AS a Tissue Builder.

While the potato is rated as a tissue
builder, its value for this purpose must
not be over-estimated for the reason that
all the heterogeneous matter present is not
in the form of proteid. Less than 30 per
cent of the whole amount OF the nitroge-
nous matter Of the potato is contained in
the proteids; the remainder being pres
ent in the form OF ammonia compounds
and salts.
The potato that is "waxy'' when
cooked is richer in proteids. for the coag-
ulated proteid holds together. Young po-
tatoes are noticeably more waxy and
solid. as they contain more juice and
less starch. The uniformed starch and
immature cell-tissues Of the new potato
make them rather unsafe if eaten indis-
criminately. The richness Of the potato
in starch-it contains from IS 10 1s per
cent-makes II of great commercial value
for many purposes other than food. While
potatoes are no more deserving Of cen
domination than other food substances.

conditions on account Of their aptness t.

BOUGHT "HELLO" MATERIAL.

ID. l.. Williams OF Cambria, one of the
directors of the Minnesota Valley Farm
ers' Mutual Telephone company of South
Bend, was in the city for a few hours
Saturday. While here he informed The
Review that his company would soon be-
gin upon the work of building the pro-
posed line. Last week they purchased
their wire, poles and other materials
il st. Paul and the actual construc-
ton work will be begun within ten days.
When completed the ''hello" line will
be upwards of 200 miles in length and
$50 subscribers have already pledged
themselves to adopt the service. The
first outlay will be heavy, the cost of
construction averaging about $l2O per
mile, and to meet it every subscriber
has been assessed the sum of S35. 1t is
expected that the number of subscrib-
ers will greatly increase after the line
has been in operation for a time.-New

BRIDGE TAKES A TUMBLE.
Steel Structure in Minneapolis Gives
Away With Bad Results.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The approach to the steel arch bridge
in Minneapolis collapsed yesterday at
$3.50, swapping two of the large steel sup.
ports beneath as though they had been
matches, and burying the rear end af a

ham of Minneapolis. who was standing
near the rear of the train, was injured
by the falling debris. He was the only
person hurt.
1t was the narrowest possible escape
form terrible catastrophe. The salvation
OF an Eighth avenue car, which was pas.
ing over the approach when it began to
cave, is due to the GOODNESS of the motto
neer, who threw on his emergency switch
and shut off the danger erea at a high
speed An instant after the car had
passed to safety the roadway for thirty
feet square fell with a crash to the plat
form below.
The bridge has undoubtedly been
weakened by the heavy traffic that con-
stantly passes over it. Four months age
the approach was found to be settling.
1t sank nearly eight inches in an hour
one afternoon, and all street car traffic
was temporarily suspended pending re-
pairs. These We're made during the night
by wrecking crew and the bridge APP
proach was thought to be safe. The
city engineers declare that there were
no apparent indications of weakness.
The first collapse of the approach was
caused by a freight train leaving the
track beneath and knocking out a couple
of pillars. 1t is now believed that the
damage sustained in the collision was
greater than at first appeared.
The Eighth avenue car which so mar
rowly escaped disaster was crowded with
passengers. Most of those on board were
women and children. The rear end of the
car was still on The approach when the
crash came.
The entrance to the union station is
blocked with debris and a large force of
men is employed in removing it. The
work will occupy all night. Meanwhile
railway traffic through the union depot
will be blocked and there can be no rail-
way traffic via the steel arch bridge.
1t is believed that repairs will have been
made within thirty-siX hours so that
traffic can be resumed.-St. Paul Globe.

TILTED BY A, WOMAN.
Cause of Ed hannafin's Unfortunate
Condition.-Brother's Statement
From Thursdays Daily

From thursdays Daily.
William Hannafin of Madelia came to
Mankato last night to see his brother,
Ed Hannafin, who was brought in from
Lake Crystal, and whose mental facul-
ties are diseased. From what the bro
Their stated it would seem that Eds
troubles were brought on more than
six years ago and were due to the cap
rice of woman with whom the young
man was in love. She Tilted him. For
five years he was an inmate of hospi-
tai at Independence, Iowa, and about a
year ago was discharged apparently
cured. For two months past he made his
home with his brother, who owns a farm
near Madelia. Tuesday night Ed left
his brothers place, but his departure
was not discovered until yesterday
morning. The two brothers on Tuesday
night were talking together until short
ly before nine o'clock when William re-
turned to bed and supposed Ed had done
likewise. 1t appears that Ed walked
from Madelia to Lake Crystal that night
and made away with the team as relat-
ed in The Free Press last evening. The
brother stated that two weeks ago he
noticed that Ed was acting queerly, but
did not suspicion his condition to be
so serious. Ed will be taken to Iowa
on Friday.
Last evening the unfortunate man
told Sheriff Williams that his home was
in heaven, and that he had the tools
with which to break in.

SPECIAL AGENT AT WORK,
Compiling Statistics Of Counties For
Government.
From Thursdays Daily.

Piom IuuISudy Ddlly.
l.. Z. Herr, special agent of the cen
sus department was in Mankato today
looking over the statistics of the county
auditors office and those of the city re-
corder. The figures compiled by Mr..
Herr are those of the receipts and disbur-
sements and they will be sent on to
Washington where they will he put into
book form for distribution. The census
department is making compilation of
receipts and disbursements of every
county in the United States and of every
| city of 5000 population and over. Mr..
Herr says that Minnesotas country au-
ditors have uniform system of book
keeping, due no doubt to the state super
vision, and this makes the work of COM
|pilation very easy. Mr.. Herr paid Coun-
Ity Auditor Weaver a neat compliment
by stating that he found the documents
in his office in very excellent shape,
making it hardly unnecessary for him to
come here. The abstract is carried out
in full and in convenient form. In fact
in no county in the state has he found
things in better shape.
There are in the United States 1900
counties and thirty-fve special agents
are at work. Mr.. Herr expects to COM
plete his labors in Minnesota in less than
six weeks.
The volume containing these figures
will be issued next March,
Mr.. Herr was a close friend of the late
j. T. Williams when the latter was GUS
todian of the bureau of printing and
engraving in Washington.

BLIND MAY SEE.
One of the Possibilities Suggested in
the New Element Polonium.
from Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Polonium, the new element, which was
exploited in series of most interesting
experiments by Professor w. Markwald
before the Chemical congress in Berlin, is
really the discovery of Nine. Currie, a
Polish woman, who, with her husband,
gave radium to the world. She is recog-
nized as among the truly great pioneers
of chemistry.
Scientists understand too little of the
marvellous properties of this new element
to venture more than vague predictions
of what sphere of future usefulness it
may fill, but it is not improbable that it
may be found to perform the present
functions of the so-called Roetgen or X
rays for more powerfully and without
the cumbrous apparatus now essential
to their use.
By use of polonium the blind, it is be-
licved, may be made to see. In a much
higher degree even than radium it pos
sesses the property of shining in the
dark, although it is known that actual
particles, enthusiastically small, are be-
ing shot out from it continually,
fact which is proved by magnetic ex-
periments, this strange substance does
not seem to exhaust itself nor to lose
its luminous power with the passage of
time. Here, therefore, is a hint at least
of the future possibility of a constant
and brilliant illuminant generated with
cut heat or combustion.

dress of the evening, Rev. John E. Bush
nell of Minneapolis was the speaker, and
his theme was "The Higher Fellowship
He spoke of all the, forces that have
been at work to make our present race
noble; how we are the result of the
past-the elimination of all that history
has furnished to make men. He cited the
claims so commonly advanced as requis-
lite to the higher walks in life; wealth,
polish, clothes, education, and said that
ali these, if without faith and sincere
love for God and our fellow man, fail
ed to bring a man into the true higher
fellowship, which is to make the world
better and to make each individual a
higher type. He who goes out of HIM
self to fight the great battle of his fell

uplifting and the equality of man; who
finds his. life worth living because it is
a stepping stone to higher and ever
lasting life; who does his duty as he
thinks God sets it before him; such are
the comrades of the higher fellowship.
In conclusion, the speaker exhorted his
hearers to Give large life, free from
petty aspirations, but full of the great
and good things which tend to people our
world with nobler men and women-the
clean things, the brave things, for good
and all that helps to lift earth up and
to bring heaven closer to u.s."
