PREPARING PLANS.
Architect GerIach Is Kept Busy With
Builders.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Architect Henry c. Gerlach returned
to the city Wednesday night from Win
nebago City, having been engaged to
draw the plans for several buildings,
there and elsewhere. Arrangements had
been made with John Sharp, president of
the State Bank of Commerce of Winnie
bago City, from the drawing of plans for
a new bank building. It will be brick
structure, 26xl07 it., with two stories
and basement. The bank will occupy
the front part of the first floor and the
rear part will be fitted up for doctors
offices. The Northwestern Telephone
company will occupy the upstairs. The
two buildings will cost about $4,000.
Directly adjoining this building will be
another brick ediice, the plans for which
Mr.. Gerlach has also been engaged by
Mr.. Sharp to draw. This building will
measure 44xlO7 it., and will have two
stories and basement. There will be a
double store room on the ground floor
and Masonic lodge rooms in the second
story.
Mr.. Sharp has also employed Mr.. Ger
ZACH to draw plans for q twelve room
brick veneered residence, 36x60 it., and
costing about $4,000.
During the earlier part of the week
Mr.. Gerlach was at Sleepy Eye, where
he made arrangements to draw plans for
brick building for the Farmers and
Merchants State bank. This edifce will
occupy space 25x60 it., and will have
two stories and basement. The first
floor will be occupied by the banking
room and the second by business offices.
The basement will contain barber shops
and the heating plant. The building will
have brown stone front, and will cost
in the neighborhood of $500.
Mr.. Gerlach is also drawing plans for
a 81 800 frame cottage to be erected for
Henry Robel in North Mankato, next
to the dwelling of John Koppen.
All of these buildings are to be rushed
along this summer.

UNIQUE BUSINESS CARD.
State Will Hand Out Sandwiches al
the Big Fair.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
w. w. P. Mcconnell of the state dairy
and food commission has arranged to ad-
vertise Minnesota's food products by
serving bread and butter free at the st.
Louis exposition.
The exposition authorities have given
their consent, and the new feature will
be commenced at once. Advertising
matter pertaining to Minnesota's resour-
ces will also be distributed.
The bread and butter will be provided
by Minnesota farmers, and those who
sample it will be informed at what mill
and at what creamery the bread and
butter were produced. By this means,
Mr.. Mcconnell hopes to influence in
creased patronage for -four manufactur-
ers and buttermakers of the northwest.

OLEO is CROWDED OUT.
There Is Falling Off in Manufacture
of Imitation Butter.

From Fridays Daily.
The production of oleomargarine in the
United States during the government ifs
cal year ending June 80 was 80 per cent
less than in 1908 and 60 per cent less
than in 1902, according to information
received by the state dairy and food
commission. Statistics received by the
commission place the production in the
last year at approximately 100000
pounds, as compared with 100000 in
1908 and 100000 in 1902.
The decrease is due largely to the law
which has been in effect during the last
two years imposing tax of 10 cents per
pound on colored oleomargarine. The
law was not in effect in 1902, when the
production of oleomargarine was two and
one half times as much as in the last
year.
Although the dairy and food commits
sion has not received figures on the sale
of oleomargarine in Minnesota, the Of
ficials believe that there has been cor
responding decrease in the North Star
state. No ofeomargarine is manufactur-
ed in Minnesota, and less is being sold
each succeeding year.
The production of oleomargarine in
Chicago, which puts out two thirds of
the total product of the United States,
fell off from 993,7sO tubs in 1902 to 644,-
$50 in 1908 and 4lO,677 in 1904.
"People interested in the buttermaking
industry in Minnesota and the northwest
cannot help but being gratified at the
decrease in the production of oleomar-
garine," said Commissioner Mcconnell
yesterday, "as we were gratifed at the
action of the United States supreme
court in upholding the law imposing a
tax of 10 cents pound on the colored
product. This, of course, means that
butter is removed from unfair competi-
ton in the imitation product" st. Paul

LOAvEs AND FISHES.
Already There Is Wire Pulling Among
Mr.. Ounn's Friends.

From Fridays Daily.
Superintendent of Public instruction
Olsen's official shoes do not become va
cant until Jan. 4, 1905, but there is al
ready merry war on among number
of Republican educators throughout the
state as to who shall fill them.
The story was current about the CAPT
toll today that there is open warfare
between S. j. Race, superintendent OF
the schools of Redwood Falls and Supt
Wing, as to who shall be favored with
the position.
Races friends claim to have from R. c.
Dunn, the Republican nominee, YER
bal promise of the office in return for
Mr.. Races activity in Mr.. Dunn's be-
half. Kunze, when John Lind was gov
ernor, was appointed state chemist, but,
after accepting, declined, on promise
from leading Republicans that he would
be better rewarded if he stayed with the
party. He and his friends are now de-
manding the reward
From all accounts Superintendent Race
of Redwood Falls, was not the only man
promised Olson's position. Today it was
said that candidates were springing up
all over the state. They promise to
make life miserable for the incoming
executive. The position pays $500 a
year. Olsen has held it three and q half
years.
Mr.. Olsen was a staunch follower of
Judge Collins in the late gubernatorial
campanign and expects little mercy when
the new administration takes hold. He
has intimated to friends that he will re-
sign about the first of August.
In the event of Mr.. Dunn's success, c.
S. Mitchell, at present enjoying a nice
fat job as superintendent of the Mime
sofa exhibit at the st. Louis fair, so
knowing politicians say, will be the ex.
ecutive secretary.
Here also complication is limited at,
it being claimed that no less than four
others, prominent in Mr.. Dunn's cam
paign, have designs on the job. George
Finn, who was in charge of Mr.. Dunn's
campaign press bureau, perhaps is closer
to Mr.. Dunn than Mr.. Mitchell, but his
state acquaintance is not so extensive
Friends, however, say he could not re-
ward loyalty and faithful service bet
ter than giving the office to Mr.. Finn

From Friday's Daily.

Two men held up a barkeepeA in Mill

between $500 and 5000. They entered the
saloon when the barkeeper was alone,
demanded the money and, upon being re-
fused, dubbed the bartender into in

identity.

President Wahlstrom May Remain.
From Fridays Daily.

AS The Herald goes to press it learns
that there is possibility that DR.. M.
Wahlstrom may conclude to remain in
st. Peter after all and refuse to accept
his Chicago call, contamination devout-
ly to be wished. At the silver wedding
celebration Wednesday evening the trib-
ute to him was so sincere that he an
nounced that he had not accepted the
Chicago call and that after the demon
stration in honor he rather thought he
would conclude to remain here. Yester-
day he was interviewed by some of his
friends and he is now taking the matter
under consideration.-St. Peter Herald.

The convention was called at order at

Esopus, N. Y, July 9.-Judge Parker
spent yesterday as calm and as cool and
as courageous as though nothing of un-
usual interest were occurring. Proceed
dings of the Democratic national con-
vention were reported at his home by
telephone from the telegraph office at
Kingston, and each bulletin, if it was
interesting, was read to him by his Sec
rotary.
With the same determination he has
manifested from the first, the Judge is
refusing to discuss politics and that he
will stick to this determination until
after he is officially notified of his nomi-
nation there is no doubt When asked
"a pointed question, he hesitated for a
moment, then laughed outright, and gave
a good natured but non committal an
swer.
A report that his political advisers are
anxious to have the notification set for
a date ahead of the notification to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which is July q, has not
been confirmed here, but it is thought
likely that William F. Sheehan and
David B. Hill favor getting the judges
"views" before the public in advance of
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter.
Already Judge Parker is being mar.
ked for letters from cranks. They come
from all parts of the country and some
of them are threatening. These letters
are torn up, some of them without be.
ing read. Excitement over his nomination
has not caused the judges interest in his
home affairs to wane.
Derby, Conn, July 9,-Mrs. Harriet
Parker, mother of Judge Parker, who
lives in this city, has all along been con-
fident of her sons nomination and cleo
ton. Mrs. Parker is eighty years old,
but she looks and acts younger She
said today:
"My sons nomination is particularly
pleasing to me, because it came to him
unsought, but take even more COM
fort in the knowledge that his neighbors
and friends at Esopus- persons who
know him best-all have such a high
opinion of him."
Mrs. Parker attributes much of her
sons success to the fact that she dis
ciplined him with liberal application
of the switch in his early years. She
says the children of the present day have
not as good manners as the youth of
half century ago, a condition she as
cribes to the general abandonment of
corporal punishment.
