish this end, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are the only
unfailing remedy. They positively cure
all impressions and Irregularities,
which, If neglected, inevitably entail
sickness and trouble.
