Joseph Single has been practically ap-
pointed the guardion of Alfred and Man
uel johnson, the two North Mankato
boys whose parents have both been
recently committed to the insane asylum
at st. Peter. County Attorney Stone took
the initiative in this matter and filed the
petition with Probate Judge Henry Moll.
Mr.. Single has taken an intense in
terest in the boys and has ever been
ready to do all he could for the unfortu-
nate family. The sons certainly need
and have long needed some competent
person to look after them. Mr.. Single
wants these boys, especially the younger,
to obtain some schooling. The judge told
him to proceed to take care of the boys
and their property Immediately although
the appointment does not legally go in
to effect until the day after Christmas.
Both are good boys and splendid work
ers and with little timely effort may
yet be guided into lives of success and
happiness. Both have for a long time
past been accustomed to work for the
neighboring gardeners and farmers and
have always given the best of satisfac-
ton to any person employing them. The
boys are still living in the little house
next to the brickyard, the old family
home. Here the family owns about an
acre of land, and the house with little
furniture, the whole property amounting
to about $780, Peter johnson, their
father also left with them the sum of
$43. All of this property has been plac-
ed in the trust of Mr.. Single. MIR.
Single will employ the oldest boy in the
brickyard. A meeting at st. Peter has
been arranged between a representative
of the county board and the younger
boy and his guardian, at which meet
ing arrangements will probably be made
to send this boy off to school.

Again.

From Thursdays Daily.
Henry Larson was let out of the coun-
ty Jail yesterday and managed to get
rid of $ll during the day to acquire a
jag that was wonder to his compan-
ions. At about three o'clock this morning
he broke in the back door of the Syrian
merchant, Joe Buschiri's residence on
North Front street, and after demolish-
ing a rocking chair wound up his spree
by falling or lying across the foot of the
bed where Buschiri and his wife were
sleeping soundly Mrs. Buschiri was the
first to awaken, and she aroused her
husband, who proceeded to throw Lar
son to the floor and 'poke his face" Lar
son refused to give an account of him
self and the police were summoned, and
Officers Bienapf and Vogel took him to
the lookup.
This morning Larson was charged with
drunkenness, second offense, and was
fined 500, in default of which he was
committed to the county Jail for forty
days. He will be an addition to the

its phenomenal chronological collection

HOW TO STOP LYNCHING

No white woman in the negro belt
dare traverse the public highway
alon while on the other hand, any ne

to Texas alone, on foot unmolested,
in absolute safety, says Harper's
Weekly. The white farmers wife
sits at home in fear and trembling,
even though herhusband may be work
ing in a neighboring field This in
security has had a disastrous effect
on agricultural prosperity; because
of it thousands and thousands OF
farmers have left the rural districts
for the towns and cities The writer
in the Sun declares that if Justice
Brewer and his popular uprising
will find remedy to stop the as
saults up the white women, so that
they can have freedom of the high
way, or enjoy peace and safety in
their homes, thousands upon thous-
ands of families will go back instant

how shall white women be protected?
1t is question, moreover. which the

the Civil War, and organized them

TO undo this work, if it can. and to

them, or cooperate in a movement

PLAYING FOR DELAY.

Now there is talk of Colombia
drafting an amended canal treaty to
be submitted to the United States
senate for ratification. This is only
another trick of the railroad corpor,
ations to head off the substitution OF
the Nicaragua route for the Panama
route. There is no doubt that large
majority Of the American people ia
vOr the former route, as was Indicated
by the unanimous vote given the Hep
burn canal bill in the lower house OF
congress. Corporation senators head
ed by Mark Hanna, succeeded in hav-
ing the Panama route substituted in
the bill and the house accepted the
amendment rather than see the pro-
ject killed altogether. Now the advo-
Gates of the Nicaragua route will have
another chance and they will not be
slow to make use of it. However, i,
will not be easy to get the corporation
ridden senate to recede from it's atti-
tude of abject subserviency to the will
of the transcontinental railroads.

PERRY HEATH is SAFE.

The Hon. Perry S. Heath, who was
first assistant postmaster general
during the administration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the architect of
the entire system of frauds in the
pOstoffice department, may now re-
turn to his native country and resume
his duties as secretary OF the repub-
lican national committee without the
least fear Of the consequences. That
is to say on Saturday last the limit
within which a criminal charge would
lie against him expired and as he was
not indicted before that time he is
absolutely secure now against prose
cutiOn until his criminal impulses
bring him into danger again, which is
only question of time

and the frauds which have so scanda-

But Mr.. Heath has not been indicted
because he is the secretary of the re-
