The public affairs committee of the
club, composed of the leading business
and professional men of the city have al
ready provided funds for the entertain

a complimentary boat ride around the
harbor and across the lake has been de-
termined on for those who may care to
make the trip. Other details are being
arranged and every effort will be made
to have the delegates and their friends

them come, get acquainted with her
people and see the sights of the greatest
inland port of the Americas.

ROCHESTER TO ST. PAUL.
Trolley Line Proposed BY A. B. Stick
ney and Others.

From Wednesdays Daily.
1t was reported today that small
group of st. Paul men, among whom il
President A. B. Stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western road, are considering 9
proposition to build the first rural cleo
trio line in Minnesota, to run south from
st. Paul, linking a number of small
towns, to Rochester. = 3
No surveys have yet been made, it is
stated, at present the men who have
taken up the project are engaged in the
preliminary work of obtaining informa.
ton concerning the feasibility of the
route proposed and the probable amount
of traffic which would be afforded by the
intermediate district.
"Such a line will be built sooner OF
later, said an official today who is ia
miliar with the proposals that have been
made. "My information, which is relia.
BILE, !. is that the capital to build the St
Paul Rochester line is ready for invest
ment the moment it is decided that the
character of the country to be traversed
will not necessitate a too heavy con.
struction cost. I have looked into the
matter myself, and am thoroughly salts.
fed that line to Rochester, with the
service afforded in the east by rural cleo.
trio lines, would not only pay, but would
pay heavily."2St. Paul Dispatch.

BACK TO COUNTY JAIL.
Michael Murphy Suddenly Receivers
His Thinking Apparatus.
From Wednesdays Daily.

from wednesdays Oauy.
Late Saturday afternoon Sheriff Eos
som received telephone message from
Superintendent Kilbourne of the hos
yital for the insane at Rochester, to go
there and remove Michael Murphy, the
attempted bank robber, who was copa-
mitted to that place for treatment about
two weeks ago. Yesterday Mr.. Fossom
went over and secured the insane" man
and returned last night with him and he
is now safely behind bolts and bars at
the county jail, to await trial at the
adjourned term of court in September.
Sheriff Fossom said the authorities
at the hospital declared Murphy Fhsd
shown no signs of insanity while there
and they could not keep him. This is
rather sudden recovery from mental
alteration and will prove an interesting
case for medical experts. Could he
have been tried at the late term of court
it would have saved the county the ex-
pense of boarding the worthless fellow
several months-Albert Lea Tribune.

Fire Creates Panic Among the
Young Folks at Park.
Charles Beckwith's Gasoline Stove
Emits Flames Suddenly.
No Serious Damage Done and Older
Heads Restore Order.
Other Features at the Park Aside from
Memorial Exercises.
From Tuesdays Daily.


Panic took possession of the living flag
yesterday afternoon for a moment as
the children were seated in the grand
stand listening to the memorial exercises.
Fire burst out from the canvas canopy
under which G. L. Beckwith was pop
ping corn to satisfy the brisk demand
that the celebration brought. Mr.. Beck
with rushed out carrying gasoline
stove, which was all afame. This he
threw up the hill, where it would not
endanger the structure where he sells
candy, fruits, soft drinks and other re-
freshments. The burning liquid had spat-
tered the left leg of his trousers, but the
limb was saved from being burned by a
bystander, who put the fire out with his
hands.
The children, who sat on the side of
the grand stand nearest the fire, took
fright The red and white stripes and
blue field were instantly mingled in
confusion, as the boys and girls tried
to make a hurried exit. They were
quickly quieted, however, by older heads,
and returned to their seats.
Mr.. Beckwith's right hand and arm
were severely burned by the flaming
gasoline stove, as he carried it. His
loss on account of the fire probably
amounted to $25, as the benches under
the canopy had to be torn away, and the
stove and popcorn apparatus were
spoiled.
The crowd that assembled at the park
probably numbered more than three
thousand and Mr. Beckwith sold out all
his ice cream, pop, candy, pop corn,
fruits and nearly all the bananas. The
whole stock of the little store practi-
cally disappeared. Yet his profits were
not enough to compensate him for the
loss he sustained on account of the fire.
The cause of the blaze was peculiar. A
young man filled the gasoline tank, just
after the light had been put out and
the burner was still hot. In some way
some of the gasoline was spilled on the
outside of the tank and ran down
on the outside of the pipe to the hot
burner, where it quickly caused an ex-
plosion. 1t was fortunate indeed that the
result was not more serioss
The memorial exercises were not the
only attraction at the PARK yesterday al
ternoon. Almost Immediately after the
exercises were over, baseball game was
commenced in the center field. The Sec
ond team of the MInkato Kow Hoos
lined up against tam that represented
the commercial college, though several
of the nine were. Of the high school. The
game was exceedingly interesting, and
was ATTENDED by large number of
spectators. The Kow Hoos won by the
decisive score of ii to 4.
During nearly the entire after
moor, the boys of Company II could be
beard shooting on the other side of the
Blue Earth river, where they were en-
gagged at target practice.

Exercises Were Held at the High
School Last Evening.
Much Enjoyment Was Gotten Out Of
Unique Entertainment.
Confessions BY the Students, the Will,
Cessation of HestiIitIes.
Several Teachers Kindly Remembered
BY the Graduates.

From Wednesdays Daily.
: Seniors of the Mankato high school
held the class day exercises in the as
sembly hall of the school last evening
This was really the grand wind-up of the
social side of the school life of these
pupils, who are to receive their diplo-
mas this week and 60 forth into, the
world. The annual class day, held by
each succeeding senior class just be-
fore graduation, is probably the occas-
ion of the greatest fun of the entire
year. The young people enjoy each
others sallies of wit and the "digs," for
which the past school life has always
furnished an abundance of subject mat
ter. No person is spared. Seniors and
lower classes, principal and teachers, and
even the superintendent, must stand as
targets for the mirth provoking shafts
of those who have their say on class
day.
The assembly hall was well filled last
night, as is invariably the case at such
entertainments, whatever sort of wea-
Their the fates happen to bring. Last
night the crowded hall was very warm
during the earlier part of the evening,
but, by raising all the windows on both
the outside walls to their full height,
and leaving the doors open to create a
draught, the room was easily cooled off
as soon as night had fairly set in.
The rostrum was decorated, as is usual
on such occasions, with the freshly cut
foliage of various trees. The seniors,
numbering about thirty-fve, did not
gather upon the rostrum, but sat among
the audience, in the front part of the
hall.
John Ray, vice president of the senior
class, announced the numbers of the
program. First came selection by the
school chorus, consisting of twenty five
voices, about two thirds of the singers
being girls. 81 cannot marry you, my
pretty maid Nobody asked you, SIR she
said" expresses the main subject mat
ter of the song, which they rendered
very prettily.
Probably the most original, unique and
thoroughly enjoyed feature of the en-
tire evening was ''The Class Confession"
by Miss Fannie Houk. This confession
was addressed to the superintendent, the
school board, the janitor, the teacher, and
all parties whom the pranks of these
august seniors, now about to 60 forth
to elevate the world, had annoyed from
time to time. Every seniors name was
given with the misdeeds he or she had
confessed, and the audience went from
one fit of laughter into another. There
were indeed some very shot Shots" Al
bert Krost, captain of the football team,
was the only one who maintained that
he was innocent of everything.
A violin solo, by Miss Mollie Klein
schmidt, accompanied on the piano by
Miss Elsie Koke, was well enjoyed and
heartily applauded.
Miss Frances Duane, in "The Glass
Prophecy" gave to her classmates plen-
ty of prominence and glory. All were
destined to become great, and if indeed
the class is composed entirely of gen.
fuses, as her prophecy implies, their
doings viii without doubt rebound to the

and breath of this country.
A recitation by Richard Girvin was an
amusing anecdote of how "Sonny Jones"
acquired his diploma.
"The Class WILL" read by Miss Isabel
Reid, was a number that pleased the
people exceedingly. Miss Fullerton,
principal of the high school, was pres
ented with token of love and appre-
citation on the part of the class, in the
form of beautiful hand-painted vase,
filled with American beauty roses. Other
requests that were made in the will were
rather in the nature of jokes, all of
which were easily understood by every
body, though they related very close
ly to events of the past school year.
To Superintendent Uline was be-
queathed all the spelling blanks and
other paraphernalia of that subject, the
enforced study of which caused the SEN
iors so much annoyance. To Prof. Gram
dali the will devised an electric scolding
machine for the geometry class; to Miss
Cornish, an electric observer to see what
is going on in the cloak room; to Miss
O'Donnell, two bright pupils of the alge-
bra class; to Professor Angler, plenty of
enthusiasm for the formation of root
ers' club; to Miss Friedlander, Latin
book in indirect discourse.
Miss Isidora Hauer, on behalf of the
seniors, and Miss Olive Morrison, on be-
half of the juniors, carried out in blank
verse, in the meter of 'The Song of Hia-
watha," the presentation of the peace
pipe by the upper class to the lower.
These two classes had been at war all
through the three years of their exist
ence together at school, and now, once
and for all, hostilities were declared to be
at an end.
The program was closed by the sing
ing of the "Class Song' by all the SEN
iors.
At the conclusion of the exercises the
seniors gathered in the upper hall to
receive their friends.

DESERTS HER HUSBAND
Mrs. Levingston Bean Departs For
an Unknown Destination.
Said to Have Met and Robbed an Owa.
tonna Man in Minnea polls.
From Wednesdays Daily.

1
Mrs. Livingston Bean, wife of one of
George Atchison's hack drivers, left the
city unexpectedly last evening, while her
husband was absent in Owatonna. When
the latter returned, he found that his
wife had left for st. Paul over the Mil
waukee road, on the p. m. train. She
had also billed some of the household
goods to Seattle, Wash.
Mr.. Bean, who is a steady, hardwork-
ing man, and has been with Mr.. Atchi-
son for four years past, is heartbroken
over the matter. The woman is his Sec
ond wife, and they have been married for
five or six years, but have no children.
They have gotten along nicely. He has
several children by his first wife, and
it is reported in the neighborhood of
their home that these did not get along
very well with their step-mother, who is
a young woman. Neighbors say that
they were sometimes insolent toward
her, but these reports came through her,
no doubt, and may not have reflected
the true situation.
Mrs. Bean is said to have received
some attention from an elderly Ovation
ma man who passed himself to Mr.. Bean
as her father, and who gave her a piano.
They apparently had some falling out,
for week ago he came to the city to
take back the piano, but Mrs. Bean was
too smooth for him and sold the instru-
ment.
Mr.. Bean did not suspect anything
wrong until a couple of months ago.
Having his suspicious aroused over the
Owatonna man, he went to that place
yesterday to investigate, and found that
he was out of town. On his return he
found that his wife was also gone.
This afternoon, the police received a
telephone message from Sheriff Dregger
of Hennepin, county saying that the
Owatonna man and Mrs. Bean had met
there by appointment, and that the man
claimed that Mrs. Bean had robbed him
of $25 and skipped. The sheriff wanted
to know whether she had returned to
Mankato. He also said that the party
who claimed to have been robbed would
come to Mankato to get out warrant
for the arrest of Mrs. Bean.
Mrs. Bean has not returned, and her
husband no longer thinks that she will.
The family has been residing at 2l5
South Fifth street. Mr.. Bean is well
spoken of by all, and his friends regret
his troubles. The family was burned
out at the time of the burning of the
FLETCHER building last winter. The neigh
bors have always had good opinion of
Mrs. Bean, who has always conducted
herself properly SO far as they have
known.

THE LITTLE JAP'S RATIONS.

The japanese soldier, it is said, can
carry enough rations in his knapsack
for ten days subsistence. This is due
to the fact that his chief ration is rice,
a very little Of which, when boiled, suf-
fees for meal. In this connection, it
may interest you to know that one two
pound package, of RiIlsbury's vitos, when
cooked, increases in weight to twelve
pounds, while the "ready-to-eat" cereals
increase not one ounce. Thus you get
eleven pounds more of food in every
package.

The rumored congressional candidacy

McCleary received his original nomina-

for the nomination outside of Blue Earth

Mr.. Miller is well known throughout
the state as a man of strict integrity,
a writer of exceptional ability, and a
Republican of prominence. He has had
considerable experience in legislative
matters, having served the people of his

state senate where he proved his ability
to successfully cope with important
questions affecting the interests of tax
